Chapter 642; Want to see me?

Author: Ran Xi Nian

Qiu Shuang beside her immediately understood what she meant.

Immediately, he asked the Black Cloud Hunters and Imperial Guards to go back and change into civilian clothes, then they broke into pieces and hid in the dark to accompany them.

There have been no clues about the man behind the assassins, and there is no other way.

Lu Yaoyao just wanted to pretend to be the same as before and let her people hide in the dark to see if she could attract the assassin to attack again or something.

Soon the carriage left Chengyuan Villa, and the journey was peaceful and nothing happened.

When she arrived at the Lu family, many elders of the Lu family had already arrived at the Lu family to congratulate her.

Having an official in the family is a good thing for the clan members.

Moreover, this is the first official of the Lu family in so many years, which is a great event to honor the ancestors.

When the group saw Lu Yaoyao arriving, they all stood up one after another.

They all knew in their hearts that the Lu family relied on Lu Yaoyao to be where they are today, so regardless of whether they were elders or not, they were still quite polite when facing Lu Yaoyao.

"Elders, please take a seat. Today is a family gathering, nothing else."

Hearing what she said, the elders of the Lu family felt very happy, and the smiles on their faces became even brighter.

The Lu family today is countless times better than before.

I don’t have to worry about food and drink, and my family also has family knowledge. My descendants can read and write, and they can have a good future in the future relying on the family’s blessing.

The standard of living has improved, and the younger generations also have hope. How can they be unhappy?

"Uncle, congratulations on becoming an official."

"Hahaha, Yao Yao, not to mention anything else, my uncle is where he is today all because of you."

"The father-in-law who delivered the order just now told me that you asked the emperor for this official uncle."

As soon as he said these words, the Lu clan members were startled, and then they looked at Lu Yaoyao with more and more eager eyes.

Darling, can you now directly ask the emperor for an official position?

And he gave it back, doesn't that mean that if she wants to, she can still ask for another one in the future?

Even though this time it was just an idle official position of a Yuanwailang, it was not an official position, and he was still from the sixth rank. When they came to Jiangdong, they had to treat a seventh-rank county magistrate with the same respect as an uncle.

Even the people in the yamen of the ninth rank did not dare to offend in the slightest.

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao smiled, shook his head and said, "I just mentioned it casually, but I didn't expect His Majesty to actually give it to you."

After saying that, she turned to look at her second uncle, Lu Kang, and said with a smile, "Second uncle, I will get one for you next time, so don't worry this time."

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay, can you just ask for this or that? Your Majesty is already a great favor to our family. You don't want to mess around."

Seeing that his eldest brother was appointed an official today, Lu Kang was lying in his heart if he said he was not envious, but he was just envious, not jealous at all.

After all, his eldest brother is the eldest son of Lu, and the future head of this family will also be the future patriarch of the Lu family. It is very appropriate to have such an official position.

But it’s Lu’s facade.

Now that he heard Lu Yaoyao say this, he was even more happy. Regardless of whether he could get the official title or not, her words meant that she still remembered him as her second uncle in her heart, which was enough.

"Yes, Yaoyao, your majesty has given our family enough, you can't mess around."

Mr. Lu also spoke quickly.

You must know that the Lu family has been promoted from a common merchant to an earl family, and now they have been awarded officials. They have given the Lu family a lot.

Many families like them have to work hard for several generations just to fight for one of these identities, but they may not succeed.

Wasn't he from the Lu family back then?

If Lu Yaoyao hadn't been born, the Lu family would have had to fight for at least one or two generations to get an official position.

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao smiled and nodded, but she thought in her heart that whether it was Mr. Lu's earlship or Lu Xiu's position of Yuanwailang, she had earned it with her merits, not for nothing.

Her title has come to an end, and she still has a lot of merit accumulated. It's not impossible to give some of it to the Lu family.

However, now that Lu Xiu has just obtained the official position, it will take some time to slow down. If he continues to reward him like this, there may be some remarks in the court.

The abundance of flowers is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing and can easily arouse people's jealousy.

"Yao Yao, the Chinese New Year is almost here, and spring will start soon. Do you want to start preparing for your move?"

"Well, there's no need to worry about this. It's not peaceful in the south right now, and the envoys from Northern Chu have just arrived. It's hard to say what it will be like in the future."

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

"Yaoyao, can we reconcile with Beichu this time?"

Lu Xiu asked.

Others are also very curious, and to be honest, they still hope for reconciliation in their hearts.

After all, they are just ordinary people. What they hope most is peace in the world and do not like war. The reconciliation between Dongzhou and Beichu can deter Southern Xinjiang and avoid war. This is peace.

"This still depends on Beichu's sincerity. If it happens again like the last time, I'm afraid there will be no discussion."

Lu Yaoyao didn't have a good sense of the people of Beichu, mainly because her impression last time was too bad. Although the monarch of Beichu gave him an attitude this time, she didn't think that Beichu could really keep a low profile.

Sure enough, over in the capital, Emperor Hongwen summoned the Northern Chu envoys at the Jinluan Palace.

Because now Southern Xinjiang is about to make moves, Emperor Hongwen also hopes to deal with the affairs of Northern Chu as soon as possible, hoping to deter Southern Xinjiang.

So it didn't delay like last time.

Seeing the envoy from Beichu, the envoy now expressed his sincerity for reconciliation in a friendly manner, but he still made demands.

After hearing their request, Emperor Hongwen thought for a moment and then asked Wang De to go outside the city.

That's right, the Prime Minister of Northern Chu's request is to meet Lu Yaoyao, the princess of Wanfu Princess, and to apologize for the attitude of Princess Chu Zhiyi of Northern Chu last time.

The entire Lu family was celebrating when suddenly the concierge came to report that someone from the palace was here and wanted to see Princess Wanfu.

As soon as everyone heard that someone was coming from the palace, they all got up and walked out.

"Eunuch Wang De? Why are you here?"

Lu Yaoyao was quite surprised when he saw the visitor.

Mr. Lu next to him was also surprised when he heard her address. This was the eunuch beside the emperor.

"Eunuch Wang De is here in great honour. If you are not welcomed from afar, I would like to invite you to the room for a glass of water and wine."

Mr. Lu extended the invitation very politely.

However, Wang De had official duties, so he smiled and cupped his hands with Mr. Lu and said, "Old Count, you're welcome. Our family still has official duties, so I won't bother you."

After saying that, he looked at Lu Yaoyao and continued: "Princess, the envoy from Northern Chu wants to see you, and the emperor asked this old slave to invite you into the palace."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao raised his eyebrows slightly, but without asking any more questions, he nodded, turned around, said goodbye to Mr. Lu and others, and left with Wang De.

"What did the Northern Chu envoy do when he saw Yao Yao? Could it be that he wanted to cause trouble for her because of what happened last time?"
