"What the princess said is right! I was a deviant when I was young, otherwise I wouldn't have followed my husband on the battlefield. At that time, there were many voices questioning me, but I didn't care. I thought at that time, there was Hua Mulan in ancient times I joined the army for my father, and Mu Guiying took command for her husband, how could I not go to this battlefield?" Mrs. Lu said with emotion.
"The old lady is a hero among women, one of the few in the world, and she is also someone I admire."
Wei Ruo's words were not just superficial words to compliment the old lady, her admiration for the old lady Lu came from her. From the heart.
In ancient times, there were only a few women who could fight. The only one alive today is Mrs. Lu. It is rare for her to be able to go to the battlefield, let alone make real achievements.
Mrs. Lu smiled and shook her head and said, "I am old and no longer useful. On the contrary, Princess Rui, you have many things that I admire." "Why did the old
lady say this?" Wei Ruo asked.
"I have heard that you helped Princess Jingmin and His Royal Highness Prince Jing in Taizhou Mansion to do a lot of things that benefited the country and the people." Mrs. Lu said.
"What I have done is nothing compared to you, Madam."
"There is nothing incomparable. Whether it is going into battle to kill the enemy or clearing up wasteland and providing disaster relief, it is all for the people. There is no distinction between what is more important than what is more important." Mrs. Lu said.
Wei Ruo smiled lightly, feeling quite touched in his heart.
###
King Yu Chu Heng is currently in the front yard.
Next to him is the charming Qi Zhen.
"The second young lady of the Wei family is right behind. Do you want to find a chance to meet her later to see if she is as beautiful as I told you?" Qi Zhen said in a relaxed tone.
"I'm not interested in beauties. For people like you and me, what kind of beauties can't be found? She's just a girl from a declining uncle's family. If she hadn't been born with a good birth date, my mother-in-law thought it would be helpful to choose her. I, even if it is your recommendation, I am not willing to let her take the position of concubine."
"My lord, you really don't understand amorous feelings."
"I really don't understand amorous feelings. I want to meet Mr. Lu alone more than Wei Qingwan." Chu Heng said.
Everyone knows that Mr. Lu has a profound influence in the military. Although he does not have a military symbol on his body, he himself is a military symbol. With his support, it will be extremely helpful for him to sit on the throne.
It's a pity that although Mrs. Lu is celebrating his birthday today, he himself doesn't come to the front yard to meet with everyone. The other men of the Lu family are responsible for entertaining guests.
He was expected to show up briefly later to greet the guests, but everyone was there at that time, and Chu Heng couldn't talk to him.
"Mr. Lu is not that easy to see. He is smart and knows that everyone is eager for his support now, so he simply hides away from people. You can't see him, and neither can King Jing." Qi Zhen said.
"Chu Lan and Lu Yuhong have always had a good relationship. Who knows if he will use this relationship to secretly have sex with Mr. Lu?" Chu Heng asked.
"Everyone in the capital knows about Lu Yuhong's temper. What he does will never represent Mr. Lu."
While the two were talking, one of Chu Heng's followers came over and whispered a few words in Chu Heng's ear.
"Seriously?" Chu Heng's eyes were slightly stern.
The attendant nodded.
"I understand, please step back first."
After the entourage stepped back, Qi Zhen asked, "What's wrong?"
"Just now in the backyard of the Lu family, Mrs. Lu thanked Princess Rui for saving the Lu family's life in front of everyone. ."
"Princess Rui still has such a connection with the Lu family?" Qi Zhen couldn't help but feel a little curious. "I just said that when I was supposed to choose a sister, I chose a useless sister. I don't know if the so-called numerology theory is really useful." Chu Heng was a little annoyed.
Then Chu Heng asked Qi Zhen: "Did you ever hear about her sisters from the second lady of the Wei family when you met her?"
"I did hear something. She said that her sister was very jealous because she had been recuperating in the countryside when she was young. After she came back, she was a little resentful towards her. She said that she also wanted to make it up to her sister, but her sister didn't Accept it, make things difficult for her at every turn, and let her suffer some bullying from her sister in the house. It's just a dispute between women in the backyard, and I'm not interested in it. I'll just say some comforting words." Qi Zhen replied.
"I'm not interested in things in the backyard. I just want to know if she can help King Rui. She can't be my help, and I don't want her to help others and become my resistance." "She married Rui
. Wang Chuyi is not Chu Lan, so you don’t have to worry too much that Chu Yi won’t live long. No matter how talented the eldest lady of the Wei family is, she is just a woman, and she can’t make any money without the head of the family.” Qi Zhen asserted.
Chu Heng snorted softly: "It's a pity. If she became my concubine, and she can bring me some help, I will definitely pamper her." ### Wei Ruo
and
Mrs. Lu listened to the play , a maid came to Mrs. Lu and reported a few words in a low voice.
Mrs. Lu's expression changed slightly: "This child is really acting up!"
"What's wrong with the old lady?" Wei Ruo asked.
"It's Hong'er, who actually had an archery competition with the guests who arrived today." Mrs. Lu's tone was filled with helplessness and doting.
It was said that Mrs. Lu asked Wei Ruodao: "Is Princess Rui interested in archery?"
Wei Ruo saw the old lady in high spirits and looked very interested.
Wei Ruo smiled slightly and thought to herself, this was not asking her if she wanted to see it, it was clearly the old lady who wanted to see it herself.
Yes, this old lady was a very popular figure back then. She probably preferred riding and shooting competitions to listening to operas, right?
Wei Ruo took advantage of the situation and said, "I don't understand very well, but I'm interested in taking a look." "
In that case, please ask Princess Rui to follow me to the front yard."
"It's all up to the old lady's arrangement."
"Well, I've just heard this song. Why don't we all go to the school field to watch the group of monkeys compete in archery." Mrs. Lu said.
Mrs. Lu had already spoken, so everyone had no objection and stood up one after another and moved their positions.
On the school field, Lu Yuhong was competing with several young men from aristocratic families of similar age.
Mrs. Lu and a group of female relatives came to the attic next to the school grounds.
Above the attic, the windows on all four sides can be removed, so sitting at this moment you can have a panoramic view of the school grounds.
Wei Qingwan's position was still at the back, and he could not clearly see the situation on the school field from two rows away.
Just now in the theater, the stage was high and the seats in the auditorium were spread out. You could see clearly even if you were sitting in the back row. But now everyone is sitting together and sitting in the back, so you can't see clearly what's in front.
This made Wei Qingwan, who felt that she had been neglected just now, feel even more uncomfortable.
On the other hand, Wei Ruo has always been beside Mrs. Lu, occupying the best position.
