The morning after King An left the palace, Lu Yunhong and Wang Xiu were invited into the palace again, but this time there were also many princes and ministers.
For example, King Cheng and the emperor's other two sons, King Ning and King Ping.
They probably knew that there was no hope of succeeding to the throne, and they also wanted to gain favor in front of the prince. Prince Ning and Prince Ping rushed to do all the trivial matters in the palace. This also freed up a lot of time for the prince, and he was no longer busy all the time.
.
As they say, when father and son go into battle, brothers fight tigers, which attracts the admiration of all the ministers.
Wang Xiu also saw Princess Yanyang, who came with Princess Cheng. The mother and daughter were very similar, with round faces, big eyes, and very kind and friendly smiles.
The eldest princess quietly asked Wang Xiu, how is Princess Yanyang doing?
Wang Xiu looked at the innocent little girl, nodded and said, "Very good."
The eldest princess snorted: "Then Ji Yunwei will take advantage of her."
Wang Xiu glanced at Princess Cheng protecting her cub, thinking that Ji Yunwei would probably be kicked and beaten when she proposed marriage, so she hurriedly said: "Shh, don't talk about it yet."
The eldest princess chuckled and said, "You are more cautious."
Wang Xiudao: "After all, you are the princess, and not everyone can afford it."
The eldest princess said proudly: "That is."
Wang Xiu looked at the ministers discussing matters in the distance, then at the female relatives nearby, and sighed helplessly.
In fact, everyone knew very well that Emperor Shunyuan's time was running out.
They are here to accompany him now, but they are just waiting for the last decree. After all, it is a crucial event.
But after a while, Wang Xiu saw Li Defu and Lu Yunhong coming with a team of people, counting many of the emperor's personal collections, and loading them into the carriage.
The eldest princess also stood up and asked, "What are you doing?"
Lu Yunhong said: "According to the emperor's order, pack these into boxes and send them to the eldest princess's mansion!"
The eldest princess suddenly became anxious and said quickly: "Why send it here? No need, my eldest princess's house lacks everything!"
Lu Yunhong said: "Your Highness, this is the emperor's will."
The eldest princess said: "I'm going to find my father!"
Li Defu stopped him for a moment and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, please don't bother the Emperor. He and His Highness the Crown Prince discussed these things. I asked the old slave to write the list himself, and they are all to be given to His Highness the Eldest Princess."
"Some...are still the relics of the late Queen."
The eldest princess was suddenly stunned. How could she refuse a relic from her mother?
But in this case, these things will soon become the relics of the father?
This means that she will also lose her father!
At this moment, the eldest princess couldn't help crying anymore.
Wang Xiu stepped forward and half hugged her, patted her back gently and said: "Your Highness, you can cry if you want. It will make you feel better if you cry."
Princess Cheng sighed, looked at her daughter with tears flashing down her face, and gently touched her little head.
Princess Yanyang moved closer to her arms and whispered: "Concubine, I'm so sad!"
Princess Cheng said: "None of us can escape birth, old age, illness and death. But don't be sad, you still have your mother with you!"
Princess Yanyang nodded and hugged Princess Cheng tighter.
All the old ministers saw it, and everyone knew that it was sunset, and the emperor also knew that the end was approaching, so he divided his private property in advance.
This is good, in case the emperor dies in the future, and they are worried that the prince and the eldest princess will have differences because of the emperor's relics, and it will be difficult for them to intervene when the time comes.
However, there are so many princes and ministers here, including King Cheng. Why did the emperor choose Lu Yunhong to be escorted to the eldest princess's mansion?
Is the emperor telling them in disguise that Lu Yunhong will be the retainer of His Royal Highness the Princess?
But Lu Yunhong was born as the number one scholar in the official imperial examination, shouldn't he?
Or does the emperor think that since Wang Xiu and the eldest princess are on good terms, Lu Yunhong should also be biased towards the eldest princess?
While everyone was confused, the prince stepped forward and said to Lu Yunhong: "Father, there are also several pots of fine peonies and orchids in the palace, which have been cultivated for many years. They will be loaded into the car later."
"In addition, the carps that were raised in the eldest sister's palace are now so fat and big that they can't even be covered by the lotus leaves when they are in full bloom. I asked someone to net them and put them in a tank, and then sent them along with them."
"Eldest sister has always liked these things. Usually when I invite ladies to watch a play or drink tea, I have to have something pleasing to the eye. If I think of something again later, you still have to keep running. There are a lot of things lately and there are few lonely brothers.
You have to work harder."
Lu Yunhong even said he didn't dare, but he quickly complied.
The ministers were stunned and looked in a trance.
I thought to myself, how could this mean that the emperor valued Lu Yunhong? It was clearly that the prince valued Lu Yunhong?
Look at that attitude, it's just like being a brother-in-law, and he looks like one of his own family.
The ministers swallowed their saliva, thinking that the Taifu would be the next one to step in...
call……
The matter was too big and they didn't dare to think too deeply about it. However, the look they looked at Lu Yunhong showed some respect that could not be offended.
At the same time, King Lian Cheng also began to look at Lu Yunhong with admiration. He felt that it was rare for him to survive until now and still gain the trust of the prince.
However, no one knew that when Lu Yunhong and Li Defu delivered the things to the eldest princess' mansion together.
Li Defu dismissed the guards, sat at the door of the warehouse of the eldest princess's palace and said to Lu Yunhong: "The emperor ordered you to send it out in the hope that one day the will will be published and someone will believe what you say."
"But... I really don't want to see that day!"
Lu Yunhong looked at the melancholy Li Defu and said honestly: "You can't see me!"
Li Defu turned around and looked over...
Lu Yunhong said seriously: "Weren't you already dead by that time?"
Li Defu: "..."
After thinking for a long time, Li Defu didn't know how to reply?
When they returned to the palace, when he saw the eldest princess gradually smiling under Wang Xiu's comfort, he couldn't help but shout: "Master Lu!"
Lu Yunhong looked over with confusion and saw Li Defu smiling and saying in a strange tone: "It's incredible that a person like you can marry such a good wife as Mrs. Lu!"
