Chapter 77: Angry Dad
New Year's Day.
The emperor and the prince were happy to have red nails.
It started snowing heavily again and the palace gates were about to close.
Lu Zhengyue hesitated for a moment in front of the palace, and then he saw the prince walking out of the door holding a baby.
The little guy hung on the prince like an octopus.
Holding a small pot of hot milk in his hand.
With her long and thick eyelashes covering her eyelids, Lu Chaochao was almost asleep, but she was still mumbling.
She hasn't yet stopped drinking milk at night.
"Your Highness, please give Chaochao to me." Lu Zhengyue lowered his voice.
The prince shook his head and said cautiously, "Chao Chao is not asleep yet, be careful not to wake her up. I will escort you out of the palace."
"Take my sedan chair, or you will miss the palace gates in time."
Chao Chao had a white cloak draped over his back. The little guy was warm all over and was sleeping soundly.
Lu Zhengyue was suspicious.
The prince's attitude towards Chao Chao was really polite.
The Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion, do you have such a big face?
"Chao Chao has eaten a lot tonight, so don't give him any more food. Just go back and drink some hot water."
After the prince gave his instructions, Lu Zhengyue waited to pick up the child.
But the prince still looked at him steadily.
"Your Highness, do you have anything else to say?" Lu Zhengyue asked.
The prince seemed a little embarrassed, and after a while he said, "Do you mind changing your father?"
The prince is serious.
This was the result of his discussion with his father.
If he wanted to make Chao Chao legitimate, he could kick Lu Yuanze out and marry Xu, which would be inappropriate.
bump……
Lu Yuanxiao fell in the snow.
Lu Zhengyue looked like he was struck by lightning and was unable to react for a long time.
With a head full of snow, she looked at the prince in horror.
The prince waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. I was just confused. Just pretend I never said anything today."
He said sternly: "But Lu Yuanze is not worthy of being Chao Chao's father."
Lu Zhengyue nodded: "Mother thinks so too."
The prince couldn't help but smile slightly.
It’s great that Xu was able to get rid of his love-brain habit.
The prince reluctantly returned Lu Chaochao to Lu Zhengyue and watched them get on the carriage, which slowly sank into the darkness and disappeared from his sight.
When I returned to the Marquis' Mansion.
I happened to meet Lu Wanyi crying as she walked out.
She looked back every few steps and didn't want to leave the mansion.
"Mr. Gu, you must teach Wanyi the rules well. Now that she is the top scholar's wife, it is the Gu family's reputation that will be lost." Xu's expression was indifferent, and she smiled at Gu Ling.
Gu Ling is not a good person, and the Xu family will deal with him sooner or later.
But by using his hand, I can deal with Lu Wanyi and achieve the best of both worlds.
Only after the Gu family's carriage left did Lu Zhengyue carry his sister back.
"Is everything going well?"
Xu knew that Chaochao was invited into the palace, and she also knew that she had saved the empress dowager, and the emperor might have some affection for her.
But Xu had no idea how deep this preference was.
"It went fairly smoothly." Except for a fight with Concubine Xian's dog.
They talked in a low voice for a while, then took Lu Chaochao to wash her up and put her back to the dormitory.
Lu Zhengyue fell on the bed and thought of Su Zhiqing.
She became the legitimate wife of the Lu family.
Thinking of Wen Ning.
His eyes lit up slightly, and he didn't even notice the tenderness in them.
As night fell, Lu Zhengyue seemed to fall into a dream.
Faintly, I could hear voices begging and crying: "Please, please, please save the Xu family, save Zheng Yue."
"The Xu family will not rebel, and the descendants of the Lu family are also full of righteousness, they will not rebel."
"They were wrongly accused. Please investigate this matter thoroughly."
On a snowy day, Wen Ning, thinly dressed, was seen kneeling in the snow in a panic, stopping a passing carriage.
At this moment, Wen Ning's brows were filled with lingering fatigue, and he stopped carriages again and again.
"Unjust? How can it be unjust when Xu's own daughter reported it herself?"
"Miss Lu Jingyao is sacrificing her own family for the sake of justice. This is a righteous act."
