Chapter 1 The Return
In the 14th year of Apocalypse, Lu Yi'an, the youngest daughter of Prime Minister Lu's family, married Gu Yuyan, the son of Prince Cheng's mansion. For a while, the capital was turbulent.

Counting that it has been four years since Miss Lu's third lady hid at home, who would have thought that her reappearance in the eyes of everyone was due to a marriage.

"Girl, your marriage is being discussed on the street, and many people are still talking about what happened four years ago." Qingyue whispered to the woman on the carriage.

"It's okay, let them talk." Lu Yi'an raised the corner of the curtain and looked at the still lively scene on the street, and murmured: "Ah Yue, I haven't left the palace for four years."

Qingyue raised her eyes to look at Lu Yian's face, she was much thinner and her eyes were different from before.

Dazed, Qingyue quickly said: "Girl, you must not make any mistakes when you come to thank you today. The eldest son has not returned yet, so the girl should be careful."

Lu Yian collected his thoughts and smiled at Qingyue, "I see, Ah Yue."

Qingyue was slightly stunned, this smile seemed like a lifetime ago, Qingyue didn't know how long she hadn't seen it, now she only hoped that the girl would be safe and sound when she came out of the house this time, and that she wouldn't have to suffer the pain she had endured for the past four years.

The noise around gradually calmed down, the carriage had already arrived at the gate of the palace, only one palace person was waiting at the gate of the palace, when they saw the carriage coming, they stepped forward and bowed slightly.

He said politely, "Miss San, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time."

Lu Yian was supported by Qingyue to get out of the car, and he nodded towards the palace man: "Eunuch Lao leads the way."

Along the way, Lu Yian kept his eyes on the ground. For the lady of the family, being summoned by the emperor himself is a great gift, and it is inevitable to look around to open her eyes. But for Lu Yian, this road is for her to step into a prison In a place of uneasiness, she has long since lost her yearning.

The strong scent of imperial dragons wafted from the imperial study room, and Lu Yian was poked on the nose as soon as he entered the door. Behind the large desk, the middle-aged man lowered his eyebrows and looked down. Lu Yian has seen it many times, and every time he bumps into this pair of eyes, he will be heartbroken. Surprised.

"My daughter Lu Yi'an pays her respects to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed and safe."

Lu Yi'an quickly looked away, knelt down on the ground and respectfully greeted the emperor.

The emperor put the booklet in his hand on the table, looked up at Lu Yi'an, and after a long silence, he said slowly: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and the third lady has become more and more calm. Your father asked for this marriage for you. Since you are out of the mansion, What should be done and what should not be done, you should know by now, can you understand my words?"

The emperor got straight to the point, as if he didn't want to talk nonsense, Lu Yi'an had typed up a bunch of drafts in his mind along the way, and it seemed a bit useless at this moment.

Lu Yi'an subconsciously flinched, and simply replied calmly: "I'm sorry, I will definitely cultivate myself in the future and prepare for the big wedding."

The emperor withdrew his gaze and picked up the memorial again, waved his hand and said, "If that's the case, you can go back."

Lu Yi'an heaved a sigh of relief, followed the palace servants out of the hall, waited until he returned to the carriage and said "return to the house", and then let go of all his strength and leaned on the carriage, closed his eyes and meditated.

The emperor's level is much easier than she imagined. It seems that her father has put a lot of thought into it.

Lu Yi'an looked for Gu Yuyan's face in his mind, and vaguely remembered Gu Yuyan's appearance when he was in his teens. At that time, Gu Yuyan was also a vigorous person in the capital, and he never thought that he would get a serious illness and stay at home.

Lu Yian sighed when he thought about it.

It's just that Lu Yi'an is not sure whether Gu Yuyan's marriage was voluntary or forced, maybe she was dragged down by her.

Lu Yi'an's forehead was aching, that's all, if it's such a big deal, she will find a chance to separate from Gu Yuyan in the future, and she should repay Gu Yuyan's kindness to relieve her urgent need.

"Qingyue, how are the rest of your Qing family doing?" Lu Yi'an asked.

Seeing that Lu Yi'an finally remembered Qing's family, Qingyue showed joy, "Girl, they are very good. The eldest son hid them back then, but you want to call them back?"

Lu Yi'an opened his eyes quickly, but he didn't expect that Lu Yibai was the one who protected them even though he was angry back then. He was surprised and warmed at the same time, after thinking for a moment, he said: "Then let them mix with the servants I chose for me. , Qingxue, Qingge, and Qingyun asked them to come to the courtyard to serve, and as for Qingfeng, Qingping asked them to continue training the people in Qingge."

"Yes, girl."

Lu Yian lifted the curtain of the car, and the dull breath just now disappeared, and he told the groom: "Go to the cemetery."

