Chapter 89 Picking Princess Chu
On the afternoon of April [-]th, the nuns beside the empress dowager came to the academy to pick up Zhao Heng to the palace, and the nuns beside the empress dowager also invited Lu Wanzhi to go.

Lu Wanzhi remembered what the queen mother said that day that she was not smart, but now she understands it. It turned out that the queen mother had already seen the little county king's feelings for her.

Seeing Lu Wanzhi go to the palace, Lu Yunxuan was full of worry and said: "Sister, that high side concubine is uneasy and kind, you should remember to be more careful with her, her body is precious now."

Zhao Heng said from the side: "With me here, are you still worried about your sister?"

Lu Yunxuan glanced at Zhao Heng displeasedly, "I'm worried about my sister only because I'm here."

Lu Wanzhi smiled lightly, patted Lu Yunxuan's head and said, "The Empress Dowager will definitely not make things difficult for me if she calls me into the palace, don't worry."

After arriving in the Ci'an Palace, Lu Wanzhi realized that today's Ci'an Palace is very lively. There are all the daughters of Chang'an who have not yet engaged in marriage, and many of them are familiar faces.

Jiang Suling was also among them. When Jiang Suling saw Lu Wanzhi, she repeatedly walked up to Lu Wanzhi and said, "Wanzhi, why are you here?"

Lu Wanzhi smiled and said: "The Empress Dowager summoned me, today the Ci'an Palace is very lively."

Jiang Suling whispered in Lu Wanzhi's ear, "Today is the dinner specially organized by the empress dowager to choose a stepmother for the little county king."

Lu Wanzhi gasped and said, "Why didn't the empress dowager tell you in advance?"

Lu Wanzhi looked at Zhao Heng, who was picking wicker and weaving crickets to coax him, and wondered if he would feel uncomfortable knowing that he had a stepmother.

Lu Wanzhi went to Zhao Heng's side, saw that the cricket he made up looked good and said, "Wouldn't you think you have such a skill?"

Zhao Heng handed the cricket to Xiao Heyi and said, "Of course, Brother Huang taught me to weave it when I was young. I can also weave dragonflies and butterflies. Shall I make one for you?"

Lu Wanzhi asked: "Do you know why there are so many young women in Ci'an Palace today?"

Zhao Heng said: "Grandmother is looking for a concubine for the King of Chu."

Seeing Zhao Heng so frankly, Lu Wanzhi said, "Aren't you sad?"

Zhao Heng said: "Why are you sad? Anyway, he has never been my father, I am grown up now, even if I have a princess, I dare not treat me harshly.

And even after having a concubine, the housekeeper is still in the hands of the elder sister-in-law, the imperial grandmother will definitely let the elder sister-in-law continue to take care of it, waiting for you to get started..."

Zhao Heng looked around for fear of someone eavesdropping, and whispered: "After you get started, I will give you the right to be the housekeeper."

Lu Wanzhi: "Zhao Heng, are you really not sad at all?"

Lu Wanzhi looked at Zhao Heng's calm appearance, a bit unlike him, but it would be better if Zhao Heng made a fuss.

Zhao Heng said: "I haven't had a father all these years. Does it matter whether he marries someone else? It's not like he didn't have other sons."

Holding the cricket in his hand, Heyi put it in front of Lu Wanzhi and said, "Auntie, let me play with you."

Lu Wanzhi took the suitable cricket and smiled at her, "Thank you little Princess."

Zhao Heng hugged Heyi and said, "Little uncle will take you to play on the swing."

Lu Wanzhi followed Zhao Heng and Heyi to a side courtyard of Ci'an Palace, there were many children's things inside, and there were already bunches of very small grapes on the grape shelf.

Below is a swing, Zhao Heng carried Heyi onto the swing, and was pushed by Heyi.

Heyi was a little scared at first, but gradually fell in love with it, clapping his hands and saying, "It's fun."

Lu Wanzhi sized it up and said, "Did you live here when you were young?"

"How do you know?" Zhao Heng asked.

Lu Wanzhi smiled and said: "This is all children's playthings, which shows that the Empress Dowager loves you, so whether there is Princess Chu or not, the Empress Dowager still likes you."

"Lu Wanzhi, the king of this county really doesn't feel bad about having a stepmother."

Zhao Heng looked at the sympathy in Lu Wanzhi's eyes and said, "I already knew that there would be a stepmother. I didn't mind it when I was young, let alone now."

Lu Wanzhi looked at Zhao Heng's expression, she didn't seem to be lying, "It's fine if you're fine."

