Chapter 68
Mrs. Lu shook her head, she knew that Lu Huiling loved Qi Jingqin miserably, Rao is prime minister's father and the prince's cousin were enemies of her, and she was desperate to show her true feelings to Qi Jingqin.
originally thought that if Lu Huiling could move Qi Jingqin and marry into the palace, then having her blowing the pillow wind in her ears would also be beneficial to their great cause.
But who would have thought that Qi Jingqin was a piece of wood, he was blind and deaf, and he couldn't see Lu Huiling's sincere feelings and touching words.
Mrs. Lu waved her hand to signal the maids to go down, and walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, looking at Lu Huiling who was crying.
She reached out and patted Lu Huiling's back, and said softly and comfortingly: "Okay, don't cry anymore, the eldest lady of the dignified Prime Minister's Mansion, what man can't get it, is there a good son in the world?" ”
Lu Huiling raised her head and looked at Mrs. Lu, her eyes were hazy with a layer of fog, shrouded in mist on her eyelids, and she looked pitiful.
Mrs. Lu hugged her and said with a smile: "My son will definitely marry the best son in the world, and what to fight with Liang Huanqing's girl who has a mother and no mother?" ”
Lu Huiling nodded in Mrs. Lu's arms, snorted, and secretly vowed in her heart that she must make Liang Huanqing look good!

The herald rode out of Shangjing on a fast horse, passed several post stations along the way, and spread the news of King Jing's wedding to Jingzhou City in less than half a day.
As soon as Grandpa Ji and his granddaughter Ji Qinghuan returned to Jingzhou, they heard the news that the prince of Shangjing City and the eldest lady of the General's Mansion were going to get married.
The prefect of Jingzhou is sticking a wedding card, setting up porridge sheds at various points, administering medicine and porridge, and helping the people.
Grandpa Ji led Ji Qinghuan to buy vegetables on the street, Ji Qinghuan held a string of sugar gourds in one hand and followed behind with his grandfather's hand in the other, and saw a group of people discussing something there from a distance, which was very lively.
She took Grandpa's hand, looked up and asked, "Grandpa, what are they looking at?" ”
Ji Qinghuan was young and not tall enough, she jumped several times, but she couldn't see the words on the notice.
Grandpa smiled and hugged Ji Qinghuan, Ji Qinghuan has been reading and writing with his grandfather since he was a child, and he can understand what is written on the notice.
"Qinghuan, are you optimistic?" Grandpa is old, and he can't hold it for a while.
"Look at it." Ji Qinghuan nodded and asked her grandfather to let her down.
Grandpa smiled and asked, "What is written on the notice, can you read it?" ”
Ji Qinghuan's little face was full of smiles, and the red hawthorn sugar gourd held up next to her was even more festive, and she smiled: "The prince and the eldest lady in the capital are getting married!" ”
Grandpa leaned over to wipe the sugar stains from the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile: "Qinghuan wants to go and see?" ”
She didn't expect her grandfather to be able to see through her careful thoughts at a glance, her eyes widened in surprise, and she said, "How did grandpa know?" ”
Grandpa stood upright, shook his head with a smile, and led Ji Qinghuan to go home.
Ji Qinghuan was led forward by her grandfather, she no longer had the heart to eat sugar gourds, she only lowered her head and kicked the stones on the side of the road, and muttered: "If we come back a few days later, we can watch the prince marry in Shangjing, and then how lively the streets in Shangjing will be, at that time everyone will come out, I don't know how lively it is!" Grandpa, do you think the candy in the palace will be the same as the one we buy on a regular basis? It must be sweeter than ours! Will we meet the Emperor? Will you meet the lady in the palace? The princess must be beautiful, right? What will the prince's sedan car look like? What will they eat at the wedding feast? Will it be like Aunt Liu next door when she married her daughter-in-law, and her bed was sprinkled with peanuts and longan? Grandpa, answer me~"
The princes and emperors who are like stars and moons, and the distinguished in-laws who are like clouds and smoke, walked out of the palace with the prince's sedan chair and walked on the bustling streets of Shangjing.
The building is open to 10,000 households, and among the hundreds of flowers, the crane is drawn to move the immortal battle, and the golden sable is listed on the public.
