After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

After the birthday banquet, early the next morning, someone came from Changchun Palace and called Fu Guiyun over.

Lu Chen, Ye Zhilan and his wife had already been waiting in the dining room with Lu Linchu.

After the family of four had breakfast and were drinking tea, Ye Zhilan spoke first.

"Yun'er, Miss Cui is from a famous family after all. Now that Dali has just been conquered, there are still remnants of evil who are ready to make a move. Your father and the prince want to worship at the ancestral temple, formally adopt Ying'er as their adopted daughter, and then submit a petition to His Majesty to request a title for Ying'er. Do you think this is appropriate?"

Fu Guiyun glanced at Lu Chen and Lu Linchu cautiously, and smiled faintly: "Is father sure about this matter?"

Lu Chen frowned and sighed sadly.

"I had already submitted a petition after the prince returned to the city, reporting the situation in Dali, but now a month has passed and there has been no movement in the court."

Fu Guiyun already had suspicions in his heart: "I think there is a dispute in the palace about this. If my father reports it again at this time, it may arouse the suspicion of His Majesty, who may think that my father is deliberately trying to win over the hearts of the people of Dali."

Just at this moment, Lu Linfeng and Lu Linzhi were both led in.

After ordering Madam Kong to serve tea, Ye Zhilan told the two brothers the whole matter again and asked for their opinions.

"My sister-in-law's doubts are not without reason."

Lu Linfeng said: "Emperor Hui and the short-sighted people around him may think that our Lu family is going to harm him again."

After thinking for a while, he looked straight at Lu Linchu: "In my humble opinion, it would be better for the prince to take her into his room and break the rules to establish a second concubine."

"Brother, what you said is really unreasonable."

Lu Linchu's face immediately darkened: "How can you take your own sister into your room?"

Previously, I wanted to make Huai Xi my second concubine, but this person obstructed me in every way. Now he pretends to be kind-hearted.

"Brother, this joke is too much."

Lu Linzhi deliberately coughed lightly and said calmly: "The emperor has always been fond of checks and balances. The prince and the prince have successively conquered two countries. I am afraid that he is happy on the surface, but he is very afraid in his heart. If Miss Cui cannot be properly placed, it will indeed be a very difficult matter."

"Although Miss Cui is an orphan, she is now attracting the attention of all the major families. How to settle her will determine people's wishes and whether they are willing to submit to her."

"How could I not know?"

Lu Linfeng frowned, "But Emperor Hui doesn't want my uncle to conquer the other countries, but he's also afraid that the other countries will become too powerful. After all, my uncle is a king of a different surname. If those two good-for-nothings, King Dongyi and King Jiurong, accomplish this feat, he would be eager to bring Miss Cui into the palace right away."

"I have an idea."

Lu Linchu smiled sinisterly, "Big brother is the eldest son of the eldest house. I heard from Guiyun that they are arranging a marriage for you recently. Why don't you marry Ying'er? This will not only win the hearts of the Dali nobles, but also give the Cui family some dignity. Emperor Hui's son is suspicious of our Lu family anyway, so we are not afraid of adding another thing."

"My Lord, please don't tease me about this."

Lu Linfeng glanced at Fu Guiyun from the corner of his eyes, with an unhappy look on his face: "How dare I marry the woman of Emperor Hui's son?"

"Nonsense."

Hearing the two brothers calling Emperor Hui "little boy" over and over again, Lu Chen's heart sank: "You brothers are becoming more and more presumptuous. Do you think you are too high or too deep after making some achievements?"

Hearing this, the two of them immediately became much more serious.

Ye Zhilan had been feeling weaker and weaker recently, and this incident made him even more upset. He couldn't help but started coughing violently, and when he covered his mouth with a handkerchief, some blood came out.

She took a look, immediately wiped off the blood without saying a word, and held the handkerchief tightly in her hand.

"Is my mother okay?" Fu Guiyun sensed something was wrong and asked quickly.

