Consort Yu immediately brought Lu Linglong to the Imperial Study.

Emperor Jing Xuan had just finished dealing with his official business when he heard that Zhuge Qing had arrived. Just as he was about to meet this esteemed guest from the Western Jin, he heard Eunuch Quan report, “Consort Yu requests an audience.”

Xiao Duye and Qin Yanran had been doted on recently, and even Consort Yu had gained some face in front of Emperor Jing Xuan.

Emperor Jing Xuan let her into the Imperial Study.

Consort Yu explained her intentions to Emperor Jing Xuan and called Lu Linglong in.

Emperor Jing Xuan looked at the young girl in front of him. Lu Linglong was indeed beautiful and talented. When he was selecting the accompanying students for the two princesses, she was visiting her relatives in Ji Zhou. Otherwise, she would definitely have a place in the Palace Academy.

Her background was n.o.ble enough, and she was a match made in heaven with Zhuge Qing.

Emperor Jing Xuan was a little tempted.

Consort Yu brought Lu Linglong out with a smile and saw d.u.c.h.ess Lu waiting for the two of them near the imperial study.

d.u.c.h.ess Lu hurriedly asked, “You’re out so soon? What did His Majesty say?” Consort Yu smiled. “How can His Majesty disagree with a good marriage?”

Madam Lu looked hesitant. “But I heard that Mr. Zhuge is a cripple… He can’t walk properly.”

Consort Yu said, “So what? Many people with healthy limbs can’t defeat him, doesn’t this prove that he’s powerful? The more such a person is, the more unscrupulous he can be. If Linglong marries him, she will enjoy endless wealth in the future! The Lu family has a chance to become the number one family in the capital. As for the Liang King, if he ascends to the throne, the Lu family will be the emperor’s maternal family. Isn’t that enough?”

d.u.c.h.ess Lu was instantly tempted.

That’s right. Although marrying Su MO could rope in the Marquis of Zhenbei,

he was a general after all. If he ended un like the Wei family. wouldn’t the Lu

Public House have gained nothing?

It was safer to marry a strategist. There was no need to charge forward. He only needed to sit in the court and give ideas.

Consort Yu adjusted the ta.s.sels on her hair. “His Majesty asked me to attend the banquet too. I’ll return to the bedroom to change my clothes. You guys go to the Qilin Hall first.’

Madam Lu bowed with her daughter. “Your Highness, take care.”

After bidding farewell to Consort Yu, the two of them walked towards the Qilin Hall.

After taking a few steps, the two of them saw Su Xiaoxiao and Li Wan sitting in the gazebo.

“Mother, look.” Lu Linglong pulled Madam Lu’s sleeve. Madam Lu frowned. “The women of the Wei family?”

Lu Linglong asked, “Is Qin Su inside?”

She had just returned from visiting her family in Ji Zhou and had never seen the eldest daughter of the Qin family.

Madam Lu said casually, “Yes, that fat girl is… much thinner than before.”

She did not have a good impression of this eldest daughter of the Qin family, especially when she thought of how she had provoked the relations.h.i.+p between Princess Jingning and King Liang time and time again. The more she thought about it, the more she disliked her.

However, there was nothing she could do about it. She could not rush over and beat the other party up.

“Who’s the woman beside her?” Lu Linglong asked. “She looks familiar.”

Madam Lu said, “You met the widow of the Wei family’s Erlang at the New Year’s Eve banquet a few years ago, but you were still young at that time and might not remember.”

Lu Linglong was 16 this year. The last palace banquet was five years ago, and she was only 11 at that time.

Lu Linglong pursed her lips. “Mother, her hairpin is really beautiful.”

Even from so far away, the golden light on the hairpin was still dazzling.

d.u.c.h.ess Lu snorted. “What are you envious of? When you become Madam Zhuge, there will be many jewelry for you to choose from! Do you care about a hairpin?”

As the mother and daughter spoke, Su Xiaoxiao and Li Wan stood up and walked down.

They saw the two of them come to a path and talk to a man in a wheelchair.

The man was wearing a silver fox cloak and a mask, revealing a pair of cold and smiling eyes. His exquisite chin was slightly weak and pale.

He had an incomparably n.o.ble aura. He sat in the wheelchair without losing his aura.

Lu Linglong’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Eunuch Quan ran over with a smile. “Mr. Zhuge! You’re here? The wind is strong. Go back to the Qilin Hall first. His Majesty is already here.”

Lu Linglong’s pupils constricted. “He’s Mr. Zhuge?”

If she had felt a little aggrieved about marrying a cripple before, then at this moment, she was really stunned by the other party.

There was actually such a man in the world. Every move he made exuded a mesmerizing aura.

Madam Lu saw her daughter’s shy expression and knew what to do. “It seems that Consort Yu has sincerely found a good husband for you.”

“Mother!” Lu Linglong stomped her feet shyly.

She could not help but size up Zhuge Qing, only to see Zhuge Qing smile at the women of the Wei family. She carefully distinguished that he was smiling at Wei Qing’s widow.

Suddenly, a fair-skinned little girl ran over with two jars.

She threw herself into Zhuge Qing’s arms and the jar fell.

