Destiny in this life: Sisterly love is deep and dreams are sweet

Early the next morning, Lu Wanxi and Lu Yanhua had breakfast and went to Yuzhuxuan, Lu Hengbai's courtyard. This Yuzhuxuan really followed the owner's preferences. Quiet and indifferent, there are no gorgeous furnishings. Apart from ordinary furniture, the most common thing in the room is bookcases.

When Lu Yanhua saw the two big bookcases, he couldn't help but sigh, he really wanted to take the imperial examination. Compared with my college entrance examination, my books pale into insignificance compared with these. No wonder people say that the imperial examination is difficult. With so many people across the country taking the exam every three years, it is naturally difficult. Moreover, only men can take the exam, and women cannot take the scientific exam.

Lu Yanhua had to lament again that it is still modern society, and feudal society has destroyed countless women.

"Brother, are you feeling better?"

"It's much better now. The doctor said it will be fine in a few days, so you don't have to worry."

"That's good."

As the eldest brother, Lu Hengbai let his sister stand in front of him, feeling ashamed of them. "Yan Hua, eldest brother wants to say sorry to you."

"Brother, please don't say that. We are a family. Why are you so weird?"

"Brother failed miserably."

"Who said that? My eldest brother is the best eldest brother in the world." Lu Yanhua also heard later that Lu Hengbai, as the eldest son and grandson of the Fan Yang Lu family, had shouldered a lot since he was a child. He did not fall behind even in studying and practicing martial arts. Following his father's wishes, he devoted himself to reading the books of sages and became an official in the imperial examination in the future.

On the way back, Lu Yanhua took Lu Wanxi's arm and said, "Sister, do you feel that your elder brother is under a lot of pressure?"

"A little bit, but if you think about it carefully, the pressure is really great. After all, you have to take the scientific examination, just like we take the college entrance examination. And it is more difficult than our college entrance examination, so the pressure is naturally greater."

"Sure enough, exams can bring endless pressure to people no matter what time they are."

Lu Wanxi smiled and said: "Are you stressed? Where do you get the pressure from the college entrance examination?"

There is no pressure on Lu Yanhua. She is very open-minded. She worked very hard in her senior year of high school, but she has a very good attitude. Her parents did not put so much pressure on her. After all, life is not the only way to take the college entrance examination.

"I don't have it, but don't you have it? You forgot that you took the final exam in the last semester of your senior year of high school, and you cried directly after the exam."

Lu Wanxi thought of her parents' expectations and teachers' expectations in the first semester of her senior year of high school. That period was indeed the most stressful time for her. She even had insomnia and was slightly depressed, but luckily she had Yan Hua with her.

"Yes! I don't want to remember that kind of pressure in my whole life."

"I hope eldest brother can also handle the pressure!"

"Ok!"

"Let's go!"

That night when Lu Yanhua returned to the Hou Mansion and passed by Lan Yue Pavilion, she heard Lu Yanru yelling inside. "Father, let your daughter out. She will be obedient, Father."

Lu Yanhua deliberately stayed at the door for a while, and the guard stepped forward to salute, "Second girl, why are you here?"

"I was just passing by to take a look. She has been acting like this these past few days."

"Back to the second girl, the third girl will run into the yard at night and yell. The maids and women are too lazy to take care of it, so they have to leave it to her."

Lu Yanru inside, heard Lu Yanhua's voice, became extremely emotional, and roared: "Lu Yanhua, you bitch, it was you who instigated that old woman. It was you who instigated our mother and daughter to end up like this."

Lu Yanhua had no hatred or grudge against her, but he just couldn't stand people like her and wanted to help the original owner. But she is not that noble, and she will not be merciful to her.

"Young lady, please order someone to stop her mouth."

"No, let her scream! Anyway, she is the one who is tired, and her voice is hoarse from shouting. She is the one who suffers, and it can't hinder me."

Lu Yanhua left here because of her own misfortune. She ended up like this all by herself.

"Girl, when do you think the old lady will release the third girl?"

