Chapter 66: I met him at the corner, who is his first wife?
Just one glance and it was like seeing the bright morning light rising in the dark night.
His eyes were brighter than all the lights around him, so bright that they burned people's eyes.
What she didn't know was that the light suddenly appeared when it saw her.
Princess Qingyun said angrily, "Brother, this scoundrel bumped into me and tried to run away without apologizing. Fortunately, you stopped him."
I should check the almanac before going out, Ji Qingwu thought, covering his forehead.
She met the emperor who was out incognito to visit the Lantern Festival. She had really annoyed him yesterday in the Qinzheng Palace. She only hoped that he, like Princess Qingyun, did not recognize her.
Emperor Wu Su wore a dark blue brocade robe with rattan patterns and a clear and inconspicuous southern branch jade crown on his head.
But the dignity in his every move and the arrogant attitude that overwhelms the world cannot be concealed even if he is wearing coarse clothes.
Tonight, Li Yuzong was not following Emperor Wu Su, but a strange face exuding a gloomy aura was following behind him.
Ji Qingwu and the princess bumped into each other, so logically both were responsible, but they were in numbers and a wise man should not suffer a loss in front of him.
She apologized first, suppressing her throat.
"I'm sorry for being so abrupt."
She took a few more steps and leaned against the wall, wanting to ask these people to pass by before she left.
Seeing that they had no intention of leaving, Ji Qingwu said, "Miss, you go first."
Princess Qingyun snorted and was about to say something when she saw someone coming from a distance with a colorful lantern in his hand.
She walked forward to greet him, saying, "Brother Chengxun, while you were away, a lecher bumped into me. Who knows if he was trying to take advantage of me on purpose."
Ji Qingwu really wanted to laugh out loud at an inappropriate time, thinking that he had become a pervert who took advantage of others. The princess not only had paranoia, but was also very narcissistic.
After Li Chengxun comforted her with a few words, he looked at the person the princess was talking about.
He frowned. Although the person in front of him was dressed as a man, his slender neck had no prominent Adam's apple and his skin was smooth and delicate.
After looking at her a few more times, his eyes froze. It was her!
But now he was still in front of the emperor, so Li Chengxun could only restrain himself, look away, and hand the lantern in his hand to Qingyun.
He said in a gentle voice: "Princess, you don't want to see the lanterns. I came here from West Street. There are many beautiful lanterns over there."
Princess Qingyun looked at Emperor Wu Su with anticipation.
The emperor nodded: "Go, but don't go too far."
From the moment Li Chengxun appeared to the moment he and the princess disappeared together, Ji Qingwu did not even look at him and completely treated him as a stranger.
But being too deliberate can also be a big problem in the eyes of some people.
Ji Qingwu leaned against the gray wall, her azure blue robe eye-catching. Although the length was appropriate, it looked wide because of her tall stature and slender waist, and it was swaying in the wind.
He has fair skin, clear eyes, and the glow of the bright moon, looking like a handsome young man.
Emperor Wu Su just took a step closer.
"My dear!" A charming voice called from not far away.
Ji Qingwu turned his head and saw that it was the woman who had just committed suicide by jumping into the water who had caught up with him.
The woman held up her skirt and ran over complainingly, "My dear, why did you leave me?"
Ji Qingwu knew he couldn't avoid it, so he said helplessly, "Miss, are we familiar with each other? We just met by chance."
The woman wiped her tearless eyes, afraid that "he" would run away again, and said directly: "My dear, you are so heartless. I am still pregnant with your child."
Ji Qingwu:......?
She had high eyebrows. She could treat infertility, but she couldn't make the other person pregnant by just holding hands.
This woman dares to speak out and is not afraid of ruining her reputation.
More and more people gathered around to watch the fun. Someone asked, "Isn't this Mo Lingling, the maid from Liangxiang Pavilion?"
"What about the Two Fragrance Pavilion and the Three Fragrance Pavilion? They are just brothels."
