Chapter 294 Let Jing Yu take a concubine?
When Concubine Rou heard this, she finally reacted.
When she thought of Jingyu and Qingning, she knew that they had a good relationship. How could she put a concubine in Jingyu's backyard?
Besides, why does His Majesty have to choose a concubine?
Concubine Rou looked at Emperor Minghe nervously.
Emperor Minghe picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Mother, my harem is now full of people, and the last selection was not long ago. I don't want to waste money and manpower for the time being."
The Queen Mother complained: "Don't you see how many children there are in the harem?"
"To sum up, I can count them on one hand!"
"Besides, if there is no money for the talent show, I am willing to take it from my private treasury."
Emperor Minghe didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "This is not just a matter of money. I do have many concubines in my harem."
"But rest assured, mother, I will continue to work hard."
"As for Jingyu and Laoliu, I will ask them later whether they are willing to participate in the selection of concubines."
Seeing that he did not refuse outright, the Queen Mother looked relieved and nodded:
"Well, you must pay attention to this matter. After all, I only have these two grandchildren."
"I want to live a few more years and hug a few more great-grandchildren."
After the Emperor and his Concubine came out of the Cining Palace, Concubine Rou said nervously:
"Your Majesty, Jingyu and Qingning are deeply in love. Jingyu has told me that he does not want to take a concubine!"
Emperor Minghe sighed, "He has also told me, but this matter still needs to go through the formalities, and we cannot fail to give face to the Queen Mother."
Concubine Rou: "Then your majesty supports Jing Yu?"
Emperor Minghe: "It's not that I support him, it's that he is too opinionated."
This guy looks like a military general, but in fact he is more cunning than any other civil official.
He had planned all this out long ago.
But the Queen Mother refused to give in.
Concubine Rou frowned, looking very depressed.
"When your majesty and your sister were deeply in love, the Queen Mother asked you to be selected to expand your harem and have more children."
"Now, they are forcing Jing Yu again!"
Emperor Minghe was also deeply saddened after hearing her words.
He didn't want to marry too many women back then, but Nan Qing injured her body and could no longer have children.
He had no choice but to choose some concubines.
But later, Nan Qing finally left him.
Seeing that Emperor Minghe was in a very low mood, Concubine Rou blamed herself and said, "Your Majesty, I shouldn't have mentioned my sister..."
Emperor Minghe waved his hand and said, "No problem. Now you are the only one who can talk to me about her often."
"It's okay, you can go back. I want to summon Jingyu and Lao Liu to the palace to discuss this matter."
Concubine Rou was worried about her son again, "Then when there is a result, you must tell me."
Emperor Minghe: "Okay."
**
At the door of the imperial study, Lu Jingyu met the Sixth Prince.
The Sixth Prince was shocked. "Why did the Emperor summon us at the same time? Could it be that he wants to confer the title of Empress Dowager?"
Lu Jingyu glared at him speechlessly.
The Sixth Prince covered his mouth and smiled awkwardly.
However, in his opinion, it was only a matter of time before his father appointed Lu Jingyu as the crown prince.
He is not jealous, really not jealous...
After being summoned, the two entered the imperial study together.
"Greetings, Father!"
"Greetings, Father."
Ming Hedi raised his eyes, "Oh, you are all here."
"You are summoned here today because your grandmother wants to choose a principal wife and a concubine for you and then hold a talent show."
The Sixth Prince raised his eyebrows. It was actually this matter.
He actually thought that he should have a principal wife. As for concubines, they were dispensable.
However, we can take this opportunity to win over some ministers?
Of course, you have to keep a low profile.
But when Lu Jingyu heard this, his face changed and he looked at Emperor Minghe.
"Father, I don't need a concubine for the time being. Let the Empress Dowager choose a wife and concubine for my sixth brother."
The Sixth Prince also looked at him in surprise. They couldn't possibly hold a talent show just for him!
Emperor Minghe also said: "If this is true, then the selection is too much trouble, and it will cost a lot of money and manpower."
"However, Sixth Brother, if you have a favorite wife or concubine, I will grant you a marriage."
"Jingyu, you too, if there is anyone you want to take into the backyard, I will make the decision for you."
"Later, I can also ask Concubine Rou to show you the list of unmarried noble ladies in the capital."
The two of them bowed and said, "Yes, Father."
In this way, he could report to the Queen Mother without going against the wishes of his two sons.
The Sixth Prince had a plan in mind, which noble lady he could marry so that he could increase his power.
When he came out of the imperial study, he looked at Lu Jingyu beside him curiously.
"Brother, you really don't plan to take a concubine?"
"This way, I can choose with confidence. Otherwise, what if we brothers choose the same person?"
Lu Jingyu: "I don't plan to marry a concubine, so feel free to choose."
He turned around and left, his handsome face slightly gloomy.
The reason why my father played this Tai Chi was mainly because he didn't want to offend the Empress Dowager.
The Queen Mother openly asked him to take a concubine in order to make her dissatisfaction with Qing Ning known.
Lu Jingyu became a little angry.
Before, when he didn't care who his wife was, he would just let others arrange things for him.
Now that he has decided to marry only Qing Ning, no one can change his decision.
