Butler Li was very excited. This was the first banquet held by the palace except for King Che's wedding. It was also the princess's birthday, so she had to be dignified.
So he immediately asked Mr. Qianliu, who was famous for his calligraphy in the capital, to write a post. Today was August 23rd, and there were less than twenty days left.
Camp in the eastern suburbs.
Because King Heng was with him, Lu Zhixi entered the military camp easily.
Staring at the soldiers practicing on the martial arts ground, Li Yuheng's eyes became colder and colder.
"Miss Lu, I saw that you were deeply in love with your second brother, so I made an exception and brought you in. Women are not allowed in the military camp, and you must not act too openly."
This morning, Lu Zhixi went to Prince Heng's Mansion and wanted to visit Li Yuheng's concubine, the legitimate daughter of General Ning Yuan. Later, she was bumped into by Li Yuheng who was returning from the next court.
She wanted to contact Li Junche who was in the military camp through General Ning Yuan.
Since Wen Jinhe is blocking her at Prince Che's Mansion, he should bypass her and meet Li Junche alone.
"Don't worry, Prince Heng. I'm here for business and won't cause any trouble to you."
Li Junche frowned when he heard King Heng bringing Lu Zhixi over, "How can a woman enter this important military camp? Who let Lu Zhixi in?"
The soldier explained with panic on his face: "The guards of the military camp tried to stop him, but King Heng insisted on bringing him in, so they couldn't resist."
"Second brother, why should you be angry? Zhixi often followed you when you were a child. You have never been anywhere." The curtain of the tent was opened from the outside, and Li Yuheng led Lu Zhixi in.
Li Junche stood up with his hands behind his back, "Brother, the emperor should know that women in the military camp are not allowed to enter at will. It seems that they have been too leisurely recently and started to meddle in other people's business."
A sneer appeared at the corner of Li Yuheng's mouth, "The second brother and the second brother and sister are more powerful than the other, which really scares the emperor."
Lu Zhixi took a step forward and knelt on the ground, "Brother Junche, as a woman, I can't lead troops to fight and make achievements like my father. But I don't want to disgrace the reputation that the Lu family has accumulated over the past century. I am in Bianyun City. I have been studying medicine with the doctor for three years, thinking that one day I can contribute to the Beidi Kingdom, and I hope that Brother Junche will let me stay in the military camp. "
Li Junche said sternly: "There has never been a female military doctor in the military camp. There is no shortage of military doctors in the eastern suburbs camp. If you really want to practice medicine and save people, wouldn't it be better to open a medical clinic in the capital."
Lu Zhixi's face was full of helplessness, "My mother said it is not good for women to be in the public eye, engage in business, and compete with the people for profit."
Li Junche picked up the long sword placed on the wooden stand, and the light was reflected by the hilt and flashed across Lu Zhixi's face, "The military camp is full of men, and the military doctors are treating only soldiers. They are all shirtless, wouldn't it be even more inappropriate? I think that if Miss Lu wants to contribute to the country, I have many unmarried generals under my command. How about you choose one of them as your husband?"
Li Yuheng looked at Lu Zhixi, whose face turned pale, and already scolded her ten thousand words of trash in his heart, "Second brother is really good at joking. Zhixi obviously likes you. You let her marry someone else, which puts her in a bad situation." where."
"If the royal brother pities her so much, how about taking her back to the backyard of Prince Heng's Mansion? There won't be many of her anyway." Li Junche couldn't bear to hear other people say bad things about Wen Jinhe. He competed with the people for profit, and made innuendoes at his own little princess at every turn.
Lu Zhixi was taken away by Li Yuheng while crying.
The cushions on the carriage were almost wet with tears.
Princess Changping saw Lu Zhixi coming back crying and quickly asked what happened.
Lu Zhixi didn't have the nerve to tell the truth. She went back to the room crying and didn't allow anyone else to come in. She didn't even eat dinner.
Li Junche heard that Wen Jinhe was going to have a party for his birthday, "Don't you always hate this kind of communication?"
Wen Jinhe looked through the list compiled by Butler Li, "What kind of trouble can be caused in our own territory? I heard that Lu Zhixi followed King Heng to the military camp to find you?"
Li Junche glanced at Zhao Bi, who silently withdrew, "Yes, she said she wanted to join the military camp as a military doctor, but the king rejected her. Later, he said that he would introduce her to a marriage, and the generals in the military camp who did not have wives would not be allowed to marry her. "Young master, she didn't agree, so he simply let her into Prince Heng's Mansion, and was taken away by the emperor's brother in tears."
Wen Jinhe used a pen to emphatically circle the name of the person he liked, "She is interested in you, how could she be willing to marry someone else? Since she is so ignorant and doesn't know how to quit when the difficulties are hard, then I can only do it myself If you take care of her, you will scare the monkeys and save people from looking at your backyard."
Li Junche walked up behind Wen Jinhe and said, "After all, there is Princess Changping standing behind Lu Zhixi. She should act more calmly."
Wen Jinhe raised his head and patted the list on Li Junche's hand, "How could I ask for trouble? If you spared your time that day, I would like to see how thick-skinned this Miss Lu is and what her bottom line is."
Li Junche opened the list, looked at one of the circled names, and raised his eyebrows.
When did my princess become so alert, "When did you know?"
Wen Jinhe stared at Li Junche and chuckled, "You don't think that my business is only for making money, do you?"
Private information spreads the fastest and lasts the longest. It is not easy to find out about someone, especially when the royal merchants come into contact with high-status customers. They either want money or are powerful.
Before General Lu died in the battle, the mistress of the Lu family arranged a marriage for Lu Zhixi, and the marriage was still on the fingertips. Later, the Lu family died in the battle, leaving only Lu Zhixi as an orphan.
After she was adopted, Princess Changping actually decided to cancel the marriage when she was thirteen years old.
The regretted fiancé was Luo Jincheng, the legitimate son of Jianyehou Mansion whose family was in decline.
Marquis Jianye died the year the engagement was broken off, and his grandson Luo Jincheng, who was only seventeen years old, inherited the title. Now he is twenty-one years old, but he has not married yet.
Li Junche handed the list to Man Qiu, who wanted to take it and write a reply to Butler Li, "What happened back then was that the emperor's aunt went too far."
Man Dong came in and said that dinner had been set, and the two held hands and left the study.
Three days later, many people in the capital received messages from Prince Che's Mansion.
In the palace of the Minister of Justice, Song Zhiyuan's wife Yang looked at the exquisite invitation in her hand and was surprised, "This is unusual for Princess Che's birthday."
Everyone in the capital doesn't know that Princess Che doesn't like crowded places.
They have been married for more than a year. Not to mention the banquet, there are not many female relatives who can enter Prince Che's palace.
Everyone who received the invitation unanimously made time on September 11th.
Not to mention that King Che was in the limelight recently, even for Wen Jinhe's sake, they had no choice but to stay.
Princess Changping took the invitation, gave it to Lu Zhixi after careful consideration, and warned, "This is a Hongmen Banquet."
Lu Zhixi pinched the corner of the invitation with a somewhat determined look in her eyes, "Didn't I say that Brother Junche will also be there? I have to go." She also had to plan carefully.
