Phoenix Hairpin

Chapter 83

Lu Mingyu also had a nice father-and-daughter dinner together and went to the study to talk.

"...Xiaoyu, you didn't see what happened today." Lu Lin's brows were bright and complacent: "When I got red eyes and a tear, I immediately shocked the emperor."

"The Emperor has personally promised that in the future when you marry into the royal family, no one will dare to bully you and treat you harshly. If the Emperor supports you, even the Empress cannot easily make things difficult for you."

Lu Mingyu was touched by her father's reaction and found the situation a bit funny: "Dad, you really cried!"

"Of course." Lu Lin raised his thick eyebrows: "The Emperor is wise and martial, so he is not so easy to fool. It can be said that I tried my best today to make the Emperor feel soft-hearted."

Looking at her proud father, Lu Mingyu felt sour in her heart: "Father, this daughter of yours is really unfilial, I always make you worry."

Lu Lin was not happy: "My daughter is smart, sensible, and filial. No one is allowed to say that she is bad, not even you."

Lu Mingyu was amused and burst into laughter.

Lin Lin also smiled when he saw his daughter smiling like a flower: "Right, getting married is a happy event, so you should be happy. Block soldiers with commanders, block floods with dirt; there is no problem that can't be solved."

Lu Mingyu felt warm in her heart and said softly, "Father is right."

There was no real predicament in this world.

She ended up like that in her previous life because she gave all her heart to that dog man, Li Hao. In a relationship, the one with deep affection was always the one who was most vulnerable.

As long as she was not moved, she can be invincible.

Even if there were many thorns and bumps in the road ahead, she can go on safely.

…

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.

On the sixth day of the fifth lunar month, it was the hairpin ceremony of Fourth Miss Lu, the daughter of King Xingyang. There was a cloud of guests who came to the Lu Mansion to watch the ceremony, and almost half of the capital's officials and their family members came.

Lu Mingfang led Lu Minghua and Lu Mingyue to greet the guests, so busy that her feet did not touch the ground.

Lu Xuan, the youngest, was also entrusted with the important task today and greeted the guests with his brother and brothers-in-law.

That's right, Zhou Li, Lu Minghua's fiance, was also here today. Together with Zheng Zhong and Lu Fei, they warmly greeted the guests.

Although Zhou Li was born into a poor family, he was the new Tanhua Lang, and now he was engaged to the righteous daughter of King Xingyang. The civil officials and military generals who came to Lu Mansion to congratulate them were also polite to the attentive Zhou Li.

Lu Xuan quietly approached Lu Fei and whispered: "Second brother, the future Third brother-in-law is really working hard today. If you don't know, I'm afraid that everyone will think he is the son of the Lu family!"

In this short half-day, he had spoken to almost all the guests. Of course, the dignified Tanhua Lang had an excellent appearance and demeanor, and even if he was in the camp, his posture was not ugly.

Lu Fei patted Lu Xuan's head, and said with a low laugh, "Don't talk nonsense."

Lu Xuan whispered: "I'm telling the truth, what's the nonsense."

Lu Fei sighed secretly.

Zhou Li was somewhat ambitious and snobbish, it really made people a little uncomfortable.

But the third sister, Lu Minghua, gave all her heart to Zhou Li, and the wedding date has been set. Seeing Lu Minghua's face, let's bear with it for a while!

On the side of the female dependents, it was even more lively.

Mrs. Guangping Hou and Mrs. Puyang Hou came early, as well as the female family members from Qiao’s residence and the female family members from Jin Shangshu’s residence.

Lu Mingyu was the protagonist who was not allowed to come out today. Everyone went to Lu Mingyu's boudoir first and praised the beautiful and heroic Fourth Miss Lu.

Lu Mingyu was most impatient when dealing with people on such an occasion, but she had to endure it today. Showing a proper smile, she listened to the noise of the crowd.

"I have long heard that Fourth Miss Lu is beautiful, but when I see her today, she is indeed a beauty."

"Isn't it? Look at Miss Lu Si, she is both elegant and dignified..."

Puff!

Someone sneered and laughed inappropriately.

Lu Mingyu glanced behind her calmly.

That's right, Jin Can'er was the only one who laughed out loud on such occasions.

The friction between Jin Caner and Lu Mingyu was not a matter of one or two days.

After Jin Erlang was beaten up by Lu Mingyu last year, Jin Can'er could not see eye to eye when she met Lu Mingyue. She thought it could be fun to add blockage to Lu Mingyu.

Unfortunately, most of them were self-defeating.

"Jin Can'er, what are you laughing at?" Lu Mingyu has never been a person to swallow an insult and avenge it later. She always avenged the wrongs on the spot: "Do you think Mrs. Puyang Hou is wrong?"

Mrs. Puyang Hou's eyes were suddenly a little unkind, and she looked at Jin Can'er.

Mrs. Guangping Hou and other noble ladies also looked over.

Although Lu Mingyu was quite a distance from "elegant and dignified". However, today everyone came to the Lu Mansion to watch the ceremony, and it was appropriate to say something nice.

This Jin Caner was too rude.

Jin Can'er was snarky but she had no courage. When everyone's attention was on her, her face suddenly turned red: "Lu Mingyu, don't spit your blood. When did I make fun of Mrs. Puyang Hou? I was laughing at you, rude and unkind. Relying on your own skills, you always bully others. How elegant and dignified are you?"

Lu Mingyu wasn't annoyed at all, after all, what Jin Can'er said was the truth.

Shen Lan and Zhao Yu on the side couldn't listen anymore.

Shen Lan was Lu Mingyu's boudoir close friend and future second sister-in-law, and Zhao Yu was Lu Mingyu's specially invited admirer. Jin Can'er made a rude remark, it was Lu Mingyu's hairpin ceremony after all, and she couldn't open her mouth to push her back like usual.

Shen Lan and Zhao Yu had no such scruples.

"Sister Jin," Shen Lan's voice was soft and slow: "Today is Xiaoyu's hairpin ceremony. Even if there is something unhappy in your heart, you should endure it."

Zhao Yu spoke more directly: "Jin Can'er, if you don't want to stay here, go back earlier. There are so many people today, there won't be a problem if you are not here."

Jin Can'er: "..."

Meng Yunluo, who was sitting on the side, hurriedly tugged at Jin Can'er's sleeve and whispered to comfort the shy and angry Jin Can'er: "What they said is not without reason. Today is Fourth Miss Lu's hairpin ceremony. Keep this for another day."

The sound was not too loud, just enough to be heard by most of the people in the room.

Jin Can'er's face turned red and white, she wanted to get up and leave, but her friend Meng Yunluo grabbed her sleeve tightly, so she turned her head to the side angrily.

Qiao Wan coughed lightly and smiled a few rounds.

Today, Qiao Wan was wearing simple and elegant spring clothes, dignified and self-controlled, very similar to Queen Qiao's temperament.

At this moment, the maid came to report: "Miss Qiqi, Princess Hui'an has come down."

What?

Princess Hui'an actually came? !

Everyone was shocked and looked at each other quickly.

Princess Hui'an was the eldest daughter of the Empress. Generally, there are some contacts in Princess Hui'an's eyes, but only a few.

Why did Princess Hui'an come to Lu Mansion to watch the ceremony today? I've never heard of any friendship between Princess Hui'an and the Lu family!

In front of everyone, Lu Mingyu stood up, and her eyes flashed slightly: "Sister Shen, Sister Zhao, join me to greet Her Royal Highness Princess Hui'an."
