Lin Yichen's words caused everyone's attention to instantly shift to Lu Zhiyao. Lu Zhiyao blinked awkwardly, and then quickly returned to his original state. With a generous smile, Lu Zhiyao met Lin Yichen's eyes across the distance.
On the contrary, I wanted to tell him that I was Lu Zhiyao, but Nangong Liuxi beat me to it.
"Chen'er likes this girl?" Nangong Liuxi glanced at Lu Zhiyao with some joy. Although she was dressed more plainly today, she was still quite pretty. Besides, if she was the prime minister's daughter, then...
…
"I just asked casually." Lin Yichen's words extinguished the hope in Nangong Liu Xi's heart. He looked directly into Lu Zhiyao's eyes and asked, "What's your name?"
"Back to the prince, the daughter of the common people is named Lu Zhiyao."
As soon as Lu Zhiyao's name was spoken, some people immediately started talking among themselves. The malicious glances thrown at him from time to time made Lu Zhiyao sigh secretly. As expected, Lin Yichen called him here because he wanted to make a fool of himself.
Bar.
"Lu Zhiyao? Isn't that really the prime minister's eldest daughter?" A sharp voice came to everyone's ears. Lu Zhiyao looked and saw a woman dressed as a concubine sitting behind the emperor and queen. She
She deliberately lengthened her voice and emphasized the words "eldest daughter". This made those who had heard or not heard the rumors about Lu Zhiyao couldn't help but want to know what she wanted to do next.
What to say.
"Does Concubine Mei know her?" Nangong Liu Xi looked back curiously, looked at Mei Ruohan who was speaking, and said softly: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Mei Ruohan pursed her lower lip in embarrassment, looking like she was hesitating to speak, which made those who wanted to hear her speak a little anxious.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. There are so many people waiting."
A deep male voice sounded slowly, Mei Ruohan glanced at Lin Yunlong who was speaking, nodded slightly, and said: "Back to the Emperor and Queen, I just listened to what others said, and I don't know whether it is true or not.
Others say that the prime minister's eldest daughter, Lu Zhiyao, is a bad guy. She killed her mother shortly after she was born, and her brother died when she was two years old. The prime minister still doesn't have a son. What if?
Really, I feel that we cannot keep such a person in our palace."
Although Mei Ruohan said that she was just hearing about it, she said that she had a nose and eyes, which made Lu Zhiyao feel a little funny. These people who can accompany the emperor and queen to help the prince choose his concubine, in addition to being favored by the emperor, or have the same heart as the queen
In addition to her, there will inevitably be other people. Lu Zhiyao can't say whether this Mei Ruohan is a relative of some of these selected concubines, but looking at the proud expression on her face, Lu Zhiyao can
For sure, she would not want to let herself become the princess.
"I've heard this before, how could you let such a person enter the palace?"
Mei Ruohan's words soon resonated, and other concubines also talked about the rumors they had heard. However, due to the occasion, they did not say those things about Lu Zhiyao's debauchery. Lu Zhiyao just stood aside like this.
Being isolated, he was under the gaze of the emperor, queen and concubines.
Lin Yichen wanted to use himself to annoy the emperor and queen and embarrass Lu Yuanzheng because Lu Yuanzheng didn't readily agree to his conditions, right?
Lu Zhiyao stood there, as if no one else was around, and began to speculate secretly. If this happened, wouldn't the little status he had finally gained in the Prime Minister's Mansion be lost again?
Just when Lu Zhiyao was feeling annoyed, Lin Yichen, who had always remained silent, finally spoke again.
"My father, my mother, and my sons have also heard some rumors about this Lu Zhiyao, but they are a little different from the other empresses."
"Oh? Then tell me." Lin Yunlong turned his head and looked at Lin Yichen. If he remembered correctly, Lin Yichen should have proposed to find this Lu Zhiyao himself, right?
"I heard that this Lu Zhiyao is a lucky star."
As soon as Lin Yichen's words came out, not only did the concubines couldn't help laughing, but Lu Zhiyao couldn't bear it. She couldn't bear the word "lucky star".
"Although her mother and brother are both dead, if she really is the broom star, then the Prime Minister's Mansion cannot always be safe and sound for so many years. Two people died in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but in exchange for
But it’s my father’s trust in the prime minister. Father, you didn’t think so highly of Zhonglu Yuanzheng from the beginning, right?”
"Well, indeed." Lin Yunlong nodded, lowered his eyes and smiled. "Then you mean, you chose her?"
The words of Lin Yichen and Lin Yunlong immediately silenced everyone around them, and also caused Lu Zhiyao's mind to fall into chaos. What did Lin Yichen mean? He spoke for himself so openly, so he was not afraid of anything from the Ye family.
Opinion? Ye Lianrong's father, Ye Zhihua, is also from the prince's faction. Now everyone thinks that the prime minister has no son because of his poor status. But Lin Yichen's words make people have to think of Ye Lianrong. After all, Lu
Yuan Zheng only has a wife like Ye Lianrong now. Whether she can give birth to a son or not depends on Ye Lianrong's belly, right?
