Situ Liang was startled and a little flustered by Lu Zifeng's look, but then he looked carefully and saw that Lu Zifeng had already entered the carriage and the curtain had been lowered.
Situ Liang calmed his rapidly beating heart, let out a long breath, and watched the carriage of Duke Dingguo's Mansion slowly pass by him. Only then did he feel truly relieved.
He turned his head to look at his own driver and slapped him directly, knocking the driver to the ground. It can be seen how much strength Situ Liang used this time.
Two young men in their twenties watched the scene from a window on the second floor not far away.
"See? This is Lu Zifeng. A single look from him can frighten the young master of the Wang family! Haha"
The speaker was a young man in a crimson robe.
Another man in a sky-blue robe said coldly.
"Hmph, the Emperor is being too indulgent with the Empress's family. How could this country brat have the good of inheriting the Duke of Dingguo's mansion? And now everyone in the capital knows that this brat is responsible for the Third Prince of Prince Li's broken leg, yet no one is doing anything! He's insulting the Imperial Family."
The man in the crimson robe laughed.
"Why, you're still not convinced? Why don't you go and take care of him? You have a cold face all day long, as if someone owes you hundreds of taels of silver."
The cold-faced man suddenly (*⊙~⊙) seemed to be choked and stopped talking.
"You should know what Prince Li has done over the years. Although he can't be compared with Prince Qing, he is still notorious in the capital. I think it would be a good idea to clean him up. At least the capital can have some peace for a while."
"We are all royal relatives, but even if we are royal relatives, we still have to distinguish between close and distant relatives. The Zhongwang Mansion is the closest bloodline to the emperor among all of us. Our ancestors and the emperor were already five generations apart. If the great grandfather had not thought that the royal family was too weak, we would not have the good life we have now. So, the face of the royal family is not something we should worry about. We have the status of a royal family, so we should just live our own lives honestly and don't think about getting involved in power."
The cold-faced man sighed helplessly.
"You said we also want to serve Dayu, but why doesn't the emperor use us?"
The man in crimson robe looked at the man with a cold face speechlessly.
"So you didn't listen to everything I just said? Let me tell you, our Changsha Palace and Xiliang Palace are only royal princes. To put it bluntly, in the Dayu Dynasty, you can only be an idle prince. Just live your life of wealth and luxury. If you want to achieve great things, you must give up this status."
"Do you really think you can compare with the emperor's sons, nephews, and brothers? What are their identities? They are only the direct bloodline of our great-grandfather. Our grandfather is also the brother of our great-grandfather. The relationship is as distant as it can be. Prince Zhong is the emperor's cousin."
"Although our last name is Situ, there are many people with the same last name in our hometown. Are they all relatives of the royal family?"
Lu Zifeng accompanied the old lady back to Duke Dingguo's Mansion and saw Lu Fang waiting in front of the gate. When he saw the carriage approaching the gate, he hurried to the front of the carriage.
"This old servant finally waited for the old lady to come back."
The old lady got out of the carriage with the help of Nanny Cheng and scolded with a smile.
"You are lying to me again. Come on, let's go in!"
As soon as I reached the second gate, I saw Cui coming to greet me, the old lady said.
"What are you doing here? We're family, so why do we need these empty formalities?"
Cui said with a smile on her face.
"Look at what mother said. You've been staying at my second brother's house for such a long time. Your wife really missed you. Today, mother is coming home, so I have to come and pick you up, right? Originally, I was going to pick you up at my second brother's house, but the master said that Brother Feng would take you back, so I didn't go."
The old lady felt very relieved after hearing Cui's words and smiled.
"It should be like this. It's snowing today, and it's freezing cold. We women need to keep warm. We should go out as little as possible. Going out is suffering."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law supported each other and went to the old lady's yard. Lu Zifeng did not follow them, but went directly back to the courtyard of Duke Dingguo's Mansion specially prepared for the prince.
Lu Chun and Lu Xia already knew that Lu Zifeng would be back today, so they had already boiled some hot water and were waiting for Lu Zifeng to come back.
"Prince, would you like to wash up first or rest first?"
Lu Zifeng looked at the sky and decided to wash up first! Dinner would probably be served in an hour.
After washing up, Lu Zifeng changed his clothes and went to the study in the front yard. His uncle usually read books or played chess in the study at this time.
I knocked on the door, got an answer, pushed it open, and saw Lu Minghan reading at the desk.
"Come here, sit down first!"
Lu Zifeng did not sit down, but took a book from the bookshelf and started reading. After a long while, Lu Minghan finished reading the book and then looked at Lu Zifeng.
"Your marriage has been decided, and Prince Zhong has agreed. After the New Year, your aunt and I will find a time to propose to you. I think you will be married by the end of next year at the latest."
After hearing what his uncle said, Lu Zifeng stood up and saluted.
"Thank you for worrying about your nephew."
Lu Minghan waved his hand, and the smile on his face became even more kind.
"Brother Feng, do you plan to take a concubine in the future?"
Lu Zifeng was stunned by this question. He really hadn't thought about it before. He did have this thought when he first came to this world, but now this thought has really faded. He didn't know why. He didn't object to taking a concubine, but he wouldn't take the initiative to take one, because up to now he really hadn't fallen in love with that girl, of course, except for Situ Yao.
"Uncle, I haven't really thought about this question. It seems that apart from Situ Yao, there is no other girl who makes my heart beat faster."
"But this could also be because I haven't been around or seen many girls in the past two years!"
Lu Minghan nodded.
"Brother Feng, I'm telling you now. Because of your great-grandfather's experience, he left home at a young age and ventured out on his own because of the issue of favoring a concubine over his wife. Adding to your grandfather's story, before he died, your great-grandfather told me that our Lu family, descendants are not allowed to take concubines. If the wife is forty and childless, then you can take a concubine, and the mother must be killed, leaving only the child."
After hearing what his uncle said, Lu Zifeng was dumbfounded: Damn, is his idea of taking a concubine going to die before it even starts?
Seeing Lu Zifeng standing there in a daze, Lu Minghan laughed in his heart: "You little bastard, you're still thinking about taking a concubine? Once you become a member of our Lu family, you can't take a concubine."
