Chapter 233 I Only Want You
Emperor Minghe frowned slightly.
I felt that Concubine Rou was suddenly a little less dignified and steady. She has never been like this. What happened today?
Never mind.
She has been in a bad mood and in poor health recently, so I brought her out today to make her happier.
Don't be too harsh.
Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, and Jing Yu and his wife are trustworthy and will not say anything nonsense.
After Emperor Minghe thought about this, his eyes lowered to the little girl in the cradle.
The little girl suddenly smiled.
It gives people a feeling of thousands of pear trees in bloom.
But the next moment, Emperor Minghe's eyes suddenly shrank, and he finally understood why Concubine Rou had lost her composure just now!
"Her, the bottom of her left eye..."
Looking at the emperor and his concubine, each more excited than the other, Lu Jingyu raised his eyebrows slightly.
Gu Qingning walked up to him and whispered, "Xiyao has a teardrop mole under her eye, just like the late queen."
Lu Jingyu suddenly understood.
The only thing that could make His Majesty lose his composure like this could be something related to the late Queen.
Everyone else was sent away, and Lu Jingyu and Gu Qingning and his wife waited by the side.
Emperor Minghe waited until his hands were sore from holding the child, but he still couldn't bear to put the child down.
In the past, there were concubines who imitated the emperor by putting teardrop moles under their eyes in the hope of gaining the favor of Emperor Minghe.
There are even people who have teardrop moles under their eyes, but they are not pink.
However, the pink teardrop mole under Xiao Xiyao's eyes, as pink as the color of petals, is exactly the same as that of the late queen!
Emperor Minghe was in a daze. After a long while, he reluctantly handed the child to Gu Qingning and the others.
Calm down slowly.
Lu Jingyu: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Emperor Minghe looked at him speechlessly, "Do you think I am in trouble? Well, today is Xiyao's good day, you two can't stay here forever, and Concubine Rou and I are leaving too."
The emperor and his concubine really couldn't stay here for long.
Emperor Minghe wanted to leave, and Lu Jingyu and Gu Qingning could not stop him.
However, Concubine Rou was a little reluctant to leave, so Emperor Minghe held her hand and said softly, "Come back when you are free."
"yes."
A concubine was not supposed to leave the palace at will, and Emperor Minghe had broken this rule for her several times.
After they got on the carriage quietly from the corner door, the curtain was lowered and the carriage drove away gradually.
Different from the main road in front of the busy courtyard.
This path is very quiet and peaceful, with the occasional vendors hawking their wares on the roadside adding to the warm, homely feel.
Concubine Rou excitedly held Emperor Minghe's hand.
"Your Majesty, isn't this amazing? The daughter born by Qing Ning has the same teardrop mole as her elder sister!"
She was really happy.
And it feels amazing too.
"My sister has come to see us in a different way."
Compared to the excited Concubine Rou, Emperor Minghe had much more on his mind.
It is already very clear that Qingning is an orphan, but she is a few years younger than Mingyue, so their ages don't match.
So, is it just a coincidence?
Maybe not...
After seeing off the Emperor and Consort, Gu Qingning asked Lu Jingyu in a low voice, "Your Majesty, will they come up with anything?"
Lu Jingyu: "No, it's just a teardrop mole, but this incident still made him upset."
This was the first time Lu Jingyu saw Emperor Minghe lose his composure like this.
Gu Qingning agreed, "Your Majesty is indeed deeply in love with the late queen."
Lu Jingyu shook his head, "He must have deep feelings for her, but it's more of a regret. After all, they were a young couple who got separated halfway."
"The most important thing in his heart is the Chu Empire. Otherwise, he wouldn't have married so many concubines and had so many children."
Gu Qingning shook her head, "He is the emperor."
Even if Emperor Minghe was unwilling to take another concubine, the ministers would meet him to select concubines, and the empress dowager would advise him to have more children.
I have no choice.
Lu Jingyu: "Then he doesn't seem to have many sons now."
There is no point in claiming to be affectionate but only keeping half of it.
Gu Qingning didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You are too bold, how can you say that about His Majesty."
Lu Jingyu: "I'm telling the truth."
If you don't like them, why do you still touch those women?
If the emperor had not favored Concubine Su, allowing her to become arrogant and lawless, so many things would not have happened later.
For example, Lu Jingyu himself has no interest in women at all.
When I was young and had just entered the officialdom, I went out for drinks with my superiors. My superiors and colleagues all called beautiful women to accompany us.
He also called out to the young Lu Jingyu.
As soon as the woman put her hand on Lu Jingyu's arm, his face immediately showed disgust and he withdrew his arm.
He was choked by the smell of the woman's rouge and powder and became irritable all over.
Later, his colleagues became familiar with his temper and no longer dragged him into such a situation.
Later, we grew up and got married.
Lu Jingyu and Gu Qingning became a real couple.
After Gu Qingning became pregnant, he heard that pregnant women should not have sex, so he naturally didn't want to hurt her.
But he was just full of vigor and vitality and was just beginning to get excited about that matter.
Once, I attended a banquet with colleagues.
A woman dressed very gorgeously slowly approached... and Lu Jingyu smelled that pungent scent of rouge and powder again.
Extremely disgusting.
He immediately kicked the man out.
