After eavesdropping on my thoughts, the cannon fodder family went crazy!

Chapter 42 Drawing a Clear Boundary
  The prince was originally afraid that others would say that he had formed a clique for personal gain, so he only came to give gifts after the banquet was over and all the officials had left.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jingyuan still refused so firmly.

"General... what you say makes sense. It seems that this gift from me is not appropriate. I will find a suitable gift and send it to you another day. It will be regarded as a belated first-year gift to General Lu's daughter. "

[Dad, you really impressed me today! I absolutely adore you! 】

Seeing the crown prince returning home, Lu Youyou couldn't help but praise her father in her heart.

[I didn’t expect that my dad, who looks so naive, has such a sharp tongue? 】

It's just that Lu Jingyuan felt a little unhappy when he heard this. In his daughter's heart, he has always been a good old man who only knows how to fight on the battlefield and has no intentions. He really doesn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

After the first-year banquet, the prince obviously still had not given up on trying to win over Lu Jingyuan.

Not only did the gifts keep coming, but Lu Shengqing and Lu Wushuang often saw the prince in various places in the palace and the Imperial College.

"His Royal Highness has been appearing a little too frequently recently, and I'm not used to it."

Lu Wushuang is at the Yulin Guard almost every day, patrolling everywhere in the palace, but the East Palace has his own guards and does not need to patrol by himself. Before, he would not have seen the prince once in ten days and a half, but today only , I only met him two or three times, and each time he had to say hello to me in front of everyone.

"Yes, the prince has been to the Imperial College four or five times in the past half month."

Lu Shengqing knew that his father Wu Yi was in the prince's camp, so he had always been polite to the prince without showing any intention of surrender.

"But this is not always an option. The staff of the Habayashi Guards is also complex. It is inevitable that there will be people from various camps. If this continues, I will be forced to side with the Crown Prince."

Although they rejected the prince's repeated overtures and gifts, the Lu family were still not immune to the prince's offensive.

Now it seems that only Lu Zhiyan and Lu Youyou are left without worries.

"Second brother, you are the smartest. Why don't you let me, Brother He, think of a solution?"

Lu Wushuang looked at Lu Zhiyan, who was lying on the couch reading a script, his eyes full of envy.

No wonder the second brother doesn't want to become an official in the court. Now it seems that only his choice is the most correct.

"Don't look at me," Lu Zhiyan said while flipping through the book, "That's the prince. Even if he doesn't get a response from you, he will give others the illusion that you are already in his camp. If you can't escape, there is no way. There is another way.”

It's not that Lu Zhiyan isn't worried, it's just that he knows it well.

"And if he is so impatient, wouldn't the emperor know?"

Even if the emperor doesn't take action, there is still Sheng Jingxuan who is eyeing him.

"The best way is to let the prince divert his attention, or just wait quietly. Someone will always take action."

Lu Shengqing listened to his words and felt that they made sense, so he took the book in Lu Zhiyan's hand.

"You've been very leisurely recently. Is your business picking up?"

"Of course, who am I? I not only started selling tooth powder, but also various spices. Now the business is on track, so I don't need to worry anymore."

Lu Zhiyan snatched the storybook and said, "I'll go over there and get it. I'm seeing something exciting." "I don't read this kind of thing. It's a waste of pen and ink to write such a boring story."

"What are you talking about again? I woke up my sister."

Lin Yuyan looked slightly annoyed, but she still did not blame her three sons.

She also knew that the prince had been following them very closely recently, and except for Lu Zhiyan, they were all very annoyed.

"It's nothing, it's just that I've made a lot of money recently, and I feel like it's time to relax and be my little boss."

Lu Zhiyan stood up and stretched, "I also want to be like Youyou and go to bed after eating. My belly has grown recently."

【I don’t have one! 】

Lu Youyou is still very concerned about her figure. Although she is only a one-year-old child now and can only roll around on the bed most of the time, she obviously eats very little!

[Brother, why don’t you try drinking those semi-liquid foods every day? I miss those delicious foods, but I can’t eat them now, it’s so uncomfortable! 】

Lu Zhiyan knew that his younger sister didn't like to hear him say that she had a baby belly, so he quickly changed his mind, "But when we grow up, we will definitely become famous ladies in the capital. We are already so beautiful now, and we will be so beautiful in the future." ?”

[Then I don’t know. In the original book, I was tortured to death before I grew up. What I became when I grew up was not written in the book. 】

Speaking of this, Lu Youyou was also a little frustrated. The one-year-old child could not fully express his thoughts and could not help the family.

"Stop talking about this, there are two new chefs in Zuixian Building. I heard that their skills are very good. I will ask someone to bring them to my house tonight. I will treat them!"

When Lu Youyou heard this, her eyes widened even more, and she quickly nodded towards Lu Zhiyan.

[Okay, okay, I really want to eat something good. Drinking goat milk all day long will make me feel bad! 】

It's a pity that things went against expectations. As a little baby whose teeth haven't grown yet, even if Lu Zhiyan was bleeding heavily and ordered a whole table of dishes, she could only watch from the side.

[Good second brother, you really ordered a table of delicious dishes, show me? 】

The more Lu Youyou thought about it, the angrier she became. Not only did the child who had just turned one year old not have any teeth, her fragile stomach couldn't stand such a dish that looked heavy on oil and salt.

However, Lu Youyou adapted quickly. As a new century salted fish, her main thing is to have a good attitude.

[Forget it, just think that I watched late-night mukbang. 】

Everyone at the table heard what Lu Youyou said, and although they felt a little sorry, because of Lu Youyou's physical condition, they still couldn't let her eat.

[This is no good. The sauce for the sweet and sour carp is not prepared properly. Although it has a sweet and sour taste, it ignores the taste itself. Lu Youyou sniffed and knew as soon as she smelled it, she must have put too much vinegar. 】

When Lu Zhiyan heard this, he picked up another chopstick, which made Lu Youyou shake his head again and again.

[This steamed yam is even worse. It is just mashed and not sieved. No matter how well the sauce is prepared, it has no taste and is just average. 】

Lu Zhiyan didn't expect that Lu Youyou had so much research on food, so he quickly poked his third brother and changed seats with him, so that he could get closer to Lu Youyou, just to hear it more clearly.
