Chapter 51: Good advice is hard to persuade the dead ghost
But Lu Li obviously had no intention of answering.
After crying for a while in the Weiyang Palace and chatting with the peacock for a long time, she was tired and fell asleep directly in Xia Shuying's arms.
Lu Yanshi learned that his daughter cried for no reason today and stopped crying after going to the zoo, so he made a decision immediately.
I have to bring back more cute and gentle little animals in the future, so that my daughter won't get bored staying in the palace.
Lu Qi also heard the rumor, and she went to find Jiang Man immediately.
"Mother, were you the one who spread the rumors about the Empress?" Lu Qi was angry and anxious.
"So what if it is, so what if it isn't." Jiang Man frowned as he looked at her in a riding suit.
"As a princess, why are you dressed like this?"
"I want to learn martial arts. My father has hired a teacher for me. I will practice riding and archery later." Lu Qi explained.
"Ridiculous! You are a princess who has reached marriage age. Why are you learning these useless things instead of preparing for your marriage?" Jiang Man looked at her with a look of disappointment.
"Riding and archery skills can save lives, how can they be called useless things? Even my father has approved of it!" Lu Qi retorted.
When she came back from her eldest sister's princess residence that day, she told her father that she wanted to learn riding and archery again.
Her father agreed and found her a teacher who was proficient in riding. She was very satisfied.
Seeing her talk back, Jiang Man became even more furious.
"Don't learn it. If you train yourself to the point of being covered in sweat, what man will like you? How can you find a husband?"
"I don't need them to like me, I just need them to respect me. As for the prince consort, I have chosen him. Once my father issues an edict, how dare they say they don't like me?" Lu Qi didn't care.
Born into a royal family, she knew from a young age that a man's love was the most unreliable thing.
When he likes you, you are the best in the world. After he falls in love with someone else, no matter how beautiful and knowledgeable you are, men will only think you are boring and vulgar.
Isn’t our father the most ready-made example?
It’s a pity that my mother still can’t see this fact clearly.
Jiang Man was so angry at her words that she fell backwards.
She had no idea that her daughter was so eloquent.
"Mother, I didn't come here today to discuss with you what I should learn or wear." Lu Qi put away his previous disapproving look and became serious.
"If you were the one who spread those rumors, I advise you to go and apologize to Concubine Hui as soon as possible. Say that you were just confused and said something nonsense, and someone heard it and spread it. You have already dealt with those who spread the rumors."
When Jiang Man heard the words "apology to Concubine Hui", she exploded.
Her voice suddenly became sharp: "Lu Qi, how could I have given birth to such a traitor like you! I can't apologize to her. Those are obviously the facts. She monopolized your father. How can she be worthy of being the queen of a country if she is so petty?"
Lu Qi looked at her with disappointment.
It turned out that it was my mother who did it. She just tricked her with some words and she admitted it.
"That's all I have to say. It's up to you." She turned and left.
She suggested that her mother apologize in order to find a way out for her mother. If her father found out, it would not be as simple as sending her to the cold palace again.
Good advice is not enough to persuade a dead person, and she has no other choice.
"Stop, stop right there!" Jiang Man rushed forward angrily to stop her, but couldn't catch up with her pace. He watched her leave his sight.
How could she have done such a sin by giving birth to such a rebellious daughter?
"Jia Ning, why is my Jia Ning gone?" Jiang Man missed her dead little daughter and cried bitterly.
…
This rumor soon spread in the harem and the front court, and some court officials were indeed dissatisfied with Xia Shuyi.
How could an empress monopolize the emperor all day long and not let him favor other concubines? This is too ungenerous and does not behave like the master of the harem.
Lord Qu, whose daughter was a concubine in the harem, couldn't help but speak out.
"Your Majesty should treat all the concubines equally, instead of favoring one person. How can a jealous woman be a role model for the six palaces?"
"Are you teaching me how to do things? Then before I favor someone, do I have to write a memorial to ask for your permission?" Lu Yanshi stared at him with a fake smile.
Seeing his unfriendly look, Lord Qu quickly said, "I have absolutely no such intention."
The adults who were held hostage by Lu Yanshi said nothing and allowed these fools to charge into the battle line.
They already knew that if the emperor wanted to do something, they should not try to stop him. Even if they wanted to stop him, they couldn't, so it was better to go along with him.
When Qu Zhiwei learned about this, she almost fainted: her own father harmed her!!!
The Qu family should keep a low profile and behave themselves. Why do they go and provoke the emperor for no reason?
During this time, she had guessed that the emperor must be able to hear Lu Li's thoughts, so he was particularly fond of Xia Shuyi.
She immediately wrote a letter back to her parents' home, asking her father to be careful with his words and actions in the future and not to interfere in the emperor's harem.
Of the original four concubines, only she and Concubine Shu were left. Did her father want her to be demoted as well?
Lord Qu felt even more aggrieved. He just wanted to speak up for his daughter, but why did his daughter ask him to stay out of the matter?
But it was useless for him to feel wronged, as the matter of establishing a queen was imperative.
Soon it was the day of the Queen's coronation ceremony.
On this day, the sky was covered with dark clouds and not a single ray of sunlight could be seen.
Xia Shuyi couldn't help but feel a little worried.
This doesn't seem like a good sign.
Because the queen was to be crowned today, neither Lu Yanshi nor Xia Shuyi could hug Lu Li.
So Lu Li was carried by Lu Heng to watch the ceremony.
Looking at the dark sky, Lu Li felt unhappy.
[What the hell is Qin Tianjian calculating? Why is the weather so gloomy?]
[Forget it, forget it. What use is the Qintianjian? It still depends on me. I think my father should just give their salary to me.]
Lu Li chattered on and contacted the Sun God.
Because she was the first one in the Three Realms who was struck by the Heaven's fault, all the star gods and gods had visited her "soul".
So while she was waiting for heaven to arrange her reincarnation, she became familiar with these guys with her strong gossip ability.
[The Sun God should give me this favor, right? ]
Lu Li muttered uncertainly.
Lu Heng looked confused after hearing this.
His sister was mumbling something, but he couldn't understand.
At this time, Xia Shuyi, dressed in her best, wearing the queen's formal dress, sat on the queen's carriage, and walked steadily towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The ceremony of enthroning the empress required offering sacrifices to heaven and earth first, and after reading the blessing, the empress needed to kneel three times and kowtow six times to complete the ceremony. Then the emperor and empress would join hands and ascend the throne in the hall to finally complete the enthronement.
When Xia Shuyi arrived in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he found that the weather was still a little gloomy, and his heart suddenly became heavy.
Will the miracle my daughter talked about really happen?
