Chapter 298 Jade Concubine
Zhao Luoxuan looked at Duan Qi for a long while, then suddenly stood up and walked to the desk, picked up a pen and wrote a letter, sealed it with a red candle, and put it in her arms.
He turned and went to the yard where Qi Jun's parents lived.
"Child, why are you here?" Qi's mother was surprised.
Qi's father also followed behind.
Zhao Luoxuan suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed solemnly.
Qi's mother was so frightened that she quickly helped her up: "Good child, if you have anything to say, stand up and tell us. We can't accept such a big gift."
Zhao Luoxuan stood up with red eyes and supported Qi's mother: "Mom, Dad, let's go in and talk."
Zhao Luoxuan told her everything Duan Yu had said, and both of their faces changed.
Mother Qi was nervous: "Is this going to be a war?"
Qi's father was furious: "Why is the queen like this? She is so vicious!"
"What nonsense."
Qi's mother quickly pulled him away.
Father Qi suddenly realized that he had made a slip of the tongue. After all, that was Zhao Luoxuan's biological mother.
Zhao Luoxuan sighed, "My mother has always valued the throne. It has been her lifelong wish for the crown prince to ascend the throne and sit firmly on it. But the crown prince has a gentle personality and is not good at fighting. This is also known to my mother. Therefore, my mother secretly controls the power in order to protect the crown prince and make him the real emperor."
"I don't know what's happening in the capital right now, but right now, my mother feels that the Mu family army poses a threat to her and my brother, the crown prince. Unless the Mu family army surrenders or is handed over to someone my mother trusts."
Qi's mother's face turned pale, but she didn't understand.
Qi's father asked nervously, "So what are your plans?"
If Zhao Luoxuan wanted to help her brother out of consideration for the mother-daughter relationship, it would be understandable. However, in this case, the couple would have to find a way to return to Juzhou and inform the authorities.
He couldn't be so foolish as to put the Mu family army in danger just because of Zhao Luoxuan.
Zhao Luoxuan whispered, "I think you two elders should go back to Juzhou on the pretext of missing home. I will write a letter for you to take back to Prince Yong and my sister so that they can make preparations early."
Father Qi's heart suddenly settled down, and he nodded quickly: "Okay, we will resign from King Duan immediately."
Mother Qi shook her head: "Just go back, I'll stay with Xuanxuan."
"Mom, you should go back with me."
If a fight really had to happen, Zhao Luoxuan didn't want to put the two elders in a dilemma.
Qi's mother held her hand tightly and said, "I want to take care of you. Once we leave, you will be left without any relatives."
Zhao Luoxuan hugged her, feeling grateful. They had been together for almost two years and their relationship was deep, closer than she was to her mother and brother.
"Mom, Dad, I will feel at ease if you go to Juzhou. As for me and Duan Yu... I may have to be his princess forever."
When Qi's mother heard this, she immediately understood and glanced at the old man with a somewhat gloomy expression.
Although both husband and wife hope Xuanxuan is happy and wants her to have her own children, they feel heartbroken when it really comes.
Since Xuanxuan wants to become a real princess, it would be inappropriate for the couple to stay here, as Xuanxuan would feel embarrassed.
After discussing with Qi's mother and father, Zhao Luoxuan handed the letter to Qi's father.
Duan Yu was discussing matters with his ministers when a eunuch came in and said that the princess wanted to see her.
Duan Yu raised an eyebrow. She would never come to the main hall to look for him at this time, and she would never ask for a meeting while he was busy handling government affairs.
"Let her go back first. I will go to her place later."
The eunuch delivered the message, and Zhao Luoxuan had no choice but to turn around.
"Oh, the princess is here. What a rare guest."
A gentle voice was heard.
Zhao Luoxuan looked over with a normal expression.
The jade concubine, dressed seductively, came over with her maid, who was holding a round food box in her hands.
Concubine Yu glanced at the main hall and smiled charmingly: "Why, the king didn't let me in?"
Zhao Luoxuan was too lazy to talk to her: "The king is busy, I will go back first."
