Chapter 129 The Imperial Guard (3)
The servants of Duke Dingguo's mansion also treated Ling Mengqi with superficial respect and secretly disdain, and there were also those who were obedient and disobedient and even eccentric. Now they don't dare to do it again. Jin Yiwei is also something they can afford?
On March [-]th, the day Ling Mengqi went to Jinyiwei to report to take office, he was accompanied by Lu Wenting and Lu Wenzhu into the inner courtyard early in the morning to bid farewell to Mrs. Lu and others.

Rao everyone was somewhat critical and even dissatisfied that he had chosen to go to Jinyiwei. Of course, there were some puzzled, but no matter what they thought in their hearts, when they saw Ling Mengqi in a big red flying fish python robe, a luan belt around his waist, and an embroidered spring knife, he walked away. When they came in, the crowd still couldn't help but take a breath, no matter how many complaints and dissatisfaction disappeared, they couldn't help sighing in their hearts, it was the first time they saw someone can wear the ordinary flying fish suit like this As good-looking as he is, the so-called "clothes make a man" is completely reversed here, it's not the clothes that make him look better, but he makes the clothes look better!
As soon as Ling Mengqi came in, he knelt down on one knee to salute Mrs. Lu: "Thanks to Mrs. Lu's careful teaching and care for more than a year, Meng Qi is very grateful, and Meng Qi is going to work today. In the future, you will only come back to kowtow to the old lady on the rest day, and please take care of yourself, old man."

Mrs. Lu's expression softened a lot when Ling Mengqi came in, and after listening to his words now, she became softer, and asked with a smile: "Is everything ready to go? After there, if you have any difficulties, just send someone back and say that you don’t have to wait until the holiday, you can come back whenever you want. As I said earlier, this place will always be your other home. Why not go back to your own home? Want to pick a date?"

Ling Mengqi agreed with a smile, and bid farewell to Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu and the girls one by one. Everyone was dazzled by his demeanor, let alone even if he was not dizzy, who would dare to tell him now? His face was unconvincing, and his attitude was very kind.

When it was Lu Mingxuan's turn, Ling Mengqi only felt that he had a lot to say to her, but in the end he still didn't say anything and it was inconvenient to say, because he only took one deep look at her, he bid farewell to everyone again, and talked with Lu Wenting and Lu Wen left together one by one.

Seeing his back disappear behind the curtain, Lu Mingxuan couldn't help feeling an inexplicable sense of melancholy in her heart, but she immediately attributed it to the fact that when she encountered trouble after feeling melancholy, she even had a feeling of melancholy. There is no one to talk to or discuss with, so I can only fight alone, shouldn't I be sad?But thinking that Ling Mengqi will come back on his rest day, she can still find a chance to talk to him and discuss things, so she feels relieved.

It's just that in the next few days, Lu Mingxuan was still a little anxious, and couldn't help but wonder, would Ling Mengqi be able to adapt to the life of Jin Yiwei?Will others crowd him out?Also, as Xiaoqi, there are dozens of subordinates under him. Will they see that he is young and well-born, so they will disobey him and try to trip him up in different ways?

Fortunately, she had only been anxious for a few days, and Ling Mengqi came back with Muxiu. I don't know if it was on purpose or not, and he specially picked a time when everyone was around to say hello to Mrs. Lu.

Lu Mingxuan glanced at him when everyone was not paying attention, and saw that his face was calm, his words and deeds were calm, although he did not show his full of vigor and vigor, but he also looked smug. It seemed that although his days in Jinyiwei were not good, As for being like a fish in water, it was expected to go smoothly, Fang secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

After that, Ling Mengqi took advantage of Muxiu's return to greet Mrs. Lu once again. Seeing that his expression became more calm, Lu Mingxuan felt more relieved, thinking that he had already taken care of all the official duties.

In April, when Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu went to greet Mrs. Lu in the evening, they heard Mrs. Lu say: "In a few days, it will be the Buddha Bathing Festival. I plan to go to Longyuan outside the city that day. Burning incense in Fusi Temple, I pray that the Buddha will bless our whole family to be healthy and safe, and everything will go smoothly. After the incense is burnt, we will stay overnight and eat their vegetarian dishes. Who will come with me then? Yes, tell your aunt in advance so that she can arrange carriages and horses."

Mrs. Lu said with a smile at the side: "It's rare that your grandmother is happy. According to me, you all go, the right should be casual, and the scenery of Longfu Temple is fine, but the vegetarian food is a must. Usually, our family can't eat it." I went to Daci’en Temple to offer incense, but it’s rare to go to Longfu Temple. I don’t have time to spare, or I’ll go together.” After saying this, everyone was aroused and said: “We all have to Go, beg grandma to take us with you!"

Mrs. Lu laughed and said: "Go and go, but I'll say something ugly first, and you can't be naughty when you go there, or you will disturb the purity of Buddhism, and see if I don't hit your hands!" After thinking about it , And sent people to the Princess Mansion to ask Princess Fuhui and Lu Mingzhu if they would go by then.

The girl who sent the message came back after a while, bowed her knees and said: "Eldest princess and the county master can't talk, please just go on your own, and come back tomorrow to ask the old lady to pay her respects."

Mrs. Lu thought that Lu Mingzhu was dying in the princess mansion these days, and she couldn't help feeling uncomfortable for a while, thinking to herself, how decent it would be for the dignified princess of the Duke's mansion to chase a man like that, Princess Pianchang didn't know how to control her yet, so it was spread out. Will the fourth girl still marry or not in the future?It's a pity that it's not convenient for me to manage the affairs of the Princess Mansion, so I just said: "It's fine if the mother and daughter don't go, let's go by ourselves, and then I will ask Brother Ting and Brother Yuan to escort us there, um, I don't know when Brother Qi, is that child Muxiu Muxiu? If it is Muxiu, I will ask him to go with me."

The crowd dispersed for a while, and the old man entered the Rongtai residence. Mrs. Lu hurriedly pushed away all the attendants, and ordered Nanny Zhang to guard the door, then lowered her voice and asked the old man: " I have ordered to go to Longfu Temple to offer incense on the eighth day of the lunar new year, and I have already revealed that I will let brother Qi go, now you can always tell me why the emperor wants me to do this?"

Yesterday, the emperor specially summoned the old man who hadn't entered the palace for a long time to go to the palace. When he came back, the old man drove away all the people in the room, and ordered Mrs. Lu to tell her what to do. Just do it, and tell her the reason and what to do next after the event. That's why Mrs. Lu suddenly came up with the idea of ​​taking all her granddaughters to Longfu Temple, which she doesn't often go to, to offer incense. Now that it's done, it's time for the old man to explain her doubts and tell her the next plan.

Hearing the words, the old Duke frowned, and lowered his voice: "To be honest, I really don't want to care about this matter, but the emperor has already spoken, and there is no room for me to refuse, so I can only insist on it." The scalp should come down... The reason why the emperor arranged this is because someone wants to see Meng Qi's child..." Fu Er said a name to Mrs. Lu.
