Chapter 167: Rekindling the past relationship? I choose the third way
Ji Qingwu's little tricks in the beginning were all seen through by Wei Ting, and later he could only use his own clumsy methods to pry them open little by little.
Finally, things started to get better and I was given the right to enter and leave his tent freely, but then I realized I had the wrong person...
In this way, on the day Wei Tinggang returned to the court, he learned of her identity from Concubine Wei. The next day, he was so eager to make their "intimate" relationship known to the public with great fanfare.
What do you want to do?
Although Ji Qingwu didn't understand, he could sense that something was very wrong.
Seeing a trace of worry between Xiaowu's brows, Qiao was defeated. All the mistakes were Wei Ting's fault. It was all because of him who did not treat Xiaowu well.
Qiao took Ji Qingwu's hand and asked in a softer tone, "Xiaowu, just tell me something. Do you really want to continue your relationship with Wei Ting?"
Ji Qingwu no longer felt the sense of crisis of having a knife on her neck. She held Qiao's hand and said without hesitation, "I don't want to."
At the beginning, she was like a "heartless person" and disappeared and ran away. How could she know that Wei Ting was not doing it to take revenge on her.
But this matter, she doesn't want to get married, can she be allowed to not get married?
If you don't want to get married, there is only one solution which is not a solution.
Ji Qingwu silently compared the two options of entering the palace and marrying Wei Ting.
An abyss, a bottomless pit, each has its own suffering.
Seeing Xiaowu hanging his head with his neck bent in a beautiful arc, Qiao's eyes were filled with pity. She raised her hand and stroked Ji Qingwu's back.
The reassuring aroma of soapberry wafted over, and Ji Qingwu leaned lightly towards Qiao's direction.
She was becoming less and less interested in getting married, and there was a reason for this...
Ji Qingwu, as a mother, feels ashamed just thinking about it.
Because she had finally gained her mother's love and care, she wanted to enjoy a few more years of these wonderful days lying on Qiao's lap.
Mrs. Qiao touched her shiny black hair, and his eyes upon her were warm and peaceful.
A mother's heart is always concerned about long-term issues.
"Xiao Wu, I know you must be heartbroken, that's why you don't want to get married, but the Wei family is powerful, Wei Ting is a man with real power, and there is also a favored concubine Wei in the palace."
Listening to Qiao's calm analysis of the situation, Ji Qingwu's heart also calmed down.
"Before the emperor makes a final decision, I have a plan, but I need your consent."
Hearing that there was a third way, Ji Qingwu suddenly became motivated. She sat up straight with her eyes shining.
"I listen to my mother."

It has been some time since Princess Huachang returned to Lin'an City.
After catching up with Wei Chi Lianping's army, in order to keep her heir, she insisted on marching with him for a few more days.
The road was bumpy, and there was nothing else. Princess Huachang experienced all the hardships she had never experienced in her life in these few days.
Of course, there are others who are even more upset.
Because the princess was afraid of mosquitoes at night, Yuchi Lianping burned mugwort around the carriage and wandered around the carriage like a wandering soul, holding a cattail leaf fan.
Also, the princess loves cleanliness and wants to find a place to take a bath, but where can she find one in this place covered with yellow earth? Yuchi Lianping was so worried that he even had a few white hairs growing on his head.
During the day, he would be criticized by Princess Huachang in various ways, and at night he would be served like a waiter.
For the first time in his life, General Yuchi wanted to be separated from his beloved princess for a short hour.
After Princess Huachang returned to Lin'an, she rested for a long time with a lazy look on her face and did not leave her room for two days.
If the news of the morning court had not reached her ears, Princess Huachang would have planned to lie down for a while longer.
In a pavilion in a corner of the Imperial Garden.
Princess Huachang, wearing a white silk shirt embroidered with orchids, sat in the pavilion, with a maid standing behind her, fanning her.
For some reason, she was more afraid of heat these days.
Emperor Wu Su stood in a corner of the pavilion, looking at the surface of Taiye Lake, and his eyes saw the water surface wrinkled by the breeze.
The two of them admired the shimmering lake light, and half a cup of tea passed without anyone speaking a word.
Princess Huachang was tired of sitting, so she stood up and said in a cold tone, "Your Majesty, I'm back."
Emperor Wu Su just hummed softly and didn't even look back at her.
It seemed like it had become the norm for the two of them to get along.
Princess Huachang took a few steps and heard someone behind her calling out in a deep voice, "Royal Sister."
She stopped, turned and stared at him, waiting for the emperor to speak.
Emperor Wu Su did not move, still with his back to her, his eyes fixed on the lake. His back was tall and straight, and he had never bent his back for anything.
Princess Huachang's eyes moved slightly, because his back was gloomy, as if there was a beast hiding in it that wanted to break out of the cage, but was imprisoned by its remaining sanity.
She had never seen this younger brother before, but just the back view of him revealed such an unbearable look.
But the next moment, the emperor suddenly chuckled.
She followed the emperor's line of sight and saw a delicate pink lotus flower, tenderly spreading its petals against the backdrop of lotus leaves.
At this time, the clear water was no longer calm. A golden carp suddenly jumped out of the lake, broke through the water surface, took a bite of a lotus petal, then dived back into the water and swam away happily.
The scene of fish playing with lotus is elegant and lively.
Princess Huachang raised her eyebrows slightly and praised: "It's quite interesting."
Emperor Wu Su's mood improved, and after turning around, there was no more anxiety between his brows.
"Sister, go back and rest early."
Princess Huachang nodded and left, and unexpectedly ran into Prince Yong at the corner.
Prince Yong looked even more gloomy than the emperor. He said dejectedly, "Greetings, sister."
What happened to each of them?
Although Princess Huachang had her doubts, she did not want to meddle in other people's affairs. After responding calmly, she planned to leave.
Prince Yong called her from behind again: "Imperial sister." This scene was somewhat similar to the one just now.
Princess Huachang's eyes fell on the palace at the corner, which should be Anle Hall where people who made mistakes were punished.
Although it is called peace and happiness, you can only seek peace and happiness in your dreams, as there is endless work to do during the day.
Prince Yong took a few steps forward and asked pleadingly, "Sister, can you help me?"
Princess Huachang rarely saw the cynical Prince Yong with such a fragile expression.
"What happened?"
When Princess Huachang went to chase her husband, she didn't know what happened in the palace, and she didn't ask about it after she came back. She didn't know that Princess Yong had been imprisoned in Anle Hall.
"Royal sister, please help me talk to my royal brother and let Wanyin out."
She was puzzled: "Princess Yong?"
Prince Yong said bitterly, "Sister, I heard from the servants inside that Wanyin can't eat or sleep well. She is pregnant. What should we do if something happens to her?"
After Princess Huachang heard his story, she said calmly, "You deserve it."
Emperor Wu Su always knew how to deal with Prince Yong. What could be more frustrating for Prince Yong than locking up his wife in the palace?
Who told them to provoke people they shouldn't provoke?
On the return carriage.
Princess Huachang thought of the emperor's childhood.
