The heroine takes revenge on me, I am a sickly girl, I conquer the country and enjoy happiness

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the villa built on the mountain, giving a golden edge to the rows of buildings.

A girl with rosy cheeks walked out from behind the attic shaded by osmanthus trees, holding up her skirt. Her long, jade-green gauze skirt swayed like water waves in the breeze, and her fair skin seemed to glow with jade light.

The black hair is tied up with a set of Hetian jade and gold-threaded magnolia hairpins, which are then coiled up layer by layer to form a loose spiral shape.

Two strands of black hair hang down in front of her chest, drawing people's attention to the exquisite golden chrysanthemums on the bodice.

She stood barefoot beside the osmanthus tree, her pale pink lips pursed together, looking inexplicably fragile and charming.

Looks like it, really looks like it!

It would be more like it if there was a hint of coldness and world-weariness!

Lu Yan stood there in a daze, without any reaction for a long time, until the girl came up to him listlessly, trembling and complaining:

"Do I have to wear this? It's too thin! A-choo! Besides, there are so many people at the party, isn't it inappropriate for me to wear this?"

After Lu Lu was embarrassed, he looked at the stunned Lu Yan suspiciously, "Could it be that you have some hidden thoughts?"

The second young lady was in poor health and went out only a few days a year. The illness had drained her body, and she was afraid of the cold but not very sensitive to it.

When she stayed in the room, she always dressed very simply, and even Baizhi and Fuling had to help her put on a cloak.

Lu Yan pulled his thoughts back and replied seriously:

“Second Miss, this is how you dress on weekdays.

You didn’t like to put on more clothes, shoes, take medicine, or eat... The servants in the courtyard were very distressed. "

Lu Yan took off his coat, draped it over Lu Lu's shoulders, picked her up and carried her horizontally, and walked towards the attic.

"It's getting late. After packing up, we should go to the Lu Mansion."

The carriage was shaking. Lu Lu, wrapped in a white fox cloak and holding a hand warmer, kept her eyes fixed on the face of the man opposite her who was taking a nap with his eyes closed.

"Lu Yan," she suddenly shouted, "Who was the person you fought with that day?"

She ran away because of anger that day, but later met Eleven who persuaded her to go back and apologize.

I accidentally saw Lu Yan fighting with another man. Both of them regarded each other as their lifelong enemy and tried to kill each other with every move.

Because they were too far away, she couldn't hear what the two said, but that was the first time she saw Lu Yan so terrifying, as if he had fallen into demon.

Did she see it?

How much did you see?

Did you hear their conversation?

Lu Yan looked at Lu Lu gloomily, the distance between them was getting closer and closer, and Lu Lu was forced into a corner.

Seeing that she was becoming more and more flustered, Lu Yan suddenly laughed, tidied her messy hair, and returned to his seat.

“He’s just an irrelevant person, so there’s no need to worry, Second Miss. However, today’s banquet is hosted by the eldest lady, so there are a lot of messy people.

Second Miss, remember this: don’t trust anyone easily except your subordinates.”

……

The dark clouds were blown away by the night wind, revealing a full moon.

Lu Yingxue hosted a banquet for everyone at the Lu Mansion in her personal capacity. The house was packed with guests and the atmosphere was very lively.

King Xiao Churan of Jinyang had long since stopped caring about worldly affairs and devoted himself to recuperating from his illness. Lu Yingxue had taken over all government affairs of Qi State, and all that was left for him to become emperor was to put on the dragon robe.

Today's banquet can be said to be the most formal banquet since Lu Yingxue came to power. It is also a banquet for everyone to have a heart-to-heart talk before ascending the throne, and it has strong political implications.

From then on, the ruler and the ministers each performed their respective duties.

The relationship between the ruler and his subjects has become an insurmountable gap.

Lu Yingxue was walking around the table holding a wine glass, while her bodyguard Lu Shen and maid Han Qiu followed her closely, holding wine.

