298, the best arrangement
298, the best arrangement
"Whose family is she from? What's her name? How old is she?" Princess Ding thought that the girl her eldest son liked was a girl of ordinary family, so she didn't dare to bring her back for her mother to see, and only dared to buy a house outside to accommodate her.
Since it was the person her eldest son liked, it was difficult for her as a mother to stop him. Prince Ding's Mansion was so big, she could just have someone clean up a yard and put the girl in there. This would satisfy her eldest son's wish without affecting the relationship between mother and son.
"Since she is the one you admire, find some time to bring her back to meet A Niang. If her appearance and character are acceptable, you can marry her as your concubine."
"Among the girls who are visiting our house today, I think the third girl from the prefect's family has good looks and good character, and can be a good candidate for your wife. If you agree, I will send someone to the prefect's house to propose marriage and set the date as soon as possible. When your wife comes home, you can marry the girl you like, which will be a double blessing." Princess Ding thought that by doing this, she was giving her eldest son the best arrangement.
However, when Zhao Lang heard his mother's words and plans, he found them ridiculous.
He looked at his mother, who seemed to have arranged everything for him, and asked, "Mom, have you ever asked me if I like Miss Li San?"
"She comes from a prominent family and is the eldest daughter of the family. She is the most suitable candidate to be your legal wife. If you don't marry Miss Li San as your legal wife, do you want to marry a woman from a lesser family as your legal wife?"
“Don’t forget, you are the prince of Prince Ding’s Mansion. The person who will accompany you in the future must be a girl from a noble family. Otherwise, if you find a girl from a small family to take her out, others will laugh at our Prince Ding’s Mansion.” Princess Ding felt that her eldest son did not understand her painstaking efforts and insisted on marrying a girl from a small family.
"Mother, I think you've misunderstood. I have no plans to marry or take a concubine right now." Zhao Lang no longer wanted to sit here and listen to his mother's words. He stood up from his chair and bowed to his mother, who was sitting in the upper seat. "Mother, if you have nothing else to say, I will take my leave."
"Hey, stop right there!" Princess Ding couldn't even maintain her outward gentleness. She angrily asked her stubborn eldest son, "Why won't you marry Miss Li San? She's such a good girl. Do you think it's unfair to marry her to you?"
Hearing this, Zhao Lang curled his lips into a smile and said, "Mother, I don't think the Li family is anything special. They're just a run-down marquisate. The daughter of a fourth-rank official wants to marry my prince Ding?"
"Then tell me, what kind of girl do you want to marry? What kind of girl is worthy of you?" Princess Ding was really angry this time.
"I like it." After saying this, Zhao Lang walked away without waiting for his mother to react.
"You..." Princess Ding looked at her eldest son's departing back and opened her mouth to call out, but the person had already walked away.
Nanny Li, who was outside, heard the door open and looked up to see that it was their prince coming out. She quickly bowed her head and said, "Goodbye, prince."
"Take good care of your mother." Zhao Lang paused at the door, glanced at the old man who had served his mother the longest, and then looked at the servant waiting for him at the door.
"It's what I should do." Nanny Li responded quickly.
Receiving the look from their prince, Qingzhu understood and hurriedly took out a purse from her bosom and handed it to their prince.
Zhao Lang signaled the servant to give the purse to Li Ma, and left without saying anything.
Nanny Li kept the words of refusal in her mouth but did not say them. Seeing that their prince had already left, she could only bow to his back and thank him, "Thank you, prince."
Zhao Lang, who had already walked far away, did not look back.
Qingzhu hurriedly caught up with their prince, and the figures of the master and servant quickly disappeared at the corner of the courtyard's gate.
After watching their prince leave, Nanny Li entered the room. Seeing their princess sitting there with a sullen look on her face, she walked over, saluted, and called out, "Princess."
"Mammy, do you think Lang'er is no longer close to me, his mother?" Princess Ding wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and asked the old servant who had followed her for many years.
"How could that be? Master, you are the prince's biological mother. If he is not close to you, who else can he be close to?" Nanny Li walked behind the master, massaged the master's shoulders, and comforted the depressed master.
"Today is my birthday, and he left me, his mother, and ran out. When I came back and asked him who he had met, he looked unhappy. What's wrong with the girl from the Li family? He just likes those questionable women outside and refuses to marry Miss Li San. I am his mother, how can I harm him?"
"Master, this matter of marrying a wife should be based on mutual consent. Since the prince doesn't like Miss Li San, we don't have to rush. Let's help him look for other girls. Maybe we can find one that he likes."
