Chapter 237: Meeting Yan Xuanye Again at the Mid-Autumn Banquet
The night before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lu Huan took Su Qingci back to the general's mansion and stayed there for one night, because they had to attend a banquet with Lu Guang and Gao Jiarong the next day and it was not convenient to separate them.
So he had to return to the general's mansion one day earlier and rest for a day.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, all officials have a day off.
Only royal relatives, some close to the royal family, or officials favored by the emperor could enter the palace to attend the banquet.
That day, Su Qingci sat in front of the mirror and let Xiaohe help her with her makeup.
Lu Huan was busy adjusting his clothes and didn't ask anyone to serve him.
Seeing Xiao He was about to put on the gold-inlaid jade Phoenix Wings hairpin for Su Qingci, Lu Huan specifically reminded her, "Don't dress too dazzlingly today."
Xiao He paused, then listened to Lu Huan continue, "We are going to the palace to attend the banquet with the princess next door."
"She is a petty person. She will definitely dress up to enter the palace today. When she sees you later, she will see that you are not only younger and more beautiful than her, but also more beautiful than her when you dress up."
"Do you think she will hate you?"
After hearing this, Su Qingci said to Xiao He, "Xiao He, just dress normally. No need to be too fancy."
"Yes."
It didn't take long for Xiao He to finish putting on makeup for Su Qingci.
She stood up and said, "Let's go."
Lu Huan stretched out his hand towards her. Su Qingci smiled gently, put her left hand in his palm, and let him lead her out.
At the gate of the general's mansion, I saw Lu Guang and Gao Jiarong who were getting ready to set off.
Su Qingci saluted to Lu Guang and Gao Jiarong respectively, "Father."
"your Highness."
Although Gao Jiarong is Lu Huan's stepmother, Lu Huan has never respected her and didn't even say hello when they met.
Therefore, in order to save Lu Huan's face and to show respect to Gao Jiarong, the emperor's sister, she called her "Her Royal Highness the Princess".
Didn't call her mother.
After all, according to traditional customs, a princess usually has her own independent mansion after marriage, and her husband is also called "Prince Consort". The in-laws of the princess will often only respectfully call her "Your Highness" and will not regard her as an ordinary daughter-in-law.
Therefore, Su Qingci's address to Gao Jiarong not only took Lu Huan's face into consideration, but also expressed respect for Gao Jiarong. It can be said that this was a very decent and appropriate approach.
Lu Guang responded indifferently, as if he was quite satisfied with her, and then looked at Lu Huan, "You didn't even say hello after meeting?"
Lu Huan: "We meet in the court every day. It's not like father just saw me today."
After saying that, without even looking at Lu Guang's sullen expression, he took Su Qingci's hand and helped her onto the carriage behind.
After getting on the carriage, Su Qingci couldn't help but ask, "Why did you do this to your father?"
Lu Huan still held her hand gently, but she couldn't see his expression. From his voice, she could feel a chill in his words. "I have my reasons for treating him like this."
"Qingci."
"It's mutual between people. If he treats me well, I will treat him well."
Su Qingci did not delve further. After all, everyone has their own difficulties and things they are unwilling to reveal.
She leaned her head on Lu Huan's shoulder. "It's just like, if you treat me well, I will treat you well too."
"That's the point, isn't it?"
Lu Huan held her hand tightly, feeling a warm current flowing through his heart, "That's right."
……
About half an hour later, the carriage slowly drove into the imperial city.
Unlike other ministers who had to stop and walk into the palace when they arrived at the city gate, their carriages were able to drive straight into the palace.
The reason why he was able to enjoy such an honor was simply because the emperor's younger sister, Princess Nanjia, was sitting in the Lu family's carriage.
The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet has not officially begun yet, but many guests have already entered the banquet venue in an endless stream.
Since it was not a court meeting, everyone was in casual clothes.
While they were talking, many people came over to chat with Gao Jiarong and Lu Guang.
Lu Huan always hated these hypocritical and perfunctory social occasions, so he took Su Qingci's hand and found a seat for the two of them to sit down.
As soon as the two sat down, they heard a burst of flattering noises coming from the crowd. They looked and found that the person who came was Yan Xuanye.
Why is he here?
Su Qingci really wanted to ask, but didn't dare to.
As long as she opened her mouth, Lu Huan would know that she had met Yan Xuanye in private. Combined with her abnormal behavior in the past few days, with Lu Huan's intelligence, he would soon know the reason.
Many officials came forward to greet Yan Xuanye, but Yan Xuanye just exchanged a few words of greeting. Then he walked straight towards Lu Huan and Su Qingci...
Yan Xuanye smiled and said, "General Lu, long time no see."
Yan Xuanye walked up to them and greeted Lu Huan and Su Qingci with a smile. His smile seemed friendly, but it made people feel an invisible pressure.
Lu Huan said calmly, "Your Highness Prince Yan, what a coincidence?"
"You're here too?"
"Yes, I never thought that your emperor would invite me to this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."
"I thought it was quite interesting, so I came here."
Yan Xuanye's eyes swept across Lu Huan, and then stopped at Su Qingci. He pretended that he didn't know Su Qingci, and asked with a smile: "Who is this?"
Lu Huan looked at him coldly, not knowing what he was pretending to be.
Although he knew that he had a crush on Su Qingci, Lu Huan had to introduce her to him, "This is my wife, last name is Su."
"It's Madam Lu." Yan Xuanye's smile widened. "I've heard that Madam Lu is very talented and beautiful. Seeing her today, I can see that she is indeed as famous as her reputation says."
Su Qingci turned her head away in disgust, not wanting to even look at him.
Why are you pretending? After doing such a thing to her that day, you still dare to appear in front of her today and greet her in a fake manner.
Shameless, dog-skin plaster, shameless!
Seeing that Su Qingci didn't say anything and seemed to hate Yan Xuanye, Lu Huan couldn't help feeling a little strange.
"Your Highness Prince Yan, thank you for your compliment." Lu Huan responded modestly.
Yan Xuanye's gaze fell straight on Su Qingci. Seeing that she had no intention of paying attention to him at all, his eyes revealed an indescribable complex emotion.
Lu Huan noticed Yan Xuanye's gaze and couldn't help feeling dissatisfied.
He held Su Qingci's hand tighter, as if declaring his sovereignty to Yan Xuanye.
"If you have nothing to do, Your Highness Prince Yan, you can go sit over there." Lu Huan replied indifferently, with a hint of coldness in his tone.
Yan Xuanye looked at his seat and found that it was arranged on the other side, opposite their seats.
"I prefer the seat next to Madam Lu."
He turned to look at the eunuch who was leading the way for him, "I wonder if I could tell the emperor of your country that I want to sit in this seat."
The eunuch lowered his head, obviously a little embarrassed, "I can't make the decision on this matter."
"The seats have been arranged in advance. These are double seats for married couples."
"Your Highness, please don't embarrass me..."
Yan Xuanye looked down at Su Qingci, who had shrunk like a quail. Sensing her resistance to him, he suddenly laughed coldly.
"Forget it, I'd better sit over there."
