Chapter 85
The girls had different thoughts, and no one spoke for a while.
Qiyun entered the room with a smile, and bowed her head in a salute: "It's getting late, the master has sent a message, please go to the main hall."
The Hairpin ceremony was about to begin, so you have to go to the main hall in advance to make some preparations.
Lu Mingyu nodded slightly and stood up.
Zhao Yu and Shen Lan stood to her left and right, accompanied by Lu Mingyu, and walked out together.
The rest of the people also got up and walked out.
Qiao Wan bit her lip, her footsteps extremely heavy.
Meng Yunluo deliberately slowed down and walked side by side with Qiao Wan, whispering in a low voice: "Sister Qiao, you and His Royal Highness the Second Prince are cousins, and have always been favored by the Empress. I always thought that the Second Prince's Consort was going to be none other than Sister Qiao."
"I never thought about it, Lu Si stepped in. Today's situation, everyone can see it. In my heart, I really feel that Sister Qiao does not deserve this..."
Qiao Wan's cheeks turned pale, her body trembled slightly, and she quickly opened her mouth to interrupt Meng Yunluo: "Sister Meng stop talking."
Meng Yunluo wanted to provoke again, but Qiao Wan had calmed down and said softly: "The Palace has not issued the imperial edict for marriage, so everything is unknown now. How can we just rely on guesswork and talk nonsense."
"Also, the Second Prince and I are just cousins and there has been no other relationship between us. The saying of the Second Prince Consort, I don't know where it came from."
"If this is the case, sister Meng should not say anything. Otherwise, once it is spread out, it will damage my boudoir's reputation, and I won't listen to it."
After finishing speaking, she quickened her pace and left Meng Yunluo behind.
Meng Yunluo: "…"
The provocation failed and she was accused righteously. Meng Yunluo felt sullen in her heart, looked at Qiao Wan's slightly stiff back, and snorted softly.
This episode, Lu Mingyu was naturally unaware.
In the previous life, the Palace bestowed a marriage between the Second Prince and Meng Yunluo and Qiao Wan did not make any waves. After crying silently a few times, she accepted the arrangement at home and agreed to the marriage arranged for her.
It's just that the infatuated Qiao Wan, after getting married, still thought about her sweetheart in her heart, and in the end, she became very depressed and ill, which is embarrassing.
…
The Hairpin ceremonies were held in the spacious main hall of the Xingyang Palace.
The guests who came to watch the ceremony were crowded inside and outside the main hall of the Xingyang Palace.
Princess Hui'an had a distinguished status and sat on the head.
Lu Lin, who was full of joy, caught a glimpse of Princess Hui'an's arrogant face out of the corner of his eyes and felt annoyed in his heart.
Today was the big day for Lu Mingyu as it was her Hairpin Ceremony. It doesn't matter if Princess Hui'an doesn't come. Since she was here at the order of Queen Qiao, she should at least act like she is happy to be here. Why was she sitting here with such a dour face?
Where was this to watch the ceremony, it's almost the same as adding a blockage to it
Humph!
If it wasn't for the fact that the other party was a princess and his daughter's future sister-in-law, he would have turned his face and scolded others.
Lu Fei saw his adoptive father's dissatisfaction in his eyes and calmly tugged at Lu Lin's sleeve, showing his father's restraint with his eyes.
Lu Lin snorted again in his heart, and soon returned to normal, and continued to talk to the crowd with a smile.
At this very moment, a distinguished guest arrived again.
The big housekeeper, the Lu family, hurried in and reported loudly, "My lord, the Second Prince came to the Lu residence in person and came to watch the ceremony."
The Second Prince actually came in person!
It seems that Fourth Miss Lu was really going to marry into the Royal family and become the Prince Consort.
Everyone quickly exchanged tacit glances. Looking at King Xingyang again, he stood up with a smile: "I'll go to greet His Highness."
Everyone followed Lu Lin to welcome the distinguished guest.
The most astonished was Princess Hui'an.
Princess Hui'an was shocked for a moment and quickly frowned.
Her dignified eldest princess came to the Lu Mansion to watch the ceremony in person, and she also sent rich rewards, which gave Lu Mingyu enough face. What was the Second Prince still rushing to do?
It's not that he can't get a wife. This attentive look really made his big sister look down on him.
Princess Hui'an will never admit that she was a little sour and unhappy.
After a while, the Second Prince entered the main hall surrounded by everyone.
The Second Prince wore a jade-blue brocade robe. With a jade crown on his head, he was graceful, with a smile on his lips, and his face was like a beautiful jade. He walked in slowly, as if bringing in the spring light in his eyes, and the main hall instantly brightened a lot.
Qiao Wan in the crowd looked at her cousin from a distance, her heart soured beyond description.
On the day she had her hairpin ceremony, her cousin did not come to Qiao's house to watch the ceremony.
Meng Yunluo looked at the Second Prince, who was as handsome as a god, her heart was bubbling with sourness, and she secretly gritted her teeth.
How could such a good marriage be robbed by Lu Mingyu?
Everyone saluted the Second Prince.
The Second Prince's voice was gentle and sweet, and he smiled slowly: "Today, I took the liberty to come to the Lu Mansion to watch the ceremony. Everyone is more casual, and there is no need to be cautious."
Then, he smiled at Princess Hui'an and said, "Sister Huang came early."
Princess Hui'an didn't move: "If I knew you were coming too, I should have waited in the Jiaofang Hall and come to Lu Mansion with you."
The Second Prince glanced at Princess Hui'an and said calmly: "I didn't expect that the Queen mother would ask the Royal sister to come. In fact, it is enough for me to come."
Princess Hui'an: "…"
What does this mean? Was it not dispising her!
Princess Hui'an was furious and glared at the Second Prince.
The Second Prince glanced over and looked at Princess Hui'an.
The Queen mother asked you to come here to give the Lu family dignity, not to let you show off your prestige.
The dissatisfaction and coldness in the eyes of the Second Prince were clearly visible.
Princess Hui'an groaned in her heart and stood up subconsciously. When she got up, she realized that everyone was looking at her. The good-natured Princess Hui'an had a hot face.
Seeing that Princess Hui'an was about to give in to her anger, the Second Prince gave her the steps just right: "I can stand, Sister Huang doesn't have to give me her seat."
This sentence was quite funny.
Everyone laughed.
The originally tense atmosphere suddenly loosened.
Princess Hui'an didn't feel angry anymore, smiled, and sneered at her younger brother: "You are thinking beautifully, who will give up the seat for you." After speaking, Princess Hui'an sat back again. However, this time, Princess Hui'an couldn't put on her arrogant face, and her expression was much kinder.
In the sound of silk and bamboo music, Mrs. Shen, who was the official host, stood in front of everyone with a smile.
The charming and delicate Zhao Yu came out first with a smile, and then the beautiful and heroic Fourth Miss Lu came slowly.
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all praised. Amid the compliments, Lu Mingyu's eyes met the eyes of the Second Prince.
Seeing the Second Prince, why was she not surprised at all?
The Second Prince's black eyes were shining, and he stared at Lu Mingyu intently.
At this moment, he only saw her in his eyes, and there was no one else.
This was to convince everyone that he was happy with her and wants to marry her as a prince consort? Although Lu Mingyu was reluctant, she could only show a slightly shy smile.
In the eyes of everyone, was it not just looking at each other with affection!
