Chapter 51;
Prepare for a rainy day
"The eldest princess?"
Mr. Lu was startled, then nodded quickly.
"It would be great if we could find her as a backer, but it's not easy."
It's really not easy.
The eldest princess and the current emperor are biological siblings from the same mother.
And it’s a very unusual sister-sister relationship.
Their mother-in-law died in childbirth when the eldest princess was twelve years old.
She begged the late emperor to let her take care of her younger brother. The late emperor loved this eldest daughter very much.
He didn't refuse, and even arranged for many nuns to help.
In short, today's child was raised by his elder sister, the eldest princess, so the relationship is naturally extremely deep.
The emperor has always respected this eldest sister as his "mother".
If they could find the eldest princess as their backer, then no one in the entire Dongzhou Kingdom would dare to take a chance on them.
It is even said that the emperor will protect them.
"It's not easy, but you have to try, right?"
Although the Lu family has the right prime minister as a backer, can the right prime minister really protect the Lu family?
She's not sure.
After the fall of the Xu family, Gao Yanming and the Gao family are afraid that they will not let go of the Lu family.
Therefore, she must find a way out for the Lu family before it breaks out.
The first is to find another patron. The eldest princess is very good, with very big golden thighs.
The second is to find a way to take advantage of this hairpin ceremony to persuade my grandfather and my eldest uncle and his second uncle to allow the direct lineage of the Lu family to come to the capital for development.
The Jiangdong side is some distance away from the capital, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away. If you really put your mind to it, it would be too easy to cause something to happen.
If you come to Beijing, the situation will be much better.
First of all, she can call back all the people she has hidden, so that if something happens, she won't be beyond reach.
Secondly, even if she failed to win over the eldest princess, Gao Yanming would restrain herself a lot since she had her rightful minister watching over her in the capital and under the emperor's nose.
"Yaoyao, I know you really want the Lu family to be safe."
"But such a noble existence as the eldest princess is not something that people like us can reach. Please don't act recklessly."
Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao smiled and nodded: "Second uncle, don't worry, I'm not a reckless person."
The eldest princess is indeed unattainable, and it is definitely impossible to have a relationship with her.
But if enough benefits are given, she thinks it should still have some attraction.
Who doesn’t love the former?
Although the eldest princess has a noble status and is not short of money, there is no harm in giving it a try.
And she doesn't need the eldest princess to actually help her with anything. She just borrows her name and can get a lot of income. Maybe it will work.
"You kid, why do you have time to come to my house today?"
In the eldest princess's house, the eldest princess, who was nearly fifty years old, looked at the smiling and saluting young man in front of her with a gentle smile on her eyebrows.
"No, the emperor's birthday is tomorrow, and I will come over to see if there is anything I can help you with."
This young man is none other than His Highness the King of Jin.
"The majestic King Jin has such a noble status. Those trivial matters can be left to the servants. If you go, you will only cause trouble."
Regarding this youngest brother, the eldest princess did not alienate him just because he was not born from the same mother.
On the contrary, she still loves this little royal brother very much.
Although she had obtained the qualification to raise her biological brother at the beginning, a girl without a mother and concubine was in the harem, a place where people can eat people without spitting out their bones.
You can imagine how life went, and during this period, King Jin's mother and concubine helped their siblings many times.
The eldest princess has always been remembered in her heart, so the relationship between her siblings and Prince Jin has been relatively close since they were young.
When Jinshang ascended the throne, why did he kill so many brothers and leave only King Jin?
People outside said that the emperor was worried about causing the notoriety of slaughtering his brothers.
In fact, the most important reason is that the eldest princess came forward to protect King Jin, and at the same time, she also told King Jin privately that if he wanted to survive, he could only be an idle king in this life.
With the eldest princess acting as a "mother" as a guarantor, and the King of Jin having been the idle king all these years, he was naturally happy to give the eldest sister this face.
While talking, the eldest princess waved to King Jin to come over and sit down beside him.
"You are now old enough and it's time to get married. Do you have a girl you like?"
King Jin shook his head helplessly.
In recent years, as the emperor's sister has grown older, she has become more and more like an old mother.
Not only was he worried about his own child's marriage, he was also worried about his younger brother's marriage.
"Sister Huang, isn't it good for me to be like this? I don't want to find a princess."
"You bastard, how can you not find the princess?"
The eldest princess' face was stern, but it only softened in an instant.
"Why don't I go talk to the emperor another day and ask him to point you to a beautiful one?"
Hearing this, King Jin's face was smiling, but deep down his lips were puckered.
Of course, this is not directed at the imperial sister in front of me, but at the emperor.
As his imperial brother, he has secured his position in recent years, and his temper and suspicions have also increased a lot.
Not only were they on guard against him like a thief, but they would also call him into the palace every once in a while to give him a verbal beating.
If he really wanted to get married, why wait until now?
Not talking about marriage, there is no suitable candidate at first. After all, it is not just a matter of finding someone to match him as a prince.
You must have a certain status, but in the capital, who has status but doesn’t have some power?
Pointing it out to him, in the emperor's opinion, was adding resistance to him.
"Sister Huang, please don't worry about this. I know it well."
"Actually, I came here today because I have something I want to ask Sister Huang for help with."
The first half of his words made the eldest princess feel helpless and apologetic.
She is someone who has fought hard in the palace and assisted her younger brother in ascending to a powerful position. Her brains are definitely sufficient.
Does she know what the emperor's attitude is towards Prince Jin now?
I have said it many times, but the emperor today is different from before. After being in a high position for a long time, some things will naturally change.
"Why are you so polite to me? Just say that as long as I can help, I will not refuse."
She is very satisfied with her younger brother, Prince Jin.
When she protected him and made him a prince, she was actually worried.
But she also doesn't want to see their brothers turn against each other and fight to the death. After all, among their generation, the three of them have the deepest relationship.
Fortunately, King Jin was very sensible over the years and did not make things difficult for her.
However, in the past two years, the changes in the emperor made her feel satisfied that King Jin was sensible, but also full of guilt.
"Some time ago, I told you that I met an interesting girl on the outskirts of the city and she was the eldest prince's benefactor. Do you still remember it?"
"Remember, why don't you remember?"
"This is the first time that you have said that a certain girl is interesting in front of me."
The eldest princess smiled teasingly.