Zhao Hengdao: "However, Princess Chu can be anyone, and it can't be the third girl of the Zhen Guo Gongfu that is rumored outside. If the third girl of the Shen family becomes my stepmother, then I will call Shen Luozhi my uncle in the future?"

Lu Wanzhi smiled lightly and said, "Yes."

Xiao Heyi looked up at Zhao Heng and said, "Uncle, I want uncle."

"Little heartless, little uncle is playing with you, and you are still thinking about your uncle." Zhao Heng smiled and touched Xiao Heyi's face, "Let your uncle come into the palace to play with you tomorrow."

Lu Wanzhi looked at the soft and cute little princess, glared at Zhao Heng and said, "How can you say that about a child?"

When Xiao Heyi saw Lu Wanzhi, she stretched out her hand for Lu Wanzhi to hug. Lu Wanzhi hugged Xiao Heyi, and played with Xiao Heyi in the courtyard.

Seeing the situation inside, Concubine Gao at the entrance of the courtyard frowned slightly and said: "This Lu Wanzhi has not entered the East Palace with Li, so she knows that she is here to please the little princess?"

Thinking about the crown prince's doting on the little princess, Concubine Gao's pointy nails were embedded in her flesh, when the grandson in her womb was born, maybe His Royal Highness the crown prince would love him even more.

"appropriate!"

"appropriate!"

Meng Jingshu looked for Heyi, and suddenly saw Concubine Gao at the gate of the courtyard.

Concubine Gao saw Meng Jingshu and said: "The princess concubine is very capable, she can't conceive a dragon grandson by herself, but she has found a good helper."

Meng Jingshu just felt that Concubine Gao was baffled, and when she entered the room, seeing that Heyi and Lu Wanzhi were having a good time, she breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought Heyi was brought by Ah Heng alone, but it turns out that you, Wanzhi, are also here. I'm relieved."

"Mother!" Xiao Heyi ran into Meng Jingshu's arms, and gave Meng Jingshu the small flower basket that Lu Wanzhi had woven for her, "The flower basket is beautiful."

Meng Jingshu looked at the little flower basket with a lot of emotion. She taught Lu Wanzhi to weave it before.

Zhao Heng said from the side: "The flower basket is more beautiful or the little cricket?"

"The flower basket is beautiful."

Zhao Heng ate at the side: "Hmph, I won't make up things for you, a heartless little boy, I'll ask your father to make it up for you."

Meng Jingshu said: "His Royal Highness is very busy, how can he make up these things to coax his daughter?"

Zhao Heng said: "That's not true. Brother Huang made these cute things when he was young. He can also make this little flower basket. He made these for me when I cried when I was young."

Meng Jingshu just smiled lightly and said: "Let's go, the banquet is about to start, don't keep the imperial grandmother waiting for a long time."

Lu Wanzhi looked at Meng Jingshu's expression wrongly and said, "Sister Jingshu, you didn't look at Xiao Heyi just now, did the Queen Mother tell you something?"

Meng Jingshu sighed and said: "It's not about the heirs of the East Palace. I thought that the empress dowager would stare at me less because of the concubine Gao's pregnancy. I never thought that the empress dowager would force me to become pregnant, but the matter of the child is not me. It can be said that there is something.”

Lu Wanzhi felt strange, the empress dowager is a sensible person, why would she keep such a close eye on elder sister Jingshu's heir?

Is it possible that this child will come after forcing sister Jingshu?
……

In Ci'an Palace, everyone has already taken their seats.

Except for His Majesty and the King of Chu who have not yet arrived, all the other seats have been taken.

The girls below looked out of the courtyard from time to time, looking forward to the early arrival of King Chu.

Zhao Heng sat next to the empress dowager and said: "Grandmother, my grandson doesn't like the third girl of the Shen family. You can choose anyone to be my stepmother, but the third girl Shen can't!"

The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "Everyone says that Third Miss Shen is the most like your mother. Ai's family is old, and she is a little dazzled, but she really looks a little like her."

Zhao Heng looked around, and looked at the part of Zhen Guogong's mansion, "How is it like my mother? Anyway, I don't want to be called Uncle Shen Luozhi."

The queen mother said, "Shen Luozhi? Is he the grandson of Duke Zhen? The Ai family has seen that he is very good-looking, handsome and literate. You should deal with this kind of man carefully. He is better than your cronies." But it's much better, and it doesn't hurt to be your uncle."

Zhao Heng took a second look at Miss Shen San, he would never allow Shen Luozhi to be his uncle!
Miss Shen San saw Zhao Heng looking at her, lowered her eyes shyly, and kept twisting the handkerchief.
