Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 119 Duanning

  Three years ago, Duanning County Lord admired Lu Lin, King of Xingyang, and shyly asked Emperor Yongjia to be a matchmaker.

  Emperor Yongjia also thought it was a good marriage and was happy to see it happen. Unexpectedly, Lu Lin rejected him as soon as he opened his mouth.

   Duanning County Lord still did not give up, and took the initiative to go to Lu Mansion.

   When the Duanning County Master wanted to come, it must be Miss Lu Si who did not want to re-marry her father. So, we have to convince Fourth Miss Lu first.

  The twelve-year-old Lu Mingyu is much taller than girls of the same age, with slender legs, heroic eyebrows, bright eyes, and straightforward words: "Is it for my father when the county chief sees me?"

   Duanning County Lord replied softly: "I'm taking the liberty of coming today, please don't take offense to Miss Lu Si."

  Lu Mingyu said: "I don't take offense. However, when the county master came to me, it was really wrong. I never objected to my father's continuation of marriage. As long as I can remember, I persuaded him to continue. It was my father who was not happy."

   These words sound like excuses no matter how you hear them.

   Duanning County Master looked at those magnanimous black eyes, and he didn't know what it was like. After a long while, he said softly: "Since Fourth Miss Lu does not object, then I will go to see King Xingyang in person."

  Lu Mingyu smiled lightly: "Okay. I also hope that you can convince my father. Don't worry, if my father wants to marry you, I will definitely respect you, and I will never deliberately make things difficult."

   Then, Duanning County Master went to see Lu Lin, confided affectionately, and bumped his nose and face.

   Duanning County Lord was hit hard by this, and he cried for a few days after returning to the County Lord's Mansion. After that, he lived in a secluded place, rarely appeared in front of people unless it was necessary, and never saw Lu Mingyu again.

  Today is Princess Jing'an's wedding ceremony, and Duanning County Lord is going to enter the palace.

The moment    saw Lu Mingyu, Duanning County Master's dead heart quietly swayed. I couldn't help but come over to talk.

   Actually, Duanning County Master doesn't mean anything else. Purely a subconscious move. Lu Mingyu slowed down and responded politely with a smile: "County Lord, haven't seen you for a long time, stay safe?"

   Duanning County Lord didn't know what to say.

   What can she say?

   Lu Lin told the truth back then and did not lie to her. In the past three years, Lu Lin has still not remarried, and I heard that there is not even a servant girl beside him.

   Such a man who was devoted to his deceased wife was worthy of all women's hearts. He didn't want to marry her, so she just silently watched him from a distance.

   Duanning County Master calmed down and said with a soft laugh, "I'm fine. You and the second prince have decided on a marriage, and when you pass the door, you'll be the second prince and concubine. You have to call me auntie too."

  Lu Mingyu smiled and nodded, sighing inwardly.

   At that time, she was really happy to have another stepmother. Duanning County Lord has a noble status, is beautiful, has a gentle temperament, and does not humiliate his father in the slightest.

  However, her own father Lu Lin was unwilling. As a daughter, she could not force her own father to re-marry.

  …

   In just two sentences, the two of them stopped their mouths.

   Empress Dowager Zhao and Queen Qiao walked over together. With Empress Dowager Zhao in front, Empress Qiao gave in a few steps to show her respect.

   Empress Dowager Zhao didn't want to see Queen Qiao, and she was barely able to live on her face. At this time, the most distinguished mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Dawei came together, and everyone greeted them together. The scene was so lively.

  The crowd, headed by Concubine Meng Gui, saluted: "I have seen the Empress Dowager."

   "All without courtesy." Empress Dowager Zhao smiled cheerfully.

   After everyone got up, Empress Dowager Zhao said with a smile: "Girl Yu, come here and support Aijia."

  Under the eyes of the public, the charming and exquisite Zhao Yu curled the corners of her mouth: "Yes, Yu'er will follow the Queen Mother's instructions." She stepped forward lightly and lifted the Queen Mother Zhao's arm.

  People: "…"

   The eccentric eyes of the Empress Dowager are really the same for many years, without any cover up.

   Queen Qiao sneered in her heart.

   However, with her restraint, she couldn't do the same thing, so she had to endure it silently.

   Meng Yunluo was full of anger, but she couldn't show it, not to mention how depressed she was.

  Meng Yunluo glanced around quickly, walked to Lu Mingyu's side while turning around, lowered her voice and said, "Look at Zhao Yu, because of the empress dowager's preference, she holds her head high and she looks angry."

  Lu Mingyu's brows didn't move: "What's wrong. The queen mother has always liked Zhao Yu, and it's not that you don't know it. Don't worry, when Su Zhaorong comes, you are the one who suffers."

  Meng Yunluo: "…"

   Meng Yunluo's lungs were so hung up that she was about to be pushed out.

   But when Lu Mingyu said so, she couldn't refute it. Su Zhaorong is Li Hao's biological mother, and Li Hao is the most filial. In the future, when she marries Li Hao, she will also have to honor Su Zhaorong.

   The more you think about it, the more depressed you are!

  Lu Mingyu glanced at Meng Yunluo, who had a tight and pretty face, and felt very happy.

  If you want Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

   As soon as Empress Dowager Zhao took her seat, Concubine Qin and Su Zhaorong came.

  Concubine Qin has been a little haggard and thin recently. Today, she deliberately wore a bright dress and put on makeup, and she had a big smile on her face.

  Su Zhaorong was born with a frail and moving appearance, and when she dresses up carefully, she becomes more and more soft and beautiful. Just looking at her appearance, she is firmly ranked first in the harem.

   The one that Empress Dowager Zhao despised the most was Su Zhaorong, who immediately frowned and pointed at her: "Today is a good day for Jing'an and Ji, how come Su Zhaorong came later than Ai's family?"

  Su Zhaorong: "…"

   Concubine Qin came with her. Empress Dowager Zhao didn't talk about Concubine Qin, she just scolded her, and deliberately made her shameless in front of everyone.

  Su Zhaorong was both aggrieved and embarrassed, so he had to bow and apologize: "The concubine is indeed late, please forgive the empress dowager."

   Empress Dowager Zhao snorted softly: "Ahao has made a marriage plan, and you are about to become a mother-in-law. In the future, you will also be a good example for your future daughter-in-law."

  Meng Yunluo: "…"

  Su Zhaorong bowed his head.

   Meng Yunluo looked at the way her future mother-in-law swallowed her anger in a low voice, and the feeling of helplessness and sullenness in her heart was indescribable.

   Looking at the corners of Lu Mingyu's mouth that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Meng Yunluo became even more angry.

   No matter how angry you are, you can't do anything about it.

   can only endure.

  Meng Yunluo took a deep breath, lowered her head, and simply went out of sight.

   After a while, the palace maid came to report back: "The auspicious time has come, and the wedding ceremony is about to begin. Please move forward."

  The crowd, headed by the Empress Dowager Zhao, got up and walked out.

  Su Zhaorong had already aimed at the position of his future daughter-in-law Meng Yunluo, but in just a few steps, he arrived at Meng Yunluo's side. The voice is weak and pitiful and helpless: "I am a little dizzy today, and my breath is not smooth."

  What can Meng Yunluo do when her mother-in-law looks like this in the future?

   Meng Yunluo had to stretch out her hand and support Su Zhaorong.

  Su Zhaorong looked grateful and moved, reached out and patted the back of Meng Yunluo's hand: "Miss Meng San is really a filial and sensible girl, Hao has a good eye."

   A sneer came from his ears.
