The eldest lady is reborn, get out of the way!

Lu Qingxiao was relieved from his duty at the Jingji Garrison, and Pei Zhi ran past him like the wind.

Zhang He appeared right after.

Lu Qingxiao looked at Pei Zhi's back, then glanced at Zhang He.

Zhang He smiled and said, "The commander also wants to know why Minister Pei is in such a hurry today?"

Now that Lu Qingxiao serves as the commander of the capital's garrison, everyone has changed their tune.

Lu Qingxiao gave Zhang He a sidelong look and said, "Stop keeping us in suspense."

Zhang He smiled, moved closer to Lu Qingxiao, and whispered, "Minister Pei is going to the Duke of Ying's mansion to propose marriage today, hehe."

"Who?" Lu Qingxiao's voice instantly turned ten degrees colder.

Zhang He was immediately chilled by his commander's coldness and quickly explained, "It's not the Sixth Miss, it's the Fourth Miss!"

Lu Qingxiao recalled what Pei Zhi said at the end of the flower-viewing banquet that day. How could he be so quick-witted?

Zhang He looked at Lu Qingxiao's expression and nodded: "The commander also thinks that Minister Pei is too fast, right?"

"I asked him that, too. What do you think he said?"

Lu Qingxiao had no objection to Zhang He's identity as a nosy person, but this guy always liked to keep people in suspense.

Zhang He still knew how to read people's faces at this moment. He took two steps, imitating Pei Zhi's way of speaking, and said to Lu Qingxiao solemnly -

"You don't understand. When it comes to proposing a marriage, you have to be quick, otherwise it will be dragged on and on and end up in nothing."

Lu Qingxiao's heart shuddered when he heard this, and the coldness in his eyes grew thicker.

Zhang He hadn't noticed Lu Qingxiao's change yet, and was still laughing loudly: "Hahahaha, he's been a bachelor for so many years, but he makes it sound like he's a veteran."

Lu Qingxiao suddenly asked: "Do you think he is right?"

Zhang He nodded: "That's right."

In order to prove that Pei Zhi's theory has some truth to it, Zhang He even cited several examples of changes in marriages that occurred after being delayed for a long time.

Lu Qingxiao's face became increasingly colder, and without waiting for Zhang He to finish his words, he simply jumped on his horse and left.

"Hey! Hey~! Commander, I haven't finished yet!"

Zhang He was so disappointed that he said, "Why did you run away so suddenly? I haven't even finished what I was saying. Really."

Lu Qingxiao simply couldn't bear to listen any more.

Although Pei Zhi's straightforwardness may be annoying, he sometimes has some good points.

He was right. When it comes to proposing a marriage, you have to be quick.

It's just a proposal, not an immediate engagement.

As Lu Qingxiao was thinking, the horse under him rode faster and faster.

As soon as he returned to the Princess's residence, Lu Qingxiao went to the study and wrote a line of words, then called out the secret guards: "Hurry and give it to Shiqi, and ask her to pass it on immediately."

The secret guards came and went in a hurry and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Lu Qingxiao went straight to Linboyuan again, walking very quickly. He wished he could reach the eldest princess in an instant.

As it turned out, today was Duke Lu's day off, and the eldest princess was not in Linbo Courtyard at the moment.

Lu Qingxiao missed his target and calmed down instead.

He was already no match for Pei Zhi's speed, so he had to do this matter more carefully to avoid letting the Duke of England misunderstand his sincerity.

Just then the servant came to report that Duke Lu and the eldest princess were playing chess in the Begonia Courtyard.

Lu Qingxiao immediately turned and went to the Begonia Courtyard.

Princess Boyang was playing tricks on Duke Lu. When she heard her son coming, she took the opportunity when Duke Lu looked up to touch his two parts.

Duke Lu caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye, but pretended not to see it, and greeted his son warmly: "Wubing is here."

Lu Qingxiao bowed to his parents first, then said, "Please ask mother to go to the Duke of Ying's mansion to propose marriage on my behalf. Even if Xiaoyue said she would reconsider, I want to make my position clear first."

Princess Boyang cried out "Ah" and dropped the two black pieces in her hand in shock.

Duke Lu covered his eyes and pretended not to see anything, so how come it fell?

The princess was no longer concerned about the chess game. She was surprised and curious: "Are you serious this time?"

"Do you know what it means to be able to do it once but not three times?"

"You've teased me about this several times, you know that?"

"Your mother has a temper too!"

Princess Boyang raised her eyebrows and looked like she was about to get angry at any moment.

It’s true that she has been missing her daughter-in-law for a long time, but that doesn’t mean she can always be taken care of by her son!

The first time, she said she wanted to go, but he refused, saying he had an appointment with a little girl.

The second time, she asked him to think it over, and after thinking about it, hey ...

This is the third time!!!

Our Princess Royal also has a temper!

Big temper!

Lu Qingxiao knew that he had offended his mother, so he immediately said sincerely: "Please help me, mother. I have figured it out."

"It is absolutely true and will never be changed."

"Please ask mother to go to the Duke of England's mansion to propose marriage on behalf of your son."

Lu Qingxiao lifted his robe and knelt in front of the eldest princess.

The eldest princess looked at her son, and her eyes, which had been as cold as ice before, seemed to have a little more warmth.

Duke Lu carefully watched the eldest princess's expression, always ready to charge into battle for his son.

It was Wubing's fault. He knew that the eldest princess had been expecting him to get married for a long time, but he kept using this matter to attract the eldest princess's attention.

You deserve to be scolded!

But proposing a marriage is a big deal, so it would be cautious if the eldest princess came forward.

If His Highness is very angry, he, as a husband and a father, must do his duty and appease him when necessary, and the most important thing is to resolve his son's marriage issue first.

Lu Qingxiao knelt for a while before the princess said slowly, "Okay, but not today."

"Why not?"

Duke Lu spoke faster than his brain and blurted out the words right away.

Princess Boyang immediately turned around and glared at him: "Zhiyue's biological mother is gone, but his biological father is still alive!"

"You came to propose marriage on a day when the father of a man is not around. You really want to thwart my son's marriage, right?"

The eldest princess became angry, but she couldn't bear to scold her son, so she scolded her husband instead!

"I just took two of your sons! You are so vindictive! You even want to ruin your son's marriage!"

The eldest princess got angry and started to blame Duke Lu.

Duke Lu kept winking at Lu Qingxiao: No! No! Your father didn’t mean that!

Lu Qingxiao gave him a look of sympathy and understanding: Son, I understand that you have suffered.

The eldest princess's angry voice continued, but Lu Qingxiao felt relieved.

As soon as the Duke of Ying returned home from his rotation, he immediately asked his mother and father to go and propose marriage together.

He only wants Little Moon, and he only wants to be with her in this life.

-

Before dinner, Jiang Zhiyue received the message from Lu Qingxiao's secret guard.

She unfolded it and her eyes suddenly widened as she read the words on the note several times.

After a while, she put the note away and looked at Shiqi: "Did he say anything?"

Shiqi shook his head.

Jiang Zhiyue waved his hand and Shiqi retreated.

She unfolded the note again. The words on it were vigorous and powerful, just like him, exuding a sense of reliability and calmness.

Jiang Zhiyue raised her hand to cover her heart. She could hear her heartbeat much faster than usual.

She was also happy that he wanted to propose marriage.
