Chapter 113 No One to Support
The Queen Mother saw Lu Chenshuang's embarrassment. After all, she had just accepted Lu Chenshuang's gift, so she wiped away her tears of laughter and said, "Okay, stop laughing at Shuang'er."
The princess smiled and said, "Mother, I am not making fun of her, but I am proud of her. As women, we must also be self-reliant."
To be honest, Lu Chenshuang's personality really suits the eldest princess's taste, and she also sincerely praises Lu Chenshuang.
After hearing this, Lu Chenshuang sighed and said half-truthfully, "I have no one to rely on, so I have to stand on my own. If there was someone backing me up, I wouldn't have to fight on my own."
As soon as Lu Chenshuang finished speaking, Nanny Fang said, "Greetings to the Emperor, greetings to the Prince."
Upon hearing this, several people looked towards the door and saw the emperor and Mu Hansu standing there.
The emperor was looking at Lu Chenshuang with a teasing look, and Mu Hansu's eyes when looking at Lu Chenshuang were also somewhat ambiguous.
Lu Chenshuang was speechless. How could these two grown men learn to eavesdrop?
The Queen Mother was also very happy to see her two sons. She smiled and said, "You two are really rare guests. How come you have time to come to my Shoukang Palace?"
The emperor laughed when he heard this and said, "Your Majesty, you are talking about my ninth brother, right? I have been to your palace quite a lot recently.
But my ninth brother is a rare one. It was difficult for me to talk to him about something in the past. Today, he has a rare chance to enter the palace, so he came in a hurry to pay his respects to our mother.
It can be seen that he really misses his mother in his heart."
The emperor's words sounded sarcastic, but no one present noticed it. They were used to the emperor's unrestrained behavior.
So no one paid any attention to him at all.
The emperor felt embarrassed, then he stepped forward, bowed to the empress dowager and said, "Your son pays his respects to the queen mother."
Of course, Mu Hansu on the side also stepped forward to pay his respects to the Queen Mother. The two brothers' actions were exactly the same, and their etiquette was standard and beautiful.
The Queen Mother was naturally happy to see Mu Hansu, and said, "Okay, no need to be polite, just sit down."
The emperor was naturally not polite and sat on the chaise longue next to the empress dowager.
Mu Hansu took a quick look and found a seat closest to Lu Chenshuang and sat down.
After the two of them paid their respects to the Queen Mother, it was naturally Lu Chenshuang's turn to pay their respects to them.
Lu Chenshuang stood up helplessly, feeling a little aggrieved.
The eldest princess is the emperor's eldest sister, and there are no outsiders here, so she naturally does not need to pay her respects to the emperor.
Not to mention the Empress. Just look at her, she was flirting with the Emperor in the Empress Dowager's palace in front of so many people. Their eyes were so seductive that it was obvious that she didn't need to perform formalities.
Only her status was low, so Lu Chenshuang respectfully saluted the emperor and Mu Hansu.
Mu Hansu just looked at her calmly and hummed. The emperor then started to tease her, "Lu Chenshuang, I just heard you complaining that no one supports you. How about I find you a good marriage, so you don't have to fight in the battlefield yourself anymore."
Lu Chenshuang: . . . . .
This dog emperor is really good at eavesdropping.
However, when he said this, the Queen Mother nodded in agreement and said, "It's time to find a good husband for Shuang.
But if you, the emperor, want to grant me a marriage, you must find a reliable man for Shuang'er. If she turns out to be like Jing Zhaoyan again, I will not forgive you."
The emperor was about to agree when Lu Chenshuang interrupted him and said, "Queen Mother, I know you love me, but I really don't want to get married now.
I have just escaped from the tiger's den, I cannot go back into the wolf's den."
The Queen Mother was stunned when she heard this, then she laughed and said, "What are you talking about, girl? You are only eighteen years old now, how can you not get married?
Don't worry, I've got your back. Your future husband won't dare to disrespect you.
Also, although Marquis Jingyang is a good-for-nothing, you can't think that all men in the world are so bad.
What does it mean to just get out of the tiger's den and enter the wolf's den? If you find someone who truly loves you, you won't think like this.
You see, Jing'er met the wrong person before, but now he is living a good life."
Duke Rong is indeed deeply in love with the eldest princess and has been staying with her alone for so many years.
Even though the eldest princess had no children, he did not take a concubine, which shows that he is indeed a good man.
Moreover, the smile on Princess Rong's face never stopped when she was mentioned, which shows that she has really met her true love.
Lu Chenshuang smiled and said, "Queen Mother, I'm afraid there is only one good man like this in the world and the eldest princess is the one who can get him. Where else can there be another Duke Rong in the world?"
The emperor was unhappy again after hearing this and said, "Lu Chenshuang, what do you mean by that? My ninth brother and I are still sitting here."
Lu Chenshuang rolled her eyes secretly when she heard this. She didn't know whether Mu Hansu was a good man, but this dog emperor was definitely not a good man.
Otherwise, the queen would not have had such great resentment at the time.
But on the surface, Lu Chenshuang still smiled and apologized to the emperor: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I said the wrong thing."
Somehow, Lu Chenshuang always felt that Mu Hansu looked at her with some resentment in his eyes.
Thinking of what she had just said, she apologized to him and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Before Mu Hansu could say anything, the Queen Mother spoke up to defend him, "Alright, it's just idle talk, you two can't take it seriously.
Besides, Shuang'er met the wrong person and is naturally repulsive to men, so you two should stop being so fussy about it."
emperor:......
Who is the biological child after all?
It was almost noon, and Lu Chenshuang wanted to leave the palace, but the empress dowager insisted that she stay for lunch, so she had to refuse and stayed.
Soon the table full of dishes was served.
Lu Chenshuang silently counted the dishes and found that there were exactly one hundred and eight dishes.
Such luxury really made Lu Chen stunned.
The Queen Mother said to Nanny Fang while eating, "Since there are so many people today, these dishes are fine. Don't waste them like this in the future."
Upon hearing this, Nanny Fang quickly agreed.
In fact, even if these dishes cannot be finished, they will not be wasted. They will be given to the palace maids and eunuchs as rewards.
In particular, the best wine and food are first selected by the palace maids who serve the master personally, so some palace maids wish that the master has as many dishes as possible.
Although there were many dishes, Lu Chenshuang still felt very depressed during the meal.
No one spoke during the entire process. Even if the emperor took three bites of a dish he liked, it would be taken away immediately.
Of course, Lu Chenshuang didn’t feel sorry for the emperor, but for herself.
Before she could even stretch out her chopsticks, they were taken away. There were several dishes that Lu Chenshuang liked that she didn't get to eat.
Lu Chenshuang felt that eating like this was a torture and she should leave the palace early.
Mu Hansu seemed to see that Lu Chenshuang was unhappy. When the next dish was served, he found that Lu Chenshuang's eyes were bright, so he picked up a piece of food for her with his chopsticks without waiting for the emperor to make a move.
Mu Hansu's action shocked the Queen Mother and others, including Lu Chenshuang herself.
When Lu Chenshuang reacted, she saw that everyone was looking at her, and her face suddenly turned red for some reason.
