Chapter 313 Emperor Minghe's White Moonlight
Gu Qingning was shocked after hearing this.
But then she remembered what Lu Jingyu had said to her before.
Lu Jingyu mentioned to Lu Hangzhi in a veiled way:
If Qin Tingfang is Qin Tingfang, then she will have nothing to do with him, Lu Hangzhi, in the future.
But if Qin Tingfang is Shen Ruoying, then she is still his, Lu Hangzhi's concubine!
As everyone knows, although Lu Hangzhi has many shortcomings, he is deeply in love with Shen Ruoying.
He is having troubles now, if only he could find Shen Ruoying again.
He will certainly do his best to do it.
That is to say, at this moment in the lotus pond, Lu Hangzhi should be doing his best to uncover Shen Ruoying's mask.
So for Gu Qingning and the others, this is the best time to determine whether the other party is using disguise or face-changing.
Thinking of this, Gu Qingning said, "I have to go over and take a look."
Princess Jiamin stroked her belly and said, "I'll go too!"
Gu Qingning: "But..."
Princess Jiamin: "It's okay, I'll stand further away. Let's go quickly, or the fun will be over soon!"
Gu Qingning didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but still nodded and didn't refuse her.
When they rushed over, the two people who fell into the water had already been rescued.
Qin Tingfang was wrapped in a blanket, shivering all over, and his eyes were gloomy.
After all, it is November now, and although the lake water is not frozen solid, it is still icy cold.
The corners of Qin Tingfang's mouth turned white due to the cold, but her cheeks were inexplicably red.
Fingerprints can be vaguely seen.
Gu Qingning understood.
It must be that after Lu Hangzhi carried her into the water, he pulled her face.
But if Lu Hangzhi really cared about Shen Ruoying, why would he push her into the icy lake on such a cold day?
So, although Lu Hangzhi loves Chen Ruoying.
But the person he loves most is still himself.
Lu Hangzhi was not much better, he was also trembling all over, but no one gave him a cloak.
He seemed to have lost his soul, and said in a daze, "That's impossible. How could there be no mask?"
Gu Qingning understood it clearly.
Qin Tingfang used the face-changing technique.
Knowing that something happened here, many people rushed over.
Lu Jingyu and Ouyang Rui arrived one after another, and they both looked at their wives first.
He heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that his wife was fine.
Ouyang Rui walked up to Princess Jiamin and asked about her well-being.
Lu Jingyu also walked towards Gu Qingning. The couple looked at each other tacitly without saying anything.
The Ninth Prince was also alarmed.
He was pushed over to her and looked at her face with concern, "Tingfang, are you okay?"
Qin Tingfang shook his head.
Ninth Prince: "What's going on?"
Qin Tingfang raised his head, looked at Lu Hangzhi who seemed to have suffered a huge blow, and said in a deep voice:
"Godfather, I was just walking on the road, and I don't know why, this Mr. Lu suddenly rushed over and tried to offend me."
"I couldn't struggle free, so he actually hugged me and jumped into the lake."
"Is he trying to have physical contact with me so that I will have to marry him?"
Qin Tingfang was already in a state of disgrace, and she started crying again when she said this.
The Ninth Prince's eyes revealed a strong murderous intent as he looked coldly at Lu Changhui who had just arrived.
"Marquis Ping'an, you have a good son!"
"This matter will not end until he dies to atone for his crime!"
Lu Changhui: “…”
He originally didn't want to attend the banquet today, but Mingyue went to the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace, so he had to come and apologize.
In addition, Hangzhi also said that he must come today.
As a result, such a big thing happened!
While Lu Changhui was apologizing to the Ninth Prince, he turned around and slapped his son hard.
"Idiot, why don't you go and apologize to the prince and the county lady!"
Lu Hangzhi was already weak, and he had just been rescued from an icy lake.
He suffered another huge blow.
After being slapped by his father, he suddenly felt dizzy and passed out.
Gu Qingning quietly looked at Lu Hangzhi who was lying on the ground, ignored by everyone.
He is completely different from the Second Young Master Lu who married Chen Ruoying with high spirits back then.
Suddenly, Lu Jingyu stretched out his big hand and held her slightly cold fingertips.
"It's getting late, let's go back home."
"Um."
With such a thing happening in the palace, Lu Changhui would probably have a headache with the follow-up matters.
I guess the Ninth Prince won't let it go.
But these have nothing to do with them anymore.
Sitting in the carriage, Lu Jingyu still did not let go of his hand.
Gu Qingning felt warmer in his big hand than with a hand warmer.
Lu Jingyu: "Are you worried about Lu Hangzhi?"
Gu Qingning shook her head. "I'm worried about what he will do. His fate today is all his own fault."
The Ping'an Marquis Mansion fell into complete decline.
Qin Tingfang, who is angry and humiliated, probably won't let him go.
Gu Qingning mentioned what happened in the Cining Palace today.
"Jing Yu, did you know that the girl Jiang who appeared at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet today is actually the concubine that the Queen Mother prepared for you?"
The couple had already agreed that if anything went wrong, they would just talk about it.
But we can't let the enemy take advantage of their guesswork and affect the relationship between them.
Lu Jingyu frowned after hearing this.
"What is she going to do? She knows that woman looks exactly like Empress Yuan!"
"Is she really trying to alienate me from my father?"
Gu Qingning: "I can't guess what she's thinking. Not only that, she also said that she wants Miss Cui to be your concubine as well."
