LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 32 Meeting at the Palace Gate
Chapter 32
After Lu Songli and her daughter arrived home, two waves of people from the palace came to their house in the afternoon. These two waves of people brought two oral orders. One wave was the Queen Mother summoning Lu Songli to the palace to attend the dinner, and the other wave was the Emperor summoning Lu Desheng to the palace to meet him.
After the first wave of eunuchs announced the order, Lu Desheng handed over a purse and asked him if his wife could accompany his daughter to the palace. The eunuch took the purse, looked at the Lu family mother and daughter, and shook his head.
After sending away the two waves of eunuchs, Lu Songli's family of three gathered together to discuss. Lu Songli felt that the emperor summoned her father to the palace, most likely because he had said he would reward him. And the Queen Mother summoned him, most likely because she had bad intentions, as the saying goes, there is no good banquet.
Lu Desheng and Jiang looked at their daughter worriedly. Lu Songli knew that this meant that the Queen Mother was really going to interfere in their marriage between Zhao, Lu, Xie, and Qin. After sending someone to the Qin family to inquire, it turned out that Qin Sheng was also summoned. No need to think about it, since Qin Sheng was summoned together, the other two, Xie Zhan and Zhao Yutan, must also be included.
"Ali, I'm afraid I'm going to wrong you this time." Lu Desheng said apologetically.
The Queen Mother summoned Lu Songli to the palace alone, and Jiang couldn't follow. No matter what happened, she had to deal with it alone.
Lu Songli understood that her father was referring to the matter of offending the Queen Mother in the past. This time, the Queen Mother was afraid that she would embarrass her. Lu Songli knew that her father didn't want to do it either. Her father was not a man of character. If he had a choice, would he choose to offend the Queen Mother? He must have been forced.
"Dad and Mom, don't worry about me, I can handle it."
After guessing the Queen Mother's intention, Lu Desheng and his wife also lay down. The Queen Mother intervened, there was nothing they could do. They had already thought of the worst case scenario. The worst case scenario was that they would lose their marriage with the Xie family. The arm cannot twist the thigh, and the people of the Lu family know the current situation.
The father and daughter found that the time for the audience was Shenshi and the place was the same, so they decided to set off together.
Before entering the palace, Lu Songli took a good bath and dressed up. After getting dressed, she prepared to put on makeup herself.
As the saying goes, the three views follow the five senses. Lu Songli was a person who had benefited from her appearance in the future. Although she didn't know how the topic would unfold after the queen mother summoned them, she was sure that she had to face the famous beauty of Chang'an City. Zhao Yutan's bright and generous, if she didn't dress up well, it would be easy to suffer. How could Lu Songli let herself suffer such a loss?
When Jiang saw that she picked a moon-white palace skirt, she hesitated and said, "Is it too plain?"
"No, mother, listen to me." Lu Songli replied while putting on makeup. As a working woman, putting on makeup is a basic skill, and her current face is 70% similar to her previous face, and some places are even better than before, so she is more comfortable with it.
As the saying goes, if you want to be pretty, you should wear mourning clothes and a moon-white palace skirt, which is just right. She is originally a light-faced person, and both heavy and light makeup are suitable. To be honest, white is more suitable. In the upcoming scene, she is the weaker party, so why not magnify her advantages such as cold, beautiful and sad.
When she finished the last stroke and stood up, Jiang was amazed and didn't think about asking her to change into another dress.
"Let's go, your father is waiting, you two should go early and come back early."

At the gate of the palace, military officers must dismount and civil officials must get off the sedan chair.
As soon as the Lu family's carriage stopped, a eunuch came up and asked, "But is it the carriage of Lord Lu Desheng, the censor?"
The father and daughter looked at each other in the carriage, and Lu Desheng got off the carriage first.
As soon as he landed, the eunuch urged, "Lord Lu, you are finally here. Come on, please follow me. Don't keep the emperor waiting for too long."
This scene fell into the eyes of Xie Zhan, who arrived at the gate of the palace first. He stepped forward and greeted them, "Uncle Lu, A Li."
