Chapter 255 He is finally not a pervert
Ever since Lu Xinran got the news that the empress had set out to return to the capital, he has been eagerly waiting for news that Lu Xinlan would return to the capital as well.
During the time when she was not around, she had no one to share all her thoughts and secrets with, which made her feel particularly lost.
But she also understood that staying in Yucheng Pass was the best choice for Lu Xinlan.
There she was not bound by her status, nor did she have to worry about the difficulties of the human relationships.
Thinking of this, she felt a little lost.
Her wedding date is at the end of the year, and once she gets married, it will be difficult for her to leave Beijing in the future.
And Lu Xinlan probably doesn't have much chance of coming back, so they will have to go their separate ways.
It would be great if I could cancel the engagement. It is more important for a man to have good sisters.
But Song Junyan was willing to promise a peaceful and prosperous era, and she wanted to contribute to this ambition.
Amid the turmoil, news from the border was delivered to the palace, and Lu Xinlan returned with the empress.
When she heard the news, she jumped out of bed.
Are you back?
How could she come back?
Liu had never given up on asking Lu Jinchuan to marry her, and once she came back, Lu Jinchuan would definitely make the final decision on the marriage.
When she gets married, she will no longer be free.
She was anxious and went to look for Song Junyan without thinking.
"Can you send a message to the road? My sister can't come back. Once she comes back, grandfather will definitely arrange a marriage for her."
"Is it the Tang family's marriage? Lord Tang and Tang Chongli are both very good people. This should be a good marriage."
Moreover, the climate at the border is harsh, and it is not something that a lady who was brought up in a well-off family can adapt to.
Song Junyan didn't understand why she was so anxious.
"What is good or bad in the eyes of the world is judged by outsiders. How your life is is like a pair of shoes on your feet. Only you know whether it fits you. How do you know that this marriage is what she wants? And how can you determine that what you see as bad and hard is what she cares about?"
Her tone was not gentle because of her anxiety, but Song Junyan just looked at her intently, without any displeasure or blame in his eyes.
"Okay, you write a letter now, and I'll have Ding San go over there and hand it to her in person, is that okay?"
His tone was too gentle, and Lu Xinran realized that his attitude just now was not very good, so he stroked the hair beside his ear uncomfortably.
She followed Song Junyan to the desk, picked up a pen and wrote down everything she was thinking in the letter.
After folding the letter and putting it in the envelope, Song Junyan sealed the letter with wax in front of her, and then called Ding San over to give him detailed instructions.
"With Ding San's pace, he will meet them in two days at most."
"Well, this time, thank you."
Lu Xinran said thank you with some hesitation, "I, I will find a way to repay you."
Song Junyan only smiled faintly and shook his head: "Since you and I are engaged, there is no need to be too meticulous. If you have such troubles in the future, just come and scold me."
As long as he could help her, he would not refuse.
Lu Xinran pursed her lips and hummed awkwardly, thinking about what the system had said about the person in front of her being not the image in the book at all. She had also been complaining in her mind that he was a pervert, and the sense of guilt in her heart became even stronger.
"You, if you need my help with anything, you must tell me."
She left in a hurry after saying this. Song Junyan looked at her hurried back, the smile on his lips growing deeper and deeper.
She just said that she had misunderstood him before. Isn't he actually a pervert?
Thinking that he would finally have nothing to do with these two words in the future, he sat back at the desk in a very good mood. When he picked up the book, he seemed to still see the blush on someone's cheek when he left in a hurry.
After Lu Xinran returned, she was eagerly waiting for news. After reading her letter, would Lu Xinlan choose to return to Yuchengguan?
This capital city will soon become a pool of muddy water, there is no need for her to get involved.
On July 22, the Empress arrived in the capital with her army.
After recovering Yucheng Pass and defeating Chahar's alliance, the emperor always rewarded the soldiers who followed the army for this great victory.
Everyone thought that the emperor would lead all the civil and military officials out of the city to welcome him. Not to mention the great victory in this battle, the fact that the leading general was the empress of the dynasty was enough to deserve such special treatment.
But what surprised everyone was that the emperor did not say a word about this. He only let the army rest outside the city and march into the city early the next morning.
When Lu Xinran heard the news, he almost couldn't help cursing at the dog emperor.
What a fighter among garbage!
It is truly a misfortune for the people that such a person is the emperor.
No, she had to urge Song Junyan not to wait patiently for the emperor to die. If possible, it would be better for them to seize power as soon as possible.
Otherwise, she was afraid that the emperor would become incompetent one day and hand over the country to others.
The army was resting outside, and the empress, as a personal general, naturally had to enter the city with the army, but Lu Xinlan did not need to be bound by this.
She bid farewell to the queen that night, rode into the city in an inconspicuous carriage, and then returned to the Lu family.
It was not until she appeared outside the side door that Pei and others were surprised and rushed to the side door.
"Why didn't you tell me you came back? We could have sent someone to pick you up."
Pei excitedly took her hand and looked her up and down carefully.
He was thinner, and his skin was a little darker than before, but his complexion was excellent, especially his eyes, which had a new spirit than before.
Lu Xinlan smiled and let everyone look at him, "I can come back by myself, why should I bother grandma? It's not a big deal."
"How can this not be a big deal? You didn't come back with the second girl before. Grandma missed you so much."
Pei held her hand, and the more she looked at her, the more distressed she felt: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back, come on, let's go back to the house and sit down and talk slowly."
When Lu Xinran received the news, the group had already entered Zhaoyun Courtyard. She was anxious, wondering whether Lu Xinlan had not received her letter or had encountered some accident, and had come back like this.
She hurried to Zhaoyun Courtyard, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw a familiar figure through the window.
"elder sister!"
She trotted in and stood straight in front of Lu Xinlan.
"you……"
She wanted to ask you why you came back, but there were so many people around and she didn't know how to start the conversation. She could only stare at you.
Lu Xinlan stood up and reached out to pull her up, then took out a handkerchief from his arms and pressed it against her forehead.
"Why are you in such a hurry to come here? I have always been here."
Lu Xinran took the handkerchief and rubbed it across his forehead a few times, "Didn't you receive the letter I sent to you?"
"received."
Knowing what she was going to ask, Lu Xinlan gave her a look that said he would talk about it later: "The queen will be marching into the city tomorrow in a procession outside the city. We must go and see the excitement."
There will be a celebratory dinner in the palace in the evening, and all the officials in the capital will have to go to the palace to participate.
Lu Xinran responded twice and looked at her a little confused, not knowing what she meant by saying this.
Lu Xinlan smiled but said nothing. He looked around the room and then realized that Zhao had not appeared.
"Grandma, mother...is she sick?"
Otherwise, why wouldn't Zhao show up when she returned to Beijing?
Pei shook her head, not wanting to mention this annoying daughter-in-law at all.
"She has been recuperating in the courtyard for a while now, so it's not advisable for her to go out too much. You can go to her courtyard to see her later."