Thinking of this, Lu Jingyu suddenly said to Gu Qingning solemnly: "I am different, I only want you!"
Gu Qingning was suddenly stunned. She didn't expect that the topic would turn to herself.
She was touched and curious and asked, "Why?"
Lu Jingyu: "The smells on them are all too bad, only you smell the best."
Gu Qingning: “…” What kind of reason is this?
Xiao Xiyao's full moon banquet was held with great enthusiasm.
Later, Gu Qingning just chatted with a few young sisters.
Princess Jiamin is a lively person, without any of the timidity and shyness of a bride-to-be.
She asked Wei Shuhe curiously, "Is Su Yue really helping you as the accountant in the clinic now?"
Wei Shuhe was helpless, "I can't drive him away, so I have to let him be."
Princess Jiamin: "Concubine Su has been punished by His Majesty. I guess he won't be taken care of for a while."
"So, the good things are coming to you two, right?"
Wei Shuhe shook his head. "Let's talk about it later. Besides, my family doesn't like him either."
Wei Qingxu has now entered the Dali Temple, and he looks down on Su Yue anyway.
A weak scholar like him is not worthy of his sister at all!
Nalan Zhu'er didn't know Su Yue and couldn't get involved in this topic.
She sat there bored, watching the sleeping Xiao Xiyao blowing bubbles, and reached out to gently poke her little face.
Gu Qingning looked at them and suddenly thought that there was one person missing.
Chen Ya.
After Concubine Su and the Third Prince are completely overthrown, Chen Ya will be free again.
At this time, Chen Ya was in the palace, and Concubine Zuo had just left with the child.
The maid helped Chen Ya remove her makeup and change her clothes, and whispered:
"Master, since you like children so much, you can have one with His Majesty later."
"Although you have other plans, His Majesty is really good to you, and His Majesty is not too old."
This palace maid is Chen Ya's confidant. She came from the Chen family with Chen Ya, so she naturally knows the real purpose of Chen Ya's entering the palace.
And not easy.
Chen Ya shook her head. "I don't like children that much, but when I was teasing Zuopin's daughter today, I thought of Qingning's Xiyao."
Today is Xiao Xiyao’s full moon banquet, and I heard that Qing Ning has moved again.
Finally, I don’t have to live with those corrupt people in the Duke’s Mansion.
Chen Ya was really happy for the little sisters.
But when she thought that Jiamin and the others would go to see Qingning today, she was the only one locked in the deep palace.
It is inevitable to have some lows.
After a while, a palace servant came in to report.
"Your Majesty, Sister Qiyi from Concubine Rou's side is here. She said she brought you some things."
"Well, let her in."
The spirit of chess came in quickly, and I blessed myself.
"My lady, these are the wedding eggs and cakes that the princess gave you. She said she didn't know what flavor you would like, so she prepared one for each of you."
Chen Ya felt warm in her heart when she heard this. She picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.
It's really sweet.
Vaguely, she recalled the time she and her sisters spent together when she was staying in the clinic to recuperate.
It’s so beautiful.
Just be patient until Concubine Su is completely overthrown and the Third Prince is completely deposed.
She will be free!
**
The new mansion of Lu Jingyu and his family only had "Lu Mansion" written on the doorplate.
Everyone in the Duke's Mansion finished the banquet and finally left.
Now Lu Jingyu is a favorite of His Majesty and is at the peak of his career.
Almost half of the dignitaries in the capital came to today's banquet.
I guess the only one missing is Your Majesty.
Feng had had enough of her time and was about to leave, but she couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
"What a pity! If Jingyu and his family hadn't moved out, it would be our Duke's Mansion that would be the bustling place today."
Duke Qin didn't want to pay attention to her.
Lu Hangzhi coughed lightly.
Mrs. Feng realized that she was also responsible for Lu Jingyu and his wife moving out, so she simply stopped talking about the topic.
She changes one.
"By the way, Duke, Songtao Pavilion is now vacant. It's empty anyway, so leave it to Hangzhi."
"There are many people in his courtyard, and Yuan'er is about to give birth."
Duke Qin's eyes fell on his son Lu Hangzhi and asked, "Are you going to take a concubine again?"
Lu Hangzhi immediately shook his head, "No, no, no, father, I don't want to take a concubine."
Duke Qin: "Then continue to live here. Isn't Cuiwei Pavilion big enough for your wives and concubines? Don't think about moving into Songtao Pavilion. Leave it for Jingyu and the others!"
Lu Hangzhi: “Yes.”
There was no intention of attacking Songtao Pavilion at all.
He looked at his mother Feng with resentment, and Feng dared not say anything.
After returning to the Duke's Mansion, Duke Qin went to visit Aunt Mei.
Feng couldn't help but said depressedly: "Why is it that Zhao Jing left and he doesn't want to go back to my room?"
Lu Hangzhi didn't want to respond, so he said something random and turned away.
Seeing that eldest brother's house was very lively today, Lu Hangzhi felt empty inside.
The eldest brother is very kind to Qing Ning and the children.
Looking at Qing Ning surrounded by noble ladies, Lu Hangzhi felt extremely sad.
It was like a very beautiful thing that originally belonged to him, but now it belongs to someone else.
What is even more distressing is that:
He sent it out personally...