"Grand Tutor Xu's entire family plotted rebellion, and implicated the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion. Fortunately, the Crown Prince was kind and righteous, and only killed the direct descendants of the Lu family." Everyone pointed and talked.
Someone secretly approached Wen Ning.
"As long as you crawl under his crotch, he will present the memorial for you, how about that?" a servant said with a smile.
Wen Ning's hair was scattered on his temples and he bit his lips, not sure whether it was because of the cold or hatred.
"Are you serious?"
"The Xu family is innocent. Please save them. I will get out of here, I will get out of here..."
Wen Ning knelt in the snow, and amid the laughter of the crowd, he crawled under that humiliating crotch.
Streams of light yellow warm currents flowed down from the top of the head.
The stench was so bad that everyone laughed even more wildly.
"That's it. You still want to hand in a petition? Brothers, pull her down."
"Miss Jingyao has said that the Wen family will be exiled to Lingnan tomorrow." Everyone laughed happily and dragged the terrified and screaming Wen Ning into the alley.
"No no! No!"
"don't want!"
"No, you will not die well, you will not die well." Wen Ning's piercing voice rang out in the alley, and countless evil laughs were heard from inside.
Lu Zhengyue was like a figure, waving his fists at everyone like a madman.
Let Wen Ning go, let Wen Ning go.
He heard Wen Ning's desperate cries and watched them tear his clothes to pieces.
"Ah!!" Lu Zhengyue woke up from his dream with sweat all over his forehead.
His heart was beating like thunder, and he was filled with sadness, anger, and despair, and he was shaking uncontrollably.
Wen Ning!
Wen Ning! !
His Wen Ning!
It was not a dream. All of this was not a dream. It was the original trajectory of his fate after he chose Su Zhiqing.
This would have been his original fate without Chao Chao.
Lu Zhengyue shed tears. How much suffering had his Wen Ning endured?
He was walking in the snow without shoes or socks, with his hair loose and wearing only a shirt, as he ran to the next door.
The Lu family and the Wen family were originally neighbors. When Wen Ning was a child, he chased after him and secretly left a small door.
But later, when the Wen family went out, the small door was locked.
At this moment, he nervously found the key, opened the small door, and ran towards Wen Ning.
This time, he would hold Wen Ning's hand tightly and never let go.
No matter what the law of nature is or what fate is, it will not let go of Wen Ning's hand.
He wants to spend his whole life to repay Wen Ning's kindness.
Lu Chaochao was unaware of this. She was just a baby who ate and slept.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Chaochao went back to her parents' home with Xu.
On the third day of the New Year, Marquis Zhongyong changed into his official uniform early and prepared to go to court.
The Beizhao New Year only lasts for five days, three days before the New Year, two days after the New Year, and three days for the Lantern Festival.
Emperor Xuanping was diligent in his work and was considered a good emperor.
Lu Yuanze walked on the snow and entered the palace in his official uniform.
When they meet colleagues along the way, they will stop and say to each other: "Happy New Year, congratulations."
"Happy New Year, congratulations." Wish for good luck.
Lu Yuanze wondered in his heart, would it be his turn to get promoted this time?
There was a faint smile on his brow.
He stood outside the Golden Palace with all the officials, waiting for the eunuch to summon him into the palace.
"Sir Lu, you will be promoted this time. I, Wang, would like to congratulate Sir Lu in advance..." Some adults even congratulated him in advance.
Lu Yuanze: "I am still waiting for His Majesty to promote me."
He may be humble in words, but he is happy in his heart.
Everyone entered the Golden Palace in an orderly manner according to their official positions.
As soon as Lu Yuanze stepped into the Golden Throne Hall, he heard a majestic voice from the high platform saying, "Loyal and Brave Marquis, go stand outside the hall."
? ? ? ! ! !
Lu Yuanze looked confused.
He, accepting bribes, was discovered?
He has a mistress and it’s revealed?
The mistakes made by General Zhongyong went over in his mind a hundred times!
I felt anxious and uneasy.
The emperor looked at the bright red nail polish on his hands that could not be scraped off and became furious.
"Bei Zhao is the most respected. You entered the palace with your right foot. What? Are you still counting on me to respect you?"
The third day of the Lunar New Year.
The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was reprimanded by the emperor for stepping his right foot into the palace.
His promotion flew by.
