The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

Lu Xiuyuan smiled and shook his head, tapped her forehead lovingly, and urged, "Okay, it's already noon, get up quickly.

"Today is the Lantern Festival. There will be a lantern festival in the capital tonight. It will be very lively. I will take you to have fun."

Xia Younan's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she quickly pulled the dress from the bedside and put it on, nodding her head like a chicken pecking at rice, "Okay, okay, this is my first time attending the Lantern Festival, and I must broaden my horizons tonight."

Today seemed to be an especially long day. Xia Younan waited and waited, until finally the setting sun disappeared in the west.

The sky was dark, and Lu Xiuyuan and his family sat down in the living room, laughing, scolding, chatting, and waiting for tonight's dinner - the rice dumplings that symbolize reunion.

"Brother Wang!"

Tangyuan hasn't arrived yet, but Lu Yanluo has arrived first.

"Brother Wang, Second Cousin, Xiao Chanen, good evening!"

The little princess ran and shouted, wearing a blue dress and smiling like a flower, just like a fairy who was not of this world.

"Good evening Princess," Zenn waved back at her.

Xia Younan felt happy just by looking at her, and greeted her with a smile, "Yanluo is here? Come here quickly, have you had dinner?"

"Not yet." Lu Yanluo replied, running to sit next to Xia Younan, "I was so busy playing with my second cousin that I forgot to eat."

"Hey, little princess, are you sure you're here to see me?" Xia Younan joked with a wicked smile, successfully making the little girl blush.

Knowing that she was shy, Xia Younan stopped teasing her and ordered the servant beside him, "Get two more pairs of bowls and chopsticks, and call Su Yu as well."

Her little thoughts were exposed, and Lu Yanluo's face turned red with shame. She raised her jade hands to cover her face, leaving only her two watery eyes exposed.

Seeing her shy and timid look, Xia Younan's heart melted, and he sighed sincerely: "Tsk tsk, how could Su Yu be so ungrateful to such a beautiful and lovely lady?"

"Oh, second cousin, stop talking nonsense~" Lu Yanluo freed up one hand and patted her.

"Well, they haven't even been together yet, but they're already protecting each other and won't let me talk about it."

"Second cousin, if you say that again, I will ignore you." Lu Yanluo turned her head away pretending to be angry, her neck turning red.

Xia Younan laughed so hard that her body shook with laughter, and compromised lovingly, "Okay~ If you don't want to talk about it, then let's talk about something else. Yanluo, you are leaving the palace now, are you here for the Lantern Festival tonight?"

Lu Yanluo nodded her head repeatedly, her eyes sparkling as she said, "Second cousin, besides the Chinese New Year in Beijing, the Lantern Festival is the most lively and fun, so of course I can't miss this opportunity.

"Don't even mention me. Even my brother came out tonight."

"Oh? The emperor is here too?" Xia Younan looked outside in surprise.

Lu Yanluo waved her hands and explained, "He and his favorite concubine went directly to the street to play, and did not come here."

"The favorite concubine, does it refer to Ye Qiandai who entered the palace not long ago?" Xia Younan asked.

Lu Yanluo nodded, "Yes, my brother likes her very much!

"On the second day after she entered the palace, she was promoted to Imperial Consort and exempted from all the etiquette she was supposed to follow. I would go to her palace every night, eat with her, go to the garden with her, and even have arguments with my mother because of her many times."

Xia Younan was secretly shocked when he heard this, and sighed that Lu Shian had fallen in love and doted on the princess so much.

Is he...completely treating the princess as a substitute for Ye Shiqing?

But she is the princess of the enemy country. Lu Xiuyuan said that Zhu Jingguo has bad intentions.

Lu Xiuyuan also frowned after listening to her. Although he didn't want to get involved in Lu Shian's private affairs, this country belonged to his Lu family after all.

If Lu Shian ruined the country because of the beauty trap, this was not what he wanted to see.

Lu Yanluo was simple-minded and didn't think as much as they did. She said to herself, "It's a good thing that my brother has a new relationship. At least he is not as callous and self-degrading as before. Now I can see a smile on his face.

"And the Imperial Concubine is also very nice, she speaks softly and is so gentle. Whenever she looks at my brother, her eyes seem to glow, as if they have been in love for many years."

"Really?" Xia Younan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she said that. Regardless of anything else, this should be a good thing for Lu Shian.

While they were talking, the servants had already added dishes and chopsticks, and Su Yu was called over.

Su Yu saw Lu Yanluo from afar, his eyes changed, and he turned and left.

"Su Yu!" Xia Younan hurriedly called him, "Where are you going? We called you to eat, why did you leave?"

Su Yu stopped but did not turn around, and replied coldly: "Thank you for your kindness, my lord and princess. I am a servant and it is inconvenient for me to sit at the same table with the master."

"Since you are a servant, you must listen to your master. I asked you to come and have dinner with us." Xia Younan knew what he was thinking and simply threw out some harsh words.

Chan En on the side blinked and waved at Su Yu, "Brother Su, come here, you see Bei Jin and I are here, and Senior Sister doesn't treat us as servants."

Su Yu did not answer, but hesitated with a frown on his face.

How could Lu Yanluo not know what he meant? Her eyes turned red with grievance, and she stood up pitifully and said, "I know you don't want to sit at the same table with me, but can't I just not eat?

"I'll stand aside and wait for you to finish eating."

Su Yu felt a sharp pain in his heart. His heartache for her was ultimately no match for his reason. He turned and walked into the hall, choosing a seat a little further away from Lu Yanluo to sit down.

Xia Younan shook his head, pulled Lu Yanluo who was still feeling aggrieved beside him, and advised: "Okay Yanluo, sit down. He is just a blockhead. Don't bother with him."

Lu Yanluo curled her lips and sat back on the stool in a depressed mood.

"The dumplings are here——"

A joyful shout was heard, and Su Yu was startled and quickly stood up and walked towards the owner of the voice.

The person who came was an old man in his fifties, dressed in a brown robe, with a slightly bent body, and the black hair on his temples was mixed with strands of silver frost.

His thin and sallow face was covered with wrinkles, and his hands, with exposed veins, were covered with hard calluses.

His eyes were bright and sparkling, flashing with kindness and gentleness.

This is the palace's chief steward, who has lived in the palace for more than ten years and is an elder whom even Lu Xiuyuan respects and loves.

Su Yu trotted over to him, hurriedly took the large bowl of glutinous rice balls from his hand, frowned and said in reproach: "Uncle Liu, why are you serving the glutinous rice balls yourself? Where are the servants? Where did they go?"

Uncle Liu smiled and waved his hands, saying, "They are all busy too. I took the initiative to ask to send you the dumplings. Don't blame them."

"You really are! Don't you know your legs are not good? What if you fall?"

Su Yu complained repeatedly, took the glutinous rice balls and quickly placed them in the middle of the long table, then turned back to help him, "Uncle Liu, I'll help you sit down, and we'll eat together."

"No, no, no." Liu Bo shook his head repeatedly, "You are the master and I am the servant. How can the master and servant sit at the same table?"
