Chapter 108: Conform to People's Wishes
Lu Shui did not go back to the house, but went to the palace and entered the imperial study to find Yu Xuan. Yu Xuan was sitting at the desk reviewing the folds, busy with official business. Suddenly, I heard a report from the eunuch: Lord Lu is here, the emperor.
After Yu Xuan asked him to invite Lu Shui in, he raised his head and waited for a reply.
The number of respectful and humble rites cannot be less, not to mention that the current Yuxuan is already the Ninety-Five Supreme. Lu Shui stepped forward to salute, Yu Xuan said "Aiqing Ping", gave a seat, and sent the eunuchs away, before the two of them showed a smile.
Lu Shui didn't sit down, and said directly: I met Miss Ren and told her about entering the palace to participate in the draft, and the second elder of the Ren family was also present, but Miss Ren refused, saying that she didn't want to enter the palace.
The words were prosaic, just explaining the matter again. After listening to this, Yu Xuan didn't look at Lu Shui, lowered his head and pondered, a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said: I guess she would say that.
Seeing this, Lu Shui pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile: Since this is the case, then why let me go for a trip and make me unhappy!
Yu Xuan looked at him and said with a smile: What? What did she say?
Lu Shuidao: It's not that he sprinkled his anger on me, with a cold face, I'm afraid that he won't be waiting to see me in the future!
After speaking, he showed a sad face. Yu Xuan looked at it, his mood improved, and he said with a smile: Who told you to spend all day drinking, it's not serious. Qingqing is not an ordinary vulgar woman, how can she stand your wind and dust?
When Lu Shui heard this, his heart ached, but he had to pretend to be free and easy, and said lazily: Okay! It seems that I really don't want to see me, even you have to dislike me, I'm afraid that in the future, I will have to linger among the flowers, and I won't be able to enter your eyes again.
This sounds like a joke of complaining, Lu Shui is like this, it seems to be affectionate and righteous, but he is a scoundrel, Yu Xuan let him make trouble, smiled, and stopped entanglement. Then he changed the topic and said: You have to help me think of ideas, the official documents have been issued, tomorrow is the day of the draft, you know that I don't look down on those official ladies, this move is also forced to be helpless, if you don't elect a queen tomorrow, I'm afraid I will have a headache in the future. Now, think for me, what is the best way to do it.
Lu Shui smiled bitterly and said: Your Majesty, I really can't help with this matter, who let you let those pedantic ministers go by, now you know that you are in trouble.
Yu Xuan said: No matter when this matter is spoken, it must be solved, since I ascended the throne, those people have been nagging in my ear every day, and all the words written in the fold are asking me to stand up and spread out, which is really unbearable! I just thought of Qingqing, if she becomes my queen, everyone will be happy.
Even so, the smile that appeared at the corner of his mouth quickly dissipated, and Qingqing was reluctant to enter the palace to run for election, so he didn't give him a chance at all. Thinking of this, Yu Xuan's heart inevitably felt sorrowful, and when he thought of the words of those courtiers, he became even more restless and irritable.
Yu Xuan leaned back in his chair, and couldn't help but let out a thick and heavy sigh from his mouth. It is in front of close friends that the frustrated side will be revealed. Seeing him like this, Lu Shui couldn't bear it, so he said: Okay, I'll think of a way. The official document has been issued, and there is no room for turnaround, let alone those old ministers, even if they talk to them a lot of big truths, they are still playing the piano to the cow, I am afraid that they are looking forward to tomorrow? Now there is only Miss Ren's side, I will try to persuade her, but I can only do my best, I can't say what it is. The emperor still has to make plans.
Yu Xuan smiled and said: Waiting for your good news!
Lu Shui nodded and smiled, got up and saluted and retired.
At lunchtime, in the small courtyard of the Ren family.
The three of them were eating around a table, although they didn't talk to each other, and that happened before, but Master Ren and Mrs. Ren didn't say anything to blame for this, in fact, the two of them were very happy in their hearts, even if Qingqing's actions were against their wishes, they would not be sad about it, and they were still very satisfied to see that their daughter could still eat with them.
Mrs. Ren talked a lot, but she didn't say anything, during which she just put a few chopsticks and dishes into Qingqing's bowl, telling her to eat more vegetables, and Qingqing accepted them one by one. The picture is warm and harmonious.
After the meal, Mrs. Ren kindly pulled Qingqing to the room, and the two sat side by side, talking about some things about men and women, Xu was afraid that Qingqing would not want to listen, and most of the content was from her youth. It sounds interesting, especially when it comes to her relationship with Master Ren, there is a rare gentle and sweet color in her eyes, which makes people indulge in it and are willing to listen.
After saying a lot, Qingqing's expression was much warmer than before, and there was no sense of alienation. Seeing this, Mrs. Ren smiled softly and said: Qingqing, I know you have your own ideas, you don't want to be controlled by others, you are not an ordinary lady in the boudoir, you are not like them, you only know about the affairs of the boudoir. Lord Lu came to you today, I understand with your father, he is here to find you, to help you enter the palace and enter the draft girl, it is also for your good, if you can be selected and become the queen, it will be our blessing! I don't want to come to us as parents and have no wishes, but I hope that you can marry a good family, you have your ideas, we can't force it, we won't force you to do it, but today, so many things have happened, we are worried and afraid, if something happens to you, we are afraid that we will not be able to live in peace. It's just that this matter, we think you can think about it, and it's not that you will become a mother as soon as you enter the palace, but this is an opportunity.
Speaking of this, I saw Qingqing hanging her head, her expression was uncertain, and her eyes were confused. Mrs. Ren knew that there was still a chance, so she hurriedly said: You are for us, the parents who have raised you for so many years, how about going this time?
His words were gentle and kind, his words were earnest, and his expression was pleading. When Qingqing saw this picture, it was difficult to refuse, and when she thought of what Chu Yun had said, there was a slight tingling in her heart. So, with a sigh in his heart, he said, "He treats me like this, why should I caress them?"
Then he showed a shallow smile and said: Okay, I will enter the palace tomorrow.
Hearing this, Mrs. Ren cried with joy, raised her sleeves to wipe away her tears, and said with a smile: I went to tell your father to make him happy. Lord Lu also has to send someone to reply. You can rest first, I'll go first.
After saying that, he got up to leave. Qingqing took advantage of the situation to grab her and said: Master Lu, let someone bring a message, saying that I want to see him.
Mrs. Ren nodded, and left with a smile.
Qingqing sat there, motionless, even Qi Xuan walked up to him, but he didn't see it, his thoughts were scattered, and his eyes were empty.
Qi Xuan stepped forward and shouted: Miss!
Qing Qingfang came back to her senses, looked fixedly, and saw that it was Qi Xuan, so she asked: What's wrong?
Qi Xuan said with a smile: I saw that Miss was not giving up, were you thinking about someone?
Qingqing smiled: As far as you like to talk nonsense, I think it's who you want, otherwise how could you think so?
Qi Xuan saw her putting on a playful look, and her face couldn't help but blush, but she stabilized her mind and said coquettishly: Miss always likes to joke with me!
Qingqing looked at her with a smile, Qi Xuan seemed to have grown up a lot, her eyebrows were becoming more and more marked, and she was getting more and more beautiful.
