After Jiang Huanwan woke up, she went straight to Jinxiu Palace.
Zhao Fangming was well-informed. Before she could even say a word, he angrily demanded, "Jiang Huanwan, you bitch! You slept with another man last night! You actually cheated on me. Not only did you have an affair with that guy named Bai Lin, you even gave him the position of Chang Shi (Constant Chamberlain). I think this world has really driven you crazy."
Jiang Huanwan raised her hand and slapped Zhao Fangming. "Don't call me Jiang Huanwan. My current identity is Crown Princess Ling Shumo. The name Jiang Huanwan makes me feel sick."
Ling Shumo smiled sarcastically, "Jiang Huanwan's 'Huan' is taken from 'Jiang Huan', which describes a woman who is quiet and beautiful. 'Wan' is easier to understand. This word expresses the hope that a woman will be gentle, virtuous, dignified and generous.
I used to think this name was strange, but now I think it really has a sinister intention. No wonder it makes me so sick."
Ling Shumo gently patted Zhao Fangming's swollen cheek, a smile welling up in her eyes, "I don't like the name Zhao Fangming either.
The real name of Princess Qin Wen'er is an excellent name. "Wen'er" is taken from the word "gentle and elegant", which requires a man to treat his wife with humility and gentleness, and to behave elegantly in daily social interactions.
I think this name suits you very well."
Zhao Fangming's eyes were filled with rage. "What a bullshit politeness! I'm not going to change my name. I only have this one name, Zhao Fangming."
Ling Shumo sneered, "You have no right to object to the name."
…
Lu Mansion.
Lu Jinan, the eldest son of the Grand Tutor, looked annoyed. He threw everything he saw to the ground. The shattered porcelain pieces were so dense that there was no room for anyone to step on.
Lu Jinan looked at her father, feeling extremely aggrieved. "I don't want to marry into the Eastern Palace. The Crown Princess only has Qin Wen'er in her heart, and everyone in the capital knows what kind of personality Qin Wen'er has. The title of Crown Princess Consort sounds nice, but if I really marry her, I will only be bullied every day."
Lu Jinan lowered his voice when he said this. "The most important thing is that the Princess Royal is acting ridiculously. Of the ten tasks His Majesty gave her, she failed nine of them. It's unclear how long she can hold the position of Princess Royal..."
Before Lu Jinan could finish his words, his father, Taifu Xifu (Xifu can be understood as Madam), interrupted him with a stern voice, "Be careful, walls have ears. If outsiders hear your rebellious remarks, not only will you lose your head, but the entire Lu family will be buried with you for your mistake."
After being scolded by the Grand Tutor, Lu Jinan felt even more wronged. He said unreasonably, "Anyway, I just won't marry you. If you don't help me find a solution, I'll just kill myself."
Grand Tutor Jinfu looked at her beloved eldest son and her expression softened. "Don't worry about this matter. Your mother and I couldn't bear to see you suffer in the Eastern Palace, so we've already arranged a replacement for you."
"Marrying in place of someone else?" Lu Jin'an seemed to have suddenly thought of something, a look of joy in her eyes. "Yes, how could I have forgotten? My good brother Lu Jinshu has been recuperating at the farm outside Beijing. He's been recovering from his illness for so long, it's time to bring him back."
While the father and son were talking, the door was pushed open with a creaky sound, and a man in coarse linen clothes was led in by the servants.
This man was none other than Lu Jinshu, Lu Jinan's younger brother who was born of the same mother.
When Taifu's wife gave birth to twins, a Taoist priest said that one of them was the reincarnation of a disaster star.
Lu Jinshu, who was born later, was considered a jinx and was sent to the countryside to recuperate shortly after his birth.
To put it nicely, he was recuperating, but in fact, the people of the Lu family simply wanted him to fend for himself.
Taifu's wife looked at her little son with disgust in her eyes. "You evil creature, who allowed you to stand and listen to us? Kneel down quickly. People raised in the countryside are really uncouth and have no manners at all."
Lu Jinshu was frightened by his father's sudden scolding and trembled slightly. He looked at the broken porcelain pieces scattered all over the ground. Before he could make a decision, the servant who brought him in pushed him to his knees on the ground.
The feeling of broken porcelain pieces piercing the flesh was obviously not pleasant. As the smell of blood filled the air, Lu Jinshu's face, which was already pale to begin with, turned even paler.
Taifu looked down at Lu Jinshu from a high position, "Listen carefully, from now on, your name will be officially changed to Lu Jinan. You are the eldest son of the Lu family and the future concubine of the crown princess.
When you arrive at the Eastern Palace, you must serve Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess well and never bring any harm to our Lu family.
If you fail to serve His Highness well and make him angry, your family will not speak up for you."
Seeing that Lu Jinshu had no reaction at all, Taifu's wife raised her voice, "Lu Jinshu, are you mute? You can't even say a nice word."
The stinging pain in his knee made Lu Jinshu frown, and he couldn't concentrate at all and listen to what the Grand Tutor said.
Now, after being yelled at like that, he finally came to his senses.
Lu Jinshu raised his head to look at Taifu Xinfu, who pointed to his throat and shook his head.
This time it was Grand Tutor Jinfu who was stunned. "What do you mean? Have you really become mute?"
Lu Jinshu nodded.
Taifu Xifu and Lu Jinan looked at each other.
Lu Jinshu lowered his eyes.
His voice used to be very pleasant, but when he was ten years old, he caught a cold and had a high fever.
Zhuangzi's servants refused to give him medicine, so he relied on his own body to overcome the illness.