Lu Jingyu was still worried, so after walking halfway, he turned around and went back.
The Sixth Prince did not follow.
But after he left the palace and got into the carriage, he muttered to himself:
"Is that Gu Qingning so good?"
"She is just prettier and smarter."
She has such a low status and has only one daughter. I don’t know if she will have a son in the future.
Would Lu Jingyu go against his father and disobey his grandmother for her?
However, when the Sixth Prince thought that Lu Jingyu was about to anger his elders, he immediately felt happy.
It’s good to be angry.
It would be best if the emperor, in a fit of rage, completely gave up on Lu Jingyu and set his sights on him!
Thinking of this, the Sixth Prince suddenly remembered that the address Lu Jingyu had given him before was related to Qiu Shui.
It's time for him to do some real work!
Lu Jingyu came back and entered the imperial study.
Ming Hedi didn't even raise his head, "Why are you back again?"
Lu Jingyu: "Father, what does the Empress Dowager mean?"
Emperor Minghe: "She is doing this for your own good. She is also worried that the palace is too quiet and makes people feel uneasy."
Lu Jingyu: "Father, you are still young, you can give birth to more princes and princesses."
Emperor Minghe: "..."
He laughed angrily and threw the brush in his hand at Lu Jingyu!
"How can you talk to your father like this?"
Lu Jingyu's tone was humble, but his content was not humble.
"Father, I have always been like this, you know that."
"If you don't stand on my side, I might have to think of some other ways."
Emperor Minghe's eyebrows twitched immediately, "What other methods do you want to think of?"
Lu Jingyu: "I heard there is a medicine that can make men infertile after taking it."
"It just so happens that I don't want Qing Ning to go through the pain of childbirth again. I am already satisfied with having a daughter."
Emperor Minghe: "..."
He even wanted to use the imperial seal to smash this bastard!
He closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and then said, "Okay, I will help you convey your thoughts to the Queen Mother truthfully."
Lu Jingyu: "What about you?"
Emperor Minghe threw the teacup directly at him.
Lu Jingyu dodged nimbly and ran to the door. He turned around and said:
"Oh, by the way, Father, I will be moving to the old house of the Lin Mansion at the end of the year. I will hold a housewarming party at that time. Do you want to come?"
"Get out!" Emperor Minghe was really angry.
The eunuch Shun next to him was very nervous.
Lu Jingyu turned around and left without any reluctance.
Emperor Minghe, who was furious, looked at his back. After a long while, he held his forehead and chuckled.
It seems that if he was as reckless as Jing Yu back then.
Will it be able to hold on and keep Nan Qing longer?
However, he was not completely relieved about Lu Jingyu leaving the palace.
Perhaps the Queen Mother will have another trick up her sleeve.
Moreover, my father also looked like he was watching the fun.
Lu Jingyu thought about it and after finishing his shift, he did not go back home directly, but went to the clinic first.
Doctor Bai has not left the capital yet.
Ever since Wei Shuhe returned to the clinic from other places, Doctor Bai has lived in the front yard of the clinic.
And the clinic’s business is even better than before!
Of course, Doctor Bai is not responsible for seeing patients.
He lives here, dealing with herbs every day or reading medical books.
Very leisurely.
The main reason is that I am worried about Wei Shuhe.
When he saw Lu Jingyu coming, Doctor Bai was stunned for a moment.
"Jingyu, why are you here instead of going back home to accompany Qing Ning and Xiao Xiyao after your shift?"
Lu Jingyu: "Mr. Bai, I have something to talk to you about."
He asked everyone else to back off.
Bai Lao frowned, "You are so mysterious, what exactly do you want to do?"
Lu Jingyu: "Mr. Bai, do you have a medicine that can slowly make people lose their fertility?"
Doctor Bai just took a sip of tea and spat it all out.
"Who are you going to make a eunuch?"
Lu Jingyu: "Either they become eunuchs, or they slowly lose their fertility, and it's reversible."
"I want to use it."
"And the doctors in the palace couldn't find out what was wrong."
"They forced me to take a concubine, but I didn't want to. I was also worried that the Queen Mother would make things difficult for Qing Ning in the future, so I came up with this idea."
Lu Jingyu didn't want to keep on guard against this matter.
But what if one day, he gets bewitched in the palace and wakes up with another woman lying beside him? What should he do?
Even if you don't know how to do something, you have to be responsible.
As long as this woman is taken into the backyard, there will definitely be endless troubles.
It is better to cut off this trouble from the source.
Doctor Bai had a very complicated expression and didn't speak for a long time.
Lu Jingyu frowned, "Why, Mr. Bai, can't you develop this kind of medicine?"
Doctor Bai was speechless:
"Don't try to provoke me, little brat."
"It was indeed recorded in an ancient book before. I can give it a try."
"However, we can guarantee that it will be lost slowly, but we cannot guarantee that it will be reversible."
"Also, are you really doing this because you care about Qingling?"
Because this will put a lot of pressure on Qingning.
Lu Jingyu shook his head, "It's not just because of Qing Ning, I really don't like touching other women."
"Mr. Bai, can you please help me?"
