Chapter 131 ;
Chapter 131; I refused
After a brief shock, Wen Songtao was the first to react.
"Don't talk nonsense."
As a close minister of the emperor, he had never heard of this matter.
"Dad, my daughter-in-law is not talking nonsense. Now many people in the capital know about it."
Su Shi spoke quickly.
Seeing that she didn't seem to be making it up, Wen Songtao frowned and continued to ask, "Where did this news come from?"
"Of course it came from the palace."
"He also said that His Majesty said it himself in the imperial study two days ago when Yao Yao entered the palace."
As soon as he said this, Wen Songtao fell silent.
"Yaoyao, do you know?"
Lu Kang turned to look at Lu Yaoyao, his face full of expectation.
His Majesty personally granted marriage to the prince and his wife. This is definitely a great thing for the Lu family.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Yaoyao, who was still standing.
At this time, Lu Yaoyao was no longer in the confused state just now, but his brows were furrowed and his eyes were filled with thoughts.
There was indeed such a thing, but she had very clearly rejected it at the time.
Why is the news coming out different?
"Yaoyao girl?"
Mr. Lu shouted, but Lu Yaoyao didn't respond.
"Cousin. Cousin?"
It was Lu Mingxi who pulled her sleeves and woke her up from her thoughts.
"Ah? What's wrong with my cousin?"
Seeing this, Lu Mingxi was speechless and said softly, "Second uncle and grandfather asked you if His Majesty told you about the marriage."
"That's indeed what happened. It was in the Imperial Study Room that day."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mr. Lu, Lu Kang, Zhao and Yuan stood up in surprise.
The Wen family members present were also happy for her, except Wen Songtao, who had a slight abnormality on his face.
"You girl, why did you tell your family about such a big matter?"
"His Majesty did say that he would grant me a marriage to the second prince, but I refused at that time."
As soon as these words were spoken, it was as if the pause button was pressed, and everyone in the hall froze in their movements and smiles.
"What!"
"Rejected? How can you refuse?"
"This is such a great thing, no one else can even dream of it, you, you, you"
Mrs. Zhao was a little crazy.
"Yaoyao, you."
Yuanshi also looked regretful and shook her head.
Mr. Lu and Lu Kang's expressions changed several times. They were stunned and couldn't say a word. They sat down slumped. It was obvious that they were a little dissatisfied.
As the daughter of a merchant family, she was granted marriage by the emperor and married to the prince as his concubine. No matter who it was, it was a great thing.
Refuse, how can you refuse?
Although the two of them were dissatisfied, they did not say anything reproachful, which showed that they really loved Lu Yaoyao in their hearts.
On the Wen family side, except for Wen Songtao, everyone else looked puzzled. They didn't understand such a good thing, so why should they refuse?
Lu Yaoyao seems to be a smart girl on weekdays, so why is she so confused on this matter?
Everyone was speechless, and the hall fell into silence for a while.
"Brother, I think it's best for Yao Yao to do this."
Wen Songtao opened his mouth to break the silence.
Everyone looked at him in unison.
"Brother"
"Don't think I'm saying this to comfort you."
Not to mention, Mr. Lu's first thought was that his old friend must be comforting him, so he said this.
But when he heard it, he immediately felt that there was something he hadn't thought of.
"You guys only see the benefits in this, but you don't see the dangers in it."
"You have to be the girl Yaoyao to understand."
As he said this, Wen Songtao wanted Lu Yaoyao to give him an appreciative look.
He had always thought that Lu Yaoyao was a good girl, but today he realized that he still underestimated her.
This girl is not only smart, she also sees things very clearly.
Not to mention ordinary people, even those rich and distinguished girls in the capital, if they encounter the same thing, they will happily accept it.
It is absolutely impossible to say no.
After all, she is the prince's concubine, especially when there is no heir apparent yet, no one knows who will sit in that seat later.
If you get lucky, wouldn't it mean that you will suddenly become the most noble woman in the world?
How many women in the world can withstand such temptation?
"Father, is there anything else in here?"
As soon as Wenxuan said this, he immediately seemed to think of something, looked startled, and then looked at Lu Yaoyao.
He couldn't help but be amazed in his eyes.
As expected of Ajun's daughter, she is indeed quite smart.
"You guys should step back first."
Seeing the curious eyes of everyone, and the look of my old friend who couldn't wait to find out the specific situation.
Wen Songtao waved his hand to all the servants serving him to leave.
"Brother, you have been in Jiangdong all year round and you don't know much about things in the capital."
"But you should also know that His Majesty has not yet established a crown prince, right?"
Mr. Lu nodded repeatedly.
The establishment of a crown prince is a big deal and must be announced to the world.
"Isn't it the same whether he is established or not? Everyone knows that sooner or later the position belongs to the eldest son of the palace."
Lu Kang didn't understand why Wen Songtao suddenly mentioned this.
"You, you."
"Then let me ask you, since everyone knows it, why has His Majesty delayed in issuing an edict?"
As soon as Wen Songtao said these words, Lu Kang and others were confused.
Yes, since everyone knows it, why didn’t they issue an edict?
"What I mean is that Your Majesty wants to do something else."
"You can't say this."
Wen Songtao quickly interrupted Mr. Lu and continued, "We can't guess His Majesty's thoughts, but since he didn't stand up, the people below will have ideas in their hearts."
"Yao Yao has contributed so many good things that benefit the country and the people. Once word spreads, you all should be able to guess what will happen to the people of the world."
Everyone nodded and spread the word about the things Lu Yaoyao gave them.
Not to mention that she has won the hearts of the people all over the world, but her reputation among the people is definitely not bad.
"If that's the case, then why is it the second prince?"
Wen Songtao didn't explain it clearly, but everyone immediately figured out the key after just a moment.
It is said that the eldest prince is popular among the people, but why is this opportunity to accumulate public support not given to him, but instead given to the second prince?
It seems that His Majesty has no intention of giving the crown prince position to the eldest prince easily, or that he has no such idea at all.
That's why the second prince was appointed, because he wanted to support him and compete with the eldest prince.
"Brother, although the royal family enjoys endless wealth and splendor, it is also very cruel. It is very good that this girl Yaoyao can not be fooled by appearances at such a young age."
Mr. Lu had completely figured it out at this time.
Turning to look at Lu Yaoyao, his eyes were full of regret and relief, and of course, he was a little ashamed.
I was just stunned by the news, since I didn't expect this.
I was awakened at this moment, and when I thought about it carefully, it was indeed not a good thing to marry the second prince, not to mention whether I would have to compete with the eldest prince in the ring.
Simply speaking, if Lu Yaoyao is bullied after marriage, the Lu family may help to get her?
