The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

As far as the emperor is concerned, this matter is a clear one.

Now the emperor also agreed to accept the gift first and there is no need to go to Prince Jin's Mansion to apologize proactively.

"If Lu Zhaoling was sensible, she wouldn't have gone to A Yue crying and demanding justice for such a small matter. It was just a misunderstanding anyway, and nothing happened to her."

The emperor said unconcernedly, "A gentleman loves a beautiful lady. It's an honor for her to be liked by that boy from the Yuan family. I've heard that the boy from the Yuan family has very high standards. He has been chaste for so many years and has never laid eyes on any girl."

Therefore, Lu Zhaoling should be secretly happy that such a young man took a fancy to her. After all, this proved that she was good-looking.

It would be foolish of her to go and cry to the King of Jin.

"Okay, if Ah Yue gets angry, I'll talk to him."

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

Yupin then sent the message back to the Yu family.

After hearing this, Yu Xu asked Yuan Jinyi out to talk to him.

Yuan Jinyi thought about what his father said and simply decided to set the location on Luo Qiu's houseboat.

He was more curious about Miss Luo Qiu, whom even Prime Minister Shen had a crush on.

As for the second prince Zhou Ling, Yuan Jinyi knew that he liked Lu Zhaoyun, the eldest daughter of Lord Lu Ming.

Yuan Jinyi had met Lu Zhaoyun, Lu Zhaoyue, and Lu Zhaohua sisters before, and he didn't like them at all.

So accordingly, he also did not trust the second prince's vision.

(Linglong: Is that polite?)

It’s actually difficult to book a house for Miss Luo Qiu.

She originally declared to the outside world that she only sold her art and not her body. Many powerful and wealthy children liked her noble attitude and were willing to support her.

People outside also know that Luo Qiu has someone backing him up.

So Luo Qiu only receives guests for two hours a day, which means two groups, one group takes a tour of the lake.

This results in some people always being unable to make appointments.

The Yuan family still has some connections.

Master Yuan was willing to help him make an appointment, and asked a young man who had made an appointment with Luo Qiu's houseboat today to make the appointment.

Yuan Jinyi took Yu Xu and several other friends onto Luo Qiu's pleasure boat.

When they boarded the pleasure boat, Shen Xiangjun happened to be nearby and saw this scene.

Shen Xiangjun has been very low-key in the past two years. He can be said to be living in seclusion and rarely goes out. He tells others that he is concentrating on studying pharmacology.

People in the capital were curious about whether she would propose marriage or not, but Prime Minister Shen said that he wanted to keep his daughter at home for a few more days, and he already had a son-in-law in mind. Although outsiders were curious, they didn't spread the news too badly.

At Shen Xiangjun's age, she should have been married a long time ago.

"Miss, that is the young master of the Yuan family that the master mentioned." A maid appeared beside Shen Xiangjun.

This maid was brought back to the Prime Minister's Mansion by her father a year ago and asked to stay with her. This maid looked ordinary, but Shen Xiangjun had seen her abilities over the past year.

She is very skilled in martial arts and can use poison. It seems that her knowledge is not comparable to that of ordinary maids.

Luo Qiu was originally very annoyed about the relationship between her father and Luo Qiu. She also didn't believe that her father would dote on her wholeheartedly and didn't want to bring the person arranged by her father.

But after discovering the maid's abilities, Shen Xiangjun changed her mind and kept her by her side. This year, she also tried many ways to win the maid over to become her confidant.

Now it seems to be working.

At least, this maid told her Prime Minister Shen's plan.

Her father wanted to marry her to Yuan Jinyi.

Shen Xiangjun couldn't even remember what Yuan Jinyi looked like. For so many years, her attention had always been on Prince Jin.

How could Yuan Jinyi be worthy of her!

Is it because the Yuan family has many disciples?

Most of these people are scattered all over the world, and not many of them stay in the capital and climb to high positions.

"The Yuan family is strange. They have many disciples, but very few stand out. They are like a bunch of small fish and shrimp."

Shen Xiangjun frowned and couldn't help but say this to the maid.

The maidservant beside her said calmly, expressionless, "Young lady, please don't underestimate the Yuan family. Although they are all small fish and shrimp, their strength lies in their numbers, and when gathered together, they become a large pond. The master said that these people, scattered across the country, can often play an unexpected role."

This is also the reason why the Yuan family is valued.

"Oh," Shen Xiangjun said coldly, "They say Young Master Yuan never sets foot in brothels, so what about now?"

Originally, she thought that Luo Qiu only sold his art and not his body, but ever since she knew about her father and Luo Qiu, Shen Xiangjun felt extremely disgusted with Luo Qiu.

"Perhaps, Master Yuan went there with others?"

In the teahouse by the lake on the other side, several people were talking.

One of them was Qiu Yunzhen.

Qiu Yunzhen felt that there was something wrong with her. Why did she come to listen to Lu Rubao's nonsense?

While Lu Rubao was still chattering, Qiu Yunzhen turned around impatiently, but happened to see Shen Xiangjun under the willow tree in front of him.

Shen Xiangjun was looking ahead. Qiu Yunzhen followed her gaze and also saw Luo Qiu's pleasure boat.

Luo Qiu's pleasure boat is so famous, there is no way she doesn't know about it.

She used to be good friends with Shen Xiangjun, but now they hardly interact with each other. Occasionally, when they run into each other on the street or in a teahouse, they just pretend they don't see each other.

"Ms. Qiu, I've said so much, will you agree or not?" Lu Rubao's mouth was dry from talking, and when he didn't hear Qiu Yunzhen speak, he couldn't help but raise his voice and shout.

Lu Rubao is the daughter of Lu Ming's younger brother.

In the past two years, in order to live a good life, she has been to the Second Prince's Mansion many times.

At first, she had been trying to please Lu Zhaoyun, but later she found that Lu Zhaoyun did not pave the way for her at all, and was now acting crazy, so she turned around and wanted to take advantage of the second prince.

Unfortunately, the second prince was bewitched by Miss Linglong and ignored her.

Her father has been locked up in prison and has not been released. She has grown taller recently and her clothes are too short for her. The Lu family doesn't even have the money to buy her new clothes!

She was going crazy living in that shabby house, and had to eat inedible food every day.

I really can't stand it anymore.

Her elder sister Lu Rulian seemed to have found a way, but she kept avoiding her, making it impossible for her to find it even if she wanted to, which was very frustrating.

Lu Rubao met Qiu Yunzhen today and immediately got involved with her.

She knew that Qiu Yun was the future consort of the Second Prince. If she could stay by her side and follow her into the Second Prince's Mansion, coupled with her relationship with Lu Zhaoyun, her status in the Second Prince's Mansion would definitely be higher than that of the head maid.

When she grows up two more years and becomes a real grown-up girl, she will have the opportunity to attract the attention of the Second Prince!

Don’t ask why Lu Rubao was so obsessed with the Second Prince. The main reason was that she thought that the Second Prince would like Lu Zhaoyun, and as Lu Zhaoyun’s cousin, she must also be the Second Prince’s type.

"My sister is now the second prince's favorite. It will be difficult for you to marry into the family. I can help you keep an eye on my sister, and she won't be on guard against me. I am more useful than the maidservants around you." Lu Rubao emphasized again.
