Next, it was time to meet Su Zhaorong.

Enemies were extremely jealous when they met… There was no such situation.

Lu Mingyu only took a deep look at Su Zhaorong, until Su Zhaorong’s scalp went numb and cold sweat broke out on her back. Soon, Lu Mingyu bowed: “I’ve met Su Zhaorong.”

It was certainly not wrong to call it this way. According to the custom of the harem, only those who were listed as fēiwèi ^[1]Imperial Concubine were qualified to be called niángniáng.^[2]the official way to address Imperial Concubines, Empress, Empress Dowager

In the previous life, after Lu Mingyu and Li Hao got engaged, Emperor Yongjia gave Su Zhaorong the title of fēiwèi. In this life, there was no Lu family to come forward, and Emperor Yongjia did not do this.

So far, Su Zhaorong was still Su Zhaorong.

Su Zhaorong calmed down and said with a smile: “The second huangzhifei please get up quickly.”

The palace people brought her a greeting gift.

Lu Mingyu didn’t even look at it, Qiyun behind her took it. This cold attitude was obvious to everyone.

However, except for Su Zhaorong, mother and son, no one took it seriously. Anyway, in the palace, Su Zhaorong was used to being suppressed and looked down upon.

After that, it was time to meet your peers.

Emperor Yongjia’s five sons and two daughters, according to the sequence, Lu Mingyu first met with Princess Huian and Fuma ^[3]husband of the royal Princess Wu.

Princess Hui’an held it in for a long time, and only now had a chance to open her mouth. She said with a half-smile, “The second dìmèi really stole the show today.”

Before Lu Mingyu could speak, Li Jing responded, “The newlywed wife entered the house, offered tea to the elders, and paid her respects to the relatives. Xiaoyu did everything comprehensively. Princess, what does it mean when you say Xiaoyu has taken all the limelight?”

Princess Hui’an: “……”

Princess Hui’an was used to being domineering. When had she ever been rebuked like this before? Not to mention, it was her biological brother who was hitting her.

Princess Huian raised her eyebrows, and Wu Fuma sensed trouble. He quickly laughed and took over the conversation, “Princess must be remembering the day we got married and I offered tea. Now, that was truly stealing the limelight!”

Princess Huian was amused and playfully punched Fuma Wu.

Fuma Wu was beaten so hard that he coughed several times and had to cover his chest with his hands, amusing everyone again.

With Fuma Wu sacrificing his ego, the atmosphere quickly became much more relaxed.

Lu Mingyu also had a very good impression of Wu Consort.

In the previous life, Fuma Wu and Princess Hui’an had always had a good relationship. It was a pity that Fuma Wu was also a short-lived ghost. After Li Chang ascended the throne, he went to Huangzhuang to escape the summer heat and summoned Fuma Wu to accompany him. Fuma Wu contracted a serious disease from unknown sources and died within a few days.

…

“We’ve met my eldest brother and dàsǎo,” Lu Mingyu and Li Jing met their eldest brother and dàsǎo together.

The Eldest Prince behaved like the eldest brother. He smiled loudly and patted Li Jing on the shoulder: “Congratulations to my second brother, you have married your sweetheart and you have achieved your wish.”

Li Hao was hit by an arrow in the chest, but his expression did not change.

Li Jing did not look at Li Hao but smiled at the eldest prince: “The eldest brother and dàsǎo are a loving couple. I only hope that Xiaoyu and I can be like the eldest brother and dàsǎo.”

The Eldest Prince did not show any embarrassment on his face, but he was secretly annoyed in his heart.

Which pot should not be opened?

He and the Eldest huangzhifei originally had a good relationship. However, since the huangzhifei had a miscarriage last year and Yang Gongren became pregnant, the relationship between the couple has not been as good as before.

Li Jing’s sentence “loving couple” was clearly sarcastic.

The Eldest Prince’s smile also faded a lot.

Li Jing ignored it and smiled at Lu Mingyu: “Xiaoyu, these are the third brother, the fourth brother, the fifth brother, and the second sister.” Then he smiled at Li Hao and others and said: “Why don’t you come and meet your second dàsǎo?”

