Chapter 232 Like the First Queen?
Now, everyone outside has been forced to laugh at the Qin Mansion!
Duke Qin had been in a daze for a long time since his cousin Zhao Jing left.
Today was the full moon party for his eldest granddaughter, and he was in a rare good mood.
But when he heard what his youngest son said, he glanced at him speechlessly.
"They are right. Our Duke's Mansion has always been in chaos. Moreover, most of this chaos is due to you!"
Lu Hangzhi choked, "Father, why do you say that? I didn't do those things on purpose."
He never imagined that his backyard would be so chaotic.
Besides...
"Father, whether it's Ruoying or Yuan'er, they are all behaving themselves and behave themselves."
"Are they really honest?" Duke Qin asked back.
Even if he didn't take care of the things happening in the backyard, he would vaguely hear about it from the servants.
Ever since becoming the legal wife, Feng Yuaner has been bullying Chen Ruoying a lot.
The child of Aunt Linlang was adopted by Shen Ruoying. It was said that the child was sick every other day.
Duke Qin frowned and said, "If it doesn't work, just take Ah Ming's child to your mother to raise. I think Shen is too young and has no experience in raising children. Don't let her spoil the child!"
Now, because Shen Ruoying has been so humble, she and Lu Hangzhi have restored some of their former friendship.
The two are being sweet.
Lu Hangzhi immediately said: "Let's talk about this later."
"And mother didn't have any experience in taking care of children, but she still raised my eldest brother well, didn't she?"
Duke Qin was annoyed, "That's because your elder brother has been strong and healthy since he was young, not prone to illness, and is also very smart. How could it be that your mother brought him up well?"
Although he said this, he did not mention the matter of letting Feng raise Ming again.
**
In the backyard, the women came in to see the children, and then took turns leaving.
Relying on the fact that she was the wife of the Duke and Gu Qingning's mother-in-law, Feng sat there firmly and did not want to leave.
She felt the auspicious words spoken by the ladies who came in and out.
No matter how many conflicts had occurred within their Duke's Mansion before, in the eyes of outsiders, Gu Qingning was always her daughter-in-law.
She is her mother-in-law, the elder!
Someone from Guangping Marquis’ Mansion just came.
Mrs. Chen Hou was a flexible person. She did not mention the previous conflict at all, and did not even mention her own daughter, Shen Ruoying.
Just blindly caring about Gu Qingning.
Gu Qingning just chimed in casually, "Is Madam Shen feeling better?"
We had broken off the relationship before and there was no need for us to keep in touch with each other anymore, so there was no need to address each other by name.
Just be okay on the surface.
Sensing Gu Qingning's distance, Madam Shen Hou was unhappy, but she did not show it.
"The old lady is old and always in low spirits. She often mentions you and misses you."
"Ever since I heard you had a daughter, I've wanted to come visit you, but I wasn't feeling well."
Gu Qingning replied calmly, "In that case, you should take good care of yourself."
Mrs. Shenhou, who was planning to use the self-torture tactic, hit a wall that was neither soft nor hard. She left without saying a few words.
At this time, most of the noble ladies had come and gone to other places to rest, but Feng was still sitting here and refused to leave.
Gu Qingning: "Mother, you have been entertaining guests with me for half a day, so go to the side room and take a rest."
Feng: "I'm not tired."
Gu Qingning: "No, you are tired. Banxia, send my mother-in-law to the next room to rest."
Feng: “…”
No matter how unwilling she was, there was nothing she could do because Banxia was very strong.
With a little effort, he helped the person out.
After Feng arrived at the wing room, she was still angry, saying unpleasant things and making indirect accusations.
Banxia: "Madam, the young master has very good hearing, please don't let him hear it."
Feng: “…”
She suddenly stopped being sarcastic.
Inside the house, Granny Liao came over and helped Gu Qingning adjust the cushion behind her, smiling.
"It seems that the Duke's wife is still unwilling to leave."
Gu Qingning: "She is just vain and likes to hear people fawning on her. If it was a normal time, it would be fine, but Concubine Rou is coming, and we can't let Feng stay here."
Yes, the emperor and his concubine are here again.
Lu Jingyu received the news, went to the back door to greet them, and also sent a letter to Gu Qingning.
Granny Liao said with emotion: "I have to say that Concubine Rou is really a person with a very good temper."
"Even though it's inconvenient for her to leave the palace, she still came to see you and Miss Xiyao."
Gu Qingning nodded.
In fact, Concubine Rou is really a good person. Maybe everyone thinks she is too weak, but that is her nature.
Not everyone can be strong and indestructible when facing any situation.
If Qin Mingyue could get along well with Concubine Rou during these twenty years and have a close relationship with mother and daughter, Concubine Rou would definitely still treat Qin Mingyue well once the truth was revealed in the future.
Still love her as a daughter.
What a pity...
When Concubine Rou came, she looked very haggard and much thinner than the last time Gu Qingning saw her.
Ever since she learned that her child had been swapped, Concubine Rou has been having nightmares frequently.
I always dream that when I give birth, someone holds her baby and slowly walks into the darkness.
