The eldest lady is reborn, get out of the way!

"What day is it already?"

"It's the third day..."

"The third day? Why does it feel like a year has passed..."

"It's like a long time since we last met. It's not impossible for Your Highness to feel this way."

Outside the wall of the martial arts training ground, Princess Boyang, who was secretly watching her son practicing martial arts, turned her head and looked coldly at Duke Lu who was also acting suspiciously beside her.

Duke Lu immediately shut up and pointed forward.

Princess Boyang frowned and looked back. There her son was standing in front of her.

...was discovered.

Lu Qingxiao noticed it when Princess Boyang and Duke Lu first came to peek.

It would be difficult for him to pretend not to see such a big phoenix tail crown.

"Mother, Father." Lu Qingxiao intentionally kept some distance because his mother liked quietness.

Princess Boyang smiled awkwardly, trying to put on her motherly dignity: "Wubing, well, your grandmother is old, and she only has you as a grandson, she..."

"Mother." Lu Qingxiao raised his eyes and looked at Princess Boyang: "Grandmother is busy with Lan Ning's appointment and can't take care of me for the time being."

Duke Lu turned his head and smiled secretly.

Princess Boyang froze for a moment, blinked, and quickly said, "What about me? Your mother wants to have a grandson."

Lu Qingxiao sighed: "I'll go and urge Gui Chi to have a baby soon."

Princess Boyang finally couldn't help it. She pointed at Lu Qingxiao's nose, narrowed her eyes, and threatened: "You must settle your marriage this year, otherwise, I will not be able to close my eyes even if I die!"

"Mother is in good health and will live a long life." Lu Qingxiao replied calmly.

Seeing that the eldest princess was about to get angry with Lu Qingxiao, Duke Lu hurried forward to smooth things over.

"Alright, alright, Wubing, stop talking. Your mother is always worried about you."

Winter is approaching and the weather is cold.

Princess Boyang noticed the sweat on Lu Qingxiao's forehead, and suddenly she stopped trying to explain it to him, and waved her hand: "Go take a shower, so you don't catch a cold."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Lu Qingxiao bowed and lowered his eyes to see him off respectfully, and no emotion could be seen on his face.

Duke Lu paused slightly, said nothing, patted Lu Qingxiao on the shoulder, and quickly caught up with the princess.

Lu Qingxiao returned to Cangshan Courtyard and just happened to meet Lu Guichi who came to visit him.

"Sit down for a moment."

Lu Qingxiao and Lu Guichi are brothers and grew up together, so their relationship is closer than that of others.

Hearing Lu Qingxiao's words, Lu Guichi didn't hesitate to ask the servant to get wine, and instructed the small kitchen to make his favorite pot, and specifically asked Duoduo to blanch the mutton.

When Lu Qingxiao changed into casual clothes and came out, he saw Lu Guichi looking contented, as if he was in his own room.

Lu Qingxiao didn't say anything more and started eating as soon as he sat down.

Both of them were born as military generals, and their daily martial arts training was very exhausting. One meal for them was equivalent to a whole day's work for an ordinary man.

After the meal, Lu Qingxiao frowned as he looked at Lu Guichi who was not about to leave.

Lu Guichi smiled instead, leaning leisurely against the railing, looking very romantic: "I have to act like a good person when someone asks me to do something for you."

Lu Qingxiao closed his eyes, stood up and was about to leave.

Lu Guichi quickly grabbed his wrist and said, "Brother."

"One meal is enough for you to get the job done." Lu Qingxiao was not fooled by Lu Guichi and looked at him steadily.

Lu Guichi smiled. He looked almost exactly like General Lu. The only difference was that Lu Guichi was younger and more immature.

"That's not how it works." Lu Guichi pulled the man to sit down, ready to go for a walk: "My parents have repeatedly told me to find out why you don't want to get married."

Lu Qingxiao didn't sit down, but stood opposite Lu Guichi. The oppressive feeling of his tall figure made Lu Guichi stand up as well.

Lu Guichi suddenly smiled and said, "Brother, it's okay for you to do this to me, but if you do this to a little girl, I won't be able to stand you."

Lu Qingxiao tilted his head to look at him.

Seeing Lu Qingxiao looking at him, Lu Guichi's eyebrows twitched. Did he guess it by accident?

"Is there really such a person?!" Lu Guichi felt that he had hit the nail on the head.

Lu Qingxiao denied: "No."

Lu Guichi laughed loudly, leaned against the pillar, and looked Lu Qingxiao up and down: "No, brother."

Lu Qingxiao glanced at him.

Lu Guichi smiled cunningly: "If there really is no such person, Big Brother would usually scold me for talking nonsense instead of rushing to explain."

Without waiting for Lu Qingxiao to speak, Lu Guichi said, "If you want to accuse me of talking nonsense now, then there must be someone like that!"

After being guessed correctly by his brother twice in a row, Lu Qingxiao's lips curled up slightly: "Okay, you are good."

Lu Guichi was shaking with laughter, but Lu Qingxiao let him laugh and remained motionless.

It was rare for Lu Guichi to see his cold and aloof elder brother like this. Perhaps something good was really about to happen.

"I would like to meet this girl if I have a chance." Lu Guichi said with a smile, "In fact, I have always been curious about what kind of girl Big Brother would be attracted to."

Lu Qingxiao pinched his nose helplessly, "No, I'm not moved."

Lu Guichi looked unconvinced, "That's not what you said just now."

Lu Qingxiao's eyebrows were twitching wildly. He knew that no matter what he said, Lu Guichi would not believe it.

Seeing Lu Qingxiao's denial, Lu Guichi snorted and laughed, "Father told me that you wanted to help me choose a son-in-law."

Lu Qingxiao asked: "Why not?"

Lu Guichi looked at Lu Qingxiao strangely: "Then have you never thought about yourself?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Qingxiao's gaze pointed towards Lu Guichi like a sharp sword.

Lu Guichi was not afraid at all and continued, "I understand that you think Guiji is not good enough."

"Xie Yi can't do it, I can understand that."

"Why can't Prince Fu's second son do the same? He is good at both civil and military affairs. Although he is not outstanding, he has both."

"You are more strict than their parents in choosing a son-in-law for them."

"Would you feel relieved if you took care of her yourself?"

Lu Guichi patiently persuaded him: "Look, you are the junior general of the Tiger Guard Battalion, and you also have the title of a prince. In terms of civil and military strategy, if you say you are second, no one dares to claim to be first."

"Your mother is the eldest princess, and your father is the duke. With such a distinguished family background, who else could be better than you?"

"Besides, my aunt and uncle are looking forward to your marriage and will treat your new bride like a jewel. The things you worry about, such as not being able to take good care of her, will never happen."

“Isn’t this the best of both worlds?”

Lu Qingxiao shook his head decisively: "I'm not suitable."

Lu Guichi pressed on: "What's wrong with that?"

Lu Qingxiao stopped talking.

Seeing this, Lu Guichi realized that this was the reason why his elder brother didn't want to get married.

His eyes turned and his gaze fell on Lu Qingxiao uncertainly.

After a long while, he deliberately lowered his voice and asked cautiously, "Could it be... that Big Brother feels that I can't give her a happy life?"

Lu Qingxiao was immersed in his own thoughts. When he heard Lu Guichi's careful question, he actually nodded indifferently.

"Ah."

Ok?

Um? ?

Lu Guichi was shocked. His elder brother was actually incapable? !
