Film and TV: Traveling through countless worlds at the same time

Do you know the world?

After exiting the soul space, Lu Xiao couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Looks like I really need to hurry up. I've been feeling a bit lazy lately."

Ever since he resolved the conflict between the two kings, Lu Xiao suddenly became free.

When his colleagues in the court met him on a daily basis, they all had kind and benevolent expressions.

When speaking, he is generally cautious.

Even if Lu Xiao farted, they would say it smelled good.

On weekdays, when I went to work at the Hanlin Academy, even when my immediate superior was handling something, I would ask for his opinion from time to time.

And as long as he dares to say it, the other party will definitely accept it.

All of a sudden everyone around me has become a good person. To be honest, I'm a little uncomfortable with this.

But this is also something that can't be helped.

Who said Lu Xiao is now the most popular person around Zhao Zhen?

And this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that he single-handedly quelled the rebellion of the two kings, which was seen by many people.

People have long worshipped him as a god.

Even many officials in the imperial court were like this.

Even though some officials didn't believe in ghosts and gods, they knew that someone like Lu Xiao couldn't be dealt with by force.

Therefore, anyone with a normal mind would not think of making enemies with Lu Xiao.

If this happened to any other minister, the emperor would probably be wary.

But Zhao Zhen's trust in Lu Xiao only grew stronger.

This was partly due to Zhao Zhen's personality, and partly due to Lu Xiao's own "affinity."

Of course, having said all this, it doesn't mean that Lu Xiao really doesn't have to do anything recently.

There are still some things happening.

For example, coaxing children.

For example, to comfort your wife.

Don't get me wrong, it's not your child.

Although Shulan was pregnant, the baby was still several months away from being born.

He was coaxing Zhao Zhen's child.

That is the prince who was born just three months ago.

As soon as the child was born, Zhao Zhen immediately designated him as the crown prince.

At the same time, he also asked his son to take Lu Xiao as his teacher.

Moreover, Zhao Zhen used the excuse of fostering affection to frequently allow Lu Xiao to enter the palace to take care of the children.

Therefore, before Lu Xiao's own son was even born, he became the "father" of someone else's son.

In fact, Lu Xiao understood everything.

The reason why Zhao Zhen did this was because he was frightened by the premature death of his previous sons.

That's why he wanted to be "omnipotent" and Lu Xiao often came to the palace.

It is human nature to attach importance to children when one is old.

As for coaxing wives, that means coaxing both wives, big and small.

Shulan's situation was easy to handle. Ever since she became pregnant, most of her attention had been focused on the baby in her belly, so coaxing her wasn't difficult at all.

Minglan's situation is not that easy to handle.

Lu Xiao always wanted to help Minglan fulfill a wish before marrying her.

But that matter was very difficult to handle, and it really took up a lot of his energy.

Well, today, finally, some good news came. Lu Xiao came to the Sheng family early in the morning.

Planning to give Sheng Xiaoliu a surprise...

Chapter 379: Wenjinghou Mansion

"Brother-in-law, why are you here?"

In the backyard of the Sheng Mansion, Minglan ran over in surprise when she saw Lu Xiao.

Calculating the time, the two hadn't seen each other for several days.

In this era, even if a man and a woman are engaged, it is not advisable for them to see each other too much before the wedding.

Otherwise people will definitely gossip about you.

Lu Xiao himself didn't care, but he had to consider Minglan.

Minglan is a person of this era, and her thoughts and character are always constrained by this era.

Reputation is more important to them than life itself.

So, even though Lu Xiao always came to the Sheng family in a swaggering manner, his excuse to the outside world was always to visit his uncle.

His situation is considered good, at least this excuse can be used repeatedly.

If it were someone else, it would be rare to see him once a month, let alone several days.

Lu Xiao smiled and said, "I missed you, so I came here naturally."

"Zero one three" is a very common phrase in later generations, but when it appears here, it makes Minglan blush.

In this era, the love between men and women is still too subtle after all.

Then Lu Xiao said directly, "Come on, I'll take you out for a walk today. I've prepared a surprise for you."

Minglan immediately asked, "Walk around? Go for an outing?"

Lu Xiao said, "No, you'll know when you get there."

"oh."

Although she was very curious about the surprise Lu Xiao mentioned, the sensible Minglan still didn't ask anything in the end, and directly followed Lu Xiao out with Xiao Tao.

Even Sheng Quan said nothing about this situation, let alone the other members of the Sheng family.

