Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 837: The belly is already very pregnant

Lu Yi's fingers flew, and he tied a delicate buckle. He raised his eyes and asked, "Princess, what can I do?"

The flock of wild geese gradually moved away and became more and more blurry. Lu Mingyu withdrew his gaze, his beautiful eyes moved, and ordered: "Let the news go out and say that I have obtained a few new books by Yang Qian."

Lu Yi asked doubtfully: "Princess, you want to sell books? But we don't..."

Lu Mingyu said: "Let the news out first, and then you will know."

The weather in Yujing City is starting to get colder as the deep winter approaches.

Prince Keqi's palace is becoming more and more lively day by day.

Miss Hihe would come every day, and each time she would directly state her intention to see her "fiancé" and leave without permission. At first, Lu Mingyu would meet her, but later only Manager Lu would be sent to deal with it.

And every time Miss Rihe came, Xie Yun would ask Baili Wuxiang to go to Shensi Pavilion, because Nangong Suisui would always beat Miss Rihe severely after she came to the house. The cruelty of his attacks was simply his. Xie couldn't bear it.

Qin Ning was also taken to the palace. After the apprenticeship ceremony, Dong Shi concentrated on studying with him.

As for Wu Ti, he stayed in the room where the earth dragon was attracted every day, eating and drinking heavily, and his body was gaining weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Miss Lingling has been recovering from her injuries for a while, and her body has recovered. She no longer climbs the beams in the palace. She spends her whole day either looking for food in the kitchen or taking care of Hui Hui and Mingzhu, who is about to give birth. .

Lu Mingyu's body has grown rapidly since she turned four months old, and now she doesn't even dare to tie her belt too tight.

On this day, the servants of Prince Qi's Mansion were very busy early in the morning. They vacated all the rooms next to the main hall, and then arranged many tables and chairs neatly.

Lu Mingyu directed everyone to arrange the arrangements. Lu Yi had just announced that Princess Zhenli was here. Before she finished speaking, Princess Zhenli ran in happily and held her arm: "Little aunt, I came here to cheer you up." , I didn’t even eat breakfast.”

It turns out that since the news was released, Prince Qi's Mansion has received many invitations one after another, all from the wives of princes and nobles. Some ordinary people have not yet taken any action.

Lu Mingyu met with several ladies, who all came to inquire about Yang Qian's new book. Lu Mingyu simply told them that Prince Qi's Mansion would hold a book party, and invited everyone to come and listen to the book together and discuss the plot.

And the day they agreed on was today.

Because there were many people visiting, Manager Lu originally wanted to set up a table in the garden, but it was too cold, so Lu Mingyu arranged the location here.

The servants had been busy setting up the table before dawn. They were almost ready now. As soon as the table was set, Manager Lu ordered the cakes and fruits to be served.

Lu Mingyu stretched out her finger and poked Princess Zhenli's forehead: "Are you really here to compliment me, not just for a meal?"

Princess Zhenli was discovered and her smile became brighter: "Aunt Chu's cooking is really good. Ever since I ate the food she cooked, I can't even eat the food cooked by the cooks in our house."

That's natural. Lu Mingyu's cooking skills were originally taught by Chu. How could Chu's skills be any worse?

Lu Mingyu clapped her hand and said, "My mother just happened to have prepared breakfast for me and Xiaoqian. Come and eat with me?"

Princess Zhenli smiled sweetly and leaned on Lu Mingyu's shoulder: "I knew my little aunt was the best to me."

Lu Mingyu raised his shoulders: "Why are you acting like a child?"

Princess Zhenli smiled and said: "I relied on this trick to trick everyone into loving me. Wasn't my little aunt deceived?"

Lu Mingyu couldn't help laughing: "I have been deceived by you for a long time."

Manager Lu came over and asked: "Princess, many ladies and ladies have come to visit one after another, you..."

Lu Mingyu said: "Invite them in first so that they can be entertained. Zhenli and I will have breakfast with Xiaoqian and then come over." The three of them ate leisurely, and the reception room was quickly filled with people.

