Chapter 396: Bridges are bridges, roads are roads
Lu Juan said: "There are still things to do in the palace. Please trouble my father-in-law and mother-in-law to bring Qingrong back."
Mrs. Qiao was stunned. She didn't know what her son-in-law meant. Did he really dislike his eldest daughter because of this?
“Not enough!”
A sound as clear as pearls and jade rang out.
"Why should I listen to you?"
Ji Qingwu had an extra scroll in his hand.
She walked up to Lu Juan, twisted her three slender white fingers, and spun the scroll between her fingers.
Lu Juan's expression changed several times, and he gradually saw clearly what she was holding in her hand.
From the bright red background of the silk and the carved dragons and phoenixes, he knew what it was.
It was the first time that Lu Juan was in a daze for so long.
Ji Qingwu curled his lips and said, "Master Lu, can I have the final say on this matter?"
Lu Juan stood up and bowed.
"......able."
Cui glared and said, "Ziyou, what are you talking about?!"
Lu Juan's eyes moved from the scroll to Ji Qingwu's face and said, "Can I have a word with you about how to deal with this matter?"
Ji Qingwu also felt that Cui and Feng Shuang were noisy. Whenever she said something to Lu Juan, they would always follow suit.
She nodded and said, "Of course, as long as the disposal plan satisfies me."
Cui and the others didn't know what Ji Qingwu was holding in his hand.
Feng Shuang sneered and said, "Don't be someone who thinks chicken feathers are a token of authority."
Qiao and Ji Bolian knew what the scroll was. It had scared the whole family in Ji's house.
Qiao retorted: "Your head is full of chicken feathers, something you dare not even dream of."
Her son Xiaowu is destined to be a phoenix.
Ji Qingwu and Lu Juan moved and went outside.
The moon has climbed to the highest point in the sky.
Ji Qingwu looked at the yellow moon above her head and suddenly thought of another bright yellow. She stroked the imperial edict in her hand.
I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, and couldn't help wondering what that person was doing at the moment, whether he was riding a horse at full speed or taking a nap in the carriage.
Seeing that she was silent, Lu Juan whispered, "Your Highness greets you..."
Ji Qingwu came back to his senses and quickly stopped him, saying, "It hasn't been announced to the world yet, Lord Lu, there's no need to be so polite, let's get straight to the point."
Lu Juan stared at the scroll in her hand with a complicated expression.
The issue of establishing a queen was a matter of great controversy among the courtiers in the previous dynasty, and the issue was brought up almost every few days.
But Emperor Wu Su clearly already had a candidate in mind, but he did not reveal a single detail.
His eyes moved slightly. No wonder the emperor brought his fifth sister's little girl to summon the ministers to the Qinzheng Hall those days.
This is someone's plan to be a stepfather.
Lu Juan said: "In this case, I will still address you as my fifth sister."
Ji Qingwu said, "You can call me whatever you want. My elder sister almost died during childbirth, but Lord Lu is indecisive and has difficulty settling family affairs."
In the darkness of the night, Lu Juan could not hide his tiredness and said, "The Emperor trusts my fifth sister and is willing to grant her the throne. I will not hide it from you. Now all the important matters in the palace have fallen on my head. I am too busy to handle them all. But since I have accepted this important task..."
Ji Qingwu heard the seriousness in his words and guessed what he was going to say.
Lu Juan sighed: "We should put national affairs first."
"I can only feel at ease if you bring Qingrong home. I can't stay by Qingrong's side all the time."
Lu Juan originally wanted the Ji family to suggest taking Ji Qingrong home so that he could be free to do his work.
"Once I have finished the things in my hands, I will cut ties with the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion. From now on, the Marquis Mansion will belong to the Marquis Mansion, and Qingrong and I will have our own home. I will never let her suffer this kind of pain again."
Ji Qingwu stared at him, as if trying to determine whether what he said was credible.
Lu Juan drew a clear line between himself and the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery’s Mansion, and from now on the bridge was his own and the road was his own.
That's a good idea.
Lu Juan said: "After the separation, I will ask to remove the ancestral temple, and let the mansion fend for itself. I will no longer care about it. Qingrong will not meet my mother again. Today's farewell is the last time we will see each other."
It was a great shame for the Cui family that their own son gave up the position of crown prince and disappeared from the family tree.
"As for Feng Shuang, this matter is easier to handle. There is no need to make it public. My second brother Lu Wei has a favorite mistress. Find an excuse to bring her back. He is very successful, so it won't be difficult for him to demote his wife to a concubine."
Whether it’s difficult or not...it all depends on Lu Juan’s planning.
Ji Qingwu's expression finally returned to normal.
"Words are not enough. If you can't handle household affairs well, my elder sister will stay at home for one day."
She threatened with shining eyes: "If you can't handle it well, I will do it."
Lu Juan said: "Okay, during this period of time, please take good care of Qingrong, Fifth Sister."
Ji Qingwu's eyes flickered as he asked, "Lord Lu wants me to help you take care of your wife and children for free."
Lu Juan was a smart man, and said, "If you need me in the future, feel free to look for me. I will definitely repay Fifth Sister for her kindness today."
Ji Qingwu nodded: "But I can't take care of it for too long, at most..."
She thought about what would happen next and said, "At most, until my elder sister is out of confinement. But as long as she lives in the Ji family, nothing will happen to my elder sister."
Lu Juan said: "Okay, after a while, I will be able to find time to visit Qing Rong."
Ji Qingwu said: "Let's settle it this way for now."
"Fifth sister."
Ji Qingwu didn't look back: "You're welcome, this is also my elder sister."
Lu Juan paused for a moment and said hesitantly, "Fifth sister, I have something else to ask you."
Ji Qingwu turned his head: "What's the matter?"
Lu Juan: "...Is it a son or a daughter?"
Ji Qingwu:.......
It turns out that Lord Lu doesn’t even know whether his child is a boy or a girl.
She said in a cryptic way, "You and Big Sister stayed in the room for half an hour, but you didn't ask whether it was a boy or a girl?"
Lu Juan said: "I forgot."
I really forgot.
His mind was rarely clear, and he was only concerned with checking if Arong was okay, and comforting her with sweet words.
Not noticing the baby nearby, he had forgotten that his child had been born.
Ji Qingwu raised his eyebrows and said, "I won't tell you. If you want to know, come to the clinic yourself."
Lu Juan's heart felt like it was being scratched by claws.
This fifth sister is really...
But when he thought about how Emperor Wu Su had given the throne to Ji Qingwu, he shook his head helplessly.
Even the emperor is in her hands, what good solution can he have?
After realizing this, Lu Juan also breathed a sigh of relief.
The moonlight was very bright at night, as bright as Ji Qingwu's eyes, making people feel full of hope for the future.
As long as we can hold on for this period of time and wait for the emperor to return, everything will be fine.
*
Ji Qingwu returned to the main hall, and the eyes of several people were once again focused on her.
The scroll in her hand attracted Cui and Feng Shuang.
Cui's eyes were fixed on the scroll since Ji Qingwu entered the room, and she also noticed something wrong.
As if Ji Qingwu was afraid that she wouldn't be able to see it, he kindly walked closer to let Cui see it clearly.
