Chapter 2 Fatherhood
  Lu Xuan was born in the Lu family of Fanyang, and was a descendant of a common branch of the family. He studied diligently when he was young, and passed the examination as a scholar at the age of seventeen. He was considered an outstanding son among the Lu family.

When he was eighteen years old, Lu Xuan passed through Nanyang County on a study tour and stayed at Baima Temple.

Jiang Yan, the young princess of Nanyang County, went to the temple to burn incense.

A boy and girl met in front of the Buddha statue, their eyes met in the scent of sandalwood, and they fell in love at first sight.

King Nanyang was the uncle of the current Emperor Taikang and a powerful vassal king with a fiefdom. The only one under his knees is Jiang Yan, the apple of his eye.

Jiang Yan has been frail and sick since she was a child, and King Nanyang dotes on her in every possible way and is obedient to her. Jiang Yan insisted on marrying Lu Xuan, and King Nanyang agreed.

The princess had no reason to marry, so she recruited Lu Xuan as her son-in-law.

The reputation of a son-in-law is certainly not very good. However, the Nanyang throne was very powerful, and Lu Xuan was just a concubine from a branch of the Lu family. Being the son-in-law of the Nanyang King was really a high achievement.

Fan Yanglu's family remained silent and accepted the marriage. When Lu Xuan entered the Nanyang Prince's Mansion, he gave him generous gifts during every year and festival.

After the young couple got married, Qinse and Ming became quite affectionate. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Jiang Yan became pregnant two years later, and had a difficult delivery, which greatly damaged her vitality. He passed away after being on the sickbed for a year.

Lu Xuan lost his beloved wife, was extremely sad, and fell seriously ill.

A man can only keep his wife's filial piety for one year, but Lu Xuan insisted on keeping his wife's filial piety for three years. It's so affectionate and touching.

The King of Nanyang did not treat his son-in-law badly. He selected the most outstanding-looking one from Jiang Yan's maids to serve Lu Xuan in his daily life.

This maid named Mei Ran had a very good belly. She soon became pregnant and gave birth to a son.

Lu Xuan was very happy to have an heir. He named the child Jiang Ying so that he could offer incense to his aunt in the future.

The King of Nanyang said: "Yan'er has her own flesh and blood, so there is no need to snatch other people's sons. From now on, we will have time to offer sacrifices and burn incense to her."

The King of Nanyang took the initiative and named the baby boy Lu Ying. He also ordered a banquet to be held in the palace and made Mei Ran his aunt.

That year, King Nanyang wrote a memorial with tens of thousands of words, each word of which was filled with tears.

The late emperor was greatly moved when he saw it, his eyes were wet, and he agreed to the request of King Nanyang, making an exception and canonizing Jiang Shaohua, who had just turned five years old, as the princess of Nanyang Princess.

Jiang Shaohua's name was officially entered into the clan roster, making him the first Daliang princess to inherit his grandfather's surname and title.

Aunt Mei gave birth to another daughter the next year. Lu Xuan lived with his Aunt Mei and a pair of children in the courtyard in the northwest corner of the palace. On weekdays, Aunt Mei and the children rarely appeared in front of Jiang Shaohua.

This year Jiang Shaohua paid filial piety to his grandfather, and Lu Xuan came alone to accompany his daughter every day. She never let Aunt Mei and her concubine siblings get in her way.

Such care, such consideration.

How could she, at ten years old, not trust and rely on her father who loved her so much?

"Shaohua, the Empress Dowager took you into the palace to raise you, which has many benefits for you. Firstly, you have serious elders to teach you. Secondly, with the Empress Dowager taking care of you, no one dares to find fault with you who lost your mother at a young age. In the future, You can also choose a better marriage."

"Dad will take care of the internal affairs of the palace for you, so you don't have to worry. Just go to the palace with peace of mind. When you get married in the future, dad will prepare a generous dowry for you."

She was too naive when she was young, so she was deeply moved when she heard someone who thought about her wholeheartedly.

Later, she, the Princess of Nanyang, left the Nanyang Palace, went to the capital, and entered the palace.

