Chapter 156 Love ([-]rd)
Just as Xiao Jinyue took out the silver needle and was about to give Lu Chengting acupuncture and moxibustion, unexpectedly another maid came to pass the message.

Sighing, Xiao Jinyue withdrew the silver needle, thinking that the Chang'an county lord was unwilling to give up and wanted to trouble her.

Unexpectedly, he guessed wrong this time.

The servant girl who delivered the message was sent by the steward of the mansion.

"I have met the son of the world, the chief steward asked me to pass on the message that Princess Ruijia has come to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and is waiting for you to pass by in the front hall."

Xiao Jinyue thought that the servant girl was here to deliver a message to her, but she didn't expect that it was the princess who wanted to see Lu Chengting.

Hearing that it was the princess who came, Lu Chengting didn't move, and said coldly, "No, go back and tell the chief steward, saying that my son is in poor health and cannot entertain the princess."

"However, the chief steward said that the princess followed the emperor's orders and brought an imperial doctor to treat you."

"Let the chief steward bring the imperial physician to Shi'an Garden. As for Princess Ruijia, let Chang'an county magistrate and the girls in the mansion be in charge of entertaining her."

The servant girl originally wanted to say that the person Princess Ruijia wanted to see was you, the eldest son, but Lu Chengting's face was cold, and the words lingered in her throat, but she didn't dare to say it out, so she had to leave Shi'an Garden.

Xiao Jinyue felt a little strange. Princess Ruijia brought the imperial physician here according to the emperor's orders. Ordinarily, Lu Chengting should meet the princess to express his gratitude.But Lu Chengting insisted on not seeing him, and his attitude was a bit cold.

However, although she felt strange, this was a private matter, and it was not easy for her to ask.

With the imperial doctor around, she couldn't give Lu Chengting acupuncture and moxibustion. Xiao Jinyue planned to go back to the inner room to rest for a while.

Just when she stood up, Lu Chengting called to stop her, "Wait a minute."

Xiao Jinyue looked back at him.

Unexpectedly, Lu Chengting pursed his lips and remained silent.

"What's the matter, is there something wrong?" Seeing that he was silent, Xiao Jinyue gave him a strange look.

"Can I ask you to stay?"

Seeing Xiao Jinyue looking at him suspiciously, Lu Chengting pursed his lips, and continued, "Can I...call you Jinyue?"

She didn't know why Lu Chengting asked her to stay. It could be seen that he obviously didn't want to talk about it. After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and sat back, "It's just a title, there's nothing wrong with it."

Xiao Jinyue sat back and picked up the teacup. Before she finished half a cup of tea, a female voice sounded outside.

"Brother Lu, Brother Lu..."

I don't know who it is, but this voice... is delicate and sweet.

Xiao Jinyue shuddered, put down the teacup involuntarily, reached out and rubbed her arms.

Lu Chengting silently glanced at her movements, and quickly looked away.

Xiao Jinyue looked out the door curiously.

As the footsteps got closer, Princess Ruijia in a red palace attire came into Xiao Jinyue's sight.

Followed by an imperial doctor carrying a medicine box, and the second and third girls who rushed over after hearing the news.

It turned out that the voice just now was Princess Ruijia.

The speed of coming was so fast, presumably it was because the servant girl who had just sent the message had not returned to the front yard, and this Princess Ruijia had come to Shi An Yuan.

"Brother Lu, why didn't you come to see Ruijia in the front yard?"

With a burst of fragrant wind, Princess Ruijia passed by Xiao Jinyue and rushed towards... Lu Chengting.

Seeing Princess Ruijia walking in, Xiao Jinyue quickly stood up from the armchair and saluted, "I've seen Princess Ruijia."

Unexpectedly, she passed her straight and walked straight towards Lu Chengting.

Xiao Jinyue rubbed her nose and thought, she is so big that Princess Ruijia can't see her standing here, so when did she learn the invisibility technique?

