The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

"Cough cough."

Lu Ming coughed.

We can't just ignore so many of them, can we?

What's the point of two people being so affectionate? They should talk about the engagement quickly.

Lu Zhaoyun woke up as if from a dream.

"Your Highness, please take a seat."

They sat down, Lu Ming had someone serve tea, and they chatted about some irrelevant things before getting down to business.

"Your Highness, you see, Zhaoyun is seventeen years old. This age is really not young. Even if she doesn't get married, the marriage should be arranged."

Lu Ming was not a cunning person and spoke quite frankly, although he also found a reason.

"A few days ago, a colleague came to ask me what I thought and praised his nephew highly. I think he has chosen Zhaoyun. A few days ago, one of our aunts also came to ask about Zhaoyun's marriage every few days. She said that there are some bad rumors outside. Zhaoyun is the eldest daughter of the Lu family. She is old enough, but she has not talked about marriage. I don't know what's wrong."

Lu Ming was not completely talking nonsense about this.

There is such speculation outside. After all, Lu Zhaoyun is already seventeen years old. At this age, which girl has not already arranged a marriage or got married? Some are even mothers.

"Your Highness, as a father, I am also anxious."

Lu Ming paused, then retreated to advance, and said to the Second Prince in a very sad tone, "If it really doesn't work, I'll ask Madam to ask Zhao Yun about it, and forget about the engagement. I also know that the Lu family's status is indeed low."

After saying this, his eyes became dim and he lowered his head and sighed, looking very pitiful.

Lu Zhaoyun's eyes turned red, and he looked at the Second Prince, "Your Highness, I, I am thinking..."

The Second Prince didn't expect Lu Ming to call off the engagement this time. They had only urged him to do so before. It seemed that Zhao Yun couldn't wait any longer because of her age.

Seeing Lu Zhaoyun's pitiful and weak expression again, the second prince felt a little distressed.

"Mother does... think Uncle Lu's official position is a bit low, but I am sincere to Zhaoyun, and I will definitely not disown the engagement. This time, I came here to discuss with Uncle Lu how to raise your official position."

The second prince’s words made Lu Ming’s heart skip a beat.

Are you going to give him a promotion?

But he had no other options or solutions!

Although Lu Ming always felt that he had talent and ability but was not appreciated, he really couldn't achieve any results by scheming.

"Your Highness, please give me some directions. What should I do?"

"The summer hunt will be held next month," the second prince lowered his voice even lower, "This time, the emperor wants to go too. Uncle Lu, I will find a way to get you to go with me. If you are more careful, you may be able to gain some credit and show up in front of the emperor. Then I will make some arrangements to get you a favor."

Lu Ming's heart beat even faster.

With his position, it is definitely not his turn to go to Xia Lie! But with the help of the Second Prince, there will be no problem. From what the Second Prince said, if he can make a contribution in front of the Emperor, then won’t this gift come?

If he brings up the marriage proposal again at that time, Concubine Shu probably won't object too much!

Come to think of it, given his current family background, even if Concubine Shu recognized the marriage, the Emperor might not agree!

The engagement was not very clear back then.

Lu Ming decided to listen to the second prince!

He wants to climb up!

"Then Zhaoyun and I will listen to Your Highness!" Lu Ming suppressed his excitement, "Your Highness, what should we prepare?"

"I'll go back and make some arrangements and then send you a message. You have to prepare well this time." said the second prince.

"Yes."

After the Second Prince finished his business, he glanced at the members of the Lu family in the hall who were all looking at him eagerly but did not dare to speak casually. He felt a little complicated.

In fact, he was both satisfied and dissatisfied with the Lu family.

They said they were satisfied because they respected him very much and looked at him as if he were their god. Although he was favored in the palace, in the eyes of the court officials, he was always inferior to the prince!

Some people also felt that no matter what, he was not greater than the crown prince, and thus discounted their respect for him.

Only the Lu family has eyes for him.

In front of the Lu family, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

But the reason why he was dissatisfied was that the Lu family's status was indeed too low and they would not be able to provide him with any help in the future.

So he still had to find a way to push Lu Ming up.

It’s a pity that his Zhaoyun was born in such a family. It would have been great if she was born in the prime minister’s family.

After talking about this, the second prince looked at Lu Zhaoyun and said, "Zhaoyun, it's rare for me to come out, why don't I take you for a walk on the street?"

Of course Lu Zhaoyun wanted to go.

If they go to a silver shop later, the second prince will definitely buy it for her!

"Zhao Yun, come and accompany His Highness for a walk." Lu Ming also happily urged them to go out.

"Your Highness, can I go with you?" Lu Zhaoyue spoke quickly. She was almost suffocating. The Second Prince had been whispering with her father and sister, and she didn't dare to say a word.

"Then let's go together." The second prince was in a good mood at the moment and didn't mind taking the little girl who called him brother-in-law with him.

Lu Zhaohua quickly stepped forward, "Your Highness, I..."

Lu Zhaoyun's face darkened. It was okay for her to bring Zhaoyue with her, after all, she was her biological sister. But how could Lu Zhaohua, a concubine's daughter, be so shameless?

"Let's go together." The second prince looked at Lu Zhaohua, and his eyes flashed.

The concubine daughter of the Lu family is beautiful and fresh. She seems to be the type that someone likes?

The Lu family needs more help. To grow the family, they need to absorb more forces. For Zhaoyun, this concubine should also do her part.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Lu Zhaohua was so surprised that he almost jumped up.

She had already prepared herself to be rejected, but she didn't expect that the Second Prince would be willing to take her with him!

The three sisters of the Lu family all followed the second prince out, but Lu Zhaoling didn't know about it.

She took Qingyin and Qingbao to go on a trip. This time, Lao Ma drove the cart, and Xiaoliu sat next to him.

When an expert takes action, the difference is obvious.

The carriage is steady and fast.

Lu Zhaoling was quite satisfied.

However, I didn't see any suitable house.

Lu Zhaoling looked at two places. One house was suitable, but the surrounding area was too noisy and she didn't like it.

There is another place, which is quiet around, but she doesn't like the house because it has bad feng shui and is damp.

But after getting so much money, she felt uncomfortable if she didn't spend some of it, so Lu Zhaoling calculated and pointed in a direction.

"Old Ma, go over there and stop when you see a big locust tree." Lu Zhaoling said.

"Yes."

Old Ma had no questions. He would just do whatever Lu Zhaoling said. However, Xiao Liu was a little curious.

"Miss, if we go in this direction, there must be a big locust tree?"

This seems to be what Lu Zhaoling meant.

"Yes, there will be." Lu Zhaoling said with certainty.

She seldom calculated for herself, but after the calculation just now, she calculated that going in that direction would be auspicious for her.

The carriage drove through the long street and entered an area that was obviously more open and prosperous.
