Lu Zhi followed the young servant up the stairs, and was already panting slightly when she reached the end.

Finally, she found the door to the most luxurious box on the top floor.

The young servant knocked on the door respectfully and carefully and went in to report.

Lu Zhi took the opportunity to tidy up her clothes and calm her pounding heart.

The young servant quickly came out of the box and guided Lu Zhi forward.

"When you go in later, don't look up and stare at the noble man. Follow me."

"Okay, thank you, sir."

Passing the doorman and through the exquisite screen, Lu Zhi lowered her head and walked into the box that was decorated more magnificently than her own living room.

As the servant leading the way in front of her paused, she quickly stopped and knelt on the ground.

"I, the humble servant Lü Zhi, pay my respects to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be well and safe."

Ying Zheng: "Stand up and answer."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

Lu Zhi carefully got up from the ground, stood side by side with her brother, and waited with bated breath for the nobleman's questions.

Soon, a majestic male voice sounded in the room: "Are you Lü Zhi? Look up."

Lu Zhi raised her chin slightly, her eyes always fixed on the ground in front of her, and she did not dare to look up.

At this moment, a clear and sweet female voice was heard again from the front.

"Father, she is so beautiful. Let her follow me."

"Haha..." The majestic man chuckled, and then said indulgently, "You, don't make trouble. Since you like me, I will stay by your side and serve you."

"Hehe, thank you, father."

As soon as she finished speaking, a young girl in her prime, wearing a gorgeous purple robe, with her hair piled high and emerald and pearl-adorned, walked lightly in front of her.

The girl tilted her head and moved closer to her, her eyes full of curiosity, and hidden beneath that curiosity was a hint of pity.

Pity?

Lu Zhi almost thought she was crazy and had seen it wrong.

It can be curiosity, inquiry, or even contempt, but how can it be pity?

"Do you want to follow me? Manage the business?"

The girl spoke again, "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I am the Third Princess, the Protector of the Nation."

Lu Zhi's eyes lit up and she was about to reply, but was interrupted by the other party.

"Don't rush to reply. You'll be very busy following me. I'll also have to patrol various parts of Daqin. I definitely won't have time to take care of my family. I'll give you a day to think it over and reply tomorrow."

Lü Zhi quickly knelt and saluted, "Thank you for your support, Master Imperial Master. I will consider this carefully."

Su Jinyue turned back to Ying Zheng and obediently poured tea for her good father.

Seeing that she had nothing else to do, Ying Zheng ordered in a deep voice, "Give her the bounty of golden cakes and fine wine. Everyone, go away."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave!"

Lu Zhi followed her brother and turned to walk out of the box.

The moment she turned around, she saw out of the corner of her eye the princes and princesses standing or sitting in the room, and also saw the powerful ruler who controlled the world.

The magnificent scene of bells ringing and food feasting that exploded in that instant lingered in her eyes for a long time, and did not disappear until she returned to the compartment.

"How is it, Shizhi and Zhi'er, seeing His Majesty? What did you say?"

When Lu Gong and others saw them, they had already come out to greet them.

Lu Shizhi's face was full of smiles. "Yes, my sister has won the favor of the Grand Master, who wants to keep her by his side to serve."

"Really? Great!"

Lu Gong clapped his hands vigorously, happily pulled the two men back to the compartment, and asked them in detail.

Lu Ze and Lu Shang also followed behind the few people with happy expressions on their faces.

Lu Ze even called the waiter to bring a few more plates of delicious snacks.

Everyone took their seats one by one, ate the fragrant snacks, and listened to Lu Shizhi's story with a smile.

Lu Zhi picked up a piece of rice cake and ate it slowly, but her eyes were fixed on the teacup beside her, in a daze.

"Pheasant, pheasant?"

Lu Gong's loud shout interrupted her thoughts.

"Father, I'm here."

Lu Gong's face was filled with anxiety. "Tell me what you think. This is a great opportunity. Many people want to get close to the Imperial Master but can't find the way. Didn't you see that Shang Jia? He gave up most of his family property to become Xiaoyao's disciple..."

Lu Zhi's eyes moved as she looked at her grandfather, then she stood up from her seat and spoke in an earnest voice.

"Father, I want to cancel my engagement with Liu Ji."

Her expression was extremely serious, and she looked at her grandfather with burning eyes.

Lu Shizhi had already thought of this, and he immediately stood up and pleaded, "Father, please agree to marry my sister. Liu Ji is really not a good match."

Lu Madam: "Yes, Father, I agree with you."

Lu Gong frowned and looked at his children in silence.

Lu Ze took a deep breath and stood up. "Father, I know you can't bear to part with that person's face and want to take a gamble. But now that my sister has stepped onto the ladder of floating clouds, why should we give up the present for the pursuit of an illusory future?"

He looked at his father who was still hesitating and decided to take drastic measures.

"Furthermore, since the Imperial Master mentioned Wuxia's concern for the family, he must have a hidden agenda. Father, you can't have your cake and eat it too."

Hearing his eldest son's words, Lu Gong clenched his hands tightly and thought to himself: Yes, the state teacher is very powerful. He mentioned it specifically, so there must be some obstacles that they don't know about.

"Okay! Then I'll go back to Pei County with Zhi'er and give some money to the Liu family. Just ask for your leave."

"Great!"

As soon as Lü Zhi's smile spread, Lü Shang cheered out, "That's great, sister. When you come home, we can still live together."

Lu Zhi touched A Mei's arm and looked at her father and brother with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, father, thank you, brother."

In the back hall of a small restaurant in Pei County.

Liu Ji hugged Cao and leaned on the couch.

Cao pounded Liu Ji's chest lightly with her hand and said with a smirk, "You old scoundrel, you only dare to come looking for me when the Lu family is not around."

She broke free from the other man's grasp and sighed slightly in sorrow, "It's a pity for my fat boy. Until now, he's only known as a bastard. When will he be born into the Tigress's family?"

Liu Ji took the person into his arms and said, "Don't worry, my beauty. Fatty should eat and drink well now. After some time, we can ask the Lu family to send a teacher to teach him. Even if he is an illegitimate child, he will have great potential in the future."

"That's business."

Upon hearing this, Cao stopped struggling and became entangled with Liu Ji.

They were making love, but they didn't know that the Lu family was about to break up with them, and they would no longer be able to wait for the Master.

Jin Wu couldn't help the night, and Yu Lei Mo urged.

Baiyujing is still bustling with activity.

Su Jinyue, who had never stayed up all night during the Chinese New Year before, was unusually sleepless today.

Good Daddy has returned to the palace with his concubines, ready to start his plan to have a son.

When the Master's concubines left, they also took with them several of Yang Zi's younger children.

Only Fusu's older princes and princesses stayed in Baiyujing to play cards and have fun.

"I want to ride the wind back home, but I am afraid of the jade buildings!"

“It’s lonely up there!”

Su Jinyue is drunk again!

She staggered along the corridor, holding a wine glass and singing.

"Great!!! Master Imperial Master, your writing is so talented!"

"The tune is beautiful! The Imperial Master is truly talented!"

When the young talents who had not yet left Baiyujing heard the commotion, they all went out to watch.
