"I've met Concubine Ning."
Lu Qingtang bowed casually, and Su Mu and Kou Dan also turned slightly sideways.
After finishing the ceremony, Lu Qingtang looked at Mo Xinyuan next to Concubine Ning. She deliberately raised her pregnant belly towards her, "Sister Yuan'er also came out to play. What a coincidence."
This made Mo Xinyuan a little emotional. She immediately turned her face away, her eyes turning red.
When Concubine Ning saw this, she was angry at first, and then sneered, "Isn't this Princess Chen? Why do you have time to hang out? Shouldn't you be fulfilling your filial piety in front of the Queen Mother now?"
"It goes without saying that you should be filial, but the Queen Mother takes pity on our juniors and understands our difficulties. She doesn't want some people to keep eating bloody steamed buns and find them fishy!" Lu Qingtang naturally refused to give in.
Concubine Ning heard the meaning of Lu Qingtang's words, and then said: "Really, but the Queen Mother feels sorry for you, so you can't just ignore etiquette."
Lu Qingtang said "Oh" and then said: "There is a grandma in our house who lived to be over ninety years old. Does the concubine know the secret of her longevity?"
"How do I know? It's none of my business!" Concubine Ning suddenly felt confused.
Lu Qingtang immediately laughed, "Mother-in-law is right, even if it's none of her business, she won't care about anything that's not her business!"
Concubine Ning blushed and immediately understood that Lu Qingtang was scolding her for being nosy.
Anger ignited in her heart, and she immediately pointed her finger at Lu Qingtang and cursed: "Lu Qingtang, how dare you curse that I can only live to be over ninety!"
"What? When did I say that?" Now it was Lu Qingtang's turn to be confused.
Concubine Ning frowned, "You still said no. You said that my ninety-year-old grandma wouldn't mind her own business. Aren't you just cursing me?"
Lu Qingtang understood now that he was angry about this.
No, we can't let her misunderstand, we have to explain quickly.
"Concubine, you have misunderstood. What I mean is that grandma never meddles in her own business. She lived to be over ninety years old, and those who meddle in their own business will definitely not survive." Lu Qingtang explained to her seriously.
Concubine Ning: "..."
Her face turned red instantly, from her cheeks to the tips of her ears.
Su Mu couldn't hold it back anymore, lowered her head and laughed. Kou Dan quickly pushed her elbow to signal her to stop laughing.
Upon seeing this, Concubine Ning immediately said: "If you dare to laugh at me, drag me over and beat you to death with sticks!"
Su Mu immediately covered his mouth and looked at Lu Qingtang in horror.
"Whoever dares to touch my people, I will tell them to live or die." Lu Qingtang's words were low-pitched, but very intimidating.
The two nuns behind Concubine Ning originally wanted to step forward, but they were all shocked by her words.
Lu Qingtang glanced at them, and then smiled at Concubine Ning, "Su Mu is young and ignorant. There will be some mistakes in what he says and does. You have always been generous, so don't argue with her."
"If you say so, I would be stingy if I cared!" Concubine Ning gritted her teeth and stared at Lu Qingtang.
Lu Qingtang laughed again, "What you said makes it sound like I am ignorant. We are all ignorant, but you are the only one who is sensible. It seems that you are a little out of place."
Concubine Ning was stunned again. Just when she was about to speak, she heard Lu Qingtang say: "Su Mu, why don't you apologize to Concubine Ning quickly? What's the matter if you can't live to ninety? There are so many people in the world who can't live to ninety." Damn it, why are you just laughing at Concubine Ning!"
"Lu Qingtang! What are you talking about!" Concubine Ning was so angry that she almost rolled her eyes.
After hearing this, Su Mu immediately stepped forward and knelt down, "I'm sorry, Concubine Ning, you have a lot, don't argue with Su Mu."
"Su Mu, you are right. Concubine Ning is very sensible. Why would she argue with you? You are just trying to judge a gentleman with a villain's heart." Lu Qingtang echoed.
