The step-brother is charming and soft, and the Marquis can't help but flirt with her

Lu Xingyue returned home and went straight to the study. He called Zhou Quan and Mulang and asked them to find out what the prince had done recently and who he had met, especially at the other side of the village. He sent people to watch and not allow anyone to come and go at will. .

The two of them happened to be going out when Shen Lansui came in. Seeing that they were in a hurry, she didn't ask much.

She entered the study room with freshly brewed soup, only to see Lu Xingyue standing in front of the window with a serious look on his face.

"What happened? You didn't go to have a drink with the prince, why did you come back so soon?"

When Lu Xingyue heard her voice, he turned his head, his expression softened slightly, and he hesitated for a moment but still did not say what the prince said.

He hasn't found out yet, so it's useless to talk about it. It will only increase his troubles.

Lan Sui was always on tenterhooks following him, and was not very happy, so he decided not to talk about it for the time being.

He came out from behind the desk, took the soup bowl from Shen Lansui's hand and put it on the table. He turned around and hugged Shen Lansui, and took a deep breath.

Shen Lansui couldn't help laughing, "Are you sucking cats?"

Lu Xingyue leaned over and hugged him tightly in his arms. The soft fragrance instantly calmed all his restlessness.

He whispered: "It's nothing. I thought the prince could tell me what kind of flowers it was, but I didn't expect it was the same old thing. It was boring, so I came back first."

Shen Lansui raised her eyebrows, "He let you go so easily?"

Lu Xingyue laughed, "If he wants to stop me, he has to show off his skills. What can he do if he doesn't have any reason to stop me?"

"That's right." Shen Lansui didn't think much, patted his hand and said: "The pork rib soup just stewed in the kitchen is very delicious. You just don't eat much. Can you try it while it's hot?"

Lu Xingyue held her tightly. He sat on the armchair and let Shen Lansui sit in his arms.

He picked up the bowl, scooped some out with a spoon, blew on it and fed it to Shen Lansui's mouth, "Drink first, madam."

Shen Lansui was not polite and nodded after taking a sip, "It tastes really good."

Lu Xingyue turned his head and looked at her with a smile, pinched her waist with his other hand, and sighed after a while: "Madam is so thin that she can be pinched with one hand. Eat more and gain more flesh."

"Aren't you busy during this period? Mainly because you lost weight in Wanguan City. Compared to the time when you just came back, you have gained a lot of weight."

Shen Lansui touched his belly and said, "I feel like my belly is a lot fatter than before."

Lu Xingyue shook his head, "Still thin."

He looked at Shen Lan's childish side face, and his heart felt so soft that it almost turned into a handful of spring water.

Sighing silently, he put his arms around Shen Lansui's waist and thought, wait until he finds out the whole story before telling her, and let her have a good rest during this period.

After the two of them shared the bowl of pork rib soup, Shen Lansui felt a little sleepy and sat there nodding her head. Lu Xingyue simply took him back to the bedroom, put him on the soft couch, lowered the window, and the sun was shining warmly. It won't be cold.

"Go to sleep."

Lu Xingyue tucked the blanket for her and whispered to Guanchun: "Let Madam sleep. If you need anything, come to me in the study. Don't disturb her. If Madam hasn't woken up in the afternoon, call her again, so as not to sleep too much and be unable to sleep at night."

The master is harmonious and beautiful, and the maid is also happy. Guan Chun agrees with a smile.

In the morning of the next day, Emperor Hui'an recounted all the major cases handled by Jin Yiwei before. He also praised Lu Xingyue in public and said that Lu Yuanzhi should be the one to give birth to a son.

As soon as these words came out, all the officials looked at Duke Rong with envy. The fifth prince smiled meaningfully, but the prince couldn't laugh at all.

He took a deep look at Duke Rong Guo, and was shocked to realize that Lu Xingyue actually had little resemblance to Duke Rong Guo. His profile was actually more like Emperor Hui'an, but not many people could look directly at the holy face, so no one had ever noticed this. . But he had doubts in his heart, and the more he looked at it, the more it seemed like it.

When the court was over, he was absent-minded and almost fell down the steps, but the fifth prince helped him and asked, "Is your brother okay? Why are you so careless?"

The prince was shocked and looked at him in surprise, "Lao Wu?"

The fifth prince raised his eyebrows, "Eldest brother was surprised to see that it was my younger brother?"

He glanced back and said pointedly: "Seventh brother is still far away. He is talking to Mr. Ge and can't catch up."

The prince had a knot in his heart, but when he saw the seventh prince and Ge Lao saying something in the distance, it became more and more dazzling. Does Ge Lao also appreciate his seventh brother?

The fifth prince looked at his expression, feeling amused.

"Thank you." The prince said in a deep tone.

The fifth prince shook his head, "It's just a little effort, but brother, you should be more careful. My sister-in-law is pregnant. If something happens to you, what will happen to her and the child?"

Before the prince could speak, the fifth prince patted him on the shoulder and whispered in his ear: "Think about yourself and your children in everything. If you don't fight for some things, it doesn't mean that others are like you. Don't wait until you have nothing. Regret again.”

The prince was shocked, stared at him and asked, "What do you mean?"

The fifth prince blinked innocently, "It doesn't mean anything. It's just that my brother has always regarded the emperor as his opponent, and he doesn't want his opponent to change easily."

After saying that, he broke away from the prince's hand and said Shi Shiran: "My dear brother, take your leave."

He fluttered his sleeves and walked away. The prince stood there, his whole body cold.

Just then, the Seventh Prince came over, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, who were you talking to just now? Just in time, if you don't leave, let's go together to pay our respects to the Queen Mother?"

The prince suddenly trembled, subconsciously pushed away the seventh prince's hand, and said indifferently in his stunned eyes: "Go by yourself, I still have something to do."

The seventh prince looked at him blankly, but the prince avoided his sight, turned around and left quickly.

He didn't understand what was wrong with the prince, but the prince knew clearly that he could no longer treat his younger brother normally.

And not only him, he also has a younger brother who is living abroad. If the two of them join forces, his position will be in jeopardy.

Facing the dazzling sunlight, the prince finally made up his mind.

The prince did not see the princess after he returned. He summoned his confidants to stay in the study all afternoon. When he finally came out, there was no emotion on his face.

Before going to bed at night, the prince said to the princess: "I heard that the peach blossoms in Lingshan Temple are in bloom. Don't you like the scenery there very much? Let Rong Zhao accompany you some other time?"

The Crown Princess rested her head on the Prince's arm, and turned her head slightly to look at him after hearing this, "I have that intention, but I am worried that the child will be still very young, will something happen to him?"

The prince pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "Rong Zhao has always been on good terms with Mrs. Ming Yinghou. Let Rong Zhao invite her to go with him when the time comes. Will you feel relieved with her here?"

The powerful Crown Princess Shen Lansu had learned this lesson last time. She smiled and agreed, "It would be great if Mrs. Lu is with me, but I don't know if she will agree?"

"Let Rong Zhao speak, and he will probably agree."

The prince touched the princess's hair and spoke softly.

The Crown Princess didn't see his eyes and didn't know the murderous intention behind the tenderness, so she happily agreed.
