marriage gentleman

Chapter 27

Qi Guang was tossed all night, but luckily the next day was a rest day, he didn't need to go to court, Qi Guang slept for four hours, and gradually woke up at three poles in the sun.When she opened her eyes, Lu Li was no longer by her side.

She stared blankly at the dragon and phoenix patterns on the bed curtain, but she had mixed feelings in her heart.

Over the past few days, she has noticed that something is wrong with Lu Li. This feeling seems to have never happened to anyone before. After thinking about it, she suddenly woke up.Why bother, why worry, why bother, Jing Heng is his fiancé-in-law, he can get it at his fingertips, so he can just talk about it after the cloud and rain in Wushan on the bed, maybe he won't feel this way after the intercourse.

She has always disliked having sex, and every time she had sex, the pair of bloody eyeballs from back then would pop up in her mind.In the past six months, Zhou Muqing was ill, and she was happy and relaxed, and she no longer felt anxious every fifteenth day.And maybe it was because she drank too much wine last night, or maybe it was Lu Li's oolong at the beginning, she couldn't help laughing, but at the same time she forgot the shadow of that year.

She sat up slowly, sighing.

Although it was a good thing that she didn't think about the shadows of that year last night, but now she has spent the night with Lu Li in Wushan, but she found that the anxiety entangled in her heart is still there.

She seemed to be contrary to what her mother said back then, and began to care about a man.

After a while, Jiang Dezhong walked in and said: "Your Majesty, do you need someone to pass the meal? It's almost noon." Lu Shilang was really fierce like a wolf, and let His Majesty sleep until this time.

Qi Guang rubbed the center of his eyebrows, he didn't expect to wake up so late.

She asked, "Where's Jing Heng?"

Jiang Dezhong smiled, and said: "Returning to Your Majesty, there seems to be something important in the household department. Lin Shangshu sent someone to find the way servant early in the morning."

Qi Guang asked, "When did you leave?"

"After the hour has passed."

When Qi Guang heard this, he couldn't help but feel aggrieved.What a Jing Heng, she finished tormenting her last night, and she slipped away without telling her this morning. Last night, she was planning to tease him the next day.It was the first time for Lu Li, and he had never been to the place of fireworks, and the art in the room was only known from a few erotic pictures.After listening to it last night, she was still surprised.

When the younger brother was only eight years old, she ran into him hiding in the rockery and peeking at erotic pictures, but she didn't expect that Lu Li, who was already in his twenties, would be so... simple.She also asked him what he did when he was a child.He said he was playing with children.At that time, his eyes were quite meaningful, Qi Guang noticed it, but he didn't understand the deep meaning in it.

At this moment, a servant hurried in.

"Report to Your Majesty, Mr. Zhou is here."

Qi Guang was stunned for a while before remembering that the Young Master Zhou mentioned by the waiter was Zhou Muqing. After thinking about it carefully, she suddenly realized that she hadn't seen him for a long time.She said: "Let him wait in the side pavilion first."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The servant hurried away again.

Qi Guang told Jiang Dezhong: "Leave lunch first, and the widows wash first."

Jiang Dezhong called someone to bring hot water, and then waited for Qi Guang to wash his hands.When Qi Guang was washing his face, he looked at Qi Guang, hesitant to speak.After Qi Guang found out, he said: "Speak up if you have something to say, I have been with you for so many years."

Only then did Jiang Dezhong say: "Your Majesty, today is fifteen."

"What's wrong with the fifteenth..." As soon as the words fell, Qi Guang suddenly understood.That's right, on today's fifteenth day, Zhou Muqing came over again.Suddenly, she said thoughtfully: "Jiang Dezhong, I just realized today that you treat Jing Heng differently."

Over the years, it seemed that Lu Li was the only person who could make Jiang Dezhong speak kindly in her ear.

Jiang Dezhong laughed, and said: "Mr. Lu is kind and gentle, and what this slave says is the truth."

Qi Guang wiped his hands with hot water, then got up and left the bedroom.There was an autumn wind blowing outside the hall, and the dead leaves on the ground were rolled up, which was quite desolate.She stopped and raised her eyes, and suddenly said: "The hunt is almost here."

Jiang Dezhong said: "If you return to Your Majesty, there are still ten days." Qi Guang walked into the side pavilion, and just as he stepped in, Zhou Muqing turned around in response.He looked at Qi Guang with a half-smile, and said: "Mu Qing pays homage to Your Majesty." Although he was speaking in salute, his body did not move.

As soon as Qi Guang saw his smile, he knew that he knew about himself and Lu Li.

She waved her hand and said, "You all step back."

The surrounding palace people came out in response, and after a while, only Zhou Muqing and Qi Guang were left in the side pavilion.Qi Guangjing went to the chair by himself, sat down and poured a cup of tea slowly, and after drinking half a cup slowly, she raised her eyes to look at Zhou Muqing.

"I am cured?"

She poured a cup of tea and raised her hand.

