Chapter 182 Asking for retribution
Qian Zixu stood there, still a little dazed. He looked around, unable to adapt to the rapid change of the scene.
He looked at King Xuan.
King Xuan sat as firm as a mountain, without any emotion at all. Not to mention any anger or displeasure, his face was ruined...
Does Princess Xuan know how to cast poison?
Qian Zixu turned his head with a headache and looked at the dancing girl on the other side.
The dancers were shivering and didn't understand what was happening at all. They just hugged each other and sat down next to each other.
Qian Zixu simply ignored it and stood aside silently with his head lowered.
"Greetings to His Highness King Xuan." A female voice was heard.
Her voice was of a young age, and it sounded pleasant even though it wasn't sweet.
Qian Zixu followed the sound.
I saw a young woman in a white dress, holding Mu Li in her hand, standing there with a graceful figure.
Her dress was simple, with only a bun and a light-colored hair tie.
The hairband moves with the wind.
There is a kind of beauty that is overwhelming.
This is Lu's daughter.
Qian Zixu's heart suddenly became calmer.
That woman was Lu Shuyi.
She then said, "Your Highness doesn't seem to be surprised at all that I'm here."
King Xuan did not answer her words, and only said: "Where is the old friend's talk?"
Lu Shuyi lowered his eyes and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness and I have met three or four times, and we met once more at the Xu family's flower viewing banquet that day. Doesn't it count as... old friends?"
"Are you reminding me that you spoke out to save the princess?" King Xuan's tone was lukewarm.
"How dare you ask for repayment? I just thought that maybe the princess needs me..."
When she mentioned the word "princess", she felt a little uncomfortable.
She never expected that Xue Qingyin would take this position so quickly.
"Your Highness should know that with my background, I have been brought up in the way of a high-ranking mistress since childhood. And in the princess's family... Xue, no, Mrs. Xu has never been good at this, and everyone in the capital knows it.
"I'm not saying this to be mean to Mrs. Xu, I'm just thinking that the princess may need someone like me to help her." Lu Shuyi continued to speak sincerely.
She has really lost a lot of weight in the past few days, and her beautiful face looks a little more pitiful.
She raised her eyes to look at King Xuan and lowered her body very low.
"She doesn't need to learn this." King Xuan's voice sounded.
Lu Shuyi looked stunned.
Even Qian Zixu couldn't help but turn his head suddenly, thinking that no wonder Princess Xuan was so wild.
"Why..." Lu Shuyi reluctantly found her voice, "If His Highness really loves her, shouldn't he carefully consider his plans for her?"
"She doesn't like it." King Xuan only said four words.
Lu Shuyi smiled helplessly: "Your Highness, do you know that your indulgence will also harm her?"
"What is connivance? What is conspiracy? There are many people in this world who are doing things that make them sad in the name of good for them." King Xuan's eyes were slightly cold, "You are out of line."
Lu Shuyi knelt down with a plop, but still said: "Has His Highness asked her? Maybe she also wants to be a better princess?"
"What? I am the one who sleeps with you, so I don't know her as well as you do, right?" King Xuan's tone was cold, and he was really angry now.
Qian Zixu wonders, you seem to be jealous in the wrong place!
"Shu Yi doesn't dare." Lu Shuyi said in a deep voice.
But there was clearly a bit of stubbornness written on her face. She seemed determined to finally fight for herself.
"You were born in the Lu family, you have seen all the wealth, power and status, and you are self-reliant on your intelligence. You can't see that among the high walls and red tiles, there are rules and shackles that bind people, and eventually they all become the same shape.
You like it, but she doesn’t like it, and I don’t like it either.”
"How can it be a frame?" Lu Shuyi argued excitedly, "Since the sages wrote Zhou Zhou Rites, the distinction between scholar-bureaucrats and common people has only been established in the world. Only then has the way of a gentleman been established, and only then can there be etiquette that can be followed."
Qian Zixu had a strange look on his face and couldn't help but listen attentively, as if he wanted to know who was talking about the "right way".
Prince Xuan just gave Lu Shuyi a cold look and asked her, "Why don't you want to be a Taoist nun?"
"I……"
"These are the rules imposed on you, why do you refuse to abide by them?"
"I...I didn't know that I made a mistake from beginning to end. I didn't make a mistake, but I ended up like this. Naturally, I don't accept it..."
"What are rules? When they are in the hands of others, and they say you are wrong, you are wrong. Don't you understand this truth?"
Lu Shuyi looked stunned and was speechless for a moment.
"You yourself are unwilling to admit defeat, but on the contrary, you want to cut off other people's pride and ask others to accept the same discipline as you. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
Lu Shuyi was completely speechless.
I just felt like the skin all over my body was tingling.
"There is only one Princess Xuan. Whether she is arrogant or naughty, she does not need to be groomed by anyone." Prince Xuan seemed a little impatient, so he stood up and went to pick up Xue Qingyin.
"But the world...can it tolerate her?"
"If we can't tolerate that day, I will be dead."
Lu Shuyi's figure suddenly weakened, and she did not speak again.
King Xuan didn't say anything either.
They all underestimated Xue Qingyin.
Even on the day he died, she would probably only be obedient on the outside, but inside she would be a living light. That light would never be integrated into this world.
King Xuan walked forward, and when he reached the gate of the garden, he paused and said indifferently: "One more thing. After the Xu family's flower-appreciation banquet, I ordered someone to arrive at the Lu Mansion with the reward, and informed the man that you If you meet a young master from another family in the capital, you can ask Taoist Lingxi to change your fate and give you a Taoist marriage... But it seems today that the Lu family has not informed you of this."
Lu Shuyi stayed there and moved his lips, but still couldn't say anything.
She knows her parents and relatives very well.
They love him, but they love this huge family even more.
He didn't tell her, just because he thought she still had some fate with King Xuan and still had room for plotting.
But no one expected that the emperor would issue an order to make Xue Qingyin the royal concubine so quickly.
Lu Shuyi was not the only one who was feeling complicated at this moment.
Qian Zixu secretly bit his molars and cursed a few times in his heart.
...Wang Xuan is still a lover?
So how to do this?
What to do!
When King Xuan went to the door, he saw Xue Qingyin arriving late.
A group of officials knelt down and then bowed: "I have seen Princess Xuan."
Xue Qingyin stuck her head out and said with a smile: "I have traveled to many prefectures and counties, but I have never been greeted with such enthusiasm by you."
After hearing this, everyone felt dizzy, their faces turned red, and they felt guilty.