Qingyue hesitated to speak, Lu Yi'an said: "Let's go to pay homage to mother first, it's unfilial for me not to pay homage to my mother these few years. It won't take long, and it won't take too long."

Lu Yian's mother passed away Qingwan when she was a child. The largest grave in the Lu family cemetery belongs to Lu Yian's mother, but now it has lost its cleanliness. Thinking that Lu Yian has been grounded in the past few years, the people underneath will no longer be thing.

Lu Yi'an wiped Qingwan's tombstone clean with his own hands, and whispered softly: "Aniang, Yi'an is not filial. I haven't visited you for four years. I will definitely visit you often in the future."

Lu Yi'an stayed in the cemetery for a while, and stepped into the Prime Minister's Mansion in the dark. The beaming smile that greeted her as soon as she entered the door made her wonder whether she had gone through the wrong door.

The imperial decree just came down today, she didn't go to the cemetery to worship all afternoon, the prime minister's mansion changed from the inside to the outside, Lu Yi'an couldn't help but lamented that Aunt Feng's hands and feet were fast.

For the past four years, the prime minister has declared that the third lady is not feeling well and is recuperating in the mansion, and this time the marriage was granted because Lu Yian was not yet old enough and his health had just recovered, so the wedding date was set in three years, and Cheng Wang's mansion will follow the date that was expected in advance. In the future, I will hire from door to door.

It's three days, don't be so anxious, people who don't know think she will be engaged tomorrow.

Lu Yi'an didn't bother to answer, so he went back to Wanqiu Pavilion directly. The servants chosen for her by the mansion were already waiting in the yard, including Qingyue, a total of eight maids, Qingxue, Qingge, and Qingyun were among them.

Lu Yi'an stopped, turned his head to look at the eight people with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and said coldly: "The only rule for me is loyalty. I don't care who you served before. If you come into my yard, if you have other thoughts , I can't stand it."

Everyone bowed down, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Qingxue, Qingge, and Qingyun were promoted by Qingyue to serve beside Lu Yian, and among the remaining two or four people, two were assigned to be maids, and the other two were cooks.

Entering the inner room, Lu Yi'an called Qingyue and the others, and told him: "In the future, when you four are by my side, you must not trust others like before. In the future, we must be careful and protect ourselves."

Qingxue's eyes were moist, and she choked with sobs: "Don't worry, girl, we were ignorant in the past, and we practiced desperately in the past four years, in order to protect the girl in the future."

Lu Yi'an's eyes were also sore from being cited, "Let's not talk about the past, you all go to familiarize yourself with the things in the yard, and you have to pay attention to everything. Ah Yue, go and help me prepare water, I want to take a bath."

Lu Yian changed her clothes and looked at herself in the mirror. If it wasn't for her elder sister Lu Yining, this face might not exist anymore, but in the future, she will definitely not let others bully her.

On the second day, Lu Yian packed up early, because her sister Lu Yining would come to visit her today.

Lu Yining is now the crown princess, with a noble status and a deep affection for the crown prince.

Speaking of which, Lu Yining's original name was Lu Yi'an, but as an elder sister, she felt at ease when her younger sister was well, so their mother changed their names.

The sisters separated for four years, Lu Yining's eyes turned red the moment he saw Lu Yian, Lu Yining avoided everyone's etiquette, and pulled Lu Yian straight to the Wanqiu Pavilion under the pretext of being unwell.

Qingyue retreated everyone in the room, Lu Yi'an was pulled into the room, Lu Yining couldn't hold back the tears anymore, held Lu Yi'an's hand, and looked carefully from top to bottom.

In the past four years, Lu Yi'an has not only grown taller, but also become more beautiful, but the lively and lovely expression before has faded, and then changed into a calm and peaceful appearance.

Lu Yining couldn't help explaining: "An'an, sister has no choice, knowing that you have had a bad life in the past four years, I can only ask the prince to take my father to ask His Majesty for this marriage for you. My sister saw Yan from a distance earlier. On the side of the son, I only think that others are calm and unrestrained, and my sister just wants you to go out of the mansion to live in peace, and I don't want you to continue to be imprisoned in the mansion to suffer. An An, you will not spoil my sister."

Lu Yi'an also cried uncontrollably, "Sister, I know all about it. When I heard the news of the marriage, I thought of Sister."

The prime minister's status is special, Lu Yi'an caused disasters back then, even her own father couldn't excuse her, and the only one who could persuade the emperor to give her a marriage was the prince.

The only one who can put himself in Lu Yi'an's shoes is Lu Yining who is the princess.

The two sisters held each other's hands tightly. The tacit understanding between the two sisters is that even if they can't say anything, they both understand each other's thoughts.

