The Lu family's family banquets were never divided by gender. Unless everyone in the family was present, the banquets would be divided into tables. Today, a large table was naturally sitting together, which was both lively and warm.
Although not everyone felt warm, this did not affect Old Madam Lu's mood.
However, this did not affect Old Madam Lu's mood. The matter of the imperial edict was temporarily put aside. Seeing that her favorite grandchildren had returned, she was naturally in a good mood. She even casually drank two cups of wine. If Lu Lingzhi had not stopped her, she would have had another cup.
When the moon was high in the sky, the family banquet finally ended. Ye Zhen and Pei Shi served Old Madam Lu to sleep before leaving the upper room.
Lu Shiming waited outside for Pei Shi. The couple left together. Ye Zhen looked at their backs and couldn't help laughing. She returned to her courtyard with Yu Ping.
"Master Hou?" As soon as she reached the gate of the courtyard, Yu Ping looked at the figure standing under the big tree in surprise. She looked back at Ye Zhen. "Princess, Master Hou is there."
Ye Zhen's eyes darkened slightly. Why is Lu Lingzhi here?
Lu Lingzhi came out of the darkness and looked at her with a smile. "Yao Yao, big brother has something to say to you."
"Big brother, it's getting late. Let's talk about it tomorrow." Ye Zhen said faintly. She didn't think she could have anything to say to Lu Lingzhi. Moreover, she didn't know why, but she always felt that he was different this time.
"Just a few words, Yu Ping, go back first." Lu Lingzhi looked at Yu Ping coldly.
Yu Ping didn't move but looked at Ye Zhen.
"Big brother, what do you want to say?" Ye Zhen didn't let Yu Ping leave but smiled faintly.
Lu Lingzhi walked slowly to Ye Zhen's side, lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "For example, your life experience."
Ye Zhen's face changed and her eyes looked at him coldly.
"Let's talk somewhere else." Lu Lingzhi chuckled, suddenly reached out and wrapped his arm around Ye Zhen's slender waist, took her up and jumped onto the eaves.
"Princess!" Yu Ping exclaimed. What does Master Hou mean?
"Go back first …" Ye Zhen only had time to tell Yu Ping this sentence.
Yu Ping paced around anxiously. She was afraid that Master Hou would hurt the Princess, so she turned around to inform Third Elder Lu. Unexpectedly, she had only taken a few steps when a black shadow stopped her. "Didn't you hear what your Princess said just now? You can go back first. The Marquis won't hurt the Princess. "
Who was this person? Yu Ping was startled. They had appeared so quietly. Was it someone from the Marquis of Tranquil Sun?
"Lady Jade Bottle, please go back first. It's best not to tell anyone about what happened tonight," Leng Mei said as she stared coldly at Jade Bottle.
Yu Ping took a deep breath, lowered her head, and turned to leave. She decided to wait for the princess to return first.
When she returned to the courtyard, Rong Gugu saw that she was alone, so she asked where the Princess had gone.
"The princess is still in the upper room. She asked me to come back first." Yu Ping did not dare to let people know that Ye Zhen was taken away by Lu Lingzhi, for fear that it would bring a bad reputation to the princess.
Aunt Rong nodded and went into the room indifferently.
Ye Zhen was taken by Lu Lingzhi to the small forest behind the Lu family's mansion. This was originally the open space left for the mine to be built. On weekdays, there was no trace of people. It was dark everywhere, only the moonlight in the sky sprinkled a layer of gauze-like light.
Lu Lingzhi gently put Ye Zhen on the ground, but his arms were still around her waist. When he bowed his head, he could smell her fragrance. Different from the rouge fragrance of other women, her fragrance carried the sweetness of fruits, making people feel relaxed and happy. His heart beat faster and he couldn't help but kiss her hair. "Yao Yao, I've been looking for you for a long time. You're finally back."
"Lu Lingzhi, let go!" Ye Zhen felt disgusted and struggled to break free from his arms. She looked at him coldly. "What do you want to say? Say it now."
"Yao Yao, you are not Third Uncle's biological daughter, are you?" Lu Lingzhi chuckled softly, looking at her angry little face dotingly. Looking at her now, his heart was moved to see her happy, angry, coquettish pout.
Ye Zhen sneered, "Who is gossiping in front of you? Do you believe this?"
"I went to ask Third Uncle." Lu Lingzhi took a step closer to Ye Zhen. "Yao Yao, do you know your life?"
Lu Shiming actually told Lu Lingzhi about her life? Ye Zhen looked at the person in front of her coldly. He was the same as when she first met him. His smile was gentle and sincere, like a harmless person, making people want to share the secrets in their hearts with him. Unfortunately, she was not Lu Yaoyao, she was Ye Zhen. "It has nothing to do with you. If you just want to tell me this today, then I have nothing to say to you. If you think you can threaten me with this matter, then please do as you please. You can talk to whoever you want."
With that, Ye Zhen lifted her foot to leave.
Lu Lingzhi grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms. "Yao Yao, you can't marry the emperor."
Ye Zhen felt as disgusted as swallowing hundreds of flies when he touched her. She shook off his hand vigorously. "What does it have to do with you who I marry? Who are you to me?"
"Do you hate me that much?" Lu Lingzhi asked, amused. "Yao Yao, I don't want to threaten you. I just want you to know that even if you are not Third Uncle's biological daughter, your status in the Lu family will not change."
She really cherished her status in the Lu family! "Is that all? Thank you, I see. "
"I mean it when I say that you can't marry the emperor. Yao Yao, I don't want to see you in the future … being wronged in the palace." Lu Lingzhi didn't touch her again. He didn't want to scare her.
"Do you think I will be like Lu Wushuang?" Ye Zhen looked at him with a smile.
Lu Lingzhi shook his head and said, "Yao Yao, you and Princess Qin look too much alike. If the emperor knows it in the future, it will be very bad for you."
For some reason, she felt ridiculous when she heard such words from Lu Lingzhi's mouth. "You mean Ye Zhen?"
"How do you know Ye Zhen?" Lu Lingzhi asked in amazement.
Ye Zhen chuckled. "Thank you for your concern."
Lu Lingzhi sighed softly. "Yao Yao, you don't believe what I said?"
"No, I believe you, but how do you know that the emperor doesn't know that I look like Ye Zhen?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile. Lu Lingzhi actually used such an excuse to stop her from entering the palace. Was this to make room for Ye Yaoyao?
What a painstaking effort! In order to make Ye Yaoyao a favorite concubine of Mo Rongzhan, he could find any excuse.
"How do you know about Ye Zhen? Did Mister Dan mention it to you before? "Lu Lingzhi frowned.
Ye Zhen asked impatiently, "What on earth do you want to say? Now that the emperor has decided to marry me and I am a princess, how can I enter the palace? Where did you hear that I am going to marry the emperor? "
No wonder the old madam knew about it. It seemed that she heard it from Lu Lingzhi. But where did Lu Lingzhi hear it?
