The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 687 Too young

Zeng Lingsong snorted coldly. He didn't want to scold his son anymore. He felt that scolding him would be a waste of energy. He turned to Zeng Kai and said, "Father, what should we do now?"

Zeng Kui shook his head: "Right now... there is no other way. We can only hope for next year. Your Majesty, please strongly oppose it."

There is something else behind his words.

Zeng Lingsong and Zeng Chongqi both heard it and were cheered up!
"Yes, and next year!" Zeng Chongqi was the youngest after all, and since it involved his marriage, he couldn't hold back his excitement and grinned with joy.

Zeng Lingsong saw that his son was really happy and really wanted to marry the only child left by his elder sister who died early. As both a father and an uncle, he rarely criticized Zeng Chongqi for showing his joy, but also smiled broadly.

Zeng Kui looked at his eldest son and grandson in such a state, but the worry and concern in his heart did not diminish in the slightest.

He knew very well that the Eastern Palace today was no ordinary Eastern Palace. Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could so openly take his granddaughter over to the palace and bring her directly into the Eastern Palace, he must have thought of all the countermeasures and fallback plans before doing so.

If this is true, how could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince easily back down in the coming year?

Since this is impossible, a turbulent confrontation between Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is inevitable.

He was his own granddaughter, and he didn't want to see Yaoyao being caught between two dragons and becoming the victim of the disaster.

As a grandfather, he first has to understand Yaoyao's thoughts.

If his granddaughter is willing to take the position of Crown Princess, he will have to make some careful plans.

If his granddaughter is unwilling to marry into the Eastern Palace, then he will have to make another arrangement.

Zeng Chongjin and Zeng Chongrong were also very anxious, but there was nothing they could do.

"Sister, will Yaoyao be willing?" Zeng Chongrong asked in a low mood while swinging on the swing in the yard.

Zeng Chongjin thought for a moment and said, "I don't know."

The Zeng sisters were guessing whether Meng Shisan was willing to become the Crown Princess. Shi Lanxi and Xiang Zheng both concluded in their respective homes that Meng Shisan was definitely willing.

Jiang Ziyao followed Lu Luo back to the city. On the way, she saw Lu Luo's gloomy face. Until she returned to the Jiang Mansion by herself, she did not dare to say a word to Lu Luo, for fear of bringing bad luck to her.

Lu Luo returned to the Lu Mansion in a gloomy mood and locked himself in the room. He waited until Lu Sen returned home from work. After hearing the news, he left the house and went straight to Lu Sen's courtyard.

Lu Sen had just changed into his casual clothes and had not had time to eat dinner when he saw Lu Luo coming in hurriedly: "What's wrong? Is there an emergency?"

"Sister-in-law." Lu Luo politely greeted Wen Shi first, then sat down at the dining table, "I'll have dinner with my brother."

Wen had already had dinner. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "That's great. I don't have to sit with you."

Then she asked the maid to bring Lu Luo an extra set of bowls and chopsticks, and she asked the extra servants to leave, leaving only Ju An and Naishe to serve in the room, but she didn't keep them in the end.

Give the two brothers space to talk alone.

"Tell me, what's the matter." Lu Sen had been busy in the Beijing government all day, including the case of three simultaneous fires the night before. He was hungry now, so he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Lu Luo hadn't eaten since returning home, but now he didn't seem to feel hungry. He just watched his brother eat a few bites and said, "There is a fishing competition at Bixu Manor today, and many young men and women are going..."

"I know this, let's get to the point." Lu Sen interrupted. Lu Sen paused for a few breaths, and followed Lu Sen's meaning to get to the point directly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also came in person in disguise. Magistrate Zhu's daughter was pushed into the water. Miss Meng jumped into the water to save her. Then she was picked up by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the spot, left the manor, returned to the city... and entered the palace."

"Oh?" Lu Sen put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, took the fish soup that Ju An had scooped out and handed to him, drank two sips steadily, put down the bowl and confirmed, "In public?"

Lu Luo said: "In public."

"Do you all know the identity of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

“Some know, some don’t.”

People like Lu Luo, who were young men from wealthy and aristocratic families and had seen Li Shou before, naturally recognized Li Shou as soon as they met him.

But except for people like Lu Luo, most of the people who are not qualified to meet the current crown prince, even if they are in public, can only sigh that good things are going to happen.

Lu Sen nodded, picked up his bowl and chopsticks again, and started eating again. Seeing that Lu Luo didn't move his chopsticks, he pointed at the bowl in front of Lu Luo's table and said, "Eat, didn't you say you were here to eat with me? Then eat quickly."

"Big brother!"

"There's no use in being anxious."

Lu Luo was stunned: "Brother?"

Lu Sen couldn't bear to see his younger brother so miserable, so he said in advance a crucial point that came to his mind the first time he heard about this matter: "Next year, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come of age, and then we will have the ceremony of coming of age and choose the Crown Princess."

"Brother, do you mean that I still have a chance?" Lu Luo's eyes suddenly lit up.

Lu Sen thought to himself that you have no chance. Judging from what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did in public today when he came to Bixu Manor, he must have been stimulated by something. Otherwise, with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's usually calm and introverted temperament, how could he do such an irreversible thing in front of so many people that the eldest lady of the Meng family would have almost no future in marriage except with the Eastern Palace.

Ran Xin said it in his heart, but he still held back.

It is rare that the younger brother falls in love with a girl, and he works hard for this girl. Not only does he take the initiative to ask to enter the officialdom, but he also has the ambition to work hard with his brothers.

His ambition has not been realized, not even halfway done, it has just started, and he does not want to put an end to it today because of his honest words.

Seeing Lu Sen's silence, Lu Luo agreed. He grinned and picked up the bowl and chopsticks: "I'll eat with my brother!"

Naishe always felt that something was wrong, but seeing his young master looking so happy, he wondered if he was overthinking it.

Ju'an was different, he also knew his master. If his master didn't give a definite answer, there must be a problem. However, if his master didn't correct him, he naturally couldn't speak.

He just looked at Naishe opposite him, with a look that contained a hint of pity.

However, he felt uncomfortable being stared at by Ju'an. As for tasting something, given how familiar they were with each other, that would be a piece of cake. However, he didn't want to think too much about it at this moment, for fear that thinking too much would only bring trouble to himself.

Lu Sen looked at Lu Luo eating happily, and he felt really bad inside.

Compared to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, his younger brother is really too young.

Even so, you still want to snatch the Crown Prince's wife. You are simply asking for trouble.
