"Dear fellow villagers, brothers and sisters, I am here for the first time in Guibao. Because I ran out of money, I am doing a show here. I hope that the rich can help you make money, and the poor can help you!"
"..."
"Come, come, come, authentic linen, high quality, cheap~"
"Young and old men, take a look, take a look, it's fresh..."
Although the West Market is a gathering place for poor people, it is very lively.
Jugglers, vendors selling stalls, etc.
Tea houses, wine shops, butcher shops, foot shops, etc. are all available.
Walking among the bustling crowd, Lu Shaoze couldn't help but smile.
There are too many rules in the house, but it is better for him outside.
"Master, please wait here for a moment. I will tie up the horse and come back soon."
Because there were too many pedestrians ahead, the carriage could no longer pass, so Fuji had no choice but to find a place to store the carriage.
Lu Shaoze nodded and stopped at a place where monkeys were playing.
Strangely enough, he had been in the West Market for a while, but he had not encountered any trouble.
Not to mention looking for trouble, I haven't encountered any heroic acts of righteousness!
"Is this prince not born to be the protagonist?"
He muttered to himself without thinking much, and just concentrated on watching the monkey show.
However, not long after, Fuji left and returned, and there was another person following him.
Seeing that person, Lu Shaoze's mood turned from sunny to cloudy!
"No, Lu San'er, why are you still haunted?"
He is very familiar with this person. He is the chief steward of Dingguo Palace and his father's right-hand man!
But I just came to West Market, and I haven’t even had a good stroll around yet, and this guy is here?
What a disappointment!
Seeing that his eldest son looked unkind, Lu San'er could only salute forcefully.
"Well, young master, you have wronged your subordinates. The master is back and has ordered his subordinates to pick you up."
"I know, you go back first!"
With a casual remark, Lu Shaoze turned around and planned to run away.
Come back!
Unexpectedly, Lu San'er immediately stepped in front of him and stood in front of him.
"Young Master, there is a distinguished guest at home. The master has ordered that you must be taken back."
"For the sake of your loyal subordinates, how about you do this?"
As Lu San'er spoke, he nuzzled his lips in the direction of the palace.
It is self-evident where the distinguished guest comes from.
Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to stop his young master!
"Dignified guest?"
This is a bit strange.
Looking at the whole territory of Dakang, there are only a few people who can be called a distinguished guest by the old man.
Coupled with what Lu San'er pointed out, Lu Shaoze quickly made a decision in his mind.
"Could it be that that one is here?"
He had a suspicion in his mind, and he wasn't fooling around.
Immediately ordered Fuji to take the horse home.
But what Lu Shaoze couldn't figure out was, if that person really came, why would he be asked to go back?
But if it wasn't that person, who in the palace would it be?
"Huh~ Dad, dad, I hope you don't cheat me, otherwise I will run away from home and go to the world and never come back!"
The entire journey was silent.
…
The carriage returned very quickly.
As soon as noon arrived, they stopped outside the Duke's mansion.
Lu Shaoze got out of the car after tidying up his appearance in the car.
After all, we are meeting distinguished guests, so we must not lose our etiquette.
"I've met the young master."
"No gift~"
"Young Master, I'm waiting in the front hall. Go quickly."
"Okay~"
Along the way, maids and servants were everywhere saluting.
Lu Shaoze walked hurriedly towards the front hall and took the trouble to greet everyone.
Not long after, we arrived at the front lobby.
I also saw the so-called distinguished guest in Lu San'er's mouth.
That is a young man with bright eyes and white teeth!
The young man is not very old, only thirteen or fourteen years old.
But with the python robe added to his body, he showed his majesty.
Wu'an?
The Dakang royal family’s surname is Wu!
Although today's emperor has only been on the throne for only ten years, he has many descendants.
Nine princes and two princesses are considered a blessing to the royal family.
But these children are still too young now, and there are only two who are over ten years old.
They are the eldest prince Wu Yuan and the second prince Wu An!
Although Lu Shaoze has never been to the palace since he grew up, he has still seen the portraits of the princes.
Therefore, he could recognize at a glance that the person sitting in the hall was none other than the current second prince Wu An!
But why is this guy coming to his house?
If you don’t understand it, just stop thinking about it.
After straightening his clothes and putting on a harmless smile, he slowly walked into the lobby.
"The child has seen his father. I wonder why the father called the child here?"
"Huh? Who is this?" Lu Shaoze asked in confusion, pretending to be surprised.
"You bastard, you are not doing anything right day by day. Please meet the Second Prince quickly."
If anyone in the world understands Lu Shaoze better, it is definitely Duke Dingguo.
This guy recognized his identity as soon as he walked in, and he's still pretending to be here?
But as for his own children, he was happy to cooperate.
"Huh? Second prince?"
"Shaoze has met His Highness."
Lu Shaoze looked shocked, as if he had just come to his senses.
He quickly bowed politely.
"Young Master Shao Ze doesn't pay any courtesy, so please don't blame me for visiting here without permission!"
Wu An looked at the young man in front of him up and down, the more he looked, the happier he became.
This was not the first time he had met Lu Shaoze, he had met him several times when he was a child.
But as he grew up, this guy became mysterious.
His father once asked him to go to the palace to accompany the prince, but he refused because he was ill and could not see the cold.
So far, this guy has never left the Duke's mansion.
The world knew very little about it, so Wu An was naturally curious.
"I didn't expect that Shaoze would turn out to be an extraordinary handsome young man after not seeing him for so many years. I wonder which girl will be able to please Shaoze in the future?"
"Hehe...hehe, Your Highness has given you too much praise. In my humble opinion, you are the best among men."
"Haha, each other."
"you are welcome."
The two of them were smiling at each other and complimented each other so much that the corners of Duke Ding's mouth twitched as he looked at them.
Today's young man is really a bit hypocritical.
Where can I be as magnanimous as myself?
"Your Highness, since you have something to discuss with Quan Zi, I will not interrupt you and take my leave."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Lu Dingbang finished speaking, Wu An stood up, waved his hand and said:
"It's not a big deal. Duke Lu doesn't need to avoid it."
"It's like this. I have made an appointment with three or five friends tomorrow to go to Fengshan Temple for an outing. I have come here to invite Shaoze to come with me. I wonder if Shaoze would like to go with me?"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Shaoze and his son seemed to look at ease, but they secretly exchanged a look.
Then, under Wu An's slightly expectant gaze, Lu Shaoze nodded.
"Since His Highness invites you, I can do whatever you want."
"Okay, then at midnight tomorrow, I will be waiting for Shaoze at the south gate, haha~"
"I am determined to be punctual."
Lu Shaoze agreed quickly, but he was a little wary in his heart.
Is this outing really just an outing?
"Okay, the words have been brought here. If I have anything else to do, I won't stay here. I'll take my leave."
"..."
