Chapter 174 Entering the Palace (1)
So Danqing was able to leave Dingguo Duke's mansion smoothly, and came back at noon, and whispered to Lu Mingxuan: "Master Xiaochi has already passed the message to that little eunuch named Xiaolizi, at first he ignored Master Xiaochi Later, I heard Master Xiaochi say that a person surnamed Luo asked him to go, so he didn't take Qiao anymore, and only said to let Master Xiaochi rest assured that he would definitely bring the message."

Lu Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't think too much about entering the palace anymore. Anyway, thinking about it now is useless, and the soldiers can only come to cover up the water and soil, and prepare for the worst in advance.

On the eighth day of the fifth lunar month, Mrs. Yan, Duke of Shengguo, brought Mrs. Yanba to Dingguo Duke's mansion to enjoy the flowers.

Mrs. Yan Lu Mingxuan has seen her before, but this is the first time she has seen Mrs. Yan Ba. She is wearing a silver and red ten-color brocade beige, a blue-green horse-face skirt, white and clean, not tall, slightly Plump, always smiles when talking to people, looks very friendly, should be easy to get along with.

It was also the first time for Lu Mingfu to meet her future mother-in-law. Although she looked shy, she spoke and acted in a very graceful manner. Before the banquet started, Lu Mingxuan had already seen that Mrs. Yan Ba ​​had exchanged several satisfied looks with Mrs. Yan Afterwards, she treated Lu Mingfu even more kindly, and she couldn't help being secretly happy for Lu Mingfu, as long as she could be liked by her mother-in-law, she would be half-steady in her husband's house in the future.

After sending off Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Yan Ba ​​in the evening, Mrs. Lu really smiled and said to Lu Mingfu: "When Mrs. Yan Ba ​​was just about to leave, she praised you all the time with me. I will invite you tomorrow. Come and talk to him about the situation with your father, and if he thinks it’s feasible, then we can settle the matter.”

Lu Mingfu blushed so much that he could bleed, and after a while Fang Fang said in a voice like a gnat: "But it depends on the arrangement of the old lady and father."

Lu Mingxuan saw that she was shy, but the corners of her eyes and brows were full of joy, knowing that she was really satisfied with this marriage, she couldn't help but think to herself, even if she really couldn't escape this time, at least her rebirth has made her happy. Lu Zhongxian has a son, and Lu Mingfu has a good home, so she won't have Bai Chongsheng... Don't Empress Xu and the First Prince just want her life, just let them come and see who can take it Go cheap and see who can have the last laugh!
The next day, Lu Zhongxian really went into Rongtaiju to pay his respects to Mrs. Lu, and then talked to Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu alone for nearly an hour. Seeing that Lu Mingfu was really satisfied with the Yan family's marriage, Fang completely let go. Don't worry, he is not the so-called "strict father" who only knows the rules and etiquette. He thinks that marriage matters should be obeyed by "the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker". It doesn't matter if the other party is from a poorer family background, if the daughter is not satisfied, even if the other party is the emperor, he may not agree to marry his daughter!

After Lu Zhongxian asked the elder daughter, he did not forget to care about the younger daughter, and said to Lu Mingxuan with a smile: "After your sister's matter is settled, it will be your turn. Don't worry, I will definitely ask you what you want when the time comes. Only after you are truly satisfied, will you decide on your matter, otherwise, even if the old madam speaks in person, I will definitely not agree easily."

Lu Mingxuan's nose was sore from what he said, and she almost burst into tears. Such a good father, why wasn't she his own?I don't know if she will have the opportunity to be filial to her father in the future... She took a deep breath, forced back her tears, and smiled, "Then daddy must remember what you said today."

Lu Mingfu hesitated to speak at the side: "Daddy, in fact, my sister..." She started talking, but was interrupted by Lu Mingxuan, "By the way, Daddy, how are your wife and younger brother these days? How is your wife's health? Are you better? How about my brother, have you gained weight again?" While talking, while taking advantage of Lu Zhongxian not paying attention, he gave Lu Mingfu a wink.

Lu Mingfu had no choice but to follow her words: "Yes, Daddy, are your wife and brother okay?"

Lu Zhongxian didn't notice the eyebrow-eye lawsuit between the two sisters at all, and when he mentioned his son, he smiled all over his face: "I've gained a lot of weight, I'll know when I go to your house, and your wife has also improved a lot, but the doctor said Well, it’s better to stay in the second confinement period, so I have already agreed with the old lady that after your wife is out of the second confinement period, I will have three books and six rituals with the Yan family, so as to save the family from having no one to take care of it now. Man, you can't ask someone else to help with this kind of thing, right?"

Although Lu Mingfu is currently being raised in the Duke's Mansion, she is Lu Zhongxian's daughter after all. Naturally, the three letters and six ceremonies should be celebrated at her own home, and it should be handled by the mother, Mrs. Lu, and the Duke's Mansion can at most give her another It's enough to prepare a dowry, but you can't do everything on your behalf, otherwise others will say Lu Zhongxian and Qi's mouth, and also the Duke's mansion.

For a while Lu Zhongxian left with a smile on his face, Lu Mingfu immediately lowered his voice and said to Lu Mingxuan: "Why didn't you let me tell Daddy about the matter, even though we are now raised by the old lady, we are not the real ones of the Duke's Mansion. Girl, if the old lady can't stand it any longer, there will be daddy, daddy is your father, as long as daddy disagrees, even if the old lady agrees, it may not be counted!"

Lu Mingxuan couldn't help but secretly smiled wryly, she just didn't want to worry Lu Zhongxian, and didn't want to drag him into the water, so she winked at Lu Mingfu so that she wouldn't tell Lu Zhongxian, let alone Lu Mingfu didn't know that she was actually old man Lu Lu Zhongxian knew about her granddaughter, if Mrs. Lu, her own grandmother, agreed, how could Lu Zhongxian change her position... She could only pretend to be relaxed and said: "Didn't the old lady agree to everything?" I will deal with me, will you not let me fall into the fire pit, don't tell me my sister still doesn't believe that the old lady can't do it, so why make daddy worry in vain?"

Hearing this, Lu Mingfu remembered that although Lu Zhongxian was Lu Mingxuan's father, Mrs. Lu was a super-ranked wife, and she was considered to be the elder of the Empress Empress. If this matter could not be settled even by her old man, how could Lu Zhongxian still be counted on? Is it settled?In the end did not say anything.

For the next few days, the Duke's Mansion was quiet and nothing happened.

So on May [-]th, the day before the Empress's Empress's Qianqiu Festival, when everyone was talking with Mrs. Lu in Rongtaiju in the evening, the old man suddenly came in. Greetings from the old man.

After the old Duke ordered everyone to wake up, he chatted with Mrs. Lu for a few gossips, and suddenly asked: "By the way, who will come from our family to the palace to celebrate the Queen's birthday on the Empress's Qianqiu Festival tomorrow?"

Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "The eldest princess is not recovering from her illness, and the fourth daughter-in-law has been recovering from her illness. Maybe I can only go with the eldest daughter-in-law and Feng girl, oh yes, and there is also girl Xuan. The eldest daughter-in-law said that she was asked to bring Miss Xuan into the palace tomorrow, saying that she wanted to choose a reading companion with Princess Dingyi, and I don't know if this girl can have such a good fortune to be picked by Princess Dingyi?"
