"Your Highness, His Majesty wishes to see a guest, we..."
“Tell my mother that I am tired and need to return to the palace first.”
"yes."
...
Lu Yulan hurriedly came out and saw Wei Guang looking anxious.
"What happened? Did they start fighting?"
Although Lu Yulan said that, she felt it was highly unlikely and that it was just a joke.
After all, there's Gu Luobing; it seems impossible for them to fight.
Wei Guang frowned. "More terrifying than a fight?"
Lu Yulan was a little nervous all of a sudden. Wei Guang stopped in his tracks as he looked at the entrance to the banquet hall.
"Sister Lan, take a deep breath and be prepared."
"kindness?"
What big deal could a blind date banquet possibly be? Wei Guang, who is usually fearless, is so cowardly.
"His Majesty has arrived?"
kindness!
"What did you say? Say it again."
Wei Guang was also somewhat puzzled. Why would a small matchmaking banquet attract His Majesty, who, although his uncle's wife, was essentially the ruler of this empire?
Therefore, he didn't actually have much involvement with the other party; most of the time, he avoided them unless absolutely necessary.
After all, meeting the Queen was a rather complicated affair.
"You heard me right, it's His Majesty."
Lu Yulan: ...
"Wei Guang, can I pretend to be sick and leave?"
She said she wasn't being cowardly, she just didn't want to deal with the power center of the empire. Sure enough, Xinglinhai was not a good place; every time she came here, there were always some unexpected things.
Wei Guang shook his head.
"Don't worry, His Majesty just came on a whim. He heard that he was having afternoon tea with Madam Bai and heard these things from her, so he came. After all, Chu Rui is not a new member of the Bai family. Perhaps Madam Bai wants His Majesty to grant you and Chu Rui a marriage!"
This is the result of a joint study by him, Minister Gu, and Professor He.
Lu Yulan found the conversation so full of flaws that she didn't even know where to begin criticizing it.
Does Your Majesty enjoy playing matchmaker?
Wei Guang thought about it and realized that there was indeed some truth to it; they often arranged marriages by imperial decree.
"Sister Lan, don't overthink it. You just did a great job, so it's okay for you to refuse."
"Let's not keep His Majesty waiting too long, let's go inside."
As he spoke, he took a step forward, and sure enough, the banquet hall doors opened.
Lu Yulan went inside.
Everyone was still there, though a little reserved. The people sitting at the table were arranged according to rank and status, with the Empress closest to her being Madam Bai, Gu Luobing, He Yu, and "General Lu".
The ones behind are all juniors.
As soon as Lu Yulan entered, she attracted everyone's attention. Fortunately, Lu Yulan still knew how to bow.
"No need for formalities. Today I am just an ordinary elder. Please sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Lu Yulan chose the furthest spot to sit down, with Lu Xiaoyan sitting next to her.
Perhaps sensing Lu Yulan's nervousness, he took her hand from under the table.
At this moment, Lu Yulan slowly raised her head and looked around.
The Empress was probably around forty years old, but she was extremely well-maintained and looked even younger than Gu Luobing and Madam Bai standing next to her.
Mainly, she exudes a peaceful aura and truly appears to be an elegant woman.
She's completely different from the empress figure Grandpa Lu and the others described.
"She is indeed a beautiful and young woman; no wonder she attracts so many outstanding young men!"
"I am nothing compared to Your Majesty's grace and charm; I merely possess a youthful face."
Lu Yulan appeared humble, trying to minimize her presence.
