Chapter 409: Second Child

In February of the 35th year of Jingxi, Lichun Temple once again became the focus of everyone's attention.

After a few months, Lijuan was diagnosed with a happy pulse again.

When Lu Qingrong heard the news, he just raised his forehead slightly, not too surprised.

In the past few months, the emperor has really come to the Hou Mansion many times.

Every time it is a night walk, wearing the stars and the moon, and the sky is gone before dawn.

Up and down the Hou Mansion, only Jiang Xuan and Lu Qingrong knew.

Lu Qingrong's headache at this time is that he is clear about the inside story, which does not mean that others can understand.

If this news spreads, it will definitely cause trouble in the city again.

Jiang Xuan secretly reported to the emperor.

Lu Qingrong made up his mind here, and Lijuan was pregnant and kept silent in advance.

It is a day to be able to hide it.

In case the emperor hears the good news and his conscience finds out that he has given Lijuan the title, he will be able to avoid a storm around him.

Heaven does not fulfill people's wishes.

Lijuan and the others tried their best to keep their mouths shut, and finally let Qinyiyuan get the news.

It was only because the rough maid in charge of pulp washing in Lichun Courtyard leaked her daily life, and was heard by the delicate Mama Lu and reported to Mrs. Wu.

Mrs. Wu gloated, of course, she inevitably wanted to sow discord, so she immediately sent someone to Lu Mansion......

This time, it wasn't Lu Qianyu who came.

Yin Pingru sent someone to invite Lu Qingrong to take the time to go back to Lufu.

Lu Qingrong didn't know what was going on, and he vaguely felt bad in his heart, but he didn't dare to delay.

In the afternoon of the same day, she went to Lu Mansion.

Jiang Xuanyuan also wanted to follow, but Lu Qingrong spent a lot of effort to stay in the Hou Mansion.

Lu Qingrong is used to only carrying green bamboo. But this time, I brought Mother Ye with me. I thought that if my mother didn't believe in herself and always thought that she was whitewashing the peace, then Mother Ye's words would probably be able to listen to a few points.

Entered the East Courtyard of the Lu Mansion in a low-key manner. Her mother had been waiting for her in the main house for a long time.

Yin Pingru wore a bean-green silk forging armor today, a white stand-up collar middle shirt, a water-colored Hunan skirt, her hair was pulled up in a bun at will, and she only wore a simple hosta, which was simple and elegant.

In Lu Qingrong's eyes, he was not half old.

If it weren't for the fact that he was frowning at the moment, he was looking at himself. It's even better.

Lu Qingrong left Mother Ye and Luzhu outside, and when he saw that Yin Pingru was also alone, he let go of it. With a smile on his face, the meaning of flattery was very obvious, and he sat next to Yin Pingru in the past.

"Mother is in such a hurry to come over to me, but what's the matter?" Lu Qingrong asked.

Yin Pingru saw her like this. I couldn't help but sigh: "You have such a temperament." It's just too weak to ......"

Lu Qingrong pretended to be puzzled: "Mother, what's wrong?" ”

"Is that Lijuan in your house pregnant again?" Yin Pingru asked directly.

Lu Qingrong guessed that this was the case, although he couldn't figure out where his mother got the news, he didn't want to lie, and nodded slowly.

"Mother, there are too many words for me to say now. But you really don't have to worry about that. The child of Lijuan is not the son of the world. Lu Qingrong tried his best to make his tone more sincere.

It didn't work very well.

The sadness on Yin Pingru's face did not decrease. It seems that there is a struggle in the heart.

After a while, I heard Yin Pingru continue: "You are my daughter-in-law, and I won't talk to you without going around the corner." It really doesn't help you to deceive yourself like this. Since the prince is interested in that woman, and she has been pregnant one after another, it is too late for you to stand up like this. It's better to follow his intentions and give that person a name, and show a bit of generosity. Don't ruin the relationship between your husband and wife for this, it's serious. ”

Lu Qingrong listened carefully.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with her mother's words.

Even the mother herself never stopped her father in such a matter.

The East Courtyard of the Lu Mansion can be so quiet, it is all because of my father's own willingness.

As a native of Daqi, Yin Pingru definitely represents the mainstream concept that almost everyone believes in. There are groups of wives and concubines, and among the slightly richer households, they are not new, let alone powerful families with honors and favors.

Lu Qingrong really didn't know what to say.

Lijuan's last child was born outside, so it's always better to talk about it.

This time, it is really difficult to explain the pregnancy that is alive in the Hou Mansion.

Don't complain that my mother will be so sure.

Fortunately, Yin Pingru is not strong, and he only stops at the point.

Seeing that Lu Qingrong fell into "contemplation", Yin Pingru gently persuaded: "It's not for you to decide anything immediately, but at least you have to face this matter squarely and think about it seriously." ”

Lu Qingrong saw that his mother's attitude had eased, so he hurriedly bowed his head slightly and gave up to explain.

Afraid that his mother would hold on to this matter, Lu Qingrong hurriedly changed the topic.

"The exam is about to start, I don't know how my eldest brother is preparing?" Lu Qingrong asked.

Yin Pingru smiled helplessly, and then picked up her words: "I didn't understand, but Lord Jiang, Lord Chu, and your father all said that his knowledge is very solid, and as long as he plays normally, fame should not be difficult to find." Your eldest brother is still studying step by step these days, and I can't see that he is nervous, I think he is quite well prepared. ”

Speaking of Lu Chengjie, Yin Pingru's tone was obviously appreciative.

"If it hadn't happened three years ago...... The eldest brother Xu has already made a name for himself. Lu Qingrong sighed sincerely.

Yin Pingru also understood: "Three years ago, in the case of fraud in the science field, your father was framed by someone, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that your eldest brother is unwilling to let your father give someone a handle for no reason, so he took the initiative to give up his future, which is really difficult for him." ”

Just as Lu Qingrong nodded in agreement, Yin Pingru added: "It's hard to ...... for you."

Lu Qingrong naturally knew the meaning of these words, but he didn't answer, but just said: "Sometimes there must be in life. Sooner or later, my mother would know that this was not a bad thing for me. ”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Yin Pingru's reaction, she immediately talked about the test again.

Lu Qingrong gagged and predicted the emperor list of the scientific examination, and Yin Pingru chatted with her, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

When he returned to the Hou Mansion, Lu Qingrong was a little anxious, and directly pulled Jiang Xuan to talk about it.

"What's the matter with the emperor, don't you plan to let Lijuan enter the palace?" Lu Qingrong sent the maid away, and there were only her and Jiang Xuan in the house.

"The emperor learned that Lijuan was pregnant again, and he was happy that it was for sure, but listening to the tone, it didn't seem like he wanted to let her enter the palace immediately." Jiang Xuan told the truth.

Lu Qingrong was disappointed and complained in a low voice: "As the emperor of a country, how can he be like this!" ”

"I'm afraid I won't know until Lijuan's baby is born whether the hope is big or small." Jiang Xuan was just guessing.

"What do you mean?" Lu Qingrong frowned.

"It means that if Lijuan gives birth to a baby boy in this birth, I hope it will definitely be older."

Jiang Xuan thought that he still knew a lot about the emperor's thoughts. (To be continued.) )