"Didn't Grandma say that? When she reaches the age of hair, release her, find a good match for her, and send her off to get married."

Fuling said: "That's less than a year away."

Lu Yanhua didn't know how old Lu Yanru was. After all, he never asked. She was only one year younger than him. Did he think she was two years younger no matter what? Lu Yanhua scolded Lu Hongye again in her heart. He was a scumbag. How dare he explain to himself?

Back at Yihuaxuan, Poria cocos waited on her to rest. Lu Yanhua fell asleep and never suffered from insomnia.

In Ningxiang Courtyard, when Lu Wanxi was about to go to sleep, Mrs. Lin knocked on the door, "Wanxi, are you asleep? I am mother."

Lu Wanxi got out of bed and put on a coat, "No, mother, wait."

Lu Wanxi hurriedly came to open the door for Lin, "Mom, it's so late, why are you here?"

"Mom has something to say to you."

Lu Wanxi held her arm, and the two of them entered the room together. After Lin sat down, Lu Wanxi poured her a cup of tea, "Mom, take it easy."

"Sit down, mother has something important to say to you."

Lu Wanxi sat down and saw her mother's expression solemn. It seemed like it was a very important matter. "What did mother want to say?"

"You and Yan Hua are going to enter the palace someday, and there are some things my mother would like to tell you."

"Mother, please tell me."

Mrs. Lin took Lu Wanxi's hands. Her daughter was going to be the crown princess. Although Mrs. Lin was reluctant to let her daughter enter the palace, this was the path she had to take.

"I think it was probably the Queen's idea to summon you and Yan Hua to the palace this time."

Lu Wanxi frowned, what's going on? "The Queen?"

"Why do you think Princess Anle appeared at the polo field so coincidentally? Our Fanyang Lu family is famous all over the world, and you are the eldest daughter. It is inevitable that the queen likes you and wants you to be the crown princess. Mother is worried about , do you really want to be the Crown Princess? After all, this is related to your lifelong happiness."

Lu Wanxi first carefully asked: "Mother, do I have to be the crown princess?"

"If you don't do it, your father and your second uncle will ask Yan Hua to do it. But Yan Hua's temperament is not suitable for the crown princess. Yanru is a concubine, how can the crown prince of Daqi be a concubine? So, you It’s the most suitable.”

"But why is mother so sure that our Fan Yang Lu family's daughter will definitely become the crown princess?"

The reason why the Lin family is so sure is because of the Fan Yang Lu family's current status in the court and the prestige accumulated by the Fan Yang Lu family's ancestors over the past hundred years.

"The Fanyang Lu family is a century-old family. No family in the entire Da Qi can compete with it. Your father is Ning Guogong, and your second uncle is Xiangyang Marquis. Both of them have received great attention from His Majesty, and His Majesty trusts them so much. The Crown Princess's Our family is determined to win this position.”

"My daughter understands that since I am the most suitable candidate, my daughter will definitely live up to her father and mother's expectations."

Mrs. Lin saw that she was unwilling. After all, once she entered the palace gate, which was as deep as the sea, there was no turning back.

"There is nothing wrong with being a crown princess. It is a position that many women dream of. Wanxi, you must stay awake at all times. You are the one who wants to be the crown prince's wife. No matter how many women or children he has in the future, you must understand that only you She is his only wife, and your children are his legitimate children. Those Yingying Yanyan, what are they? They are just concubines, and the children born to them are concubines. Even if the prince dotes on them, they will still be concubines after all. "

"A woman from an aristocratic family should have her own pride. Don't be fooled by a man's sweet words, and don't hand over your heart casually. Your heart only belongs to you. If you give it to others, your heart will not be with you." If it belongs to you anymore, then you will no longer be Lu Wanxi, and you will no longer be yourself."

"You are going to be the Crown Princess, the Queen, and the Queen Mother in the future. If you are bound by a small love, you will only be hurt. Do you understand?"