"You country bumpkin, the maids in Liangxiang Pavilion are not ordinary prostitutes. If you want to see her, you can't just pay money. You need the maid's nod before you can enter the boudoir."
......
Unexpectedly, this woman was a famous figure in Lin'an City. Seeing that everyone was chatting enthusiastically, they were about to gather around them.
Ji Qingwu looked at Mo Lingling and said, "Let's find a quiet place and talk for a moment."
This woman came at the right time. Since Emperor Wu Su and the others were not leaving, she could follow this woman and leave first.
She took Mo Lingling's hand and was about to walk out.
"Wait a minute." The man following the emperor ordered grimly.
Ji Qingwu felt the woman's hand suddenly become stiff and cold, and the two seemed to know each other.
She took the opportunity to touch the other person's wrist, pressed it for a few seconds, and raised her eyebrows in surprise. She was pregnant, indeed, and she did not lie about that.
Mo Lingling seemed to be afraid of something and hid behind Ji Qingwu.
The man said with an even more sinister look: "There happens to be a private room in the teahouse here."
Ji Qingwu met his gaze, blocked Mo Lingling behind him, and said, "No, no, Taiya's environment is not suitable for a rough person like me, let's go..."
"You hit my little sister and you're going to run away?"
Ji Qingwu said without even thinking: "Why, how about letting you bump back?"
After saying this, I realized who said this.
She turned her head and met Emperor Wu Su's eyes. The corner of his mouth was curved into a smile.
Ji Qingwu immediately lowered his head, pursed his lips, and touched his ears in an attempt to cover up his mistake.
In the private room of the teahouse, there is a round wooden table.
Emperor Wu Su sat down first, sitting in a position directly opposite the door. Mo Lingling still clung to Ji Qingwu, as if she felt more at ease being with her.
"Everyone, please sit down."
My waist would ache if I talked while standing, so Ji Qingwu pulled the person next to him to sit down.
Emperor Wu Su glanced at the man behind him: "Ming Feng."
Seeing how intimate Mo Lingling was with the handsome young man, Duan Mingfeng, the deputy envoy of the Imperial City Division, narrowed his eyes, bent down and sat down.
The waiter quickly brought up the tea and the restaurant's signature dim sum. He wanted to introduce a few more things, but saw that each of the people's faces was gloomier than the last.
"Dear guests, please enjoy your meal." He left after saying this and hurried away.
Emperor Wu Su picked up the teacup and smelled it, then put it down in disgust and asked nonchalantly, "What's going on between you two?"
Ji Qingwu cleared his throat and lowered his voice, "I just ran into this girl by the river. It was just a coincidence, a one-time encounter."
Mo Lingling had a different story.
"I fell in love with you at first sight. You saved my life."
"Do you think I am a prostitute? I can redeem myself and leave Liangxiang Pavilion, stay at home to take care of my husband and children, and cook for you."
Ji Qingwu waved his hands repeatedly: "Miss, I just did it casually. Besides, I already have a family, I don't want to wrong you."
"Is that the woman in yellow? I don't think she and my dear are a good match."
This should be referring to Lanzhi, who is indeed not as beautiful as Mo Lingling.
Seeing that this girl was too difficult to deal with, Ji Qingwu made up a story.
"The one you saw is just my beautiful concubine. To be honest, I have a wife at home."
How come he still has three wives and four concubines? Mo Lingling frowned and asked, "How does your husband's first wife compare to me?"
She lived a life of being the center of attention in Liangxiang Pavilion, and it was rare for her to be rejected again and again.
She waited for that person today, but he didn't show up, which made her sad and frustrated. The same was true for her husband. Mo Lingling stubbornly wanted an answer.
Ji Qingwu imagined what her ideal "first wife" looked like.
"He is of noble birth, of noble appearance, capable of both civil and military affairs, and good at managing his family."
After hearing her description, Emperor Wu Su raised his eyebrows and drank a cup of tea.
