Wen Heng knew that the little girl came up with this idea for him because she saw that he had not left the palace for a long time.
But he did have to leave the palace, and Ling He probably hadn't heard from him for a long time.
The Queen Mother turned a blind eye and felt that she owed Wen Heng something, but fortunately Wen Heng never took advantage of this debt to ask for anything.
But the Queen Mother also knew that Emperor Shunde wanted Wen Yan to marry Xia Zhiliao in the future.
But because she loved her children, she didn't want him to make the relationship so awkward so early.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Wen Heng and Xia Zhiliao are better.
When Xia Zhiliao was in front of Wen Heng, there was not only coldness in Wen Heng's eyes, but also light.
That was something he had never experienced in the palace.
Wen Heng left the palace with Princess Yi Yang and Xia Zhiliao. They didn't talk much on the way, but he was quite surprised when he saw the shop that Xia Zhiliao had set up.
But it also seems like her work. After all, these strange but delicious foods are just like her.
Weird, but good.
"Would you like to try it?" Xia Zhiliao asked.
Wen Heng nodded, "Otherwise it would be a waste of time."
After he tasted it, he finally understood why people had to queue up for so long here. The food was unexpectedly delicious and unique. The food here was almost unique and could not be found in other restaurants.
Just now, the people in the queue were unhappy because they two came in first.
Later, the guy revealed their identities and the matter was settled.
Otherwise, if you cut in line, you will probably be scolded at best and beaten at worst.
Xia Zhiliao selected some food that the Queen Mother could eat and asked him to take it back. However, delicious food must be cooked and eaten immediately to ensure the taste. The taste will definitely be worse if it is cold.
…
Lu family.
Old Mrs. Lu had been bedridden for some days, and she managed to hold on by herself. She was now very thin, but she had plans for the autumn hunt.
She called Mrs. Lu and her two granddaughters to the bedside, but Bai Huiru was naturally not qualified.
Although Lu Seyan was not the daughter of Madam Lu, she was also the master of the Hou Mansion, and Bai Huiru, a concubine, was a servant of the Hou Mansion.
After the three of them arrived, Madam Lu motioned for them to sit down.
"The autumn hunting is coming soon. What are your plans?" asked Mrs. Lu.
"We don't have any male heirs in the Hou Mansion. We didn't go there last year, and this incident happened again this year. We'd better stay out of the spotlight."
Madam Lu looked at Lu Seyan, obviously expecting to get some different answers from her.
"Grandma, mother, I think we should go."
"You're being highlighted again, aren't you?" Lu Ruoyan sneered. "What are you going to do? You're just clapping your hands while watching others go hunting? Isn't it embarrassing that no one else can go?"
Lu Seyan did not argue with her, but said seriously to Madam Lu, "The more others look down on the Hou Mansion, the more the Hou Mansion cannot hide. In the long run, people will only look down on us even more, and we will have no place to stand in the future."
She knew that this was also what the old lady meant.
Madam Lu nodded and looked at Lu Seyan, knowing that this granddaughter had some talent. "It's a pity that you are a girl."
If it is a boy, the Hou Mansion can still rely on her to turn things around, but if it is a girl, then they can only choose a good match. Relying on a man, they can also maintain a little glory for the Hou Mansion.
Lu Ruoyan was happy because the prince had fallen. Although the Hou Mansion no longer had a backer, she, Lu Seyan, could no longer enjoy glory.
After all, everyone thought she was the prince's woman before.
Lu Seyan said firmly, "Grandma, now there are only women left in the Hou Mansion, and only women can be relied on. You are also a woman, but I think you have the talent to be a general and minister, and you are no worse than a man."
Lu Seyan never accepted her fate. So what if she was a girl? So what if she was born to a concubine? She didn't think she was worse than others.
Lu Ruoyan rolled her eyes, thinking that Lu Seyan was really good at flattering.
Lu Seyan was trying to please others, but she really thought so in her heart.
Old Madam Lu sighed, if she were twenty years younger, she would be able to do it. Unfortunately, she has the will but not the ability.
She was also a person who refused to admit defeat, but now she thought about it, she doted on her son too much, which made him lose the ambition to make progress. The Hou Mansion became much more desolate in his hands.
"You just said you were going, but what were you going for? Or do you want to choose a husband?"
Lu Ruoyan sneered and said, "Are you still dreaming of becoming a phoenix? Wake up, the former crown prince is finished."
"Shut up!" Old Mrs. Lu coldly scolded the outspoken Lu Ruoyan.
Lu Ruoyan pursed her lips in grievance, "Grandma, you are too partial now."
Old Madam Lu glared at her and said, "Even if there is no male heir, I still think Se Yan is right. Unfortunately, I am not in good health and cannot go with you. You can take the two sisters with you."
Madam Lu glanced at Lu Seyan and said, "Mom, you are not in good health. We can't be at ease at this time."
"Aren't you usually the most filial? Just stay and take care of your grandmother."
Lu Seyan curled her lips, "I do want to, but are you sure you can earn some face for the Hou Mansion?"
She added with a faint smile, "Will it still cause trouble?"
"Who are you...looking down on? You talk as if you can do it."
"Why are you arguing? You'll make a fool of yourself." Old Madam Lu said loudly, "What's wrong with not having a male heir? You can bring female relatives with you on the autumn hunt. Just go."
Lu Ruoyan glanced at Lu Seyan and didn't take her seriously. "Grandmother, something happened to the young lady of the Su family. She is no longer qualified to be the concubine of King Rui..."
When she said this, Lu Seyan guessed that she must think that the second prince is the most likely heir to the throne.
Then it would not be bad to be the concubine of Prince Rui.
What's more, Princess Rui gave birth to a daughter, so now not only her but many people are thinking about becoming the concubine of Prince Rui. If she could give birth to a son, it would be different.
Old Mrs. Lu looked at Lu Seyan, wanting to ask for her opinion.
Lu Ruoyan was a little unhappy. This was her own idea, so why did she ask Lu Seyan's opinion?
Could it be that her grandmother wanted to give her a chance?
"Grandma, she almost became the former crown prince. King Rui will definitely not choose her. If it were me, I would also be disgusted."
Madam Lu glared at Lu Ruoyan, "Last time, you were almost implicated. You must be careful this time."
She knew that Lu Seyan had always rejected the current prince's people. Could it be that she knew something?
That's why she wanted to hear her opinion this time.
Unfortunately, Lu Ruoyan didn't understand all this. No matter how much she loved her granddaughter, she was not capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of the Marquis' Mansion.
Therefore, even though something happened to the former prince, not only did Old Lady Lu not ignore Lu Seyan, but she relied on her even more.
