After the divorce, the reborn emperor seduced me into his arms
Chapter 38: Prince Consort Lu Mingyue
Yan Qing has been losing money.
Almost all the money I won in the dice area was lost.
Luzhi was anxious watching from behind, and several times she couldn't help but want to persuade the young lady to stop.
This is a lot of hard-earned money.
It's gone just like that...
Heart hurts.
Fortunately, the ladies lost all their recent wins, and the capital they brought with them had not been used yet.
Just as Luzhi was thinking this, she heard Yan Qing say, "Silver."
"Miss, why don't we not..."
"Chatty!"
Qingluan tugged at Luzhi, handed the silver in her hand to Yan Qing, and signaled her to hold her breath and calm down.
The gambling house was bustling with noise, mostly from the shouts of gambling, but if you listened carefully you could hear a few strange sounds.
Luzhi was stunned.
Only then did I realize that the young lady was gambling while chatting with someone, and the content of the conversation seemed to be related to the eldest princess of the dynasty...
Although Yan Qing didn't know how to play Pai Gow, she was very smart and figured out the pattern after losing a few games.
The reason why she didn't win the money was because she heard that the people she was betting with had relatives working in the Princess's Mansion, and they were whispering about the affairs of the Duke's Mansion.
In order to keep those people, she deliberately kept losing.
No one doesn't like silver.
Especially the money you won yourself.
Yan Qing started chatting with them while losing money. After a few casual guidances, they moved from talking about the wild horses in the Princess's mansion to talking about the prince consort.
"Master Lu is lucky to have been chosen by the princess as her husband..."
"I heard that Mr. Lu is a fairy-like figure. I wonder if it's true?"
"My cousin's daughter works at the Duke's Mansion. She said that the Prince Consort is as noble and unparalleled as the moon in the sky, so people call him Prince Moon..."
"This prince consort is from the Lu family of Fanyang and is one of the four great sons. He is truly extraordinary!"
"What's so great about that? I have a distant relative in Fanyang who said that Lu Mingyue is just a branch of the Lu family. If the eldest princess hadn't taken a fancy to him, the Fanyang Lu family wouldn't have recognized him at all..."
Yan Qing's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
She weighed the purse in her hand and asked curiously, "This young man seems to know a lot about the Prince Consort?"
The man regretted it as soon as he finished speaking.
The eldest princess has an arrogant personality and loves Prince Consort Lu the most. If the people in the eldest princess's mansion knew that he was saying bad things about the prince consort behind his back, he would definitely be in trouble.
Yan Qing spoke slowly, "I love listening to stories the most in my life, especially those stories about talented men and beautiful women, princesses and their husbands. I'm willing to spend a fortune for them..."
The man's heart moved.
Looking at the heavy purse in Yan Qing's hand, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly leaned in and whispered, "Miss, you like to hear stories. I happen to have one. Why don't we go to the side and tell it..."
Yan Qing looked at him and nodded.
The few of them found a relatively quiet corner, and the man patted his chest and said, "Whatever the young lady wants to hear, I will definitely tell you everything I know..."
But his eyes were fixed on the purse in Yan Qing's hand.
Yan Qing glanced at him: "Do you know who I am?"
"I know, it's Yan Er!"
Unexpectedly, the other party immediately revealed Yan Qing's identity: "Second Miss Yan, who just divorced Master Lu and won against Lady Gongsun, is now being discussed throughout the capital. If I didn't know your identity, I wouldn't dare to say it..."
I didn't expect him to be so smart.
Yan Qing threw the purse in his hand into his, and said, "I want to hear the story of Prince Consort Lu."
"Okay~"
The man took the purse and opened it immediately. He took out a silver ingot, chewed it in his mouth, and then put it in his arms like a treasure. He imitated the storyteller and said in a long tone: "This is Prince Consort Lu, young lady, let me tell you in detail..."
It turned out that although Lu Mingyue was born into the Fanyang Lu family, they were from a branch of the branch. Moreover, because his mother came from a brothel, the whole family was driven out of the Lu family and expelled from the clan.
