Your Highness, has he stopped today?

For the past few days, Lu Zheyu went to the court early in the morning as usual, and returned home at that time.On the surface, Shi Yunjing was obediently waiting for him in the other garden every day, but in fact, he secretly sent Chu Heng to investigate what happened to Lu Zheyu in the palace that day.It's just that no results were found for several days. After all, he had promised Lu Zheyu not to send spies to the palace again, but it was really difficult to find any results without entering the palace.

Today, when the imperial court was under court, Yu Deye, the eunuch next to Emperor Chongde, came to ask Lu Zheyu if he had considered the marriage offer, so Lu Zheyu had to deal with it first.

Lu Zheyu was always irritable because of this matter, and he stopped resting with Shi Yunjing at night.Shi Yunjing saw that he was in a bad mood, so she didn't force him.It's just that he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so he would secretly sneak into the warm pavilion with his pillow in his arms, and climb onto Lu Zheyu's bed.Lu Zheyu wanted to drive people away, but Shi Yunjing, a brown sugar, could not be driven away so easily, and it was not easy to make too much noise in the middle of the night, so Lu Zheyu had no choice but to let him go.

Finally came the day of rest and bathing, and Lu Zheyu didn't need to go to court.Shi Yunjing was very happy, it was rare to wake up and have breakfast with him.The simple and mediocre breakfast seems to be more delicious today than usual. When Shi Yunjing drank milk, his lips were stained. Lu Zheyu handed him a handkerchief and asked him to wipe it. Shi Yun But Jing leaned forward, her face full of "you wipe it for me".Lu Zheyu threw the handkerchief on the table, and said with his eyes, "Will you wipe it if you like it?"

Shi Yunjing smiled, took advantage of his unpreparedness and suddenly kissed the corner of his lips, and rubbed the milk on his lips, Lu Zheyu frowned, very disgusted, without caring about being a gentleman, directly wiped off the milk sticking to his lips with the back of his hand , Seeing the look of the person next to him after he had succeeded, he couldn't eat the breakfast anymore, so he got up and left, but Shi Yunjing refused, and dragged him to entangle him again.

The little maid who was serving at the side blushed, she stood with her head down and was at a loss, she could only let the two masters flirt.

Lu Zheyu wanted to go out but was so entangled that she couldn't get away. She raised her head and glanced at the helpless little maid, coughed lightly and ordered: "It's all right here, just go down."

The little maid hurriedly bowed and bowed out of the place of right and wrong.

When Shi Yunjing had had enough fun, she picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth clean, and said with a light smile, "I haven't finished eating yet."

"Keep eating before you finish eating." Lu Zheyu glanced at him, "Why don't you have long hands? Do you want someone to feed you?"

"That's not necessary," Shi Yunjing picked up the chopsticks again, tilting her head as if thinking about which dish to eat, "But if you feed me, that's of course the best."

Lu Zheyu didn't bother to talk to him.After a while, when Shi Yunjing was almost done eating, the little maid came back in a hurry.

"It's just in time to come back, let's clear the table." Shi Yunjing ordered.

The little servant girl bowed and saluted, with an eager expression on her face: "My lord, there is someone from the palace. It seems that he is a commissioner, and he has already arrived at the main hall."

Commissioner?It seems that the decree has arrived.Lu Zheyu's expression froze instantly, and there was always a bad premonition in his heart.He stood up and was about to go out to receive the order, but suddenly turned around and looked at Shi Yunjing who was sitting aside, walked up to him and leaned over to put his hands on his shoulders, and said calmly: "It's the imperial order. You just stay there In the other garden, don't go out, wait for me to come back. Although the imperial edict officer doesn't know you, it's always bad to see you, understand?"

Shi Yunjing looked at his serious expression, put both hands on his lap obediently, and nodded.

Lu Zheyu settled down, looked down to see that there was nothing wrong with her attire, and just walked out of the room, closing the door by the way.

After leaving the Bieyuan, walked through the long corridor, and came to the courtyard of the main hall of the Hou Mansion. There were already kneeling servants in the courtyard. Lu Chi was kneeling in the center in front of him. side.

The Chengzhi officer unfolded the golden forging scroll and read it aloud: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's edict said: Wujie General Lu Zheyu, who has been a hostage in Chu for more than half a year, led the Yuan army to recover six border cities and seize thirteen cities in the northwest. .Great talents, brave and good at fighting, Dingyuanhou and his family are indeed the pillars of our dynasty."

Lu Zheyu secretly thought in his heart, hoping that the imperial decree was just some rewards.But a few days ago, the reward was also rewarded, and the seal was also sealed. Today's decree must be more than that.

The Chengzhi officer continued to read: "Today there is Princess Wuyang who is outstanding in appearance, skillful and gentle, and General Wujie is a match made in heaven and earth. The two of them are engaged in a marriage contract. In order to become a beautiful woman, we specially marry Wuyang to Lu Zhe. Jade, and I will also give you the residence of the consort and gold."

Lu Zheyu froze on the spot.The most unexpected thing happened after all.That day in the imperial study, Emperor Chongde clearly promised him to think about it for a few more days, why today...

The officer in charge took a look at him from the corner of his eye, and finally said: "Let all the etiquette be handled by the Ministry of Rites. Choose a good day to get married, and hereby." After finishing speaking, he rolled up the brocade scroll and walked in front of Lu Chi and Lu Zheyu, Handed the brocade scroll to him with both hands.

