Lu'e knew that the princess and the prince came here today specifically to support her.

In fact, I am just a servant and an orphan without parents. Even if I die, it doesn't matter. The princess doesn't need to treat me like this.

She pursed her lips. Is this what family feels like?

There was an inexplicable sour feeling in her nose, and Lu'e's vision towards the princess became a little blurry.

Old Madam Lu was full of suspicion: Isn't it because the prince values ​​his grandson that he intends to arrange the marriage to win over the Lu family?

Why is the princess so blind that she seems to be protecting a maid? Or is she deliberately hitting her?

Cang Min immediately got off his seat, lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, "My Lord and Princess, please understand that it is a blessing for me to marry Lu'e. Even if it is not a marriage granted by God, I still have to accept the marriage proposal, ask for the name, accept the good news, accept the betrothal gift, ask for the date, and personally welcome the bride. The three letters and six ceremonies will not be missing."

The attitude is disappointing.

There was approval in Shen Yangui's eyes. Lu'e was not wrong about him.

"Lu'e is my wife. I have discussed this with my father and mother before coming here. After Lu'e enters the mansion, she will immediately take charge of the household affairs."

This means handing over the power of the Lu Mansion to Lu'e.

you can!

This guy is good!

But Shen Yangui said: "I'm afraid not."

This sentence left everyone at the table confused. Cang Min was a little frightened, fearing that his grandmother's words had just offended him.

"I am a humble servant and I am stupid. Please explain clearly, Princess."

Huarong served tea, and Mo Chengying handed it to Shen Yangui.

When Old Madam Lu saw this, she was greatly shocked: The prince served tea to the princess?

It turned out that it was the prince who served tea to the princess!

Is the princess still accepting this with a clear conscience?

If they had just gotten married two years ago, Shen Yangui would still be a little wary, and would have been polite even if it was just for show. But now she was used to it and took it as a matter of course. She pinched the tea lid with her slender fingers, blew lightly on the water with her red lips, and took a sip leisurely.

Cang Min was a little anxious, "Princess, Prince, in this life, Cang Min will only have Lu'e and will never marry anyone else! If you break this oath, you will be pierced by thousands of arrows and die a miserable death!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Lu didn't even care about the rules, "You kid, on such a happy day, what nonsense are you talking about? Aren't you afraid of breaking taboos?"

Shen Yangui put down the teacup and said, "I have discussed with the prince and intend to promote Lu'e to be a royal concubine."

There are six bureaus in the inner palace, headed by Shanggong, and the director of Shanggong bureau is the highest-ranking female official in the inner court.

A new emperor appoints new ministers. Shen Yangui wants to take over the power of the inner palace. No matter in terms of ability or loyalty, Lu'e is the most suitable one.

"Shang Gong?"

Madam Lu was surprised. "I am ashamed. I heard that the palace ladies need to remain chaste for life and are not allowed to get married..."

"How can we take rumors seriously?"

The gentler the tone of a superior, the more oppressive it is.

Madam Lu did not dare to get angry, let alone refute the princess. She said carefully: "Since ancient times, women have been following the three obediences and four virtues. Lu'e married into the Lu family. Shouldn't she put her husband's family first? If she wants to be a female official, wouldn't that be..."

Doesn’t that mean I can’t take care of my husband and children, and serve my elders?

If she was a female official, what qualifications would I have to discipline her?

What's more, it is unprecedented for a woman to seek a job outside the home. If this gets out, wouldn't the Lu family be laughed at?

"Why is it that Mrs. Lu is not happy that the Lu'e couple are working for Da Xia together?"

Old Madam Lu had a strong personality, and Shen Yangui saw that Mother Lu could not say a few words in front of her.

Lu'e is calm and smart in her work, but she has a bad background and lacks the confidence to be a master. Without the prince and princess behind her, she will only suffer and be bullied by Madam Lu in the inner house in the future.

Moreover, it is a pity that the Lu family's small fortune is going to trap the talents cultivated by the prince.

Shen Yangui was reluctant to let go. She smiled and said, "Or does Old Madam Lu think that the Lu family is superior to Daxia?"