In the darkness, there were the miserable cries of children, which broke Concubine Rou's heart.
Under such torture, she was naturally in a very bad state.
But even so, when she heard His Majesty say that she could attend Xiao Xiyao's full moon banquet today, she still hurried over.
When Gu Qingning saw her like this, she felt heartbroken.
He quickly took her hand and sat her down, then took her pulse.
"My lady, your pulse is weak and your complexion is very bad. Have you been unable to eat during this period?"
Concubine Rou smiled bitterly, "I don't have much appetite."
Qin Xin beside her hurriedly said, "Princess, please try to persuade the queen. She only eats one meal a day now, and she eats very little. She often can't sleep at night, and she is becoming more and more haggard."
Gu Qingning frowned slightly after hearing this, "My Queen, can you help me hug Xiyao?"
Concubine Rou liked Xiyao very much and nodded.
It was just a little difficult to pick up the baby in the swaddle.
Concubine Rou was embarrassed.
Gu Qingning smiled and said, "My queen, you have to eat more and gain more strength. Otherwise, when Xiao Xiyao grows taller and fatter, you won't be able to hold her."
Concubine Rou: "I, I will try to eat more."
Gu Qingning held her hand and said sincerely, "Your Majesty, you must trust His Majesty and Jing Yu and the others. They will definitely be able to find out the truth of that year."
The truth of that year.
Concubine Rou knew Gu Qingning's good intentions, and she also thought that she really couldn't continue like this.
She nodded solemnly.
She lowered her head and looked at the beautiful girl in her arms, who was staring at her intently.
The little girl has very beautiful eyebrows, very bright eyes, a very straight nose tip, and when she smiles, there are shallow dimples at the corners of her mouth.
There is also a light pink teardrop mole under her left eye.
Concubine Rou was suddenly stunned.
Moisture slowly filled her eyes.
"Sister, sister also had a pink teardrop mole under her eye back then!"
The last time they saw the child, but the child had just been born and was still sleeping, with his little face wrinkled and not fully open.
Naturally, I didn't look at it carefully.
The child is now fair and soft with delicate facial features, and the light pink teardrop mole is immediately visible.
Looking at the excited Concubine Rou, Gu Qingning was slightly stunned.
Sometimes, blood is really amazing.
Concubine Rou and the late queen are sisters, and Lu Jingyu is Concubine Rou's son.
There is also a light pink teardrop mole at the corner of Xiao Xiyao's eye...
Concubine Rou was very happy and excited. She asked, "Can you bring little Xiyao to your majesty to see?"
Gu Qingning nodded, "I'll take the child over."
In the new courtyard, there is an exceptionally elegant courtyard, where Lu Jingyu is currently playing chess with Emperor Ming He.
Emperor Minghe came here in disguise again this time. The main reason was that he saw Concubine Rou was depressed all day long, so he brought her out to relax.
It won't alarm other people.
Emperor Minghe: "Don't you need to accompany other guests?"
Lu Jingyu: "You are the most distinguished guest."
Emperor Minghe said speechlessly to the eunuch Shun beside him, "A Shun, do you still remember that the original General Lu was not so flattering and slick?"
Eunuch Shun smiled and said, "Young Master, what you said is true. You are the most honorable one."
Emperor Minghe snorted, "Everyone knows how to flatter and fawn on others. I'm tired of hearing that."
Lu Jingyu: "It sounds annoying, but you still like to hear it."
He dropped a black piece.
Seeing that he was surrounded and blocked, Emperor Minghe didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"You, you are sometimes flattering, and sometimes upright and daring to accept advice. I don't know whether you are a traitor or a loyal minister."
"A powerful official."
No matter good or bad, just be loyal to His Majesty.
In fact, Lu Jingyu added in his heart: Yes, I am your son.
Emperor Minghe also placed a white piece. He asked curiously, "Jingyu, how did Duke Qin agree to let your whole family move out?"
Lu Jingyu: "He didn't agree at first. I mentioned it more than 30 times in total. Later, Qing Ning almost had an accident when she gave birth. When I mentioned it again, it was difficult for my father to refuse."
Emperor Minghe: "The Duke's Mansion's household supplies are still in Qingning's hands?"
Lu Jingyu: “Yes.”
This is amazing. I wonder how the Duke of Qin and his wife agreed to it?
Duke Qin felt guilty towards his eldest son.
And Feng, oh, her opinion no longer matters.
After a while, a large group of people came here.
Lu Jingyu frowned slightly at first, then he saw clearly that the person walking in front was his wife Gu Qingning.
After she gave birth, there was no change in her face weight, but she seemed to have become more beautiful.
Lu Jingyu couldn’t say anything specific, he just felt that his wife was more beautiful.
Everyone saluted Emperor Minghe.
Emperor Minghe raised his hand and said, "Why did you bring the child here? Don't let little Xiyao catch a cold."
Although the garden is full of cherry blossoms now, the weather has not yet completely warmed up.
Concubine Rou was very excited. She took the child from Gu Qingning's arms and brought him to Emperor Minghe.
"Your Majesty, please look at the bottom of the child's left eye!"
