Chapter 84

"The palace thought... In that case, let her move out as soon as possible," empress Jiang reluctantly rubbed her forehead, "the loss palace thought you were enlightened..."

Lu Sheng answered awkwardly and looked uneasily at little Chiang, the mother of his sweetheart.

"In fact, I already have a favorite woman."

Cruel, said Lu Sheng.

Empress Jiang raised her eyebrows in surprise. "Really, which woman is it?"

"I'm sorry, I can't say it now..."

Empress Jiang looked at Lu Sheng's face and nodded with a smile, "well, well, if you have the meaning of getting a wife."

After that, he turned to see little Jiang, "originally, the palace was still thinking that Xiao Xiao had not discussed relatives and matched her cousin Sheng. Unexpectedly, sheng'er had a sweetheart."

"Even if it's not, the minister's wife can't bear to have her daughter marry into the palace," Xiao Jiang smiled, half joking and half serious in his tone. "If you can, the minister's wife wants to recruit a son-in-law into the palace."

With that, little Chiang lowered his head to drink tea and ignored Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng's heart was half cold.

He knew that the Wen family loved their daughter and was afraid that they would not be willing to marry her into the royal family.

I just didn't expect that little Jiang knew that the person he said was happy was likely to be Wen Xiao, and refused so simply.

Lu Sheng bit his lips and sat with empress Jiang for a while. Then he went to the guest banquet hall to check the layout of the Palace Banquet.

The banquet starts on time at seven o'clock in the evening.

The emperor was in high spirits. After saying the words of the king and the people, as usual, he waved his hand and the musicians in the palace began to sing and dance.

Da Jue took the defense of men and women lightly. The family members of the officials sat on the emperor's right hand and the courtiers sat on the emperor's left hand. Both sides can see each other, which can also be regarded as fulfilling the meaning of family reunion in the Mid Autumn Festival.

Wen Xiao had no appetite and commented on singing and dancing with little Jiang.

Sitting next to the Chiang family, the Chiang family is not separated, and the women's family members all sit together. It looks very lively.

Before long, the banquet entered the state of their own group. The emperor went back to rest soon after eating, leaving only the ministers to drink and have fun in the palace.

"I've seen my aunt," Lu Sheng hesitated when he saw that there was no one over there. "Cousin Xiao, haven't seen you for a long time."

Wen Xiao bowed his head and saluted, "my daughter, greet your highness King Xuan."

Seeing her like this, Lu Sheng knew that she still didn't forgive herself. He was anxious. What he said owed him some consideration, "why do you and I have to live like this..."

"Your Highness, be careful," little Chiang interrupted him. "Xiaoxiao has only seen your highness once. It's hard to get familiar with your highness. If your Highness has nothing else, the minister's wife will leave with Xiaoxiao first."

With that, regardless of Lu Sheng's expression, he took his daughter and left.

Lu Sheng looked at the picture scroll in the boy's hand behind him, smiled bitterly, and turned back to his seat.

Time slowly disappeared in the greetings without nutrition, and the banquet soon came to an end.

Zhuo Bing saw that Lu Sheng had been holding the picture scroll, but he didn't express anything. He was anxious. When he saw a passing maid approaching with a teapot, he immediately had a plan.

"Your Highness, the minister's daughter saw someone delivering tea, so she took a pot and used some," Zhuo Bing poured some tea and handed it to Lu Sheng, and poured another cup to the boy holding the picture scroll behind him, "this little brother has worked hard too. Have a cup of tea."

Lu Sheng didn't think much. He took the tea and put it in his hand, but he heard the little fellow behind him exclaim, accompanied by Zhuo Binggang's voice: "be careful..."
