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

The emperor felt his heart sink.

Judging from the looks of Concubine Shu and the Second Prince, it was clear that something was fishy.

"Let me tell you?"

The second prince said quickly, "Father, I want to marry the eldest daughter of the Lu family, Lu Zhaoyun. She is gentle and virtuous, and she is devoted to me..."

Concubine Shu’s eyes went dark and she almost fainted.

This fool!

Didn't he say that he didn't think highly of Lu Zhaoyun? Wasn't he just having fun? When he married his first wife and she got pregnant, he would take Lu Zhaoyun in to serve him. Wouldn't that be perfect?

What to say now?

"So, this engagement is real!"

The emperor was furious and threw Zhang Jingwen onto him.

Concubine Shu quickly snatched it away and saw this one at a glance.

Seeing the above sentences which described her previous embarrassment and foolish and absurd behavior, her face turned pale.

Concubine Shu was really shocked and angry.

Who is it? Who wrote it!

She really wanted to pull the person out and twist off his head with her own hands!

At that time, she was just a young Zhaoyi who had just entered the palace not long ago and was about to be banished to the cold palace. She made a mistake and didn't know what to do. She foolishly listened to the master's words. With her status at that time, she didn't think her status was much higher than Lu Ming's.

Moreover, she also has an expectation. There are still many years left for the child to grow up. If Lu Ming works hard to climb up the social ladder, wouldn’t more than ten years be enough for him to be promoted to a higher rank?

At the time, she felt that there was nothing wrong with her idea.

But seeing how Lu Ming acted like a coward in the past two years and how he had been standing still, she knew she was very wrong.

No matter what her title was, her son was a prince! He was the emperor's bloodline.

It’s all Lu Ming’s fault, that useless piece of shit!

If he could climb up to the third or second rank, she would accept the engagement!

"Shufei, you are so bold! How dare you so hastily arrange my son's marriage on your own!" The emperor glared at Shufei angrily.

Concubine Shu fell to her knees with a thud.

"Mother..." The second prince quickly knelt down.

"Your Majesty, I had no other choice at the time!"

"Is there no way? Did the Lu family threaten you with a knife?" The emperor's face darkened.

"At that time, I didn't have the chance to see Your Majesty. I was sad and confused. I was also worried that A-Ling had a mother who was banished to the cold palace and that no one would love him in the future. Your Majesty, I only love my son out of love."

Shufei was crying, she reached out to hold the emperor's sleeve, raised her head, and looked extremely weak.

"That master said that the eldest daughter of the Lu family has a noble fate and great luck. Engaging her in marriage will be of great benefit to both families. I am really only thinking about Ah Ling."

"Then why didn't you tell me after you returned to the palace and saw me?"

The emperor felt soft-hearted when he saw her pitiful appearance.

"I have told you before," Concubine Shu moved two steps towards his feet with her knees, almost touching his legs, "The third time the emperor saw me, the night he asked me to accompany you to drink and watch the moon, I told you that I asked the emperor if I could find a wife for the second prince who would be helpful to him and decide on one first."

Is this happening?

The emperor paused.

He tried hard to recall that there was such a night, but he was drunk that night and seemed to have said a lot, and she also said a lot.

When he was drunk, he looked at her face in the moonlight. She seemed like the little girl he liked when he was young.

He remembered that he just nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, okay, okay, I agree to everything."

Later he carried her to the couch and played around with her.

Did she tell me about the engagement at that time?

When Concubine Shu looked at the emperor's appearance, tears rolled down her cheeks.

She had actually guessed over the years that the emperor might have forgotten, but she wasn't sure. It was just that the emperor didn't mention it, and she didn't say anything either.

Now it seems that the emperor has indeed forgotten and is not trying to drag it out like her.

Then what the emperor said before about the second prince’s marriage were all specious and just spoken casually, right?

"So, it's still my fault!"

"It's my fault, Your Majesty, please punish me. My current situation is all caused by Your Majesty..." The concubine cried very beautifully and delicately.

The second prince pursed his lips and said, "Father, Zhaoyun is actually quite good. She is seventeen years old this year and has always listened to me. She has not announced her engagement or arranged a marriage. It is not easy for her to face all kinds of gossip outside."

"So, you like her quite a bit?" The emperor glanced at him coldly.

The Lu family! What the hell is Lu Ming?

After all these years, he hasn't found any merit or ability to get promoted. He's really a talented person.

"Your son... just wants to be a man who keeps his promises." said the second prince.

"It says here that a marriage certificate was signed at that time? Let Lu Ming bring the marriage certificate to me first!"

The emperor turned away.

Concubine Shu sat down on the ground weakly.

"Mother, does Father agree?"

"How dare you say that? How could such a thing come out?" Concubine Shu grabbed the tabloid and threw it in his face. "Did you meet Lu Zhaoyun yesterday and she made such a fuss? My reputation will be ruined!"

If the emperor does not recognize this engagement, people outside will definitely say that she turned her back on him once she was favored. They will also say that she climbed up by stepping on this engagement!

But if she really accepted the engagement, she would be furious.

Lu Zhaoyun, how could she like him!

"Zhao Yun is not such an ignorant person."

"Besides me, the only people who know the inside story are the Lu family, right? This incident must have been caused by the Lu family! If it's not Lu Zhaoyun, then it must be Lu Ming and his wife!"

She rarely lost her composure and her voice grew louder and louder. The voice of the Sixth Princess could be heard faintly.

"Mother, Brother, please stop arguing..."

"Xiao Liu is awake?"

Concubine Shu quickly got up and ran to the bed. She saw that the Sixth Princess' face was even paler than before, and her voice trembled.

"Xiao Liu, where do you feel uncomfortable?"

The Sixth Princess screamed and vomited again.

"little six!"

What followed was another period of chaos.

Lu Zhaoling didn't know what was happening in the palace.

She was resting at home today, but after dinner, Qinglin came to invite her in. He climbed over the wall.

Lu Zhaoling took Qingbao and followed him out, leaving Qingyin to guard Tingnuan Tower.

After arriving at Prince Jin's Mansion, Qinglin took Lu Zhaoling directly to the woodshed.

Looking at the white lanterns in the garden, the dim moonlight, and the shadows of the trees, Lu Zhaoling lost his patience.

She was tired yesterday, and the Second Prince's roasted pheasant smoke didn't have much effect.

She still hasn't recovered even after a day of rest today.

"Is your prince chopping wood late at night?" Lu Zhaoling asked.

Qinglin exclaimed, "How could it be the prince's turn to chop wood?"

"Then why go to the woodshed? Are you trying to show off the size of your palace? Can you walk from the front door to the woodshed to ride a horse?" Lu Zhaoling said angrily.

It’s really far!

Before Qinglin could answer, a low laugh was heard from behind.

"I didn't know that you, Lu Er, actually thought you were a horse."

They turned around immediately and saw two guards carrying a sedan chair with Prince Jin sitting on it like a lazy bone.
