Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 92

Chapter 92

The sound of the door opening interrupted Meng Yunluo's thoughts.
Meng Yunluo came back to her senses and called out coquettishly, "Mother!"
Guangping fūrén swallowed her thoughts, stretched her brows, held her daughter's hand, and said with a smile: "Yunluo, today our Meng family has received the imperial edict of marriage, and your life-long event has finally been decided. From now on, you can stay home in peace. Don't run around in the house again."
Meng Yunluo was a little unhappy: "Staying in the mansion every day makes me suffocated to death."
Guangping fūrén has always loved her daughter, and most of the time let her do what she wanted. But this time, she said with a straight face: "It was okay to be self-willed in the past. Now that you have been granted a marriage, you will marry into the royal family as a consort. How can you be self-willed when you have to learn the rules."
Meng Yunluo had never seen her mother with such a cold face, and felt aggrieved: "Mother!"
"This marriage is not to my liking. His Royal Highness the Third Prince is not bad, but that Su Zhaorong; she has neither talent nor family background, and will cry when things go wrong. In the palace, everyone looks down on her. The Fifth Prince is mediocre and stupid, and he relies on the Third Prince for everything. I don't want such a mother-in-law and xiǎo shū zi..."(1)
"Oh shut up!"
Guangping fūrén furrowed her brows and scolded in a deep voice: "It was enough to talk nonsense in the past, but now the imperial edict for marriage has been accepted, how can you talk about your future mother-in-law and xiǎo shū zi in vain!"
Meng Yunluo looked at her mother in disbelief: "Mother, you clearly hate Su Zhaorong the most. You used to tell me that she was wrong!"
Guangping fūrén said with a stern face: "You also know that it was in the past. Can it be the same now as before? That is your future mother-in-law, and you have to treat her with filial piety even if you don't like it. Otherwise, a reputation for being an unfilial daughter-in-law cannot be suppressed and can crush you.
"Li Hao is famous for his filial piety. When you marry him in the future, you must be one with your husband. Otherwise, sooner or later, the husband and wife will be separated."
"These words may not be pleasant to hear, but they are all true. For a man, there is only one biological mother. A wife, he can remarry, or he can leave it aside and take concubines as much as he wants. It is obvious which one is more important and which one is less. ."
"The Fifth Prince is still young, so he will only ask his elder brother for anything, but you don't need to worry too much. If you want to have a happy married life, a harmonious husband-wife relationship, you have to lower your head and coax Su Zhaorong into a happy mood, that's all."
These are all the golden and jade words that Guangping fūrén had realized for decades.
Once a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fight, it is primarily the daughter-in-law who suffers. How can a man turn against his mother? If the mother-in-law instigates it, and as time goes on, even the most loving couples will turn against each other. (2)
Meng Yunluo, who was young and high-minded, how can she hear it?
Meng Yunluo nodded perfunctorily: "I wrote down everything my mother said."
How could Guangping fūrén not see her daughter's duplicity, she sighed inwardly.
Had she known about today, in the past, she really couldn't have said so many things about Su Zhaorong in front of her daughter. It's too late to regret now. Fortunately, a few months were still left before marriage, so let's take it easy!
…
Xingyang Palace.
Lu Lin's face was full of joy, and he ordered: "Let the kitchen prepare wine and dishes, send someone to bring Mingfang back to the house, by the way, go to the Hanlin Academy to send a message to Zhou Li. Let's have a lively family get-together to celebrate today."
Lu Jia smiled and led the order to retreat, and sent someone to pick up the eldest young lady and the future third son-in-law.
Lu Mingyue winked at Lu Fei and smiled playfully: "Is the second brother thinking about Sister Shen?"
The three words from the family, made people feel hot in their hearts.
Lu Fei was not embarrassed to admit it, and grinned, "Yes."
Lu Xuan hurriedly smiled and said: "Second brother is embarrassed to go to Shen's house, so I will do it for you. I will go to Shen's house to pick up the future second Sǎozi. (3)"
Before he finished speaking, he was slapped on the back of his head.
This familiar angle and strength, you don't have to look up to know who it was.
"Fourth sister, next time you beat me, can you change the place?" Lu Xuan begged aggrievedly.
Lu Mingyu raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Your big head is dangling in front of my eyes, and it's effortless to beat."
The crowd burst into laughter.
Lu Lin thought for a moment and smiled: "The imperial decree conferring marriage is indeed a big happy event. According to the custom, it is not very proper for a future daughter-in-law to come to the door. However, as long as the Lu family doesn't mind, the Shen family is also happy, and no one will talk too much.
"Lu Fei, you go to Shen's house in person and pick up Miss Shen to meet at Lu's house."
Lu Fei was instantly overjoyed.
That overjoyed look made everyone smile again.
Amidst the joy, Lu Mingyu was the calmest one. It seemed that it is not an imperial decree that decided her life-long event, but a random reward from the palace.
Lu Minghua's heart was as careful as her hair, and she asked softly, "Fourth sister, are you upset?"
Lu Mingyu raised the corners of her mouth: "How can I be unhappy. I am overjoyed to be the Second prince consort." As she spoke, she showed a happy smile.
Lu Minghua always felt that something was wrong.
However, today was a good day of great joy, so it was inconvenient to say something more. Lu Minghua asked a question and had to stop.
…
At this time, the palace was also lively and festive.
Concubine Qin was full of joy, and went to the Jiaofang Palace to congratulate Empress Qiao: "The Second Prince has arranged such a good marriage, so the concubine came here to congratulate the Empress."
Empress Qiao's heart fell to the ground, and at this time her brows stretched and smiled like a spring breeze: "I have to congratulate you too. Miss Zhao Wu is also considered to be the one that the Prince has grown up with. This is a match made in heaven."
Concubine Qin happily smiled and said: "To tell the truth, the concubine has always loved that girl Zhao Yu. I didn't expect the emperor to order the marriage so soon. It can be seen that the concubine is also lucky."
"Speaking of which, Fourth Miss Lu is a valiant woman with a valiant personality and a magnanimous temperament. The Empress must be so happy to have such a daughter-in-law."
Saying that Concubine Qin covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed.
She was gloating in her heart.
Empress Qiao came from a scholarly family, she was elegant and dignified, and she liked girls who were elegant and reserved, such as Qiao Wan. But the future daughter-in-law was Lu Mingyu, a girl just the opposite of that.
Ha ha! It will be fun to watch later.
How could Empress Qiao not see the ridicule in Concubine Qin's eyes?
She has been the wife of the clan patriarch for several years and sat on the phoenix chair for another eight years, so she was not easy to provoke. With a slight smile, she said, "Bengong is indeed very happy. King Xingyang is the first general of the Great Wei Dynasty, and Fourth Miss Lu behaves like her father. Only such an outstanding woman can be regarded as the Second Prince consort."
Sure enough, Concubine Qin smiled reluctantly.
Yes, although Lu Mingyu acted recklessly, her family background, appearance and martial arts were excellent, and she had the Lu family as the backing. With the help of the Lu family, the Second Prince's power in the army will inevitably increase.
The Second Prince was proud, so the rest of the princes can only be disappointed?
1. Husband's younger brother.
2. Well summarised, exactly what happened to our FL in her previous life.
3. Wife of the elder brother.
