Chapter 296: Throwing Winks at the Blind
The secret guard left.
The secret guard really left this time.
He couldn't stand it anymore.
If I continue to act crazy like this with Lu Zhiheng, I will probably become a lunatic!
Lu Zhiheng didn't stop him, but just held the book in his hand and recalled what the secret guard had said before very seriously.
No!
Lu Zhiheng suddenly stood up.
Why would he consider what that idiot said!
He is really crazy, trying all kinds of treatments here!
…
Because Suisui is Cui Wan's apprentice, he comes to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion every day to practice the mysterious arts.
As Suisui's father, Lu Zhiheng naturally would not ignore his daughter.
After Sui Sui finished her studies, she spent half an hour playing with Su Tan.
As a father, Lu Zhiheng naturally watched his daughter and Su Tan playing together with a smile on his face.
This is nothing.
That’s right—everyone in the Duke’s Mansion felt a little embarrassed to watch.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen is usually quite normal, meaning he dresses normally.
But today...
No, I can’t say it’s today…
It's just recently.
Why has he been dressing up like a butterfly every day lately?
Sometimes it would be enough to just stay by the little princess' side all the time.
If he ever has to leave the Duke's Mansion, just wait, he can change into another set of clothes.
Once, the servants of the Su family were really curious, so they silently counted how many sets of clothes His Royal Highness Prince Chen changed in a day.
Good job!
Five sets!
This made Gu Mingzhu's mouth twitch slightly. One day, after Lu Zhiheng left, she couldn't help but whisper to Su Tan, "What's wrong with His Royal Highness Prince Chen these days? Why is he always dressed up like a butterfly and coming to our house?"
Gu Mingzhu is an experienced person.
I always feel that Lu Zhiheng might have fallen in love with one of the girls in their family.
Otherwise, what grown man would have nothing better to do than to indulge in dressing up all day long?
Five changes of clothes a day!
The corner of Gu Mingzhu's mouth twitched. His Royal Highness Prince Chen didn't even feel tired.
Su Tan: “…Is there?”
She was only focused on Sui Sui and devoted herself to practicing every day.
She had never noticed how many times Lu Zhiheng changed his clothes in one day.
Gu Mingzhu: “…”
Gu Mingzhu really didn't expect that after all Lu Zhiheng had done, there would be someone who didn't notice.
No wonder in the whole house, including the deceased parents-in-law, only Tan'er can practice the mysterious arts.
Only people who practice cultivation like them would not take these mundane matters to heart and pay no attention to them.
A vulgar person like her, seeing Lu Zhiheng dressed like a butterfly, tried to hold back for a long time, but in the end, she couldn't help but want to talk to others about it.
"I don't know which girl in our house His Royal Highness Prince Chen has fallen in love with. If she is like you, turning a deaf ear to what is happening outside, I'm afraid His Royal Highness Prince Chen will cry his heart out."
According to normal logic.
At this moment, Gu Mingzhu should perhaps guess whether Lu Zhiheng likes Cui Wan or Su Tan.
But Lu Zhiheng never acts according to common sense.
Originally, His Majesty wanted to arrange a marriage for Lu Zhiheng with a lady from a high-class family.
After all, in the eyes of the world, His Majesty's most beloved princes are the Crown Prince and Lu Zhiheng.
Who would have thought that when Lu Zhiheng came back from a trip, he would bring back a commoner girl and threaten to commit suicide if he didn't marry her as his principal wife.
There is nothing we can do even if Your Majesty doesn't recognize it.
First of all, he couldn't really watch Lu Zhiheng die.
After all, he was his most beloved son.
Secondly, Lu Zhiheng acted without authorization and when he brought her back, the girl was already pregnant.
If His Majesty really wanted to prevent these two from getting married, and even thought that the girl was trying to curry favor with the powerful and wanted to sentence her to death, then not to mention whether Lu Zhiheng, a rebellious and unruly person like him, would die with her.
I am afraid that the people of this world will also poke the backs of these royal people.
People originally thought that Lu Zhiheng's affection for the late princess would only last for a few days. Perhaps after the child was born, and the princess' figure became out of shape and her complexion aged, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen would definitely dislike her.
But who would have known that this princess was so pitiful. After risking her life to give birth to the little princess, she passed away at a young age.
All of a sudden, the voices of those who wanted to laugh at her turned into sighs of regret.
