Chapter 175: Birthday banquet (1)
Chapter 175 Birthday Banquet (1)
In the blink of an eye, it was three days later.
At this time, the sunset has already half-set, and dusk is coming.
In front of the gate of Lu Mansion, there are three luxurious carriages parked. Three of them are decorated with emerald green covers and pearl tassels, and only one is a carriage with colorful glazed canopies and green curtains.
“A great gentleman rides in such a carriage and is not afraid of others laughing at him.”
Lu Li looked at that special carriage with disgust on his face, but there was sourness in his words.
This was given to Lu Yuan by the Emperor. It was beautiful and gorgeous, but Lu Yuan thought it was too girly and had never ridden it.
Later, Lu Ying revealed to Lu Yi and Mrs. Lu that she liked the carriage many times, intentionally or unintentionally, but the two of them seemed to not understand what she meant and chose to ignore it every time.
Lu Yi's face sank, "You scoundrel, you are talking nonsense. This is a gift from His Majesty. It is an honor for your second brother. It is an honor for my mighty general's palace. You cannot talk about it from beginning to end. Also, do you want to Do you want Your Majesty to punish you for the crime of disrespect?"
Lu Li's face sank, he snorted coldly, and got into his carriage first, staring straight ahead with cold eyes.
He clenched the gift box in his hand, and a proud smile overflowed from the corner of his lips, "Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan, don't you think, my grandmother actually gave me such a precious thing as Yu Ruyi, and you just waited to see me in the hall. How to steal the show!”
"No matter how much my father loves you, everything in the family is not taken care of by my grandmother? Although she loves you and dotes on you, she is also a member of the Liu family. My mother is a child of the Liu family. If she wants the Liu family to become more prosperous, she must treat me better! "
Lu Li's brows and eyes were full of pride. He seemed to have seen Lu Yuan's shocked and jealous expression when he presented the jade Ruyi to the emperor.
“Hmph!” He sneered triumphantly and gently stroked the box with delicate patterns in his hand.
“Yuan’er, you’re here!”
As soon as Lu Yi saw Lu Yuan arriving, his face that was gloomy just now softened instantly.
“Second brother!” Lu Ying saluted.
She looked respectful and peaceful, but her eyes were full of ridicule.
Even my father didn’t know about my grandmother’s behavior. Suddenly she was really looking forward to it!
She couldn't wait to see what Lu Yuan's expression would be after her brother became famous.
Is it calm as it is now, or is it a stormy sea like never before?
Lu Yuan ignored the ridicule in Lu Ying's eyes, but looked around lightly, suddenly looked at Lu Yi and frowned: "Why don't you see the fifth sister?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present looked at him in astonishment.
Fifth sister? If they remembered correctly, Lu Yuan never asked anyone other than the eldest lady of the Lu family, and he never easily called other concubines his sisters.
At least, Lu Ying has never heard of Lu Yuan calling her Fourth Sister.
He had called Lu Li his third brother before, but that call was obviously filled with disdain and ridicule. Now, he could call Lu Qi his fifth sister naturally.
Lu Ying’s hands were slightly bent, and her nails dug lightly into her palms.
Lu Yuan despises her and hates her, but treats Lu Qi differently. Why should Lu Qi do that?
Lin Yan's face flashed in her mind, Lu Ying's heart paused slightly, and a feeling of pain came over her instantly.
She hasn’t seen that young man for a long time. I wonder if he will be there when she enters the palace this time.
"Your fifth sister..." Lu Yi suddenly fell silent in the middle of his sentence.
Since the death of his third aunt, he had never cared about his daughter. Later, after his beloved wife died of illness, he focused all his attention on Lu Yuan, and had almost forgotten about his youngest daughter.
There is almost no image of that child in his mind. He doesn't know whether she is flat or round now, which is really embarrassing to say.
