Chapter 291 Hurry up and harm others
Lu Xinran listened to her talking about what happened in the Tang Mansion during this period, and when she mentioned that Tang Chongli was standing in front of her responsibly, he couldn't help but raise his thumb.
"I knew you were blessed. Your brother-in-law treats you so well."
This would make her very satisfied with Tang Chongli's actions, and she would call him brother-in-law instead of calling him by his name.
Lu Xinlan smiled with a hint of satisfaction. Her current life was within her expectations.
She just needs to wait for Tang Chongli to pass the imperial examination in the next exam, and when he enters the Dali Temple, she can pick up her "old business" from her previous life.
Life will be more interesting.
This day is not far away, and she has the patience to wait for this goal.
Zhao didn't come until nightfall, and she didn't ask the servants to deliver the fire avoidance map that she was supposed to bring.
Pei had been keeping an eye on what was happening over there with Zhao. Seeing her like this, she could only shake her head and sigh, and asked Nanny Xu to pass over the fire avoidance map that she had prepared.
When Nanny Xu arrived, the two sisters had already entered the inner room and were preparing to go to bed.
Seeing the familiar lacquered wooden box, Lu Xinran took it with a giggle, without any shyness as a woman.
Her behavior made Aunt Xu feel a little uncomfortable. She said hesitantly, "Remember to take a good look tonight," and left quickly.
Lu Xinran laughed as he opened the box and took out the fire avoidance map that was rolled up in the middle.
"This looks better than the one Zhao gave you."
She unfolded the fire avoidance map and commented on it with great interest.
Lu Xinlan, who has become an experienced person, also came over and looked at it curiously: "The fine brushwork is much better than the previous volume, and the characters are much more vivid."
But no matter how vivid it is, compared to a living person...it still looks a little inferior.
Especially since all the characters were equally plump, people would not feel any desire or shyness towards them.
"What do you think? Let's find an artist and ask them to improve this fire-avoidance map. Can it become a good way to make money?"
Lu Xinlan was speechless. "If people knew that the Princess of Wei gave the painter advice to redraw the fire avoidance map, what do you think would be the result?"
Lu Xinran: “…”
The result was definitely not what she imagined.
After handing the things to Cuizhu, the two of them went to bed and talked in private for a while before going to sleep.
Lu Xinran always felt that as soon as she closed her eyes, Cuizhu called her in her ear to get up.
She rubbed her eyes reluctantly and sat up. She asked the time and found that it was only three o'clock in the morning. She slipped and wanted to fall back to sleep for a while.
"Girl, you should take a shower and change your clothes. You can't sleep any longer, or you will be too late."
The man she was marrying was a prince, and there were still many procedures to go through that day that could not be delayed.
She sat up reluctantly again, and let several people torment her like a puppet who had lost its soul.
Bathing, changing clothes, putting on makeup...
Liu looked at Lu Xinran who was yawning non-stop, and she didn't know whether she should put down the comb in her hand.
Originally, she felt very honored to be the wife of Princess Wei, but when she thought that Lu Xinlan would not give birth to a child for two years, she felt upset.
Who knows what the situation will be like in two years? What if, what if that guy's body is not easy to conceive? If she fails to get pregnant in two years, won't she be laughed at by those gossipy ladies?
She was feeling depressed, but when she met the sudden look from Lu Xinran in the bronze mirror, she still had to force a smile.
Lu Xinran wanted to say a few good words for her sister, but as an outsider, she couldn't interfere too much in such matters, so she just looked away silently.
Song Junyan also got up before dawn, and the officials from the Ministry of Rites and the eunuchs who served him helped him wash and change his clothes.
Half of the wedding procession was prepared by the Ministry of Rites, and the remaining half was made up of people from the palace and his close friends.
He learned at the beginning of the year that the emperor intended to marry Lu Xinran to him, and now they are about to become an official couple.
Looking back over the past year, it seemed like nothing had happened between them, yet it also seemed like everything had happened.
He raised his hand and touched his chest casually, his heart leaping with joy.
He couldn't deny that he had never resisted the marriage since he first learned about it.
He had imagined all the reactions Lu Xinran would have after she found out she was going to marry him, and was prepared for the possibility that everyone would know he was a "pervert". He also imagined what he would do if she ran away from the marriage because of this.
He had thought of all the possibilities, except not wanting to marry her.
He raised his hand to straighten his collar, and listened to the people around him reminding him that he could go to meet the bride. He nodded slightly, tightened his face and restrained himself from laughing.
Lu Xinran was so hungry that her stomach was sticking to her back. Why didn’t anyone tell her that she should be hungry on her wedding day!
After being hungry for the entire day and still having to go through all the rituals, she was afraid that she would pass out from hunger during the wedding ceremony.
Lu Xinlan came up to her and secretly stuffed a bag of snacks into her hand.
"Hide this in your sleeve. I asked the kitchen to prepare this snack specially. You can eat it one by one without staining your makeup. However...you should still eat as little as possible. You won't be able to relieve yourself if you have to stay in the sedan chair all day."
Lu Xinran picked up the snack and stuffed a few pieces into her mouth. Getting married is really troublesome. No wonder you can only get married once in your lifetime!
"Here he comes. The groom is outside the mansion."
Someone in the yard was shouting loudly, and everyone in the room immediately became busy.
The bridesmaid hurried forward to cover her head with the veil. Cuizhu stood beside her nervously, ready to help her get up and go out.
Lu Xinran was once again like a puppet, being pulled by everyone and taken to the front hall, just like she did at Lu Xinlan's wedding, where she bid farewell to her parents.
She had no feelings for either Lu Kant or Zhao, especially Zhao, who was sitting here at this moment, feeling uncomfortable all over.
She looked at Lu Xinran kneeling in front of her, her mind went blank, and she didn't know what to say to her next.
She had been reunited with her daughter for just over a year, and during that time they had grown to dislike each other. She disliked her somewhat rude nature, and the girl disliked her partiality.
They seemed destined not to be ordinary mother and daughter.
Lu Kangde felt very complicated as he looked at Lu Xinran kneeling in front of him. This daughter...she turned the entire Lu family upside down as soon as she came back. Until now, his father could not stay in Zhaoyun Courtyard, and he and his mother became very distant.
As for his future, Lu Kangping has been surpassing him in every aspect over the past year. He can already feel his father's intentions, and he is afraid that the Lu family will be handed over to his second brother in the future.
He seemed to have gained nothing from this girl, and now that he was about to send her out, he felt inexplicably relieved.
Hurry up and get married, and go harm the King of Wei and the Emperor!
