Situ Yong took the letter from the eunuch and began to read it. When he saw Lu Zifeng said that he had found the last army hidden by Prince Qing, he was excited. It seemed that he had made the right decision to let Lu Zifeng follow Prince Qing. Otherwise, he would not be able to find out where those soldiers had gone. Now that he knew, and Lu Zifeng also speculated that they would enter the palace from the direction of Lianzhou Prefecture, he could also dispatch troops and arrange people to make preparations. Now everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.
"Haha, this kid is really good!"
As he said this, he handed the letter to His Royal Highness Prince Zhong who was sitting next to him.
"Brother Wang, take a look. This is what your future son-in-law did. He did a great job."
Prince Zhong was still wondering what the emperor was so happy about. After hearing what the emperor said, he took the letter and read it. As soon as he saw it, he burst into laughter.
"Haha, my son-in-law is truly amazing. This speaks volumes about the mountain and the king's keen eye for talent!"
Lu Minghan curled his lips in surprise, feeling that His Royal Highness Prince Zhong, whom he had known for decades, turned out to be such a shameless person.
"Haha, Prince Zhong, stop flattering yourself. He's from my Lu family, my own nephew, and the heir to my Duke Dingguo Mansion. What does that have to do with you? You should know that our two families haven't engaged yet. We're only discussing the marriage for now, which means nothing has been decided yet. My nephew is so outstanding, I will definitely find him the best wife."
Prince Zhong was dancing with joy, but when he heard Lu Minghan say this, he immediately became unhappy.
"Hey, Lu Minghan, you shameless man, how could you go back on your word? You promised it in the beginning. Although our two families haven't finalized the marriage yet, you didn't object, right? Moreover, you and the prince have reached an agreement. Although we haven't been engaged yet, a verbal agreement is still an agreement! Do you want to be a servant with no credibility?"
Lu Minghan snorted coldly and ignored Prince Zhong. He turned his head away and didn't even look at Prince Zhong.
Emperor Situ Yong was sitting there thinking about how to arrange the generals to be on standby near Lianzhou Prefecture, but he also noticed that two people who were almost a hundred years old in total were actually bickering in his imperial study, and he was immediately amused by the anger.
"Tell me, you two have been bickering since you were little, that's almost a hundred years combined. Isn't it shameful that you're still here venting your anger?"
The two of them stopped bickering and just ignored each other, which made Situ Yong laugh.
"Alright, I understand what's going on. If there's nothing else, you can all go back! I need to think carefully about who should be sent."
Lu Minghan and Prince Zhong then walked out of the imperial study together and stood at Prince Zhong's road at the palace gate.
"Let's go to my princess's restaurant. It's been a while since we've had a drink and chat together."
Lu Minghan did not object, and the two went to the third floor of the restaurant, which was Prince Zhong’s private room, and sat down.
"Oh, haha, I want to laugh every time I think about it. What on earth is Prince Qing trying to achieve? Back then, the Emperor's uncle chose the current Emperor because the Crown Prince was no longer around. That means Prince Qing was born a bastard and wasn't fit to inherit the throne. That's why he chose the current Emperor. He still refuses to give up, he's courting death!"
Lu Minghan did not comment, but only focused on eating the food without saying anything. After King Zhong finished speaking, he saw that Lu Minghan was only focused on eating the food and ignored him, and he immediately became angry and said,
"Lu Minghan, did you hear what I said?"
Lu Minghan said without raising his head.
"What are you talking about? This royal family's affairs are not for an outsider like me to interfere. Even if I say anything, it will be useless!"
Prince Zhong was so angry that he fell backwards and pointed at Lu Minghan.
"You old fox, you're pretending to be so hypocritical here. Everyone knows how much you've done for the Emperor over the years. Do you really think I don't know? It's just that I'm pretending to be confused and don't want to get involved!"
Lu Minghan blinked.
"Your Highness, Prince Zhong, thankfully you're a member of the royal family. If you're unwilling to get involved, then why would you want me to get involved too? After all, I'm an outsider, and you're family?"
Lu Minghan's words left Prince Zhong speechless. He felt that what Lu Minghan said made a lot of sense! But why couldn't he win the argument? After thinking about it, he decided not to dwell on it anymore and said.
"Tell me, what does your second brother's family think of our marriage?"
Speaking of this, Lu Minghan put down his chopsticks and looked at Prince Zhong.
"We'll have to wait a little longer about this. The child isn't home right now. I'm sure you've heard about my second brother's family. That child was also lost back then, but he came back on his own more than a decade later. My second brother doesn't want to upset the child since he grew up away from home, so he wants to wait until the child comes back to ask for his opinion before discussing the marriage."
Prince Zhong was stunned when he heard Lu Minghan's words. "No, Lu Minghan, you mean that the success or failure of this marriage depends entirely on that brat. If that brat doesn't like Ji Yaoer, does that mean this marriage will be aborted?"
Lu Minghan really didn't know how to answer this question for a while. After all, Prince Zhong's statement seemed to be correct. If Lu Zifeng really looked down on Prince Zhong's daughter, then it was hard to say what the outcome of this marriage would be!
Seeing Lu Minghan's expression, Prince Zhong said angrily.
"Okay, Lu Minghan, you little bastard, if you really didn't like my daughter, you should have just rejected her back then. Why did you make me ask you again with such a shameless attitude? Don't you think I have any face? I've already lost it with you!"
Hearing that Prince Zhong seemed angry, Lu Minghan felt a little embarrassed. They were brothers who grew up playing together, so how could he embarrass him?
He quickly stood up with a smile and held down Zhong Wangdao who had stood up angrily.
"Tell me about your temper. Why haven't you changed it in the past few decades? Let me tell you, my nephew will definitely fall in love with your daughter. I think when you came to thank me, you should have figured it out. Your daughter Yao'er is beautiful, well-educated and well-mannered. She is naturally worthy of my nephew. It's just that my second brother promised that kid that he would get his consent before proposing marriage. Isn't that why it's been delayed? Besides, the two children have met several times, so I am very satisfied with the marriage between our two families and I am also very confident."
After hearing Lu Minghan's words, Prince Zhong calmed down and smiled.
"Alright, I'll trust you this once. If the marriage doesn't work out, I won't forgive that guy. Since he can't be my son-in-law, then don't be someone else's son-in-law either."
Lu Minghan opened his eyes wide in shock at Prince Zhong's words.
"You old scoundrel, it's been decades, and you still use this trick?"