These words were too heavy. Not only Mrs. Lu couldn't bear it, but also Mr. and Mrs. Lu couldn't bear it.

All members of the Lu family got up from their seats and knelt down.

"Wei Chen is terrified."

"My wife dare not."

Shen Yangui had told Lu'e in advance about appointing her as a female official, and he did not ask her whether she was willing or not, but asked her -

Which one does she want as a dowry, the Shanggong Bureau Palace Director or the Imperial Concubine?

Lu'e knew very well that with such a large family like the Lu family, her greatest reliance was not Cangmin, but the princess.

Moreover, the princess also said that only when she truly established herself would the Lu family not dare to neglect her.

Otherwise, even a wise person will suffer the consequences.

There is no better makeup artist in the world than Shang Gong Ju Gong Zheng.

Since she could remember, Lu'e had no idea of ​​her parents' clan. Her name was given by the prince. Now that she had acknowledged Jiang Peirong as her godmother, she took the surname Jiang.

Jiang Shang Gong.

Although the name Madam Lu sounds nice, Lu'e thinks that Lady Jiang is more impressive.

With the prince and princess present, Madam Lu didn't dare to act rashly.

The wedding date of the Jiang and Lu families was set, and the Lu family members stood up to say goodbye.

Cang Min walked into the yard and couldn't help but look back, and was seen by Qing Shuang.

"Before the wedding ceremony, the newlyweds will live apart. Look, our Lord Lu is reluctant to let them go." Qingshuang joked.

"Why would I be reluctant?" Lu'e blushed, "You're just a bad-mouthed person."

"It's a good thing that you're reluctant to let her go." Jiang Peirong said cheerfully, "With Lu'e getting married, shouldn't it be time to put Qingshuang's marriage on the agenda as well?"

"I am not in a hurry."

There were no outsiders in the palace. Qingshuang hugged Shen Yangui's arm and said, "I want to stay with the princess for another two years."

"Even after you get married, you have to stay with the princess." Lu'e took the opportunity to tease her, "Could it be that after you marry Poshan, you will never see the princess again?"

"That's different. Once we get married, we'll have to give birth to a baby, and we won't be able to see the princess for a long time."

"Oh my, look at this, look at this." Jiang Peirong pretended to be disgusted and said, "Our Qingshuang is shameless."

Qingshuang shook her head, not caring at all.

Poshan, who was guarding outside, looked at Cangmin meaningfully and took two steps forward.

"Congratulations, Lord Lu."

"Congratulations." Cang Min clasped his fists, and the two walked out side by side. He whispered, "When you came, did you see who was standing outside?"

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to your wife in the Princess's Mansion."

"No kidding." Cang Min sighed, "I just glanced outside from inside the house, and I felt like I had seen that figure somewhere before, but I couldn't remember where it was."

"Got it." He would pay more attention.

Poshan tapped Cangmin's chest with the back of his hand, "The prince and princess have granted you a year's leave, so just be at ease being your groom, I'll take care of everything."

After seeing Cang Min off, he turned around and glanced in the direction of the backyard. He said a few words to the guard at the gate, went to the backyard, and when there was no one around, he flew onto the roof.

Shen Yangui and Mo Chengying did not plan to return to the palace today. After Xiao Yuanyuan came back from school, the family had dinner at the Princess's Mansion.

Among them is naturally Jiang Congrong.

He is very reserved.

On the way back from Lingzhou before, they had eaten at the same table. He was calm at that time. But tonight, they were sitting at the same table, two by two, next to Jiang Peirong, but he was more reserved than ever before.

Shen Yangui stood up and toasted him with a glass of wine. He clearly felt that the sharpness in his eyes had decreased a bit.

After the meal, he returned to the palace.

Poshan reported Cangmin's suspicions and his own findings.

"I dare to guess that the Second Master is from Qifeng Village."

It just verified Shen Yangui's guess, so there's nothing surprising about it.

"The shop I asked you to keep an eye on." Jiang Congrong tried to contact the shop that Lu An used yesterday. "Are there any results?"
