"What?!"
Spring flows, summer flows, autumn flows, winter flows, Cui Xin is stunned.
"A marriage of convenience?!"
"General Lu asks His Majesty to grant me marriage?!"
"The person General Lu asked His Majesty to grant him marriage to is a princess?"
"Princess, you still refuse!"
The four members of Liuchun each asked a question, and their tacit understanding seemed to be engraved in their DNA.
This made Cui Xin, who couldn't keep up with the pace, seem a little redundant.
He opened his mouth and then closed it.
Wen Yu: ...
She took a sip of tea and answered them one by one with a leisurely look: "First, it is an arranged marriage. Second, it is Lu Ren who asked the emperor to arrange the marriage. Third, the person Lu Ren asked the emperor to arrange the marriage is me, your princess. Fourth, I refused. That's all."
The four of them looked at each other in surprise when they heard this.
Liu Chun was confused and a little jealous: "Princess, how did you know that General Lu requested a marriage? You didn't go to the celebration banquet, and you didn't send us to get the news. Could it be that you have other confidants?"
Wen Yu: "Silly Chun, you have a very rich imagination."
"I have already said that I am a genius. Of course I calculated it with my fingers."
Liu Chun blinked: "Then why did the princess reject General Lu? General Lu would definitely be very sad if he knew."
Wen Yu ate melon seeds, leaned on the small table, and sighed faintly: "In this world, how can you not be sad when you talk about love?"
"Even the matchmaker will tie the wrong red string, and Cupid will always shoot the wrong person. It is reasonable for me to make him sad. I'm sure he will forgive me."
Liuchun: ...
Cui Xin, who was standing by, heard this and stared at the teacup that was slightly turning in Wen Yu's hand. Her eyes flickered slightly, with a hint of indescribable complexity.
What a bad woman she is. She always knows how to tease and play with men's hearts, but then discards them like a worn-out shoe after playing with them. She doesn't care at all and even thinks that what she does is reasonable!
How can there be such a woman in the world who is so unabashedly bad?
Liu Xia suddenly covered her eyes and said, "Princess, my eyelids have been twitching wildly. This seems to be a bad sign."
Wen Yu asked nonchalantly: "Left or right?"
"Back to the princess, on the left."
"If your left eye twitches, it means good fortune; if your right eye twitches, it means bad luck. Liuxia, you may have good luck soon."
Liu Xia added: "But Princess, my right eyelid has also started to twitch..."
"Oh." Wen Yu sat up a little straighter and said seriously, "The left eye twitching is for wealth, and the right eye twitching is the intermittent involuntary clonic twitching of the orbicularis oculi muscle and oculofacial nerve controlled by the brain."
Liu Xia:?
"Princess, I don't know why, but I always feel like something bad is going to happen..."
Wen Yu nodded when she heard this: "In that case, Liuchun, go out."
Liuchun was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "I will prepare the carriage to go to the palace now."
"Who said we were going to the palace?"
"Ah? Not going to the palace? Then where to go?"
Wen Yu raised her eyebrows: "Go find Yue Lingfeng."
Liuchun: ???
"Princess, are you going to find Master Yue now?"
Wen Yu crossed her arms and said, "Didn't Liu Xia have a premonition that something bad was going to happen? Why don't you go out and hide?"
Liuchun: ...
She was so naive that she thought the princess was going to the palace to see General Lu. After so long, she still couldn't figure out who was more important to the princess, General Lu or Master Yue.
But she soon remembered what Wen Yu once said, that everyone should be treated equally.
In the princess's words, this is so cool!
Cui Xin sneered in her heart after hearing the three words "Yue Lingfeng".
It turns out that Lu Ren is not the only bad woman...
He stared at Wen Yu's back as she left.
At this time, the palace servant had already returned to the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests with Wen Yu's answer.
As soon as he stepped in, he was met with the gazes of everyone in the hall. He held his breath and walked quickly to the emperor.
The ministers all looked towards the palace gate and saw that only one palace maid had returned. They felt a little strange. Where is the eldest princess? Didn't she come?
However, Lu Ren did not see Wen Yu and subconsciously clenched his fists.
His originally determined eyes flashed with a hint of uncertainty and confusion, but the next second he curled the corners of his lips in relief. Maybe the princess just didn't want to make a trip, but asked the palace servant to bring her reply.
This is consistent with the princess' usual temperament.
Thinking of this, Lu Ren looked up.
But the emperor was not surprised that Wen Yu did not come.
It would be strange if the imperial sister could come.
The voice of the palace maid sounded softly in his ears at this time: "Reporting to the emperor, the princess said she did not want to enter the palace and refused the marriage."
The emperor had expected this. This imperial sister, who only knew how to betray her brother all day long, not only used him as a shield for her philandering, but now left him with a mess. However, he simply refused, patted his butt and ignored everything, acting very carefree.
But how could he, as an emperor, go back on his word in front of all these ministers in the hall?
How could he say the word "rejection" to Lu Ren?
"General Lu, let's discuss the marriage later. I will give you a result after the celebration banquet."
As smart as Lu Ren was, when he heard the emperor's words, he instantly realized what Wen Yu's answer was.
The princess refused...
He clenched his fists, and his chest suddenly felt like it was pierced by a piece of solid ice. The sharp pain was accompanied by an immense chill that kept invading his heart, devouring his body temperature and blood.
He lowered his eyes and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he quietly returned to his seat, waiting absent-mindedly for the celebration banquet to end.
He was clearly the protagonist of the banquet, but at this moment he seemed like an exiled crystal man, as if he would shatter at the slightest touch.
The emperor looked at His Highness Lu Ren and sighed inwardly. Judging from his expression, he was definitely hurt.
The ministers looked at each other, wondering what was going on with today's marriage arrangement?
"Prime Minister Lin, do you know any inside information? Is this arranged marriage true or false?" The minister next to Lin Yuzhi asked, covering his lips.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuzhi took a sip of wine calmly and said in a light tone: "Master Zhang, you have overstepped the boundaries."
Lord Zhang's expression changed slightly. He was really confused. He actually asked about the Prime Minister.
After the celebration banquet, only the emperor and Lu Ren were left in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.
He sat in his original position, took a sip from the wine glass, and then asked, "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, what is the princess's answer?"
