Chapter 344 What is this?
"Are you serious?" Qu's father and mother looked at him suspiciously.
"Guaranteed." Qu Fufeng patted his chest to guarantee.
"If you don't believe me, go ask the Emperor."
Qu's father and mother didn't dare to ask the emperor, so they could only believe what he said for the time being.
Qu Fufeng reminded: "So don't arrange any blind dates for me. If the emperor knew about it, he would be furious."
"I understand." Qu's mother replied hesitantly.
I turned around and decided to go to the palace tomorrow to ask my daughter whether this was true.
…
As soon as Lu Yanshi returned to the palace, the empress came to him with a memorial to report on the government affairs during that period.
Shufei and Lu Qi returned to their respective palaces, while Lu Qiongying and Lu Li took Lu Xuan to Weiyang Palace.
As soon as she entered the palace gate, she saw her third brother, sixth sister, seventh sister and eighth sister waiting for her.
"Ninth sister, welcome back to the palace."
Lu Heng stood at the front with a smile on his face, and opened his arms, waiting for Lu Li to jump into his arms.
"Third brother! I missed you so much!" Lu Li smiled and threw herself into his arms.
Just as Lu Li jumped into his arms, another voice was heard.
"Welcome the Ninth Princess back to the palace!"
Accompanied by a uniform welcome, the maids and eunuchs of the Weiyang Palace pulled the hand-held fireworks.
Colorful pieces of paper flew out of his mouth, and the banging sounds scared Lu Xuan, who was following behind him, so much that he jumped three feet high and landed on Lu Li.
Lu Heng was caught off guard and could not handle the weight of the two children, so he fell backwards.
"Third Prince, be careful."
The palace maids and eunuchs were startled and rushed over to catch them.
Fortunately, Lu Qiongying was extremely strong and very close to them. He rushed over and supported the three of them from behind.
This allowed all three of them to land safely.
The palace maids and eunuchs all breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the Fifth Princess is here, otherwise today's wedding would have been filled with blood.
If the Third Prince falls again, it might not be as simple as just breaking ribs.
After all, the Ninth Princess is still quite heavy now...
"Who are you? Why did you jump on me?" Lu Heng was a little unhappy.
He would not blame his sister, so he looked at Lu Xuan who suddenly jumped up angrily.
He was unable to go out of the city to greet Lu Li today, so he did not know Lu Xuan's identity.
"I didn't jump on you, I jumped on Ninth Sister." Lu Xuan looked at him puzzledly.
This little brother is so fierce.
He grabbed Lu Li's hand, feeling a little scared.
"Ninth sister? Who is he?" The seventh princess Lu Linlang who was standing aside asked doubtfully.
"His name is Lu Xuan. He was picked up by Xiaojiu. Father adopted him as his godson. From now on, he will be our younger brother." Lu Qiongying answered first.
Suddenly there was a younger brother, and everyone was a little confused.
"This is my third brother Lu Heng."
Lu Li took Lu Xuan's hand and introduced all the brothers and sisters one by one.
"This is my fifth sister, Lu Qiongying."
"This is my sixth sister, Lu Qionghua."
"This is my seventh sister, Lu Linlang."
"This is my eighth sister, Lu Xuanyi."
Lu Xuan looked at them curiously: "Fifth sister and sixth sister look alike."
"Of course, they are twins." Lu Li nodded.
"Okay, say hello to the brothers and sisters."
Lu Li now behaves like an older sister and is very serious in teaching her younger brother.
Lu Xuan greeted them obediently.
Although Lu Xuan looked a little dark, his well-behaved appearance still won the hearts of several people.
It was their first meeting, and as older brothers and sisters they had to have gifts, so everyone started taking things out of their pockets.
Lu Heng gave the mosquito repellent sachet he made to Lu Xuan, Lu Qiongying gave him the small dagger, Lu Qionghua gave away the small crossbow in her hand, and Lu Linlang was as wealthy as her mother, so she directly gave away the small gold nuggets in her purse.
