Chapter 112 He... wants to marry me as soon as possible!

After many things happened during the first two days of the autumn hunt, hunting on the third day was just a relaxing activity.

Women can move around, and if they find someone they like, they can pretend to meet him by chance. If both parties are attracted to each other, they can go down the mountain to propose marriage.

This is also the most interesting part of this autumn hunt.

Sun Qiming, Lin Tao and Yu Wei were all worried about the Anguo Mansion and had no intention of hunting.

Especially Minister Sun, who warned his son Sun Qiming not to have any contact with Lu Zhanxing. He had already vaguely sensed that His Majesty was dissatisfied with the Anguo Mansion, and the Anguo Mansion was now like a huge ship that was about to capsize. Although he was a third-rank minister, he had an ordinary background and the only thing he could do was to protect himself.

Lu Zhen of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion died in the battle, Lu Jin was forced to resign, and the old Duke is dying. The Duke of Anguo's Mansion is already a giant ship drifting in the wind, and may capsize at any time. He reminded his son several times not to have any contact with the second son of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, but not only did he not listen, he even dared to speak up for Master Lu. He really wanted to beat this useless and rebellious son to death.

No, he must win over the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and let his son get married as soon as possible after returning. After all, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is related to the Minister of Justice by marriage, and maybe he can save his only son at the critical moment.

Prime Minister Su is already thinking about how to protect his eldest daughter and son-in-law. He doesn't know if he can still give birth to a son now. When the Anguo Mansion falls, he can lend a helping hand to protect his son-in-law and eldest daughter. The grandson born then will also be related to him by blood, so this is not impossible.

Among some other ministers, only Lord Wei and Lord Mei remained calm. The former was because his future grandson-in-law, the Fifth Prince, was an excellent rider and archer and was loved by His Majesty, and His Majesty was still strong, so it was too early for him to compete for the throne.

The latter appears to be Wei Ge Lao's man, but secretly he is a loyal follower of Mo Long Ling.

He knew that even if all the old Duke's men were dead and only Prince Lu was left, he could not be bullied at will.

Today he also saw the outstanding performance of the second son of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that although the Duke of Anguo's Mansion did not have many descendants, none of them was mediocre.

Lu Zhen is a great general that the enemies are terrified of, while Lu Jin is making steady progress in the court. Before he didn't know who held the Ink Dragon Order, he looked down on Lu Jin. After all, he was awarded the title based on his father's merits and was very mediocre. But until that sudden situation, he not only managed to escape unscathed, but also received a reward from His Majesty for his successful retirement.

Elder Mei knew that Lu Jin was not as stupid as he seemed. Perhaps, this was what it meant to be wise in disguise?

Look at Prince Lu again. He is both talented and handsome, and he is outstanding in himself. No one in the royal family can compare to him.

The Second Young Master Lu was a notorious dandy, but only today did he realize that Lu Zhanxing was just performing what outsiders wanted to see, and that he was no less intelligent than Master Lu.

There is one dazzling person in the Anguo Mansion, while another overshadows the others. On the one hand, His Majesty cannot ignore him, and on the other hand, he lets down his guard. It can be seen that every generation of Lu family's descendants is so outstanding, and Lord Mei is very satisfied.

This is the monarch he wants to support, but as for this one now, alas... it’s hard to describe in words!

It was a pity that the Lu family was loyal to the royal family and had never thought of rising to power from generation to generation. Even as a cabinet minister, he could not persuade them to do such a treasonous thing.

He could only wait and see. If the Lu family really wanted to rebel, he would agree with them one hundred percent. The men of the Chu family were all narrow-minded. Although the fifth prince was relatively upright, he liked to wield guns and sticks and did not care about power at all. It was obvious that he had already given up this honorable position in his heart.

Fortunately, Lord Wei is in a high position and he does not insist on the Fifth Prince sitting on the supreme seat. Of course, he may also want the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince to both suffer losses and then reap the benefits. But no matter what, the current situation is that the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince are competing for the position of crown prince.

I wonder who will get the prize?

On the third day of hunting, Emperor Qian helped several couples to get married, and the previous good news made him feel even more relieved.

