Chapter 532 Extra: Lu Qionghua and He Lianji (I)

The wedding of Lu Qiongying and Tian Nanxing was scheduled for half a year later.

So he sent invitations to all the nobles.

Naturally, Prince Liang's Mansion also received the invitation.

"Father, Mother, I will go to Beijing on behalf of our palace for the fifth princess' wedding." Helian Ji was a little excited, holding the invitation in his hand.

He hasn't been to the capital for a long time.

After his aunt passed away, Helian Qian, who was about the same age as him, went to the city of Yaskal.

He had one less playmate.

He could only be forced to study hard to kill time.

He proposed to go to the capital for fun, but was stopped by his father and mother every time, saying that he should not touch the emperor's head.

The Emperor has sent out the invitation for the Fifth Princess's wedding. Father and Mother can't object to it, right?

"Let you go? You won't bring shame to our Prince Liang's Mansion, right?" Dongfang Yueran looked at her son with some suspicion.

"Besides, you have a feud with the Fifth Princess. Are you sure she wants to see you at her wedding?"

Hearing this, Helian Ji's face turned dark.

"Mother, am I your biological child? Why do you say that to me? That was all many years ago. I have grown up. Besides, the Fifth Princess is definitely not as vindictive as you are."

"Who are you saying is holding a grudge?" Dongfang Yueran glared at her son.

"I didn't say anything, you heard it wrong." Helian Ji immediately acted cleverly to please his mother.

"Just let me go. I promise not to bring shame to our family."

After saying this, he gave his father another look, suggesting that he should speak for him.

Prince of Liang Helian Aodu pretended not to notice his hint and drank his tea leisurely.

"Private money."

"Fighting chicken."

Helian Ji mouthed something to him silently.

Helian Aodu's face froze. Brat, you actually learned how to threaten him.

After returning to his hometown, he became addicted to cockfighting, but his vision was not very good and he lost nine out of ten fights, so the princess did not allow him to play anymore.

But it's not so easy to quit.

He only has such a small hobby, why was it taken away from him?

So he quietly bought a small house with a yard outside the palace to raise the fighting chickens he had found.

Unexpectedly, it was discovered by my youngest son.

"Princess, Ji'er is already sixteen years old and can stand on his own. In my opinion, he can represent our Liang Palace to go to the capital to attend the fifth princess' wedding banquet." Helian Aodu spoke reluctantly.

Helian Ji winked at him and smiled brilliantly.

Others bought houses to keep mistresses, but his father bought a house to raise fighting chickens.

Tsk tsk tsk.

Although the situation was completely different, he couldn't let his mother find out. This gave him an opportunity to pull his father into his own camp.

"Okay, then you have to remember that when you go out, your every move represents the dignity of our Liang Palace. Remember not to embarrass our family." Dongfang Yueran emphasized seriously.

"You are no longer an ignorant child. If you offend the royal family, your father and I may not be able to protect you."

"Don't worry, mother. I will definitely remember your words." Helian Ji hurriedly raised his hand and swore.

Great, Beijing, he's back!

"That's good enough." Dongfang Yueran nodded with satisfaction.

She gave orders to start preparing the dowry gift for the fifth princess in advance so that her son could take it back when the time comes.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, there is only half a month left until the fifth princess' wedding day.

Helian Ji took a few guards and some makeup gifts and drove to the capital.

After arriving in the capital and putting away his luggage, he changed his clothes and went to the palace to meet the emperor.

"Your humble servant Helianji pays homage to His Majesty."

When Lu Yanshi saw the grown-up Helian Ji, he didn't recognize him for a moment.

"Stand up." Lu Yanshi raised his hand and motioned for him to stand up.

He took a closer look at Helian Ji's face and found that he really looked completely different from when he was a child.

When he was young, Helian Ji looked more like Prince Liang. As he grew up, he became gentler and more like Princess Liang.

"They say girls change a lot when they grow up, but I've discovered that boys change a lot too. I can hardly recognize you now."

"Your Majesty can still remember what I looked like when I was a child. I am really touched." Helian Ji replied quickly.

Lu Yanshi laughed: "I not only remember what you looked like when you were a child, but I also remember how you refused to admit your guilt even when Xiaowu whipped you with a whip."

Helian Ji: ...

How should he respond to this?

As expected of the Emperor, he gave him a difficult problem as soon as he returned to Beijing.

Before he could figure out how to defend himself, Lu Yanshi continued to sigh: "But time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, Xiaowu is going to marry a prince consort."

"Yes, time really flies." Helian Ji agreed hastily, and mentioned what gifts he brought for the fifth princess.

Lu Yanshi was very satisfied with his attitude and pulled him aside to ask about the recent situation of Prince Liang and Princess Liang.

After chatting for about an hour, he was allowed to leave.

Helian Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

He was about to leave the palace, but unexpectedly he bumped into Lu Qionghua who was rushing back to the palace to see his father.

"Feel sorry."

They both spoke at the same time.

"Are you okay?"

Again, they all said the same thing.

Both of them were stunned.

After Helian Ji identified her, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Hello, Sixth Princess."

"Who are you?" Lu Qionghua was a little confused.

Who is this? Why hasn't she seen him before?

"I am Helian Ji, the prince of Liang." Helian Ji hurriedly revealed his identity.

Hearing his name, Lu Qionghua's originally gentle face suddenly turned stern.

She couldn't help but said sarcastically, "It's you. After not seeing each other for so many years, you've actually learned how to bump into people and apologize."

Helian Ji: ...

The Sixth Princess's prejudice against him has not been eliminated after so many years.

"But this time, it was the princess who hit me, right?" he defended himself.

Lu Qionghua: ...

Oh no, she couldn't help but feel weird as soon as she saw Helian Ji.

Who made him bully her sister back then?

But this time it really wasn't his fault.

Lu Qionghua pursed her lips and apologized: "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry and didn't pay attention, so I bumped into you. I will have someone send a gift to your house later."

Helian Ji didn't expect that she would apologize to him. At first, the Sixth Princess disliked everything about him. When he was in the capital, they had many quarrels and she never gave in.

"No need to compensate, I'm not that fragile. Since Sixth Princess is in a hurry, please go ahead." He stepped aside and let Lu Qionghua go first.

Lu Qionghua didn't expect that this guy would be so lenient now.

Whenever he got the upper hand when they were little, he would cling to her relentlessly.

Lu Qionghua didn't say much, just nodded slightly, and quickly went to find his father.

Helian Ji glanced at her leaving back and without thinking too much, he also left the palace.

Both of them thought that the next time they would meet would be on Lu Qiongying's wedding day.

Unexpectedly, two days later, the two met again.
