Chapter 144 Family Love (1)
Lu Mingfu said: "What you said is that there are only twenty days left before my little brother's full moon, do you think the old lady will not agree with us staying at home for such a long time?"

Lu Mingxuan didn't speak, but she was thinking in her heart, maybe Mrs. Lu really disagreed?She is an old man who always respects the rules, if she pays it back on weekdays, but now it is Qi's confinement period, it is reasonable to avoid girls who have not left the cabinet as much as possible, so the possibility of her disagreement is not small.

Lu Mingfu immediately thought of this possibility, because she said: "How about we go to see the old lady right now, and after asking the old lady what she wants, come back to pack things, and save time and wasted effort?"

"Let's go at night." Lu Mingxuan recalled what happened last night, and guessed that Mrs. Lu must have something to say to the old man alone, so it's better for them to disturb the two old people, "Old lady I didn’t sleep well last night, I must have a good sleep after eating, and it’s the same when we go again at night, there are not many things anyway, and it doesn’t take much time to pack them up.”

Lu Mingfu remembered the exhaustion on Madam Lu's face that she couldn't hide when she was in Rongtaiju, and she herself was tired enough, so she nodded and said, "Then let's go in the evening, so we can take advantage of this time." Take a nap in between, although I didn’t choose a seat last night, I slept fairly well, the bumpy morning has already made me sore all over.”

After eating while talking, the two sisters took the tea offered by the maid and rinsed their mouths. After walking around the room a few times to digest the food, they went back to their rooms to take a rest.

Although Lu Mingxuan was so sleepy that her upper and lower eyelids were fighting, she still couldn't fall asleep after lying on the bed, her mind was still full of thoughts and she didn't know what happened to Ling Mengqi?And Concubine Luo Gui, after receiving Ling Mengqi's sarcastic remarks last night, I don't know if she will be heartbroken after going down, and then her fetus will become angry?Furthermore, since His Majesty loves Concubine Luo Gui so much, now seeing that Concubine Luo is angry with Ling Mengqi, I don't know if he will vent his anger on Ling Mengqi to vent his anger on Concubine Ai?Anyway, Ling Mengqi is not his son, no matter how much he loves the house, he can't reach that point.

This is really a mess, who would have thought that the noble concubine of the Holy Majesty was already someone else's wife and the mother of someone else's child before entering the palace?If this spreads, whether the holy name of the current sage will be damaged or not is secondary, the key is how Ling Mengqi will deal with himself in the future?
Lu Mingxuan was thinking wildly here, but at that time, the old lady of Rongtaiju Inland and the old Duke of the country, as she said, were retreating from the room full of waiters, and lowered their voices to talk about what happened last night.

"...Are you really sure that Brother Qi is the son of Concubine Luo, and Concubine Luo is Brother Xiujin's daughter-in-law Lu who died early due to illness?" I believed Mrs. Lu's words.

Mrs. Lu nodded and said: "You have never seen Concubine Luo Gui, but I have seen it countless times. When Brother Qi first came to our house, I already thought he looked familiar, but I couldn't remember it for a while. Who does he look like, and this matter is too absurd, I haven't thought about it at all. After hearing you say that the one wants to see Brother Qi, I have already guessed this possibility in my heart, but I still thought it was too absurd, so I didn’t tell you, but after I met Brother Qi yesterday, how did I feel that he was printed like that one, and if he put on women’s clothes, he would be just like that. What kind of relationship can a person have if it’s not a mother-child relationship?”

After a pause, he continued: "I don't understand. Concubine Luo Gui was born beautiful, more beautiful than all the concubines in the harem, but after all, she is the wife of a subject, how could the emperor do such a thing to steal the wife of a subject?" What happened? And Concubine Luo Gui, who already has a husband and son, is really shameless to do such a thing as abandoning her husband and son. I only have pity on Brother Qi. Not to mention that he has no mother’s protection since he was a child. If there is such a mother who has suffered and humiliated... Otherwise, since she abandoned Brother Qi back then, she would abandon it to the end. What is she doing now? Do she still expect to continue her mother-child relationship with Brother Qi? Not to mention whether Brother Qi is willing to recognize her or not, it depends on whether the emperor is willing or not. If the emperor is willing for their mother and son to have a secret relationship, that’s fine. If not, brother Qi will suffer in the end? It hurt our family for nothing, and the ancients said that "a beautiful woman is a disaster", isn't she just a pool of disaster, whoever gets it is unlucky?"

Hearing the words, the old Duke couldn't help frowning: "Okay, just say a few words, the emperor is also you and I who can disapprove at will, and you are not afraid of disaster coming out of your mouth? And that one is also the same, if she doesn't Well, now she is the emperor's favored concubine, the mother of the fourth prince and the seventh princess. When we meet again in the future, don't bring out your inner thoughts. Now I only hope that she will treat Brother Qi just for a while. After this period, the heat will gradually cool down. Otherwise, after what happened this time, the emperor will have to send missions to us in the future. If we don't go through this muddy water, we will not We can only wade in, how can we get out in the future?"

Mrs. Lu sighed: "That's right, we've already waded through this muddy water now, what will happen in the future?"

The old man thought further and further. Now that the eldest prince is about to reach the crown, the emperor still has no intention of making the eldest prince the crown prince. Obviously, the emperor is planning to establish the fourth prince in the future. Now their family is entering In the muddy waters where Concubine Luo's true identity is revealed, will she be assigned to the camp of the Fourth Prince as a matter of course by the emperor in the future?Originally, it was not a bad thing to stand in the camp of the fourth prince, but now that he knew the true identity of Concubine Luo, he really did not want to have such a queen dowager in Dazhou in the future, and when Concubine Luo became the queen mother, Can they still accommodate their family who know the stains and embarrassments of her past?

At the same time, the old man also thought of the year when Concubine Luo Gui entered the palace. It was around the time of Ling Xiang's death. Now it seems that the old friend's "death of illness" is also very strange. He didn't say that he wanted to avenge his old friend. , at least can not help the evildoers?
In the evening, when Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu went to ask Mrs. Lu if they could stay at their house until the little brother was full moon and come back, they were rejected by Mrs. Lu, but it was not just because she felt that such a thing The two should avoid it as much as possible, because Lu Zhongxian sent someone in the afternoon, "The doctor said that although your wife had a smooth birth, she suffered a lot. If the birth is not good, she will take care of her for a period of time. I am afraid that the root cause of the disease will be left in the future. Father means that there will be no banquets at the end of the full moon, and we will do it again when my little brother is [-] days old. By then, your wife will have recovered and my little brother will be older, so I don’t fear that there will be too many people to scare him. , so it’s okay to let you stay at home for three to five days, and it’s not too late to pick you up for ten days and half a month before your little brother’s hundred-day banquet.”
