Chapter 78.1 - His legitimate consort
Xiahou Rui looked at her deeply, solemnly nodding, “Rui will remember Gentleman Mu’s words today, and never go against them.”
“Then that’s good.”
“Second brother, what are you guys talking about?”
Xiahou Liuyun say that there were speaking about something that he didn’t understand.
He suddenly felt as if he’d been ignored.
He was clearly here to matchmake them because from after the palace banquet, his impression of Lou Qingwu had changed completely.
Originally, he’d had a good impression but after that, he was worshipping her like a deity.
When they investigated to his mother-empress, his mind went completely blank.
If there wasn’t Miss Lou there, he couldn’t even bear to think about how that could’ve ended.
So when he heard second brother say that afterwards, someone had placed hysterical powder on him, his heart was even more scared.
When he finally realised afterwards that mother-empress wanted to set up second brother and Miss Lou, thinking of the gossip that had been spread about Miss Lou three years ago, he couldn’t bear it anymore and decided to help his mother-empress to set them up together.
He clenched his fists, he would definitely make Miss Lou became his second sister-in-law!”
He didn’t like any of those other n.o.ble misses!
Miss Lou was still the best match for his wise G.o.d-like brother, furthermore, looking at his second brother, it didn’t seem like he didn’t have no feelings for Miss Lou.
His eyes keep moving around before dragging the Lan Bai to the side and immediately running away.
“Second brother, you guys chat well. I’ll go listen to some stories so take your time! Take lots of your time!”
After he finished speaking, he didn’t wait for the two of them to respond before dashing away like a bunny.
From outside, Lan Bai’s unhappy voice was faintly heard.
“Hey, what are you doing? You can go listen to your stories but I need to follow my master … hey! Jerk, let go!”
Lou Qingwu blinked before slowly sipping her tea.
“It seems that he’s already recovered.”
“Yes, he suffered a bit of a shock from what happened at the palace.”
Not only his seventh brother, but was the shock that he suffered small?
Originally, he thought that it was all pleasant and well.
But when he lifted up the lid, he discovered that it’d been riddled with festering wounds underneath.
If it was like before, he was afraid that he wouldn’t even know how he’d die.
So he had to counter-attack, and at the same time … strengthen himself.
Apart from strength, he could only hope for …
Thinking of his mother’s earlier words, he couldn’t help but turn to face Lou Qingwu.
His thin lips moved for a while before finally lightly asking, “After a few days, will you come to the palace?”
“En?”
Lou Qingwu froze for a bit, after a few days, go to the palace?
She’d just seen the empress a bit before, and she hadn’t said anything.
So what was this about?
She thought for a bit, at this time …
She suddenly froze and immediately realised why Xiahou Rui was asking.
The empress liked rose hibiscus flowers and this was the season when they were in bloom, so the empress would prepare rose hibiscus festival to invite some other n.o.ble women and girls to Kunning Palace to look at the flowers.
So Xiahou Rui was talking about this rose hibiscus festival.
Last year, the Lou residence had received an invitation too but every time, it was Lou Lianxin who went.
But after getting caught in bed, Ruan Zhen definitely wouldn’t let Lou Lianxin appear any more.
So the opportunity to enter the palace would fall onto another girl in the Lou family.
If Lou Lianxin knew that Lou Qingwu was the one going this year, would she be more angry, more upset or more depressed?
As long as it was something that made Lou Lianxin unhappy, she’d definitely be happy to do it.
She nodded, “Of course, I’ll go.”
“Then that’s good.” Xiahou Rui instantly let out a relieved breath.
His originally dark and solemn eyes were a bit brighter.
If he really had to marry someone, he hoped that person, would be her.
