Chapter 201 Meeting with Marquis Xuanping
Her tone was calm, as if she was asking a very normal question.
It was as if the two of them were not discussing something extremely outrageous.
But we were having a heart-to-heart talk.
Lu Chenzhou was about to speak when he suddenly heard the sound of iron hooves outside the city, like thunder shaking the earth.
Immediately afterwards, the leading general dismounted from his horse.
Everyone outside knelt down and said in unison: "Welcome the Crown Prince back to Xiling!"
The soldiers' voices were like thunder in the clear sky, causing the surrounding people to look towards Lu Chenzhou excitedly.
Then they all knelt and saluted with the soldiers.
"Welcome the Crown Prince back to Xiling!!"
Lin Zhaoyue looked at the army and civilians outside, and her eyes became a little gloomy.
Lu Chenzhou looked at the general outside the curtain and raised the corner of his lips, "Deputy General Xu, long time no see."
Deputy Xu nodded respectfully, "The Marquis has already prepared a welcoming banquet and has been waiting in the mansion for a long time."
Lu Chenzhou looked at Lin Zhaoyue and asked with a smile, "Yue'er, would you like to go with me to see my father? You haven't seen him in many years."
It looked as if the two of them really had a very close relationship.
Only then did Deputy General Xu raise his eyes and glance at the woman sitting opposite the prince.
Although the woman was wearing a veil, her stunning beauty could be seen from her eyes and eyebrows.
His demeanor is even more extraordinary, with a natural nobility.
This woman...could it be...
He didn't dare to think about it.
How could the prince be so bold?
He thought Lin Zhaoyue would ignore him, but she curled her lips unexpectedly, and her veil rippled: "Well, I haven't seen Marquis Xuanping for many years, and I also want to catch up with him."
A hint of brightness appeared on Lu Chenzhou's face, and there was surprise in his eyes.
When he was about to return to the Marquis' Mansion, Lu Chenzhou suddenly remembered something and looked at Ming Xi.
"How about I replace this girl with another one? The maids in the Marquis' Mansion are better at serving people. I'll pick another one for you when I get back."
Mingxi paused, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, and she looked at Lin Zhaoyue pitifully, as if she was about to be abandoned.
"Princess... If I want to follow you..."
Lin Zhaoyue said calmly, "Xier, I'm used to it. No need to change."
Lu Chenzhou looked at Xier for a moment, then retracted his gaze. When he looked at Lin Zhaoyue, he softened his voice and said, "In that case, let her continue to serve you."
"But I'm worried that you used to be surrounded by first-class maids, and this kind of maid found on the road would not suit your taste."
Lin Zhaoyue glanced at Xier and said, "It's quite satisfactory."
Xier showed gratitude on her face, tears still welling up in her eyes.
Then she looked at Lu Chenzhou with pleading eyes, "Prince, I will definitely serve the princess well, please don't drive me away!"
Lu Chenzhou obviously didn't want to waste time with a maid, so he just said coldly: "Then do your job well."
After getting on the carriage, Lin Zhaoyue glanced at Mingxi who was still wiping her tears below, and a smile appeared on her lips.
Very good at acting.
No wonder he was so good at pretending to be pitiful in front of me.
She glanced towards the place in the teahouse where the conversation had just come from.
Her spies in Xiling also recorded this incident.
But today's personal experience made her truly understand the current separation between Xiling and the capital.
These people had no idea about the evil ambitions of this father and son.
In fact, the Lu family had already subtly turned the people of Xiling and them into a community of shared interests.
If the imperial court treats Xiling badly, it will be bad for the people.
Everything that Xuanping Hou and his son did was for Xiling and to protect their people from disaster.
In this way, compared with the imperial court, the people of Xiling will naturally stand on the side of Xiling and will side with Xiling without hesitation.
There are tens of thousands of common people in the five cities of Xiling.
They were all kept in the dark by Lu Shi and his son's strategy of keeping the people ignorant.
If one day, these people become cannon fodder for Lu Shi and his son to resist...
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and felt a sense of depression in her chest.
After entering Xiling, Su Changxue temporarily separated from them.
So Lin Zhaoyue met Su Changxue again after she arrived at the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
He had changed into a suit of dark bamboo and green mountains, and standing there he looked like something from a painting, making it hard to look away.
Therefore, Lin Zhaoyue couldn't help but look at him again.
Lu Chenzhou noticed this and his expression turned a bit cold: "Brother, you're quite diligent in changing your clothes. Are you deliberately wearing them for someone to see?"
【Su Changxue: ???】
[Hahahaha, does he think Su Changxue is doing this for the princess? ?]
[Actually, I also have this suspicion hahahahahaha]
【Su Changxue: You're crazy! 】
[How does the male protagonist bite whoever he catches now?]
He has an inferiority complex. Although he appears confident, he feels inferior in front of the princess, which is why he repeatedly emphasizes that the princess loves him. Because of this inferiority complex, he always feels that other men will snatch the princess away, and he begins to develop a pathological possessiveness and desire for control.
[If we analyze it from a psychological perspective, this is actually foreseeable. After all, the princess hadn't touched him for two years, and she must have become a little sick at that time. Otherwise, she wouldn't have needed to rely on controlling Chu Yinyin to prove herself.]
Su Changxue frowned, shifted her gaze away from him, and looked to the other side, as if she didn't want to talk to Lu Chenzhou, who was becoming more and more jealous.
In his opinion, Lu Chenzhou now looked like a madman who bit whoever he caught.
He now even missed the time when he could not see Lin Zhaoyue in the capital.
When he was jealous of other men, it would only drive the men in his house crazy, but it would not bring any harm to himself.
Now, when people are around, they start to affect innocent people.
It's really ridiculous.
He really forgot how he treated her for Chu Yinyin.
"Zhou'er, what are you talking about?"
As a middle-aged man's unpleasant voice sounded, a figure with the gait of a dragon and a tiger slowly walked out from the inner room.
Zhao Yue raised her eyes and looked at the figure walking out of the inner room.
The man was about 50% similar to Lu Chenzhou, and in a trance she actually got a glimpse of what Lu Chenzhou would look like twenty years later.
Although the man had not yet reached the age of knowing his destiny, his temples were already gray. However, this gray hair did not show his age, but instead added a sense of dignity to him.
She had met Marquis Xuanping when she was in the capital before.
It has been many years.
There hasn't been much change now compared to then.
If we only talk about appearance.
At this age, this man is more handsome than his father.
Perhaps because he has been a soldier for many years, his physique is more robust and tall.
But the whole person also revealed a hint of gloom.
On the contrary, my father is sometimes a little scheming and cunning.
Most of the time he acts like an old fool.
No wonder my mother chose my father.
After all, her father would be so foolish as to take her to the imperial kitchen to steal snacks.
And this man, like Lu Chenzhou, likes to mess around with other women.
