Concubine, please respect yourself

Chapter 150
Zuo Xiangfu, front hall.

Li Que sank in the armchair, holding a cup of tea in his hand, the tea was completely cold.

Since he came back from the palace in a daze, this movement seemed to be frozen, and he didn't move for a while.

Li Que was stunned, his thoughts swung back to the scene in Chaoyang Palace.

He was originally a commoner who was not favored by others, but for some reason, things suddenly turned around.

The "Four Treasures Theory" was really amazing.

But such a stunningly talented person, I just scolded him two days ago
Li Que was by no means the kind of person who would follow others, and he would definitely not follow the Lu Family Lang when he became the number one scholar.

He was just a little regretful, and he only blamed himself for being blind at the time.

Sighing softly, he raised his hand and brought the cup of tea to his mouth.

"Master Xiang, it's not good. Go to the mansion and have a look." Ji Xiang, the gatekeeper, ran in to report in a panic.

Li Que frowned and asked, "Why is it so urgent? There are no rules!"

He took a sip of his cool tea.

"The number one scholar of the Lu family, I'm here to hire you!"

"Pfft." The tea in Li Que's mouth sprayed out, he quickly wiped his mouth, and asked anxiously, "What did you say?"

Jixiang was a little scared, shrank his neck and said in a low voice, "The boss of the Lu family, he came to our house to hire him."

The teacup was placed on the table, Li Que got up and walked outside.

Jixiang stomped his feet and hurriedly followed, complaining in his heart that he was quick to talk.

The last time Lu Guogong, his wife, and the eldest son Lu came to the mansion to inquire about their marriage, they were scolded by their own master.

Come again this time. Don't hit people.

On the way, Jixiang met Yintao who was waiting beside Li Qiong.

He spoke hastily to Yintao, and then scrambled and rushed to the gate of the mansion.

Before Li Que walked to the gate of the mansion, he could hear the bustling market at the gate like a market, with endless laughter.

He walked faster, not as calm as usual.

As soon as he came out, he saw a lot of people watching the excitement surrounding the gate of the mansion.

Turning his head again, he saw that Lu Jialang was holding a pair of geese in his hands, and he gave a deep salute to himself with a reverent expression, "Master Zuo, I'm here to disturb you again."

Those two lively wild geese must have tortured him enough, the Da Luo red robe he had just put on a few hours ago was covered in fur all over the place.

Seeing his funny face, Li Que's expression softened a lot, "Lu Dalang, what are you doing?"

The common people watching the bustle at the door laughed and said, "Master Zuo, Zhuangyuan Lang has a crush on your daughter, isn't he here to hire you?"

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd.

Lu Jialang, who had just graduated, didn't even enter his own mansion. Instead, he went so far to Zuo Xiang's mansion to propose marriage. No matter how you say it, this is a good story about the love between children.
Li Que turned a deaf ear to those gossip, and stared directly at Lu Zhiting with his wrinkled eyes.

"Left Prime Minister, I...I." Lu Zhiting didn't know how to speak.

"Don't be angry, Prime Minister Zuo. My elder brother only wants to marry Sister Qiong. It's very offensive to come here today to bother." Lu Ziyu got out of the carriage, walked a few steps forward and said, "For the sake of being so infatuated , can you allow me to wait in and talk?"

Li Que followed the words, and felt that the little girl in front of him looked really good, with a witty look on her brows and eyes, and after thinking about her words, she said in a steady voice, "You are the fourth girl of the Lu family, right?" ?”

There was no doubt in his words, but he recognized the person.

"Left Prime Minister knows me?"

"Qiong'er often tells me about you, saying that you are smart and talented, and your strategy is beyond my daughter's family." Li Que looked at the calm and composed girl with a slightly appreciative look.

It's never been possible to see her daughter's family who is still so advanced and retreating.

Lu Ziyu smiled shyly, and blushed slightly, "Sister Qiong praised her absurdly. The term 'Huiwaixiuzhong' was used on Si Niang, which is a bit exaggerated."

Li Que pondered for a long time, as if he couldn't bear to embarrass the Lu family in front of so many people, he raised his chin towards the door, and said helplessly, "If you have something to say, go in and talk."

Putting aside the words, he walked in the door on his own.

Obviously, some people still don't want to see the two come to the door.

Jixiang first bowed to the people at the door, and then hurriedly made a "please" gesture to the brothers and sisters of the Lu family.

The gate closed, and the geese in Lu Zhiting's hands were picked up by the servant and tied to the gate.

This marriage has not yet been settled, how can someone carry the opposite Yanming into the mansion?

For geese, they must be prepared when they are hired.

In addition to having a good fortune, the more important thing is because of the meaning in it.

A wild goose, male or female, can have only one companion throughout its life.

If one of the geese dies unfortunately, the other geese will not seek another mate.

Therefore, the appointment of the pair of geese is nothing more than an oath of love and loyalty that both men and women are willing to grow old with a white head and share weal and woe.

Jixiang led the Lu family brother and sister into the front hall.

"Sit down." Li Que said calmly, sitting on the upper seat.

The two sat down on the left side.

"Today's palace exam, thank you Prime Minister Zuo for pleading for me." Lu Zhiting stood up and bowed deeply to Li Que.

Lu Ziyu raised his eyebrows secretly, apparently not knowing what happened.

Li Que waved his hand, "The old man just cherishes his talents." He sipped his tea, his tone was a little cold and unfamiliar, "Lu Jialang, even if you are now the number one scholar in high school, I will not marry Qiong'er to you."

"Why? Last time I came you said that I was not worthy of Qiongniang as a tribute, and I admitted it. But now, I am lucky enough to win the crown, is it possible that the prime minister still looks down on me?" Lu Zhiting asked anxiously.

Although his words were urgent, his tone was still respectful.

Li Que sighed, shook his head and said with a wry smile, "No way! Lu Lang, you are so talented, even the old man was not half as good as you back then. But my Li family has been famous for a hundred years, and we must not mess with the party rules because of marriage. "

He is loyal to the sixth prince, and even if he wants to marry his daughter, he has to choose from among the six princes' faction.

Thinking of this, Li Que's eyes only added a trace of sadness.

That day, he begged the sixth prince to choose a good marriage for Qiong'er, but the sixth prince actually pushed the Sun family out.

Compared with this Lu Jialang in front of him, that kid Sun Rongxian is really not a little bit worse, but what can he do?
If he betrothed his daughter to someone from the Ninth Prince's faction, how would the Sixth Prince think of him?
Just as Li Que and Lu Zhiting were at a stalemate, Lu Ziyu, who was sitting on the seat, said with a shallow smile, "Left Prime Minister, what Rong Siniang said is not pleasant. The master you are loyal to is not a virtuous one." Lu Ziyu slowly stood up , his eyes turned cold, "Such party disputes are not worthy of Sister Qiong sacrificing her lifelong happiness."

Li Que's face darkened, and he clenched his palms tightly on the armrest of the chair, "What do you mean by that?"

"Master Zuo, you have peaches and plums all over the world, and you have met more people than Siniang has ever eaten." Lu Ziyu sneered, "How can you not tell the difference, among the princes, who has the appearance of an emperor?"

"Nonsense!" Li Que clapped his palms on the case, already looking furious.

He was annoyed, angry, because he had been lying to himself all these years.

He clearly knew that with the Sixth Prince's disposition, he would definitely not be able to sit on the dragon seat, but he still wholeheartedly supported the Sixth Prince.

This is useless work, but who let me owe him a life
"What you do is your own choice. But sister Qiong's life, she should let her live by herself"

　Prime Minister Zuo is too stubborn, tsk tsk tsk!You spray him lightly
