After rebirth, the down-and-out concubine married the cold prince

Chapter 16

Of course Chang Qing would not stop, the palace gate was close in front of him, Lu Ji was silent and his face was serious.The guards guarding the gate kowtowed one after another, shouting that His Royal Highness is a thousand years old, but Lu Ji ignored it.He passed through the scarlet palace gate and walked into the long corridor paved with blue bricks.The quietness along the way was like no one's land, but in fact there was an endless stream of palace people.It's just that most of the time, they are dumb and can't speak.

The majestic palace is just behind Yongxiang, arranged in the form of eight trigrams.So rigorous that the location where each tree is planted has been carefully deduced by a Taoist priest using a compass.To pray that the royal heirs will continue, and the blessings will continue.I pray that the whole Daxuan will be in good weather and the country will prosper.

The guards were divided into [-] teams, each patrolling every corner of the palace in the morning, noon and night, to ensure that no criminals broke into the palace and threatened the most noble existence in the world.

The emperor was already terminally ill, and Lu Ji knew that the omnipotent man had passed from the prime of life to his twilight years.Soon after, he will usher in the end of his life. At that time, he will inherit the great rule and become the master of this country.

Lu Ji walked into Weiyang Palace, heavy and thick sandalwood soaked every place in the palace, making him frown.

The most honorable woman in the world, Empress Liu Enxian was sitting there.The years didn't seem to treat her too harshly, and she was still beautiful and moving in her forties.It's just that there is no innocence and gentleness between the brows of the Huaichun girl who is not familiar with world affairs, but replaced by the calmness and ruthlessness of turning hands to cloud and rain.

At this time, Liu Enxian looked up at Lu Ji.Their eyebrows and eyes are so similar, they are always gloomy like water when they are calm, and they don't look alike at all.

But that appearance is always cold and seductive, like a ruthless god on a mountain of gods, which makes people sink at a glance.

Zhu'er, the court lady next to Liu Enxian, offered tea, and Lu Ji was accustomed to drinking Maojian.The aftertaste is sweet and not as bitter as other teas.

Lu Ji first saluted Liu Enxian solemnly, and then sat down opposite Liu Enxian after getting the other party's approval.There is also a gentle smile on the lips, and there is really a warmth between mother and child.

"The tea from my mother is the best."

"I didn't see you often coming to the palace to accompany mother."

Lu Ji blinked, looking a little playful. "I'm busy with business, isn't my mother calling me, and my son came here?"

"Poor mouth." Liu Enxian blamed, but smiled.Seeing that the cup in front of Lu Ji bottomed out, he filled it up with tea himself.Then he said distressedly: "How come it's been less than half a month?"

Lu Ji lowered his eyes and did not refute Liu Enxian.

"The flood in Yizhou has displaced tens of thousands of people. I am really worried about what I have heard."

"Hasn't it already been dealt with?" Liu Enxian looked sideways, "I heard that a member of the family named Wang Fengtian has already settled the matter."

"Yes." Lu Ji nodded, "It's just that the refugee resettlement after the disaster will cost a lot of money, and the imperial court allocated 300 million taels, but it still doesn't work."

"Oh." Liu Enxian drew a long tone, knowing the child is like the mother.Lu Ji wanted to personally go to Yizhou for disaster relief, and by the way, cultivate his cronies.But as a queen, she had to remind Lu Ji that the most urgent task now is to get married.His Majesty is seriously ill, and seeing that he will not survive until next winter at most, the most worrying thing is the prince's marriage.It's best to get married this year and have a big fat boy next year.

"I will arrange someone to deal with this matter. You have your own responsibility."

Yes, it is my responsibility to give birth to an heir as soon as possible.

"After picking for so long, have you picked something you are satisfied with?"

"How about my uncle's daughter?"

Liu Enxian couldn't help but beam with joy, it couldn't be better.In this way, the status of the Liu family was greatly consolidated, and the number of people supporting Lu Ji in the court would also increase.After all, apart from Lu Ji, the other second princes were also restless.Most of the rest of the princes became kings and went to their own fiefdoms.Only the second child, Lu Yan, has stayed in Yunjing because of his biological mother Ming Guifei.His Majesty's health is not good, and there are often rumors that he is going to change the crown prince.

If she were to find out who was talking nonsense behind her back, she would have to cut off the tongues of those people.

Lu Ji smiled, his tone full of sarcasm.

"Didn't uncle get very close to Lu Yan recently?"

Liu Enxian was startled: "Is there such a thing?"

"Yeah, probably Lu Yan is more suitable to be the prince than me."

Liu Enxian came up in one breath, and immediately reprimanded: "Nonsense!"

"Maybe, uncle's power is too great for anyone to pay attention to. Or, he wants the benefits of both ends."

Liu Enxian couldn't help being speechless, his younger brother was really greedy and needed to be beaten.She brushed her hair from her temples, and said: "You don't know what your uncle is like, he doesn't care about outsiders."

"Yes." Lu Ji said, "I still trust my uncle."

Liu Enxian asked again: "Which girl do you like, Yufu or Wen Lan?"

Lu Ji shook his head: "Not at all."

Who else could it be?Liu Enxian thought of another person, Liu Yirong married a prostitute in the early years.The woman's fate was poor, but she left a daughter.

It's just that at that time Liu Yirong had already disliked that actor, and even named the child casually.

Catkins have no roots and drift with the wind, so they are called fluttering.

This shows that this daughter is not taken seriously in the Liu family.

"Is it Liu Piaopiao?" Liu Enxian was a little disappointed, "I haven't seen that child yet, someday I will take her into the palace when I have time?"

Lu Ji responded and looked at Liu Enxian.

"Will mother blame me for marrying a concubine?"

Strange?Is it useful to blame? It is useless if Lu Ji is not willing to put the knife on his neck.It's just a pity that concubines are of no great use.

Just be afraid, one of the other two will marry Lu Yan.Liu Enxian thought, Liu Yirong wouldn't be so stupid, he chose the second prince without fawning over the good emperor's nephew.No matter what, Liu Yufu and Liu Wenlan should have formed a good relationship with the people of the Prince Group. Only in this way can the Liu family survive for a long time.

Even if she is a concubine, isn't her surname Liu?

Thinking of this, Liu Enxian became happy again.

"Then when will mother go to the Liu Mansion to propose marriage?"

"Wait a little longer." Lu Ji said, "Isn't Master Shang Shuling always neutral, and I'm going to test him."

Liu Enxian stopped talking, she didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Lu Ji's gourd, after all, he had his own plan.

Lu Ji got up and said goodbye: "I'm going to see my father."

Liu Enxian waved his hand as a yes, married to the emperor for 20 years, half of the time he was thinking about another woman.The remaining half was shared with other people in the harem, and there was very little left for her, and now that person was finally dying.And she finally made it through.

Looking at Lu Ji's back, Liu Enxian was as tall and straight as Lu Min.Most of the time, they even have similar expressions, but Liu Enxian knows that the woman who marries Lu Ji is much luckier than himself.At least her husband won't change his mind like Lu Min, at most he's living in countless conspiracies.