There seemed to be someone talking outside the window, Lu Yi'an quickly wiped away the tears on his cheeks, took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions, his hand was still firmly holding Lu Yining's hand, "Sister, now you have an honorable status, I am a subject, you must not do it for me Such injuries, if others know about it, I'm afraid there will be another storm, as long as my sister is well in the East Palace, Yi'an will feel relieved."

At this moment, Concubine Feng's maidservant said loudly: "My maid please please the Crown Princess, Concubine Feng sent her maid to welcome your empress, the prime minister is already waiting in the front hall."

Qing Ge glared at the servant girl angrily, opened the curtain and went in, and whispered: "Girl, you can't even stop it."

Lu Yi'an sneered, she asked Qing Yun to watch in the main hall, as long as Lu Annan appeared, they would know, why did Aunt Feng come to inform.

Lu Yian called Qingyue Qingxue to tidy up Lu Yining's appearance, and when the eyes of the two sisters were not so red, they walked towards Aunt Feng's yard.

Although Lu Annan does not have Aunt Lifeng as the main wife, but now she lives in Tingyuxuan, which is the place where Qingwan lived at the beginning, and everyone knows the meaning of it.

Lu Yi'an couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, he was a little happy but also resentful.

After passing the long corridor, Lu Yi'an saw Lu Annan standing at the door looking towards this side after a long distance, Lu Yi'an took a step behind and walked behind Lu Yining, lowering his head slightly to cover his eyes full of emotions.

Seeing Lu Yining approaching, Lu Annan stepped forward and raised his hand to salute, as if he was a courtier.

Lu Yining stepped forward to hold Lu Annan's arm, and said softly, "Why did father show such a big gift?"

Although Lu Annan is Lu Yining's father, according to Lu Yining's current status, it is his duty to behave like a courtier.

But after hearing Lu Yining's words, Lu Annan still couldn't help laughing and said: "Prince Princess, let the minister bow, otherwise someone will join the minister tomorrow."

Lu Yining was helpless, the courtesy of a monarch and a minister could not be overstepped, so he let go of his hand and took a step back, and waited for Lu Annan to finish his salute before stepping forward to support Lu Annan, and then bowed his knees and returned the salute.

Lu Yi'an saluted Lu Annan immediately, with no joy on his face that he hadn't seen his father for a long time, and his eyes were so calm that Lu Annan didn't know how to speak.

Lu Yi'an's mood can probably be described with mixed feelings. At the beginning, Lu Annan begged the emperor to spare her life, and even gave up his position as prime minister, but then he left her to Aunt Feng and left her alone, so that she passed four years Dark days.

Every time he thinks about this, Lu Yi'an feels that Lu Annan is probably extremely disappointed in her.

Lu Annan looked at Lu Yi'an for a while, and finally stretched out his hand to support Lu Yi'an, and said slowly: "Since I'm out, I will be the third lady in the future, don't make trouble again."

It was a very plain sentence, without reprimands or greetings, but it made Lu Yi'an inexplicably relieved.

After a moment of silence, Lu Yi'an said, "Yes, Daddy."

The atmosphere was a bit depressing, Aunt Feng came out from behind Lu Annan at the right time, and smoothed things over with a coquettish smile: "Miss San will soon become a royal concubine, and the master is afraid that someone will bully her. San Mistress has stayed by my side for four years. We're going to get married soon, and I don't want to part with it."

Lu Yi'an didn't answer Aunt Feng's words, and didn't even give Aunt Feng a look. Lu Yining called his servant to bring a jewelry box and handed it to Aunt Feng.

"Auntie Feng has worked hard to take care of Yi'an these past few years. This is a little bit of my heart. I will have to serve the prince in the East Palace in the future. Auntie Feng will have to worry about Yi'an during the time before she gets married."

Aunt Feng took the jewelry box, saluted and said with a smile: "Where is the princess, I can be regarded as Yi'an's concubine, and I will take care of Yi'an with all my heart."

Lu Yining nodded lightly, and frowned slightly at Aunt Feng's words.

Lu Yining and Lu Yian are siblings, if Aunt Feng can be considered as Lu Yian's concubine, wouldn't she, the princess, also be Aunt Feng's daughter.

Lu Yining suddenly understood why Lu Annan had been reluctant to support Aunt Feng as wife after Qingwan passed away for so many years. If Lu Annan treated people like this, she would look down on her.

Because of the curfew in the East Palace, Lu Yining left in a hurry after dinner, Lu Yian watched Lu Yining until he could no longer see the carriage before turning around.

Aunt Feng said nonchalantly from the side: "The third girl will be rich and prosperous in the future, don't forget to take care of your concubine mother for four years."

Lu Yi'an glanced at Aunt Feng and didn't answer, flicked his sleeves and left, as if Aunt Feng was talking to the air just now.

Aunt Feng froze on the spot, looking at Lu Yi'an with dark eyes, she followed Lu Yi'an's sleeve and turned around and left after a while.
