Chapter 284: Toad? Golden Toad!

Zhong Yujin's face fell instantly.

"Grandma and aunt are gone too."

Zhong Yujin pointed at Lu Mingchao, who was able to bend and stretch.

Lu Mingchao: ???

No, why call me aunt at this time!

Are you familiar with it?

Lu Mingchao took a deep breath and admitted his mistakes in an assembly line style, "Your Highness, when I was young, I was blinded by vanity and made a lot of jokes. Now when I think about it, I am ashamed and embarrassed. I am really embarrassed."

How about using your feet to build a villa?

Princess Yongming consoled him, "You are smart and resolute, and you have great ambitions. You will not be confused by the beauty and debauchery of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion."

"She who is pregnant sits quietly."

Immediately, he raised his hand and grabbed Zhong Yujin's ear, "When did you go to Chunqiu Pavilion?"

"Who proposed it?"

The days of those playboys were full of excitement and variety, and she couldn't defend herself against them.

Zhong Yujin nodded and said, "In the early autumn of the year before last."

"The Second Prince proposed."

"Xiao Fu?" Princess Yongming's brows instantly wrinkled.

A year and a half ago.

A year and a half ago, Xiao Fu was not yet old enough to dance with the elephant.

"Zhong! Yu! Jin!"

"Have you forgotten my warning?"

Xiao Fu is not a good person!

It's bad enough that they are addicted to alcohol and sex at a young age, but they also always have some messy ways of playing.

Do you really think she doesn't know that bloody corpses are carried out of Xiao Fu's palace every now and then?

"Grandma, it was Gu Huai and Lu Mingchao who inspired me." Zhong Yujin said hurriedly.

Lu Mingchao's question mark face.

Why is it about her again?

"You go if I stimulate you, then why don't you lick it..."

Shit!

Considering her social status, Princess Yongming swallowed the words that she was about to say.

Lerong County Lord thoughtfully added, "Dog shit."

Zhong Yujin retorted, "Grandma, Le Rong is so vulgar and fierce, I'm afraid she won't be able to get married in this lifetime."

Princess Yongming and Lord Lerong spoke at the same time.

"If she can't get married, I will marry her to you."

"This county lord has never thought of getting married in this life!"

Zhong Yujin waved her hands repeatedly, "Grandma, please spare my grandson."

"If you force my grandson to marry Le Rong, I will shave my head and become a monk."

Lord Lerong was unusually silent.

Her dissolute cousin who was good at eating, drinking and having fun would rather become a monk than marry her, let alone the favorite student of the great scholar Yan Ji.

Is she really that bad?

For a while, Mayor Lerong was at a dead end.

Princess Yongming gently pushed Zhong Yujin and said, "Go to the study and kneel down to copy the letters your father sent back home in the past."

The letters home expressed longing and admiration for her as a mother, as well as advice and admonitions to Yu Jin.

Zhong Yujin glanced at the silent County Lord Le Rong, feeling uneasy, and walked out of the flower hall, looking back every few steps.

When she was about to step out of the door, she said in a rush, "Cousin, I just don't want to marry you, I don't hate you."

"Even though you always whip me, I am willing to support you for the rest of my life."

Lu Mingchao's eyelids couldn't help twitching.

Is this a consolation or just another stab in the back?

"Go quickly!" Princess Yongming said in a deep voice.

Zhong Yujin slipped away easily.

Princess Yongming held the hand of County Lord Lerong and said gently, "Lerong, don't deny yourself so easily."

"I just briefly asked Mr. Lu about Amber's twin brothers."

"I wanted to praise you."

"As expected of a noble man like you, you have good taste."

"With a startling glance, any one of you can tell that he is Yan Ji's disciple."

County Lord Lerong blinked and said blankly, "Grandmother, don't you think I am a toad who wants to eat swan meat and has no idea of ​​the immensity of heaven and earth?"

"What toad? It's obviously a golden toad." Princess Yongming laughed.

"I plan to write a letter to Yan Ji, asking him to ask his disciples if they are willing to marry into the Grand Princess's Mansion."

"Grandma, don't ask anymore." County Lord Lerong stopped her.

"I am my father's only daughter and I don't want to marry outside the family."

"He is a disciple of the great scholar Yan Ji, and should shine, instead of being labeled as a son-in-law and suffering from the unwarranted accusations and contemptuous looks of those mediocre but pretentious people."

"Grandma, I don't want him anymore."

Mayor Le Rong was decisive and resolute.

If she is not willing to give in, then she should not expect the other party to make sacrifices.

It's not fair.

Princess Yongming frowned, "Have you really decided?"

County Lord Lerong nodded without hesitation.

Whatever she felt, she couldn't let her grandmother write a letter.

My grandmother and Mr. Yan Ji were old acquaintances, and with the blessing of her status as the Grand Princess, the weight of a letter often exceeded a thousand pounds.

Princess Yongming thought for a moment and said, "That's fine."

A disciple selected by Yan Ji Yan is hard to come by.

It seems that she needs to have a good talk with the Pingning couple about Le Rong's marriage.

The possibility of recruiting a man who is both talented and handsome is very slim.

"Come, take a look at the pearls that Mrs. Lu brought." Princess Yongming changed the subject naturally.

"This white and pink one suits you perfectly."

Lord Lerong was attracted by the sight. "Ming Chao, you have such a big and round pearl in your hand. It is comparable to the rare pearls presented to the royal family as tribute from the coastal counties."

"As long as you like it." Lu Mingchao smiled.

"I like it very much." County Lord Lerong nodded heavily.

The corner of his eye inadvertently caught a glimpse of the crystal clear cups in the brocade box. With a change of mind, he took the hand of Princess Yongming and gently shook it, "Grandmother, Lu Mingchao has given such an expensive gift when he first arrived. You can't be stingy in returning the gift."

"With your return gift, the people in Yongning Marquis's Mansion will be more cautious and will not dare to act rashly."

Princess Yongming deliberately said, "I heard that the Queen's gifts have been distributed, including the ivory mirage screen for Empress Dowager Xie."

"That's different." Mayor Lerong spoke softly and coquettishly.

After the palace coup, Empress Dowager Xie's power in the outside world was far less than before.

"How about I return a pair of gold and jade ruyi?"

"It's both a return gift and a belated wedding gift."

Princess Yongming said with a smile.

Her return gift was neither too much nor too little.

She protected Lu Mingchao, but she didn't want anyone to notice her ulterior motive.

County Lord Lerong didn't know the inside story, and pouted unhappily, "Grandma, can you please send Ming Chao a carriage from the Grand Princess's mansion?"

Princess Yongming said, "I will not ask about the gifts between you young people."

"Thank you, grandma." County Mayor Lerong smiled brightly.

"Grandma, I'm taking Ming Chao to see the flowers."

Princess Yongming quickly ordered, "Slow down."

"Take care of Mr. Lu's health."

That is the flesh and blood of the Xie family.

So many people from the Xie family died that Empress Dowager Xie almost went insane.

If anything happened to the fetus in Lu Mingchao's belly, who knows how crazy the revenge would be.

For now, she only hopes that the little prince back then is a promising talent who can shoulder the responsibility of running the country of Daqian.
