Chapter 339 Everyone has their own thoughts
Moreover, this incident implicated others and almost caused the death of an unrelated person.
Li Hongting did not answer the question, but changed the subject: "We haven't been to the palace for a while. I see the weather is good today, why don't we go in and take a look today!"
Lu Shian was a little disappointed. She thought Li Hongting would help her, but then she thought, he is the prince, how could he listen to a little girl like her!
However, since Li Hongting was unwilling to lend her anyone, she had to think carefully!
The Queen Mother was very happy to see the two of them coming, and she held Lu Shian's hand and talked nonstop.
"I've been bored these past two days. They wouldn't let me go out in this beautiful snowy scenery. How can this be possible?"
"They are also thinking about you, the Queen Mother. Please be considerate of them."
"When you get older, there are always all kinds of things that you are not allowed to do. It's really boring, really boring..."
The Queen Mother was complaining when the Imperial Concubine arrived.
Upon hearing that the Imperial Concubine was coming, Li Hongting stood up immediately.
Lu Shian was also curious about how beautiful this woman, who was the most favored woman in the harem, was.
The Imperial Concubine walked in slowly, and Lu Shian could only think of one word: graceful and elegant.
Everyone stood up and saluted her. She smiled and waved her hand to ask everyone to stand up, then came to the Queen Mother and bowed respectfully.
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Alright, alright, get up quickly."
After a round of greetings, the Imperial Concubine's eyes fell on Lu Shian: "Are you Lu Shian?"
Lu Shian, who had just sat down, was called and could only stand up and salute again: "In reply to the Imperial Concubine, I am Lu Shian."
"Have you taken the things I sent you?"
The Imperial Concubine asked this on purpose. Ever since she knew her son had different feelings for Lu Shian, she has paid special attention to Lu Shian and knows her whereabouts very well.
Lu Shian smiled calmly and said, "Thank you, Imperial Concubine, for your kindness."
Seeing that she didn't answer her question directly, the imperial concubine was slightly displeased: "Why are those things not to your taste?"
"Everything the Imperial Concubine bestows upon us is a treasure. It would be a waste to give it to a commoner girl."
The imperial concubine raised her eyebrows. Didn't she say that this girl was upright and impulsive, and did things as she pleased? Why did she speak so imperceptibly today?
"It seems that you don't like the things I gave you."
Li Hongting spoke at the right time: "Mother, please don't embarrass her. This girl is the worst at speaking. If she says something wrong, please bear with me."
Seeing him protecting Lu Shi'an like this, the Queen Mother joked: "Look, look, our Second Prince knows how to protect people..."
"Grandmother, please stop teasing Ting'er."
"I'm telling the truth."
After chatting for a few more sentences, Lu Shian didn't dare to say anything and just sat there and listened attentively.
Li Hongting saw that she was uncomfortable, so he used the excuse of taking Lu Shian out to see the snow scenery in the Imperial Garden and led her out.
As the two of them left, the smile on the imperial concubine's face faded a little.
The Queen Mother leaned back lazily and said, "I like this girl, so you must not embarrass her in the future."
"You are joking, mother. My daughter-in-law likes her very much, so she will not embarrass her. But this girl..."
"What's wrong with this girl?"
The Imperial Concubine continued, "Just now I deliberately asked her how the food she sent tasted, thinking that she would take the opportunity to complain about the Marquis's Mansion, but I didn't expect that this girl didn't mention the Marquis's Mansion at all, which made my daughter-in-law very curious."
She saved the Second Prince and was his benefactor. If she made any request, as the Second Prince's biological mother, she would do her best to help her.
Unexpectedly, she didn't even mention the Marquis' Mansion. It seemed that this girl didn't care about fame or wealth.
This virtue is rare.
The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "The Marquis' Mansion is not a good place. Since the eldest son came back, there have been so many troubles. I think the prince is not a simple person. He has regained the position of the prince not long after returning. It can be seen that he is not as simple as ordinary people."
The Imperial Noble Consort just smiled along. She had a different opinion in her heart, but she would not say it out loud.
Lu Jingxun is naturally no simple man, but more importantly, the right time, right place and right people are all indispensable.
Lu Jingxun was taken away when he was a child. After so many years, he finally returned to his original track and took back what belonged to him.
There was nothing to see in the Imperial Garden except snow everywhere. Lu Shian followed Li Hongting all the way to the Plum Garden.
Even though he had seen it before, Lu Shian was still pleasantly surprised: "This plum blossom is really beautiful."
"Like it?"
Lu Shian stared at the plum blossoms with great joy: "Well, it's freezing cold in winter, people can't even stretch out their hands, and there are no bright colors anywhere, so these plum blossoms are very beautiful and eye-catching."
Li Hongting stared at Lu Shian, thinking about how she had killed the wolf with electric shock, and what that black thing was.
He replied softly, "The plum blossoms are beautiful to begin with."
Lu Shian nodded: "Well, the plum blossoms are beautiful, especially at this time, Ling Han is blooming alone!"
“Ling Han opened it alone…”
Li Hongting's eyes lit up: "Well said, Shian, have you really never been to school?"
Lu Shian's heart tightened: "What does the Second Prince mean by this?"
"Don't get me wrong. I mean, what you said is very good. It doesn't sound like something that an uneducated person would say."
Lu Shian laughed foolishly, trying to cover up the truth: "I didn't have any education before, but later I became rich, so I thought about reading more books so that I wouldn't be looked down upon by others."
"Is that right?"
"Of course not." Lu Shian chuckled: "I just don't want to be looked down upon. Although our Dayuan people are open-minded and allow women to do business, there are actually a lot of people who look down on women.
I thought if I could read, maybe people wouldn’t look down on me anymore!”
Lu Shian deliberately made it sound pitiful, but it was actually pretty much the same!
Marquis’ Mansion!
Lu Jingxun had just returned from the Lu residence, and Yu Xiuying and her daughter ignored him even more!
The Royal Concubine’s meaning was very clear, she was the daughter of the Marquis’ Mansion and should stay in the Marquis’ Mansion.
But now Lu Shian is reluctant to come back, which gives Lu Jingxun a headache. He has already been so humble, what else can he do!
When the butler saw him coming back, he told him what the lady had said!
"Madam, ask the prince to come over after he comes back!"
No need to guess, Lu Jingxun also knew what the wife of the Marquis was going to say!
Just as he expected, as soon as they met, the wife of the Marquis immediately asked him when they would be back!
Lu Jingxun was also very annoyed by this matter, but he couldn't say that he was incompetent: "Their mothers don't want to come back, saying that their lives in the Marquis' Mansion were really miserable before, and they will never come back no matter what!"
"Cowardly? How dare they call them cowards!"
The wife of the Marquis was so angry that she was jumping up and down!
"Go ask around in Anjing City and see which mistress is as bad as me and still has the nerve to say she is wronged. It's ridiculous!"
