"I went to the Third Princess's Mansion earlier and saw that the Third Princess's foot injury was serious. I'm afraid she will have to stay in bed for seven days." When Lu Changzhou said this, his tone was unconsciously stained with anger. He felt that Fu Yunxi's actions today were too much.
"Are you done?" Fu Yunxi's tone was very calm, and it was obvious that she didn't hear what he said.
Lu Changzhou originally wanted to criticize Fu Yunxi and hoped to hear her promise to behave herself next time, but he didn't expect to be stumped by her question.
After Fu Yunxi stood up, she naturally carried the majesty of a princess. Although her voice was calm, one could hear the anger within. "Since you call yourself a humble official, you should know your position. What you are doing now is insubordination."
This was the first time that Fu Yunxi scolded him like this. Lu Changzhou thought that she was jealous because he cared about Zhong Nanyiyi.
"Even though you are the eldest princess, the third princess is your sister. If what you did today were to be known by others, and they were to report you to His Majesty, wouldn't that be more trouble than gain?" Lu Changzhou spoke more gently this time, as if he really cared about her.
Fu Yunxi also found it funny. Lu Changzhou always used the court's etiquette to justify himself, and he always looked so serious. He must have a book of etiquette in his head.
The original body really liked Lu Changzhou. Only the original body could tolerate someone who was even more dull than a book for so long.
"Last time, weren't you all convinced that I wanted to slap Zhong Nanyi in the face, which is why I fell and hit my forehead?" Fu Yunxi said, "Since you're all convinced, I'll naturally oblige you."
Lu Changzhou then remembered what happened a few days ago. In fact, he didn't know the truth of the matter last time.
It’s just that Zhong Nanyiyi has always been weak, and the eldest princess’ attitude is always wrong when she sees Zhong Nanyiyi, so when Lu Changzhou heard what Zhong Nanyiyi said, he thought it was true.
Until now, he didn't know who to believe, so Lu Changzhou prepared to leave.
"I have already handed Yudie to the palace. This is the divorce letter. From today on, you are no longer my husband's wife." Fu Yunxi took out the divorce letter and handed it over.
Lu Changzhou didn't expect to hear the word "divorce". Although he didn't like the original body at first and felt that she forced him, out of his male pride, Lu Changzhou wanted to leave the princess's mansion as soon as possible.
But now he has become accustomed to everything in the princess's mansion. Fu Yunxi actually wants to give her a divorce letter, which Lu Changzhou cannot accept at all.
"What exactly do you want to do? If you want to compete with the third princess, there is no need at all." This time, Lu Changzhou even forgot his usual etiquette and questioned directly.
If the ministers who served in the same dynasty with Lu Changzhou in the past saw him in this state, they would probably find it hard to believe.
"Hasn't the prince consort always wanted to serve the court? Now that I have set you free, Lord Lu can go and show his talents." Fu Yunxi also felt that Lu Changzhou was thinking in his head. He felt suffocated staying in the princess's mansion, and now he felt suffocated to leave.
Why did the original body target Zhong Nanyiyi? It was because he often saw the two of them calling each other "senior brother and junior sister", and they had similar interests, so the original body couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.
But this is also Zhong Nanyiyi's cleverness. She and Lu Changzhou both studied under the same teacher, so she naturally understood his character better and knew how to make Zhong Yunxi angry.
Lu Changzhou couldn't argue with Fu Yunxi now, but he didn't want to accept the divorce letter just like that, so after taking it, he tore it up directly.
Fu Yunxi also thought the man was childish and ridiculous, but she didn't care about him. After all, she was the one who made her suffer, so she would definitely divorce this man.
If Lu Changzhou is willing to stay in the princess's mansion, then he can stay.
After all, there is Zhong Nanyiyi who is always making trouble. If Lu Changzhou was not in her house, Zhong Nanyiyi would not have come to her on his own initiative.
Seeing that Fu Yunxi did not react, Lu Changzhou thought that she still had feelings for him, so he calmed down a lot and returned to the courtyard where he usually lived.
The two of them sleep in separate rooms anyway, so naturally there won't be any impact.
When Lu Changzhou went to take up his post the next day, he happened to see other people gathered together.
The Ministry of Rites had a lot of things to do, and Lu Changzhou didn't care about it. He just wanted to take care of other things, but the officials who were familiar with him seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Sir Li, just say whatever you want to say." Lu Changzhou wanted to do other things, so he asked directly.
"Lord Lu, what's going on between you and the princess?" Lord Li saw that Lu Changzhou's expression had not changed at all, so he thought it was just a rumor and asked to calm himself down.
"What's going on?" Lu Changzhou frowned and asked, thinking of what Fu Yunxi said yesterday.
"They all say that your name has been crossed out from the royal jade butterfly. We heard this from the Minister of Rites." Lord Li also thought this rumor was outrageous.
After all, even they could see the eldest princess's love for Lu Changzhou.
Even if Lu Changzhou wanted to divorce, there was nothing he could do if the princess disagreed.
Lu Changzhou's heart skipped a beat. Although he heard Fu Yunxi's words yesterday, he thought she was just trying to scare him.
Little did he know that the Ministry of Rites had already been notified. His expression darkened, and he didn't even feel the pain when his fingernails dug into his flesh.
Lu Changzhou stopped talking to Lord Li and instead pushed open the door of the Minister of Rites.
When the Minister of Rites saw Lu Changzhou come in, a smile appeared on his face.
In his mind, Lu Changzhou is a man of great talent, and he can even be the prime minister.
If he had not married the princess, he would not have come to the Ministry of Rites, which has no power.
Although the Minister of Rites felt a little uncomfortable, he was still reluctant to let Lu Changzhou go now that he was no longer the son-in-law of the emperor and would definitely leave the Ministry of Rites.
Little did she know that Lu Changzhou's face didn't show any joy at all, but instead looked in a bad mood.
The Minister of Rites was completely baffled. Before he could even open his mouth, Lu Changzhou warned him, "The Princess is just angry with me. Please keep this secret for me."
After Lu Changzhou gave these instructions, he left and went about his own business seriously.
The Minister of Rites was also unsure of Lu Changzhou's intentions, and was prepared to act according to his wishes first.
After all, the eldest princess seemed to be acting impulsively, but even if she could hide it from others, she could not hide it from the emperor.
So when the emperor knew that his sister had actually divorced her husband, he was a little surprised for a moment.
But in his heart, he would feel more comfortable if his eldest sister was not happy.
Lu Changzhou was the top scholar chosen by him, but Fu Yunxi, because of the blank imperial edict from the previous emperor, directly made Lu Changzhou the son-in-law of the emperor.
The emperor felt unhappy when he thought of this matter.
