Chapter 531 Extra: Lu Xuanyi and Cen Zhijing (V)
"I, I don't know." Lu Xuanyi fell into panic and she subconsciously wanted to escape.
This time, Cen Zhijing did not stop her.
She returned to the palace in a panic.
"Xuan'er, why did you come back so early today? Have you finished the experiment?"
Lu Zhirong looked at her daughter in surprise.
"Yeah, it's done." Lu Xuanyi nodded in panic, his mind confused.
Junior brother likes her?
How is that possible?
She had always treated him as her younger brother, just like she treated Lu Can...
"What's wrong with you? Did something happen?" Lu Zhirong noticed that something was wrong with her.
Lu Xuanyi was a little confused. She was wondering whether she should tell her mother what happened today.
Forget it, I'll just ask someone else.
It's embarrassing to tell my mother about this.
Lu Xuanyi thought about it and decided to go find the seventh princess.
The Seventh Princess met the Seventh Prince Consort during the Shangsi Festival.
They fell in love at first sight and their relationship progressed very quickly. She was very curious: could they really spend the rest of their lives together after just knowing each other for so short a time?
She had been with her junior for so many years, but she had never thought about being with him for the rest of her life.
Thinking of this, her expression returned to calm.
"Don't worry, mother. I'm fine. I'm going to look for my Seventh Sister."
Hearing her say this, Lu Zhirong did not ask any more questions.
My daughter has always been well-behaved and will definitely not cause any serious trouble.
Lu Xuanyi went to find the seventh sister Lu Linlang.
"Xiao Ba, why are you here?" Lu Linlang was a little surprised to see her.
"I have something I want to ask my sister for advice." As soon as Lu Xuanyi finished speaking, her face turned red unconsciously.
"Okay, go ahead." Lu Linlang put away the account book and motioned for her to sit down.
Lu Xuanyi then told Cen Zhijing about what happened between her and Cen Zhijing.
Lu Linlang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How come the Eighth Princess was still as silly as she was when she was a child?
It was obvious from her situation that she had fallen in love with Cen Zhijing, but she didn't realize it.
"Seventh sister, how do you think I should respond to him?" Lu Xuanyi's face was filled with worry.
"Follow your heart." Lu Linlang gave the answer.
"Follow my heart?" Lu Xuanyi looked at her with some confusion.
"Think about it, if he leaves the capital and you can't see him, will you be sad?" Lu Linlang began to ask.
"Yes." Lu Xuanyi nodded, and then explained, "But if Master, Senior Brothers, or you leave the capital, I will be sad too."
"If he marries someone else and you attend his wedding, will you be sad?" Lu Linlang asked again.
Lu Xuanyi was startled, and her heart felt as if it was being crawled over and bitten by ants, making her feel extremely sour and bitter.
At this moment, she understood her own feelings.
"I can't imagine him marrying someone else," she said, her voice choking with sobs.
"I don't want him to marry someone else."
"Isn't the answer out now?" Lu Linlang smiled slightly.
"But I liked my senior brother before, and it's only been a few months, and I like my junior brother now. Isn't this a bad thing? Will my junior brother believe my sincerity?" Lu Xuanyi was caught in anxiety.
"Silly Xiaoba." Lu Linlang reached out and rubbed her head.
"No one stipulates that a person can only love one person in their lifetime. You didn't even marry your senior brother. Do you have to be a widow for the rest of your life just because of your past crush?"
After hearing what she said, Lu Xuanyi blushed again.
“That seems to be the case.”
"Don't dwell on the past, just look forward." Lu Linlang said as she asked someone to find a set of jewelry.
"Come, let me dress you up beautifully. Tomorrow you can go and stun your junior brother and make him fall head over heels for you."
"No need for that, Seventh Sister." Lu Xuanyi waved her hands shyly.
"Of course you don't need it. You must." Lu Linlang started dressing her up without saying a word.
Lu Xuanyi refused to fail and could only let her manipulate her.
"It looks good. You can dress like this tomorrow and he won't be charmed." Lu Linlang clapped her hands, very confident in her outfit.
Lu Xuanyi looked at herself in the mirror and opened her mouth slightly.
The Seventh Princess is really amazing. This combination is completely different from her usual style.
"Listen to me, you must wear this outfit tomorrow." Lu Linlang was afraid that she would not obey, so she emphasized it again.
"Got it." Lu Xuanyi nodded obediently.
…
Lu Xuanyi was uneasy that night.
The same is true for Cen Zhijing.
What if the senior sister really rejected him?
At the same time, both of them couldn't sleep and tossed and turned in bed.
But the day still dawned.
Both of them plucked up their courage and went to the laboratory.
When they met, they were stunned.
Cen Zhijing was shocked by Lu Xuanyi's dress, while Lu Xuanyi was startled by the dark circles under his eyes.
"Junior brother, did you go out to steal last night? Why are your eyes so dark?"
"No, I just can't sleep." Cen Zhijing quickly covered his eyes with his hands.
"Senior sister, you are dressed so beautifully today." He praised sincerely.
Because Lu Xuanyi spoke first, the subtle awkwardness between the two disappeared.
"It's beautiful, why are you covering your eyes? Is it too ugly that you don't want to see it?" Lu Xuanyi said this deliberately.
"Of course not." Cen Zhijing put his hand down again.
He answered honestly: "That's because I don't want you to see me in this wolfish state. I am not worthy of you in this state."
After saying this, he lowered his head again.
He was filled with regret. If he had known this earlier, he would have asked his mother how to apply powder so that he could at least cover his eyes.
"How can we not be a match? Didn't you say that day that we are a perfect match?" Lu Xuanyi smiled slightly.
Cen Zhijing raised his head in surprise.
What does senior sister mean by this? Is she willing to accept him?
"Seventh Princess told me to follow my heart. I don't want you to marry someone else." Lu Xuanyi mustered up the courage to speak.
"No, in this lifetime, I will not marry anyone else except you." Cen Zhijing loudly expressed his feelings.
"Hey, you two, be careful about the impact. My master and I are still here." Liang Zhao and Mo Ju, who pushed the door open, heard his loud confession clearly.
Lu Xuanyi: ...
Cen Zhijing: ...
It’s over. I was caught by my master and senior brothers. It was so embarrassing.
Both of their faces turned red.
Liang Zhao looked at the two of them lovingly and said, "Junior brother, you can go and ask the emperor for permission."
Cen Zhijing looked at Lu Xuanyi with a red face, asking for her opinion with his eyes.
Lu Xuanyi didn't see his hint and wanted to bury her head in the ground.
Mo Jue realized it later: "Ah? The two disciples are together, how come I didn't know?"
"When did you two fall in love with each other?" he couldn't help but ask.
Lu Xuanyi: “Yesterday.”
Cen Zhijing: “Five years ago.”
Liang Zhao: "It should be during the Shangsi Festival."
Three people gave three answers.
Mozhe: ???
The three of them looked at each other, and finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
…
Half a year later, Lu Yanshi issued an edict to make Cen Zhijing the eighth princess's consort.
Two years later, they got married.
After marriage, the two worked together to research various technologies that would be beneficial to the development of Daxia.
The couple had a son and a daughter, both of whom followed their parents' wishes and became great scientific researchers.
Lu Xuanyi and Cen Zhijing loved each other until they were old and made many contributions to Daxia.
Both died at the age of eighty.
It is worth mentioning that according to historical records, three days after the eighth princess Lu Xuanyi passed away, her husband Cen Zhijing also passed away in his sleep.
Since then, their marriage has become a legend of the generation.
