After Xue'e left, she sat and waited for more than a while. Suddenly the eunuch invited Lu Qi to a family banquet. The royal family's family banquet was held in Shengping Tower. The host was naturally the Queen Mother of Zhou Dynasty. Hundreds of people participated, and most of them were women. Basically, He is the descendant and relative of the royal family. As soon as Lu Qi entered Shengping Tower, he was led by the eunuch to meet the two princesses. As soon as they met, Lu Qi paid homage to the two princesses. Yuwei graciously allowed Lu Qi to skip the ceremony, while Xianghe shyly stood beside her sister. Lu Qi After straightening her waist, she quickly discovered that there was a jade bracelet from him on Yuwei's wrist, and a jade hairpin from him stuck in Xianghe's bun. There is a palace attendant behind each of the two princesses. Yuwei's palace attendant is naturally Xue'e, and Xianghe's palace attendant is a pretty girl of thirteen or fourteen years old. Her big eyes look at Lu Qi curiously, but she is not afraid of life. Xue'e However, E stood tall and straight, her beautiful eyes slightly lowered, not looking directly at Lu Qi. The two princesses took Lu Qi with them and began to pay New Year greetings to their relatives and elders. The first one they met was Princess Shouan, the wife of Zhang Yongde, a graceful and beautiful woman in her forties. Zhang Yongde was the brother-in-law of Emperor Zhou. Lu Qi respectfully met Princess Shou'an. Princess Shou'an didn't seem to like Lu Qi. She just responded indifferently and said no courtesy. Then she looked at Lu Qi and said coldly: "You are too greedy, which may not be a blessing." Lu Qi Surprisingly, he came to pay New Year greetings as a courtesy, but the eldest princess responded with unlucky words when there were many people around. She was obviously very prejudiced and could be understood as hating him. "My aunt, I feel that greed is a blessing. There is a custom in my hometown that a son-in-law is half a son. I want to marry two princesses. The blessing of having two princesses is added to me. I feel that I am not the same as His Majesty the Emperor." We have become very close to each other. As the saying goes, when the younger generation hands over the military power in the future, with the blessing of the two princesses, they should be able to live a safe life." Lu Qi retorted with a respectful expression. Princess Shou'an's face immediately turned gloomy. Lu Qi's words pierced her heart sharply. On the surface, she was justifying why she married two princesses, but secretly, she was ridiculing him. Compared with Zhang Yongde, he had two princesses as his wife. With shelter, it is easier to have a peaceful life. Lu Qi bowed respectfully and turned around to leave. The two princesses were busy with their farewells, and those around them were busy pretending not to hear. After a while, a eunuch came and invited Princess Shou'an to go to the Queen Mother. Next, Lu Qi visited many relatives and was treated kindly. No troublemakers appeared again. Princess Shou'an's status in Shengpinglou was almost as high as that of the queen, and her invisible authority was even greater than that of the queen. Lu Qi The daring words backfired on Princess Shou'an, and others simply did not dare to neglect Lu Qi in terms of face. After paying homage to the elders, King Ji brought his younger brothers and sisters to pay Lu Qi a happy New Year. Emperor Zhou had many children, and two of his surviving sons were adults, namely the Crown Prince and King Cao. King Ji was not considered an adult, and those under King Ji were not considered adults. She has three younger brothers and four younger sisters. Princess Xianghe is actually two months younger than Prince Ji, but a girl is considered an adult at fifteen, and can even get married at thirteen or fourteen. Sixteen or seventeen is the normal age for marriage. If she is older than two If you don't have a husband's family yet, then people will gossip. Lu Qi accepted the New Year greetings from his brother-in-law and sister-in-law with a smile, and then said that after the New Year, he could go to his house as a guest to collect gifts. The brothers and sisters knew about the saying of rebellious ministers, and they all thought that Lu Qi's brother-in-law was very good, so they thanked him happily. Then he left, but King Ji stayed for a while. "Tianfeng, you shouldn't have offended Princess Shou'an." King Ji complained to Lu Qi. "I don't want to offend her either. She insists on embarrassing me." Lu Qiping replied calmly. "Aunt Shou'an is a princess. Of course she resents you for marrying two princesses. She said to you, just bear with it and let it go. If you offend her like this, it will be difficult to reconcile in the future." King Ji shook his head and said. "I've already been offended, so I can only bear with it." Lu Qiping responded calmly. King Ji shook his head and said: "Tianfeng, I'm going to pay New Year's greetings." Seeing King Ji leave, Yuwei suddenly said softly: "Tianfeng, you and your sixth brother are very close." Lu Qi turned around and smiled , said: "His Royal Highness Prince Ji and I have always been friends. His Highness Prince Ji is kind-hearted, courageous, knowledgeable, and especially able to endure hardship." Yuwei