Lu's father was originally a teacher, but he was expelled from the school because he married Lu Mingyue's mother. From then on, he made a living by selling calligraphy and paintings.
Lu Mingyue suffered a lot since he was a child and experienced the warmth and coldness of human nature, but fortunately he was hardworking and talented since childhood. He also had good looks. He passed the examination to become a scholar at the age of 20 and was good at painting. One day, a great scholar saw Lu Mingyue's paintings and said that he had the style of the painting saint Liu Boqi.
From then on, Lu Mingyue became famous in Fanyang.
Literati, scholars, and wealthy gentry vied with each other to obtain his paintings, to the point where they were worth a fortune!
Therefore, some people put him together with the new generation of outstanding figures from the Wang family of Langya, the Xie family of Chenjun and the Cui family of Qinghe, and called them the Four Young Masters.
They use wind, flowers, snow and moon as their nicknames respectively.
Lu Mingyue is Master Yue.
It's a pity that even though he was famous all over the world, he still couldn't get the recognition of the Lu family of Fanyang. It is said that when the eldest princess's carriage arrived in Fanyang, she happened to meet Lu Mingyue who was returning to the Lu family of Fanyang with his parents to recognize his ancestors.
"This is Lu Mingyue's fate..."
The man shook his head and sighed, "The princess's carriage passed by the Lu family's gate and happened to be caught in a heavy rain. She decided to take shelter there temporarily, but ended up running into Lu Mingyue and her group and being chased out...
It's strange to say that Lu Mingyue's father, who had always been strong-willed, suddenly died with his wife at the gate of the Lu family, right in front of the eldest princess's carriage. The eldest princess, moved by his father's love for her child, summoned Lu Mingyue to question her. Upon seeing her, she was astonished by her beauty, and thus the story of this talented man and beautiful woman came into being..."
Luzhi and Qingluan stood behind.
The two maids showed a look of sudden enlightenment after hearing this, especially Luzhi, who said with tears in her eyes, "That Fanyang Lu family is really a piece of shit. If it weren't for the princess, Master Lu might never have been able to find his ancestral home. Fortunately, he met the princess. Woo woo woo... The story of the prince consort and the princess is even more touching than what is told in the opera!"
Qing Luan also nodded: "It seems that the eldest princess and the prince consort are what the nobles often say is a match made in heaven..."
"It's just a tired plot from the opera."
Yan Qing, however, acted completely indifferent. She looked at the man with dissatisfaction, "Are you trying to trick me with a story from a play? There's nothing new about it! Give me back my money!"
Yan Qing reached out for money.
The man immediately covered his chest and stepped back: "How is this possible? Everything I said is true!"
"Qingluan, Luzhi."
As soon as Yan Qing finished speaking, Qingluan and Luzhi stepped forward and stared at each other fiercely.
Seeing the money about to fly away, the man immediately said anxiously, "Wait...wait! There's something new! It's definitely not in the play!"
"Oh?"
The man racked his brains for a long time before hesitatingly saying, "I heard, I heard that Lu Mingyue didn't like the eldest princess at first because he had a childhood sweetheart. Later, I heard that his childhood sweetheart's family died, and it was the eldest princess who helped him bury her family. That's why Mr. Lu agreed to be his son-in-law..."
Yan Qing's eyes flickered slightly.
Finally heard something useful.
Childhood sweetheart? Haha, she really looks like him...
Yan Qing was about to ask the man about the specific situation when suddenly a long knife appeared in front of her.
Qingluan and Luzhi were shocked.
Suddenly, guards from Prince Qi's palace appeared in the gambling house. The leader thrust a jade pendant into Yan Qing's hand and said in a very firm tone, "Second Miss Yan, the Prince Qi invites you."
Yan Qing looked towards the second floor with a sense of something, and happened to see King Qi Ying Zhu smiling at her gently.
A handsome young man, very polite.
Yan Qing suddenly bent down: "Ugh..."