After saying that, she turned around, but Concubine Ke Yu took a few steps in front of her and blocked her way.
"Sister, you can go in. The king will never refuse you. Princess, if you have anything to say, why don't you tell me and I will convey it for you?"
She had seen many women like Concubine Yu in her father's palace. As the most honorable princess, she did not care about her father's other concubines at all.
But now, this kind of person dared to act like a demon in front of her.
Zhao Luoxuan smiled faintly: "Does Concubine Yu have the right to listen to what the king and I want to say?"
Concubine Yu chuckled: "The king tells his sister everything."
She pointed to the round box in the maid's hand and said, "This is the tribute of crystal jade grapes. This kind of grapes is very rare. Last night when the king was sleeping at my sister's place, someone sent it to me. They said that they only had this little bit. How dare I keep it all to myself? I have washed it and sent it to the king for him to taste."
She suddenly realized, "Oh, could it be that Princess Sister doesn't have any either? It's all my fault for my original intention. I'll have someone give some to my sister."
Zhao Luoxuan was too lazy to watch her acting: "I'm very busy, please do as you please."
As she said this, she tried to walk around her and leave, but Concubine Yu refused to let her go and stopped her again.
"Sister, is my son doing well with you? I miss my biological son so much, can you let me go and see him?"
Zhao Luoxuan looked at her with a half-smile: "Who is your son? He is my legitimate son. If you think he is your son, you can ask the king to take him back for you."
Concubine Yu’s face froze.
Zhao Luoxuan pushed her away: "A good dog doesn't block the road!"
Concubine Yu stared at her back, her smile disappearing.
Gnashing his teeth, he said, "The hatred of having my child taken away from me is irreconcilable!"
Duan Yu could see the situation outside clearly through the stained glass window. When he saw Zhao Luoxuan leave, he didn't say a word and turned back to discuss matters with the ministers.
The eunuch came in and reported that Concubine Yu wanted to see her.
Duan Yu: "Ask her to personally deliver the crystal jade grapes to the princess. I will go to the princess' palace to eat them later."
The eunuch was stunned.
How did the king know that Concubine Yu was here to give him crystal jade grapes?
When Concubine Yu heard the message, her expression suddenly turned ugly. "Are you sure you didn't pass on the wrong message?"
The eunuch said respectfully, "I dare not pass on a single wrong word."
Concubine Yu was extremely angry.
But the king’s orders cannot be disobeyed.
Zhao Luoxuan had just returned to her own bedroom when Concubine Yu arrived.
When she heard the eunuch delivering the message that Concubine Yu had sent grapes, she was a little surprised.
"She wants to come in and see the baby, right?"
Duan Qi is not her biological son. Duan Yu gave Duan Qi to her because he wanted her to raise Ji Xuanyu's posthumous son. As for Concubine Yu, she didn't care about her mood.
A eunuch came hurriedly and saw Concubine Yu standing at the door. He bowed and turned to the people in the princess's palace, whispered a few words and left.
Concubine Yu frowned and asked the maid beside her: "Isn't this someone close to the king?"
"Replying to Concubine, yes."
Concubine Yu looked at the princess' main hall with suspicion.
She has been following the king for a year, but she really can't figure out what is going on between the king and the princess.
Zhao Luoxuan was just about to have Concubine Yu sent away, as she didn't want any grapes.
When I was a princess in the palace, I had seen all kinds of good things.
Just as I was about to speak, someone came in.
"Princess, the king has ordered that you come to have dinner with me tonight and taste crystal jade grapes together."
Zhao Luoxuan was stunned.
Could it be that... Duan Yu asked Concubine Yu to deliver the grapes?
She suddenly smiled and said, "Then let Concubine Yu leave the grapes behind and you can go."
Women tend to be more narrow-minded.
She, Zhao Luoxuan, is also a normal woman.
It's okay for a mere concubine to want to bully her all day long and make her feel uncomfortable.
Duan Yu couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard that Zhao Luoxuan had picked the grapes and didn't let Concubine Yu enter the house.
It's okay to have a temper and be jealous.
