Chapter 278: A gentleman is as gentle as jade
"Ok?"
"My mother named me Ziyue, hoping that I would be as tenacious as the Yue tree, fearless of wind and rain."
Lu Yunting didn't say that the name Zi Yue was given to him by his mother before she committed suicide for his father.
Jiang Yueyang slowly stopped, a slight curve appeared at the corner of her mouth, and her smiling eyes seemed to be able to seduce people and make them sink into it.
Her voice was soft and playful, "Ah~Yue."
Lu Yunting lowered his eyes shyly and hummed in a low voice.
Seeing him so shy, Jiang Yueyang's smile deepened a little, and she reached out and gently pulled his sleeve.
"Ayue, I have something to tell you."
"Yeah." Lu Yunting's eyes fell on the white jade-like hand on his sleeve.
"Didn't you want potatoes and sweet potatoes before? Go to the Huaxia Grocery Store on Changle Street and find a guy named Ye Wuhen. He will give them to you.
I've also prepared a few other things for you."
Lu Yunting was originally in a good mood, but when he heard Ye Wuhen's name, the light in his eyes dimmed a little and his cheeks bulged slightly.
Jiang Yueyang noticed that he was in a bad mood, tilted her head and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"You..." Lu Yunting hesitated, "You and that Ye Wuhen, who are you..."
Jiang Yueyang chuckled, "Ayue, you're so cute when you're jealous. You're nothing like the cold-blooded and arrogant God of War that's rumored."
The system suddenly spoke, [That's only towards you. He's not like this in front of others.
In the eyes of others, Lu Yunting has always been a cold-blooded, arrogant, and unapproachable war god general.
"That's fantastic! I really like this kind of preference. Can you please get as far away from the central air conditioner as possible?"
With just one sentence, Lu Yunting's fur was instantly smoothed over.
After Jiang Yueyang finished talking to the system, she gently comforted the jealous little wolfdog, "Ye Wuhen and I are just friends."
"But he is..." The young master of the Blood Demon Pavilion.
Jiang Yueyang knew that Lu Yunting had other forces besides the Lu family army, so she could naturally find out Ye Wuhen's identity.
She said with a hint of meaning: "Don't worry, he's different now. You saw the big black bear that time. I can protect myself."
Having said that, Lu Yunting was still worried, because once that thing was known to other people, she would be in greater danger.
Your Majesty now only knows that she can buy a lot of food that has never been seen before, but he does not know that she also has things that are comparable to divine artifacts.
Looking at the bright side, His Majesty might find a way to get those things from Yangyang.
On the contrary, Your Majesty might abandon Yangyang as a knife and eliminate the trouble forever.
After all, even the most obedient knife may end up stabbing you.
Looking at the smiling person in front of him, Lu Yunting slowly clenched his fists, no one could hurt her.
"Ayue, Ayue."
Lu Yunting came back to his senses and said seriously: "Even if you can protect yourself, you still have to call me."
"Okay~" Jiang Yueyang tugged at his sleeve, "Let's go, take me home."
"Ah."
On the other hand, Emperor Yuan summoned several princes of marriageable age to Ning'an Palace.
His gaze swept over the Third, Fifth, and Sixth Princes, as well as Yuan Qi, who had just returned to his ancestral home, and he asked in a deep voice, "Do you know why I called you here?"
"I don't know." The four responded in unison.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yuan looked at the Third Prince and asked, "You don't know either?"
"I don't know." The third prince pretended to be stupid.
"Alright." Emperor Yuan looked at the four people with a half-smile, "Since you all don't know, then I will explain it clearly.
If you still can't find a wife before you turn twenty, I will grant you a marriage. Yuan Qi, you are at most twenty-two."
Yuan Qi is already twenty years old this year and still has two years to go.
The third prince was the first to express his dissatisfaction, "Father, I want to be with the person I love."
"Then go find her! Otherwise, if I grant you the marriage, you have to marry me whether I like you or not."
The third prince opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he said nothing.
The Sixth Prince made his request, "Father, I like pretty girls, but they can't be too smart."
The fifth prince said shyly, "Father, Queen Mother, I like my cousin Fu'er."
The Queen was a little surprised, "Yuan Lang likes Fu'er?"
Fu'er, whose full name is Shangguan Fu, is the daughter of the Empress's second brother and she just came of age this year.
Shangguan Fu loves to eat just like the Fifth Prince. Her chubby little face is very cute. She is not fat, but she looks chubby and is very easy to pinch.
The fifth prince nodded shyly, "Cousin Fu'er is very cute."
The Third Prince spoke with a hint of reluctance, "Fifth brother, I think Cousin Fu'er might not like you."
"why?"
"you are too fat."
The fifth prince retorted unconfidently, "She... maybe she just likes fat ones."
The Third Prince shook his head. "Fifth brother, I'm not trying to discourage you. I once asked her what kind of husband she liked, and she said she liked someone as gentle and kind as the Crown Prince."
The fifth prince immediately lowered his eyes dejectedly, and his whole body suddenly became listless.
Just as the Empress was about to offer comfort, the Third Prince said, "Regardless of what kind of man Cousin Fu'er likes, you should lose some weight.
You look pretty good. As long as you lose weight successfully, you will definitely be a handsome young man.
Most girls like good-looking guys. Didn’t you see that Jiang Yueyang ignored everyone else just because Lu Yunting was so good-looking? "
The Fifth Prince disagreed with him. "Jiang Yueyang doesn't like Lu Yunting just because he's good-looking. Isn't the Crown Prince also..."
The fifth prince realized that something was wrong and stopped talking in time.
“But there’s always a reason why it looks good.”
The Fifth Prince did not deny it, so after thinking it over, he made up his mind and said, "Okay! For my cousin Fu'er, I will lose weight!"
Emperor Yuan interrupted, "Fu'er is the Queen's niece, your cousin. I cannot force her into marriage regardless of her wishes.
If you want to marry her, then work hard to win her heart. Otherwise, you will just have to watch her marry someone else."
After saying that, he looked at Yuan Qi, who had been silent the whole time, "What about you? Do you have someone you like?
I know you grew up among the common people, and most of the women you know are ordinary people. But it doesn't matter, as long as you like, you can marry her."
Yuan Qi bowed and said, "Father, I don't have anyone I like."
Emperor Yuan sighed, turned to the Empress, and said, "Queen, why is it so difficult for my sons to find a marriage partner?"
"Maybe it's fate."

Kong Jijiu, Xu Zheng and others were outside the gate of Juxian Tower. From a distance, they saw Jiang Yueyang's carriage slowly approaching.
Soon, the carriage stopped in front of them, and Jiang Yueyang got out of the carriage in men's clothes.
"When thinking of a gentleman, he is as warm as jade." It should be so.
Jiang Yueyang walked up to the two of them and bowed solemnly, saying, "Sorry for the long wait, Master Kong."
"Well, let's go."
Afterwards, the three of them got in the car and headed to Moxiangzhai.