Lu Linzhi watched from the side and felt nervous, but he didn't dare to ask anything.

"No problem, no problem."

Ye Zhilan smiled and said, "Yun'er, you accompany your father and the prince to discuss a solution. If Miss Cui needs comforting, you will have to go there in person on behalf of your mother."

"Mother, don't worry about this matter. Your daughter-in-law will definitely help father and the prince to handle this matter."

Fu Guiyun hurriedly stood up and prepared to help her go inside to rest.

Ye Zhilan stopped her and called Madam Jiang over: "Maybe you stayed up too late last night, so you got up early today. Mother, just go back and rest for a while."

Without letting her daughter-in-law follow her in, she supported Nanny Jiang and went into the bedroom by herself.

Fu Guiyun stood in front of the courtyard and could hear intermittent coughing coming from the house from time to time.

Now that winter is approaching and the weather is getting colder, she guessed that her mother-in-law's illness might get worse.

Listening to the brothers quarreling, except for Lu Linzhi, the other two didn't say much serious, so she had to go back and speak quickly.

"If Emperor Hui is really short-sighted, then the prince's suggestion is not a safe strategy."

However, she vaguely felt that Cui Ying's mind was not simple.

Based on the gift she gave yesterday, the jade and pearl hairpin was clearly a top-quality piece of jewelry, but she still felt it was not decent enough, so she hid it tightly in a box, wrapped in three layers of wrapping inside and outside, not as good as the other concubines in the mansion who were so open about it.

From this, it can be seen that even if the position of the Crown Prince's Consort was given to her, she might not be satisfied. Her ambition is no less than Han Nian's.

Moreover, considering Cui Ying's current situation, even if she wanted to take a break, people around her would advise her to prioritize the prosperity of her family and work hard to climb higher.

Fu Guiyun, a woman who came from a family of scholars and officials, could empathize the most, just like she had to enter the Liyang Palace for the sake of her entire family.

Thinking of this, she first tried to tell Lu Linfeng, "The marriage between Lu Changshi and the Ye family was decided by my mother. I'm afraid that the marriage with the Cui family can only fall on my brother. If my brother doesn't want to, I can only find some way to slowly make it happen."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Linfeng couldn't wait to ask: "What method, please tell me quickly, sister-in-law."

Fu Guiyun did not answer him directly, but smiled and gestured to Lu Chen: "Why not let my daughter-in-law ask Miss Cui first. If she is determined to enter the palace, my brother may have to suffer some grievances."

"It doesn't matter."

Lu Linfeng's eyes were firm: "For the Lu family and the palace, it doesn't matter if I suffer some grievances."

Fu Guiyun finally felt relieved and stood up to say goodbye: "Father, you, my brother, and the prince should patiently wait for news about your daughter-in-law."

"it is good."

Lu Chen nodded after thinking about it, and then instructed Lu Linzhi: "Linzhi, you also go with Yun'er to take a look. If Lanyue Tower needs anything, you can ask the Changshi Mansion to help."

"Yes."

Lu Linzhi followed Fu Guiyun out of Changchun Palace.

He was worried all the way.

The eldest brother easily turned down the Cui family's marriage proposal, but he and Ye Qiong...

He was thinking silently, and Fu Guiyun thought of his mother-in-law's illness, so he asked him: "I heard that Lu Changshi has been trying to treat your mother's illness. Today..."

"That sword strike injured my lungs. Although I managed to save my life, I can only recover slowly now."

Suppressing his inner sadness, Lu Linzhi spoke in a calm tone, not wanting her to worry about this matter anymore.

"The princess does not need to worry too much. The princess has been kind to others all her life and will be rewarded."

"I feel so too."

Smiling at him, Fu Guiyun echoed, "I'm afraid even the King of Hell wouldn't be willing to take someone as good-tempered as my mother."

Fu Guiyun never wanted to doubt what he said, as if he was an old friend he had known for many years, and he was full of trust in him.
