Step by step lotus flower

Chapter 95 Temptation (4)
When Weng and son-in-law were polite, all the ladies in the flower hall hugged each other, maybe the eldest prince would come suddenly, and they all got up blushing and wanted to avoid it.

Unexpectedly, the eldest prince waved his hands and said with a smile: "Today, my king, like everyone else, came here to congratulate the old man. How can I spoil everyone's interest because of me? Please don't evade, ladies, I will go out immediately gone."

As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Mingfeng who was standing behind Mrs. Lu, who was dressed in a rose-red woven gold-twig patterned skirt and a goose-yellow thread skirt, wearing emerald emerald beads and a phoenix walker, and said softly with a smile: "There are days Seeing the eldest cousin, the eldest cousin is always in good health? Dingyi said a few days ago that the chrysanthemums in the imperial garden are blooming well this year, and I want to invite you to the palace to enjoy the flowers and stay for a few days. I don’t know when the cousin will be free Not free?"

Dingyi is the fifth princess of today, and her mother is a noble concubine, but unfortunately, the noble concubine passed away shortly after giving birth to Princess Dingyi. She was brought to Fengyi Palace to support her, and Princess Dingyi and Lu Mingfeng became handkerchief friends after coming and going, so the eldest prince would say this.

Lu Mingfeng had already lowered her head shyly when the eldest prince came in, and now after listening to the eldest prince's words, her face was so red that she could bleed, and said in a low voice with an unbearable shame: "Thank you, cousin, for your concern. I'm fine. I need to trouble my cousin to bring a message to Sister Dingyi, and thank her for taking the trouble to think about me. I will not let her down."

But my heart is sweeter than eating honey, I only think that the eldest prince is asking her to live in the palace for a short time, so that the two can meet each other frequently, but because of the etiquette, I can't say it clearly, so I can only come in the name of Princess Dingyi invite her.

A thought flashed across her mind, and she unconsciously thought of the words of the eldest prince brought back by Mrs. Lu when she came to Chukui a while ago. She just felt that if she could get a husband like this, she would never be happier or more satisfied in this life!
Hearing the words, the First Prince smiled even more gently, and said to Lu Mingfeng: "Cousin, don't worry, I will definitely bring my cousin's words with me when I go back."

As he spoke, he patted his forehead suddenly, and said with a self-conscious smile: "Look at my memory, by the way, I went to pay my respects to the queen mother before leaving the palace in the morning, and the queen mother heard that I was coming to pay respects to the old man's birthday, so she asked me to bring a box in the womb. The new pearl flower came out, and she said it was for my cousin and the younger sisters in the family to wear and play." While talking, he called out: "Xiao Yunzi."

Then I saw a young eunuch of twelve or thirteen years old, with red lips and white teeth, who was a little more beautiful than ordinary girls, ran in from outside, holding a square mother-of-pearl enamel box in his hand, and bowed his head to please his eyes after entering. Kneeling down in front of the eldest prince, he raised the box above his head with both hands.

The eldest prince then raised his hand to open the box, and saw that it was full of a box full of novel and delicate bead flowers, then smiled and said to Mrs. Lu: "I don't know if all the younger sisters in the house are here now? If they are all here , let the younger sisters come forward to thank you, and I can return to my mother when I go back."

The empress is both respectful and superior, now that she has something to reward, it is also the right thing to ask the person who gets the reward to come out and thank him. Mrs. Lu did not doubt that she had him, so she smiled and told Lu Mingfeng: "And Summon all your younger sisters, and come together to thank the empress for her kindness!"

Lu Mingfeng agreed, and walked around inside and outside the flower hall and Baosha, and then summoned Lu Mingzhu, Lu Mingli, Lu Mingya and Lu Mingxin, and the five sisters came forward and knelt down in a line, saying: "Thank you, my daughter." Empress Empress Grace!"

Unexpectedly, the eldest prince said: "Why are there only five younger sisters, the queen mother rewarded seven of them, saying that there are currently seven girls in the house, where are the other two?"

This means that even Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu are counted together, it's just that no matter whether it is Mrs. Lu or Lu Mingfeng, they didn't think about it just now. No matter how much Mrs. Lu loves Lu Mingxuan in her heart, the official girl of the Duke's Mansion also knows that she cannot be forced to show her head at this time, otherwise it will be a trivial matter to make her daughter-in-law and granddaughters unhappy. If Lu Mingxuan gets it because of this A reputation of "not knowing what is good or bad, but following the trend" will be a big loss!

Unexpectedly, the eldest prince actually said that the empress would reward both of them equally. Presumably, the eldest daughter-in-law must have mentioned them in front of the empress when she entered the palace in the past. Madam Lu felt relieved when she thought this way. , beckoned to Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu who were accompanying Qi in the corner: "What are you two girls doing, didn't you hear that the eldest prince said that the Empress Empress also rewarded you, why don't you hurry up and come forward to thank you?" ?”

At that time, Lu Mingxuan was secretly thinking that the little eunuch named 'Little Yunzi' was so beautiful, maybe he was one of the eldest prince's pets, but unexpectedly, the eldest prince would openly bring his pet to his fiancée's house , This is undoubtedly to slap the face of Dingguo Mansion and Lu Mingfeng, but unfortunately, no one in Dingguo Mansion knows about it, and they don't know whether to say that this is their blessing. After all, sometimes ignorance is a kind of happiness, or should it be said Is this their pathetic?

Hearing that the eldest prince said that the pearl flowers rewarded by the Empress not only belonged to the five real girls of the Duke's Mansion, but also to her and Lu Mingfu's two side girls, and the instinct improved almost instantly. Be vigilant, the empress is living in a nine-layered palace, and there are so many people she needs to see and worry about every day, how can she remember these two little people who are as humble as dust in her eyes?Even in the face of Duke Dingguo and Mrs. Lu, it shouldn't be like this; and even if the Empress really has something to reward, just send a eunuch or a female official, even if the eldest prince stops by again, it will be fine. There is no reason to use the majestic eldest son as an errand, not to mention that men and women are different inside and outside... If something goes wrong, it is a demon. How do you look at this matter, why is it so strange!
Lu Mingxuan was vigilant in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she just put on a look of fear and fear, stepped forward together with Lu Mingfu, lowered her eyebrows and knelt down beside Lu Mingxin, and said in unison: "Ministers, thank you for your kindness. "

I thought that after thanking them, the eldest prince would leave after handing over the box to them.

Unexpectedly, not only did the eldest prince not leave, but he distributed the beads and flowers in the box with them with great interest: "The queen mother also said that these two coral and turquoise ones are for the eldest cousin...these two are red gold inlaid blue The gold and stone ones are for the four cousins, and the six white jade inlaid with silver cores are for the remaining three cousins... As for the remaining four pearls, they are for the other two Miss Lu."

The eldest prince is already 19 years old this year, and next year will be the official age to reach the crown. It is logical that he shouldn’t be doing things like distributing pearl flowers with girls, but he raised the banner of "the queen mother said" from the very beginning , how dare others express their criticism even if they have criticism in their hearts?Therefore, whoever he called, he raised his hands above his head to accept the bead flower he handed over, and had to thank him alone again.
