Lu Qingjin rubbed his forehead and leaned back on the chair in a daze, Xiao Ling rushed in happily: "Niangniang, the bracken you planted yesterday is already alive, do you want to go and see it!" ”

Lu Qingjin was stunned for a moment before shaking his head and hesitating for a moment and said, "I won't go, after all, I already know, there are more important things!" Is the emperor in the imperial study now? ”

Xiao Ling shrunk his neck and sighed: "You were so faceless to the emperor yesterday, I'm afraid it's not suitable at this time, in case your position is really ..."

Lu Qingjin stood up and tidied up his clothes: "Let's go over!" Needless to say, I have my own measure, don't let Concubine Shu know about this matter for the time being. ”

Xiao Ling helped her and walked in the direction of the imperial study, and complained: "You really, this is not our business, Concubine Shu doesn't have much trust in you, and in the end, she doesn't know anything, but she doesn't owe any favors." ”

Lu Qingjin walked slowly for a while before sighing faintly: "I didn't mean to make her owe me anything, this country is poor and weak, if the emperor really agrees to this request, there will be no majesty at all, this is not a good thing."

Zhang Dequan outside the door of the imperial study saw two people early, and the little eunuch next to him looked at him with some embarrassment, Zhang Dequan sighed and stepped forward and said: "The emperor said that no one will be seen, Niangniang should go back!" ”

Lu Qingjin waved his hand and walked forward as if he couldn't hear it, the guards didn't know whether to stop it or not, and froze there for a while, Qin Zhao's helpless voice came out: "Forget it, let her in!" ”

Lu Qingjin lowered his head and walked inside, the wooden floor already had gray marks, as if he was telling this woman about the helplessness of the country and the hardships of the emperor, which rarely made Lu Qingjin a little soft-hearted.

Qin Zhao looked at Lu Qingjin's eyes a little evasive: "What I said yesterday was indeed too heavy, but that decision is already the best way to do it so far, and even Concubine Shu's family agreed." ”

Lu Qingjin raised his head and looked at him with burning eyes: "I know that you have a hard time, and I also know that Dayu is now unable to make ends meet, even the queen palace you built for me is the result of overwhelming public opinion, now I only ask you one word, is there any other way?" ”

Qin Zhao closed his eyes and said helplessly: "Yes!" There is another way, but it can only last ten years, and after ten years, if we can't become stronger, we will really have to go to war with the Hu people. ”

Lu Qingjin nodded and said firmly: "Then you will give me another ten years, and I guarantee that Dayu will become a powerful existence that the Hu people are afraid of." ”

Qin Zhao actually didn't believe it, after all, the country's treasury was almost empty, and no one had ever made a weak and dying country strong in just ten years, but when he saw Lu Qingjin's eyes, he inexplicably believed it, and he whispered: "Okay!" I believe in you. ”

Lu Qingjin only felt that her heart that had been entangled all the way slowly relaxed, and she unfolded a big smile and said, "Okay!" Just wait and see! To reward you for trusting me so much, I packed lunch! ”

Qin Zhao smiled and said dotingly: "There shouldn't be any vegetables in your yard that I haven't eaten, what do you reward me?" ”

Lu Qingjin was stunned for a moment, and when she thought of the bracken in her yard, she gritted her teeth and said with some heartache: "I brought back some bracken yesterday, and I will make dumplings for you at noon today." ”

Of course, Qin Zhao knew that Lu Qingjin had planted those bracken treasures in the vegetable garden yesterday, and he didn't know what to say at the moment, but added with a ghostly eye: "You have to do more!" After all, I didn't even eat yesterday. ”

Lu Qingjin felt even more distressed, she wrinkled her face and agreed to run away in a hurry.

Qin Zhao laughed lightly and said to Zhang Dequan: "Invite Concubine Shu over, just say that I have something important to find her." ”

Zhang Dequan agreed and went down, Lu Qingjin didn't know about it, she was looking tangled to dig that bracken!

Concubine Shu came over after a while, her face was pale, and she didn't speak when she saw Qin Zhao saluting perfunctorily. Qin Zhao sighed in his heart, he knew that he couldn't stand this woman, so even his voice was a lot softer: "You should all know, I want you to come today to tell you that things have taken a turn for the better, the queen has already given a promise, you don't have to go, send the news to the family when you go back!" ”

Concubine Shu raised her head in surprise, she didn't expect Lu Qingjin to really run for her affairs, and saluted with tears in her eyes: "The concubine thanks the emperor and the queen's mother, the concubine has appreciated this matter, and in the future, anyone who uses the concubine will not refuse." ”

Qin Zhao waved her hand to make her retreat, although what he had to face next was more cumbersome, but inexplicably his heart was much more relaxed.

As soon as Lu Qingjin here finished wrapping dumplings, Xiao Ling happily ran in: "Niangniang, the Internal Affairs Office has sent half of the Lu family's property over, and the slave has sent someone to our warehouse." ”

Lu Qingjin became interested and walked towards the warehouse: "This is interesting, I don't know how much property the Lu family has!" It's always going to be a lot, and we've made a lot of money. ”

Xiao Ling nodded and agreed: "A whole big box!" I don't know where I got so much silver, but we have already saved money in the palace. ”

This was quite shabby, but Lu Qingjin didn't stop it, this is already true, and it's a good thing to let these people in the palace know and know, so thinking about it, the two of them went to the warehouse.

The box was placed in the most conspicuous place, Lu Qingjin walked over and opened the box, it was completely different from what he imagined, the box was just some bits and pieces of silver and jewelry, and it was not worthless, but there was no gold at all, no matter how you looked at it, it was perfunctory.

Lu Qingjin frowned and asked in a low voice, "Do you remember that Charity once sent a letter saying that my identity has been known to the emperor?" ”

Xiao Ling nodded and said helplessly: "How long ago was this, why did Niang Niang remember it again?" But what's wrong? ”

Lu Qingjin fiddled with the contents of the box and said coldly: "It turns out that I was still thinking about how the Lu family's raid was picked up and put down gently, it turned out that I was waiting here!" ”

Xiao Ling said in surprise: "You mean that Lord Lu threatened the emperor with this news and hugged the Lu family, which means that the emperor will still be on your side after he knows it." ”

Lu Qingjin thought of Qin Zhao's awkward and handsome face and smiled: "Forget about this matter, sooner or later, the Lu family will pay the price, let's go back to the kitchen quickly!" The emperor will come in a while. ”
