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

Chapter 29
Liao Fuyu tilted her head and looked at her: "You are different from them."

Ye Wanqing smiled: "I grew up in Jindu since I was young, and I have learned more rules than them."

"This——" Liao Fuyu was speechless for a moment.

Ye Wanqing looked towards the West Mountain with a smile.

The sun is setting in the west, and a half-set sun is nestled against the mountain, like an unmarried girl with her face half-hidden, dyeing the sky red.

Liao Fuyu looked at Ye Wanqing's creamy face and pursed her lips and said, "I still think you are different from them. I heard that you chose a dandy prince as your husband. Those noble ladies privately said that you might have had a brain injury."

Ye Wanqing found it funny: "What else did you hear from them?"

"Too many!" Liao Fuyu became interested when talking about this: "Many noble ladies like that Lu Shizi. I heard that Lu Shizi had been engaged twice.

The first time, the woman was weak and frail since childhood, and died of a cold in the second year after the engagement. The second time, not long after the engagement, the woman was caught having an affair with a man, and when Prince Lu was taken away, the two were making love.

Ye Wanqing was stunned when she heard this.

In her previous life, she and Lu Jilian had been married for decades. She knew that Lu Jilian had been engaged before marrying her, but she had never heard of the details.

She suppressed her surprise and looked at Liao Fuyu who was very interested: "Are you sure you heard it right?"

"You didn't even know this?" Liao Fuyu widened her eyes.

Ye Wanqing shook her head.

Lu Jilian was a very capable person. He should have dealt with all these matters long ago before getting married in his previous life, and kept them secret from her like an iron barrel.

Perhaps Liao Fuyu had been holding it in for too long and had no one to talk to, so once she started talking, she just kept talking.

She shook her legs slightly and continued, "I didn't come to the capital this time on my own initiative. I was summoned by the imperial decree. My father is the Marquis of Jingbei, so I can't marry anyone I want, so I can only come to the capital and wait to be granted marriage..."

After he finished speaking, he let out a long sigh.

Only then did Ye Wanqing take a serious look at the girl next to her.

Liao Yanqi was stationed in the northern border, commanding nearly 300,000 troops. The marriage of his children involved marriage alliances and checks and balances of power, so naturally he could not marry them casually.

In the previous life, Emperor Fengyang granted the marriage of the daughter of Marquis Jingbei to Chu Xiaoyan because he saw that Prince Duan did not fight for anything and was obsessed with alchemy all day long.

But why did Prince Duan suddenly rebel?

Ye Wanqing collected her thoughts and suggested, "Marquis Jingbei has been stationed in the northern border for many years to defend the Western Wei against invaders. You have also made contributions by living in the northern border with the army. If you have your own ideas about the marriage, why not go and talk to Concubine Shu in private."

"Is it really feasible?" Liao Fuyu was surprised.

"Of course." Ye Wanqing nodded slightly.

Liao Fuyu grew up in a military camp in the northern border. She has a straightforward personality and can't hide anything. She says whatever she thinks. She is carefree and has no scheming.

The reason why Chu Xiaoyan hated her back then was probably because she spoke very directly.

If you force unsuitable people together, they will only end up as a couple of enemies.

If Liao Fuyu can find a good husband and live a peaceful life, it will be worth it for them to watch the sunset together today.

As for Chu Xiaoyan.

Ye Wanqing thought that she couldn't care less about so many things.

Liao Fuyu was very cheerful. After Ye Wanqing's suggestion, she immediately came to her senses: "You are right. When I go to the palace to pay my respects, I will go and talk to Concubine Qiao Shu!"

Ye Wanqing smiled and said, "I wish you good luck."

Liao Fuyu was very happy.

As the sky gradually darkened, Liao Fuyu stood up and said, "I feel much better after talking to you today. Thank you."

"You're welcome." Ye Wanqing smiled.

Liao Fuyu's eyes were dark and bright: "Miss Ye, can we be considered friends now?"

friend?

