Chapter 178: Desire the Unsuitable
Su Changxue frowned slightly.
Lu Chenzhou stared at Su Changxue fiercely, "Not only did she let Chu Yinyin go for you, she didn't even take her anger out on you. She even showed her affection for you in front of everyone. She's not someone who would be so tolerant towards others."
Su Changxue's eyes moved slightly.
Lu Chenzhou smiled, but this smile was indeed terrifying. "Do you know what she would do if it were me?"
Su Changxue didn't say anything, but she pursed her lips coldly because of Lu Chenzhou's aggressive tone and the jealousy that was visible to the naked eye.
"If it were me, she would punish me severely, scold me, and say very unpleasant things to me."
"Brother Su, when did your relationship with Zhaoyue become so good?"
Su Changxue looked at Lu Chenzhou calmly, "Prince, are you doubting me?"
Lu Chenzhou's eyes were menacing and frightening, and he sneered, "I'm just worried that my brother might covet someone he shouldn't."
His expression was paranoid and sinister, sending a chill down one's spine.
Su Changxue looked at Lu Chenzhou for a while.
"Your Highness, are you jealous of me over a woman?"
By this point, he seemed a little unbelievable.
Lu Chenzhou, whom he chose as his wise leader, actually began to suspect him at this moment because of a woman.
What's even more ridiculous is that a mere figment of the imagination has created a rift between him and me.
Lu Chenzhou retracted his gaze and said, "This prince is just reminding you, brother, there is no other intention. Now, please come and check my injuries."
[Yo yo yo, my ex-husband is jealous]
[Oh my, my ex-husband's hand is injured. Who did it? It's so hard to guess.]
[Su Changxue expressed confusion]
[In the original plot, when the ex-husband knew that Su Changxue liked the heroine, he didn't react like this, right? ]
[Am I the only one who thinks the male lead is getting more and more terrifying? He's completely insane.]
…
"Your Highness, this was secretly delivered by Lord Cai. I took a look and saw that they were all portraits of children of officials."
Feng Mian's expression looked a little unnatural.
After all, when I came back from work, Lord Cai secretly stuffed a bunch of portraits of men into my hands.
It all feels weird.
Lin Zhaoyue was originally flipping through memorials in the study, and raised her eyes when she heard this.
"portrait?"
Lin Zhaoyue put down the memorial from his subordinate, took it, and began to read it page by page.
Feng Mian coughed lightly, "Lord Cai said that these young men all have clean backgrounds, and most of them are young officials under your command or the sons of officials. If Her Highness takes a fancy to one, she can immediately and quietly send him to the palace."
"Lord Cai also said that the backyard and the front court are inextricably linked. Your Highness, please consider this carefully."
Lin Zhaoyue: “…”
On the other side, Mingxi, who had fallen asleep while reading a book in a rocking chair, suddenly opened her eyes.
His eyes also turned to the stack of portraits in Lin Zhaoyue's hand.
Nowadays, Mingxi often reads books in Lin Zhaoyue's study, ranging from the Four Books and Five Classics, military strategies and state governance to miscellaneous talks and unusual stories.
The reason was that Lin Zhaoyue felt that Mingxi did not read enough books.
Having been in the black market for too long and without much reading, he picked up all the habits of a gangster.
When he curses at people, he speaks so harshly that it's like he has no control over the door.
"These old guys are always thinking about how to stuff men into my house..." Lin Zhaoyue rubbed her eyebrows.
The young men in the paintings are all handsome and elegant.
She suddenly saw a familiar portrait.
"Isn't this Xie Yu?"
How come Xie Yu, the Chief of Criminal Affairs, is also in this album?
Lin Zhaoyue naturally didn't know that when several officials and ministers were secretly discussing this matter, Xie Yu happened to hear it.
Xie Yu signed up directly and threatened several officials to send their portraits as well.
After all, Xie Yu is a capable subordinate of Lin Zhaoyue and holds great power.
Who dares not to give him face.
Although I feel that he is a little bit old, after all, the boys they chose for Her Royal Highness the Princess were all under 18 years old.
But his portrait was still sent over.
Lin Zhaoyue put these portraits aside.
"Go tell Lord Cai that I don't need to worry about them or me. Or do they want me to get pregnant? To come to court with a pregnant woman?"
When Feng Mian heard the word "pregnant", her face turned red and she hurried away to do her business.
Lin Zhaoyue naturally would not accept these children of officials into her house at this time.
Lord Cai was right. Her backyard was related to the division of power in the court.
Even if she wanted to take a lover now, she would not start with the sons of officials in the court.
What's more, most of the children of officials are arrogant.
Even if he doesn't think about achieving success and making great achievements, he still has the habits of a playboy.
Even if one has nothing to do with either, it doesn't necessarily mean that he is willing to be a concubine.
If it is really collected, I am afraid there will be a fire in the backyard.
not to mention……
I'm afraid Xiao Tingye is also keeping a close eye on this kind of thing.
She didn't want to cause any trouble at this time.
Mingxi glanced at the portraits and snorted coldly.
"You're not as pretty as me, yet you still want to enter the princess's mansion? You're dreaming."
Mu Ying, who was just bringing in tea, couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, you are beautiful."
Mingxi raised her chin and curled up the corners of her mouth.
Lin Zhaoyue remained silent. If it came to beauty, no one could compare to Mingxi.
Lin Zhaoyue's reply was indeed effective, and immediately made the officials who were secretly discussing the matter give up the idea.
Lord Cai: "Let's talk about this later. Your Highness the Princess is precious, and pregnancy is very harmful to her health..."
Lord Li: "That's right, let's put it aside for now. If Her Royal Highness is pregnant, it will definitely give someone an opportunity to take advantage of it."
Lord Xu nodded: "Let's just focus on assisting Her Royal Highness the Princess... Her Royal Highness is still young, it's still early, it's still early..."
…
For them, Lin Zhaoyue's existence is the backbone. Once she gets into trouble, the backbone will be gone.
Compared with the mutual connection of interests, they obviously care more about Lin Zhaoyue herself.
After all, no one can control whether these men can make Her Royal Highness the Princess pregnant.
They can't just watch them drink the contraceptive soup, right?
Pregnant women are already weak, so this is even more dangerous.
So they quickly gave up the idea.
I plan to wait until everything stabilizes.
"Chu Yinyin has been recuperating at home these days. After being taken away last time, she was beaten to pieces and only had her last breath left. I don't think she will be able to jump for a while." When Xiao Qi came to find Lin Zhaoyue, he reported what he had heard while eating osmanthus cake.
"I also heard that Lin Ye has recently started selling some calligraphy and paintings because his family fortune is almost gone. If he doesn't make some money, he won't be able to eat. Now, he writes a letter to the palace gate every day, but he is always driven out by the guards."
Xiao Qi smacked his lips as he ate. "I think he just couldn't stand the hard life outside anymore and wanted to ask for forgiveness from the emperor."
Lin Zhaoyue raised an eyebrow, "He also sends letters to the princess's mansion every now and then."
Xiao Qi laughed: "Hehe, I knew he would not let my eldest sister go."
Lin Zhaoyue just picked up a piece of osmanthus cake: "Hmm?"
Xiao Qi immediately changed her words, "I knew he would still pester my eldest sister."
Lin Zhaoyue curled her lips and fed the osmanthus cake into her mouth.
"By the way, elder sister, I met a very strange person in the capital these two days." Xiao Qi began to speak.
Lin Zhaoyue was curious: "Who is it?"
