Chapter 1680 The Wife Sings, the Husband Follows
Lu Zhaoling did not expect that Lu Anfan would actually come back, and that he would arrive just in time.
Standing in front of her, Lu Anfan had grown taller than when they last met. He didn't look thinner; in fact, he looked a bit stronger, with faint muscle lines visible beneath his clothes on his shoulders.
He looked weathered, with a noticeable layer of grime on his face.
But her eyes are very bright.
Everyone looked at him, then at Lu Zhaoling, and they all felt that Lu Anfan, upon closer inspection, did bear a slight resemblance to Lu Zhaoling.
It's probably just a bit of the Lu family's genes.
After all, Lu Ming is actually quite handsome.
Seeing everyone staring at him, Lu Anfan felt a little uncomfortable. He touched his face and felt a layer of sand and dust, unsure whether his hands or face were dirty.
But looking at the incredibly festive room and the group of brightly dressed girls in front of him, especially Lu Zhaoling in her red and gold wedding dress, who seemed to shimmer, Lu Anfan felt like a mouse that had stolen oil had fallen into a ball of candy.
It was such a ruined scene, so out of place.
He became more uneasy.
Lu Zhaoling stood up and walked towards him.
Just as she was about to reach him, Lu Anfan realized what was happening and instinctively took two steps back, stopping only when his heels touched the threshold.
"What are you retreating from?" Lu Zhaoling looked at him amusedly, patted his shoulder, and looked him up and down, saying, "Not bad, you've grown taller and stronger."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "I was going to give you a hug, but as you can see, I'm wearing a very gorgeous wedding dress. You haven't changed your clothes in days, you rascal?"
Lu Anfan's eyes reddened, and her nose stung. She quickly sniffed and tried her best to hold back her tears.
He didn't hear Lu Zhaoling complain about his dirtiness at all; he only heard her say that she originally wanted to give him a hug.
"I...I brought new clothes!"
Lu Anfan choked back tears and said urgently, "I'm dirty, don't get my elder sister's wedding dress dirty!"
"Then why don't you hurry up and wash up and change your clothes? Aren't you going to send me off to my wedding?" Lu Zhaoling said.
"Yes! Big sister, I'll go right away!" Lu Anfan was so excited that her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
He turned around and almost tripped over the threshold. It was Aoki at the door who reached out and helped him up.
“Young Master Anfan, I’ll take you there,” Aoki said. “We need to hurry.”
"Thank you, Brother Aoki!"
Lu Anfan hurriedly followed Qingmu to leave, when Lu Zhaoling's voice came from behind.
"An Fan, I'm so glad you came back."
Lu Anfan didn't turn around, but large tears rolled down her cheeks, hitting the ground and blooming like flowers.
Outside the gate, Ma Xiaoliu received a handful of lucky money in a brocade pouch as he had hoped, and opened the door with a beaming smile.
Upon seeing the Prince of Jin step in, Ma Xiaoliu immediately uttered several celebratory words.
"Welcome, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness! May you and our young lady live a life of blissful harmony and unwavering love..."
The crown prince behind the Prince of Jin chuckled softly.
He didn't say anything, but how could Dai Xu, who had jumped over after him, not speak up?
He was already quite familiar with Ma Xiaoliu, and upon hearing Ma Xiaoliu's words, Dai Xu burst into laughter, slapping his thigh and saying, "The wife sings in unison? Hahaha, Brother Xiaoliu, the people of Huaiyuan are truly amazing!"
"In other places, the husband leads and the wife follows, but here it's the wife leading and the husband following. Your Highness, then what will your status be in the palace from now on...?"
Ma Xiaoliu's face immediately turned bright red.
Good heavens, he really didn't mean to say that.
I don't know why, but just now, at that crucial moment, I remembered something Miss Rong had said to Miss when they were joking around: that Prince Jin always followed Miss, and after they got married, he would probably be the one to lead and follow her...
And then he said it so sweetly.
The Crown Prince is here too!
Ma Xiaoliu was still a little nervous at this moment.
I wonder if the Crown Prince will think that their young lady is acting recklessly and is too audacious.
"Hmm, well said, reward me." Zhou Shiyue laughed, "I just want to follow the Princess."
The Crown Prince then chimed in, "Uncle, you must have wanted this opportunity for a long time, right?"
"good."
Qinglin then slipped another red purse into Ma Xiaoliu's hand.
Ma Xiaoliu was overjoyed.
"Congratulations, Your Highness!"
Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu, along with a group of people who came to help, also gathered around.
Among them were a pair of children whom Lu Zhaoling had saved, and Uncle Zheng's family of three.
Zheng Xian has also grown into a beautiful young woman, and she is much more energetic now than she was three years ago.
The Zheng family is incredibly grateful to Lu Zhaoling for the fact that her sister was able to "survive" in Huaiyuan in this way, and that the family can still get together from time to time.
They set up a longevity tablet for Lu Zhaoling in their family.
"May the Prince and Princess live happily ever after and have a son soon."
The Jin family was also there.
The eldest brother and his wife, along with their children, were also surprised to see the Crown Prince, and they all quickly offered their compliments.
The Crown Prince remained silent, simply staying close to Zhou Shiyue.
He's here to play a supporting role today; he can't steal the spotlight from the Imperial Uncle.
"Rewards, rewards for all." Zhou Shiyue waved his hand, and everyone in Huaiyuan received a red purse.
One child couldn't resist turning his back and opening the red purse to take a look.
"They're golden melon seeds! Golden ones!" he exclaimed.
His grandfather immediately covered his mouth in embarrassment.
This kid...
But golden melon seeds?!
Even Dai Xu couldn't resist. He snatched a red purse from Ma Xiaoliu's hand, opened it, and exclaimed, "My God! It really is gold melon seeds!"
Isn't it a copper coin?
So many people are giving out golden melon seeds?
He handed the red purse back to Ma Xiaoliu and looked at Qinglin.
"Did I?"
"You're the man, what do you have?" Qinglin glanced at him sideways.
Dai Xu slapped his thigh.
Oh dear, what a blunder! He jumped right next to Ma Xiaoliu and stood shoulder to shoulder with him, "Now I can be the woman too..."
The crown prince grunted in response.
Dai Xu immediately moved back.
OK.
"Let's go and fetch my queen." Zhou Shiyue walked towards the backyard.
But after walking a short distance, Jiang Yongmiao stood there with a tray, blocking their way.
"Congratulations, Your Highness," Jiang Yongmiao said with a smile. "However, there is still a small test before you can see your bride."
Zhou Shiyue raised an eyebrow.
"What test?"
“Your Highness, please take a look.” Jiang Yongmiao pointed to the five talismans on the tray and said, “These are talismans drawn by Young Master Yin and Young Master Lü, which Your Highness has never seen before. Please pick out one of them, a useless talisman that has no power and is just randomly drawn.”
"Hahaha! As expected of Miss Lu's sect, even the tests for the wedding procession are so ingenious." Dai Xu laughed again.
"Your Highness is not a member of the Xuanmen sect, and these are talismans he has never seen before. How could he possibly distinguish them? Your Highness, you are in serious trouble now..."
Dai Xu chuckled as he looked at the Prince of Jin.
Although he is currently on the man's side, his heart has always been with Miss Lu. What he gave the prince was just an empty shell.
