The sound of broken thoughts reached everyone's ears, which was not only frightening, but also a little noisy!
The Queen Mother, who was sitting at the top, didn't realize until this moment that today's birthday banquet really lacked silk and bamboo singing and dancing.
Originally, she was supposed to be allowed to participate in these programs after the officials toasted. However, in order to hear Lu Xinran's voice clearly, she waved her hand to wait when the palace officials came to inquire about whether it was appropriate to perform music and dance.
Wait a minute, the birthday banquet is about to end.
The emperor turned his head and looked up. The queen mother coughed lightly and waved her hand to the palace attendant who came to ask for instructions again.
Outside the waterside pavilion, dancers who had been waiting for a long time walked in one after another holding musical instruments.
Lu Xinran held the glutinous rice wine and grinned.
[The wine is delicious, the dancing is beautiful, and the melons are delicious. It would be great if the Queen Mother could live her birthday every day. 】
Everyone: "..."
So do they still have a way to survive? !
Doesn’t everyone have to be exposed?
Zhang Shui'er looked over from a distance, met Lu Xinran's eyes, smiled and made a toast gesture.
[Should her mind be clearer? That big pervert, well, what's so good about it. 】
[It's a pity that General Qi has no heir, otherwise his son would be as handsome as he is. 】
Zhang Shui'er's hand holding the wine glass paused, feeling the looks of people around her, and her pretty face instantly turned red with embarrassment.
Lu Xinlan took the wine bowl from her hand expressionlessly, then raised his hand and patted her back gently.
"If you feel sleepy, go to sleep first. I'll ask Aunt Xu to wake you up later when the birthday party is over."
Don't drink too much and act like a drunkard in your mind. If General Qi finds out that there is a little girl who just got haircut far away in the capital and has been thinking about him, he will be scared to death.
Lu Xinran chuckled, "Sister, you don't know, the Queen and General Qi really have a good fight."
She got a little carried away by knocking on CP.
Lu Xinlan expressionlessly touched a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and stuffed it into her mouth.
Stop talking, the emperor's face was already extremely dark without looking at it.
Even though the queen and Qi Yu had not seen each other for more than 20 years and had not written a letter, the little composition in Lu Xinran's heart had already made the emperor feel green on his head.
Everyone around them pricked up their ears, wanting to hear some gossip, but they saw that Lu Xinran actually ate the snacks obediently, and then fell asleep on his lap.
He looks cute and well-behaved, not like a talkative person at all.
The inner voice completely disappeared, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Silk and bamboo music started to dance, and the waterside pavilion finally had the lively look that a banquet should have.
The joy on Lu Kangde's face could not be concealed, and he would not refuse anyone who came over to offer a toast.
Lu Jinchuan has already been promoted to the second rank. The highest official position that holds real power in the Chu Dynasty is the second rank. Most of the first rank is a vacuous position that sounds very prestigious but is actually powerless.
He is already one of the highest-ranking people in the court. He does not need to please anyone. If he wants to lick someone, he is licking the emperor.
So at this time, he just sat behind the desk, feeling the scrutiny and scrutiny of several other second-grade officials.
When Zhou Hanwen and his son looked here, their teeth almost broke.
"How could you let the Fang family mess around! If it hadn't been for that incident, how could the Lu family have been targeting us!"
Those who were targeted by that little girl from the Lu family today were all people who had some history with them.
This time, they were affected by the Fang family and suffered an unreasonable disaster.
Zhou Bingshan looked resentfully in the direction of the Lu family: "Father, you know how much benefits Fang has brought to the family over the years."
Zhou Bingshan didn't dare to think deeply about whether she had gotten together with her father.
His father has always been very greedy when it comes to men and women. If he hadn't been concerned about his official position and could not tarnish his image, the things he had done would not have been revealed until now.
"So you're blaming me?"
Zhou Han snorted coldly, "Your Majesty will not punish me, but you and I cannot continue to stay in the capital. A governor's job was vacated in Fuzhou a few days ago. You can go to Fuzhou with me." "
Zhou Bingshan's eyes still fell in the direction of the Lu family, "But the marriage between Jiamao and Zhengya has not been decided yet."
"Their marriage?" Zhou Hanwen turned to look at him, as if he didn't expect his son to have such an innocent side: "Do you think they can still find a good marriage in the capital? Take them to Fuzhou and others don't know what their mothers have done. Maybe I can also find a good match for them there.”
In the capital, who dares to marry their daughter into the Zhou family.
Zhou Hanwen didn't realize that he had done anything wrong. He only resented the Lu family for exposing his hobbies in public.
"But the tides are turning, and we will come back one day."
At that time, it will be time for the various prefectures in Beijing to kneel down and lick them again.
His eyes wandered around the princes near his superior. The queen had no children, and the adult princes were all on errands in the court.
The eldest prince is in the Ministry of War, the second prince is in the Ministry of Personnel, the third prince is in the Ministry of Household Affairs, the fourth prince is in the Shuntian Mansion, the fifth prince is in the Ministry of Punishment, and the sixth prince is in the Ministry of Rites.
All six adult princes have been entrusted with important responsibilities. In a few years, when the princes begin to compete for the throne, it will be time for him to return to the capital.
He picked up the wine glass and met Lu Jinchuan's gaze. He pulled the corners of his lips and made a toast gesture to him with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
Life is still a long road, and on the road with no end, anyone can be the winner until the last moment.
Zhao turned around and looked at the person who was already in Lu Xinlan's arms. She subconsciously wanted to curl her lips in disgust.
"Did she really fall asleep?"
"Well, mother, let me carry her out later."
"That won't work! What is your eldest brother's identity? There are all the women's families here today, and I want to take the opportunity to show your eldest brother his love."
Zhao refused almost without thinking, but Lu Yuanheng on the side turned sideways and looked at the little girl who fell in the arms of her eldest sister.
"Mom, Xinran is also my sister."
It has been almost a month since his biological sister returned home. He was told that he had never seen his biological sister, which was already very rude and made the little girl complain about him. How could he turn a blind eye to her anymore.
Moreover, if the two sisters get along so well, why should he be a bad guy who only loves one of them?
"Mom," seeing what Zhao was about to say, Lu Xinlan quickly interrupted her: "If the eldest brother doesn't even care about his biological sister, if word spreads, outsiders will gossip."
This sentence was like a lifeline, and immediately shut up Zhao.
She glared at the sleeping Lu Xinran angrily, said "I'll follow you", and turned back dullly.
Lu Yuanheng smiled and gave Lu Xinlan a thumbs up: "The little girl seems to have a lot of opinions about me. Would Xinlan help big brother think of a way to coax her?"
Lu Xinlan looked down at the sleeping guy with a flushed face, and whispered for a while.
"She is easy to coax. As long as you are sincerely nice to her, she will let go of her grudges and get close to you."
Lu Yuanheng was startled for a moment, looked at the little girl's soft hair, and sighed in response.
"Why did you both fall into the water before? Have you found out the reason?"
Lu Xinlan hesitated. There was no need to find out the reason. Both she and Lu Xinran knew the reason.
It's just that neither of them wants to mention it more, after all...it's not very honorable.