In recent years, Emperor Qinglong has also thought about letting Lu Zhiheng marry another princess.
But Lu Zhiheng was stubborn and said that she only wanted to take care of her daughter. She would drive out any rich girl who dared to come to Prince Chen's mansion.
Gu Mingzhu originally thought that Lu Zhiheng would be deeply in love with the late princess and remain loyal to her all his life. Unexpectedly, he now seems to have a girl he likes.
I just don't know who he admires.
According to Lu Zhiheng's personality, except for the widowed and married maids, any female in the mansion could be the object of Lu Zhiheng's admiration.
Gu Mingzhu sighed, "I don't know why he suddenly fell in love with her, but he has been loyal to the princess for three years, which shows his deep love and loyalty."
How could an ordinary man wait for three years?
Anyone who can get married after a year can be said to be a cold-hearted person.
Su Tan took a sip of tea. She was not interested in other people's marriages, but she didn't think Lu Zhiheng might be in love with any girl.
When he was in Yingzhou before, Lu Zhiheng worked so hard to raise more money that he even pawned his clothes. Sometimes he would be covered in dust and look unkempt all day long, and it was impossible to tell that he was a prince.
Those days lasted for a long time.
After a long time, the worries were finally resolved, the disaster and the remaining victims were under control, and Lu Zhiheng was able to change into clean clothes.
These luxurious clothes were worn after returning to Beijing.
“People always have a compensatory mentality towards themselves at a certain time.”
Su Tan analyzed calmly and rationally, "He's a noble prince who's lived through such a long period of hardship. He might have been so busy before that he never thought about it."
I suddenly thought about it these past few days, and it’s understandable that I started to frantically make up for myself during that period of time.
"not to mention……"
Su Tan paused and thought of Sui Sui. Sui Sui loved to laugh and make noises, and she dressed up like a butterfly every day, changing her clothes several times a day.
The little girl loves to be coquettish. When she sees a good-looking person or thing, the smile on her face will become even sweeter.
Every year is like the honey soaked in the flower stamens, fragrant, sweet and the most lovely.
"Since Sui Sui is here, perhaps Sui Sui would also require Your Highness to dress like this."
Gu Mingzhu then remembered that although Lu Zhiheng dressed up like a butterfly every day, the clothes he wore were similar in color to Suisui's.
Sometimes the fabric used to make clothes is the same.
Thinking about it this way, Gu Mingzhu suddenly felt that this was the truth.
After all, Lu Zhiheng is already married and has children.
If you fall in love with a girl again, just go to her house and propose to her.
Then you have to dress up like a butterfly and try to attract people clumsily.
This is clearly something a young boy who is just beginning to fall in love would do.
She raised her hand to support her forehead, but laughed at herself helplessly, "Look at me, what am I thinking? Seeing that someone changes clothes more frequently, I suspect that he has a girl he likes."
"I forgot that when Ming Ge'er was as old as Sui Sui, he always wanted to dress like his father and mother."
"Sometimes he makes his parents wear the same clothes as him."
Most children in this world are similar.
Ming'er, a boy, is like this. I'm afraid a little girl likes to dress the same as her parents even more than Ming'er.
It’s a pity that this child has no mother.
She could only ask her father to wear the same clothes as her.
Su Tan and Gu Mingzhu had the same idea. For a moment, Su Tan's heart felt inexplicably heavy.
She felt inexplicably depressed.
Ever since practicing the ruthless way, Su Tan believed that his mind had become much calmer, and he was no longer happy with material things, nor sad with himself.
But unexpectedly, when he suddenly thought of the time when he had never seen his biological mother since he was a child, Su Tan, who was always said to be cold and heartless, felt a little distressed.
Su Tan suddenly said, "I happen to be free these few days, I will make some clothes for Sui Sui."
Gu Mingzhu lowered her eyes. She knew that Su Tan had remembered something, but the two of them were tacitly aware of it.
She reached out and patted Su Tan on the back, saying gently, "Okay, when you have time, do some needlework. It's also good to kill time. I happen to be free these days, so I'll work with you."
Su Tan smiled at Gu Mingzhu, "Okay, thank you, second sister-in-law."
Gu Mingzhu looked at her helplessly, "We are all family, why are you saying these polite words?"
"Besides, Suisui is a lovable child. Not only do you like her, but I feel so bad for her too when I see her."
"I'll go look in the storeroom later to see if there's any satin suitable for a little girl."
