Voice of the heart: Those who are eaten by the real daughter are in bad luck

The mumbling sounds reached everyone's ears, which was not only frightening, but also a bit noisy!

The Queen Mother, who was sitting at the top, did not realize until this moment that today's birthday banquet was indeed lacking in music, singing and dancing.

Originally, these performances should have been performed after all the officials had toasted. However, in order to hear Lu Xinran's inner thoughts clearly, she waved her hands to indicate to wait when the palace servants came to ask if it was appropriate to perform music and dance.

Wait any longer, the birthday party is about to end.

The emperor tilted his head to look, and the empress dowager coughed lightly, then waved to the palace servant who came over to ask for instructions again.

Outside the pavilion, dancers who had been waiting for a long time walked in one by one, holding their musical instruments.

Lu Xinran held the glutinous rice wine and grinned foolishly.

[The wine is delicious, the dance is beautiful, the melon is tasty, it would be nice if the Queen Mother celebrated her birthday every day. ]

Everyone: "..."

Do they still have a way to survive?!

Don't all people have to be exposed?

Zhang Shuier looked over from afar, met Lu Xinran's gaze, smiled and made a toast gesture.

[She should be more clear-headed now, right? That pervert, eh, what good is there in that?]

[It's a pity that General Qi has no offspring, otherwise his son would be as handsome as he is. ]

Zhang Shuier paused with her hand holding the wine glass, and feeling the gazes of the people around her, her pretty face instantly blushed.

Lu Xinlan took the wine bowl from her expressionlessly, then raised his hand and patted her on the back gently.

"If you are sleepy, take a nap first. I will ask Aunt Xu to wake you up after the birthday banquet."

Don't get drunk and act crazy in your heart. If General Qi knew that there was a little girl who had just come of age in the capital who was always thinking about him, he would be scared to death.

Lu Xinran laughed and said, "Sister, you don't know, the Queen and General Qi are really good friends."

She is a little obsessed with CP.

Lu Xinlan touched a piece of osmanthus cake expressionlessly and stuffed it directly into her mouth.

Stop talking. Didn’t you see that the emperor’s face above couldn’t be any darker?

Even though the queen and Qi Yu had not seen each other for more than 20 years and had never written a letter to each other, Lu Xinran's little essay in her heart had already made the emperor feel guilty.

Everyone around pricked up their ears, wanting to hear some gossip, but they saw Lu Xinran actually finished his snacks obediently, then fell asleep on their legs.

She looks cute and well-behaved, and doesn't seem like a chatterbox at all.

The voices in their hearts completely disappeared and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

With the sound of stringed instruments, music and dancing, the waterside pavilion finally had the lively atmosphere of a banquet.

Lu Kangde couldn't hide the joy on his face, and he accepted every toast he received.

Lu Jinchuan has been promoted to the second rank. The highest official position holding real power in the court of the Great Chu is the second rank. Most of the first rank officials sound very prestigious, but in fact they have no power at all.

He was already one of the highest-ranking people in the court and did not need to please anyone. If he had to lick anyone, it would be the emperor.

So at this moment he just sat behind the desk, feeling the scrutiny and assessment from the other second-rank officials.

When Zhou Hanwen and his son looked over here, his teeth almost broke.

"How could you allow the Fang family to do whatever they want! If it weren't for what happened back then, how could the Lu family have been targeting us all this time!"

Those who were targeted by the little girl from the Lu family today were all those who had some past with them.

This time, they were affected by the Fang family and suffered an unexpected disaster.

Zhou Bingshan looked at the Lu family with resentment: "Father, you know clearly how much benefit Fang has brought to our family over the years."

Zhou Bingshan didn't dare to think too much about whether she was having an affair with his father.

His father has always been very greedy when it comes to matters between men and women. If he hadn't been concerned about his official position and not wanting to damage his image, the things he did would not have been exposed until now.

"So you're blaming me?"

Zhou Hanwen snorted coldly, "Your Majesty will not punish me, but it is not good for you and me to stay in the capital any longer. A lucrative post of governor was just vacated in Fuzhou a few days ago. You should come with me to Fuzhou."

Zhou Bingshan's gaze still fell in the direction of the Lu family, "But Jiamao and Zhengya's marriage has not been decided yet."

"Their marriage?" Zhou Hanwen tilted his head to look at him, as if he didn't expect his son to have such a naive side: "Do you think they can find a good marriage in the capital? If they are taken to Fuzhou, others may find a good marriage for them there because they don't know what their mother has done."

In the capital, who would dare to marry their daughter into the Zhou family?

Zhou Hanwen didn't feel that he had done anything wrong. He just hated the Lu family for exposing his hobbies in public.

"But things will change, and we will be back one day."

Then the time will come when all the governments in the capital will start to kneel down and lick their boots again.

His eyes wandered over the several princes sitting near the top. The queen had no children, and the several adult princes all had their own assignments in the court.

The eldest prince was in the Ministry of War, the second prince was in the Ministry of Personnel, the third prince was in the Ministry of Revenue, the fourth prince was in Shuntian Prefecture, the fifth prince was in the Ministry of Justice, and the sixth prince was in the Ministry of Rites.

All six adult princes were entrusted with important tasks. When the princes began to compete for the throne in a few years, it would be time for him to return to the capital.

He raised the wine glass and met Lu Jinchuan's gaze. He pulled up the corners of his lips and smiled, making a toast gesture to him from a distance.

Life is a long journey. On this road without an end, everyone can be a winner until the last moment.

Zhao turned around and looked at the person who was already in Lu Xinlan's arms. She subconsciously wanted to curl her lips in disgust.

"Is she really asleep?"

"Well, mother, let big brother carry her out later."

"That won't do! Your eldest brother is of such and such status. Today all the ladies here are from various families. Mother would like to take this opportunity to introduce your eldest brother to me."

Zhao refused without even thinking about it, but Lu Yuanheng turned sideways to look at the little girl lying in her older sister's arms.

"Mom, Xinran is also my sister."

It has been almost a month since his biological sister returned home. He was told that he had not seen his biological sister for a long time, which was already very rude and had caused the little girl to complain about him. How could he ignore her any longer?

Besides, the two sisters get along so well, why should he be a bad guy who only loves one of them?

"Mom," seeing that Zhao was about to say something, Lu Xinlan quickly interrupted her, "If big brother doesn't even love his own sister, people will gossip about it if it gets out."

This sentence was like a vital point, which immediately made Zhao shut up.

She glared at the sleeping Lu Xinran angrily, said "It's up to you", and turned away sullenly.

Lu Yuanheng smiled and gave Lu Xinlan a thumbs up: "The little girl seems to have a lot of complaints about me. Xinlan, do you want to help big brother think of a good way to coax her?"

Lu Xinlan lowered her head to look at the guy with a red face sleeping, and spoke in a low voice after a while.

"She's easy to please. As long as you treat her well, she will let go of her grudges and get close to you."

Lu Yuanheng was stunned for a moment, looked at the little girl's soft hair, and responded with a sigh.

"Why did you both fall into the water before? Have you found out the reason?"

Lu Xinlan paused. There was no need to find out the reason. She and Lu Xinran both knew it.

But neither of them wanted to talk about it. After all... it wasn't very glorious.