Lv Desheng nodded at him, and was asked to leave before he even had time to tell Lv Songli a few more words.
Looking at this scene, Xie Zhan thought to himself that Lv Desheng was really favored. It was already this time in the evening, and the emperor still summoned him to the palace.
The remaining two looked at each other and didn't speak. To be honest, when Xie Zhan first saw Lv Songli, he was a little bit afraid to recognize her.
This was the second time he saw Lv Songli since the drowning incident. She had changed a lot, and she was very different from her previous timid appearance. No, she had changed when she came to the door the next day. In fact, upon closer inspection, her clothes and appearance were not much different from before. Now she was wearing a moon-white dress, with a proper bun and makeup for a boudoir girl. Unlike her thick bangs in the past, she had tied up her bangs, revealing her whole face. However, she looked around with bright eyes and white teeth, shining like a pearl, and her agility was fully revealed.
At this moment, the Zhao family's carriage arrived at the gate of the palace and stopped naturally. Zhao Bin drove the carriage himself. After he stopped the carriage, he jumped off the ground and handed his hand to the person in the carriage.
I saw a slender hand on his little arm, and then a beauty in red came out of the carriage. This person was none other than Zhao Yutan.
Lu Songli watched this scene leisurely, and felt that she was a little bit pretended.
Perhaps her eyes were too straightforward, and the Zhao siblings looked at her first.
Zhao Bin looked unprepared, and turned his head away after just one glance at her, as if he saw some garbage.
Zhao Yutan's face looked even paler against the red dress, and her makeup gave people the feeling of someone who had just recovered from a serious illness. At this moment, she looked at him with eyes full of tears, about to cry, and hesitant to speak, which made people feel pity.
Lv Songli sighed in her heart, well, enemies often meet on narrow roads.
Zhao Yutan was also amazing. No matter what she did, she could always act so innocent when facing her. I don’t know how she usually hypnotizes herself.
Zhao Yutan opened her red lips slightly, "Ali, Brother Xie."
Lv Songli soon realized that Zhao Yutan's gaze was not on her, but behind her. Xie Zhan was standing just a little behind her. She was just about to turn her head to see what Xie Zhan's reaction was.
Just then, someone was riding a white horse not far away.
Xie Zhan, Zhao Yutan, Zhao Bin and Lu Songli looked towards the sound.
After recognizing the person on horseback, Zhao Bin's face was not good.
The person was very fast. When he was about to get to them, he held the reins with one hand. After the last difficult horse-riding action, the archer turned over and got off the horse neatly.
Qin Sheng was wearing the military officer uniform of Yunqiwei. The young man was full of vigor and vigor, and he couldn't help but attract everyone's attention.
Zhao Yutan also stopped involuntarily and stared at him intently.
Qin Sheng walked past her without looking away.
Zhao Yutan opened her mouth slightly, wanting to call him, but in the end she could only lower her eyes sadly.
Qin Sheng was fine. In her foresight dream, during the years when the Qin family was exiled, he died of an acute illness, and she carried the coffin for 300 miles. She forgave her. She didn't want to lose her husband at a young age, nor did she want to live a life of being a prisoner. Perhaps, after they broke off their engagement, without her, even if the Qin family was exiled, he wouldn't have to die early?
Lu Songli openly admired the boy's enthusiasm and arrogance. Her mother was right, Qin Sheng's horsemanship was really handsome.
When he met her gaze, Qin Sheng paused slightly, then glanced suspiciously at the three of them, frowning.
None of the four of them had the intention to speak.
The silence of the four people made the guards at the entrance of the palace embarrassed for them.
As analyzed before, now the four of them also represent the attitudes of the four families. Xie Zhan said nothing right: Zhao Yutan finally got the position of the innocent victim, so it is naturally difficult to speak at this time: Qin Sheng is too lazy to speak.
At this time, the most suitable person to break the calm is Lu Songli. But why should she do this? For Lu Songli, as long as she is not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
Finally, Qin Sheng showed an expression that was difficult to describe and walked towards the palace. A group of seriously ill people arrived at the palace gate but did not go in. I don’t know what they are looking at. What is there to see!
