Chapter 535
The lady laughed, "Yes, none of us have any more on our heads than the one on her head."
Miss Lu was shocked, turned around and looked at the door again, only to see that Du Bangchun's had already entered the mansion, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This little Zhou family is so rich?"
The lady nodded and said: "The Zhou family is not to mention that they are in Qingzhou Mansion, and they are also famous wealthy businessmen in the capital, so ah, Miss Lu, don't talk about their identities again."
"Although your Lu family has been an official for three generations, but if you count it up, who is not from the cold window?" said
the lady, and walked towards the mansion with her head slightly raised, her eyes full of contempt for Miss Lu.
When Miss Lu saw it in her eyes, she suddenly felt ashamed, gritted her teeth and lowered her head, and entered the mansion angrily.
The rest of the ladies had just gotten off the carriage and didn't stay long to go to the Lu family together.
In addition to some officials and female dependents, there is also Concubine Liniang from the harem.
Concubine Li has been the most favored recently, and the emperor can't get out of her illness these days, so naturally she comes.
She sat in the pavilion where the Lu family placed her daughters, and when she saw Du Bangchun coming, she immediately got up.
Du Bangchun saluted her, "I've seen Concubine Li."
Concubine Li gradually calmed down, sat down and asked the palace maid on the side to pour her a cup of tea.
Du Bangchun sat aside.
There are a lot of ladies in the house today, and Mrs. Lu is busy entertaining them, so she let her second daughter entertain Concubine Li here.
The second daughter is a timid and fearful person, but she is honest and responsible, although she is a little restrained when she sees Concubine Li, but she is very safe in doing things.
After she saw Du Bangchun sit down, she hurriedly brought a plate of pastries and put it in front of her, "Mrs. Zhou has worked the road, come and taste the special soft fragrant cake in our house." She
spoke in a small voice, but very slowly, and every word she spit out was full and right, and it was very comfortable to listen to.
Du Qianchun got up, saluted her back, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Miss Lu." "
There are not many people in the pavilion, except for some palace maids who serve closely, there are only three of them.
The male guests of the Lu Mansion were all in the front yard, and under the hospitality of Master Lu and Master Lu, Zhou Ruiyuan and Lord Zheng happened to sit at a table, and no one dared to treat him rudely with Lord Zheng in his presence.
I thought it was just an ordinary birthday banquet, but who knew that the emperor who was supposed to be lying in the palace came.
The emperor hurried back to the capital, but he was afraid that Zhou Ruiyuan and Zhou Feng would also follow the example of Aunt Zhou and run away, so the first thing he did after arriving in the capital was to ask where the two of them went.
Knowing that Zhou Ruiyuan was attending a birthday banquet in Lufu, he immediately changed his clothes and rushed over.
In the backyard, Du Bangchun had just chatted with Concubine Li for a few words, and then heard the maid come to report, "Concubine Li, the emperor is here." "
Your Majesty?" Concubine Li was shocked, "Isn't the emperor sick?"
The maid lowered her head and said, "The slave doesn't know, the lady just told the slave and maid to let the slave and maid inform the maid and let the maid move to the front hall."
Concubine Li hurriedly got up, "Take me there."
Du Bangchun hurriedly followed behind her, "Niangniang, I'll go with you."
When the two of them came to the front hall, they saw that the emperor was sending congratulatory gifts to Lord Lu, "I have been getting worse these days, but as soon as I thought of Lord Lu's birthday, I immediately got up and came here to congratulate Lord Lu on his birthday."
Lord Lu was flattered, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Thank you for the emperor's love." The
emperor helped him up and said, "It just so happens that the court and the Chinese and the Chinese are here today, and I have something to tell you." The
crowd was shocked and looked at him.
The expressions of Du Bangchun and Zhou Ruiyuan gradually froze, could it be that the emperor really knew their backgrounds.
Just when they were puzzled, the emperor raised his voice and said, "I have been seriously ill in the palace these days, and my secret guard has found the whereabouts of the queen mother and the crown prince for me. The
officials below were in an uproar.
Some people are happy and some are worried.
Master Zheng also couldn't help but look at Zhou Ruiyuan beside him.
Zhou Ruiyuan looked at the emperor with an indifferent expression, and his hands were clenched into fists without knowing anything.
When the three brothers were just deposed, they still fantasized every day that their father could let them go and trust them once.
But what they waited for was to be beaten, to be distributed, to be assassinated, to be poisoned.
If he hadn't met Du Bangchun later, he would still be a paralyzed person now.
They have long lost their dependence and expectation on this father, and only a strong hatred remains.
The emperor set his eyes on Zhou Ruiyuan, and there was more kindness in his tired eyes, he looked at him and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the capital now, and in three days, I will take him to recognize his ancestors and return to the East Palace!"
