Step by step lotus flower

Chapter 96 Temptation (5)
Things have progressed to this point, what Lu Mingxuan still doesn't understand, I'm afraid it's not true that the Empress Empress rewarded them with pearls and flowers, and the eldest prince wanted to use this opportunity to find out who ruined his good deed in Youyou Valley that day?
Lu Mingxuan couldn't help clenching her fists tightly, and raised her heart high, but she still didn't show anything on her face. She only deliberately lowered her voice a little when it was her turn: "Minister, thank you Empress for your kindness." He said, but he couldn't help but rejoice, fortunately, Dan Qing's status was low, and he couldn't enter the hall, otherwise, once the eldest prince became suspicious of her, and then called her maids to try to lure her into talking, wouldn't their masters and servants be out of order?
Lu Mingxuan is the youngest among the five girls in the Duke's Mansion, including Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu. Naturally, she was the last in line to receive the pearl flower. The eldest prince deliberately pricked up his ears to listen to the voices of all the girls. , found that it was not consistent with what he heard in the secluded valley that day, so he couldn't help but frowned a little, wondering if it wasn't the girl from the Duke's mansion that ruined his good deed that day, but someone else?

——Lu Mingxuan's guess is indeed correct. The first prince just wanted to find out who ruined his good deeds in Youyou Valley that day. The more I think about it, the more I feel that the previous things are not good. I was spoiled by someone, and I didn't go to Wushan with Xiao Ling'er. Outside the valley?You must know that it is only a wall away from the outer courtyard of the Duke's Mansion. If the other party is really a girl from the Duke's Mansion, there is no reason why you don't know who she is, so why would she appear there rashly? You must know that she was the fourth-generation eldest grandson of the Duke's Mansion that day. On the good day of the full moon, there are countless guests who come to congratulate. Are their masters and servants not afraid of being seen or even offended?

Especially after the incident, I asked my confidants to inquire, and learned that Lu Mingfeng never left the water pavilion where the wine was placed in the inner courtyard that day, and Ling Mengqi was quickly brought back to the Sizhi Pavilion from the secluded valley, and there was a little wind after the incident. After nothing leaked out, the doubts in the eldest prince's heart became more intense. Did the master and servant who ruined his good deeds do it on purpose after secretly overhearing the conversation between him and Xiao Ling'er, or did they not hear anything? Is it just unintentional coincidence?

If it's unintentional, it's fine, but if it's intentional, then the master and servant are determined not to stay any longer. The father doesn't want to see him at all, and puts all his heart on Luo Guifei, the fourth son of the concubine Luo Gui, that little bastard. However, due to the fact that he took up the title of eldest son, he was afraid that the courtiers and censors would not agree, so he has not established a prince so far. Let someone who cares about this matter know, and then spread to the ears of the emperor, what future does he have to talk about?That's why he "would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go." He must find out the pair of master and servant, and then silence them early, so as not to leak the news in the future, even if it is too late to regret it!

It was with this kind of thinking that the eldest prince came up with today's method. Before that, he secretly asked his confidants to inquire about Lu Xixian's full moon banquet, which girls in Dingguo's mansion had left the waterside pavilion, However, besides the girls from Dingguo's mansion, there were also many girls from the side branches of the Lu family who also came to Dingguo's mansion, and they could also call Lu Mingfeng "big sister". , he can only make such a bad plan, first check the girls in Dingguo's mansion, if not, then try to check out the side girls who came to Dingguo's mansion to congratulate that day.

While the eldest prince was thinking, Lu Wenting was ordered by Lu Zhongmian to come in and invite him to sit down. Although the eldest prince was full of doubts, he didn't want to go out at this time. He wanted to stay and listen carefully to the voices of the girls in the Duke's Mansion. After all, Just a short sentence of thanking you can't understand why, but he had already said that he was going out immediately, and now that Lu Wenting came to invite him in person, he had no reason to shirk, so he had to forcefully resign from the old Duke with a smile Grandpa and Mrs. Lu left the flower hall together with Lu Wenting.

Lu Mingxuan watched the two people's backs completely disappear from sight, and then her tense nerves relaxed. Only then did she realize that her back was cold and sticky, and she didn't know when her underwear was wet with sweat, and she couldn't help but secretly fear. I can't help it, luckily I just figured it out, guessed the intention of the eldest prince, and deliberately lowered my voice a little, otherwise I was afraid that the eldest prince would find out on the spot. I was the one who ruined his good deed that day and discovered his secret. Even if I didn't die in the hands of Lu Mingzhu like in the previous life, I'm afraid I would die in the hands of the eldest prince for no reason. Then what's the point of her careful and careful steps since her rebirth?
It's just that the eldest prince failed to see her through, but it doesn't mean that he will not be able to see her through in the future. After all, he only said a single sentence just now, and he deliberately lowered his voice. But no one can say that the eldest prince will not be suspicious after going down, and then think of other ways to test her - it seems that she will have to be more careful in the future, and whenever the eldest prince appears, she will try her best to keep quiet and raise her voice at all times. Twelve points of vigilance!

Because the eldest prince made such a move, Lu Mingxuan couldn't help being a little absent-minded for the next time. Fortunately, their sisters and the Qi family sat quite far away from the guest-of-honor seat where the old man and Mrs. Lu sat. The distance, and most of the eyes of the people turned around the guest seat, but no one noticed her strangeness.

Lu Mingxuan was eating a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus candied lotus root without taste, when Lu Mingfu suddenly leaned into her ear and jokingly said in a voice that was only audible to each other: "What's wrong with you, I haven't seen you say anything since the eldest prince left. In a word, could it be that you were overwhelmed by the Eldest Prince's demeanor and majesty, and came up with some kind of idea to make it work?"

"How is it possible?" Lu Mingxuan said without thinking, but she did not forget to lower her voice, "Not to mention that the eldest prince is the eldest sister's fiancé-in-law, and his identity is beyond my imagination. How outstanding is it? Let’s not talk about it, the Duke’s Mansion can find several people who are not inferior to him, how can I be convinced by him?” What’s more, others don’t know that the eldest prince is a broken sleeve, But she knows it well, unless she is stupid, she will be confused and convinced by it!

Lu Mingfu remembered that putting aside his identity, the Eldest Prince was indeed not that outstanding in terms of demeanor alone. Leaving aside, Ling Mengqi alone was enough to beat him by countless streets, so she nodded and said: " That's right..."

Before the conversation started, Lu Wenzhu, who was wearing a stone-blue silk robe at the guest-of-honour seat, suddenly stood up, laughed loudly, and said to the old man and Mrs. Lu, "Today is your grandpa's birthday." Qianqiu, grandson doesn't have any valuable gifts to give, so how about performing a little trick in public to entertain the grandparents and the distinguished guests?"

The old man always loved Lu Wenzhu the most. When he saw him say this, he laughed and scolded: "You are making trouble again. Be careful, the guests are making fun of you." Although he was scolding Lu Wenzhu, the tone of love And doting is everyone can hear it.
