Chapter 216: Imperial Decree (1)
I don't know how Ling Mengqi will react after reading the letter?I hope he can understand her feelings and stop doing those unnecessary things in the future!
Danqing brought back Ling Mengqi's reply letter the next day. There were only four words "I understand" on the letter. Lu Mingxuan stared at the four words that were clear at a glance for a long time, and finally smiled wryly and put it together with her heart. Put it on an oil lamp and turn it into ashes...

After Ling Mengqi replied the letter with only four words "I understand", she really didn't bother Lu Mingxuan for a while, and even Lu Mingxuan rarely heard about him again. I felt lost, and I was afraid that I would not even be friends with him in the future, but because I didn't have any hope at the beginning, and this result was expected, so it wasn't too uncomfortable. How to do it anyway, at least on the surface, even Lu Mingfu didn't notice anything unusual.

So at the end of August, with the joint efforts of the sisters, Lu Mingfeng has almost done what she should do. Mrs. Lu felt sorry for her hard work, so she went back to Mrs. Lu and wanted to take her back to her natal home for a stroll Go, and strongly invite the sisters Lu Mingxuan to Sandan together.

After the incident in the palace last time, Lu Mingxuan is now indifferent to everyone and things related to Empress Xu's eldest prince, let alone going to Empress Xu's natal family, who knows what will happen then?Because of looking for an excuse to shirk.

Seeing that she didn't go, Lu Mingfu naturally refused to go, but Lu Mingli and Lu Mingxin didn't know why, and they couldn't say no, so when that day came, only Mrs. Lu brought Lu Mingfeng, mother and daughter. The two went back to their natal home by car together.

The rest of the sisters chatted and laughed with Mrs. Lu for a while, and Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "You have worked hard these days, why not go to the garden or go back to your own room to rest. I'm going to eat vegetarian food today, and you can eat in your own room at noon and night, so there's no need to come here."

When the sisters heard the words, they hurriedly knelt down and said "yes" in unison, and filed out. However, everyone was tired these days, and they walked around the garden every day. take a break.

Lu Mingxuan fell asleep and woke up, and after having lunch, she felt that she had nothing to do. She remembered that since Mrs. Lu said it once last year, she had never been to Jiusheng Building again. I asked Lu Mingfu to find a few books and read them together.

But Lu Mingfu said: "It's not that you don't know me, you are not interested in those books since you came, I might as well go to bed when I have the time to read, you go by yourself, remember to bring two more people, so as not to turn around, Mrs. Got it, I have something to say to you again."

Seeing that she refused to go, Lu Mingxuan had no choice but to bring Danqing and accompanying incense, and the three master and servant went to Jiushenglou by way.

Unexpectedly, they just went there, and Zhao Yanjie, who was dressed in a light purple round neck robe, came behind him. Everyone had to salute and exchange greetings. Lu Mingxuan saw that Zhao Yanjie didn't bring anyone, so she ordered her companion to make tea.

For a while, the two of them ate tea, and then started to look for books. Lu Mingxuan accidentally looked up when she was looking for books, and found that Zhao Yanjie, who was a few bookshelves away from her, was reading a book. Very pious, as if what he was holding in his hand was not a book but some rare treasure. After he was sure that he wanted to borrow that book, he carefully closed the book and took out the few books he did not borrow from somewhere. Where to put it back.

Lu Mingxuan couldn't help thinking of the few books that Zhao Yanjie was holding in his hand to return when he just came. Each book was clean and tidy, without any creases or stains. At that time, she guessed that he must He is a person who loves books very much, and now it seems that he is so.

Not long after, Zhao Yanjie chose the books he wanted to borrow, and came over to say goodbye to Lu Mingxuan: "Cousin Xuan chooses slowly, and I have to go back to read books, so I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" "Cousin Zhao, let's go!" After that, he nodded with Lu Mingxuan, and did not forget to nod with Danqing and Banxiang before turning around and walking outside.

When he passed by Lu Mingxuan's side, Lu Mingxuan smelled a scent of saponin, although it was faint, it was very fresh and delicious, and when he thought of his smile just now, it was a bit shy, but it was very warm and clean, just like in winter Like the sun, it makes people feel warm from body to heart.

Looking at Zhao Yanjie's back, Ban Xiang couldn't help sighing: "It's strange that the wives in the outer courtyard say that Master Zhao Biao is a modest gentleman!"

Hearing this, Lu Mingxuan's heart moved, and she asked seemingly unintentionally: "Why do the wives in the outer court often talk about Cousin Zhao, even you in the inner court? What are they talking about about Cousin Zhao?"

Ban Xiang didn't know what Lu Mingxuan meant by her words, so she hurriedly tried to explain, and saw that she didn't look angry, so she boldly said: "It's not like talking about it all the time, this servant also heard about it by chance, saying that Zhao Although Young Master Biao is the master, he does all the things he can do by himself. He is also good to the servants, and he is willing to help anyone who has difficulties. He never smiles or opens his mouth when he talks to anyone. Like the spring breeze, studying hard, you are worthy of being born in a scholarly family, and you will have a bright future in the future... Don't be angry, girl, from now on, slaves must keep their mouths in check and stop talking nonsense."

But Lu Mingxuan just said: "Okay, the books I want to borrow have already been selected, let's go back." In my heart, I had already sketched an image of hard work, gentleness and generosity, and felt that apart from objective factors for Zhao Yanjie, A little more subjective good impression.

In the next few days, Lu Mingxuan met Zhao Yanjie twice again, one time at Jiusheng Building, she intended to ask Zhao Yanjie to recommend some books for her to read, she thought that Zhao Yanjie would recommend to her the Four Books of Women and the Biographies of Women, etc. He didn't want to, but he recommended a few strange novels and travel notes to her, and said with a blushing face: "I see that cousin Xuan always has a slight worry on her brows. I don't know why she is worrying about it? At Cousin Xuan's age, it is really not appropriate to worry about it." Think too much, otherwise it will be of no benefit to the body, please let Cousin Xuan relax, even if the sky falls, won't there be tall people standing up to it?"

It made Lu Mingxuan look at him a little more differently, knowing how to care about others, and not being pedantic, unlike ordinary men who think that women who read books other than the Four Books of Women are heinous. It's really rare.

Another time was yesterday, in Mrs. Lu's room. At that time, Mrs. Lu only left her to serve her. Zhao Yanjie came to greet him. During the conversation, Mrs. Lu asked what books Zhao Yanjie had been studying recently. Zhao Yanjie one by one After answering, he then asked her how the book she recommended with her last time was like.

Lu Mingxuan would have no reason to speak ill of people in front of others, not to mention that the books that Zhao Yanjie recommended to her were really good, so she thanked him again: "Thank you, Cousin Zhao, those books are quite interesting. "
