Chapter 258 2 Sister, you say
After saying this, Lu Xinlan turned around and went back to the room to accompany Pei and the others.
Lu Xinran stood by the window and looked at her, always feeling that what she had just said had a hidden meaning.
She glanced at Zhang Shui'er in confusion and saw that the other person's face was also filled with confusion.
On such a happy day, the emperor doesn't really want to spoil the fun by trying to intimidate the empress, does he?
She was thinking about this matter in her mind, and when she entered the palace in the afternoon, she was still thinking about asking the system to load the other party's booklet as soon as she saw the queen.
Based on her understanding of Lu Xinlan, she must not have said that casually, but she was still a little confused as to why she was reminded of this.
In the Wenhua Palace, the emperor narrowed his eyes as he looked at the empress, who was still in military uniform and had not had time to change back into palace clothes.
He glanced back and forth at the group of people behind the queen, and always felt that these deputy generals had a close connection with the Zhang family.
He doesn't want to promote any of them.
But the army had just returned victoriously, and if he did not reward them, it would only discourage the soldiers.
He tilted his head to look at Zhang Yongping, "Minister of War, how do you think I should reward you for this battle?"
Zhang Yongping lifted his skirt, bowed and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I think the reward should be based on military merit."
This is the consistent system in the military, and it is impossible to find any fault with it.
The emperor felt inexplicably dissatisfied with being criticized. His heart stagnated slightly and his eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Queen, then tell me how to reward the deputy generals you brought back?"
The ball was kicked to the queen's feet again, and the queen looked back at her calmly.
"I think the rewards should be based on military merit."
The emperor's face turned completely ugly due to the same words as Zhang Yongping's. He snorted in his heart but just nodded indifferently on the surface.
"In this case, the Minister of War will draft a reward edict based on the submitted memorials and reward the deputy generals."
The atmosphere in the palace was inexplicably strange. The several deputy generals who had originally followed the queen to the capital to ask for rewards with great joy now all felt the displeasure emanating from the emperor.
When their eyes met, they all held their breath, fearing that if they were not careful they would not only not get any benefit, but also incur the emperor's displeasure.
The emperor had no time to pay attention to them at this moment. He waved his hand in annoyance and said, "You go down first. The queen stays."
Zhang Yongping bowed and stepped back, then walked out of the Wenhua Hall with several deputy generals.
The queen stood in the hall, still looking back at the emperor calmly. As long as the emperor didn't ask any questions, she would just stand there quietly.
"I can't tell, my Zi Tong is getting more powerful."
"Your Majesty, when you first met me at the border, I defeated the Rong and Di tribes. Now I am just getting on my warhorse again, doing the same things as before."
“No difference…”
The emperor chewed on these four words and suddenly chuckled, "Yes, my Zi Tong has always been like this."
They are all "reckless men" who only know how to show off their power on the battlefield.
Back then, he needed to borrow the power of the Zhang family, so he had to marry the Zhang family's eldest daughter, but now he has been in power for a long time and no longer needs to compromise himself.
Thinking of this, he suddenly lost interest in saying anything more to the Queen and waved his hand to signal her that she could leave.
"I don't want to see this annoying armor at the dinner."
The queen paused for a moment before leaving, then strode away without even responding to the emperor's words.
The emperor narrowed his eyes and stared at her departing back, feeling that the queen's departure this time seemed very different from before.
The celebration banquet was held in the square in front of the Fengtian Hall. When the officials entered the palace with their families, the square had already been decorated.
Sister Lu Xinran supported Pei on each side and followed the palace maid to where the Lu family was sitting.
This time, all the legitimate daughters and sons of the Lu family entered the palace.
When Lu Yuanheng saw Lu Xinran and her sister, he turned his head with mixed feelings, unwilling to look at them any longer.
However, Lu Yuanting from the second house tried to say a few words to the sisters along the way.
Before Lu Xinran's system came into being, he was the melon-eating king in Beijing.
The most common thing that the students in the academy did was to exchange information with him using all kinds of treasures.
Now that he has a system that never makes mistakes, he, the know-it-all, has lost his former good business, and the information he gets is not as accurate as before.
He was not particularly talented in studying, and his parents no longer had the intention of letting him take the imperial examination and enter an official career.
The reason why he was allowed to go to the academy every day was simply because they were afraid that he would be led astray by others and become a playboy if he stayed in the mansion.
Being a playboy is not as fun as being a know-it-all. It was not convenient to go to the backyard to look for Lu Xinran all the time before, but this time is a rare opportunity. Before the celebration banquet starts, I must ask more about the big news that he has not been able to find out.
"Second sister, why do you think Lu Changhe from the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion is still unwilling to discuss marriage?"
[Lu Changhe? Let me see.]
[Oh, I see. He is waiting for his cousin to reach the age of marriage. It will take another year and a half for his cousin to reach the age of marriage. Only after reaching the age of marriage can they discuss marriage, so he has been waiting.]
[Well, let me calculate how long he has been waiting! ]
Lu Xinran silently flicked his fingers in his sleeves, then took a breath.
[He actually waited for five or six years! Five or six years ago, his cousin was only seven or eight years old! ]
[He actually had feelings for a seven or eight year old girl. Does he have some shameful habit? ]
[She’s only seven or eight years old, her teeth haven’t all grown in yet, and she’s losing her teeth later, so her front teeth haven’t even grown out yet… To have such thoughts about a little girl…]
She rubbed her arms in disgust, and Lu Xintong and Lu Xinling beside her followed her example and rubbed their arms in fear.
Lu Yuanting smiled and glanced at his classmate not far away whose face had turned a little pale, and he felt secretly happy.
He said that Lu Changhe always acted like a gentleman, but he looked like a hypocritical guy.
He has been having problems with his cousin since she was seven or eight years old. This seemingly righteous classmate must be a pedophile!
"Second sister, why do you think Cao Nian, the eldest son of Cao Wei from the Ministry of Rites, has no children even after getting married?"
[Cao Nian... He is born with a disability. His little chili pepper has not developed yet and is not even as long as his little finger. How can he make his wife pregnant? His wife is still a virgin. ]
[His mother had already planned to have his wife fake a pregnancy, and then go to the tribe to adopt a boy and put him under their name.]
Everyone who was quietly watching the show: "..."
Tiancan is still okay!
Lu Xintong lowered her head and glanced at her little finger. Although she didn't understand what the little pepper was referring to, but... the second sister's tone seemed so thin and short, it definitely wouldn't work!
In the distance, Cao Nian, who had never expected that his most private parts would be exposed even at such a distance, suddenly felt dizzy when everyone was jokingly looking at his lower body. He fainted.
Lu Yuanting glanced at the movement in the distance and saw that his cousin was still eating the watermelon diligently, so he quickly said something else.
"Did Hu Xianlin, who works for Lord Hu in the Ministry of Personnel, redeem the courtesan?"
[Yes, he redeemed her, but he did not redeem her to take her as his mistress, but to hand her over to his father. His father gave her to Tian Yu in Shangfeng, and she became his mistress.]
[The courtesan used all her tricks to make Tian Yu fall in love with her. She promised that if she could give birth to a son for him, she would be taken back to his house as his concubine.]
[The courtesan is now three months pregnant. He has been sending supplements and clothing to her mistress every day, and has also given her a shop on Suzaku Street.]
