Chapter 84 I am not a man

Seeing that she was happy, Mu Qingli just smiled slightly. He cleaned up the black and white chess pieces on the table and said, "Mr. Lu, play a game with me!"

Lu Zhanxing was in a good mood, so of course she was willing. She was not very good at Go, having only played it in games in her previous life. She usually came here to entertain herself, and this was her first time playing against a real person.

On the rosewood chessboard, black and white chess pieces were densely distributed, and the two players started to play back and forth.

But gradually, Lu Zhanxing began to have some difficulty, and Mu Qingli realized that Young Master Lu was not good at chess.

But in just a moment, he was strangled to death by Mu Qingli.

Lu Zhanxing snorted and messed up the chessboard with his folding fan: "No more playing, it's boring."

He had deliberately instructed her in every way before, but in fact he was waiting for her to let down her guard so that he could take her down in one fell swoop and make her lose all her strength: "Humph, so treacherous!"

He is indeed a capable strategist, and he plans every step carefully when playing chess. She is just a playboy and cannot use such a sophisticated brain.

She never thought she was smart. If she wasn't familiar with the plot, this little bit of cleverness would not be enough.

Sure enough, she is more suitable to be a playboy who doesn't need to use his brain!

Come with good fortune and return with bad luck.

Mu Qingli looked at her departing back and couldn't help but shook his head and smiled. The character of a person can be seen from his chess skills. Even though Mr. Lu is married, he is still not completely settled.

Thinking that she was married, the smile on Mu Qingli's face gradually faded.

He frowned, wondering why he had such a thought.

What does it have to do with me whether Mr. Lu is married or not?

He got up and went back to his room in a somewhat irritable mood, even ignoring the maid Hua Guo who asked him if he wanted to have some snacks...

The days of leisure are gone in a flash.

In August, the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived as scheduled. Emperor Qian’s palace held a banquet and invited ministers of the third rank and above as well as some favorites.

As the eldest son of the Duke of Anguo, Lu Zhanyan was naturally invited. He also asked Lu Zhanxing if she wanted to go with him. Lu Zhanxing shook her head repeatedly. She would not go to that cannibalistic palace. She was afraid of being plotted against.

The ways of harming people at those banquets in TV dramas are endless, and she is a little scared.

He reminded his eldest brother to bring the brain-clearing pills, an extra set of clothes, and to show off the purse given by the princess...

With so many detailed instructions, I thought I was going to some place full of disasters and monsters.

Lu Zhanyan looked at his brother's constantly moving mouth with amusement, and couldn't help pinching her face: "Okay, I'll be careful, don't be too playful."

As soon as his elder brother left, Lu Zhanxing rubbed his pinched face, but his expression was worried. Fortunately, in the plot, nothing serious happened at this banquet.

Upon hearing that the defeated Dayan had sent its prince and princess to negotiate peace, it naturally also intended to propose a marriage.

But before the palace banquet, the princess sneaked out of the inn and went directly outside to watch the lantern festival, where she met the Fourth Prince. They had a fight over a lantern riddle, and finally recognized each other at the palace banquet. The princess developed feelings for him and ended up marrying the Fourth Prince as his concubine.

But the book says that the Fourth Prince loves the heroine Su Xianxin the most?

The Princess of Dayan made things difficult for Su Xianxin at every turn in the Fourth Prince's mansion. The Fourth Prince still needed her power, so he pretended not to see it. But once he ascended the throne, what the Princess of Yan had done were exposed. Without even getting the position of a concubine, he banished the Princess of Yan to the cold palace to vent his anger on the heroine.

Finally, after being tortured enough, they said that the princess had died of illness. Even though Dayan was dissatisfied, it could not produce any evidence, so the matter was left unresolved.

Princess Dayan’s people also made great efforts to ensure that the Fourth Prince could ascend the throne successfully.

Humph, this time she will not let the Fourth Prince marry Princess Dayan as his helper.

Lu Zhanxing decided to help Princess Dayan find a handsome man.

So whose wife should this Princess of Dayan be?

This Princess of Dayan is so innocent and naive. Why not give her to the Second Prince as his concubine?

She shook her head and thought, forget it, anyone would be fine as long as she wasn't the Fourth Prince's woman.

"Bai Jing, go to the posthouse and keep an eye on him. If there is a good-looking young man coming out to view the lanterns, keep an eye on him. If you see the Fourth Prince appear, sabotage him. You must not let the Fourth Prince and Princess Dayan have any contact."

After Bai Jing knew about it, he responded and left.

That night, his eldest brother went to the palace to attend a banquet. With Princess Yaoguang's people taking care of him, Lu Zhanxing felt relieved.

Lu Zhanxing was afraid of being asked by Su Xianye to go and see the lanterns, so he ran away with Lu Tong.

Su Xianye could only go to see the lanterns with Luo, her third sister and her new cousin. She felt a little regretful. Although her husband still paid attention to her, his attitude was much colder. This made her gradually realize that she would never win her husband's heart. She could only put her thoughts aside and get along with her husband with respect.

The Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival was very lively, and Lu Zhanxing took Lu Tong for a stroll on the streets.

Men and women dressed in fancy clothes walked together in groups of three or five, laughing and playing, young and old, it was very lively. Although we haven't entered East Street yet, the hustle and bustle and grandeur of the Lantern Market are already amazing.

There were octagonal lanterns depicting the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, gauze lanterns depicting Chang'e Flying to the Moon, octagonal lanterns made of glass, and all kinds of lanterns were turning in an endless stream before their eyes as the master and servant walked slowly forward.

"boom!"

Fireworks burst out in the sky, and she stood still suddenly, looking up slightly. Just at this moment, there was another sound, and a colorful flower appeared in the sky. Branches of beautiful flowers bloomed instantly, and Lu Zhanxing couldn't help thinking, it turns out that there were fireworks in ancient times!

There was a sudden squeeze and Lu Zhanxing staggered and almost fell. Fortunately, Lu Tong was quick to catch her.

But when she looked, she found that there was no Lu Tong. The man who hugged her and avoided the crowd was a strange man. He had a good temperament, but he looked ordinary, so she didn't like him.

She quickly stood up, her face indifferent: "Thank you!"

Whenever there is a handsome man, she will greet him with a smile. It turns out that novels are all lies. Most of the heroes who save beauties are ugly men.

"Master Lu, why do you have to keep people at a distance like this?"

"Ok?"

She couldn't help wondering at the familiar gentle voice: "Who are you?"

The man tapped his cheek, and Lu Zhanxing suddenly widened his eyes: "Mu Qingli?"

The man with changed appearance nodded with a smile: "It's me!"

Instantly, Lu Zhanxing smiled brightly: "Haha, it's you. You scared me. I thought you were some pervert."

Mu Qingli had an ordinary face, but she was still shocked by Lu Zhanxing's tone and the corners of her mouth twitched.

"I don't like men!"

This clearly tells her that being with two men will not have a good outcome, so don't mess with her mind.

Really, he has been a little crazy recently and was led astray by the person in front of him.

Lu Zhanxing smiled, his eyes slightly raised, and he tapped his chest with a folding fan in his hand, saying something shocking: "Why? Am I not as pretty as those girls?"
