The next day.

Lu Mansion.

The congratulatory gifts had been prepared a long time ago. Lu Ping was worried and looked at them carefully again.

He had already secretly surrendered to King Yan. However, there were many capable and ambitious officials under King Yan, among whom he was not ranked, let alone King Yan's confidant.

Therefore, Lu Ping refused to miss any opportunity to come close to pleasing King Yan.

For King Yan's wedding, Lu Ping carefully prepared a congratulatory gift.

The small flowerpots carved from fine Hetian jade are lifelike and very delicate. In the flowerpot is a pomegranate tree. The pomegranate tree is less than one foot, its trunk and branches are made of pure gold, but its leaves are polished with various gemstones. There are several small pomegranates on it, which are carved from huge rubies.

Pomegranate has many children, which means many children and good fortune. Most suitable as a wedding gift. This pot of pomegranate tree looks ordinary, but in fact the materials used are very particular, and the craftsmanship of the craftsmen is even more exquisite. Even the fine lines on the leaves are beautifully carved.

Lu Ping looked at it carefully for a moment, finally nodded with satisfaction and closed the brocade box again.

"Master, the two young masters are here." The steward came to report respectfully.

Lupine hummed.

When the two Lu Hong brothers appeared in front of him, Lu Ping couldn't help but frowned: "I ordered someone to send you some new clothes a few days ago. They are of the best materials and the most popular styles in the capital. Why don’t you wear it?”

"Didn't I tell you? Today is the grand day of King Yan's wedding. There are countless officials from the capital who have come to send gifts and congratulate you. It is rare to have such a good opportunity to show up, so you must be careful."

Lu Hong lowered his head and glanced at himself, feeling that there was nothing wrong with him: "I am also wearing new clothes. I only wore them once a few days ago."

The texture is high-quality and the color is elegant, which suits him very well.

Besides, when King Yan got married, he was just following his second uncle to see the world. Why do you have to wear those slightly fancy new clothes? If he wants to stand out, he relies on his own talents, not his appearance.

Seeing Lu Hong talking back, Lu Ping became increasingly unhappy and glared at Lu Hong: "Okay, go back quickly and change another one. Time is running out, don't delay!"

Lu Hong frowned and wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it and turned around silently to change into new clothes.

Lu Qian looked on coldly, sneering in his heart.

In his previous life, Lu Hong was always thinking about his beloved wife and son, and he didn't want to get involved with Princess Changping at first. It was this good second uncle who secretly used some shady means to force Lu Hong to "submit".

Now it seems that this scene will soon be staged in front of him.

Remind Lu Hong?

Of course it's impossible. He wished that Lu Hong would fall into the arms of Princess Changping as soon as possible and completely erase Lu Hong's figure from Ling Jingshu's heart.

The clothes Lupine had sent to him were all brightly colored. Lu Hong felt unhappy, so he reluctantly picked an apricot-colored brocade robe and put it on.

This time, Lupine was finally satisfied.

Lu Hong was naturally handsome and handsome, and wearing this new clothes, he looked even more handsome and fair as jade. No matter where you stand, you will become the focus of everyone's eyes.

Princess Changping, who loves beauty, will definitely meet Lie Xinxi.

…

On King Yan's wedding, the emperor and queen in the palace each sent people to come, and rewards were brought continuously into King Yan's palace.

The wedding was planned and arranged by the Minister of Etiquette himself. King Yan himself did not need to worry about it, and he did not even have to go to welcome the bride in person. Just put on a brand new wedding robe, sit safely in the main hall of Prince Yan's Mansion, and accept the congratulations from everyone.

The emperor is getting older and more obsessed with alchemy. He has less and less time to go to court and has less and less involvement in government affairs. Most of the trivial matters in the court were taken care of by the Prince of the East Palace.

Of course, His Royal Highness is resting for a long time and it is not appropriate for him to work hard. Therefore, these matters eventually fell on the emperor's grandson.

The power of Queen Xu, Queen Yan, mother and son within and outside the court cannot be underestimated.

Empress Xu ruled the harem with one hand, her eyes were all over the palace, and she had great influence on the emperor. After King Yan took over the household department in the court, his power became far stronger than before, and he secretly attracted party members. The marriage between Ping Guo and the Duke of Ping meant that King Yan's power began to spread to the army.

The rivalry between the East Palace and Queen Yan's mother and son has gradually emerged.

Officials in the DPRK and China were naturally divided into three factions. One faction regards itself as the prince who upholds the orthodoxy, while the other faction surrenders to the King of Yan openly or covertly. Most of them are officials who remain neutral.

For these officials, neither the Prince's faction nor the Yan Wang's faction can offend, they cannot please both sides, and they cannot pretend to be deaf and dumb. In short, competing for the throne is a matter for the descendants of the royal family, and they will support whoever is the final winner.

The ambitious Lu Ping is unwilling to be mediocre and wants to achieve the same goal as the dragon. He had already secretly taken refuge with King Yan. There are not a few officials like him. Today, most of them came to visit in person to congratulate me.

When everyone met, they showed a tacit smile and took turns sending congratulatory gifts to congratulate King Yan.

When it was Lu Ping's turn, Lu Ping first sent a carefully prepared congratulatory gift, and then poured out congratulatory words.

The pomegranate pot is quite exquisitely made. King Yan glanced at it casually, and then said with a smile: "Master Lu is interested. I like this pot of pomegranates very much."

Just a few words made Lu Ping smile. He cupped his hands and said: "Wei Chen is just expressing his feelings. It is not in vain for Wei Chen to win His Highness's favor."

Even though King Yan usually behaves in an unruly manner, he is quite approachable when it comes to winning over people's hearts.

After Lu Ping gave the congratulatory gift, he was left in the main hall.

Brothers Lu Hong and Lu Qian were led by the steward to another spacious hall.

Most of the people staying here are young men. Like the two of them, they were also brought to "see the world" by their elders. There were also a few familiar faces among them, who were actually classmates in the Imperial College.

Lu Hong immediately led Lu Qian forward and started chatting with everyone.

I don’t know who said: “The princess is here!”

Everyone was shocked and turned around to salute.

A gust of fragrant wind blew over, and the beautiful and charming woman who appeared at the door was none other than Princess Changping, who had a close relationship with him.

Lu Hong saluted along with everyone, but secretly frowned in his heart.

It's all young men here. Princess Changping came without any suspicion... It can be seen that those rumors are not all based on rumors.

What Lu Hong didn't know was that most of the young men present were ready to move after meeting Princess Changping.

Putting aside the noble status of Princess Changping, even having a relationship that requires no responsibility due to her beauty and charisma is a beautiful thing worth bragging about.

Princess Changping smiled sweetly: "You don't have to be polite, just keep your body straight!"

His eyes fell on Lu Hong from a distance, and a strange light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