Everyone: “…”

When it came to pretentiousness, Li Jing was also a good one.

Everyone present was well aware of the “story” between Li Hao and Lu Mingyu.

No one knew what Li Hao was thinking. However, there was nothing unusual about it. Li Hao smiled, cupped his hands, and called “Second dàsǎo.”

Lu Mingyu responded with a smile.

The Fourth Prince’s eyes drifted back and forth between Lu Mingyu and Li Hao. Regretful that they could not see the wonderful scene, they called our second dàsǎo together.

Princess Jing’an and Li Chang also came to see the ceremony.

Lu Mingyu responded one by one, and her eyes turned around to Li Chang.

Li Chang couldn’t help but shudder, and an inexplicable chill ran down his back.

Lu Mingyu withdrew her gaze and turned her head to signal. The palace attendant behind her came out with several brocade boxes: “This is a meeting gift from me to my xiǎoshūs and my second sister. I hope you don’t think it’s too simple.”

Li Hao and Li Chang didn’t say anything. The Fourth Prince rushed to laugh and said: “Second dàsǎo is so polite.” Then he opened the brocade box in front of everyone. Inside was a set of the Four Treasures of the Study.

The Fourth Prince seemed a little regretful: “There are many sharp weapons and divine weapons in the Xingyang Mansion. I thought the second dàsǎo would give me a good knife!”

On the happy day when you meet your relatives, the meeting gifts given were also very particular. There was no need to stand out, it is best to be within the rules. There was no reason to send weapons.

The Fourth Prince seemed to say it casually, but you had to taste it carefully to understand the meaning behind it.

Lu Mingyu smiled slightly: “Fourth brother likes weapons. After these two days, just come to the Second Prince’s residence.”

The Fourth Prince responded with a smile.

Just then, Lu Mingyu chuckled and said, “However, if you want to take away a divine weapon, you’ll have to show a bit of skill to let the second dàsǎo see. If you can’t pass my test, I’m afraid you won’t be able to take it away.”

The Fourth Prince was not embarrassed when he encountered a soft nail. He said with a smile: “I will come to the door another day to make trouble. Second dàsǎo, just don’t send me away.”

Li Jing smiled leisurely: “It’s okay to go, but remember to tell me. If you dare to sneak in while I’m not around, don’t blame me for being rude.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed.

What a harmonious group!

Until this moment, Emperor Yongjia had a real smile: “Now that we have all seen the ceremony, we will be a family from now on. I look forward to the harmony between you and your husband, and the friendship between your brothers and sisters.”

Everyone should be together.

Emperor Yongjia looked at his newly married daughter-in-law: “Lu Shi.”

Lu Mingyu responded with a smile: “My daughter-in-law is here.”

Emperor Yongjia said warmly: “I personally proposed marriage to King Xingyang that day. After King Xingyang accepted the marriage, he was worried about you. I personally said that after you come here, I will treat you like my daughter.”

“I will always keep these words in my heart.”

“Today, you served tea and called me Father. I also recognize you as my daughter-in-law. If you suffer any grievances in the future, you can tell me and I will support you.”

Emperor Yongjia was wise, powerful, talented, and strategic, and was a wise king of his generation.

He was a good Emperor, a good son, and a good father. He also tries his best to treat his daughters-in-law fairly and equally. Lu Mingyu was favored by Emperor Yongjia in her previous life, and she respected and loved her father-in-law very much.

It was precisely because Lu Mingyu knew the character of Emperor Yongjia that she showed her talents when serving tea today.

If Emperor Yongjia had a small nose and small eyes, he would definitely be angry with his daughter-in-law for being disrespectful. Emperor Yongjia was able to calm down quickly and said these words in public, which shows that he was broad-minded.

The only shortcoming of Emperor Yongjia was that he was confused and biased in his inner house, and was not a good husband.^[4]so true

Lu Mingyu raised his eyes and looked at Emperor Yongjia: “This daughter-in-law has written down everything my father said.”
