But why is Ruolan in Prince Wei's Mansion? After being stunned, Lu Hongming couldn't help but look at Huo Zhun, who was sitting in the main seat.
Huo Zhun noticed Lu Hongming's gaze, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and his eyes looked scrutinizing, "Lu Yuanwailang has been looking at me, but do you have anything to say?"
Lu Hongming looked at the powerful and handsome man in front of him, and suddenly thought of his bravery when he led his troops into the Huns' court last winter. How could such a country's mainstay and national hero kidnap his fiancée? Thinking like this, he said gently, "In the future, Hongming will work as an errand in the household department, and he will definitely fulfill his duties and share your worries."
Huo Zhun did not expect that Lu Hongming would show kindness to him. He paused for a moment and then said, "I hope you will always remember what you said today."
The orchid fragrance on Huo Zhun's body became weaker and weaker. Lu Hongming just thought that he missed Pei Ruolan too much and just had an illusion. He picked up the wine cup and toasted Huo Zhun. Then he sat quietly and listened to Gong Ling's company. happy.
In the main room, Pei Ruolan, who heard the conversation between the two clearly, couldn't help but clenched the tea cup in her hand. Hong Ming was actually working as an errand in the household department in charge of Huo Zhun? Is this a coincidence or Huo Zhun's operation? If it was the latter, given his hostility towards Hong Ming, Hong Ming would be in danger.
Thinking that the young man who was as gentle as jade and as straight as a cypress might be trapped by Luo Zhi in the near future, and his life would be in danger, Pei Ruolan hated Huo Zhun, but secretly hoped that he would accept the love of Princess Chenghui, so that he would have protection.
At this time, during the banquet, Princess Chenghui was also thinking about how to attract Lu Hongming's attention and make him fall in love with her. She happened to see that he was very interested in the music played by Gong Ling, so she volunteered to Huo Zhun, "Brother Wei Wang doesn't want to use his heart to entertain everyone, so why not let me perform a show for everyone?"
Huo Zhun looked at Princess Chenghui for a moment, then raised his hand gracefully, "Since the princess is so interested, then it's up to you."
Princess Chenghui winked at the maid, who quickly sent a Tao Xun over. Princess Chenghui stood at the table and blew the Tao Xun in the direction of Lu Hongming. She played "Fighting Typhoon" , majestic and grand, everyone present was not good at music. Before their eyes, there was a scene of thousands of miles of yellow sand in the Gobi Desert and the vigorous scenes of gold and iron horses.
At the most passionate moment, Princess Chenghui abandoned Tao Xun, took the long sword thrown by the maid, and performed a sword dance with an elegant posture. Her body was flexible and flexible, as graceful as a giant, as graceful as a swimming dragon. Effortlessly attracting everyone's attention.
After the dance, everyone was still immersed in the atmosphere she created, but she clapped her hands vigorously and said loudly, "I am personally here to cheer you up. Shouldn't you, the future pillars of the country, express your gratitude?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a maid came over with a tray. Huo Zhun was the first to throw down a jade pendant from his waist. He was the first to set an example. The other Jinshi also took their valuable accessories and put them on the tray. Lu Hongming was the last one. He took out the A purse, and a piece of silver was poured out of the purse and placed on the tray.
Upon seeing this, Princess Chenghui raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "The Jinshi next to me gives him the most valuable things. Mr. Lu is too stingy. Don't you look down on me?"
Lu Hongming stood up with the hem of his robe and raised his hands, "If the princess feels that these ten taels of silver are too little, she can wait until the official returns to the palace and then send another hundred taels of gold to Prince Zhong's Mansion."
Huo Zhun looked thoughtfully at the purse in his hand and the jade pendant on his waist, and reconciled with a smile, "She is not short of money, she just wants to get some luck. If Lu Yuanwailang is reluctant to part with the jade pendant, he will give the purse in his hand to She also made it happen.”
"Brother Wei Wang is saying that this princess just wants to get a lucky draw from everyone, and I am not greedy for your money. Mr. Lu, are you willing to use the purse in your hand as a lucky draw?"
Everyone at the banquet looked at Lu Hongming with different expressions. In the main room, Pei Ruolan also looked at Lu Hongming through the window. She was not only afraid that he would not agree and would displease Huo Zhun and Princess Chenghui and lose her protection, but she was also afraid that he would agree and give away the first token she gave him easily.
Lu Hongming's expression was calm. His eyes swept across everyone present, and finally landed on Princess Chenghui's face. He said politely and ruthlessly, "I'm sorry, whether it's this purse or the jade pendant around my waist, I'm sorry. I won’t regard them as lucky gifts, because they are gifts from Xiaguan’s fiancée, and they are the things Xiaguan cherishes most in his heart.”
"Is this given to you by Pei's daughter?" Princess Chenghui was a little surprised, and then asked, "Didn't the marriage between the Lu and Pei families be cancelled?"
Lu Hongming looked firm and said, "I will only recognize Miss Pei as my wife in this life. Unless I die violently, I will never give up!"
His words were as steady as a rock, and everyone at the table fell silent.
In the main room, Pei Ruolan covered her mouth with tears streaming down her face. She happened to miss Huo Zhun's cold, hair-raising eyes when he looked at her.
Bang bang bang." After looking away, Huo Zhun gave high fives one after another and looked at Princess Chenghui, "Since Mr. Lu is examining these two things like that, Princess Chenghui shouldn't embarrass him. After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Hongming again, "Lu Yuanwailang is very passionate about his fiancée. I hope your fiancée can be like you. The pampas grass is as tough as silk and the rock is unshakable." "
The words seemed to be nice, but Lu Hongming felt awkward in his heart when he listened to them, and he only nodded slightly.
In the afternoon, after the banquet dispersed, Huo Zhun stood in the atrium and glanced towards the main room, but did not see Pei Ruolan.
Thinking of Lu Hongming's performance at the banquet, he snorted coldly and walked towards the study. As soon as he entered the study, he told Du Lin, "Call Sang Yun over."
Du Lin was ordered to retreat. After a while, Sang Yun came in from the outside tremblingly.
Lu Hongming put his hands on the table and glanced at her coldly, "Tell me carefully about Miss Pei's performance today. If you hide anything, you will be careful about the lives of your whole family!"
