Chapter 285 Asking the Emperor for Help
"That's right! Ever since I knew you were the emperor, I've been looking forward to meeting you. But you haven't come yet." Lu Qiniang said cheerfully, "You've been hiding yourself so well!"
"How did you know? I originally thought that I could continue to keep it a secret! From now on, Qi Niang must not look down on me just because I am the emperor." The emperor said with a smile.
"Everyone knows, except Erya, Sanya and I. They are young, and I am really stupid." Lu Qiniang invited the emperor and Teng Wenfu to sit down. "Speaking of how I know, I have to mention Aunt Bai."
She mercilessly flattered Aunt Bai in front of the emperor.
"It was only later that I realized how it was possible for someone as good and righteous as you to raise a daughter like that! Then, I realized... I was so slow to react."
The emperor was touched by her words.
He doesn't dare to say how righteous he is, but he is not a bad person.
Why would his son, whom he had raised so carefully and treated like the apple of his eye, attack him?
In fact, this incident has been the lingering shadow in the emperor's mind recently.
So this causes him to be annoyed by everything he sees.
"Don't you think it's infuriating or not—" Lu Qiniang thought, since the emperor is here and everyone knows that he is the emperor, who wouldn't use the connection?
Good steel should be used on the blade.
Now is the most important blade.
——Xiao Yan’s Wangyun.
I've thought about replacing one thing with another and stealing it before, but there are always things that keep me from being distracted.
Since the emperor has now "walked into a trap", well, I don't know if this word is correct, but now that he is here, we can't let him go.
Lu Qiniang muttered to herself, telling him that the Marquis' Mansion had seized all of Xiao Yan's private property.
The emperor frowned when he heard this.
He knew that the Seventh Princess was not an easy person to get along with, but he didn't expect her to be so petty.
She even held on to Xiao Yan's private property.
"Forget about the rest. We have hands and feet and can earn our own money," Lu Qiniang said. "But tell me, isn't Xiao Yan's horse his lifeblood? Do you think Xiao Yan would feel good if he saw his horse not being treated well?"
She looked at the emperor's expression, then secretly glanced at Teng Wenfu.
That's good, there's no suggestion that what she said was wrong.
Lu Qiniang continued, "I know you're busy every day, and I can't bother you with trivial matters. But as for this horse, I really can't think of any other way. How about you quietly have someone tell the princess to return the horse to Xiao Yan? If she's unhappy, we can buy it for her. But this is a gift from the emperor, and the sale needs your consent."
"It's just a horse," the emperor said. "Teng Wenfu, remember this. Go to the marquis' mansion tomorrow and tell them to send the horse over."
"Yes." said Teng Wenfu.
Lu Qiniang suddenly became happy, "Your Majesty, it has to be you! Wait for Xiao Yan to come back and have him kowtow to you. I've asked San Ya to call him, he will be back soon."
"What has he been busy with lately?"
"Things at the dock," Lu Qiniang said. "He's so busy every day that he's nowhere to be seen. That Cheng Jiuwan isn't a good guy, always trying to trip him up. But if you think about it, you can understand it. How can someone be willing to touch the meat in their bowl? But Xiao Yan said, this process has to be done."
"Well, do you need my help?" the emperor asked calmly.
"No, no," Lu Qiniang said repeatedly, "If we need your help for everything, we'll be useless. Besides, why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? You can't be involved in all the trivial matters. You are the emperor, you have to take care of the big things. Our little thing is nothing. I'm just complaining to you, please don't take it too seriously."
"Then, after knowing that I am the emperor, Qi Niang has nothing to ask of me?"
Lu Qiniang was stunned. "Me? I don't have any. I have enough food and drink, I can make money, and I'm successful. I can support so many people and support my family. I'm really amazing! I don't have any requests from you. I just want to help you."
As she spoke, a rare look of embarrassment appeared on her face.
The emperor was amazed when he saw this. "Why, Qi Niang is shy? Since you are helping me, why are you shy?"
"As for me, I've never been to school and I'm stupid, but I love to worry and take charge." Lu Qiniang muttered, "Men are on the left and women are on the right. Look at my right hand—"
She opened her right palm and held it before the emperor. "Have you ever seen a hand with messier lines than mine?"
"It's quite a mess." The emperor laughed.
"My left hand is the same way, it's a natural worrywart. I can't help it. My brother, Zhang Heyao, used to scold me, saying I was meddling in other people's business. At that time, I said, what's wrong with a dog catching a rat? If a rat breaks into your house, can you just sit back and watch it destroy things? Doesn't that mean the dog is eating for free? Don't you agree?"
The emperor laughed heartily, stroked his beard and said, "That makes sense."
He felt much more relaxed now, and all the doubts he had before coming here were dispelled.
The emperor actually knew that Lu Qiniang already knew his identity.
He was worried that when they met again, they would look different.
Then this rare place of peace outside the palace where he could relax and breathe would no longer exist.
Fortunately, Lu Qin's mother hasn't changed at all.
Even though they knew he was the emperor, they still treated him as an elder to whom they could tell anything.
Even if she is pretending, I hope she can keep pretending.
After all, how many years can he live?
He hopes to find some happiness in the rest of his life.
"I love to worry, but I don't have the ability." Lu Qiniang said, "I've made a mess of my own family, and I have to rely on my three maids to help me. But I think, if I have the heart, I can do as much work as I can. It won't be in vain. Don't you agree?"
"Qi Niang said it well. Come, tell me, what are you going to do for me? Where are those two big axes of yours? Do you want to help me fight the enemy and be my female general?"
"If a female general can't be one, she can be a vanguard." Lu Qiniang laughed, "Jiang Quan and I are together, and Jiang Quan thinks the same. Oh, I can't say this——"
She covered her mouth.
The emperor laughed heartily. "Who can't be said?"
"Jiang Quan wanted to be a vanguard. It was him and the Fifth Young Master, Lord Zhou Xiaoyao, who talked about it. Then Jiang Yi secretly overheard it, but she didn't say anything. If I didn't say it, I would feel suffocated. But Jiang Yi, who had no one else to talk to, mentioned it to me. I'm not very careful with my mouth, so I blurted it out when I saw you."
"Abandoned Mother, you are playing tricks on me." The emperor scolded with a smile, "Are you trying to help Jiang Quan get a job?"
"No, no." Lu Qiniang waved her hands repeatedly, "He wants to join the Black Armor Army for training. I was just thinking, thinking about the future, three to five years, six to seven years, if there is a chance, I can let Jiang Quan try, he has the intention! And me! You should also consider me, I think I can really do it. Oh, where have I been rambling again, I have to tell you something serious! Wait a minute -"
