Ning Huayue said that she would have a good discussion with Ji Mingzhu, but in fact she did not negotiate with Ji Mingzhu at all.
After a few days, the wounds on Lu Qing's face scabbed and began to heal, but Ji Mingzhu still hadn't waited for her apology.
She packed up and prepared to go to Yihongyuan to pay respects. The veil on her face had not yet been taken off. Ning Huayue pretended to be concerned when she saw it: "How is Concubine Wei's injury? If it is still serious, you can ask the prince what he wants. From the palace Find an imperial doctor here to take a look at it for you."
Lu Qing declined Ning Huayue's kindness: "Thank you for your concern, Princess. My injury is not serious. I can just take care of it."
"Alas..." Ning Huayue sighed artificially and said earnestly, "I really don't want to see any friction between the sisters in the mansion, but Concubine Ji is stubborn, so she can only wrong Concubine Wei."
Ji Mingzhu, who was cold-faced and silent, rolled her eyes and curled her lips. She would never apologize to Lu Qing. It was useless for anyone to say it.
Lu Qing didn't even look at Ji Mingzhu and replied sensibly: "Why did the princess say this? I'm not wronged and I can understand."
Ning Huayue showed a satisfied smile: "I knew that Concubine Wei was sensible, otherwise the prince would not love you so much."
In one sentence, he insinuated that Ji Mingzhu was unreasonable and tried to provoke a dispute between Lu Qing and Ji Mingzhu.
Lu Qing was really disgusted with Ning Huayue's behavior of making love everywhere, so she simply pursed her lips and remained silent.
Qiao Siyu watched the show for a while and was happy to see Ji Mingzhu's deflated state. She giggled and said, "Even if Concubine Wei hurts her face, the prince will still go to Jinxiyuan, and he will go more frequently than usual, tsk tsk tsk... …”
This sentence can be said to touch on Ji Mingzhu's pain point. She has been feeling very uneasy in her heart these past few days. Yan Fuguang went to Jinxiyuan almost every day. She didn't believe that Yan Fuguang didn't know what was going on with Lu Qing's face, but she waited and waited and couldn't wait for his reaction.
Ji Mingzhu cares about Yan Fuguang's opinion and racks her brains to guess what he will do. Is he scolding her for Lu Qing's sake, or does he care about Lu Qing's face because he has her in his heart.
She didn't expect that Yan Fuguang would say or do nothing, which made her even more uneasy.
The emotions that had been accumulated for a long time were aroused by Qiao Siyu. Ji Mingzhu frowned coldly, with a disdainful arc in her eyes: "Concubine Qiao is still in the mood to care about whose yard the prince is going to? If I were you, I should be more worried about myself. , How long has your Qinfang Courtyard been deserted, haven’t you counted the days?”
Qiao Siyu clenched her fists: "Concubine Ji, don't worry about me. Just take care of yourself first. What if Taoshan Courtyard falls to the level of Qinfang Courtyard? This may not be the case?"
There was a lot of quarrels as soon as they were greeted. The woman in the backyard was still too idle and was keen on talking nonsense.
Lu Qing felt drowsy after listening to it, and drank a few sips of tea to wake up.
In the end, the quarrel between Qiao Siyu and Ji Mingzhu was slightly more arrogant and domineering than Ji Mingzhu.
At this point, today's greetings are over.
Luqing led Jiqin out of Yihongyuan and took a detour from the garden back to Jinqiyuan.
She didn't expect that Ji Mingzhu was waiting for her in front.
As soon as she saw Lu Qing coming, Ji Mingzhu shouted: "Concubine Wei, come here and let's talk."
Lu Qing paused, and Ji Qin pulled her sleeves, trying to find an excuse to leave.
But Ji Mingzhu would not give up until she achieved her goal. She sent Yizhen over and insisted on asking Lu Qing to come and talk.
Lu Qing went.
Ji Mingzhu sat lazily under the pavilion and casually nodded to the seat next to her: "Sit."
