Chapter 122 The Emperor is Completely Ruined

In the palace, Eunuch Fu strangely handed a letter to the emperor.

The master seems to be paying special attention to the two sisters of the Lu family recently. There have been many killings in the harem recently... Could it be that the emperor is making room for the two sisters?

The emperor looked at the five very simple words on the letter: Upgrade, twenty steps, and suddenly began to have a headache.

If the distance was only ten steps, he could use his position to keep her further away from him.

But twenty steps, unless he pushed Lu Jinchuan to the bottom, as the Minister of Justice, he couldn't get too far away no matter how he arranged it.

The emperor was a little melancholy. If he was jealous and disgusted with the sisters, he had just gained several hundred thousand taels of silver and had also dealt with Concubine Shu and Concubine Hua to avoid chaos in the harem in the future.

But when it comes to liking someone, that damn girl really has no sense of boundaries!

How can we not feel awe towards him!

No matter what, he is the emperor, and ordinary people should have awe for the emperor.

The emperor looked at the five words on the letter and fell into a long silence.

Just when Eunuch Fu thought that he was going to have the two sisters summoned into the palace, the emperor finally came to his senses.

Never mind. He's not the only one who's embarrassed.

He was the emperor, and no one dared to say anything to him except that girl.

As long as he is thick-skinned enough and doesn't take the complaints seriously, all that remains is to reap the benefits.

The emperor had completely let it go and directly asked Eunuch Fu to handle the letter. He then unfolded the memorial and started to get busy again.

Lu Xinlan began to worry from the moment she handed the letter to the young eunuch. By the evening, there was still no movement in the city, so she was completely relieved.

In her opinion, Lu Xinran, who was completely unaware of this, and her... somewhat unreliable system were stepping on the emperor's bottom line time and time again.

The emperor gained so much from it that he had to move his bottom line again and again.

That's fine.

When she goes out again, she can let her imagination run wild and eat melons and complain.

In the following days, banquets continued to be held in various mansions in the capital.

Zhao rushed between various mansions every day, trying to promote Lu Yuanheng.

But the family of the girl she liked was not willing to agree to the marriage at all, and the girls who were willing to marry into the Lu family were all girls from minor officials' families.

Zhao would go out every day in high spirits and come back in a rage and frustration.

After much consideration, she found that the candidate she liked the most was Tang Wanrou, who had a calm and easy-to-control personality, and whose father had a promising future.

And they are good-looking too, so their children will definitely be the best in the future.

But she hadn't seen Liu in the past few days. She didn't know whether she was deliberately avoiding her or simply didn't want to attend these banquets.

Lu Xinran could now eat a melon every twenty steps, so every day after Zhao came back, she would run to the vicinity of Zhao's yard and eat the melons she had eaten in other mansions that day.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. If you can grab its health, you must do so.

Every time she showed up at Zhao's place, she would hear endless noisy complaints, constantly laughing in her ears at everything that happened during the day.

Unfortunately, she couldn't vent her anger, so she could only close her eyes and wait for her to finish her complaints and leave quickly.

Half a month after Qi Yu returned to the capital, all the soldiers he brought back from the border town were promoted.

He knew that the emperor would not let him return to the border town, so in the petition he submitted, he described the situations of several of his subordinates as extremely special.

The emperor originally wanted to arrange a marriage for Qi Yu so that he could get married quickly and stop thinking about the empress.

But from Lu Xinran's chattering voice, he could tell that Qi Yu had no intention of rebelling.

Even though he had made great military achievements and held military power, he had no intention of committing treason.

Ever since this petition was submitted, the emperor has been thinking about how to deal with Qi Yu, and also considering who should be in charge of the northwestern border.

In the end, after much thought, he decided that sending Qi Yu back was the most worry-free solution.

He called the person into the palace, and the emperor and his minister talked for the entire afternoon.

Qi Yu repeatedly expressed his loyalty and said he didn't want to get married. He was unwilling to let the girl from Beijing suffer in the bitter cold of the Northwest.

But dying on the battlefield is the fate of a military general, and he doesn't want to delay the girl.

He was unwilling to get married, and the various prefectures were unwilling to marry their young men to him.

And just like that dead girl said, Qi Yu is about the same age as their parents, but there is a big generation gap between them.

Those people were unwilling to get married, and he was too lazy to be a bad guy.

Half a month after Qi Yu returned to the capital, he was driven back to the border town, leaving only two tribal leaders who were captured alive.

The various governments in the capital that were still busy preparing for banquets were all a little confused when they learned that Qi Yu had left the capital.

This means... you are not planning to keep Qi Yu in the capital to arrange a marriage for him?

If the emperor didn't have this idea, wouldn't it seem that their eagerness was a bit stupid?

When Lu Xinran heard this, he was stunned for a while.

Didn't the emperor have a fear before? He also complained that he was always thinking about the queen. Is this just a broken jar?

However, Lu Xinlan and Pei both guessed one thing. The emperor was not giving up at all. He knew from her inner voice that Qi Yu had no intention of rebelling.

Lu Xinran pulled her handkerchief, and she refused to think too much about what she couldn't figure out.

It is already late autumn, and when the first snow falls, the capital will become completely cold.

Once winter comes, the movement between the various prefectures in the capital will slow down. The system has been calling for an upgrade these days, and now that the "chaos" in the city has come to an end, Lu Xinran wants to go out for a walk.

"Grandma, sister, how about we go to the White Horse Temple to pray and relax in a few days?"

Pei nodded with a smile. She would never be bored with her granddaughter around. She might even encounter something interesting if she went out of town for a walk.

When Zhao heard that they were going to the White Horse Temple, she wanted to go with them.

Her son's marriage was not going well, so she made a special trip to the Tang Mansion a few days ago. However, Mrs. Liu claimed to be ill, so she couldn't even see her.

Tang Wanrou, the daughter-in-law who was always at her fingertips, has completely flown away. Although she is unwilling, her son's marriage can no longer be delayed.

She had to go to the White Horse Temple and pray for a marriage in front of the Buddha.

Zhao went with them, and Kong brought her two daughters to join in the fun.

In fact, Kong had always wanted to find an opportunity to ask Pei what she thought about the entanglement between Lu Kangping and his son.

She could feel the pain in her husband's heart. After ten years of hard study, who would want to spend the rest of their life in the Imperial College?

Even though Lu Yuanheng entered the Hanlin Academy after graduating from high school, he was completely excluded from the court because of his father's favoritism.

The two daughters-in-law and granddaughter were all going to travel together. Pei was happy to have the whole family together, so if there was nothing else to do at home, they would plan the trip for the next morning.

Zhang Shui'er, who corresponded with the two sisters, also begged her mother to take her brother with her after learning that they were going to the White Horse Temple.

As for the Tang family, as soon as the mourning period came to an end, Liu wanted to take her mother-in-law, son and daughter to the White Horse Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings.

The three families went out of the city one after another and met outside the temple.

As soon as Zhao saw Liu, she immediately turned into a fighting chicken.
