Chapter 224 The Lady and the Guard
"My lord, why do you have a wife? Doesn't Prince Yu even have a concubine?" Qin Donglian asked.
She felt a little worried when she thought about her daughter's marriage.
"How should I know! He's a prince! What's so strange about having so many wives and concubines? Maybe he took them in from outside, but that's none of our business! Isn't it enough as long as the position of the principal wife is vacant?"
The people under the Marquis of Cheng'an have gotten into such a big trouble that they are already overwhelmed. Not to mention his daughter's marriage, just hearing Han Lang's sarcasm today, if the king hears it, his life will be in danger.
"Don't think about your useless thing for now. Go now and prepare the best gifts, including one for this lady. I will send it to apologize later. You come with me to see who the injured lady is." He instructed again.
"Yes, I'll prepare it right away." Qin Donglian replied.
Wei Zhuo had just gone to execute Chang Guanshi when he came back when a servant came to report that His Royal Highness Prince Yu did not stay and had already returned to the capital.
He thought for a moment at the door before going in to report.
"My lord, His Royal Highness Prince Yu has left." Wei Zhuo whispered.
"Now it's great. We can't even send gifts. If these bastards don't do anything bad, then we can..." Marquis Cheng'an said hatefully.
"I think it's because of the Queen Mother's illness that she is in a hurry to leave. In my opinion, it would be better if you change the gift you gave to Prince Yu into a gift for the Queen," Wei Zhuo suggested.
The fact that the queen was ill could not be concealed, but it was only announced to the public that she was ill, not seriously ill.
"Well, the Queen Mother is happy, and the marriage is settled." Marquis Cheng'an nodded.
"yes."
"Go and help me arrange it. It needs to be something unique. There's no need to take the ones that are in the Queen's palace. I'll have Madam and Yan Han deliver them when the time comes."
"yes."
"The gift from Prince Yu has to be delivered, and the sin must be repaid. By the way, go and check the origins of this lady."
"yes."
Wei Zhuo agreed and went out.
"Lord Wei, where are you going?" As soon as he left Marquis Cheng'an's room, he met Lu Yanhan and his sister Lu Yanying in the garden. Lu Yanhan called him.
"Miss, I just replied to the Marquis and was about to go see how the dinner was prepared." Wei Zhuo replied.
"You are diligent every day."
"I dare not call myself diligent."
"Let me ask you, you were close to him just now, so did you see what King Yu looked like?" Second Miss Lu Yanying asked in a low voice.
"Yanying! What are you asking for?"
"Hey, sister, I'm just curious. There's nothing wrong with asking! Lord Wei is not an outsider." Lu Yanying patted her sister's hand.
"Miss, I only took a quick glance and didn't get a clear look. His Royal Highness Prince Yu has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes..."
"How does he compare to our family's eldest son?" Lu Yanying hadn't finished yet.
"You are comparing me to my brother. How can I respond? If he answers that his brother is good, he offends King Yu. If he answers that King Yu is good, he offends my brother again." Lu Yanhan chuckled.
"What the eldest lady said is true. They all have their own merits, but Your Highness's appearance is impeccable. I will take a closer look at him later and draw a portrait for you two." Wei Zhuo bowed to the two of them and left.
Watching Wei Zhuo leave, Lu Yanhan raised an eyebrow and sneered, "I don't know if he's good-looking, but his character is definitely not that good. Although we are marquises of different surnames, it's really disrespectful that he didn't even get out of the carriage."
"That's right. Dad even rushed to the car to talk. Doesn't this mean that he is in a hurry to send his daughter away? Doesn't it mean that no one wants my sister?" Lu Yanying is a master at making innuendos.
"Of course, it's nothing compared to your marriage. I heard that the Prince of Nanyan has already married eight concubines. However, the position of the Prince's Wife is definitely reserved for you! If you go, you will be the mother of five children!"
Lu Yanhan was not to be outdone and also made fun of her sister.
"Oh, by the way, even if I don't get married, you have to wait. I wonder if I will become the mother of eight children by then! It's really great. Whether I have children or not, there will always be someone calling me mother."
Lu Yanying gritted her teeth and sneered, "Sister, you're not far behind! I just heard from the people below that His Royal Highness Prince Yu was furious because of that beautiful woman in the carriage! I don't know if you have a son who calls you mother, but you definitely have sisters."
Lu Yanhan had a cold face and said nothing, and returned to his room.
The more I thought about it, the angrier I became, and I didn't even come out to eat.
After nightfall, everyone in the inn went to sleep. Lu Yanhan sat on the bed in a daze until there was a gentle knock on the window.
She opened the window a crack, and a man jumped in from outside. It was his family's guard Lu Bin.
He asked with concern: "Why don't you have dinner? Are you not feeling well?"
Lu Yanhan shook her head. "She's just mad at Lu Yanying. She's always against me. She can't get through a day without teasing me."
"Why bother with her?" Lu Bin took out a bag of plum cakes from his arms and handed it to her.
"When I met Prince Yu today, he showed the same attitude. It was obvious that he looked down on our family and me. He simply trampled me into the mud. What should I do if I marry him in the future?" Lu Yanhan pushed the cake away and said hatefully.
"I would rather you never marry."
Lu Yanhan sneered, "Not marrying? Humph! Our Marquis' Mansion is already in trouble. We rely on the marriage of our two sisters to get something for the Prince. You make it sound so easy."
Lu Bin fell silent. The two had been together since childhood, childhood sweethearts, and had been together for a long time.
But both of them knew very well that it was impossible for them to be together.
"It's all my fault for being incompetent. If I had a position, how could I let you suffer like this? How could I let you marry someone else?"
"We've already agreed on this. There's no need to talk about it anymore. It can't be changed."
"Well, have some! This is the last batch I bought before closing. You won't be able to eat it when you return to Beijing tomorrow." Lu Bin still handed over the plum blossom cake in his hand.
Lu Yanhan chuckled and picked up a piece. Lu Bin brought tea and waited by the side.
"I've also heard of Prince Yu. It's said that in the tenth year of Zhaojing, he was very cruel. He once chopped a man into pieces in the street, and he even sat by and drank tea, waiting for the man to die. If you really marry him, you'd better be careful." Lu Bin said worriedly.
Han Lang in the carriage sneezed violently.
"They must be talking about you behind your back." Feng Aoqing smiled and held up a small mirror to look at her neck. The redness had faded.
"You don't tell me because you want to keep the window open? If you don't close it, I'll be blown crazy." Han Lang gave her a blank look.
He felt that all his eye rolls were directed at Feng Aoqing.
"Okay, blame me, just turn it off!" Feng Aoqing also felt a little cold.
"Your eldest daughter, the Marquis of Cheng'an, is in the car behind us. Why don't you take a look at her?"
"Feng Aoqing, that's enough!"
"Tsk, oh my, why do you jump up and down so easily? Come, let me take your pulse. Your liver is weak and your fire is excessive. Tomorrow I'll prescribe you some medicine to relieve your heat."
"Why don't you ask who is responsible for this evil fire of mine?"
