Mrs. Lu now focuses all her energy on throwing dirty water on Lu Zhaoling.

She spent a lot of money and asked people to find some beggars, and also bribed some people to spread the news in teahouses and taverns.

No matter what, the blame for the indiscretion at the sutra copying meeting must be firmly placed on Lu Zhaoling!

However, she soon discovered that she was not the only one doing this, there were others doing this.

Originally it was just a small matter and maybe everyone would forget about it in a few days. After all, it was quite poor character to keep talking about a little girl's embarrassing things.

However, suddenly so many people came out to put the blame on Lu Zhaoling, and this little thing became a big deal again.

Mrs. Lu didn't think too much at this time, she was rather a little proud.

"I guess the He family also took action. Tsk, that damn girl really knows how to offend people. She really deserves it."

Now it's not just her and Zhao Yun who want to beat Lu Zhaoling to death, there's also the He family.

If they fail, Miss Shen may not help, and there is also Princess Changning.

It seems that the dead girl has only been back for a few days, and she has already offended a lot of people. Moreover, she only picks on powerful people. She doesn't know how to live or die.

Mrs. Lu felt that this matter could be settled, so she hurried to coax Lu Zhaoyun again.

After hearing her words, Lu Zhaoyun finally stopped crying.

"Mom, what if she goes out and talks nonsense again?"

"The He family also made a move. Besides, the people who went to the Princess's Mansion are all familiar with you. If they don't stand on your side, how can they still testify for that damn girl? However, to be on the safe side, you can give them some gifts. If they take your things, they will be less likely to say anything."

Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu felt so heartbroken that her heart was bleeding.

Most of the guests invited by Princess Changning were daughters of wealthy and powerful people, so the gifts could not be too shabby. This way, she would have to spend a lot of money.

"I'll listen to my mother on this matter." Lu Zhaoyun snuggled into her arms.

"By the way, Yun'er, we have to hurry up with the matter with the Second Prince. You are already seventeen, and we can't delay any longer."

Thinking of this incident, Mrs. Lu was really depressed.

"How could the Second Prince talk to me about these things during the period of mourning?" Lu Zhaoyun was also very anxious.

"Hasn't the King of Jin granted the marriage? We don't say we're getting married, but we have to discuss the marriage and make it a decision. You should talk to the Second Prince nicely and be more humble. When you meet, even if it's just to let him take advantage of you..."

"mother!"

Lu Zhaoyun blushed.

How could you teach her such a thing?

Mrs. Lu disagreed. "Most men in the world are serious on the outside but dissolute on the inside, just like bees. When they see a girl, they always want to kiss her. This is normal. If a woman is too serious, she is boring."

She thought of her cousin...

Tsk, isn't it just too serious and boring? Otherwise, how could she succeed as soon as she climbed into bed?

She was able to beat her cousin back then, so there is no reason why her daughter can't beat Lu Zhaoling now.

"The second prince is not that kind of person." Lu Zhaoyun's face turned red when he heard this.

"Silly girl. If you don't give him some benefits, how can he think of you all the time? Of course, before getting married, the last step is something you can never do. You can just touch hands and hug. You have tried so hard before and failed, so you have to take the next step. Listen to your mother."

Lu Zhaoyun finally nodded.

"If this matter gets out of hand, it might make Prince Jin waver. It would be great if he could get the Emperor to revoke the imperial decree granting the marriage."

While the mother and daughter were planning how to make the Second Prince give in, they were also thinking about how to ruin Lu Zhaoling's marriage, and they didn't know that Prince Jin had already entered Tingnuan Tower.

As soon as he entered Tingnuan Building, he immediately felt that something was different here.

The originally heavy and blocked body suddenly felt lighter.

This made him not rush to find Lu Zhaoling, but he stood in the yard and looked around.

"Who?!"

Qingyin and Qingbao jumped out, and when they saw it was him, they were stunned.

"Your Majesty?"

The gate has been bolted. What is the prince doing?

Came in over the wall?

Qingyin and Qingbao looked at each other.

"Where is your young lady?" Prince Jin did not ignore the surprised looks of the two maids. They did not expect that a prince like him would do such a thing as climbing over the wall to enter the courtyard?

"Let the prince come in and make tea." Lu Zhaoling's voice came from the room.

"Your Highness, please." Qingyin and Qingbao then made way.

When Prince Jin entered the room, he saw Lu Zhaoling leaning on a soft couch by the window. There were several small plates of food on the small table beside her, including cut fruits, washed grapes, exquisite desserts, and candied fruits coated with icing sugar.

She was hugging a soft-looking square pillow, resting her chin on it, with her thick, cloud-like hair draped over her body without combing it...

It looks like a lazy and casual cat, but it is actually very attractive.

How could an average woman dare to meet people like this?

"Don't you need to comb or tie your hair when you meet guests?" Prince Jin paused for a moment, then walked to the chair next to her and sat down.

The moment he sat down, he subconsciously let out a sigh and squeezed his knees.

Although he often sat in the palace these days, his legs were almost unable to support him. If he did not leave the palace today, the emperor would most likely notice the problem with his legs.

"You make me sound like a girl in a brothel, meeting guests..." Lu Zhaoling's eyes lit up when she saw his good fortune.

No matter what you say about this man, his luck is particularly likable.

Why sit so far away?

Lu Zhaoling sat up a little, stretched out a finger towards him and hooked it.

King Jin: “…”

No, why is it like hooking a dog's leg?

He held on.

"Today, I have presented the scriptures you copied to the emperor." What he wanted to talk about was serious business.

"Come closer, we're an engaged couple, so don't be so formal." Lu Zhaoling smiled at him and hooked her fingers together again.

Prince Jin's eyes dimmed.

Sitting over there means sitting at her feet.

Her shoes were placed under the couch, indicating that she was barefoot at the moment, but they were hidden under her skirt.

Can an engaged couple in a partnership be so close?

"sentimental......"

Before Lu Zhaoling could say anything in disdain, Prince Jin had already sat down on the other side of her couch.

Satisfied, she leaned over, stretched out her hand and patted him on the shoulder, "That's right, be generous."

By the way, I got some good luck.

It is really a great tonic.

If we can sleep on the same bed, we need to take more supplements.

Prince Jin felt that her eyes were a little too ambiguous.

"Let's get down to business."

"Oh." Lu Zhaoling moved closer to him and talked about business, "Did the emperor read the scriptures?"

"I have. What else is on your paper besides the scriptures?"

"Hmm?" Lu Zhaoling suddenly reacted when she heard him ask this. She moved closer to him and looked into his eyes carefully. "You don't mean to say that you saw the secret symbol I drew, do you?"

She thought no one could see it.

“Sure enough, there is a talisman.”

King Jin grasped her wrist, pulled her close, and lowered his voice, "What is that talisman? What is it for?"
