Phoenix Hairpin

Chapter 76

Lu Mingyu was originally calm and relaxed and was in a good mood, but when she saw two familiar faces, her expression froze, and her smile disappeared.

Li Hao stared closely at Lu Mingyu, his voice a little hoarse: "Xiaoyu, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Lu Mingyu looked cold: "Don't call me Xiaoyu."

A voice sounded at the same time: "Don't call her Xiaoyu."

The eyes of everyone looked at the Second Prince together, and their expressions were subtle.

Li Hao's heart was surging, the familiar anger surged in his chest, and his voice was slightly cold: "I have known Xiaoyu for two years and have always called her that. Even if she doesn't like me calling her like that, it's not my second brother's turn to point fingers."

The Second Prince raised his eyebrows and smiled, and replied leisurely: "If you have this qualification, you don't have to say it. You can ask Fourth Miss Lu."

The profound meaning revealed in the short two sentences made Li Hao's complexion suddenly change.

Li Hao suddenly turned his head and looked at Lu Mingyu.

Lu Mingyu did not look at him but stared at the Second Prince.

He was quite docile that day and promised that he will never appear in front of her again before the ceremony. Another "coincidence" today. This was relying on her guilty conscience, and he was approaching step by step.

Don't look at the personable and beautiful face, he was actually black-bellied, sinister, vicious and cunning!

The Second Prince seemed to have never seen the anger in Lu Mingyu's eyes, and smiled at her: "I came to Zhao's residence today, and I didn't expect to meet Fourth Miss Lu here again."

Lu Mingyu sneered and clenched her right fist.

If he dares to talk too much, she must beat someone up!

The Second Prince immediately shut his mouth honestly.

This scene, like a sharp wooden thorn, penetrated deeply into Li Hao's eyes.

When did Lu Mingyu become so familiar with the Second Prince?

It was not unusual for Lu Mingyu to beat people with fists. But the strange thing was, she was obviously already annoyed, but she could still resist the urge to beat someone. Such a preferential treatment used to be his...

The eyes of the Fourth Prince wandered to and fro, watching the play with relish.

For the past two months, the Second Prince and the Third Prince have been as incompatible as ice and fire. Every time they meet, they are tense. The fact that Emperor Yongjia was in charge, so they didn't make a fuss and tear their faces apart.

However, the discord between the two brothers was well-known in the palace.

He heard Concubine Qin talk about it privately once, probably for marriage. He already had many guesses in his heart, so when he heard that the Second Prince and the Third Prince were leaving the palace together today, he followed them shamelessly.

Really saw a good show.

…

Seeing that the situation was not right, Zhao Rui hurriedly coughed and laughed: "It turns out that Fourth Miss Lu and His Royal Highness the Second Prince and His Royal Highness the Third Prince are familiar with each other, so it saves me from talking. By the way, this is His Royal Highness Fourth Prince, Fourth Miss Lu I am sure you have not met him!"

Lu Mingyu gave Zhao Rui a cool look.

Zhao Rui's scalp went numb, and his right leg which had been kicked suddenly throbbed.

The Fourth Prince didn't want to be involved in the battle and immediately said: "I have heard about Miss Lu's reputation for a long time, and this is the first time I have seen you today. Sure enough, it is even more famous to meet."

Lu Mingyu looked at the Fourth Prince whose eyes were twitching, and asked lightly, "Oh? What kind of fame had your Highness heard of me?

The Fourth Prince: "…"

He just came to see the fun. Why did the fire at the city gate still affect the fish in the pond?

The Fourth Prince smiled awkwardly: "Fourth Miss Lu misunderstood, I never meant that." 

He gave Zhao Yu a wink.

Zhao Yu put all his heart on the Fourth Prince, and without thinking, opened his mouth to help him: "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is the most gentle and good-natured, and he is also very gracious to the girls. He will definitely not make fun of it. Fourth Miss Lu, please don't misunderstand the Fourth Prince."

Lu Mingyu snorted lightly from her nose.

This scene, not to mention how embarrassing and stiff it was.

Zhao Rui secretly complained. If I had known this earlier, I really shouldn't have brought a few princes here.

It's alright now, I'm afraid it's all on his head.

Zhao Rui cleared his throat and said, "Fourth Miss Lu came to be a guest today. I'm here to say hello. It's time to go after the greeting. I'll talk to Fourth Miss Lu when I'm free some other day."

Lu Mingyu's expression was light and her voice was indifferent: "Then I won't see off Fourth Young Master Zhao and your Highnesses."

Zhao Rui resisted the urge to stretch out his hand to wipe his forehead, and smiled at the princes: "The little girls are gossiping here, we are being an inconvenience, so we should leave."

The Fourth Prince immediately picked up the conversation: "It's true, cousin, let's go."

After speaking, he pulled Zhao Rui and left.

As for the Second Prince and the Third Prince, he didn't care if they wanted to stay or not.

Zhao Rui kept muttering in his heart. He walked for a while, but he didn't hear the footsteps behind him, so he couldn't help turning back frequently.

The Fourth Prince whispered quickly: "Okay, don't look at it. That Fourth Miss Lu is born with divine power. That day in the Jiaofang Hall, she easily lifted the chair of Su Zhaorong, and Su Zhaorong was so frightened that she became slightly sick. It's a game."

Such a master can't afford to be provoked.

"She's not like other women. She's very passionate and she loves and hates equally. I saw her for the first time last year, and she looked amazing, couldn't help getting closer to her. As a result, I was kicked and flew a few meters away, and had to rest on the couch for half a month."

The Fourth Prince clicked his tongue: "It's like a living tigress!"

The second brother and the third brother have a really special preference and were really brave.

Zhao Rui caught a glimpse of the slightly wretched expression of the fourth prince, and couldn't help but sighed again: "You don't understand."

You really don't understand.

Such a beautiful girl who dares to love and hate her true temperament was both dangerous and charming. For a young man, it was almost fatally attractive.

He really doesn't deserve her. As long as there was a slight possibility, he will not obediently listen to the arrangement of the marriage at home.

The Fourth Prince heard the meaning of Zhao Rui's words and looked disapproving: "There are many beautiful women in the world, and there are not just a few famous ladies in the capital. Why must it be her! If it was me, I would rather marry someone who is stupid and easy to coax to avoid making the husband weak and the house restless."

As soon as he said the words, he regretted it.

Sure enough, Zhao Rui's gaze floated over like a knife.

The Fourth Prince was a little embarrassed, and added a few words with a smile: "I just said it casually, and I never meant to insinuate anyone. Fourth cousin, don't get me wrong!"

If these words were passed into Zhao Yu's ears, it would be strange if she didn't become angry.

It would be even worse if the Marquis of Puyang or the Empress Dowager Zhao knew.

On this side, the fourth prince bowed his hands to curry favor with Zhao Rui.

On the other side, the Second Prince and his brother Li Hao were unwilling to move. As if their feet were stuck, it was more like a silent rivalry.

Lu Mingyu's suppressed anger began to surge up again.

Zhao Yu's eyes drifted back and forth and then fell on Lu Mingyu's face, with a thoughtful expression.

Why does it look like two dogs fighting over a meaty bone?
