Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 292 Faceless

  Lu Mingyu looked at the attentive and warm-hearted Princess of Dongping County, and twitched the corners of his mouth: "The fifth sister is still young, so she cannot be praised so highly by the Princess. I thank the Princess on behalf of the fifth sister."

  The Duke of Dongping County is the cousin of Emperor Yongjia. After Emperor Yongjia sat on the dragon chair, he made the Duke of Dongping County be the zongzheng of the ancestral house, and was in charge of all the royal clansmen. Among the clansmen, the Duke of Dongping is also a figure of real power.

   A wife is more valuable than her husband. The princess of Dongping County also rose with the tide, and she was quite decent inside and outside the palace.

   In terms of seniority, Lu Mingyu should follow Li Jing to address the princess of Dongping County as auntie.

   As soon as the princess of the county exited her mouth, she immediately appeared a little rusty and indifferent.

   The princess of Dongping County didn't see Lu Mingyu's indifference, but she still smiled earnestly: "The daughters of the Lu family are all outstanding, just look at the princess and the concubine."

  Lu Mingyu glanced at the smiling princess of Dongping County, and replied lukewarmly, "Thank you for the praise from the princess of the county."

  Dongping County Princess: "..."

   Forget it, she should shut up first!

  Lu Mingyu's eyes flashed slightly, and he snorted coldly.

   In a previous life, Lu Mingyue married Li Yan, the prince of Dongping County.

  The relationship between the young couple has always been good. However, the Prince of Dongping County is a snob, and his mind is active. Seeing that Empress Lu lost her power, she immediately stood on the side of the new emperor.

  The Princess of Dongping County also held Empress Dowager Su everywhere. She was very dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law Lu Mingyue’s frequent visits to the Queen, and she criticized her many times.

  Lu Mingyue has a stubborn temper. No matter how hard her mother-in-law made things difficult and mean, she just swallowed it and entered the palace as usual.

   Fortunately, Li Yan felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, and he stood up every time to protect Lu Mingyue.

   It’s just that there are many ways for a mother-in-law to embarrass a daughter-in-law. Li Yan is going to be an errand, and he can't stay in the back house every day. Lu Mingyue really suffered a lot.

   How could Lu Mingyu have a good face when facing the princess of Dongping County?

  The attitude of the Crown Princess was so obvious that the female relatives present were neither deaf nor blind, and they quickly sensed something was wrong. It is inconvenient to discuss in front of everyone, at most wink at each other.

  Look, the princess of Dongping County was flattering on the horse's leg!

  …

  After the banquet in the palace, the princess of Dongping County said goodbye to the crown princess with a smile, and then left the palace with a smile and returned to the mansion.

   When she returned to the Prince’s Mansion, the smile on the Princess Dongping’s face, which had been on her face for a long time, suddenly collapsed, and she sat sulking for a long time.

   When the Duke of Dongping County returned to the mansion, the Princess of Dongping County said angrily, "I lost a lot of people in the palace today! Don't you know? How can you still drink?"

  The Duke of Dongping drank a lot of wine and felt dizzy. Hearing this, he rolled his eyes: "Well, who dares to make you angry!"

   This is not because the Duke of Dongping County is too proud of himself. Entering the palace as the princess of Dongping County, it is Queen Qiao, who is also quite polite to the princess of Dongping County.

  Who has the guts to mess with her?

  The Princess of Dongping County gritted her teeth and said, "Who else could it be! Isn't that the domineering Lu family who came from a general family!"

  The Duke of Dongping frowned, and he suddenly woke up halfway from the drink: "How did you meet the Crown Princess?"

   This is not a jerk!

   Just look at the current situation of Concubine Meng and her son. Anyone who provokes Lu Mingyu must weigh their weight.

  The princess of Dongping County was full of bad luck: "How dare I provoke her. Today, Miss Lu Wu entered the palace. I saw that she was young, beautiful, smart, and suitable for our Ayan, so I complimented Miss Lu Wu a few words."

   "Who would have thought that the Crown Princess was lukewarm and almost told me to shut up in front of everyone."

The Duke of Dongping was relieved and glanced at the past: "Ayan is only thirteen years old, and that Lu Wu girl is just a little girl. You praise Lu Wu girl in front of everyone, the drunkard's intention is not drinking, Who can't hear it? It's right for the Crown Princess to give you a shame."

   "If you want to get married, you can privately inquire about the Lu family's tone, and ask the official media to come to the door to propose marriage. Such abrupt and rash things should never be done in the future."

   The complaint failed, but he was taught a lesson instead.

   The princess of Dongping County became more and more aggrieved, but her voice lowered: "I also said a few words casually. It was abrupt and reckless. It was clearly the crown princess who didn't like me and deliberately made me shameless."

  The Duke of Dongping said impatiently: "You also know that she is the Crown Princess! She has no face for you, what can you do? She even dares to show the face of the Queen Mother, let alone a princess of the county."

   "If you can't afford it, you should stay away from her in the future. If you see her, just say a few words less."

  Dongping County Princess: "..."

  The Princess of Dongping County was sulking in her heart, and said, "What about Miss Lu Wu? Is this marriage settled or not?"

  The King of Dongping County thought for a moment and said: "This matter is not urgent for now. We will talk about it in a year or two. You secretly pay attention to Miss Lu Wu. If you really like it, I will personally go and ask the King of Xingyang to marry him."

  …

   Jiaofang Hall.

   Everyone ordered to leave one by one, and then the palace concubines also retired.

   Soon, only Queen Qiao, Princess Hui'an and Lu Mingyu were left.

   Princess Hui'an spoke quickly and said with a smile: "Second brother and sister are really majestic today, so I will give Princess Dongping County a shame when she opens her mouth."

  The King of Dongping County is a wall-headed grass, good at both sides.

  The princess of Dongping County is even more snobbish. As soon as she enters the palace, she goes to Shouning Palace to flatter her, and she also walks around with Meng Fei’s mother and son a lot. Of course, she comes to Jiaofang Palace a lot of times to greet her, and the etiquette is sufficient. However, it is not close to the mother and son of Queen Qiao.

   Princess Hui'an didn't like the princess of Dongping County, but Lu Mingyu's actions today were quite relieved.

   Queen Qiao was much more careful and keener than Princess Hui'an, and gave Lu Mingyu a deep look: "You don't want the Lu family to marry the Prince of Dongping County?"

Lu Mingyu raised his eyebrows: "Whether or not to marry is a matter of the future. I just can't get used to her frivolous behavior. Complimenting the fifth sister in front of so many people, I almost miss the fifth sister. The words of my daughter-in-law are written on her face. She can't be married as a Lu family girl, and she can't choose!"

   Princess Hui'an immediately nodded in approval: "That's right, in order to get married, you must have the sincerity of asking for marriage. This is really too rash."

Empress Qiao talked about the matter and said with a smile: "You can beat her for a few words. But Ayan is indeed a good man. He is smart in reading and talented in martial arts. He is also one of the first-class young people of the same age in the royal family. He has a good temperament, neither arrogant nor arrogant, respectful to his elders, and lively and witty in private. From the point of view of this palace, there is no need to dismiss a good marriage for the sake of leisure."

  Lu Mingyu also sighed inwardly.

  Yes, in-laws are not a good thing, Li Yan is a good brother-in-law, and has always been very good to the fifth sister. The two young couples love each other very much.

   You can't ruin a good marriage for these two old things.
