Chapter 120 Who said I was going to take a concubine?
Lu Jingyu's brows were instantly wrinkled into a shape of "川".
The disdain is evident in his words.
We have just left the capital and the journey is long. Even if the carriage is big enough, who would be willing to squeeze in with you two?
He refused decisively.
"It's not convenient, Hangzhi, go find another carriage."
Lu Hangzhi outside the car: "..."
The remaining two carriages: one belonged to my father and mother, and the other one was occupied by Duke Qin's two concubines and Lu Hangzhi's concubine Bi Yue.
It’s not convenient either.
Gu Qingning didn't say anything. She didn't want to chase them away directly, but there was no need to do so. So she spoke up for Lu Hangzhi and the others at this time.
She saw that the couple were also uncomfortable, so there was no need for her to pretend to be magnanimous at this time, which would only make Lu Jingyu uncomfortable.
Because the team could not stop for too long, and in the end, Feng, who felt sorry for her son, made the decision to let Duke Qin's two concubines get into their carriage.
Lu Hangzhi, Shen Ruoying, and the remaining Bi Yue, rode in the same carriage.
Feng felt depressed when she saw the two old concubines sitting next to Duke Qin.
But after all, it was she who agreed to let people get on the car, so she couldn't get angry at them. The most important thing was that Duke Qin was still here.
Feng finally said in frustration: "Gu Qingning is really ignorant. The carriage is very spacious, more than enough for five or six people. Why didn't you let Hangzhi and the others sit?"
Duke Qin frowned and said, "Maybe Jing Yu didn't let them sit."
Feng: "Jingyu has had a very good relationship with the Hangzhi brothers since they were young, why would he not let them go?"
Aunt Zhao, who was sitting next to him, said weakly, "It's true that the young master rejected it outright, and the eldest young mistress didn't even have time to say anything."
Feng: “…”
Duke Qin sighed and said, "After what happened before, Jingyu has some opinions about Hangzhi, which is not a good thing. From now on, we have to find a way to make the relationship between the two brothers better as soon as possible."
Feng's attention was immediately diverted and she nodded in agreement.
Now that Lu Jingyu has inherited the title, he will have the final say in the Duke's Mansion. Before Hangzhi gains more power, he really cannot break up with his brother.
It’s all Shen Ruoying’s fault!
When Feng thought about Hangzhi and Shen Ruoying getting back together, she got so angry that her head hurt.
He raised his head and saw the two old concubines gathering around Duke Qin.
Feng just felt her head hurting even more!
The atmosphere in the carriage of Cuiwei Pavilion was not much better. Shen Ruoying and Lu Hangzhi were back to their old relationship. They completely treated Biyue as a servant...
In comparison, the atmosphere between Gu Qingning and Lu Jingyu was simply too good.
Lu Jingyu sighed, "I won't take concubines anymore. Too many women means more trouble."
Gu Qingning choked and didn't know how to respond.
There is no woman in the world who would like her husband to have three wives and four concubines.
But the point is, Gu Qingning and Lu Jingyu’s situations are somewhat special.
She had no right to ask him to be with her for the rest of her life, at least, not now.
When Lu Jingyu saw her silence, he misunderstood her.
He explained very patiently: "Madam, are you worried that you won't be able to have a son in the future, or that we won't be able to have children?"
"It's okay. If you don't have a son, you can have a daughter."
"If you don't have a child, then you can adopt a child from another family."
Doesn’t Lu Jingyu like children?
No, he liked it very much.
However, he didn't want to put too much pressure on Gu Qingning. At least for now, she was still young and shouldn't waste all her time on having children.
Let everything take its course.
If it works, everyone is happy; if not, he will keep working hard.
However, Qing Ning is so young, knows medicine, and cultivates his character... If he doesn't have a child, then it must be his problem.
Should he find a royal doctor to see him later?
But no matter what, women all loved to hear what Lu Jingyu said.
Looking at his serious eyes and handsome face, Gu Qingning once again wondered why Princess Jiamin and other noble ladies all liked Lu Jingyu.
It is indeed difficult for women to resist a tough guy with a soft heart.
Gu Qingning took the initiative to lean towards Lu Jingyu, put her face on his chest, and listened to his heartbeat, which hit her chest again and again.
Lu Jingyu was frozen by her action, and his eyes became darker and darker.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just suddenly want to thank Ruoying again for giving me such a good husband."
Lu Jingyu felt a burning sensation in his ears, and he reached out to lower the curtain next to him to block the view inside the carriage.
He hummed in a low voice, "We have many children and live a long and healthy life, which is the best way to thank her."
Gu Qingning: "..."
Are you sure that's a thank you?
Are you sure that Shen Ruoying won’t be mad to death?
Finally, in the evening, we arrived at the royal palace.
Someone of Duke Qin's status naturally had a fixed courtyard residence. After his female family members were settled, Duke Qin and Lu Jingyu were summoned by His Majesty.
Lu Hang's official position is too low and he will not be summoned for the time being.
So it wasn't surprising at all that Gu Qingning, accompanied by Banxia, ran into Lu Hangzhi and Shen Ruoying in the yard.
They nodded slightly to each other, and Gu Qingning turned and left without any intention of staying.
Shen Ruoying said with some grievance: "Qing Ning has distanced herself from me after all, and it's all my fault. I was bewildered before and did those wrong things."
She talked for a while, and found that Lu Hangzhi beside her had not spoken for a long time, and a hint of depression flashed in his eyes.
But she pretended that she didn't notice that Lu Hangzhi was looking at Gu Qingning.
Lu Hangzhi waited until Gu Qingning walked away before he said dejectedly, "I'm a little tired. Let's go back to the room and rest."
"Well, I'll do as you say."
Lu Hangzhi looked at the very obedient Shen Ruoying, and he was still very sure that he still liked her.
But for some reason, the other party was so obedient that he felt that his love for her was slowly becoming vague, because he felt that she was no different from others...
**
Longyuan Palace is located in the center of the royal palace and is also the largest.
The royal family lived here.
Emperor Minghe usually called Lu Jingyu and some of his important ministers to talk, but considering that it was getting late, he didn't say much and asked them to go back and rest.
Lu Jingyu thought about finding an imperial physician to check his pulse, and then let his father, Duke Qin, go back and rest.
As a result, he met Princess Jiamin on the way, who was dressed in red and walked towards him angrily.
Lu Jingyu frowned and immediately took two steps back when the other party approached.
Men and women should not touch each other, and the other party wanted to marry him before, so Lu Jingyu thought that they should keep a certain distance.
But Princess Jiamin misunderstood.
Seeing Lu Jingyu take two steps back, she said angrily:
"What's wrong? Are you feeling guilty? You said before that you would only marry Gu Qingning, but now, you've only been married for a short time and you're actually taking a concubine!"
Lu Jingyu frowned, "Who said I want to take a concubine?"