"I have already reported to the Queen Mother as you said before, but it seems that she will not give up."
Lu Jingyu: "She still doesn't want to leave the Cui family behind? Well, that's good, then we'll deal with these two families together."
He still has the evidence of the Jiang family's collusion with the Western Regions in his hands.
As for the Empress Dowager’s family, the Cui family, although they did not collude with the enemy country, they were definitely not clean.
"Before I move into the East Palace, I will definitely deal with these two families. Let's see what the Queen Mother will say!"
Gu Qingning: "Will Father be embarrassed by then?"
Lu Jingyu: "He either has to watch from the sidelines or help me."
"If he stands with the Queen Mother at this time, then after I take the position of Crown Prince, I will have no choice but to ask him to retire as soon as possible."
The most important thing is to have power in your own hands.
Being the crown prince was never Lu Jingyu's end.
But the starting point.
At the same time, Emperor Minghe in the Qianqing Palace also learned what happened in the Cining Palace today.
He didn't speak for a long time.
Eunuch Shun whispered, "Your Majesty, someone from the Cining Palace said that the Queen Mother wants you to come over for dinner."
In fact, after the birthday banquet and drinking some wine at noon, Emperor Minghe actually had no appetite.
I guess the Queen Mother feels the same way.
It is said that the Queen Mother kept the daughters of the Cui family and the Jiang family in the palace, and the purpose of calling Emperor Minghe to go at this time is self-evident.
Eunuch Shun was very worried: "Your Majesty..."
Emperor Minghe raised his hand and said, "Tell him to go back and tell him that I will come over after I finish my official duties."
"yes."
After a while, Emperor Minghe finished his official business, but did not go directly to the Cining Palace.
Instead, he went to Qiulu Palace first.
Concubine Rou was in a complicated mood today.
When she heard Emperor Minghe ask her to accompany him to the Cining Palace for dinner, she was even more stunned.
"His Majesty……"
Emperor Minghe: "Yurou, do you think she looks like Nanqing?"
Concubine Rou: "She does look alike, but her temperament is not as good as your sister's. Besides, this is the first time I have seen her..."
Emperor Minghe suddenly remembered what Jingyu had said before about the face-changing technique.
He frowned: "You haven't even seen the Jiang family girl?"
Concubine Rou: "The Jiang family usually doesn't come to the palace, and I haven't seen them for a long time."
"I really didn't know that I had a niece who looked so much like my sister."
A few years ago, Su Tanxin was still Concubine Su. She was in charge of the six palaces, and Concubine Rou had always been humble.
In addition, Concubine Rou was originally just a concubine of the Jiang family and had not given birth to a prince.
The Jiang family felt that they could not benefit from the situation and therefore did not visit each other often.
It was only after Su Tanxin's downfall in the past two years that Concubine Rou took charge of the six palaces.
He had just recognized his biological son.
Emperor Minghe's eyes softened, "I remember you said that in the entire Jiang family, Nan Qing is the only one who treats you well."
Concubine Rou nodded, and when she thought of her sister, tears welled up in her eyes.
"In fact, the moment I saw my niece, I was happy. I thought my sister had returned!"
"But, I also know that she is not my sister. No one can ever replace my sister!"
Concubine Rou said this with true feelings.
But it also touched the heart of Emperor Minghe.
He sighed: "Yes, no one can replace Nan Qing, she is unique."
She is the most important white moonlight in his heart.
Qin Xin and Qi Yi, who were walking behind, looked at each other.
Silently gave their queen a thumbs up.
This sentence is simply great!
Emperor Minghe, who had calmed down, brought Concubine Rou into the Cining Palace.
As expected, I saw the girl from the Jiang family, the girl from the Cui family, and Qin Mingyue still beside the Queen Mother.
I don’t know why the Queen Mother brought Qin Mingyue into this again.
But Emperor Minghe knew very well what Qin Mingyue had done.
I just don’t know if the Queen Mother knows about this.
"Greetings to His Majesty!" Upon seeing this, the three women hurriedly stood up and bowed to Emperor Minghe first.
Afterwards, they bowed to Concubine Rou together.
"Greetings, Madam Roufei."
After the greetings were exchanged, the Queen Mother glanced at Concubine Rou with a little displeasure, but did not say anything.
She looked at Emperor Minghe with concern:
"Your Majesty, I just said that you were still reviewing memorials. Why don't you take a rest today?"
Emperor Minghe smiled and said, "Today is Queen Mother's birthday, it's all that matters as long as she's happy."
"As for me, I also want to finish handling government affairs as soon as possible, so that I can have a good rest after the key is sealed at the end of the year."
The Queen Mother: "Then you should also take care of yourself."
"As for official duties, you can let Jingyu and Xuanlang help you share the worries."
Emperor Minghe nodded, "It has relieved them of some of their worries."
The Queen Mother nodded slightly.
When the food was served, no one spoke anymore. After all, one should not talk while eating or sleeping.
However, after the meal, the Queen Mother invited Emperor Minghe to drink two cups of tea. She smiled and said to Jiang Wanran:
"Wanran, go and pour His Majesty a cup of tea."
Jiang Wanran's ears flushed slightly. She nodded, then brought the teapot to Emperor Minghe.
The girl has bright eyes and white teeth, is gentle and beautiful, yet shy and timid.
"Your Majesty, please have some tea."
She picked up the teacup and raised her head, just in time to see Emperor Minghe looking at her.
Suddenly my hand shook.
All the water in the tea bowl spilled onto Emperor Minghe!
