Chapter 186 This New Year Party is Finally Not Boring
This voice from the heart made Cai break out in a cold sweat.
How could she forget that this damn girl dared to say anything in her heart when she was angry.
When has the Sun family ever thought about the throne!
How dare they do such a heinous thing!
Lu Xinran flipped through the booklet several times and found out that this Cai was just a big talker who could only pretend to be tough. In fact, she knew nothing about how Sun Linyuan arranged things in the court, who he had won over, and what kind of situation their Sun family was in now!
[You know nothing, you are such a waste! ]
She closed the booklet with disdain, and planned to find an opportunity to expose Sun Linyuan after the annual celebration ceremony began.
As both are ministers of the second rank, the positions of the Lu and Sun families should not be far apart!
Hearing these thoughts, Cai's heart was completely confused.
She just couldn't hold it back and couldn't extricate herself from the grief of her daughter's tragic death!
If she could hold it in and prevent that damn girl from focusing her attention on her, would everything be fine?
The more Cai thought about it, the more she regretted it. But the empress dowager could not wait any longer. She did not care whether there were other officials and their families who were late for the palace. She stood up and waited for the empress to support her before walking straight out.
At this moment, all the family members inside and outside the Yongshou Palace who could hear the empress dowager's voice followed the empress dowager and walked briskly towards the Fengtian Palace Square.
After attending so many annual meetings, this year...it’s finally not boring!
Cai was weakly supported by her daughter-in-law, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law followed the crowd with staggering steps, all of them were anxious.
"Mother, if she were to reveal father's arrangements in public in the square, I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to survive in the capital in the future."
The eldest daughter-in-law was anxious, but she was still rational: "Mother, let someone pass a message to father and ask him to claim illness and not attend this year's ceremony. What do you think?"
Even if this offends the emperor, it is better than having all the secrets of the Sun family revealed by Lu Xinran in the square.
Cai came back to her senses and responded excitedly, "Yes, that's what should be done. Go quickly and find a palace maid to bring the news to the master."
In the long palace corridor, the Queen supported the Queen Mother and walked in front.
Pei and the Lu family followed behind them. Zhang Shui'er had already squeezed out of the crowd and moved closer to Lu Xinlan.
"Why did you enter the palace so early? Fortunately, we arrived in time, otherwise we would not be able to join in the fun."
On the other side, Tang Wanrou, who also came out from the crowd, nodded seriously in agreement.
"How about we go out of town for an outing after the New Year?"
"What? Did you forget that you're going to get married after the New Year?"
Hearing the noise, Lu Xinran came over, and seeing Tang Wanrou looking embarrassed, he made another malicious joke.
When someone mentioned the wedding date, Tang Wanrou's pretty cheeks blushed.
"I, how could I forget? I just wanted to have more opportunities to go out with you guys."
She had been embroidering her wedding dress at home all this time, and since she was about to get married, she couldn't go out and run around like Zhang Shui'er.
I can only wait until I get married and find an opportunity to go out with Zhang Shuier.
Afraid that Lu Xinran would tease her again, she blushed after saying this and ran to the other side of Lu Xinran.
Zhang Shui'er moved to her side and said, "Don't bully my good sister-in-law, or my eldest brother will be distressed."
"Hey, what nonsense are you talking about!"
The Queen Mother listened to the laughter coming from behind her, turned her head and smiled and sighed with the Queen: "In the blink of an eye, Xinji is going to get married. Time flies."
"Yes, he is getting married."
The queen thought about the news coming from home during this period and was happy for her brother and sister-in-law.
"After Xinji gets married, it's time for Shui'er, right? Have your brother and sister-in-law found a suitable youngster?"
The queen couldn't help but sigh when talking about this. If that bad thing hadn't happened, Zixian would have been a good-natured and kind-hearted child. After he returned to the Gu family, the elders in his family all had very good tempers.
His parents died early and he has no parents-in-law around, and it is said that he is still fond of Shui'er. What a good marriage this is.
Unfortunately, the two children had a shallow relationship.
She lowered her voice and briefly told the Queen Mother about Qiu's original plan.
When the Queen Mother heard that the candidate previously favored was Gu Zixuan, she couldn't help but sigh.
"It's true that these two children are not destined to be together, but Shui'er is a good girl and will definitely find a good family."
As the Queen Mother spoke, her eyes caught sight of Zhao who was following behind Pei.
The eldest grandson of the Lu family hasn't proposed marriage yet, right?
Zhang Shui'er and Lu Xinlan are close, so it would be a good match for her to marry into the Lu family.
The queen followed her gaze and immediately retracted it the moment it touched Zhao.
She really couldn't tell the Queen about Qiu's plan. The eldest grandson of the Lu family... Lu Xinran made them backup plans!
If I still can't find a suitable family after a few months, I will consider Lu Yuanheng.
The palace maid who was stuffed with silver by the eldest daughter-in-law of the Sun family looked at the long line in the palace corridor, especially the empress dowager and the queen who were walking in the front, and swallowed nervously.
Even if she had a hundred courage, she would not dare to run past these two masters to the Fengtian Temple Square.
The silver was a little hot in his hands, and he struggled for a long time before finally returning the purse.
The people in the Minister of War's Mansion have always been difficult to deal with. He dare not take the money and not do the job. If he offends that family, he will definitely have a hard time even in the palace.
In the Fengtian Hall, a young eunuch ran in quickly, whispered a few words into Eunuch Fu's ear, and then left in a hurry.
Eunuch Fu hurriedly came close to the emperor and whispered a few words. The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly. How dare that old villain Sun Linyuan also think about his daughter-in-law?
After he drove Song Junhe to Suzhou, he never touched the Sun family in order to save him the last bit of dignity.
Since Sun Linyuan doesn't even want the last bit of dignity, then he will fulfill his wish.
"Go, have someone keep a close eye on Sun Linyuan, and don't let the palace servants from Yongshou Palace get close to him."
Eunuch Fu immediately responded and went out to make arrangements. The emperor looked through the window at the courtiers and their families in the square, and he also felt anticipation in his heart.
This year's celebration ceremony is finally not boring!
Sun Linyuan always felt that someone was watching his every move, but when he looked around, he couldn't find anything unusual.
His right eyelid suddenly began to tremble violently, making it impossible for him to open his eyes.
He rubbed it again and again until it finally felt a little better. He opened his eyes and saw Lu Jinchuan coming over and immediately went over to him.
"Lord Lu, what do you think about the matter I told you before?"
Although Lu Jinchuan felt it was a pity, in order not to build a grave in Lu Xinran's heart and let it grow one-meter-high weeds, he replied with a forced smile.
"The marriages of the younger generations in the family are all arranged by their mother and the wife. It is not my place to interfere. If Lord Sun is sincere, why not let Madam go and meet the wife in person?"
Sun Linyuan: “…”
Isn't it because you know that Pei's company won't work, so you try to tempt him with benefits?
It’s really useless!
