Chapter 5
Lu Mingyu looked at Lu Minghua with a cautious face, and did a rare reflection of herself: "Third sister, am I too aggressive and domineering on weekdays, so you are all afraid of me?"
There are six siblings in the Lu family, only Lu Mingyu is Lu Lin's biological daughter. The rest are the adopted sons and daughters of Lu Lin.
Lu Lin is very good to all his children.
The brothers and sisters were grateful for the kindness of their adoptive father, and they were extra tolerant when it came to Lu Mingyu.
More importantly, Lu Mingyu is born with divine power and is unparalleled in martial arts. The three brothers and sisters together are not her opponents. If you don't run now, will you wait to get beaten?
Lu Minghua cleared her throat and comforted euphemistically: "Nothing, don't think about it. The sixth brother probably has a real stomach ache, and he didn't mean to run."
Also, the girl's face is her best part, and she really can't have bruises on her face.
Lu Mingyu was dumbfounded for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "Well, I think too much."
Lu Minghua took Lu Mingyu's hand and smiled affectionately: "It's almost noon, I will go to the kitchen to prepare meals, and the four of us will have lunch together."
There are only four siblings left in the house. Lu Mingyue and Lu Xuan are still young, and usually, the four siblings ate together.
Lu Mingyu responded with a smile, holding Lu Minghua's hand with her backhand: "Third sister, let's talk first."
Lu Minghua pursed her lips and smiled.
Anyway, doing anything is much better than practicing swordsmanship with the fourth sister.
The two sisters are quite close to each other in age. At this time hand in hand, occasionally whispering.
"Fourth younger sister, it's been half a year since Dad led the troops out to fight." Lu Minghua sighed softly: "Second brother went on an expedition with Dad, and I don't know when he will be back."
Yes, she hasn't seen her father and second brother for a long time.
Emperor Yongjia often led his troops on expeditions. The generals of the Great Wei Dynasty were brave and good at fighting, and they were not afraid of death.
In the twelfth year of Yongjia, the state of Yan and Chu fell together, and the Great Wei finally ruled the world.
That year was also extremely painful and heroic for Great Wei. The first prince and the second prince both died on the battlefield. Lu Lin, known as the Great Wei God of War, was shot by a poisoned arrow.
Emperor Yongjia was very saddened by the successive deaths of his beloved sons. So, after returning with a great victory, he took the opportunity to appoint a crown prince.
Li Hao was also seriously injured. Relying on the good foundation of youth, he survived the disaster. Later, Li Hao was appointed as the crown prince and became the emperor when his father died. He suffered from old injuries and died young after sitting on the Dragon Chair for only three years.
Calculating the time, there are still four years for all that to happen.
In this life, with her, everything will be rewritten.
It has nothing to do with the princes who die and who live and who become the crown prince. For her, the most important thing is to protect the safety of her family.
Lu Mingyu's eyes flashed with determination, she turned her head and said to Lu Minghua, "Third sister, don't worry, within a month, father and second brother will be back."
Lu Minghua was startled: "Why are you so sure?"
The matter of war is really hard to say. As short as three or five months, as long as one or two years without returning, and there are also some who never return.
Lu Mingyu said solemnly: "The third sister likes to read, and she has always wanted to marry a scholar. Dad has to come back in time for the announcement of the Spring Festival and choose a good husband for the third sister."
Lu Minghua: "…"
A red cloud flew up on Lu Minghua's pretty face, and she shyly pinched Lu Mingyu.
Lu Mingyu "hiss": "Third sister, my arm is about to be broken by you."
The Lu family’s siblings have practiced martial arts since childhood. Lu Minghua likes to read and has little interest in martial arts. However, you have to practice riding and shooting for an hour every day. One or two strong men are not opponents to any of the sisters.
Lu Minghua blushed at the joke and got back at her with a smile: "With my little strength, at most I can beat a sheep to death, how can I break your arm."
The sisters looked at each other and laughed together.
Lu Mingyu said casually, "Third sister, what kind of husband do you like?"
Lu Minghua didn't feel too embarrassed, her blush faded, and she said in a low voice, "Since you asked, I won't hide it from you. I have liked reading and painting since I was a child. In the future, I want to marry a good person with similar interests."
"He doesn't have to be talented, and he doesn't have to come from a reputed or rich family, as long as he has a good character and treats me well, that's all."
That's what she said, but, with the family of the Xingyang Palace, Lu Minghua would never marry an ordinary scholar. In the previous life, it was Lu Lin who picked Zhou Li.
Lu Mingyu had already made plans in her mind, and said with deep meaning: "Third sister, rest assured, our father will definitely choose a husband who is good for you."
Lu Minghua pursed her lips and smiled, shyness and hope appeared in her eyes that were as moving as autumn water.
Which girl is not cherishing spring, which girl is not affectionate?
Lu Minghua said softly, "Fourth sister, what happened to you and His Royal Highness the Third Prince?"
Hearing the taboo name of the dog man, Lu Mingyu had no smile at all, her face was slightly cold: "Third sister, I don't want to talk about this person."
Lu Minghua was startled again.
This time, she clearly saw the coldness in Lu Mingyu's eyes. Lu Mingyu was not joking, she really wanted to draw a clear line with the third prince.
Lu Minghua quickly turned around and said softly, "Okay, you hate him, I won't mention him in the future." After a while, she said, "I will take care of you for the palace banquet in two days."
In this world, only the prince is barely enough a match for her fourth sister.
Lu Mingyu saw Lu Minghua's intentions and didn't say much, just nodded slightly.
She will never go into troubled waters again, nor will she marry any prince.
However, she must go to the palace banquet in two days.
…
The clip-clop of hooves sounded outside the palace gate.
The servant who was guarding the palace gate took a look, hurriedly opened the palace gate, and saluted respectfully: "The servant has seen His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
The handsome young man in black clothes got off his horse with a gloomy expression and strode through the palace gate. More than a dozen personal guards behind him, well-trained, dismounted and followed.
Galloping in the cold wind all the way did not quench the anger in his heart.
That indescribable flame burned in his chest, and his internal organs were almost scorched.
A palace maid with a fair complexion and a pretty face had been waiting at the palace gate for a long time. At this time, she hurried forward and saluted, "Reporting to Your Highness, this servant has something to report."
Li Hao paused and glanced at the maid coldly: "What's the matter?"
The arrogance in the words makes people feel chilled in their hearts.
The palace maid Zitan shuddered, and quickly lowered her head: "Niangniang Su had a nightmare last night, she kept crying about the pain in her chest, saying that someone pierced her chest with a sword."
"The Imperial Physician came to see her and prescribed the decoction to calm the mind. Niangniang Su drank the decoction and barely fell asleep. When she woke up an hour ago, Niangniang Su kept crying and screaming."
"His Royal Highness is not in the palace, so the slave had no choice but to go to find His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince. I never thought that Su Niangniang fainted when she saw His Highness the Fifth Prince..."
Li Hao's heart sank, and he didn't have time to listen anymore, so he immediately started walking towards Yihua Palace.
As soon as he entered the bedroom, the fifth prince, Li Chang, greeted him with red eyes.
