CH 88

"Ahao, I went to Wenhua Hall today and begged your father to give you a marriage. Your father has already agreed."

In the study room of Jinren Palace, Li Hao was sitting at the desk, his face was gloomy and his eyes were as dark as pools.

Su Zhaorong swept away the pitiful appearance of crying that she generally had, now her charming and soft face was full of joy, and even her laughter was much more cheerful than usual: "Your father said that tomorrow, he will give you a marriage."

"Ahao, this is a good marriage, and your mother begged it for you."

Li Hao didn't make a sound or move.

Su Zhaorong said to him: "King Xingyang is brave and good at fighting, and is a famous general of the Great Wei Dynasty. The Marquis of Guangping has always followed your father to fight the world. In terms of trust and closeness, it is even better than the King of Xingyang."

"Meng Yunluo is the daughter of the Marquis of Guangping. She often goes in and out of the palace, and you have seen her. She was born beautiful and charming, not inferior to Lu Mingyu at all."

"Furthermore, Meng Yunluo's temperament is much better than that of the fierce and aggressive Lu Mingyu. She is a few years younger than the Eldest Prince, so she was not a good match for his age. Otherwise, she would have been the daughter-in-law of Concubine Meng Gui long ago. Where can I get her for you."

"Speaking of which, this is also your good luck. Marrying the daughter of the Meng family, you will be close to the Marquis of Guangping in the future. The First Prince is the direct nephew of Marquis Guangping, and you will be Marquis Guangping's son-in-law in the future. Marquis Guangping is not stupid. , how can he not know the importance of the inside and outside."(1)

"As long as you draw the Meng family over to support you, you will be able to lead troops to fight and make meritorious deeds in the future, and you will also have helpers."

The more Su Zhaorong spoke, the happier she was, and the smile could not close her mouth. It was obvious that she was extremely satisfied with this marriage: "When you marry her in the future, you will know that your mother's eyes are right."

The corners of Li Hao's mouth were pursed extremely tightly, and deep pain flashed in his black eyes.

Su Zhaorong looked at him, feeling distressed for her son, but also a little annoyed.

What's so good about that Lu Mingyu, just thinking about her like that?

Humph! 

The hatred of her past life and the humiliation of kneeling in this life, she remembers everything! In the future, one day, she will make a clear calculation between her and Lu Mingyu.

Su Zhaorong hardened her heart, pretending she didn't see the pain in her son's eyes, and said with a smile, "It's getting late, you can rest! When tomorrow, your Royal father decrees the marriage, your lifelong event is set. I am here. In my heart, I feel at ease.”

No matter what Su Zhaorong said, Li Hao remained silent.

Su Zhaorong was annoyed, but she endured it, softly told her son to rest well, and then walked away.



As soon as Su Zhaorong left, the study was completely quiet.

Li Hao sat alone for a long time, then stood up, walked to the window, and pushed open the window lattice.

The bright moon was in the sky, and the breeze was cool.

The evening breeze of spring, mixed with the fragrance of flowers and plants, blew slowly.

On such a pleasant night, Li Hao's heart was as cold and sour as if dipped in ice water.

In his mind, the weak and crying face of his mother Su Zhaorong flashed, and the blank and dependent face of his younger brother Li Chang flashed, and then it was fixed on a valiantly beautiful face.

A glint of water flashed in Li Hao's eyes.

He suddenly couldn't bear it any longer, turned around suddenly, and pushed open the door.

Xiaonian, the servant who was standing outside the door, was taken aback and hurriedly stepped forward: "Where is Your Highness going?"

Li Hao stepped forward quickly, and without turning his head threw a sentence: "Don't follow." Then he strode away.

Xiaonian didn't dare to follow him and sighed inwardly.

In the past few days, His Highness has been in a very bad mood. The reason for this, as his personal servant, naturally he knew something and also regretted it in his heart.

Fourth Miss Lu is such a good girl. She originally promised her Royal Highness affectionately, and only waited for the Emperor to give her a marriage. He never thought that a pair of lovers will journey only until this point.

Most of these were Su Zhaorong's "credit".

Thinking of Su Zhaorong, Xiao Nian couldn't help but sigh again.

With such a mother on the stall, His Highness was really suffering!

According to the rules of the palace, the palace gate was locked after the Hai (2), and the palace gate will not be opened again for the night.

The guards guarding the gate of the palace heard the sound of the watch and pushed the gate of the palace. Just as he was about to lock up, he heard the sound of hooves.

The guard leader was startled and turned around quickly. He saw His Royal Highness the Third Prince riding a horse towards the palace gate, and gave a brief command: "Open the door!"

The head of the imperial guard hesitated for a moment: "The palace gate should be locked. Your Highness wants to go out now, and the little ones can't stop it. But, once the gate is locked, without the Emperor's order, the palace gate cannot be opened..."

It was easy to go out, but it was difficult to come back to the palace.

Li Hao said expressionlessly: "Open the door!"

The hanging wind lanterns were swayed by the wind. Under the uncertain light, Li Hao's expression was gloomy and cold.

The leader of the guards did not dare to speak anymore, so he called two guards over and pushed open the heavy vermilion palace gate.

Li Hao rode a horse out of the palace gate, and soon, the figure disappeared into the night.

The head of the imperial guards closed the palace gate again and neatly dropped the heavy copper lock. A guard whispered, "It's so late, why did His Royal Highness the Third Prince run out of the palace?"

The head of the guards rolled his eyes and said, "The matters of our masters, is it our turn to gossip about them. Shut up quickly!"



After a busy day, everyone in the Lu Mansion had settled down to rest.

Lu Mingyu was lying on the bed, but she didn't feel sleepy.

It was quiet at night, and old things about her past life came to her mind.

The hairpin ceremony in the previous life was as lively as it was today. However, at that time, it was Su Zhaorong who sent a congratulatory gift. Li Hao didn't show up during the day, but at night, he sneaked out of the palace to see her.

"Xiaoyu, I've finally waited until you reach your hairpin." The handsome young man with sword eyebrows and stars, full of joy, said affectionately in the moonlight: "I have already asked the Royal father, and the Royal father will soon issue an imperial decree to give you and me a marriage. ."

"We will soon be able to get married and become husband and wife. We will be with each other every day and night."

"Xiaoyu, I'm really happy. Are you happy?"

The young she, immersed in his intoxicating gaze, full of tenderness, smiled and hummed.

He took her hand and made a solemn promise: "Xiaoyu, I swear to heaven that I will treat you with all my heart in the future, and I will never cause you any pain. If I violate my oath, I will not have a good end."

Ah!

No wonder their relationship had such a miserable ending.

Lu Mingyu closed her eyes.

The door was knocked suddenly, and the knock was very rapid.

Lu Mingyu frowned, got up, and opened the door: "Qiyun, what happened so late?"

Qiyun looked a little strange and said in a low voice, "Miss, the concierge steward came to deliver the news in person, that the Third Prince came down and said that he wanted to see the young lady. If the young lady refused to see him, His Royal Highness would only wait outside the Lu Mansion. He doesn't dare to neglect the matter, and he doesn't dare to disturb others, so he came to deliver the news. Is Miss going to see him?"

Li Hao was here again!

New hatred and old hatred flooded into her heart together.

Lu Mingyu smiled coldly: "Since he dared to come, why don't I dare to see him. You go now and lead him into the house. I want to see what he is going to do!"

1. What she means is that the eldest prince was the son of the Marquis's sister while he will be the husband of his own daughter. Hence he will be an inside relative while the Eldest Prince was an outside relative.

2. The period between 9 to 11 PM.