Zhuge Qing’s eyes were exceptionally gentle and doting, making him even more charming.

Li Wan quickly carried the little girl over.

“That’s…” Lu Linglong did not recognize Wei Xiyue for a moment.

Madam Lu said, “The daughter of the Wei family’s Erlang, what’s her name… Wei Xiyue? She’s a stupid child. She’s seven years old and hasn’t been enlightened. I heard that the Wei family invited more than ten teachers to her, but none of them could teach her. They all left in anger. Sigh, the Wei family only has one descendant, but she’s a fool. Don’t you think it’s a sin?” Lu Linglong asked in confusion, “But why do I feel that Mr. Zhuge likes her very much?”

Wei Xiyue stretched out her small arm to Zhuge Qing again. Zhuge Qing carried her over and she nestled in his arms, crossing her small feet in enjoyment.

“Maybe he likes children.” Madam Lu thought for a moment and said, “He lives in the Wei family and still expects Qin Su to treat his leg. He has to give the Wei family some face. Alright, alright, hurry up and sit.”

Lu Linglong turned around and looked at Zhuge Qing.

That man’s figure was deeply engraved in her mind.

“Was that Miss Lu just now?” Su Xiaoxiao had actually noticed the two of them.

Li Wan nodded. “Yes, the third daughter of the Lu family. I met her at the palace banquet a few years ago. I didn’t expect her to have grown up. You just said that Madam Lu wants to matchmake her with Su MO?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “The Empress probably won’t accept the hot potato. It depends on whether they will go to the Emperor Jing Xuan.”

“If His Majesty gives the decree, Su MO can’t disobey it.” With that, Li Wan looked at the little girl who was addicted to staying in her father’s arms. “Come down.”

Wei Xiyue did not come down. She turned around and crawled into Wei Qing’s arms.

In the end, it was Li Wan who forcefully pulled a certain little octopus out of her father’s arms.

It was a small banquet today. There were not many guests, but there were many singing and dancing to liven things up. There was music in the hall. It was quite lively.

When Emperor Jing Xuan saw the legendary Mr. Zhuge, he greeted him warmly.

Xiao Zhonghua, Xiao Shunyang, and the others also sat down.

Jing Yi sat beside Xiao Zhonghua. It was as if there were nails on his b.u.t.t. He kept moving.

Xiao Zhonghua said with a headache, “Go over if you want to!”

Jing Yi walked towards Su Xiaoxiao.

“Is that Mr. Zhuge?” Xiao Shunyang asked Xiao Zhonghua. “I heard that Big

Brother had a misunderstanding with him at the entrance of the palace.”

“You’ll have to ask Big Brother.” Xiao Zhonghua did not want to be the messenger.

Xiao Duye raised his wine gla.s.s and said without changing his expression, “It’s just a greeting. How have you spread the rumors?”

Emperor Jing Xuan and Zhuge Qing drank three rounds. He sighed with emotion that Zhuge Qing was extraordinary. As expected of the number one strategist. He had benefited greatly from a few casual insights at the royal court.

If this person could be used by the Great Zhou, the Great Zhou would be like a tiger with wings.

Emperor Jing Xuan smiled and asked, “Sir has been alone for many years. No one has taken care of the back residence. I have a good relations.h.i.+p with you and want to give something to you.”

Wei Qing smiled faintly. “Oh?”

Emperor Jing Xuan looked at the seat of the Lu Public House.

Lu Linglong lowered her head shyly.

Madam Lu was so excited that she tightened her handkerchief.

His Majesty actually proposed so quickly in public. It seemed that this marriage was inevitable!

Su Xiaoxiao blinked. What was going on? Wasn’t she betrothed to Su MO? Why was she targeting Second Brother?

The others were also surprised.

Matriarch Wei’s expression darkened. What a shameless emperor. Her grandson had already died, but he still did not let her grandson off!

Xiao Duye looked at the Consort Yu beside Emperor Jing Xuan. Consort Yu smiled at him. He had an idea.

This was his mother’s idea. Although he did not like Zhuge Qing, if Zhuge Qing could be used by him, he could forget about the past.

Xiao Zhonghua gripped his wine gla.s.s tightly.

Xiao Shunyang seemed to be saying it for Xiao Zhonghua to hear. “Father, you’re really biased.”

Emperor Jing Xuan smiled and said, “What do you think, Mr. Zhuge? If you’re willing, I’ll immediately issue a decree…” “No,” Wei Qing said.

Emperor Jing Xuan was stunned.

Xiao Duye said coldly, “My father arranged a marriage for you. Don’t be shameless!”

Wei Qing said calmly, “I’m a strategist of the Western Jin. When is it your Great

Zhou’s turn to propose? Have you asked the Western Jin Emperor?”

Xiao Duye had tolerated this guy for a long time. He stood up and pointed at his nose. “You’re just a strategist. You don’t even have an official position in the Imperial Court, yet you dare to shout in front of my father! Do you think this is the Western Jin? You only have the support of the people of the Western Jin!”

Wei Qing moved the armrest of the wheelchair, pulled out the Western Jin Emperor’s Dragon Spring Sword, and stabbed it into the hall! Seeing this sword was like seeing the Western Jin Emperor!