"Congratulations, General Lu."

Lu Zheyu's face was blank, and he didn't move for a long time. He stared at the scroll in front of him, his eyes were hot, as if he wanted to burn a hole out of it.

Lu Chi glanced at him sideways, and seeing that he hadn't moved, he stretched out his hand to take the scroll, and said, "On behalf of my son, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

After saying that, Lu Chi stood up, Lu Zheyu was still kneeling there motionless, but fortunately, the young fellow next to him was clever, and quickly helped his young master up.

When the decree came, the decree officer had a panoramic view of Lu Zheyu's reaction, and wanted to leave, but Lu Chi sent someone to see him off.

After he left, Lu Chi turned to look at the person, his voice was a bit cold: "Why, it's just a marriage, and your soul is lost?"

Only then did Lu Zheyu's face feel a little moved. He frowned, turned around and wanted to leave: "I want to go to the palace to meet His Majesty."

"Come back!" Lu Chi shouted sharply. "Your Majesty has just issued an imperial decree, do you want to resist the decree and not respect it?"

Lu Zheyu stopped and clenched his fists, fingers tightened.

Lu Chi said coldly: "Turn around."

Lu Zheyu did as he did, lowering his head, waiting for his father to reprimand him.

Lu Chi: "I used to see that you were calm and calm when you were in trouble. Since you came back from Xingcheng, how many ridiculous things have you done! Now go to His Majesty, and you will defy the holy will just after you have made military achievements and received a reward. as simple as that?"

Lu Zheyu let out a long breath, trying to calm himself down.Lu Chi glanced at him, and said two words in a deep voice: "Go back to the house."

Shi Yunjing stayed in the other garden for a while but no one came back, he quietly opened the door, just in time to see a little maid walking over.Shi Yunjing waved at him, and asked softly: "Have the people in the palace left?"

The servant girl responded respectfully: "I have already left, and now the young master is talking to Lord Hou."

"Then what does the edict say?" Shi Yunjing asked.

The servant girl looked embarrassed: "The servant girl is just in charge of sweeping and cleaning, and I didn't hear what the imperial decree said. But judging by the expression on the young master's face, it seems that it is not very good."

When Shi Yunjing heard this, she gradually frowned.He waved his hand to signal the servant girl to back down, after thinking about it, he left the other garden to look for Lu Zheyu in the main garden.

In the front hall, the two were sitting on armchairs, Lu Zheyu's complexion was extremely gloomy, and everything he was thinking was written on his face.

Lu Chi looked at his usually prudent son now looking like he was in a catastrophe, and he hated iron for being weak, but he had to hold back his temper and asked in a deep voice: "Tell me what you think, do you not want to get married, or do you want to get married?" Don't want to marry Princess Wuyang?"

Lu Zheyu still lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Both."

"Then tell me, why don't you want to get married?"

Lu Zheyu remained silent.In the past, he had never cared about marriage. Even if he wanted to get married, he only needed to find a woman of the right family. As for who the other party was, he never cared.But now... Lu Zheyu involuntarily tightened his five fingers, he didn't even know why Shi Yunjing appeared in his mind at this moment.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lu Chi said coldly, "I've already interrogated Feng Yang."

Lu Zheyu was startled, raised her head suddenly, and stood up abruptly: "Why is Dad interrogating him? He doesn't know much about me and Shi Yunjing."

"Has the old man ever mentioned this person? Are you calling yourself out?" Lu Chi snorted coldly, "Sit down now!"

Lu Zheyu sat back silently, unable to say anything.At this time, he had indeed lost the ability to think calmly.

"Before Dingyuan's army attacked the city, Feng Yang asked you to obtain the defense map of Xingcheng and Chu Palace. You hesitated, presumably because of the sixth prince." Lu Chi said lightly.

Lu Zheyu gritted her teeth, and admitted with a calm face: "Yes."

"Oh." Lu Chi sneered. "Sure enough, it's because of deep love and righteousness. If Princess Su Ning is willing to entrust him to you, it must be because she trusts you very much."

"I'm only entrusted by others to be loyal to this matter, and Shi Yunjing and I have not overstepped the rules." Lu Zheyu's expression was extremely grim.

"In this case, why don't you want to marry Princess Wuyang?" Lu Chi looked at him with a frown.

Lu Zheyu didn't answer.After thinking about it, he didn't know how to answer.

After a long time, Lu Chi sighed, his voice mixed with a bit of old age: "You are the only son in the Hou family, your mother is weak, and now she is practicing in the temple all the year round, and she has not left you any siblings." Lu Chi paused for a moment , and then said, "Aside from the imperial decree, if you just don't want to marry Princess Wuyang, then marry another woman."

Lu Zheyu closed his eyes, feeling a sudden pain in his heart.

But Wen Luchi continued: "But if you have been ambiguous with the sixth prince, he is a nobleman of the Chu family, he is also a descendant, and he has the Xiao family as his backer, then he will inherit the throne in the future , who do you consider him to be?"

Lu Chi glanced at him, and said sharply: "Since Gaozu, the title of Marquis of Dingyuan has been passed down for several generations. Why, you don't want to get married, because you want this title to be successful without anyone else?"

Hearing this, while standing outside the door eavesdropping, Yunjing accidentally stepped on a small piece of dead branch, and with a crackling sound, he was startled, only worried that the people inside would find him, and quickly ran away without thinking. .
