Chapter 7 Another Enemy
Lu Yuanze was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly led everyone to go and greet them.
The little prince is six years old this year. He is extremely intelligent and has great credibility in the court and the country. Your Majesty has taught him personally since he was born and never delegated the task to anyone else.
Your Majesty's expectations of him can be seen from his name.
Xie Chengxi.
"Why is Your Highness here?" The eldest princess often went to the palace and was naturally close to the prince.
The prince usually doesn't pay attention to what's happening outside and only listens to the policies of governing the country. Why would he suddenly come to the Lu family?
Although the prince was young, his aura was so overwhelming that everyone present dared not look directly at him.
He waved his hand and Lu Yuanze retreated behind him.
"Aunt is here to attend the full moon banquet, and Chengxi happened to be out of the palace, so he came to visit on his way." The prince said lightly, his eyes falling on the cradle.
There was some heat in Lu Yuanze's eyes. Ever since the late emperor passed away, the favor that the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion had received for its service in following the emperor had been used up.
Your Majesty is lukewarm towards the Lu family.
If I could catch up with the prince...
Xu came forward and bowed to the prince, who nodded slightly and said, "Madam Xu, please get up quickly. I happened to pass by the Lu family and saw the full moon banquet, so I came here to ask for some joy."
"Bring Chaochao here quickly." Xu nodded towards Dengzhi.
Xiao Chaochao blinked her eyes and when she raised her eyes, she saw a delicate little brother looking at her seriously.
The little brother is very handsome, but he looks so serious at such a young age that people don’t dare to mess with him.
The prince took two glances and was about to look away.
Sudden……
I heard a baby chirping in my ear, "Oh, it's the prince!" 】
[The little prince was born with strange celestial phenomena and was born with precocity... It's a pity that he has a bad fate. Tsk tsk... He is just making things difficult for others.] The little fellow muttered twice and then yawned.
Prince? ? ?
He stared with his round eyes, and there was a rare hint of confusion in his look.
What did he hear? Can you hear the baby's voice?
Have you finished talking? What are you saying? What happened to this palace? !
The prince looked straight at the baby, but the little guy was yawning, his eyes were bleary, and he fell asleep.
He really wanted to... go up to her, hug her shoulders and rock her.
Wake up, and finish your words!
"The young lady is probably sleepy." Dengzhi smiled.
The prince frowned slightly, and thought of today's strangeness. He reached out and took off the jade pendant from his waist and put it into the swaddling clothes: "I just happened to pass by today, and I didn't bring any gifts, so I will give this to Xiao Chaochao as a full-month gift."
Lu Yuanze was shocked, he couldn't even get the prince's support, but Lu Chaochao actually won the prince's favor!
At the same time, there was also a hint of displeasure in my heart.
This great luck belongs to Jingyao.
"Thank Your Highness on behalf of my daughter." Xu bowed and felt more at ease.
With the prince's appreciation, at least they dared not attack Chao Chao again.
The prince did not stay long, and Lu Yuanze did not curry favor with him as he wished, so he just personally escorted the prince out the door.
Lu Chaochao's full-month banquet was held in a grand manner, and Xu even provided free porridge for three days to pray for her.
At night, when all the guests had left, Lu Yuanze suppressed the anxiety between his brows.
"Chao Chao's baby is only one month old, and you're holding such a grand and ostentatious celebration. Be careful not to ruin her luck." There was a hint of annoyance between Lu Yuanze's brows.
Xu's face fell.
"What do you mean, sir?"
"Chao Chao is the only legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and the only granddaughter of my Xu family. She is a legitimate daughter, not a dirty illegitimate child. What's wrong with holding a grand full-month banquet?" Xu's eyebrows drooped slightly, and her words made Lu Yuanze clench his fists at his side.
Dirty bastard.
Every word tread upon his heart.
Xu knew that she shouldn't provoke him, but she just couldn't help it and wanted to disgust him.
Lu Yuanze had no choice but to suppress his anger.
All the invited guests today are the upright people in the capital. Even the old ministers who usually treat him coldly are more friendly to him today.
Lu Yuanze's eyebrows twitched.
"Yunniang, I don't blame you. I'm just afraid that the Marquis' Mansion is too ostentatious and will displease His Majesty." When Lu Yuanze saw today's full moon banquet, he couldn't help but think of Lu Jingyao, who was also celebrating her full moon.
It was also his daughter, and it was also a full-moon banquet, Lu Chaochao was very glorious, grand and extravagant.
However, Lu Jingyao hid in the small house and didn't even dare to hold a full moon banquet.
His daughter has been wronged.
"My three elder brothers all held simple ceremonies, but this time they held a grand ceremony. It was just a full moon banquet." Xu smiled and said nothing else, but she was filled with hatred in her heart.
No wonder the full moon and one-year-old celebrations for the three sons were not held in a big way. I’m afraid that woman outside was not happy!
Lu Yuanze sat in the courtyard for a while, then said that there were still some government affairs that had not been resolved, and returned to his study.
late at night.
"Madam, the Marquis has gone out." Dengzhi had been paying attention to the front yard for a long time. After hearing the report, Xu's eyes turned slightly red.
She sat by the window for a long time, feeling cold both physically and mentally.
"Today is the full moon celebration. He hasn't come home for a day. He must go back to comfort his sweetheart, right?" Xu rocked the cradle gently, feeling desolate in her heart.
She really wanted to ask, did you really like me at the beginning?
After more than ten years of marriage, they were a loving couple in the eyes of outsiders, but unexpectedly, it was all fake.
"Madam, Lord Marquis, maybe there is something important." Dengzhi advised with difficulty.
Xu chuckled.
Dengzhi looked at her worriedly.
Xu waved her hand and was about to take a rest when she heard a noisy sound coming from outside the door.
"What's going on? Making so much noise in the middle of the night?" Dengzhi went out and scolded.
"Madam, something happened!" The little girl from the inner gate staggered into the courtyard.
"What happened? Be careful not to bump into the young lady in such a hurry!"
The little girl looked terrified: "Something happened to the Xu family."
"Just now, the commander of the imperial guards led his men to surround the Xu family, saying that the Xu family was harboring evil intentions and that there were things hidden in the mansion that would lead to treason. The Xu family is now under strict surveillance, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!"
When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked.
Xu's figure swayed slightly, and finally came...
What my daughter said came true.
She felt sad and scared.