This is Ji Qinghuan's imaginary wedding.
Facing Ji Qinghuan's series of questions, grandpa shook his head with a smile and said: "Grandpa doesn't know how the princess and princess got married, but grandpa knows that when we Qinghuan gets married in the future, we will be the most beautiful and happiest bride in the world!" ”
Ji Qinghuan grinned, and the scorching sun of early spring fell on her face, making her whole person radiant.
Although she was full of yearning for the future, she still said sweetly: "Qinghuan will not marry, I will always be by my grandfather's side and grow old with my grandfather!" ”
Grandpa smiled and touched her head and led her home.

Qi Jingqin was not too surprised when he learned about the marriage, after all, the concubine had discussed with him before this.
But facing the approaching wedding date, he is still a little uncomfortable.
After staying in the study for a long time, I felt bored in my heart, so I sat in the Duguang Pavilion with a few jars of bone wine, retired from the left and right attendants, and looked at the spring garden alone, full of sorrow.
Si Nanping saw Qi Jingqin sitting alone in the pavilion from a distance, and hesitated for a while before stepping forward.
He sat next to Qi Jingqin casually, took out a wine glass, poured a glass of wine to himself, took a sip, and looked in the direction of Qi Jingqin's gaze, it was really a good scene.
Si Nanping smiled: "Can the prince worry about the marriage in three days?" ”
Qi Jingqin glanced at him, then put his eyes on the sparkling lake, facing the cool spring breeze, with a slight drunkenness, he squinted his eyes slightly, and said, "Yes, no." ”
He stayed alone for a long time, and after he was given a mansion when he was a teenager, he moved out of the palace early to live alone.
I've been alone for too long, and my life has been silent for a long time, full of silent arrows and calculations.
If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss.
Suddenly, a man appeared, coming from the firelight, walking up to him with sparkle and brilliance, and accompanying him in both glory and loss.
He was a little uncomfortable.
Those who let him hurt ruthlessly deserve it, but Liang Huanqing is not.
He was worried about how he would be able to be worthy of Liang Huanqing in the future.
"Lord Wang." Si Nanping looked at him and said, "The days ahead are still very long..."
He knew that Qi Jingqin was guilty of Liang Huanqing right now, after all, it was for his own selfish interests that he might have to bury other people's lives...
"There's no way you can think about anyone else anymore. At present, the emperor is seriously ill and weak, the prince's power is rampant, there is Lu Cheng in the court, and almost all civil officials follow Lu Cheng to stand in line. The crown prince was born to Empress Mingxian, and he was born for the heir, and he lived in the East Palace for a long time. The crown prince is rightly named. Lord Wang, now we are weak, but if we want to achieve great things, we have to sacrifice something. Si Nanping looked at Qi Jingqin and persuaded bitterly.
Qi Jingqin stood up, walked to the railing of the Duguang Pavilion, and said, "This king knows. You and your mother have been analyzing the pros and cons with this king from the very beginning, and this king is tired of hearing this. ”
He used to be very good brothers with Qi Jingyang in the palace.
Qi Jingyang has a domineering temperament, he is proud and easy to be complacent when he is raised by Lu Fushuang, but he is not bad, he has wind and snow in his bones, and he once said to Qi Jingqin that after he ascended the throne, he will sit on the throne with Qi Jingqin, he likes to travel in the mountains and rivers, so he handed over the rivers and mountains to Qi Jingqin, and went out of the palace to travel the mountains and rivers, wouldn't he be comfortable.
Qi Jingqin was worried that his father's insulting words would be heard, so he stepped forward to cover his mouth and didn't allow him to say more.
Qi Jingqin knew that he didn't want to fight, and he didn't like to fight.
Lu Fushuang's death hit Qi Jingyang very hard. Lu Fushuang was not able to see the emperor before he died, and the emperor was designed by Concubine Mei to stay in the palace and failed to receive the news in time.
It rained a lot that night, there were only two people in Qianning Palace, Lu Fushuang and Qi Jingyang, who was dying, said a lot to Qi Jingyang, since that day, Qi Jingyang put away his enthusiasm and friendliness towards Qi Jingqin, and focused on him, and now, he actually wants his life.
Qi Jingqin looked up at the empty sky and let out a long sigh...