Ye Wanqing looked at her and chuckled, "Forget it."

Liao Fuyu said happily: "Then you can call me Fuyu from now on!"

Ye Wanqing nodded: "You can call me Qing'er." In the twilight, the two looked at each other and smiled for a long time.

When going down the mountain, Liao Fuyu's steps became more cheerful: "Qing'er, can you tell me more about the people and things in Jindu?"

"Who do you want to listen to?" Ye Wanqing asked.

Liao Fuyu thought for a moment and blurted out, "Let's start with Prince Lu."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lu Jilian coming towards him with a lantern in his hand.

Seeing the two of them, he raised the corners of his lips slightly and said softly, "Your Highness heard that Miss Ye and Miss Liao went up the mountain and have not returned yet, so he ordered me to look for you two. Go back."

After saying that, he stood sideways on the stone steps holding the lamp, making way for the two people.

Ye Wanqing felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Recently, the number of times she and Lu Jilian have met has become abnormally frequent.

Even in his previous life, after the engagement and before the marriage, Lu Jilian had never met her so many times, let alone talked to her.

The more she tried to get away from him, the closer he got.

Ye Wanqing felt uneasy.

She held Liao Fuyu's slender wrist through her sleeve and said to Lu Jilian, "Thank you for your help, Master Lu. Fuyu and I will go back now."

Liao Fuyu smiled dryly: "Thank you, Master Lu."

Lu Jilian smiled and said, "Please."

He deliberately slowed down his pace and held up the lamp so that he could illuminate the stone steps leading down the mountain more clearly.

Ye Wanqing remained silent.

She noticed that Liao Fuyu's palms were sweating slightly, and she didn't know if it was because of nervousness or just her physical condition.

The way down the mountain seemed particularly long. It took nearly half an hour before we finally reached a flat road.

Outside the Dharma Hall, the lights are bright.

Chu Gongxiao came over and saw the two holding hands. He couldn't help but smile and said, "I was wondering why you were reluctant to leave the mountain. Did you make a new friend?"

Ye Wanqing bowed with a smile: "The view on the top of the mountain is beautiful, and Miss Liao and I got along well, so we stayed for a while."

Liao Fuyu imitated Ye Wanqing and saluted uprightly: "Your servant Liao Fuyu greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Chu Gongxiao smiled faintly: "Miss Liao, there is no need to be so polite."

Then he looked at Ye Wanqing and said, "Qing'er, this is Miss Liao's first time in Beijing, so she must be unfamiliar with the capital. Since you and she get along well, please take good care of her."

Liao Fuyu blinked her big eyes and looked at Ye Wanqing.

Ye Wanqing smiled and agreed: "Okay."

Chu Gongxiao put one hand behind his back and said, "We will leave for Beijing at 11:00 tomorrow. It's getting late. You should go back and rest early."

The two of them responded.

At this time, groups of noble ladies passed by. After bowing to Chu Gongxiao from a distance, they cast curious glances at him.

Chu Gongxiao seemed to be unaware of anything and waved his hand: "Go ahead."

Ye Wanqing took Liao Fuyu away with her.

Only when they were far away from the Dharma Hall and walking in the corridor with scattered tree shadows did Liao Fuyu breathe a sigh of relief and patted his chest: "How terrible! This is the first time in my life that I have talked about someone behind their back, and I was caught by the deity."

Ye Wanqing comforted her: "It's okay. Master Lu is very generous and will definitely not blame you."

"That's right, Master Lu looks very friendly!" Liao Fuyu returned to her previous carefree self: "Qing'er, please chat with me about some interesting anecdotes in Jindu!"

Anecdotes?

Ye Wanqing thought for a moment and said slowly, "There is a tavern in Jindu. It is said that the wine brewed by the owner is better than the imperial jade liquid, but his wine can never be sold."

"Why?" Liao Fuyu was curious.
