Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

Meng Yunshang was a little surprised, "What does this Magistrate Xia want to do?"

If she remembered correctly, at the Fang family's birthday party last time, the Xia Yulan who challenged Fang Ruoruo in everything was the daughter of the prefect.

"A few years ago, I saw the name of this prefect in the memorial Lu Yuanjing submitted to my brother the Emperor."

Given Lu Yuanjing's character, it is impossible for him to help others for no reason, unless this Magistrate Xia is valued by him.

"Is he Lu Yuanjing's man?"

Lu Chenxiao shook his head, "It's not certain at the moment, but what is certain is that he is very good at flattering people."

Flattery...

"Then he is asking for a meeting now, could it be that he wants to show off his presence in front of us?"

"Maybe more."

"Shall we go and have a look together?"

"It's windy outside, wait for me to come back inside."

Meng Yunshang wanted to say that this little cold was nothing, but she couldn't resist the man's insistence, so she could only compromise and stay.

Lu Chenxiao saw her reluctance and comforted her softly, "I'll be back soon and try to come back early to accompany you."

Meng Yunshang reluctantly stated, "I'm really not that fragile."

"Well, I know, but my daughter and I both want you to stay warm in the house instead of going out in the cold."

"..."

Meng Yunshang had nothing to say and could only wave her hand in disgust, signaling him to leave quickly.

It's really out of sight, out of mind.

Lu Chenxiao grabbed her hand, gave it a light sip, and quickly left before Meng Yunshang glared at him.

Walking in the courtyard, he coldly instructed the Xuanyi Guards hidden in the secret guards, "Protect the princess."

A uniform voice came from the air, "Yes!"

lobby.

Xia Zhirong sat in the main seat like a master, holding a cup of hot tea that the maid had just brought to him.

He lifted the lid very delicately, skimmed off the tea foam, and took a small sip.

As soon as the tea entered his mouth, he spat it out.

"What's going on? You guys in the general's mansion are using old tea to entertain guests?"

The maid explained in a low voice, "My Lord, you have misunderstood. The master of the mansion drinks the same tea for himself and entertains guests. There is no distinction between new tea and old tea."

"Nonsense!" Xia Zhirong shouted angrily, "How could the prince, a daughter of a rich family, drink old tea that is not worthy of being served? It is obvious that you, a little girl, are deceiving your superiors and deceiving your subordinates, and fooling me."

"No, I don't!"

"Someone, come here! Drag this bitch away to me!"

As soon as the words fell, Lu Chenxiao's voice rang out, "Master Xia has such great authority!"

Xia Zhirong felt his scalp tingling and he quickly stood up and walked towards the door.

Meeting Lu Chenxiao's half-smiley eyes, he couldn't help but let his legs go limp, and he knelt down in front of Lu Chenxiao.

"I deserve to die, Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Lu Chenxiao sneered, "What crime has Lord Xia committed?"

"Your subordinate, I shouldn't be so arrogant in the general's mansion. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

"It turns out that Lord Xia knew that this was not your government office. I thought I had gone to the wrong place."

Xia Zhirong trembled and said, "I dare not!"

"Ha! I think you are very daring."

As Lu Chenxiao lifted his robe and sat down with a sullen face, he discovered that there was another person kneeling in front of him.

"Your Highness, please allow me to report this. This is a misunderstanding. My father loves tea tasting and found that the tea in the cup was made from old tea, so he kindly reminded the maid. He did not mean to make trouble."

Without even raising his eyelids, Lu Chenxiao sneered and asked, "Who do you think you are!"

"Commoner Xia Yulan greets His Royal Highness Prince Heng!"

As Xia Yulan bowed, she quietly looked at Lu Chenxiao. Seeing his handsome face and deep eyes, her heart began to beat fast.

This was the most handsome man she had ever seen.

He is more attractive than any other man in Jinli.

At the same time, I was secretly delighted that this trip to the General's Mansion was truly worth it.

