Back to the marriage proposal, helping the incompetent husband to rise to the top

Chapter 289 Not a Bad Person
"I heard that it started because Marquis Dingyuan and his wife both entered the palace, one went to see the emperor, and the other went to see the empress dowager...

According to gossip, the Marquis Dingyuan and his wife went to ask the Emperor and the Queen Mother to grant Lu Jilian a marriage...

It’s hard to tell whether it’s true or not, but from the princes and grandchildren of the emperor to the sons and daughters of officials above the fifth rank, anyone over the age of fifteen must attend…”

Chu Anlan was shocked: "Such a big scene?"

Chu Shengxi said: "Although our coming to Lin'an was part of our pre-planned plan, we also wanted to avoid the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

If I go there, and the emperor gets drunk and happy, he will just randomly arrange a marriage for me, and my life will be over."

Ye Chenxi patted his chest hard: "Fortunately, I don't plan to return to Beijing. I'm still young and don't want to get married and have children.

I don’t have enough money to spend on myself.

Besides, I don’t want to be called up at dawn every day to go to the Imperial College, and then go home to take care of the children at night..."

Chu Shengxi shuddered: "I totally agree."

Tu Subo sighed: "Fortunately, my father is only a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, fortunately, I have an older brother, fortunately, it is not my turn to be granted marriage..."

Chu Shaozhen drank half a cup of tea in silence before speaking: "The gossip I heard this time is mainly about Lu Jilian's marriage.

The Emperor and the Crown Prince have always valued him. He had just won the first place in the imperial examination in spring and entered the Imperial Academy as an official. Later, he made great contributions in the case of Prince Qing's rebellion. He was very popular and more glorious than the prince...

Everyone else is just a foil."

Chu Anlan grabbed a handful of melon seeds and took a bite: "Lu Jilian is so shameless."

"Isn't it?" Chu Shengxi lowered his voice: "It's even bigger than the selection of the Crown Princess..."

Chu Anlan clicked his tongue.

Chu Shengxi curled her lips: "If the princesses were not still young, the emperor might have given him a princess."

Ye Chenxi was puzzled and said, "But the prince consort of the Western Wei Dynasty cannot have real power."

"Silly." Chu Shengxi touched Ye Chenxi's head: "Other princes-in-law cannot have real power, but this does not prevent the emperor from giving Lu Jilian special privileges."

Ye Chenxi muttered quietly: "He is indeed Lu Jilian... My father married my mother who was named the eldest princess, but he can only be an idle marquis..."

"The Marquis is already doing well." Chu Shengxi said enviously, "The Marquis is in the Beijing Guards, in charge of the daily peace of the capital."

Ye Chenxi replied: "Yes, if someone loses a chicken, my father will send someone to look for it."

"Pfft..."

I don't know who laughed out loud.

Then, everyone in the room laughed.

"Forget it, let's not talk about the shitty things in the capital." Chu Shengxi said eagerly: "An Lan, Chen Xi, tell me about the interesting things that happened in Lin'an?"

"Interesting things in Lin'an? There are so many!"

……

Seeing that they were chatting happily, Ye Wanqing stood up and quietly left, asking the maid to bring some snacks.

Just at this time, Ying Xiang came to find her: "Princess, Madam Ling has arrived with the young master."

Ye Wanqing nodded: "I'll go take a look."

The sun was not very strong in the morning, and Lu Xinrou was sitting under the flower stand in the yard holding Xiao Fengnian.

Xiao Fengnian lay in his mother's arms, babbling, and it sounded like he was not only in a good mood, but also in much better health.

Ye Wanqing walked over slowly: "Xinrou."

Lu Xinrou stood up: "Princess..."

She held the child in her arms, hesitant to speak.

Ye Wanqing asked someone to bring a cradle, and then asked: "Xinrou, you look very bad today, are you feeling unwell again?"

Lu Xinrou hesitated for a while, and finally made up her mind: "Princess, yesterday, Mr. Lu's people came to me again..."

"Lu Jilian?" Ye Wanqing's face was calm: "What did his people tell you?" Lu Xinrou said: "He said that his master and Fengnian are destined to be together, and if Fengnian encounters any difficulties in the future, he can go to Beijing to find Master Lu.

This sentence is valid for life."

"Anything else?" Ye Wanqing asked.

Lu Xinrou added: "He also said that his family apologized for their previous rudeness and hoped that I would not mind.

Mr. Lu gave me a house deed, a land deed, and a large sum of silver notes...

However, I did not accept them all and rejected them all.

Although it is difficult for me to raise a child alone, I also know that there is no good thing in this world that comes without hard work.

Besides, I don’t know that Lord Lu, I’m afraid…”

Ye Wanqing's eyes moved slightly.

After Lu Xinrou finished speaking, she said, “He is not a bad person, you don’t have to be afraid.

But there is really no need for any intersection.

You and Fengnian live peacefully in Lin'an, he won't come again, and he will forget about this matter as time goes by."

Lu Xinrou thought about it and finally asked the question in her heart: "Princess, that gentleman...hasn't he ever gotten married?
He wants to take Fengnian away, is it because of you, Princess?"

Looking at Lu Xinrou who looked worried, Ye Wanqing thought for a moment before speaking: "That Lord Lu is indeed not married yet.

However, the emperor is already preparing to arrange a marriage for him.

Soon, he will have a wife who is in perfect harmony with him, and many smart and lovely children...

From now on, you just need to take good care of your health and take good care of Xiao Fengnian, and you don’t have to worry about anything else.”

Lu Xinrou nodded: "I will listen to the princess."

Ye Wanqing added: "The weather these days is pretty good. Pick a day to move. I'll assign a few people to you and you just need to arrange them."

Lu Xinrou asked: "Are the princess and the prince about to leave Lin'an?"

Ye Wanqing said slowly: "We were originally planning to set off after the Mid-Autumn Festival, but now the prince has sprained his ankle, and I don't know if he can recover by then.

If you recover, you will leave on August 16 or 17."

Lu Xinrou showed a hint of reluctance: "Are you going back to Lin'an this year?"

"You're not going back?" Ye Wanqing looked at her with a gentle look in her eyes: "If you have anything to say, send me a message.

In the future, even if the prince and I are not in Lin'an, the housekeeper here will often visit you and Xiao Fengnian.

Take good care of yourself, there is still a long time to come, and we will have many opportunities to meet each other. "

Lu Xinrou's eyes were red: "Okay..."

Ye Wanqing wanted to say something to comfort her, but she was worried that Lu Xinrou was too sensitive and that it would be useless to say more, so she changed the subject: "Those who came today are all playmates of the prince since childhood, and are close friends for life and death.

They are all young men with strong sense of honor. The prince asked you to bring Fengnian here so that he could let them recognize him.

In the future, if the prince and I are traveling somewhere else and it’s too far for us to reach you, maybe we can ask them to look after you and your son…”

Since they were all family, at the strong request of Ye Chenxi and Chu Shengxi, lunch was placed under the grape trellis in the courtyard.

Before the meal started, little Fengnian was brought in first.

Chu Shengxi, Chu Shaozhen and Tu Subo all gathered around curiously.

Chu Shengxi was always rude, and he started by saying, "No way, An Lan, it's been so long since we last met, and your and Princess's sister-in-law's child is already this big?"

Chu Anlan pretended to kick him: "If you don't know how to speak, shut up! If you say another word, Ye Chenxi will make you a mute medicine to drink."

"Mute medicine?" Chu Shengxi was surprised: "Can Chen Xi make it?"

Chu Anlan said: "He can't match it, so you drink whatever is given to you. Life and death are up to fate."
