Seeing that his son was still stupid, the old general slapped him.
"It's time to take the order."
Lu Xun regained his composure and stretched out his hand respectfully, "I accept the order and thank you, long live the emperor."
After thanking him, the people in the General's Mansion got up from the ground.
After taking a look at the imperial edict in his son's hand, the old general walked up to Ji Wen and asked in a low voice: "Father-in-law, do you think this is a mistake?"
For the old general, Her Royal Highness the Princess deserves to be matched with a scholar who is as gentle as jade, not a rough and tumble guy like his son.
Ji Wen couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this, "Old General, don't worry, I'm not mistaken. The emperor himself drafted the imperial edict, and our family was here at the time. Old General, our family wishes you congratulations in advance."
After hearing this, the old general cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, I wish you the best."
"Then we won't disturb our family anymore, and we have to return to the palace to recover."
"Wait a minute, I got two jars of good wine a few days ago. I'll bring one jar back for you to try."
When Ji Wen heard about the good wine, Ji Wen's eyes lit up, and he just liked this drink.
When he went back, Ji Wen was holding the wine jar in his hand.
This is definitely a good wine. It is obviously a treasure of the old general. This is a big investment. Find a time later and drink it all.
Here, Lu Xun held the imperial edict and felt it was hot to his hands.
How could it be that he wanted to marry a princess?
Princess Zhaohua was a noble woman, but Lu Xun had never thought about it.
The old general glanced at his son and sighed, "I don't know what the emperor was thinking, why he chose you as the consort, and I can only wrong the princess."
Lu Xun: "..."
This is definitely his biological father.
"Come here, I have something to tell you."
"Yes, father."
Another person who also received the imperial edict was Daifu.
This imperial edict quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys at the speed of the wind. In just a short time, the entire streets and alleys knew that the two princesses were going to get married in the next year, and they also knew who the future consort would be.
Marrying a princess means becoming a relative of the emperor. There are many people who want to marry a princess, but there are only two who can marry a princess. Therefore, Lu Xun and the others have naturally become the envy and jealousy of many people. Of course.
, there are also some people who can’t eat grapes and say sour grapes. They are discussing whether the princess will give the prince a concubine in the future. Some people say that the prince-in-law will be pitiful in the future and can only live with the princess alone. He only cares about the women outside.
You can look at it but you can't eat it. In short, it has everything you need.
However, no matter what outsiders think, the marriage of the two princesses is already confirmed. They will get married after the new year.
Lu Xun was still unsure about marrying the princess. After thinking about it for two days, he decided to meet with the princess first. At least, he wanted to know what the princess thought.
Otherwise, I will feel uneasy.
…
Zhaohua Palace——
"Princess, General Lu wants to see you."
Zhaohua, who was swinging in the courtyard, paused and said, "You said he wanted to see this princess."
The guard who came to report nodded respectfully, "Yes, Your Highness the Princess."
As the princess's future consort, if he wants to see the princess, he can naturally do so with permission.
Zhaohua raised his hand and said, "Okay, let him come over."
The guard responded, "I'll go right away."
Seeing the guards leaving, Zhaohua continued: "Xia Chan, continue."
Xia Chan nodded respectfully: "It's the princess."
Next, Zhaohua continued to swing, with Xia Chan slowly pushing her behind her.
When Lu Xun arrived, he saw a girl in a red dress playing on a swing under a pomegranate tree in the distance. Princess Zhaohua was very beautiful, flamboyant and aloof.
Withdrawing his gaze, Lu Xun stepped forward and saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty, Lu Xun, see you, Your Highness."
Zhaohua stepped on the ground and stopped the swing.
Seeing the person coming, Zhaohua smiled and looked him up and down, "Lu Xun, your outfit today matches you quite well."
Lu Xun's heart was shaken.
The princess usually wouldn't praise him. Now, she was praising him like this. Lu Xun felt that the princess must have something in her words, and she must be angry when she looked at her smile. Maybe it was because she was unwilling to do so because of the marriage.
"Get up!"
"yes."
After saluting, Lu Xun stood there like a wooden stake, not knowing what to say for a long time.
"Didn't you ask to see me? Is there something wrong?"
After hearing the question, Lu Xun's palms became sweaty.
"I, I would like to ask the princess, what do you think of our marriage?"
Oh, so that’s what I was asking. Zhaohua stood up and walked towards him.
Seeing her walking in, Lu Xun subconsciously took a step back, feeling extremely nervous.
It's strange that my heartbeat is so fast.
This is very wrong.
After walking closer to him, Zhaohua stopped and said, "Well, let me ask you a few questions first."
Lu Xun nodded, "Princess, please tell me."
"What do you think of my princess's birth?"
Lu Xun took a look, his face heated up, "It looks good."
Zhaohua said sarcastically: "Then, after we get married, who will we listen to at home?"
Lu Xun said without hesitation: "Princess."
Zhaohua nodded, "Very good. This princess is very satisfied with this marriage."
Lu Xun couldn't believe it.
how come.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhaohua asked, "Any more questions?"
Lu Xun shook his head.
The princess is willing, so what questions does he have? Now he just wants to go back and drink two glasses of wine to calm down his shock.
"Remember this pomegranate tree?"
Lu Xun took a look and nodded, "Yes, remember."
Zhaohua pointed to the pomegranates hanging above and said, "Go up and pick off the top one for me."
Lu Xun looked up and nodded, "Okay, princess, please wait a moment."
Taking a step back, Lu Xun tapped his toes on the ground, flew up the tree, and went to pick pomegranates.
Under the pomegranate tree, Zhaohua looked at the man standing on the tree and couldn't help but laugh.
"Princess, is this it?"
"No, the one on the left."
"But this."
"No, keep to the right."
"That's this."
"No, move forward."
So, princess, which one should I pick? He lowered his head and glanced under the tree, and saw that she was looking at him and smiling. Lu Xun suddenly felt that he could do it again.
"Princess, is this it?"
"Yes, that's it. Take it off and give it to me."
"good."
After picking off the pomegranate, Lu Xun jumped down, reached out and handed the pomegranate to Zhaohua.
Zhaohua took it and patted it, "It's quite big."
Zhaohua stretched out his hand and tried to open it, hard, hard.
"Princess, how about I come here?"
Zhaohua handed the pomegranate over and said, "It depends on your ability. Break it in half."
The pomegranate was easily opened in his hand. At first glance, the pulp inside was crystal clear, making him want to eat it.
Zhaohua took it, bit into two pieces and ate them.
"It's very sweet. I'll give this half to you."
"Thank you, princess."
Zhaohua ate a few more pills. When he saw that he didn't want to eat them, he reminded him, "Why don't you eat them?"
Lu Xun: "I want to go back and eat."
"There are still a lot of them on the tree. I'll get a basket and pick some back later so that your mother and the others can have a taste."