However, Lu Chenxiao didn't look at her directly.

Instead, he asked Xia Zhirong directly, "I'm asking you, what on earth is this thing that's neither male nor female?"

Xia Zhirong's heart sank, and he was somewhat unsure of what he was thinking.

I could only introduce her carefully, "This is my little girl Yulan."

"As the prefect of Jincheng, you come to see me, but you bring something so unpresentable. Who are you trying to embarrass?"

"No, Your Majesty, you misunderstood. I, your humble servant, just..."

After being scolded several times in a row, Xia Yulan didn't care about the grievance. She stiffened her neck and wanted to seek justice for herself, "What do you mean by this, Your Majesty?"

"Although Yulan is not a stunning beauty, she is at least pretty and suitable for a family. Your Highness humiliating her like this is really unbecoming of a Yuan prince."

Lu Kang, who was following closely behind Lu Chenxiao, immediately shouted, "How dare you!"

Xia Yulan was frightened and regained some of her rationality, but she still stiffened her neck and argued.

"I'm right. The royal family attaches great importance to etiquette, but the prince made things so difficult for a weak woman. If this gets out, wouldn't it make people question the royal etiquette of the Yuan Dynasty?"

It has to be said that Xia Yulan has a sharp tongue. With just a few words, she put Lu Chenxiao in a very high position.

If Lu Chenxiao argued with her, not only would he lose the demeanor of a royal child, but his character would also be questioned.

Lu Kang put his hand on the hilt of the sword, waiting for his master's order to attack Xia Yulan.

At this moment, Lu Chenxiao suddenly chuckled.

"You don't think that if you use such a clumsy trick to attract the king's attention, the king will look at you differently, right?"

Xia Yulan's face turned pale.

The embarrassment of having her thoughts exposed made her want to crawl into the ground immediately.

"Not only do I hate stupidity, I also hate ugliness. People like you are not even worthy of carrying my shoes. I don't know where you got the courage to show off your wit in front of me."

"Your Highness, calm down. My little girl, she just..."

"My patience is limited. Xia Zhirong, if you say something I don't like again, don't blame me for being rude."

Xia Zhirong's face turned pale immediately.

He looked at Xia Yulan, then at Lu Chenxiao.

Finally, he sighed softly and took out the gilded invitation card he had prepared long ago.

"Your Majesty's presence brings glory to my humble home. I will host a banquet to welcome you. The time is set for tomorrow. I hope Your Majesty will do me the honor of attending."

Lu Kang took the invitation and handed it to Lu Chenxiao.

Lu Chenxiao opened it and glanced at it casually, then chuckled with an ambiguous tone, "When Cheng Yao first came to Jincheng, the Fang family held a welcoming banquet for him and sent him a spy. Now, Xia Zhirong, you specially held a welcoming banquet for me. What gift are you going to give me?"

I have seen honest people, but I have never seen anyone so honest.

Xia Zhirong was so frightened that cold sweat ran down his forehead, "I dare not."

"Take this ugly thing away. It hurts my eyes to look at it."

Xia Zhirong should be humble.

"Your Highness Prince Heng!" Xia Yulan was so angry that her lungs were about to explode, but Lu Chenxiao still didn't pay her any attention.

He walked out of the front hall without looking around.

Xia Yulan stamped her feet in annoyance, "Dad, look at him, how can he be so arrogant?"

Xia Zhirong frowned and rebuked, "I told you not to act recklessly before you know the details of Prince Heng. Now, not only have you failed to leave a good impression on Prince Heng, but you have also made him dislike you. What are we going to do at the welcoming banquet tomorrow?"

Invitations have been sent to all the famous families in Jincheng. If Prince Heng does not show up in the end, they will become a huge joke.

Xia Yulan gritted her teeth and said, "I just wanted to get there before the Fang family, but who knew that Prince Heng would not play by the rules!"

"Ugh!"