nodded, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Tianfeng, will you support the sixth brother?" Lu Qi looked at Yuwei and said calmly: "Yuwei, don't worry about the fight for the crown prince. My attitude is to wait and see. Your Majesty does not want the consequences of brotherly fratricide, so even if the sixth brother is the most suitable heir, Your Majesty "I won't waste the elders and raise the young." Yuwei nodded and said softly: "I will listen to you and won't cause trouble by talking too much." Lu Qi smiled and turned to look at Xianghe. Lowering her head shyly, Lu Qi naturally turned around and said gently: "Yuwei, tomorrow we will worship our ancestors in the mansion. How about you and Xianghe going to the mansion tomorrow?" Yuwei hesitated and said softly: "Can my sister and I I can't go, so I have to ask the Queen Mother for permission.?¡± Lu Qi nodded and said, ¡°I understand. If you can¡¯t come before noon tomorrow, I can¡¯t wait any longer. " "I understand. "Yu Wei responded softly. "After a while, tables were arranged in Shengping Building, and families were gathered together. The male protagonist and his wife were at the front table, and Lu Qi and the two princesses were at the table. He took a casual glance and found that Many male protagonists share a table with two or three women in gorgeous dresses. Women who can sit with the male protagonist must have a concubine title. And close to the Queen Mother and the Emperor, Zhang Yongde and Princess Shou'an share a table. In other words, Zhang Yongde. There is only one wife, the eldest princess, and no other royal wives. In fact, the status of the princess of Zhou is far inferior to that of the princesses in the Tang Dynasty. She is a powerless aristocratic woman. ***** Lu Qi returns to the mansion. At that time, it was already dusk. When I returned to the east courtyard, I told Xiaodie and Xiangyue what happened today. Xiangyue was shocked and said in disbelief: "Tianfeng, you really asked to marry the two princesses." ? " Lu Qiyi smiled and nodded, looked at Xiaodie again, and said gently: "Xiaodie, the allusion about Yu and Shun you told me gave me a plan, so I asked to marry the two princesses. " Xiaodie was startled, and then said in surprise: "Do you want to get abdication in the future? " Lu Qi nodded and said: "Those who win the hearts of the people win the world. Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty claimed to kill the white snake, Wu Zetian claimed to be the reincarnation of Buddha, and in order to depose Zhang Yongde, Emperor Zhou had to check the people in front of the palace, and he did not hesitate to use the check to become the emperor's so-called motto. The card is a reason for crime, and its function is to win people's support. If the Zhou Emperor deprived Zhang Yongde of his military power for no reason, it would definitely cause the chilling feeling of the heroes and soldiers. " Xiaodie nodded and said softly: "If you want to abdicate, I'm afraid it won't be easy. " "The abdication is just a plan of mine. Just like Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, once he was defeated and fled to another country, he eventually became the Supreme Emperor. Today's Crown Prince of Zhou is an incompetent person. If Emperor Zhou goes, Zhou will definitely If a usurpation of the throne occurs, then I may be able to fake an edict and obtain abdication. The plan for abdication can only be changed according to circumstances, and is not a certain thing. " Lu Qi replied. " Xiaodie nodded, and Lu Qi said gently: "What we have to do now is to spread a message, that is, Emperor Zhou gave the word "Yu" to the Lu family, and use preconceived methods to build momentum for the future. Lay the foundation. " Xiaodie nodded, and Zhe Xiangyue suddenly whispered: "Tianfeng, do you want to be emperor? " Lu Qi turned to look at Zhe Xiangyue and said gently: "Xiangyue, if I don't want to be the emperor, I will be killed in the future. Now Zhou State has to tolerate Hexi Autonomy because of the hidden dangers of its internal heroes. Once After Zhou Guo has eliminated its internal troubles, it will deal with Hexi and Fuzhou. " Zhe Xiangyue nodded, hesitated, and asked: "Tianfeng, if you became the emperor of the Central Plains, would you tolerate the Zhe family in Fuzhou? " "I can tolerate it, Xiangyue. I have promised to make brother Zhe Weizhong the king of Zhelan County in the future. If I can really take over the Central Plains and the Fuzhou area, I can set up a Protector's Palace and cooperate with him. It¡¯s the same as Hexi today. Lu Qi said with a smile that he needed to win over the Zhe family. The Zhe family's attachment would at least strengthen his momentum and influence the support of many people. Zhe Xiangyue nodded trustingly, and Xiaodie suddenly said softly: " Xiangyue, what you said today must not be spoken out, not even Miss Fourteen, otherwise it will cause Tianfeng a fatal disaster. " "Sister, don't worry, Xiangyue understands the pros and cons and won't let anyone know. " Zhe Xiangyue agreed softly. Lu Qiyi smiled and said gently: "I am very tired today, please help me loosen my bones. " After Lu Qi finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the inner room. Xiaodie stood up and pulled Zhe Xiangyue with her jade hand. Zhe Xiangyue went to the inner room with Xiaodie a little shyly.