Only Lu Xuanyi didn't prepare anything. The things she had with her were all for girls, and she didn't know what to give Lu Xuan.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she suddenly had an idea and passed the firework tube over.
"This is for you."
She didn't have enough strength at first, so she didn't pull it apart, and it's still intact.
If I give it to my younger brother Lu Xuan, he won’t mind rejecting it, right?
"What is this?" Lu Li was very curious.
She didn't have this thing before she left Beijing.
"It's called a firework tube," Lu Linlang answered quickly.
"My mother once asked Lord Qu if there was anything cheaper and safer than fireworks that could attract people's attention. Lord Qu then brought back this firework tube and wrote down a rough production method."
"It was researched by the Eighth Princess and the Mo family."
"Wow, the Eighth Princess is so amazing!" Lu Li widened her eyes.
"I just helped a little." Lu Xuanyi lowered her head a little embarrassedly.
"Just point it toward the sky and pull hard. There will be a loud bang, and the colorful pieces of paper will fly out."
She instructed Lu Li to pull the bell tube.
Lu Li didn't have enough strength to pull it open, so she handed the firework tube to Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan took it and pulled it open gently.
"Bang." There was a sound, and this time Lu Xuan was mentally prepared and was not scared.
"So magical, so amazing!"
Lu Li and Lu Xuan sighed at the same time.
"Do you want to play more? I bought a lot." Lu Linlang waved her hand, and the palace maid behind her carried out another whole basket.
"Wow! Seventh Princess is so generous!"
Several children played together.
After playing for a while, Lu Li called for a stop.
She distributed the firework tubes to them one by one.
"Let's go and see the Second Princess. She must have never seen this thing before." Lu Li suggested while holding up the firework tube.
"Will Second Princess think we are too naive?" Lu Heng was a little hesitant.
After all, the second princess is much older than them, she may not like these childish tricks.
"You don't understand. Girls, no matter what age, like surprises!" Lu Li snorted, pulling Lu Xuan's hand and running towards Fuhua Palace.
A few people had no choice but to follow.
Lu Li ran too slowly, and Lu Qiongying couldn't bear to watch her so she carried her on her back.
Lu Heng hesitated for a while, thinking that he was the only man present, and wondered whether he could carry Lu Xuan on his back, so that they could walk faster.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan ran to the front, faster than all of them.
Lu Heng: ...
He was overthinking it.
"Lu Xuan, wait, do you know which way to go?" Lu Li yelled while lying on the back of the fifth princess.
Lu Xuan then stopped and slammed on the brakes, following Lu Qiongying at a leisurely pace.
The others followed breathlessly.
After a while, they finally arrived at Fuhua Palace.
Fuhua Palace was originally the palace of Concubine De. After Concubine De was sent to the royal temple, Lu Qi lived there alone.
"Why are the princesses here?" The palace maids of Fuhua Palace were very surprised.
Their palace is the most deserted place in the entire harem. How did these princesses and princes come here?
Lu Li got off the Fifth Princess, held her head high and said, "I want to see the Second Princess, lead the way."
"Princess, please follow me." The palace maid dared not refuse Lu Li and led them in.
"Second sister, welcome back to the palace." Lu Li rushed to the front, gritted her teeth, and used all her strength to pull open the firework tube.
"Bang, bang, bang"
The strength of the people varied, and Lu Li did not greet them in advance.
After she finished shouting, the royal brothers and sisters following behind her hurriedly set off the fireworks.
Lu Qi, who came out to see them, was stunned when he heard this.
Looking at the colorful pieces of paper falling in the air, her eyes suddenly turned red.
It turns out that someone still remembered that she was back.
The arrival of these children brought a touch of warmth to the deserted Fuhua Palace.
"What is this?" Just when Lu Qi was so moved that he didn't know what to say, a voice came from the door.
