Chapter 238: Day and night thinking about clothes, the great scholar
When Wei Liru looked up again, her eyes were filled with resentment.
She shook her head and said, "No, brother, you haven't seen the emperor's eyes fall on her."
Wei Liru paid attention to Emperor Wu Su's every move, and she had already noticed the difference.
"I just don't accept it. I have been with the emperor for so many years. I have risen from a noble lady to the most powerful concubine in the harem."
"If Ji Qingwu hadn't shown up, I would have been just a little bit away from the queen position."
It seems like just a small difference, but in fact it is an unbridgeable chasm.
Wei Ting said soberly: "Li Ru, without the Wei family behind you, do you think you can still stand so high?"
These words woke Wei Liru up and reminded her of her original intention of entering the palace.
When her elder brother joined the army, she entered the palace as a concubine, and the two of them worked together to bring the declining Wei family back into the upper ranks of the aristocratic families.
It's just that people's hearts change, and what she wants has also changed.
Wei Liru said: "I know that my brother asked for Ji Wu's hand in marriage in the court before. He did this to help me, right?"
"Brother, can you think of a way to prevent Ji Qingwu from entering the palace?"
This proud sister rarely begs others in such a humble manner.
Wei Ting's eyes fell on the two sparrows on the treetops, which were happily preening each other's feathers.
When Wei's father and mother committed suicide by burning themselves for love, Wei Liru was still young. Although she had the support of her grandmother and aunts, she had always liked to stick to her eldest brother since she was a child.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Wei Liru was raised by Wei Ting himself.
With such a brother protecting her, Wei Ting would obey her in everything and would not refuse anything she wanted.
However, Wei Liru was too arrogant because she could easily get what she wanted.
Wei Ting said, "She is not your opponent. It is not her fault that the emperor's heart is not with you."
Wei Liru frowned and said, "But if she wasn't there, the emperor's heart would be impartial."
Soon, she realized something was wrong.
"Why did my brother speak for Ji Wu?"
She asked loudly: "Your heart has also been deviated, hasn't it?"
Two sparrows on the treetop were startled and flew away by the sudden sharp sound.
Wei Ting looked at the two birds flapping their wings and flying away. In the end, they separated, one to the east and the other to the west.
There was still a smile on his face and his voice was still gentle.
"Li Ru, you misunderstood something. The reason I wanted to marry her was because I thought I wasn't such a jerk as to trade the rest of a girl's life."
Wei Liru's beautiful eyes were filled with horror.
"Brother, what are you talking about..."
He shouldn't have done this just to secure her position in the palace.
Wei Ting used the most gentle tone, speaking words that made Wei Liru tremble all over.
"I don't need to tell anyone about what happened between her and me, but I want to tell you that I don't plan to marry her just for show."
Wei Ting seemed to be extremely distressed and said: "Unfortunately, she doesn't want to. I can only think of other ways."
Wei Liru stared at him as if frozen in place, biting her lips until they turned pale.
Wei Ting turned around and said, "If possible, I also hope that when you see her again, you can call her sister-in-law."

Ji Qingwu was woken up by the little girl in the morning.
When Jiujiu opened her eyes, she saw such a big mother sleeping next to her. She felt so happy.
The chubby little body rolled over and rubbed into A Niang's arms.
Ji Qingwu was still asleep, and subconsciously raised her hand to hold down the little guy who was running around on her.
"Be good, sleep a little longer, just for a while."
She closed her eyes, not wanting to open them. She had only slept for two hours since she came back.
Ji Qingwu really wanted to continue meeting with Zhou Gong, but the child woke up and began to speak in a crisp voice.
Chirping in her ears, like a non-stop little chatterbox.
She rubbed the little troublemaker's butt and finally lifted her eyelashes.
Jiujiu smiled adorably and asked happily, "When did my mother come?"
Ji Qingwu's voice still sounded sleepy.
"last night."
Jiujiu's little face was close to her shoulder, and she asked, "Did mother come here after I fell asleep?"
Ji Qingwu touched the back of her head and responded, "Yes."
Jiujiu said, "Aniang must have missed Jiujiu so much that she couldn't sleep, so she came here in the middle of the night, right?"
Ji Qingwu nodded guiltily.
Last night the emperor pulled her up to the roof, and in order to coax him out of getting upset, he thought of this little girl who could help him out.
I can't sleep and I want to chirp. These two things are true.
Jiujiu immediately gave her a few passionate kisses.
When Nanny Li heard the noise and came in, she was surprised to see Ji Qingwu sitting on the bed.
"When did the fifth young lady come in?"
Yesterday, Nanny Li came back with Mrs. Qiao first. A maid came to tell her that Princess Qingyun wanted to keep the fifth young lady to chat.
Ji Qingwu was about to speak when Jiujiu stood on the bed with her hands on her hips and said in a very literary way, "Mother is tossing and turning day and night thinking about clothes."
Madam Li asked, "What did the young lady mean?"
Jiujiu boasted, "Mammy, it means that my mother missed me so much at night that she couldn't sleep, so she couldn't help but come to find me."
Nanny Li suddenly understood and said, "So that's what it means."
Ji Qingwu put a lilac short jacket on Jiujiu and looked at her with a smile.
Nanny Li continued with admiration, "Young Miss is so talented and knowledgeable. I think she is no less talented than those great scholars."
The little girl raised her chin as her mother fastened the buttons on her collar.
After putting on the clothes, Ji Qingwu patted Jiujiu's little arm.
She smiled and said, "Okay, Master Chu, go wash up and have breakfast. Master Maine will be here for class soon."
When she heard that it was her favorite Master Mei, Jiujiu happily went downstairs with her short legs.
Recently, Qiao and Ji Qingwu have been discussing and planning to see what the little girl likes so that she can learn one of the six arts and become proficient in it.
The Qiao family specially invited various teachers. In addition to going to the study room to study, Jiujiu also had to take classes at home every day.
Unexpectedly, the little girl didn't have any rejection at all. She rode a pony today and painted flowers and birds tomorrow. She was interested in everything.
With Nanny Li around, Ji Qingwu accompanied Jiujiu for breakfast and then returned to Wutong Garden.
She wanted to catch up on some sleep, but after lying down, she looked at the ceiling of the green gauze tent and could no longer fall asleep.
Emperor Wu Su was drunk last night and was a little difficult to deal with, but she also found out that if she had to go to the palace sooner or later, she had to make plans early and couldn't continue to drag it on.
Just live one day at a time; it’s not a long-term solution.
Ji Qingwu somersaulted and sat up again.
"Lanzhi, come with me to the clinic."
But before anyone left Wutong Garden, a young eunuch came in hurriedly.
"Miss Ji Wu!"