This was the first time Lu Wanxi heard these words. In this era, aristocratic families cultivated their daughters in this way. Daughters from aristocratic families are also expected to be head wives. They have long been accustomed to treating concubines and concubines strangely.

Mrs. Lin is right. As a woman from a noble family, she should be proud. Small love and love are ultimately unreliable. In this life, a woman can only rely on herself.

"My daughter understands, and my mother can rest assured. If her daughter becomes the crown princess, she will definitely be a qualified wife of the crown prince, just like her mother said."

Mrs. Lin looked relieved. This road was not easy to walk, but they had no room to look back.

"The road under your feet must be walked step by step by yourself. But once you set foot on this road, you can only continue to move forward and never look back."

"What the mother said is that her daughter will never look back. There is a long road ahead. No matter what setbacks she encounters, her daughter will persevere."

Mrs. Lin touched her head miserably, "Ms. Fan Yang Lu will always be your support. No matter what happens, your father and mother will be your backers. Don't be afraid. The road ahead is difficult and dangerous, so you need to be cautious and careful in your words and deeds." "

"Ok!"

"It's getting late, go to sleep! Mother is going back first."

"A daughter sends her mother."

Lu Wanxi sent Lin to the door, closed the door, and leaned against it. "There is no turning back when you shoot a bow. Be cautious in your words and deeds. Don't make mistakes."

On the day they entered the palace for the banquet, Mrs. Lin got up early and dressed up the two of them herself. I just got some fine brocade clothes a few days ago, and they came in handy today.

Lu Wanxi wore a thin peony hookah silk brocade dress, a lily bun, two gold butterfly hairpins inlaid with beads and stones on her head, and a pair of four butterflies waving in silver steps on both sides. Elegant and generous, pure and refined without losing identity.

Lu Yanhua is wearing a Qianshui skirt with an ancient pattern of double butterflies and clouds, an upturned bun, and two jade hairpins with butterfly patterns.

Mrs. Lin looked at the two of them carefully, for fear of missing something. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, Lu Wanxi and Lu Yanhua entered the palace in a carriage.

In the carriage, Lu Wanxi felt a little uncomfortable, and her palms were sweating all the time.

Lu Yanhua was looking forward to it very much. After all, he could enter the palace. It was a place where he could see a lot of great things about the world. It would definitely be a worthwhile trip.

"Sister, please stop shaking your legs. It makes me nervous."

"Aren't you nervous?"

"What's there to be nervous about? It's not like you're going to take the college entrance examination. Just relax."

Lu Wanxi couldn't be as calm as her, her heart was always beating wildly. "Why am I so nervous?"

"Oops! Relax, take a deep breath, inhale~exhale~"

Seeing her serious look, Lu Wanxi finally relaxed a little, "I found that as long as you are by my side, I will definitely not be afraid."

"Of course, who am I? I am your sister Lu Wanxi."

When they arrived at the palace gate, Lu Yanhua jumped out of the carriage, then helped Lu Wanxi down, "We're finally here."

Special palace attendants came to greet them, and a middle-aged nanny came forward and said, "I wonder if you two are girls from the Lu family."

"Exactly."

"Princess Anle specially asked this slave to come and pick up the two girls. You two should go with me!"

"Thank you, grandma." Lu Wanxi and Lu Yanhua bowed respectfully.

Lu Wanxi and Lu Yanhua followed the nanny and walked into the palace. When you step into the gate of the palace, you will be shocked by the majesty of the yellow tiles and red walls. Rows of buildings with red walls and golden roofs are neatly arranged, and the glazed tiles emit golden light under the sunlight.

Just when Lu Yanhua wanted to continue admiring it, Lu Wanxi grabbed her sleeve, "Don't look around, people will say you are unruly if you see her."

Lu Yanhua had no choice but to retract her gaze and could only look forward. There were so many rules.

It's a long way from the palace gate to Weiyang Palace. I don't know how long we walked, but Lu Yanhua's legs were sore. "Why haven't we arrived yet?"