Princess Ruijia rushed towards Lu Chengting with a smile on her face, and reached out to hold his arm, "Brother Lu, Ruijia heard that you were poisoned and unconscious. When did you wake up?"

Lu Chengting couldn't get up, so he could only avoid her hand by bowing his hands in salute, "I have seen Princess Ruijia, please forgive me for my inability to get up and salute the princess."

Rui Jia was not annoyed at not being able to hold Brother Lu's arm. She frowned and said worriedly, "Brother Lu, what's wrong with your leg?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I was poisoned before and hurt the meridians on my legs, so I can't walk now."

"I can't walk, it's so serious? Brother Lu, why didn't you find the imperial doctor to treat you earlier? Let me see your legs..."

As Princess Ruijia said, she reached out and wanted to lift up Lu Chengting's trouser legs.

Sitting beside her, Xiao Jinyue rested her chin on her hand, watching the scene in front of her with interest.

The second girl and the third girl sat aside, gloating and waiting to see Xiao Jinyue's jokes, but she herself watched with a smile like a normal person.

The two couldn't help but looked at each other. Could it be that this concubine is a fool who can't see that Princess Ruijia loves their elder brother?

Xiao Jinyue didn't know the slander of the two girls, she seemed to know why Lu Chengting let her stay just now.

This Princess Ruijia, with a sweet voice, one mouthful of big brother Lu, and the admiration in her eyes that is so thick that it is almost overflowing, even a blind person can see... She likes Lu Chengting.

One is the princess of the emperor's empress, and the other is a famous general, which seems to be a good match.

It's just that the movements of the two seem to be...uncoordinated?

That princess seemed to behave intimately towards Lu Chengting, she didn't mind the defense of men and women at all, she just wanted to touch Lu Chengting in front of everyone.

As for Lu Chengting, I don't know if it's because of her being here that he seems to resist the touch of Princess Ruijia?

Lu Chengting couldn't move his legs, so he could only sit on the armchair. Seeing Princess Ruijia stretching out his hand, he wanted to pull up his trouser legs. The veins on his forehead twitched, and he quickly blocked Rui's hand with his arms.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Jinyue was a little surprised.

It seems that I shouldn't be here?
Xiao Jinyue was hesitating whether he should get up and avoid it, but Lu Chengting seemed to have sensed something, and stretched out his hand across the tea seat in the middle, grabbed her arm, and pulled her to his side.

"Princess Ruijia, this is the wife of the minister. Madam, hurry up and greet the princess."

"You..." Xiao Jinyue glared at Lu Chengting, why did this man suddenly call Madam.

As if knowing what Xiao Jinyue was going to say, Lu Chengting pursed his thin lips and looked at her silently.

Seeing the begging in his eyes, Xiao Jinyue's heart softened inexplicably, and she suddenly couldn't say the words of refusal.

Xiao Jinyue raised a smiling face and said, "My wife, Xiao Jinyue, has met Princess Ruijia."

Seeing Lu Chengting holding Xiao Jinyue's hand, the two of them were affectionate in front of her, the jealousy in Princess Ruijia's eyes almost burned Xiao Jinyue.

A court lady following Princess Ruijia glared at Xiao Jinyue, "Bold, why didn't you kneel down and salute when you saw the princess?"

Lu Chengting said with a cold face, "According to the etiquette, the minister's eldest son and concubine don't need to pay respects, they only need to perform blessings."

"Brother Lu, you..."

Seeing that Lu Chengting refused to let Xiao Jinyue greet him, Princess Ruijia was even more angry, and gave Xiao Jinyue a vicious look.

Xiao Jinyue sighed in her heart, she knew that marrying the son of the Duke of Zhen would definitely attract a lot of jealousy.

 Served at three o'clock today.

  To the girls, Happy Goddess' Day!
  No matter what age a woman is, she should remember to be nice to herself.
