Chapter 551 Looking for trouble
Lu Xin became very famous for helping the Emperor investigate and prosecute several criminals. She had long wanted to get back the face that Shan Yu had lost at the Qianqiu Banquet.
This time, when she heard that a companion was to be chosen for the eldest princess, she became interested.
She was the eldest princess's tutor before, and she understood her thoughts best. She believed that no one could be more qualified than her.
At nightfall, she prepared wine and food, and was ready to have a good talk with her husband so that she could also enter the palace to run for election.
After spending some time together, Lu Xin has gained a certain understanding of this lady.
There must be some ulterior motive behind going to so much trouble to invite him to dinner.
Thinking of Shan Li, who had a better relationship with the Emperor, and Princess Anguo, who was more popular than her husband, he suppressed his impatience and reluctantly sat down at the table.
"My dear husband, you have worked hard. These are the wine and food I prepared specially for you. Do you like them?" Shan Yu is actually very good at pleasing others. But this pleasing must be done willingly by herself.
"Madam, you have worked hard. Just let the servants do these things. You married me to enjoy life, not to do these chores." Lu Xin was a staunch royalist. As the emperor's power grew, his power grew.
The greater the power, the greater the benefits, whether overt or covert.
Things are much better in the mansion now. As his wife, I don't have to do everything myself.
"It's not hard to do these for my husband." Shan Yu served him food while observing his expression.
Seeing that he looked okay, Shan Yu began to test him, "I heard that the Queen has sent invitations to the wives of officials in the capital? Does your husband know about this?"
Lu Xin nodded, "Of course I know."
"Then why is there no post in our house?"
Lu Xin put down his chopsticks, looked at Shan Yu, and said after a while, "The Queen sent the invitation to select a companion for the eldest princess. We don't have any suitable unmarried girls in our mansion, so why did she send the invitation to our mansion?"
"Madam, you should have some self-knowledge. If you really have some free time, I see there is still an empty space in the backyard of our house. You might as well think about it and do something to decorate it. Planting flowers and trees is good. If you don't like either, you can also have someone dig a lotus pond, plant some lotus roots and raise fish."
After saying these words, Lu Xin stood up and continued, "I just remembered that there are still some things I haven't finished in the government office. Today's work will be done today. I will go back to the government office first. You can eat slowly."
Only after Lu Xin’s figure disappeared from sight did Shan Yu slam the table in anger!
She had just started to move, but was pushed back directly, neither hard nor soft.
Is she destined to live like this for the rest of her life? !
Is she destined to never be able to surpass that woman in her life? !
It really pissed her off.
Although Shan Yu was angry, she had no post and her husband was unwilling to help her, so she could not enter the palace.
I can only secretly curse those who were able to go in my heart, as they all had a bad ending.
Because it was an invitation from the Queen Mother, it was not convenient for the unmarried girls to go alone, so all the families sent an important elder to accompany them.
On the Song family side, it was naturally Song Qingci’s mother Zheng who went with the third daughter Song Qinghe and the fourth daughter Song Qingping.
As for the General's Mansion, Lou went with Shan Xi.
