Chapter 719: Don't make a big fuss, don't give up
Look, this thief is immortal.
Xue Jinyi glanced at the front and back of the alley, thinking that Mrs. Lu didn't dare to take the initiative to guide passers-by to come and see, so apart from the two of them, there was no one else in the alley.
She said: "Mrs. Lu, I am the princess of Chu, you should listen to my orders, not go against my will, right?" ”
"The concubine is also for the good of the princess," Mrs. Lu said bitterly, "Please understand the princess!" This...... I really haven't heard of a princess going through the back door. Princess, the main entrance of the Lu family is open for you, showing your identity, why don't you want to go through the main door? ”
She glanced over, with a little impatience in her eyes, as if she hoped that Xue Jinyi would get to know each other.
Xue Jinyi sighed lightly and turned her head to look at a carriage behind her, "Father-in-law Ning, Mrs. Lu insists on asking us to go through the main gate, do you think it's appropriate?" ”
Father-in-law Ning? Mrs. Lu's heart was shocked, and she slowly turned her head to look at the carriage behind her in disbelief, and when she saw a person dressed as an attendant come out of the carriage, her body shook uncontrollably twice.
Didn't the farce that blocked the door just now be seen by Gonggong Ning? Won't the emperor know about it?
Will the emperor think that they are rude and unorthodox, which will affect the entry of Yunrong into the East Palace?
Mrs. Lu was a little frightened, and it was more than that, and Gonggong Ning said with a smile: "Princess Chu, the slave maid also feels that it is not appropriate to go to the front door." ”
"Father-in-law Ning!" Mrs. Lu screamed.
Ning Gong said fairly: "Although the palace already knows about it, but it has not been said to the outside world, so it is not appropriate to publicize it now, so as not to attract suspicion, affect Miss Lu's body and mind, or attract the assassination of the remnants of the previous dynasty, these are all considered by Princess Chu, why didn't Mrs. Lu think about the safety of her daughter and the whole family?" ”
Mrs. Lu almost didn't catch her breath.
Father-in-law Ning smiled kindly, and took the initiative to find Mrs. Lu under the steps, "Mrs. Lu, it's not too late for you to understand now, it's not too early, let's go in quickly." ”
But Mrs. Lu was not willing to go down the steps.
She clenched her veil, she didn't give up, she didn't want to give up this precious opportunity, only by putting pressure on the palace as soon as possible could she recognize the identity of Yunrong as soon as possible, rescue the prince as soon as possible, and become the great benefactor of the prince and the Cai family!
She took a deep breath, her heart was crossed, and she said stubbornly: "The family motto of the Lu family, don't you dare to treat the distinguished guests like this, otherwise how can the concubine have the face to meet the ancestors of the Lu family." Otherwise, wouldn't it be nice to come in quietly through the front entrance from the front, without attracting attention? ”
Now it's "quietly", but when you really get to the gate, there will inevitably be an "accident".
Xue Jinyi looked at Mrs. Lu faintly, when it came to this, Mrs. Lu was still bent on going her own way, not making a big deal out of it, which shows how insecure the Lu family is.
The more insecure you are, the easier it is to die and find trouble.
Xue Jinyi smiled and said, "It seems that Mrs. Lu has not realized the seriousness of the matter. ”
"The slave thinks so, too." Qinglan nodded cooperatively.
Xue Jinyi shook her head and sighed, "Also, the turmoil of the remnants of the previous dynasty has not affected many people, so I think I can relax my vigilance?" ”
Qinglan waved her hand again and again, looking distressed, "This can't be helped, I don't know how many remnants of the previous dynasty are lurking in this city, waiting for the opportunity to move!" ”
"But don't people think it's dangerous? What do you mean by that? Good words are hard to persuade ......"
The words "damn ghost", Xue Jinyi would not say it explicitly, but only glanced at Mrs. Lu deeply.
Qinglan sighed heavily and glanced at Mrs. Lu, with a hint of disappointment and regret in her eyes.
With such two eyes, Mrs. Lu was a little frightened.
Xue Jinyi also sighed, "Father-in-law Ning, we have been persuading the Lu family for a long time, but we still block the door and insist on disobeying the emperor's order. What do you think is good? ”
When Mrs. Lu heard this, her face was a little unbearable.
Ning Gong said fairly: "Since this is the case, the slave maid has no choice but to go back to the palace and truthfully present the emperor." ”
As he spoke, he made a gesture to drill into the carriage.
Mrs. Lu finally couldn't hold it back, and hurriedly bowed down to confess, and said loudly: "It's because the concubine was confused for a while, and she failed to understand the kindness of the emperor and Princess Chu. ”
She blamed herself as she slapped herself on the cheek.
The crisp sound of "pop" shocked the Lu family steward and his subordinates to feel that their faces hurt.
"The child in Yunrong's womb is His Royal Highness the Prince, the eldest grandson of the emperor who has been looking forward to it for a long time, how can the concubine be so sloppy and sloppy, it is really a crime that deserves death!"
When she was about to slap herself in the face for the second time, Qinglan stepped forward and grabbed her wrist.
Xue Jinyi said: "Okay, Mrs. Lu doesn't have to blame herself so much, it's important to visit Miss Lu." ”
Mrs. Lu kept slapping herself, as if they had bullied her.
Mrs. Lu laughed dryly, even if she was dissatisfied, she didn't dare to question it, and hurriedly bowed down and sneered: "Princess Chu, please." ”
Xue Jinyi gave Qinglan a look, and the latter beckoned the guards who came with him to bring down the gifts they brought, and Doctor Zhu and Father-in-law Ning jumped out of the carriage one after another and came to Xue Jinyi's side.
Mrs. Lu peeked at the box containing the gifts, and without looking carefully, she withdrew her gaze and sneered a few times in her heart.
Wait a minute, let Princess Chu look good!
Let this little girl know that if she dares to go wild at the door of the future Guozhang, she will have to pay a terrible price!
When everyone was ready, Mrs. Lu had to nod in front of Xue Jinyi, "Princess Chu, please." ”
The steward and his subordinates hurriedly dispersed, bowing down to welcome the arrival of Princess Chu.
With a soft smile on her face, Xue Jinyi led the people of the Chu Palace's mansion into the back door of the Lu family generously.
Mrs. Lu secretly rolled her eyes and led the way in front.
Xue Jinyi quietly observed the surroundings as she walked, and the guards dressed as men and women behind her seemed to have sharp eagle eyes, and if there was any movement along the way, they could not escape his eyes.
The Lu family's house is not big, and it is not ranked at all in the capital where wealthy families and nobles gather, and the decoration is still quite simple and elegant, with a scholarly appearance, but there is nothing brilliant about it.
Mrs. Lu took everyone to the flower hall, the ladies of the Lu family had already gathered here, and when they saw that the Chu Wangfu had finally come in, they saluted together, Mrs. Lu first asked someone to bring tea and pastries, and then sent someone to hurry up to invite Lu Yunrong to come over.
"Don't bother Miss Lu so much, I'll go see her in a while." Xue Jinyi raised her hand to stop, lest Lu Yunrong have a headache and brain fever for a while, and blame her on her head.
