Chapter 140 The Princess is also an ungrateful person
Lu Enyan knew that he couldn't hide these things from his mother, so he was calm.
"I've already told the Empress Dowager that if I'm lucky enough to be cured and we develop a genuine bond, then she'll consider it. I've been on the brink of death since I was a child, and she's filled with hatred. I shouldn't let these things stop her."
Princess Duan nodded, knowing that he hadn't said something, probably to leave her some room.
"Well, that's fine with you."
They did not further explore this issue.
The day of the palace banquet finally arrived. On that day, all court officials took a collective rest. The general of the Gu family returned, and the emperor attached great importance to him.
Some ministers have received the news that not only General Gu, but also the second prince Lu Enlian who was on the border of Dayu has returned.
Someone even specifically told the daughter at home to dress up nicely, not to make any mistakes today, and to strive for the opportunity to show off.
After all, the eldest prince is obviously the future crown prince, and they dare not hope to become the future royal family, but they can still strive for the position of the second prince's wife.
When the Gu family entered the palace, all the palace maids and eunuchs were extremely respectful, after all, they knew the importance of this family.
When the Zhou family arrived, although the palace servants had no way to say anything, their attitude was obviously cold, especially the eunuchs who were good at yin and yang. Their tone made Zhou Zhili angry.
When Zhou Yuqi saw Gu Ruanci, he was stunned.
She was dressed so beautifully today, and looked more and more like the mother in her memory.
That year, he was only eight years old.
Seeing him stop and stare at her, Gu Ruanci's contemptuous eyes hurt Zhou Yuqi's expression.
He hastily averted his gaze, even mocking himself for how cheap he had just been.
After saying so many hurtful words to my sister, I now expect him to forgive me with just a look I think is affectionate?
He followed the Zhou family to where they were supposed to go, remaining silent.
When Lu Wenxue came over to say hello, he ignored her.
"What's wrong with him?" Lu Wenxue was a little unhappy.
Zhou Qinzhu quickly explained, "Wenxue, don't bother with my third brother. His fingers still haven't recovered, and the Luqiqin doesn't belong to him. And yet, everyone in the Zhou family is attending today to watch Senior Qin Ji, who once defeated her, perform with the Luqiqin. With all these setbacks, he hasn't slept in days..."
Lu Wenxue immediately calmed down and said, "That's nothing. He's the son of a marquis, so even if he can't play the qin anymore, his life won't be bad. Speaking of which, Qinzhu, have you found out why that qin girl is related to the Gu family?"
"Didn't Gu Yutang save her before? And she admires the Gu family personally, but these have nothing to do with us."
Zhou Qinzhu actually felt unbalanced, but couldn't show it.
Seeing her pretending to be indifferent, Lu Wenxue secretly laughed in her heart, but did not expose her and continued to play dumb: "I just don't believe it, I can't figure it out. Anyway, your third brother won't compete with me for Luqi, I must get it."
Zhou Qinzhu knew that she would not be honest, so she pretended to advise: "Wenxue, this is in the palace after all, so let's not do it..."
"Why?"
After Lu Wenxue asked, she left without expecting any answer from Zhou Qinzhu.
Because she saw the second prince Lu Enlian, whom she had not seen for several years.
"Second cousin, you're really back!"
Lu Enlian has not been in Dizhou in recent years. He has been stationed on the border of Dayu where the temperature is relatively high. He is very tanned, but his body is very strong. Even when wearing the complicated clothes of a prince, his muscle lines can still be seen.
Many unmarried women looked at the legendary prince in the army and wanted to see him for themselves.
Lu Enlian is already very handsome, and he has become more mature in recent years.
However, some noble ladies were put off by his skin color and preferred fair-skinned gentlemen.
The person who came with him was Lu Hanyue. Ever since Lu Enlian came back, Lu Hanyue was very happy. They were really siblings.
After everyone greeted each other, Lu Enlian went to Gu Yutang on purpose.
The two men admired each other. Both were military generals, and now they were guarding the borders respectively. They played a stabilizing role in the stability of Dayao, and it was extremely difficult for them to meet each other under normal circumstances.
This palace banquet is really rare.
Lu Wenxue felt a little uncomfortable being left out, and there was a constant haze in her eyes. When she saw Lu Enyan appear and having a good chat with Lu Enlian, the resentment in her heart reached its peak.
Lu Ennan, who was standing next to her, felt that she had too much negative energy and quickly patted her.
"Don't worry, haven't these situations been anticipated in advance?"
Lu Wenxue finally came to her senses, changed her clothes and smiled.
"Yes, shouldn't we have gotten used to it by now? Besides Father and Mother, who would really take us, two illegitimate children, seriously? Even the eldest princess, whose mother is deceased and who was raised by the Empress herself, is not a legitimate child after all."
Lu Ennan quickly said, "If you shout any louder, your mother's wish will never come true in this lifetime."
"I know. I've already vented my anger. Okay, I'm going to go say hello to the princess..."
After Lu Shuyi embarrassed Gu Ruanci last time, she hasn't held any banquets for a while.
The Lu family was probably not very satisfied with her performance last time, after all, she had offended the Gu family.
"Meet the Princess..."
Lu Wenxue found her allies, or fellow patients.
Lu Shuyi's mood relaxed a lot. She had been very depressed during this period. After the last incident, the Queen Mother specially summoned her to the palace to warn her once, which made her even more dissatisfied.
Sure enough, no matter how good they pretended to be when they were young, it was useless. Now, a mere Princess Chaoyang can make them reveal who they are biased towards.
Between themselves and the minister's daughter, they chose the latter.
The Queen Mother did not mention Gu Ruanci's identity as the Little Medical Fairy to her, but only gently reminded her to be careful, as she might be blessed with children in the future. However, to Lu Shuyi, the Queen Mother was mocking her difficulty in having children.
After meeting Lu Wenxue today, she was finally able to release her emotions.
"I heard that Qin Ji will be performing on stage today on behalf of the Gu family, and she will be using Luqi. How are you feeling?"
Lu Shuyi's first sentence made Lu Wenxue certain that they still disliked Gu Ruanci.
"There's nothing I can do about it. I can't take it by force, or it will bring trouble to my father."
Lu Wenxue said this deliberately, wanting to hear Lu Shuyi's attitude.
Finally, Lu Shuyi said, "Have you forgotten that only Father and Grandmother owe Uncle Wang anything? Uncle Wang has never owed them anything."
