Chapter 3833: Human Favors
The two hurriedly had dinner and went back to the inner room.
There was no one else around, so Lu Qingrong asked: "What, is the emperor not happy when he heard that Lijuan gave birth to a daughter?" ”
"Not really." Jiang Xuan shook his head, "The emperor's heirs are already scarce, and the crown prince died young, and now only King Jing and the emperor's eldest grandson are left...... Moreover, this is the emperor's first daughter, and she must still be happy. ”
"That'...... When does the emperor plan to recognize them? Lu Qingrong asked, already having a bad premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, Jiang Xuan shook his head again: "I don't have this plan for the time being." ”
"And after that? Never give them a name? Lu Qingrong's resolute look flashed in front of his eyes, as well as the courage and trust when he confessed to himself, and he instantly felt sad.
Seeing this, Jiang Xuan personally walked to the door, closed the door of the inner room tightly, and then turned back and pulled Lu Qingrong to sit on the agarwood arhat bed in the outer room.
"This time, the emperor also has some unspeakable secrets, and he is barely forced to do so." Jiang Xuan sighed, and continued: "Regardless of the court, this harem matter, you still have to let Fengning Hall nod." The emperor's resistance to the Wu family has just begun, and at such a critical moment, it is really not appropriate to leave a handle on the side of Fengning Palace. Moreover, a few days ago, for the matter of the tonic medicine, from the Empress Dowager to An Lehou and Mrs. Wu, they were all punished by different ways. The emperor didn't want to push Lijuan to the wind at this stall, firstly, it would not be beneficial to her, and secondly, it would make the things that were originally handled impartially seem to be like the emperor was taking revenge. ”
Lu Qingrong listened, and his face did not ease.
For these. She could understand, but not fully agree.
As a woman, everyone wants to meet a man who is responsible. Mutually exclusive.
However, when Lijuan met, the most powerful person in the Great Qi Dynasty, he had a lot of concerns, and he couldn't even recognize his own women and children, which was always embarrassing.
"You're going to admit it in the future, right?" Lu Qingrong knew that this was not something that Jiang Xuan could say accurately, but he still asked.
"Looking at the emperor's meaning, there will definitely be such a day." Jiang Xuan replied.
Lu Qingrong's eyebrows frowned slightly. suddenly remembered: "The matter of walking in the water in Muxi Hutong, can you find out the result?" Without waiting for Jiang Xuan to respond, she sighed again: "Just throw their mother and daughter in Muxi Hutong like this." The emperor can really rest assured! ”
"Still interrogating, the mother-in-law's mouth is very hard, and the matter of walking in the water is still inconclusive......"
Jiang Xuan's speed of speech slowed down. The expression became more and more unnatural.
"What's wrong?" Lu Qingrong looked at Jiang Xuan.
"Your Majesty...... I don't feel at ease to leave them in Muxi Hutong. Jiang Xuan looked back at Lu Qingrong. His eyes were a little uneasy, "The emperor means to let their mother and daughter temporarily live in the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion." ”
The emperor's order is difficult to disobey, but letting them come to the Hou Mansion and not being able to make their identities clear will undoubtedly make the statement of the outer room true in the eyes of others.
In this way, Lu Qingrong's grievances are self-evident.
Jiang Xuan took into account her feelings from the bottom of his heart.
But Lu Qingrong didn't take it seriously at all.
She was worried about something else: "Living in the Hou Mansion...... This is slightly stronger than Muxi Hutong. It's just that we're in the house. But it's not all good people...... Can you guarantee their safety? ”
Lu Qingrong said directly.
Jiang Xuan was amused by her sentence "not all good people".
Seeing her reaction like this, Jiang Xuan finally felt better, and then said: "The guards must be more careful, just do your best to protect them." ”
Lu Qingrong bowed slightly, only then did he have the time to slander the emperor in his heart, and he was just merciful everywhere, and now he would harm Jiang Xuan's reputation. I don't know how long this black pot will help him carry it......
Of course, Lu Qingrong knew very well that this was not a bad thing for Jiang Xuan.
"How did the emperor think of our Hou Mansion?" Lu Qingrong was quite curious: "Is it because you went to report the letter to the emperor?" ”
"That's why. In addition, I don't want more people to know about it. Jiang Xuan paused before continuing: "Today, the emperor mentioned that he originally thought of letting Lijuan's mother and daughter live in King Jing's Mansion, so that it would be more convenient for him to arrange guards or visit him in person. I was just worried that it would look too ostentatious, so I gave up. ”
"Is it really because of the fear of swagger?" Lu Qingrong questioned and looked at Jiang Xuan with a frown.
Jiang Xuan smiled, knowing that she was not rushing at herself, and then said, "I'm afraid it's just a rhetoric." It stands to reason that Lijuan gave birth to a daughter, and the second prince has no reason to be hostile to them. But why not go to King Jing's Mansion can also explain two completely different meanings. Xu is emperor does not want to cause any damage to the reputation of the second prince, even temporarily; Xu is the emperor is unwilling to have a heart-to-heart relationship with him, let alone owe him any favors......"
Since he heard that the emperor does not plan to recognize their mother and son for the time being, Lu Qingrong has a little reluctance in his heart, and at this moment he really doesn't want to be entangled in the matter of the royal family's father-son relationship, so he ignored Jiang Xuan's previous words, and only followed the last sentence, quipping: "So, the emperor owes you a favor this time?" ”
Jiang Xuan laughed out loud, and then said with a straight face: "In the end, we actually have to thank the emperor." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Lu Qingrong raised his eyebrows slightly.
"It's like the tonic at the beginning, although the evidence is conclusive, but if it hadn't happened to her, the emperor might not have been so angry, which led to a series of punishments later. Now that Lijuan has a princess by her side, it must be even more different from usual. Jiang Xuan didn't hide his thoughts, but at the same time worried, "It's just that when they enter the mansion, we still have to put safety first and try to avoid contact with Qinyi Courtyard or anyone next to them." ”
Jiang Xuan said in a slightly obscure manner.
Lu Qingrong heard it clearly.
"I'm afraid it's not so easy to stop......" Lu Qingrong immediately said, "We definitely won't frame anyone, but if someone has to use some shady tricks behind their backs, it's no wonder that they will end up in trouble." I also hope that Yiqiē can be calm, but the child's life experience can't be mentioned. ”
At this point, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but think of the dilemma that Lu Qingrong might encounter in the future, and said softly: "This time, I finally wronged you......"
Lu Qingrong really didn't think there was anything about this, and said in a rather brisk tone: "If you really have an outer room, I will be wronged, this is not true, how can I be wronged?" ”
Jiang Xuan held her hand and showed a wry smile: "It's just that I'm afraid everyone else will think like this when the time comes." ”
"You also said that it was 'someone else', what does it have to do with you and me?" Lu Qingrong didn't care.
Jiang Xuan listened, and the hand holding her clenched tighter and tighter...... (To be continued...... )