Lu Wanxi was also tired a long time ago. This palace is really too big. After walking for so long, she still hasn't reached Weiyang Palace.

Finally arriving outside the Weiyang Palace, Lu Yanhua thought that she could finally take a break.

Stepping into Weiyang Palace, you will be surrounded by pink walls, surrounded by green willows and dotted with rocks. Weiyang Palace is magnificent, graceful and luxurious, with lush gardens. It is worthy of being the palace where the queen lives.

They went to pay homage to the queen first, and when they came to the main hall, Lu Wanxi, Lu Yanhua and other female family members knelt down to worship the queen.

Above the main hall, I saw a person sitting on the phoenix throne. He was dressed in gold and silver silk palace clothes embroidered with phoenixes and phoenixes. He was embroidered with golden phoenixes and auspicious clouds. He wore a phoenix crown on his head and walked with a jade belt tied around his waist. He wore a pair of jade hands. A pair of jade bracelets. A pair of red phoenix eyes, water-like eyes, two curved eyebrows, and a slender figure. He looks about 40 years old. Although his appearance has faded, the charm of the years still remains.

Lu Wanxi, Lu Yanhua and others knelt on the ground, waiting for the Queen to call her back.

A gentle and pleasant voice came, "Everyone, please excuse yourself."

"Thank you, Empress."

"It's just a normal flower viewing banquet. You can enjoy it as you like, please!"

"Thank you madam."

All the female relatives left the main hall and went to the garden to enjoy the flowers.

When Lu Wanxi and Lu Yanhua were about to leave, they were stopped by the queen, "The two daughters of the Fan Yang Lu family are staying here so that I can have a good look at you."

Lu Yanhua and Lu Wanxi's heart trembled. The purpose was just to see them, so why go to all the trouble to hold a flower viewing party? Isn't this pure waste?

Lu Wanxi and Lu Yanhua walked forward slowly, bowed to her and saluted, "My lord, please see the Queen."

"Which of you is the elder sister and who is the younger sister?"

Lu Wanxi said: "Back to the Queen, I am my elder sister."

The queen looked at Lu Wanxi carefully and nodded with satisfaction. "My elder sister is beautiful in the country, and my younger sister is refined and refined. She is worthy of being the daughter taught by the Fan Yang Lu family."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation."

At this time, Princess Anle rushed into the main hall in a hurry, "Queen Mother, are the two girls from the Lu family here?"

Princess Anle ran into the palace and saw Lu Wanxi and Lu Yanhua standing in the palace, "You guys have been here a long time ago. I thought you weren't here?"

The queen looked at these three people. The Lu sisters were so dignified and polite. Then she looked at the daughter she gave birth to and shook her head helplessly. "Anle, do you still understand the rules?"

Princess Anle realized that she was wrong, and quickly bowed to the queen to apologize, "I know my mistake, and I ask my mother to forgive me."

Lu Yanhua looked at Princess Anle, who was wearing a sapphire blue embroidered peony and gold brocade double-breasted palace dress, a mutton-fat jade belt tied around her waist, a lily bun, and a pair of gold begonia beads swaying in the air.

As expected of a princess! Lu Yanhua noticed that the mutton-fat jade pendant around her waist was crystal clear and had no flaws at all. Lu Yanhua saw one at her grandfather's place and wanted to play with it, but her grandfather refused. Later she found out that it was an antique and priceless.

"That's all. If there are outsiders here today, I won't punish you."

"Thank you, Queen Mother. I will take them to enjoy the flowers first, and then come back to see Queen Mother later."

"Go!"

Princess Anle held one by the other, "Let's go, I will take you to enjoy the flowers."

The queen looked at the backs of the three of them. She was as young and beautiful as a flower, but now her appearance was gone and her youth was no longer.

The Queen had two sons and one daughter, and her position was stable. The Holy Emperor treated her with great respect, but his affection for her became weaker and weaker. The queen has long recognized the reality, and there is no shortage of beauties like flowers and jade in the harem.
