Chapter Thirty-Seven: Entering the Palace and Facing the Saint
For example, since Mrs. Ru married to Lu Mansion, she has not given birth to a son and a half daughter, and she has been pregnant before, but unfortunately she had a miscarriage, which also made her think that Lu Qingyi was harmed. Therefore, it is even more impossible for her to let Lu Qingyi inherit these family properties, and at that time, she is afraid that she will not even have a way to live.
"Qinglin, you write a letter to my mother's family, and ask them to come to Lu Mansion to stay for a few days and discuss some things." Mrs. Ru naturally can't sit still, if she doesn't do it again, these things will be Lu Qingyi's.
Qinglin is Mrs. Ru's dowry maid, and she is also the most trustworthy.
There are only a few days left before Chinese New Year's Eve, and as soon as this Chinese New Year's Eve passes, it will be a new year, whether it is a new beginning No one knows, but Lu Qingyi knows that this new year will not be peaceful.
Whether it is the dark tide surging in the court, or the open and secret struggle between him and Mrs. Ru, it indicates that the new year will only be more chaotic.
Lu Qingyi still did not escape the fate of being announced into the palace by the emperor, he has not seen the emperor since he came back, this meeting will inevitably be overturned, Chang Yi, who went with him, felt that the emperor was better to Lu Qingyi than his own son.
Not long after entering the palace, I met the second prince Chang Wen halfway, it is impossible not to say hello, even if you don't like each other, you always have to pretend to be face, and he and Chang Wen have no special opposites, it's just that they don't appreciate his cruelty.
"I heard that a few days ago, the prince was busy arranging your personal affairs for you, right?" Chang Wen has never been a person who beats around the bush, and it is not a secret that the prince summoned Lu Qingyi, the entire palace knows about it, and Lu Qingyi naturally has nothing to hide.
"Yes!"
"I heard you refused? Is it because those girls aren't good-looking or do you have something else in mind? ”
Lu Qingyi knew that Chang Wen was tempting, and he only replied softly, "The girls are very good-looking, and Xiaosheng doesn't have any other ideas, but he just doesn't want his marriage to be controlled by others." ”
Chang Wen is different from Chang Gan, he has inquired about Lu Qingyi, and he has also learned more or less about his personality, so he drove away without communicating with him too much.
Lu Qingyi looked back at the carriage that was getting farther and farther away, frowned slightly, he didn't think too much, so he went into the carriage and went to find the emperor with Chang Yi.
The emperor set up a banquet in the other courtyard to entertain Lu Qingyi, except for Lu Qingyi and Chang Yi, there were no outsiders.
Lu Qingyi looked at the emperor sitting there alone, thinking about what wishful thinking he was making in his heart?
After the salute, he sat down, his cup was filled with wine, and the emperor's face was full of smiles, "It's been a long time since I've eaten and drunk with the two of you." He looked at Lu Qingyi again, "You said that you too, you didn't know to enter the palace to see me after returning to the capital for so long." ”
"Father, I haven't seen you think about your sons and daughters like this." Chang Yi whispered on the side, since he was a child, his relationship with the emperor has been lukewarm, the emperor always dislikes him for having no ambition, on the contrary, the relationship with Lu Qingyi is very good, he has doubted more than once whether he is biological.
The emperor rolled his eyes, "You? If you can go to court on time every day, I will laugh off my big teeth. ”
The emperor's words made Chang Yi unable to speak, he did not come to the court sometimes when he couldn't get up, and he was the most uncompetitive of his many brothers.
Because of this, the crown prince and the second prince didn't take him to heart, otherwise he might have how many things he had to deal with!
"I heard that a few days ago, the prince invited you to dinner?" Only then did the emperor sink his eyebrows, a little serious.
"I invited Xiaosheng to dinner, and I still want to choose a wife for Xiaosheng." Lu Qingyi said it like a joke, which made the emperor's face even more solemn.
It's not that he doesn't know about the affairs of the crown prince and the second prince in the court, it's just that he has always turned a blind eye.
"You don't like the girl I introduced to you, will you like the prince's introduction?" The emperor snorted coldly, "He often thinks too much of himself!" ”
"Whether you can afford it or not, your position as a prince was also promised to him, he is a prince, so he naturally does whatever he wants." Chang Yi really didn't understand, why the emperor chose to let Chang Gan, a straw bag, be the crown prince, was it because he was afraid of the queen's situation in the court?
The emperor scolded again, "It's not your right to speak." ”
The queen's elder brother is a general with 100,000 troops, and his father is a veteran of the court, so his power is naturally great, although he is the emperor, he also has a lot of last resort, he never thinks about himself, but the whole world.
is also because Chang Qian is not suitable to be the emperor, so the emperor does not want Lu Qingyi to get on the same boat with him.
Lu Qingyi saw through the emperor's thoughts, and only heard him say shallowly, "Your Majesty, no matter when, Xiaosheng and you are of the same mind, since Xiaosheng has refused to enter the court as an official, Xiaosheng is unwilling to stir up the troubled waters of the crown prince and the second prince." ”
Lu Qingyi's words Chang Yi didn't understand a little, but it was a reassuring pill for the emperor.
Chang Gan's ambition is too heavy, Chang Gan is a straw bag, no matter who it is, if it is a wise king, he will not choose to hand over the throne to them.
After eating, Lu Qingyi accompanied the emperor for a walk, played chess, and it was getting late, and Lu Qingyi and Chang Yi left the palace.
On the way out of the palace, Chang Yi kept complaining, saying that he was bored for a day today, and then he said secretly, "Do you know what I saw today?" ”
"See two puppies fighting?" Lu Qingyi teased.
Chang Yi rolled his eyes, "Can you be serious." After a pause, he said, "I see the Queen." ”
"Isn't it normal to see the queen in the palace?" Lu Qingyi felt more and more that Chang Yi's brain was abnormal.
"I saw the queen and Concubine Chen punishing a little palace maid together, you don't know how cruel that scene was." Chang Yi said it with relish, but Lu Qingyi didn't have the heart to listen, in the palace, punishing palace maids is a common thing, how cruel it is, Chang Yi grew up in the palace since he was a child, he won't even know this kind of thing.
"I heard that the palace maid seduced the prince in private, but who knows the actual situation? In their eyes, a person's life is not as important as the cat she raises. Chang Yi himself was muttering, it was not that he had never seen this kind of thing, but every time he saw it, he felt terrified, which was also the reason why he was unwilling to fight for the so-called throne.
This also made him think of his mother concubine, how many women does a woman compete with in this palace for a man, if she is lucky enough to be favored, how many people will become the eyes of many people.
I heard that his father and his mother were very affectionate, and after the death of his mother, his father was still decadent for a long time.
But these are all heard, no one has confirmed it, if she really loved, why not investigate the cause of her death thoroughly?