Minglan is now in the Sheng family, and no one dares to offend her.

Ever since the Twin Princes' Rebellion ended, Concubine Liu has been inviting Shulan and Minglan to the palace to chat every now and then.

Although Concubine Liu's current status in the palace is not the title of Empress, she is the Empress in reality.

There was nothing that could be done about it, since she gave birth to the emperor's only son.

Since ancient times, mother and child.

Moreover, Concubine Liu is much younger than the current queen.

Given Zhao Zhen's current physical condition, the current queen will most likely die before him.

By then, it would be a foregone conclusion that Concubine Liu would ascend to the throne of Queen.

Many people could predict this.

Therefore, the honors that Concubine Liu currently receives in the palace have begun to surpass those of the current Empress.

Although the Queen was certainly jealous, at this moment, even if she felt unhappy, she didn't dare to show it on the surface.

Of course, there was a reason for Lu Xiao's existence.

Back then, when Concubine Liu Guifei first met Lu Xiao while she was pregnant, she knew Zhao Zhen had an unusual amount of trust in her.

However, Lu Xiao was a man after all, so although she wanted to win him over, she didn't dare to do so openly.

If any rumors were to get out, it would be disastrous.

Therefore, she turned her attention to Minglan and Shulan.

From a long time ago, they were often invited to the palace.

Don't tell me, this method really works.

Although Concubine Liu's actions were motivated by profit, they were not malicious.

She is also a very smart person. When she is with Minglan and Shulan, she never plays tricks and only acts sincerely.

As a result, after a year, she really became the best friend of Minglan and Shulan.

Whenever the two Lans mentioned Concubine Liu, their eyebrows danced with joy.

This also led to Lu Xiao's favorability towards Concubine Liu far exceeding that of the current queen.

Therefore, no matter who in the palace wanted to target Concubine Liu, they had to take Lu Xiao's attitude into consideration.

After all, many people saw Lu Xiao single-handedly slaughter the entire palace rebel army that day.

Only a fool would offend a killer like him whose fighting power is so high that it can break through the sky.

As the best friend of Concubine Liu, Lianglan's current status among the many women of the official families in Bianjing City is naturally unmatched.

After leaving Sheng Mansion, Lu Xiao took Minglan to the carriage.

Soon the carriage passed through the streets and alleys and stopped in front of a very grand garden.

There are four large characters written on the plaque at the entrance of the garden.

"Marquis Wenjing's Mansion!"

That's right, this is the new house that Zhao Zhen gave Lu Xiao after he was conferred the title of Marquis.

This new house is approximately 250 meters long from north to south and 180 meters wide from east to west, covering an area of ​​over 40,000 square meters, with an overall rectangular layout.

The entire house is divided into two parts: the mansion and the garden, with the mansion located in the south and the garden in the north.

Gardens of this scale are rare in Bianjing.

Many state-owned enterprises are not so large.

I don't know how many people are jealous of me privately.

But also. II Lu suspected that (eight) 锍 is only limited to secretly complaining.

Now, officials in the court had the guts to pull at Zhao Zhen's clothes and cry, wiping their snot and tears on the dragon robe.

But he definitely didn't dare to say a single word in front of Lu Xiao.

Because he really can kill people.

The prince killed two without hesitation.

Not to mention ordinary officials.

Especially after the officials learned that Zhao Zhenzhi's seal was from the eighth generation, and that the fact that he was able to give birth to a son at this age was also due to Lu Xiao's contribution.

It is even clearer that Lu Xiao will have a bright future.

If Lu Xiao were a military commander, perhaps all the civil officials in the court would unite to target him.

But the problem is that he was born as a Jinshi, and he was also a top scholar in the imperial examination.

The mark of being a civil servant had long been firmly etched on him.

No matter how high his martial arts skills are, this cannot be changed.

His literary talent was no match for Lu Xiao, nor was his martial prowess a match. Furthermore, the difference in his favor with the emperor was even greater. Therefore, when the officials saw him, they naturally lost their confidence.

Therefore, if the Lu family exceeded the regulations a little, it really wouldn't be a big deal.

After getting off the carriage, Minglan finally asked curiously.

"Brother-in-law, didn't you say you had a surprise for me? Why did you bring me here? Is this the new house His Majesty gave you?"

Although the house has been in my hands for some time.

But after you get it, you can’t live in it directly.

In recent months, the Ministry of Industry has been renovating this place according to Lu Xiao's requirements.