"On behalf of the people of Qi, I would like to offer a toast to all the generals. Without your selfless dedication, we would not have the peaceful days we have today.

Maybe, we will become slaves of other countries! Maybe, we will become food for foreigners! Maybe, before that, we have died from natural disasters and man-made disasters..."

"If it weren't for you, Lord Lu, who showed up and saved the day, we wouldn't have a place to show our talents, let alone the great achievement of saving the people and the world!

Come, let's toast to Lord Lu!"

Lu Jianzhang stayed in the backyard with his wife and spent the holiday with everyone in the mansion.

In the absence of this immediate superior, the generals from the Xuanqi Army were the first to stand up and support their eldest daughter, the heir to the Zhenguo Mansion.

The remaining generals stood up and responded.

"Respectfully, Lord Lu—"

"Respect to all the generals!"

Lu Yingxue drank the wine and Hanqiu filled her glass again.

Lu Yingxue raised her glass and said:

"Cheers to the general! Cheers to peace!"

The generals shouted excitedly:

"Cheers to the general! Cheers to Taiping!"

Lu Yingxue then went to other tables and toasted them one by one, using different words each time.

What about "I hope your hearts are like mine, and we will never let each other down in this life", "You are the heroes who put an end to the troubled times, the cornerstone of the world, and a bold stroke in the long river of history", and "Without your help, the king's ambitions and hegemony will become a joke"...

These heartfelt words moved everyone present so much that the atmosphere at the table became even more heated.

There was a large round table in the backyard of the Lu residence, which made everyone seem closer.

Sitting at the main table were Lu Jianzhang and his wife, with the shameless Xiao Churan sitting on their left, and Qin Yushu and his wife, who had come specially to spend the holiday with them, sitting on their right.

Qin Yushu was the most idle of the three brothers, and was specially arranged by the eldest and second brothers to accompany and comfort Mrs. Lu.

Arranging Xiao Churan in the backyard was really a last resort.

He had not appeared in public for a long time, and his sudden appearance in the front yard on such an important occasion inevitably gave some people the wrong signal, causing the stabilized situation to be disturbed again.

After all, he is the nominal leader and the legitimate descendant of the Xiao royal family. Even if he becomes emperor, he has more legitimate rights than Lu Yingxue.

For Lu Yingxue, it would be best if he remained silent forever.

But he refused to stay in the palace, saying that he would be lonely to spend the holiday alone. He was shameless to Lu Yingxue while playing the victim to Lu Jianzhang.

The father and daughter couldn't kill him for such a small matter, so they had to agree to let him sit at the family table.

At the dinner table, Xiao Churan chatted sweetly with the elders, determined to become the favorite son-in-law candidate in the eyes of his uncles, aunts, and cousins.

When living in this world, one must always pursue a goal at all costs, and Lu Yingxue is his goal for the rest of his life.

"Is the prince determined to marry Xiaoxue?"

Qin Yushu was drinking in high spirits and took the opportunity to put his arm around Xiao Churan's shoulders.

Xiao Churan sighed faintly and said with particular grievance:

"Uncle, it's Yingxue who refuses to marry me. She always makes excuses! I'm already several years older than her. If I keep putting it off, I'll be old and ugly, and I'm afraid I'll be abandoned!"

Qin Yushu was speechless for a moment. He didn't expect Xiao Churan to be so resolute. When he was about to respond, the doorman stumbled in.

"Master, Madam, the second young lady is back!"

Lu Yan was still considered a member of the Lu Mansion, so he did not need to be checked in and out. After getting off the car at the gate, he brought Lu Lu into the mansion openly.

The girl followed closely beside Lu Yan, and the servants who saw her bowed to greet her.

The red carpet was rolled out from the main entrance to Qinxiang Garden, with nearly a hundred seats on both sides of the red carpet. When the servants' shouts came from the Chuihua Gate, the lively atmosphere of toasting and clinking glasses instantly froze.

The words "I'm back" made several people of high status present lose their composure.
