Chapter 282 The Girl I Like
He looked relieved for a moment, "So this is why my father and mother are so upset. It's only natural that Miss Zuo is so outstanding and was selected. I've already told you that I have no interest in Miss Zuo. Don't worry about it, father and mother. Go to bed early."
Mrs. Lu was startled: "Do you really not like Miss Zuo?"
"Of course I take it seriously. How could this be false?" Lu Zhaofeng smiled awkwardly.
"Do you have a girl you like?" Mrs. Lu asked, her eyes brightening.
"Oh, mother, don't ask anymore." Lu Zhaofeng felt a little embarrassed and walked towards his bedroom.
"Why don't you ask? You're not a child anymore. You've been leading troops in battles outside for years. You can't be single forever."
"Oh, mother." Lu Zhaofeng lowered his eyes as if he was deliberately dodging something, and a blush quietly and silently crept up on his cheeks.
Seeing his shy look, Madam Lu became more certain in her heart: "What's there to be embarrassed about? If there is a girl you really like, ask your father to help ask the girl's opinion. If the girl has no objection, ask your father to ask the emperor to grant the marriage."
"No." Lu Zhaofeng didn't want to continue talking and turned to leave.
I had just taken two steps when I ran into Lu Zhaolin coming out of the inner room.
"Then let me guess, the girl my second brother likes." Lu Zhaolin pursed his lips and smiled, patting Lu Zhaofeng on the shoulder: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the eldest daughter of the Imperial Censor, Xia Siqi."
"Xia Siqi?" Madam Lu's eyes lit up: "If I remember correctly, when our daughter came home to visit her parents, this Lord Xia came to propose marriage."
General Lu thought about it seriously and said, "It seems to be true."
"That's great." Mrs. Lu's smile deepened. "Since the Xia family is interested in facilitating this marriage, and our Defeng'er likes it, you can go talk to Lord Xia about this matter after the morning court tomorrow."
General Lu nodded.
"Mom, who said I like her?" Lu Zhaofeng's cheeks turned red. He lowered his head and went back to his dormitory embarrassedly.
Mrs. Lu looked at his leaving vest and smiled with relief: "Before, he always said that the marriage should be decided by me as a mother. Now that he has really met a girl he likes, he is shy."
"My son has met Miss Xia. She can indeed control my second brother's temper." Lu Zhaolin said immediately.
"As long as they like each other, we as parents can rest assured." Mrs. Lu said with relief.
General Lu suddenly thought of something and asked Lu Zhaolin, "By the way, what's the matter about the palace examination now?"
"Father, the matter of the last palace exam leak has been investigated. A total of 19 officials were involved. The emperor has punished them in different ways. Some were sent to prison, some were dismissed, and some were demoted. The new round of palace exams will have to wait until the selection of concubines is over."
"How are the preparations going?" General Lu continued to ask.
"Don't worry, father. Everything is ready."
The next day.
The concubines entered the palace one after another.
The daughter of the Minister of Revenue, Zuo Qianrou, was arranged to live in Qingfeng Garden and in the same palace with Concubine Zhen.
"Good luck to Concubine Zhen. I pay my respects to Concubine Zhen." Zuo Qianrou brought some silk from her residence and went to Concubine Zhen's residence first. "I heard that Concubine Zhen is pregnant, so I brought some fine fabrics specially to add some bedding for the little prince."
