Portable Space: The Peasant Princess

 Chapter 176 Birthday Banquet (2)

When Lu Yuan saw this, he suddenly understood.

“Zhao Bin, send someone to pick up Fifth Sister. Also, ask someone to prepare another carriage. This one... please give it to Fifth Sister.”

Lu Yi's face changed greatly when he heard this, "Absolutely not. This is a gift from His Majesty to you. How can you let a concubine ride on it? If someone who is interested sees it, he will not take the opportunity to read your copy?"

Lu Yuan sneered, "Oh, what about the concubine? Besides, this carriage is just a dead thing, no matter who sits on it? Your Majesty has the world in mind, and he has no intention of paying attention to such a trivial matter."

 Lu Yi has always been careful in everything he does, and he is even more obedient to the emperor's orders. It is not a fluke that he has come to this day and has become a popular figure around His Majesty.

But Lu Yuan is different. Although he has only lived for more than ten years, he understands the emperor's temperament better than Lu Yi. He hates dealing with trivial matters. If his ministers are involved in such trivial matters, he will I believe that soon, that person will be distrusted by the emperor.

In the emperor's subconscious mind, only major matters such as the prosperity and decline of the Zhou Dynasty and the rise and fall of the people should be dealt with. Other matters should be handled by the ministers and officials below. If you can't even do such small things, Okay, what does he want them to do?

Zhao Bin nodded in agreement, turned around and told a mother on the side: "Go and bring the fifth lady."

The mother was stunned for a moment, then secretly glanced at Lu Ying, who was clenching her hands and trying to keep calm, and then lowered her head and said yes.

 “Yuan’er, you...”

Lu Yi frowned. He didn't know where his son's problem was. Otherwise, why would he suddenly pay attention to his concubine who had been ignored for more than ten years?

Lu Yuan glanced at him lightly, then closed his eyes, as if out of sight and out of mind.

Lu Li opened the curtain, looked in the direction of Lu Yuan, made a disdainful sound, and lowered the curtain again.

 In Sumei Courtyard.

Lu Qi stared at the mother who came to deliver the message in surprise, and said in disbelief: "You mean, my second brother asked me to attend His Majesty's birthday banquet?"

 How is this possible? The second brother probably didn't even know who she was, so how could he suddenly think of him? Could it be that Lu Ying was thinking of some trick to make fun of herself?

 She looked at the mother hesitantly, "Fourth sister, she..."

“Oh, Miss Fifth, everyone is still waiting for you, are you going?” The mother glared at her impatiently.

 Lu Qi gritted her teeth secretly, "Okay, I'll go!"

If it was true, then she might be able to meet her savior. If it was false, she would at most be laughed at by Lu Ying. Anyway, she was often laughed at by Lu Ying, and this time was not lacking.

 “Nanny, help me comb my hair!”

The wet nurse wiped her tears and nodded.

By the time Lu Qi finished dressing up and came out, night had almost fallen.

Lu Ying looked at Lu Qi who had arrived in a hurry, and said angrily to her mother who brought her here: "I asked you to call someone, but you also walked around the entire general's palace? If it delays us entering the palace, you Can you afford it?"

 In response to what she said about Sang and Huai, Lu Qi just bit her lower lip and listened quietly.

Originally she just wanted to comb her hair, but the wet nurse said that she finally saw her father once, and now that she was attending a big banquet in the palace, she couldn't be too casual, lest she lose her father's face. After getting dressed up, it was a delay. A lot of time.

The mother said aggrievedly: "The Fourth Miss is wronged. I have already informed the Fifth Miss. She has to dress up, but I can't do anything about it!"

Lu Yuan's closed eyes suddenly opened, and he said coldly: "Father, now that everyone is here, is it time to set off?"

Lu Yi was startled and looked away from Lu Qi, "Okay, since Qier is here, let's set off."
