Chapter 76

After Lu Sheng came back, the first thing he did was to inquire about Wen Xiao's situation.

Wen Xiao's birthday is in April, so it won't be long before he arrives. During the days when he was not in Beijing, he kept looking for someone to inquire about her recent situation, lest she get engaged to someone else.

Fortunately, she has always been very quiet, the most she would do is go out for tea with her little sister, she has never dated any outsider, and she has never seen any intention of getting engaged.

But in fact, Xiao Jiang has already met many people secretly.

Father Wen felt that Little Jiang's worries were unfounded, but he couldn't stand his wife's soft-heartedness, so he had to agree to see more young talents in court, so that he could choose a suitable husband for his daughter.

And Lu Sheng has also reached the age to marry a wife. King Jing already has a concubine, and King Cheng has a side concubine anyway. He is the only one who can't even see a woman around him.

The emperor was also very anxious, for fear that his son might have some hidden illness. Seeing that Lu Sheng brought a woman back to Beijing this time, he was overjoyed, so he asked the queen to make arrangements and send her to his room.

So the queen called Zhuo Bing into the palace.

Zhuo Bing learned the rules quickly, and after saluting, the queen asked the maid to help him up, and pulled him affectionately to her side.

"You are the daughter of General Zhuo, right?" The queen scrutinized her eyebrows, "You are such a beautiful child, how old is this year?"

Zhuo Bing had already expected this kind of situation, and replied shyly, "My maiden has one more year left until she is born."

The queen looked at it, and felt that apart from her average appearance, a little rough skin, and a little bit of pettiness, there were no other shortcomings.

So he gave her a pair of white jade bracelets and sent her back to Prince Xuan's mansion.

When Lu Sheng heard that Zhuo Bing had been summoned by his mother, he didn't think much of it, he just thought that it was the mother who wanted to see General Zhuo's orphan.

He is now concentrating on researching how to get Wen Xiao to marry him. After reading countless scripts, he finally has a plan.

The third day after Lu Sheng arrived in Beijing was the Mid-Autumn Festival.

There is also a routine state banquet held in the palace - this is one of the few occasions that Wen Xiao cannot escape.

Lu Sheng planned to prepare a surprise for Wen Xiao on this day.

He was going to draw a picture of a beautiful woman looking at the moon with his own hands.

This kind of picture adopts a special technique. When viewed from the front, there is only a back view, but as long as one shines it against the moonlight and viewed from the back, the beauty looks like a country and a city.

He also wrote a love letter to be included in the scroll to express his love.

So Lu Sheng, who had just returned to Beijing, got busy.

He sat in the study, while observing the postures of Zhuo Bing and the little maid in the yard, while sketching on the paper.

Probably because when he saw Wen Xiao, he only wanted to look at her face. Lu Sheng had no impression of Wen Xiao's back, so he could only look at the only place in his house where there was a woman - Zhuo Bing and her little maid.

So Zhuo Bing always felt that someone was watching her that day. She searched around, and saw Lu Sheng sitting in the room painting, raising his eyes to her side from time to time.

Zhuo Bing was ecstatic in his heart, but his expression remained calm.

She had accidentally heard from Lu Sheng's servant before that Lu Sheng had brought back a special paint from the border, which could be hidden under ordinary paint, and could only be seen by looking at the moonlight.

It took Lu Sheng two days to finish the painting.

On the day of the palace banquet, he went out early, and Zhuo Bing followed him into the palace.

When he went out, Zhuo Bing looked at the scroll in his hand and asked casually, "What is your Highness holding?"

 Learned a lot about it! ! !Jiji (jí jī) has two sounds and one sound. I have mispronounced these two characters for many years...
