Judging from the Empress's intentions, she insists on choosing herself. Perhaps she feels that with so many talented young men surrounding her, she is not worthy of such men's affections.
Or rather, her words weren't about Lu Shangjiang being a womanizer at all, but rather a reminder to herself not to become a playboy!
It must be said that Lu Yulan isn't always so bad-witted; she managed to guess a tiny bit of it correctly.
The Empress did indeed hear her name while chatting with Lady Bai. This woman, who had been stirring up trouble in the empire since last year, had easily captured the attention of everyone in the empire, which was indeed something that made her so disliked.
Especially since I have a pair of eyes that I really, really hate.
The long silence created a very oppressive atmosphere before the Queen's voice rang out again.
"Doesn't Miss Lu understand who her heart belongs to?"
"It's really a headache."
Lu Yulan pursed her lips and looked down at Lu Xiaoyan. What should she do now?
Lu Xiaoyan patted Lu Yulan's hand under the table, indicating that she could rest assured that he was here for her.
After speaking, he stood on the chair and looked at the Queen at eye level.
"In truth, Sister Lan will naturally take my thoughts into consideration when choosing General Lu. However, Your Majesty, please understand that General Lu does not like Sister Lan. Even if he chooses to remarry for my sake, I do not want to live in a family without affection."
"How about we re-engage, for a year? If there is no love left, Your Majesty, please grant me and Sister Lan the freedom to live without being bound by the empty title of marriage."
The Empress stared at Lu Xiaoyan for a long while before reluctantly revealing a tiny smile.
"As expected, they are young and impetuous. For the sake of the new life of the empire, let it be so."
With that, she got up and left, saying quietly, "She gave birth to a wonderful child."
...
call!
That scared me to death.
I can finally speak normally again! I've been holding it in for so long!
As expected of His Majesty, so capricious.
The group finally relaxed and leaned back against the table. Gu Luobing casually sipped her glass, looking at Lu Yulan with some concern.
If she had known she would catch the Empress's eye, she wouldn't have held such a grand banquet in Xinglinhai.
"Little Lan'er, are you alright?"
"If you don't..., I can go to His Majesty tomorrow to take it back."
After all, no decree was issued directly, and everyone here is a familiar face, so let's just treat it as a nightmare.
Lu Yulan shook her head. This must be the Empress's intention. Even if she had randomly chosen someone else, the Empress would still use the child as a reason to reappoint "General Lu".
Being tied up so suddenly is really unpleasant. Speaking of which, proposing to "myself" is really getting more and more impressive, Lu Xiaoyan.
Zeye smiled gently, "My poor brother, your first love ended so abruptly."
"Shut up, don't talk about Chu Rui."
"What? You like him?"
Chi Huo was speechless. He glared at Ze Ye, thinking that people with dirty minds can think of anything related to relationships.
They have a friendly brotherhood, thank you.
Gu Luobing continued speaking.
"General Lu, shouldn't you make a statement about this result? After all, you have won."
Then he stood up, walked steadily to Lu Yulan, and knelt down on one knee.
"I will take good care of you and our child."
Lu Yulan: ...
"I prefer taking action."