Lu Qing sat down as instructed.
"How is Concubine Wei's injury? Lift the veil and let me take a look."
Lu Qing chuckled and said, "It's almost healed."
Ji Mingzhu stared at her with squinted eyes for a while, feeling nervous in her heart, and said nonchalantly: "The prince didn't ask you?"
Lu Qing blinked and said softly: "Asked."
Ji Mingzhu's heart skipped a beat: "How did you respond?"
Lu Qing laughed out loud. She rubbed the teacup with her fingers, her eyelashes lowered, and her eyes had a deep look: "Of course it is..." She paused intentionally, and saw Ji Mingzhu holding her breath from the corner of her eye. Lu Qing spoke every word. Tao: "Truth, truth, truth, truth."
"Concubine Ji will not think that you are humiliating me in public and attacking me, and I will still defend you in front of the prince, right?"
Ji Mingzhu immediately picked up the teacup and was furious.
Lu Qing Shi Shiran stood up, her clear eyes showing no trace of fear, she said: "If Concubine Ji dares to act, I won't mind being treated like this by you again."
Yizhen boldly snatched the tea cup from Ji Mingzhu's hand. Ji Mingzhu pointed angrily at Lu Qing with her index finger: "Being a concubine will make your back hard, right? If you dare to talk nonsense in front of the prince, I will know I will make it difficult for you."
"You are a side concubine. How can I, a little concubine, compare with you? But the princess is right. I am not a maid in your courtyard who can be beaten and scolded by you."
Ji Mingzhu was furious: "So what if I hit you? What can you do?"
"I can't do anything." Lu Qing smiled sweetly, "I can only lie in the arms of the prince and cry. I can't compare to Concubine Ji."
She irritated Ji Mingzhu with every word, just to see her jumping around.
Ji Mingzhu lived up to her expectations and broke all the tea cups in the pavilion.
Lu Qing silently walked around the pile of debris: "There are still things to do in Jinxiyuan, so go ahead and Concubine Ji can slowly enjoy the scenery in the garden."
Ji Mingzhu was smashing things like crazy, and Yizhen reminded her carefully: "This is in the garden. If you are angry, just go back to Taoshan Court and show it again. If the prince finds out, you will regret it."
Tao Shanyuan spends countless money on porcelain every month, all because Ji Mingzhu has a bad temper and smashes whatever she sees when she is in a bad mood. But before, she vented her emotions behind closed doors, but today she made a fuss in the garden, with people coming and going, and was seen by the servants, shouldn't she gossip behind her back?
Yizhen cared about Ji Mingzhu's image and dragged her back to Taoshan Courtyard.
As soon as Luqing returned to Jinqiyuan, he asked Mandong to quietly call Doctor Jiang.
Dr. Jiang first checked Lu Qing's pulse, then adjusted the latest prescription, and then said softly: "If you have any questions, concubine, just tell me."
Lu Qing felt a little embarrassed: "I always trouble you..."
Dr. Jiang packed the medical box skillfully. She smiled and rolled her eyes when she heard this: "What's the trouble? Since I took charge of recuperating your health, the prince has rewarded me a lot of money. Speaking of which, I have to thank you."
Lu Qing leaned forward and got close to Doctor Jiang's ear: "Then will you keep it a secret for me?"
Doctor Jiang asked faintly: "Isn't what happened in Yihongyuan last time enough to make the concubine believe me?"
Lu Qing quickly coaxed her: "Don't be angry, I made a mistake. Doctor Jiang is good to me, I know, and I want you to do me a small favor this time."
"What's the deal?"
"Is there any medicine that can make people look ugly?"
Ji Mingzhu valued her own appearance the most, so Lu Qing wanted to start with her face and teach her a lesson.
Afraid that Dr. Jiang would disagree, Lu Qing hurriedly promised: "No poison, I am just teasing her and it will not harm anyone's life."
Doctor Jiang nodded helplessly: "That's okay."