"No, Father, I found her today for another reason." Lin Yichen shook his head and said to Lin Yunlong seriously: "Eighth brother has always been in poor health. This time, Father, the Emperor and the Queen have chosen to be my ministers.
Concubine, I remembered that my eighth brother lived alone outside the palace, and there was no one to take care of him, so I thought of the lucky star Lu Zhiyao. If she could be allowed to accompany my eighth brother, then my eighth brother would have someone to take care of him and he would be healthy.
Maybe it will get better, and you can kill two birds with one stone, why not?"
Lin Yichen's words made Lin Yunlong smile involuntarily and nodded with satisfaction. Lin Yunlong didn't expect Lin Yichen to be so thoughtful. "Okay, good idea." Lin Yunlong nodded repeatedly and said something that made Lu Zhiyao want to hit him to death. "
Then according to your wishes, send Lu Zhiyao to your eighth brother."
Are you kidding?! Lu Zhiyao suddenly felt that her current situation was far more dangerous and embarrassing than being besieged by these people. There was no hope for the Crown Princess. Among these people, she was more beautiful than herself.
, there are many people who please the queen more than herself, she is just a make-up at most. But now, if she really goes to Lin Yinan's side, Lin Yinan will definitely think that she is the spy sent by Lin Yichen.
My life is really difficult.
Lu Zhiyao clenched her fist. With so many people watching, she did not dare to resist and reject the prince and the emperor's kindness. After all, although the eighth prince was not the prince, he was still deeply liked by the emperor, and he was also his supporter besides the prince.
Most people, she can't be so ignorant.
Lu Zhiyao's mind went blank. She had thought about many possibilities before coming, but this one was something she had never thought of.
Lin Yinan...
Lu Zhiyao lowered his head and closed his eyes. Thinking of Lin Yinan's elegant but slightly morbid face, he felt that the air suddenly became colder.
Lu Zhiyao had no intention of listening to what Lin Yichen and the others said, and just stood there in confusion. It was not until the emperor and the queen got up and left, and the people around him also dispersed, that Lu Zhiyao feebly raised his head.
By coincidence, she caught Lin Yichen's probing gaze. Seeing Lin Yichen smile meaningfully at her, Lu Zhiyao turned around and left without saying a word.
Lu Zhiyao followed the way he came and strode forward alone. He didn't care what people passing by him would think of him, he just kept walking forward. After seeing Lu Yuanzheng, Lu Zhiyao looked at him silently.
Looking at him, I didn't know what to say.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yuanzheng saw Lu Zhiyao's strange expression and asked nervously: "Is the emperor or queen angry?"
"No..." Lu Zhiyao shook his head, not knowing how to explain it. Could it be that she wanted to say that she was not treated as the Crown Princess and was pushed to the Eighth Prince's side by the Crown Prince?
Just when Lu Zhiyao was being questioned by Lu Yuanzheng, someone came to Lu Zhiyao's rescue. The soft voice sounded, and Lu Zhiyao looked over, and it was the eunuch who brought him into the palace in the first place.
"Oh my ancestor, why are you walking so fast? I was chasing you so hard and you didn't catch up." The eunuch breathed quickly and looked at Lu Zhiyao, wiped the sweat from his head and said, then looked at Lu Yuanzheng
, with a smile on his face, he said: "Congratulations, Prime Minister."
"What do you mean, father-in-law?" Lu Yuanzheng was confused. Could it be that the prince really likes his eldest daughter?
"The prime minister doesn't know yet?" The eunuch looked at Lu Yuanzheng, then at Lu Zhiyao, and said, "The emperor has agreed to give the eldest daughter to the eighth prince. Although she is not a princess, this is a great thing.
ah!"
"Eighth, eighth prince?" Lu Yuanzheng didn't even turn around. What's going on?
"Thank you for coming here." Lu Zhiyao had tried his best to calm down, walked to the eunuch, and gave him some money, "If it weren't for my father-in-law today, I might not have such good luck.
Down."
Lu Zhiyao's generous behavior changed the eunuch's impression of her. Lu Zhiyao looked back at Lu Yuanzheng, who still had a stiff expression, and said with a smile: "Dad, it's time for us to go home."
Lu Zhiyao sat in the sedan and touched his heart. His heartbeat was still a little fast.
Biting his lower lip hard, Lu Zhiyao thought with complicated emotions, how he would explain to Lin Yinan if he came to his door. But when he thought of Xia Han in Lin Yinan's house, Lu Zhiyao couldn't help but feel a little happier. As long as
It's good to be by Xiaohan's side. If Lin Yinan refuses to give her back to him, then she should go to him.
Back at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Zhiyao was eagerly asked by Lu Yuanzheng about what happened. Lu Zhiyao looked at Lu Yuanzheng and still looked unbelievable, and smiled helplessly: "Dad, that eunuch didn't tell you what he said.
Wrong, the emperor agreed."
