Chapter 72 Kneel down to her? Something big is going to happen

"Your humble servant pays respect to His Majesty."

"I will pay my respects to His Majesty."

Emperor Wu Su walked briskly and said directly, "No need to be polite. Please take a seat."

In the past, when discussing state affairs, one had to stand in the hall according to the rules, but the emperor granted seats as soon as he entered, and it seemed that he was not going to discuss the case of Censor Yan.

What is this private matter?

The palace servants came in with their heads down to serve tea. Emperor Wu Su sat down behind the desk and asked, "How is your family?"

Lu Juan looked slightly surprised and replied respectfully, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Everything is normal at home and my mother is in good health."

Cui was the emperor's aunt, and he mentioned her specifically.

Yuchi Lianping simply said, "The princess is fine." Because she was the only family member in his house.

Emperor Wu Su took a sip of tea and didn't speak for a long time. The two men didn't dare to speak either.

But the emperor looked normal, and didn't seem to be about to get angry, so they didn't know what the emperor meant.

The hall fell into silence.

The emperor and his ministers looked at each other in silence, with only the sound of teacups rising and falling being heard, until the palace servants came to add tea twice more.

Emperor Wu Su then asked, "How is your relationship with your wife?"

Lu Juan didn't even think about it and answered directly: "They are in love and inseparable."

Yuchi Lianping stroked his chin and recalled: "It still feels like a newlywed."

But why did the emperor ask this question out of the blue? Lu Juan thought more deeply and wondered whether he wanted to transfer him to another place? Ji Qingrong is still pregnant. If she were to take up a post outside at this time...

Yuchi Lianping frowned. He had gone to the northern border and didn't know when he would be back. It was not possible that if he returned to Lin'an, the princess's mansion would have many more lovers. The more he thought about it, the uglier his face became.

The three people in the hall had different thoughts.

Emperor Wu Su then asked: "What if she resists getting close to you?"

This question? ! Would the emperor also have such troubles?

It’s good that he is not transferred to another place. Lu Juan is determined to be a good adviser to the emperor.

He thought the person the emperor was talking about was Concubine Wei. Recently, there were rumors in the palace that Concubine Wei and the emperor were arguing, and several noble families had been secretly trying to insert people into the harem to share the emperor's favor.

So this is the crux of the problem.

Lu Juan thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, women are made of water and need to be coaxed."

Yuchi Lianping slapped his thigh and said disapprovingly: "Some women are made of ice. If you can't coax them, you have to use tough measures to make them understand who is the boss in this family."

Lu Juan glanced at him and didn't believe his nonsense at all.

"If you dare to say this to Princess Huachang, I will respect you as a man of integrity."

Yuchi Lianping drank another cup of tea and ignored Lu Juan's attempt to expose his secrets.

When a man goes out, he has to give himself face.

He said to the person in the main seat: "Your Majesty, if any lady in the palace gets angry with you, you can just reward her."

Give money, give power, what a simple thing.

Lu Juan immediately shook his head and said, "If I reward her after she loses her temper, I don't know how spoiled she will become in the future. It will only cause unrest in the harem, and the harem will also affect the former dynasty."

Yuchi Lianping felt that Lu Juan was too stingy and was too cunning. He should just pamper the woman he liked.

Lu Juan thought that the prince consort's idea was crude, and the two of them began to debate in the Qinzheng Hall.

The noise made Emperor Wu Su's head feel tight.

He said coldly: "Get out."

Ji family, Shou'an Hall.

Old Madam Ji was wearing a plain-colored robe with auspicious patterns of longevity and fortune, and she had just woken up from a nap.

The younger generation sitting in the hall came to pay their respects.

The old lady opened her drooping eyelids and said in a bad tone: "Qingwu, I heard from the guard that you didn't return home until midnight last night? Which young lady is as wild as you."

Ji Qingyuan continued: "Grandmother wants to see you, but can't find anyone."

Yesterday, the whole family had lunch with the old lady. In the evening, Old Madam Ji was anxiously waiting for rewards from the palace, and said she would not have dinner with the younger generations.

Only then did Ji Qingwu start to think about going out for a walk.

But it’s always right to admit your mistakes first, and you can’t be forceful with your elders.

Ji Qingwu said softly, "Grandma, it's Qingwu who is wrong. I just don't have many memories of my childhood. I've never seen such a prosperous lantern market in Lin'an. I was stunned for a while, so I stayed out for a long time. It's my granddaughter's fault for making you worry."

Mrs. Qiao sighed, "Mother, poor Xiaowu has been lost since he was young. He has suffered a lot outside and has never seen many things."

She even shed tears while saying this: "It's all because I, as a mother, wasn't diligent enough. I will definitely teach her well when I go back."

Given the mother and daughter's attitude, the old lady couldn't make any more fuss about their late return.

"Qingwu, grandma wants to ask you, have you seen the emperor in recent days?"

Ji Qingyuan also turned around and glared at her. Since the old lady asked this, she must know something.

Ji Qingwu shook his head calmly: "No, I haven't seen it."

Madam Ji said, "Then did you do anything out of line that was seen by the Emperor and displeased Him, but you didn't know it."

Ji Qingwu continued to deny: "No, I never did."

Hearing her speak so straightforwardly, the old lady frowned, wondering when the Holy Emperor had lost his heart. She wanted to go to the Cining Palace as soon as possible to discuss it with the Empress Dowager.

After a while, Madam Ji asked again, "Where did Changyan go? I haven't seen him for a few days."

Second Housewife Wu said, "Mother, Changyan said a few days ago that Prince Yong assigned him an official duty to repair water conservancy projects. He must be busy with this matter, so he is not at home."

Ji Qingyuan snorted, "Third brother better be busy with serious matters."

What good things can he and Prince Yong do?

Ji Qingwu never meddled in the affairs of the second house. She just sat quietly aside, smiling and saying nothing. While they chatted, she obediently peeled lychees and ate them.

Waited until the afternoon.

Ji Qingwu was preparing the medicinal powder for use in the sachets in the yard.

Suddenly, a voice was called from the gate of the courtyard: "Fifth sister."

Ji Qingwu looked up and saw that it was Ji Changyan who had disappeared for several days. He had never been to her yard.

Although she had a mediocre impression of this playboy, she put down the work in her hands out of consideration for the brotherly love.

He greeted him indifferently: "Third brother, why are you standing outside the door? Come in and talk."

Ji Changyan looked embarrassed and glanced at Lanzhi beside her and the maids who were cleaning the courtyard.

He said, "Fifth sister, I have some private matters to discuss with you alone. Can we move to the pavilion in the garden?"

Why would he tell her his private affairs?

But we are at home anyway, so it doesn’t matter where we are.

Ji Qingwu wiped his hands with a handkerchief and followed him into the pavilion.

Ji Changyan turned around and looked at her excitedly, his tone full of pleading: "Fifth sister, you have to save me!"

His expression was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, as if he was about to kneel down to her in the next second.

This sudden action startled Ji Qingwu.

She asked quickly: "Third brother, what happened?"

"Fifth sister, dear sister, I made a mistake and offended His Royal Highness Prince Yong. I would like to ask you to intercede for me."
