"Ozawa, are you mistaken?"
In the pavilion, Lu Dingbang spoke in confusion.
He met Xu Sanyuan before Dakang was founded.
But I have never heard old man Xu say that there are sisters at home.
My younger brother does have one.
Seeing his father's doubts, Lu Shaoze further confirmed what he was thinking.
Xu Sanyuan deliberately concealed this matter!
Your Majesty probably doesn't know either.
After much thought, he decided to inform his father about Wen Shuyu's identity.
Look what dad would do!
Just say what comes to mind.
Then, he spoke out all the information he knew about Wen Shuyu.
But after listening to his son's story, Lu Dingbang was a little confused.
Even the court has not received any news about the affairs of Fenghua Kingdom, but this little bastard of his own has no clue?
And he actually knows her and knows the identity of her eldest daughter?
After staying at home for so many years, haven’t you gone anywhere?
Could it be that he has clairvoyance and ears?
"How do you know this?"
"Huh, don't worry about how the child knew it, just think about what to do next?"
"Yes, you are right!"
What if His Majesty were to learn that Xu Sanyuan had a sister who was a concubine in Fenghua Kingdom for all these years? ?
But he can't deceive His Majesty!
For a moment, Lu Dingbang held his forehead in thought, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
This matter is a bit difficult to handle!
On one side is His Majesty, on the other is a long-time friend.
It's really sad. .
…
It was drizzling outside the pavilion.
rain
Gradually getting smaller!
"Let's do this, write a letter to my father and ask your subordinate to go to Xu Mansion!"
After all, she is an old friend and niece, so she can help.
As for that girl's identity, it won't be revealed to anyone for a while, so there should be no worries for the time being.
What to do, you still have to ask old man Xu for his opinion first!
Lu Shaoze nodded and turned around to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
But at this moment.
But the housekeeper Lu Saner hurried over and said in a low voice:
"My lord, your eldest son, someone is coming from the palace!"
As soon as Lu San'er said these words, the father and son immediately looked at each other and then nodded lightly.
The people coming from the palace are definitely not here to warm Shuyu.
After all, no one knew about it.
Since it is not for Wen Shuyu, there are two possibilities.
It seems that the person is looking for one of them, father and son!
"Let's go and follow my father to see the messenger."
Lu Dingbang greeted him and took the lead to walk out of the house.
Lu Shaoze thought for a moment and then followed.
It doesn't hurt to go take a look, maybe it's just for you?
…
Outside the residence of Duke Dingguo.
At this time, there were several young eunuchs standing at the gate intently.
They have not crossed the threshold of the Duke's Mansion!
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I don’t dare.
As the first-class founding Duke of the country, Duke Dingguo, except for imperial edicts or the emperor's personal arrival, anyone who wants to enter must be notified.
Even the emperor's oral instructions are the same.
This is an honor given to the Lu family by the emperor today. In the past ten years, no one has dared to break the rules!
"Hey, it turns out that it's Eunuch Zheng who is here in person? I'm so far away from you, I hope you can forgive me~"
Lu Dingbang said hello when he was far away.
But what he said shocked Eunuch Zheng.
As a close servant of the emperor, he is the imperial father-in-law who holds the title of third-grade official.
He knows better than anyone else the importance of the man in front of him in the emperor's heart!
He couldn't bear the accusation.
"Mr. Lu Guo, you have killed this slave. If someone with a heart listens to these words, even if the slave has ten heads, it won't be enough to chop him off!"
"Father-in-law, you are so humble. Please come to the palace to invite me."
"San'er, prepare tea~"
It seems that these people are here to deliver His Majesty's instructions, so they definitely don't know how to drink tea.
Lu Dingbang just said politely.
As expected, Eunuch Zheng immediately waved his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, you are very polite. Your Majesty's business is the most important thing. We will not drink tea at home."
"His Majesty has decreed that Lu Shaoze, the crown prince of the country, will enter the palace to meet the emperor."
"Prince Lu, let's leave quickly. Your Majesty is still waiting for you in the Yangxin Palace?" Eunuch Zheng urged.
Then he looked at the young man next to him.
I haven’t seen him for many years. I didn’t expect this boy from Dingguo Gong’s family to have grown so big?
He is tall, handsome, and a good boy!
Lu Shaoze on the side didn't know that the eunuch in front of him was praising himself.
I just heard that the emperor was looking for me, and I felt a little reluctant.
I have kept a low profile for so many years just because I don’t want to enter that court.
Unexpectedly, I was actually appointed to the palace by His Majesty today?
What a sin!
But even if you are extremely reluctant, you still have to face it with a smile!
"My father-in-law will wait a moment. I have just returned home from outside the city. My body is very wet. I will change my clothes and follow my father-in-law into the palace."
"Young Master Lu is interested, so why not our family wait a little longer? Haha."
"Wait a moment."
Say hello and Sayazi runs away.
It's like, how exciting is it for him to enter the palace?
This scene naturally fell into Eunuch Zheng's eyes.
You can see him nodding his head frequently!
And Lu Shaoze didn't make people wait too long.
After exchanging a few words and changing into clean plain clothes, he hurried back outside the house.
"Eunuch Zheng, let's go?"
"Okay, Your Majesty, please come first."
"Father-in-law, please come first."
"Prince first."
The two had a long conversation, but Eunuch Zheng finally took the lead.
I really can’t resist it!
During the whole process, Lu Shaoze didn't even look at his father.
Lu Dingbang didn't mind either. Seeing his son walking away, he shook his head and returned to his house.
"You don't have to worry about me, you bastard. I'd better go back and write a letter..."
…
the other side.
After following Eunuch Zheng out of the house, Lu Shaoze originally thought that there would be a carriage to pick him up, and at the very least there should be a sedan, right?
But it turns out it depends on two legs!
Although, the imperial palace is not far from Lu Mansion.
But the problem is that the palace is huge!
In addition, it was still raining at the moment. By the time they reached the Nourishing Heart Hall, it wouldn't be half an hour?
"Father-in-law, shall we walk into the palace?"
"Uh, Your Majesty, are you tired? Why don't you let us carry you for a while?"
Eunuch Zheng was also a little speechless.
You've only walked a few steps and you feel tired?
I have heard before that the prince Dingguo was infected with wind and cold when he was young, and his bones were a little weak.
But I didn't expect it to be so empty?
"My father-in-law is joking, how can I be such a hypocritical person?"
"It's okay. Although our family doesn't have much ability, it is still feasible to carry the crown prince to the palace gate."
"Do you really want to carry it?"
"real!"
"Okay~"
Lu Shaoze was not polite and jumped directly onto Eunuch Zheng's back.
Don't tell me, is this old eunuch still a master?
He was suddenly attacked, but he didn't panic at all. He stretched out his hand and stabilized Lu Shaoze's body.
Then he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you have a bad appetite? This weight is too light. We still have some sweets at home. Your Majesty must bring them with you when you leave the palace."
"Then thank you father-in-law first."
"By the way, father-in-law, why does Your Majesty want me?"