Su Mu lowered his eyes and smiled, "Yes, Su Mu is a villain, and Concubine Ning is a gentleman. A gentleman will naturally not argue with a villain."
After saying that, Su Mu looked at Concubine Ning with an innocent face, waiting for Concubine Ning's "forgiveness".
"You! And you! I will remember you. Don't think that I don't know how my son died. You two will suffer retribution!" Concubine Ning was so angry that she was shaking all over. Thanks to the two mothers-in-law, she was supported. .
However, Lu Qingtang looked puzzled, "What? The prince is dead? Impossible. The fortune teller said that the prince can live to be a hundred years old. How could he die? He can live ten years longer than you."
Concubine Ning: "..."
"Lu Qingtang, I will kill you!" Concubine Ning roared and stepped forward, but Lu Qingtang looked calm and showed no fear at all.
Seeing this, Mo Xinyuan grabbed Concubine Ning and said, "Concubine, I have a headache, let's go back..."
Ever since she knew that what happened to her might have been set up by Lu Qingtang, she had developed a sense of fear towards Lu Qingtang from the inside out.
This woman was so terrible, so terrible that she couldn't even imagine it.
She is now so scared that even if she is glanced at by Lu Qingtang, she will feel that she is plotting against her.
Concubine Ning glanced at her daughter, who looked haggard, and could only hold back the sullenness in her heart, turned around and walked away.
But she had to swallow this breath for the time being. She had no one to rely on now, her son was gone, her daughter was only half-lived, and she was too old and lustful to please His Majesty.
"Mother is gone? I won't send her away!" Lu Qingtang stood there and shouted expressionlessly. He couldn't help but roll his eyes, "What bad luck!"
Su Mu who was on the side stood up when he saw Concubine Ning walking away, and said with an apologetic expression: "I'm sorry, Princess, it was my fault just now, I almost hurt you."
"It's okay, even if you didn't smile, she would still find trouble for me in a roundabout way." Lu Qingtang put his arm around her shoulders.
Kou Dan also came over and took Lu Qingtang's arm, "Princess, actually I wanted to laugh just now, but it was too uncomfortable to hold it in."
"Then laugh! Laugh as much as you want!" Lu Qingtang took the lead in laughing, and then Su Mu and Kou Dan also laughed.
The two babies were picking flowers and playing around, and they were all giggling with joy.
Lu Qingtang looked back at the backs of the mother and daughter while laughing, and suddenly saw another figure appearing at the entrance of the garden, just in time to bump into Concubine Ning and the others.
But Concubine Ning slapped the man in the face, causing him to fall to the ground.
The figure of that person is very familiar, he looks like...
Wang Cairen!
Lu Qingtang quickly asked Sumukou Dan to help Wang Cairen up. They helped Wang Cairen sit under the pavilion. Lu Qingtang quickly showed her face.
Concubine Ning's attack was too heavy, and half of Wang Cairen's face was slightly swollen.
Lu Qingtang hurried to a secluded place, took out the medicine from the bracelet and applied it to Wang Cairen.
She looked at her with a look of shame, "I'm really sorry, Wang Cairen. I just had an argument with Concubine Ning and made her angry, but she took all her anger out on you. I'm really sorry."
Wang Cairen waved his hand and turned his gaze to her belly, "Good boy, it has nothing to do with you. Even without you, she would still attack me. We low-ranking concubines are just the punching bags for these people. "
She paused and then said, "How many months has it been?"
"Back to Wang Cairen, it's been more than April." Lu Qingtang smiled and held her hand, saying with a friendly expression, "I haven't thanked Wang Cairen for the clothes he made for the two children."
As she spoke, she waved to the nannies and motioned for them to bring the baby over.
Wang Cairen was very happy to see the two babies. He could not hold them one by one. He liked them no matter how much he saw them.