After hearing what her master said, Nanny Li knew why her master was unhappy today.
Zhao Lang, who had already returned to the courtyard where he lived, had no idea that his mother was still chatting about him with the nanny beside her.
When he came back and looked at the empty house, and knew that Lord Lu lived in a house not far from the palace, he felt a little uncomfortable staying in his own house.
After entering the house and changing into all black clothes, Zhao Lang came out and shouted to the corner where someone was hiding, "An San."
"I'm here."
A secret guard emerged from the darkness and knelt before their master.
"You stay in the mansion for me, I'm going out for a while." After saying this, Zhao Lang opened the door of the house and disappeared in the yard.
***
"who!"
Lu Mingfei was sleeping in a daze in the middle of the night. He woke up suddenly when he heard someone opening the door. He immediately took out the crossbow placed on the bedside.
"It's me, don't be afraid." Zhao Lang walked towards the bed. Seeing the young man sitting up, he reached out to touch his face and asked, "Did I scare you?"
"Why are you here?"
Lu Mingfei tilted his head to the side, avoiding the man's hand, and put the crossbow back to the bedside. Then he held Zhao Lang's hands with his own and asked, "Why are your hands so cold?"
"No, you'll be cold." Zhao Lang pulled his hand back and didn't let Lu Mingfei use his hand to warm him.
"I went back to see my mother, and then I thought about you being here, so I wanted to come and see you."
"Take off your shoes and come up. You won't be cold if you get into bed and warm up." Lu Mingfei motioned Zhao Lang to lie down on the bed with him.
Zhao Lang took off his shoes and clothes without hesitation and crawled into the warm bed where Lord Lu was sleeping. He even reached out and hugged the warm Lord Lu into his arms to keep him warm. Holding the familiar person in his arms, he felt that his heart, which had been wandering for a long time, finally settled down.
After Lu Mingfei found a comfortable position in Zhao Lang's arms, he asked him, "You just said that you went back to see your mother. Did your mother say anything to you? Why do you look a little unhappy?"
Zhao Lang sighed and said nothing. He didn't know whether to tell Lord Lu about the girl his family had found for him.
"Why are you sighing and not saying anything?" Lu Mingfei raised his hand to touch the prince's handsome face and asked with a smile.
Zhao Lang grabbed the hand that was groping his face and kissed it. After thinking it over for a moment, he said, "Today is my mother's birthday..."
"And then? Why do you just start and stop talking?"
Lu Mingfei raised his head and met Zhao Lang's gaze in the darkness. He had some guesses in his mind, "Is it your mother's birthday today? She invited many guests to her house, and there were many young and beautiful girls?"
"I won't marry them."
Zhao Lang hugged Lord Lu tightly in his arms, fearing that Lord Lu would leave if he was unhappy. He had not forgotten what Lu Mingfei had said to him before, nor had he forgotten what he had said, "I promised you that only you in this life is enough."
"I won't have anyone else except you."
Zhao Lang knew very well in his heart that if he really had an affair with a woman, Lu Mingfei would definitely leave him without a word. He couldn't afford the possibility of losing Lu Mingfei.
Although Lu Mingfei had known for a long time that Zhao Lang's family would definitely bring up and worry about his marriage when he returned to Beijun, when he found out that Zhao Lang's family had actually arranged a blind date for him, he still felt like, as expected, this thing had finally happened.
Since their fates are now tied together, he naturally doesn't want Zhao Lang to betray their feelings and promises and marry another woman.
But when it comes to love, you really love, and when you don't love, you really don't love anymore. It's not that Lu Mingfei doesn't trust Zhao Lang, but he doesn't really believe that a person's feelings can really last a lifetime.
"As long as you can keep your promise, I will not let you down." He held the young master's face and kissed him on the mouth. This was his promise.
As long as you don't let me down, I won't let you down. As long as you can fulfill your promise, I will devote my whole life to helping you reach the height you desire.
Zhao Lang's response was to grab the back of Lord Lu's neck when Lord Lu wanted to leave, deepening the kiss between them.
"Lu Mingfei, I, Zhao Lang, will never let you down in this life!"
"You trust me."
Meeting Zhao Lang's eyes, he saw deep affection and seriousness in them. Lu Mingfei knew that what Zhao Lang said at this moment must be true. He raised his hand to touch the corner of the man's eyes, and after a long while, he murmured "hmm".
You said you wouldn't betray me, so I believed you...
Zhao Lang, you provoked me first, you said you loved me, you said you would never let me down. Then you and I will be entangled together in this life, and we will never be separated until death!