He took the teacup, sat down beside her, and said with a smile: "I have recuperated for more than half a year, and I have already recovered. If I don't recover, I am afraid that I will no longer have a place in Your Majesty's heart."

Qi Guang laughed dryly and asked, "How is your younger sister?"

Zhou Muqing said: "My sister has been learning the etiquette of a princess from the mothers in the palace recently, and she is very busy every day." After a pause, he continued: "I heard that His Majesty chose between General Murong's daughter and Amei. One, it is rare to abandon Miss Murong in the end. I know you have always liked Murong Dang."

Qi Guang said: "It's good that you know, if not for your sake, the candidate for Princess Min must be a girl from Murong's family."

Zhou Muqing smiled and said: "I still remember when His Majesty saw Murong Dang for the first time, he was shocked to be a heavenly man, and secretly swore that he would not bring Murong Dang back to Hongxiu Pavilion and that Murong Dang would become his own. At that time, His Majesty beat Give Min Wang the idea of ​​being a princess."

Qi Guang took a sip of tea and said, "The one who knows the widow is Mo Ruo Aqing."

Zhou Muqing said again: "I entered the palace today, did your Majesty know what I heard when I came all the way?"

Qi Guang used his toes to think and knew that everyone in Miyagi knew that Lu Li slept with her last night. She squinted at him and said, "Oh? What did you hear?"

He sighed: "Your Majesty Lu really should not be underestimated. Half a year ago, His Majesty had a gloomy face when he was mentioned, but now he is sharing the bed with His Majesty in a grandiose manner. Your Majesty is tempted by Minister Lu."

Qi Guang never answered.

Zhou Muqing said again: "I came here today to hunt."

"hunting?"

Zhou Muqing smiled and said: "Naturally, it's hunting. Could it be that Your Majesty thinks I'm doing it for the fifteenth day? Your Majesty has known me for several years. I'm not a person who doesn't know how to be interested. Your Majesty and Lu Shilang are in love, how can I be so blind?" , and Lu Shilang is the fiancé-in-law bestowed by the late emperor himself. If I stand between Your Majesty and Lu Shilang at this time, I am afraid that the people in the household department will not want to. I heard that Lu Shilang is meticulous and rigorous in his work. We all hope that Minister Lu will marry His Majesty as soon as possible so that we can escape from the sea of ​​suffering."

Hearing Zhou Muqing's words, Qi Guang couldn't help but startled.

She said, "You want to..."

Zhou Muqing smiled wryly.

"Your Majesty should not say something outright, to save some face for Mu Qing. I have known Your Majesty for several years, and we have been together for several years. Although I am honored by Your Majesty on the fifteenth day of every month, I also understand His Majesty's thoughts."

Qi Guang understood what he meant.

Every year, only those with official positions can participate in the hunting. If Zhou Muqing wants to participate in the hunting, he must have an official position.And when he became his pillow, it happened to be the year when he won the toad palace. The red robe and white horse were just like the spring breeze, but they turned into nothingness without being granted an official position, just like Nankey Yimeng.

In the past few years, the relationship between her and him is not like a lover, but more like a confidant with physical communication.

After she and Lu Li got married, Lu Li's position as household servant was about to be relinquished. Now that Zhou Muqing said this, he probably already had a plan in mind.

She looked at him.

In fact, she also felt guilty towards him these years. At the beginning, she cut off Zhou Muqing's official career abruptly under her will, and these years, although he was the only one by her side, she never liked him in her heart.

Rather than saying that he doesn't like it, it's better to say that he became a victim of the fighting spirit between himself and his mother.

Qi Guang pondered for a moment, and said: "Just a while ago, Jing Heng and the widow mentioned that Jin Langzhong of the household department had a stubborn illness and had already resigned and returned to his hometown. The official position was also vacant. It’s still shallow, now it’s up to you to make up for it. Su Zhuangyuan, who was named on the imperial examination gold list the year before last, was awarded an official position for the first time, from the fifth rank. Official position, with Ah Qing's ability, promotion is just around the corner."

She had already made up her mind that she and Lu Li were two years and three months away from their wedding, and when Lu Li gave up the post of servant of the household department, Ah Qing could take over at that time.In a year or two, Lin Quan will be over [-] years old, and I am afraid that he will resign as well.In at most five years, Zhou Muqing will be able to become a minister and become the youngest minister since the Great Zhou Dynasty.In this way, it can be regarded as her compensation to Zhou Muqing.

She was not stingy with her own thoughts, and talked to Zhou Muqing again.

Zhou Muqing listened, but his expression was a bit complicated.

He moved his lips and said: "Your Majesty is so fond of the Zhou family, isn't he afraid that our Zhou family will have dissent?" How many civil and military officials have been paid by the side of the family, if the Zhou family really has a different heart, it must be the disaster of Da Zhou.

Qi Guang didn't even think about it, he smiled and said, "Ah Qing, I believe you."
