Chapter 106 Praising You
The next day when he went to court, Lu Sui was in high spirits.
When the emperor saw this, he couldn't help but ask, "Lord Lu, do you have any great news today?"
Lu Sui bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, the temperature was just right last night, and I had a good sleep."
"Is this something you should be happy about?"
"Yes, I have never had good sleep. A good night's sleep is enough to make me happy."
The emperor naturally believed it.
Duan Yanzhou, who was standing in the third row, glanced at Lu Sui and chuckled in his heart, "This big-tailed wolf is quite good at pretending. What do you mean by having a good sleep? It's obvious that he's in a good mood only after coaxing little Yaoyao into giving him a good night's sleep, right?"
Ultimately, it's all his credit.
I'm going to blackmail him later.
The morning court ended and we came out of the main hall.
Lu Sui and Duan Yanzhou were walking together, talking as they walked. They went down the steps in front of the hall and were heading out of the palace gate when the prince caught up with them.
"Grandmaster..."
The two stopped and looked at the approaching prince, bowed first,
The prince waved his hand and then looked at Lu Sui: "I went to the Taifu Mansion yesterday, and the people there said that you were busy and didn't return. What has the Taifu been busy with these days?"
He looked at Lu Sui with a half-smile, his eyes full of inquiry.
Ever since he was placed under house arrest by his father last time, Lu Sui began to distance himself from him. Although he did not do it obviously, the prince wanted to see him several times, but he politely refused.
Even though he was slow, the prince sensed it.
Lu Sui wanted to let go and was unwilling to help him anymore.
When the prince thought of this possibility, he became a little panicked.
His biggest backer is the Yuan family of the Grand Marshal's Mansion. That is his maternal grandfather's family and he is connected by blood. They prosper and suffer together and cannot be separated. Naturally, he is worried.
Then there is Lu Sui. Ever since he was made the crown prince by his father, Lu Sui has always stood on his side.
The prince knew that this was not Lu Sui’s choice, but his father asked him to do so.
The emperor loves his mother, and he loves his mother and everyone in her, including him.
My father sincerely hopes that this great cause and empire can be carried forward in his hands, but since I was placed under house arrest by my father, everything seems to have changed.
His father no longer trusted and loved him as much as before. Although the Grand Marshal's Office didn't say anything, they secretly advised his mother several times to be careful with her words and actions, to behave properly, and not to make any mistakes.
Looking at Lu Sui again… He was originally a cold person, but the relationship with him had always been good. However, in recent times, the other party’s obvious alienation made the prince alert.
Could it be that he...
Thinking of this possibility, the prince felt a chill in his heart.
Although Lu Sui is young, he is resourceful. There are many things that he can't figure out, but a single word from the other party can make him see the light.
But what he didn't know was that those who fight for power need such strategists, but strategists also need wise and powerful masters.
Let’s talk about Lu Sui, facing the prince’s temptation.
He curled his lips slightly, his voice as usual light.
"After finishing my shift yesterday, I went out for a drink with Lord Duan. It was already late when I returned home." He then added, "The Crown Prince wanted to see me, so why didn't you send someone to notify me in advance? I could have waited for you at home."
The prince looked at Duan Yanzhou.
Duan Yanzhou smiled and said, "Your Highness, he didn't want to drink at first, but I insisted on making him drink a few cups. You know, he can't drink much. I didn't even have enough yesterday."
The prince laughed out loud when he heard this.
"If you want to drink in the future, why not come to me? How about I accompany you?"
Duan Yanzhou looked terrified: "How dare I?"
The three of them chatted casually for a while and then parted ways.
Lu Sui and Duan Yanzhou walked out of the palace gate. Before getting into the car, Duan Yanzhou suddenly asked him, "Did you coax Xiao Yaoyao?"
Lu Sui glanced at him, ignored him, and got into the carriage.
"Tsk, you're such a heartless person! If it weren't for me yesterday, Bai Shaochuan would have ruined your plans." He walked to the car window and knocked on it. "Why don't you buy me another drink?"
A man's deep voice came from inside the car.
"No time."
Duan Yanzhou was about to say something when Qingshu beside him said with a grin, "Master Duan, my master has to go back to check the account books. How can he have time to drink with you every day?"
He added another sentence after he finished speaking.
"You are too attached to my grandfather. My grandfather is different from you now. He has a daughter."
When Duan Yanzhou heard this, he was so angry that he put his hands on his hips.
"Is it so great that your master has a daughter?"
"Well, why don't you find one too?"
"Look for it, who doesn't have that ability?" He jumped on the horse, looking confident, "From head to toe, how am I inferior to your master? There are many girls who like him, but there are also many who like me."
After saying this, he rode away.
Lu Sui returned to the Taifu Mansion and had just finished dinner when someone came to the old house.
The one who came was the steward of the Duke's Mansion.
"Next month on the 20th is the Duke's sixty-sixth birthday. This morning, the Old Madam mentioned this to the Second Madam. The Second Madam was unsure and asked me to ask your opinion."
Lu Sui sat in front of the tea table.
He fiddled with the tea set on the table and said slowly, "What does father mean?"
"According to the Duke, he doesn't want a grand celebration. He'd rather have a simple family dinner together like he does every year," the butler continued. "But the old lady wants to say that since he hasn't celebrated his sixtieth birthday yet, he should celebrate his sixtieth. Coincidentally, the Third Young Master has returned this year, so it would be a good omen for the whole family to gather together to celebrate the old man's birthday."
Lu Sui nodded.
"Then let's do as Mother wishes."
"Second sister-in-law is now in charge of the family, but this is her first time hosting a birthday party like this. Please help her."
The butler was terrified.
"You're too kind. This is all within my responsibility, and I will do my best." He paused, then asked, "As for the guest list..."
"I'll send someone over in a few days."
"yes."
After the housekeeper left, Qingshu came in with the account book in his hand.
"The girl sent someone to deliver it early this morning. It's the same book she sent a few days ago." Qingshu said with a smile.
Lu Sui took it and flipped through it casually.
The account book is well made, the handwriting is neat, and every number is clear between the lines.
He took the account book, got up and went to the study.
He asked Qingshu to grind ink, and he wrote a few words on the last page of the account book, and then handed it to Qingshu.
"Send it to her tomorrow morning."
The next morning, as soon as Jiang Yueyao arrived at Wanhe Tower, Qingshu came in.
When he saw her, Qingshu's eyes were filled with smiles.
"Good morning, young lady. I greet you."
Jiang Yueyao shuddered all over and couldn't help but take two steps back.
"What do you want to do so early in the morning?"
Qingshu hurriedly handed over the account book in his hand: "What else can I do? Of course I brought this to you."
Jiang Yueyao took the account book and asked, "Have you finished reading it, sir? Are there any mistakes?"
"Of course it's correct. My master even praised you, young lady."
When Jiang Yueyao heard that she was being praised, she became interested.
"What are you praising me for? Tell me quickly."
Qingshu pointed to the account book and smiled secretly: "It's all written at the back."
"Take your time to look around. I'm leaving first."