After returning to the palace on the fourth day, Emperor Qian issued two imperial edicts after the morning court session. The first one was about the assassination attempt during the autumn hunt, which had nothing to do with Prince Lu. He was released from prison and given a lot of rewards as a consolation. He was ordered to stay in the mansion with the old Duke and not to take care of the matter for the time being.

As soon as this imperial edict came out, everyone knew that Prince Lu's position might be changed. As for how it would change, it depended on what His Majesty thought.

Another imperial decree was to confer a title on a concubine. Concubine Yao, who was born a palace maid, was conferred the title of Virtuous Concubine and was deeply loved by His Majesty.

The high-ranking concubines who had princes not only did not regard her as a thorn in their eyes, but instead wanted to win her over. After all, Concubine Yao had no identity or background and no prince, but was favored by the emperor, so she was naturally a good target to win over.

In particular, Concubine Xian was very good at dealing with people. When someone came to her for help, she would turn around and advise His Majesty to love that beauty.

The next day, the beauty was named Yu Guiren. This shows how powerful Concubine Xian's pillow talk was. In an instant, all the concubines who were not favored in the palace came to her for help.

But who knows, the noble lady Yu supported by Concubine Xian is one of them, so what are the others?

But of course they won’t say it. Isn’t it interesting to watch others vying to please?

Princess Yaoguang couldn't help but smile knowingly when she heard the news. The virtuous concubine did not disappoint her.

"Princess, Prince Lu has been released." Yuqi, who had been paying attention to the news in the palace, reported immediately.

Nanny Wang stroked her chest, her eyes filled with relief: "Fortunately, Master Lu is safe and sound. I don't know who is so vicious as to frame Master Lu."

Princess Yaoguang's eyes flickered slightly. She didn't know it before, but now she knows.

"Zhishu, do we have any people in the Fourth Prince's Mansion and the Duke of Qing's Mansion?"

"Princess, this time when the Fourth Prince built his palace, he didn't choose anyone from us. In the Duke of Qing's palace, one of them became the concubine of the Second Young Master of the Yang Family. There are people in other princes' palaces, but they are all doing menial work, and we can't get any useful information."

Princess Yaoguang thought for a moment and said, "In the near future, the two princes will need a lot of maids and eunuchs to marry imperial concubines and concubines. You can arrange some people to select maids. If you arrange more people, there will always be someone who can be arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to other princes' palaces."

"Yes, I know!" Zhishu responded.

At this time, Siqin came back with a box of snacks, smiling: "Princess, look what I brought back?"

Nanny Wang laughed and scolded, "I asked you to go outside to get information, but you went out to satisfy your cravings?"

Siqin smiled mischievously: "Madam, please don't wrongly accuse me. I went to the Anguo Mansion to get information and happened to meet Master Lu's entourage. They specifically asked me to send Master Lu's loving snacks to our princess who misses her but cannot meet her to satisfy her craving. If the princess doesn't want them, then I will not be polite..."

"You're such a chatterbox!" Nanny Wang scolded with a smile, then said happily for her master: "Princess, Master Lu still has you in his heart, otherwise he would have thought of you right after he was released and sent some snacks to put your mind at ease."

The princess blushed and gave Zhihua a look. Zhihua stepped forward and snatched the snack box from Siqin's hand, handed it to her master respectfully, and couldn't help but said mischievously: "Princess, try it quickly and see if it can relieve your lovesickness?"

The princess was shy and embarrassed, her face red as she smiled like a cloud: "Mammy, look at them..."

Nanny Wang quickly came to the rescue of her master: "You are becoming more and more disrespectful. You dare to laugh at your master. Be careful or the princess will marry you all off before she gets married."

The four of them immediately stopped smiling, begged for mercy, and refused to get married no matter what.

The princess' heart was filled with emotions, and she felt a mixture of sourness and sweetness as she held the snack box. She slowly opened the exquisite snack box in her hand and found a letter inside. She opened it curiously and her face turned even redder with embarrassment.

Nanny Wang and the others were a little curious. What did Master Lu say?

"Mammy, he...he said he wanted to marry me as soon as possible..."