When Lu Mingyu disappeared, everyone became a little anxious. When they asked Manager Lu, he just replied: "The princess and Princess Zhenli are having dinner and will be here soon."

No matter how anxious everyone was, they didn't dare to rush the two of them. Who didn't know that the two siblings, the emperor's uncle and the eldest princess, were the most protective of the calf.

To say that the women who could afford to offend the most in the capital were not the arrogant Queen Mother, but these two.

It is said that a noble lady gossiped about Princess Qi at a party last time, and her husband was demoted the next day. Some people also laughed at Princess Zhenli for betraying the Duke of Yue, and the house was on fire that night. Please be smart. No one dared to provoke the two aunts.

One person would have been enough, but two people
As good as a person.

Therefore, even if the ladies had any dissatisfaction, they only dared to keep it in their hearts.

But these ladies have no time to spare. Whenever they have free time, they talk about other people's affairs as gossips and jokes.

This time, it was the wife of the Minister of Punishment, Li Yuan's mother, who suffered the disaster, just because the person standing next to Mrs. Li had a high profile.

Princess Linjiang picked up her handkerchief and wiped her mouth, then laughed softly and said, "Mrs. Li, the person next to you looks familiar!"

Mrs. Liu, Taifu Liu's daughter-in-law and mother of Concubine Shu, smiled and continued: "Some time ago, I went to the palace to visit Concubine Shu, and I happened to meet Concubine De. I don't know if her family members were too unruly, which made Concubine De The empress’s face was dull, so the empress De Fei looked very haggard.”

Concubine Shu is the granddaughter of Taifu Liu.

Concubine De is Li Yuan's cousin.

Concubine Shu and Concubine De were at odds, so the two families naturally worked on their own to support their own families. Therefore, in the court, the Liu family and the Li family were vaguely in opposition.

This is true for men, not to mention some housewives who don't mind it as a big deal.

When the people around Mrs. Li heard this, they lowered their heads deeply.

Just as Mrs. Li was about to retaliate, Princess Linjiang took over the words again: "Mrs. Li was also kind-hearted and rescued people who were supposed to be official prostitutes. Although it was a bit unpleasant to do, it was still good. To do good deeds and accumulate virtue, we should learn more from Mrs. Li."

Mrs. Liu covered her mouth and chuckled, the contempt in her eyes could not be hidden: "What Princess Linjiang said is true. If I have the chance, I will definitely follow Mrs. Li's example and redeem more poor women to come back as maids, but I can't do it. If Mrs. Li goes to the extent of redeeming an official prostitute to be her daughter-in-law, I'm afraid that the ancestors of the Liu family will be so angry that they will be uneasy."

It turns out that the person standing next to Mrs. Li is Yuan Yuan, the former concubine of the Yuan family.

When Li Yuan went south to report the news to Changsun Tao and Lu Mingyu, he asked Mrs. Li to marry Yuan Yuan for him.

Master Li and Mrs. Li only had one son, Li Yuan. Although they were not satisfied with Yuan Yuan's conditions, they could not bear to let their son down, so they went to Yuan's house to propose marriage on a good day.

At that time, Duke Cheng'en had not yet rebelled, and the prince was still firmly on the throne. The Yuan family was extremely valuable, and he did not want to marry the Li family. However, because Yuan Yuan was a concubine, the marriage was settled.

After the women and children of the Yuan family were turned into official prostitutes, Mrs. Li immediately rescued Yuan Yuan and helped Yuan Yuan get rid of his lowly status.

She was worried that Yuan Yuan would be severely affected by the incident at the Yuan family, so she often took her out to relax.

Normally, no one would dare to gossip because Emperor Yuanwu valued Mr. Li, but Princess Linjiang and Mrs. Liu obviously did not need to worry about the status of the Li family.

With such a good opportunity, how could they not seize the opportunity to add insult to injury, have some fun by ridiculing him, and kill the boring waiting time?

Mrs. Liu's words were heartbreaking. No matter how well-mannered Mrs. Li was, she was so angry that her smile froze on her face, and there was a faint wave of anger rolling in her eyes.