Lu Xuan naturally became the master of Nanyang Palace.

When she got married, she had a dowry of sixty yuan, which was indeed rich.

But the family fortune accumulated by the Nanyang Palace for decades was originally left to her by her grandfather. In the end, they all had the surname Lu.

Lu Xuan didn't even use too many scheming methods. It is the custom of the world for a woman to obey her father before she marries. Paternal authority easily took away everything that belonged to her.

At the thought of this, Jiang Shaohua's heart surged with hatred, almost drowning her.

She hated herself, even more than she hated her biological father.

She was blinded and blinded by the so-called affection between father and daughter, and ruined her grandfather's hard work. Fortunately, the sky has eyes.

Flowers will bloom again, and people will be young again.

She has come back.

In this life, she will never entrust her destiny to anyone. Her life is under her own control from this moment on.

……

Lu Xuan walked in quickly, and the moment his eyes met his daughter's, he was startled.

Jiang Shaohua lost his mother when he was one year old, and was raised by King Nanyang himself. He was studying at the age of four and practicing martial arts at the age of five, but his biological father couldn't get involved.

However, the blood of father and daughter is thicker than water. Although they don't meet every day, father and daughter are still very close.

King Nanyang died of illness last year, and his daughter became even more dependent on him.

At this moment, his daughter looked at him as if she were a stranger.

Indifferent and reflective.

That look was very much like his dead father-in-law.

Lu Xuan suppressed his slight unhappiness and said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager sent someone to arrive in Jingzhou in five days. It is estimated that they will arrive in Nanyang County in one or two days."

"I heard that Eunuch Zhao is a popular figure in front of the Queen Mother, so we should not ignore him. I plan to personally take people to greet him outside the city gate."

Jiang Shaohua said, "There is no need for father to come forward for some trivial matters. Chen Changshi can just lead people to greet him."

Chen Changshi, whose single name is Zhuo, is the Zuo Changshi of Nanyang Palace. The King of Nanyang held Chen Zhuo in high regard during his lifetime, and all foreign affairs dealings between the palace and court officials were left in Chen Zhuo's hands.

Lu Xuan didn't expect his daughter to refuse him, and was a little surprised. He continued: "I don't know when Eunuch Zhao will arrive. It may take two or three days. The affairs inside and outside the palace are complicated, and we can't do without Chen Changshi. I'd better go!" "

Jiang Shaohua looked over, his eyes were calm, and his voice was calm: "Father misunderstood. What I mean is that Eunuch Zhao is a popular person in the palace, and his father is of no rank. Going to greet him is a sign of neglect and neglect by the palace, which will make Eunuch Zhao Unpleasant. Chen Changshi is the fifth-rank official of the royal palace, Zuo Changshi, so it is appropriate for him to go."

boom!
  Lu Xuan's face turned red instantly.

That's right, he is just the son-in-law of Nanyang Prince. He has no official position and his status is embarrassing. It cannot represent Nanyang Palace to the outside world at all.

When his father-in-law, King Nanyang, was still alive, he lived with his tail between his legs and his head down.

When King Nanyang died, the boulder pressing on his head disappeared. He felt so happy that it was hard to describe.

The Nanyang Palace belongs to his daughter, what's the difference between it and his?
  Over the past year, he has been winning people's hearts everywhere. There was someone who had a bright mind and was secretly attracted by him. I only regret that Chen Zhuo and others relied on King Nanyang's confidants and were lukewarm towards him.

The news that Eunuch Zhao came to Nanyang County had reached his ears early. He thought over and over again and made a plan. Going to meet Eunuch Zhao is the first step. Then, you can plan the second and third steps.

He never expected that his daughter would expose him before he even took the first step.

The pain is unbearable, and there is no room for shame.

Zhang's mother on the side opened her eyes in astonishment.

Jiang Shaohua quietly admired Lu Xuan's embarrassment.

Lu Xuan coughed hard twice, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said warmly: "I am your father, and it is natural for me to stand up for you. There is nothing inappropriate about it."

Jiang Shaohua said calmly: "I have made up my mind."

Lu Xuan: "..."
