After dealing with Xiang Sanniang's family, the New Year is coming.
Ji Mingzhu moved out of Taoshan Courtyard and went to the concubine's room. The huge gap was unacceptable to her, and she fell ill at the end of the twelfth lunar month.
Ning Huayue was originally glad that Yan Fuguang didn't really punish her, but seeing Ji Mingzhu's fate made her extremely uneasy.
Ji Mingzhu, who has always been flamboyant, was reduced from a side concubine to a concubine. People from the Ji family were always asking Yan Fuguang what to do, which showed that he could not be influenced by others.
Ning Huayue couldn't help but wonder if one day she violated Yan Fuguang's taboo. Even if Queen Xu came forward, she would still not be forgiven.
Lingyun sighed and analyzed rationally: "Concubine Wei can't move anymore. Let's stay put until the limelight comes."
Lu Qing's status in Yan Fuguang's heart was obviously different. Everyone wanted to see her fall out of favor, but no one could pull her down.
"I can't bear the tone of the eldest son. I didn't expect that the Wei family could be so capable and pregnant with the second child." Ning Huayue has aged a lot overnight, and her features have changed.
She reviewed this marriage from beginning to end and realized that she was a joke.
"When the rumors started, I should have asked grandpa to break off the engagement..." Ning Huayue laughed at herself. She didn't have much admiration for Yan Fuguang, but more of a reluctance.
As the Princess of Jin, she is unwilling to have the dignity of a princess, and she wants to be the hostess of the Prince Jin's palace but cannot do so.
If she could have thought these things through earlier, she might not have made her situation so bad.
Lingyun was frightened when she heard this. She hurriedly lowered her voice and persuaded: "You can't say that, miss. How glorious is it for you to become a princess? There is no turning back when you shoot. You have no chance to regret it!"
Now even if Ning Ge Lao comes forward, Ning Huayue will not be able to escape unscathed.
No matter how many bad things she did after becoming the princess, Emperor Xihe would never allow the Ning family to bring shame to the royal family. Reconciliation is absolutely impossible, and Ning Huayue's sudden death is the right direction.
"I know..." Ning Huayue wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her mind still clear, "It's just talk, I won't give up, I will fight for the honor that the prince does not give me, and I will fight for whoever he likes. It doesn’t matter who you target, at worst it will be difficult for everyone.”
Lingyun was stunned, she didn't seem to mean it...
**
Jinxiyuan is still very beautiful, Luqing and the two children in her belly are fine, and Brother Lan is growing better and better.
After being enlightened at the age of three, Brother Lan is now over two years old. In a few months, Yan Fuguang will hire a special tutor for him. Lu Qing then remembered that Yan Fuguang also promised her the opportunity to study.
Lan Geer flipped through the picture album, pointed his chubby fingers on it, and studied hard.
"Birds...fish...flowers..."
Lu Qing followed him in a serious manner. When he saw that Brother Lan had got it right, he praised him: "Awesome! Everything is right!"
Yan Fuguang looked at the mother and son opposite him with smiles in his eyes, and Lu Qing suddenly looked at him with a smile.
She tilted her head and deliberately reminded: "My lord, have you forgotten something?"
Several months have passed, and she has not seen her husband yet, and her studies have made zero progress. If she hadn't been stuck with Xiang Sanniang's family and had no time, Lu Qing would have reminded Yan Fuguang earlier.
"Forgot something?" How could Yan Fuguang not know what she meant? He coughed twice and moved his shoulders, "There are too many affairs in the Criminal Department these days, and my shoulders hurt because of my busy schedule."
Lu Qing cleverly moved over and raised her hand to squeeze his shoulder: "I'll help you squeeze it, maybe it will be better, but it's best to let the doctor take a look, so as not to delay your business."
Brother Lan thought it was fun and joined Lu Qing. He hit Yan Fuguang's leg hard with his small fist and finally blinked his big eyes and asked his father: "Are you comfortable?"
Yan Fuguang purred his little head and said, "You are so energetic. When you grow up, you should learn martial arts."
Lu Qing became interested and whispered in Yan Fuguang's ear: "When I give birth to a child, I should also learn a few tricks from Wu Shuang. Even if I don't use them, I can use them to strengthen my body."
She didn't want to be a weak woman without the strength to restrain a chicken, and Dr. Jiang said that people still need to exercise regularly to stay healthy.
In short, Lu Qing wanted to learn how to read and write, and she also wanted to learn self-defense moves.
Yan Fuguang held her hand on his shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, you study hard, and when our daughter is born, let her also learn."
Lu Qing muttered: "But you have forgotten what you promised to be my concubine..."
"I didn't forget." Yan Fuguang took the upturned Brother Lan and sat him down on his lap, then pulled Lu Qing to the front and explained in a good voice, "I want to find you a good wife, but later There was another delay, so it was a little late. Now that the person has been found, you have nothing else to worry about. You can start studying anytime."
Lu Qing's eyes were shining, and she was so excited that she wished she could get to know her husband now.
In the end, Yan Fuguang held her down and set the time for tomorrow.
Lu Qing kept this in mind. She woke up early the next morning, changed her clothes and got ready to go see her husband.
Yan Fuguang asked Fang Jinbao to bring people to Jinxiyuan, and Lu Qing fell in love with the calm and calm Master Ruan at first sight.
"Hello, Mrs. Ruan." She greeted politely.
Ruan Ting is the daughter of a second-level Jinshi. She loves reading by nature and has determined to be a teacher since she was a child. However, the world rarely accepts women entering serious classrooms, and even children who are enlightened will not choose her as their wife.
Yan Fuguang didn't want to make a big fuss about Lu Qing and let more people focus on her, nor did he want to randomly find someone with unclear character to teach Lu Qing, so he spent a lot of time to Find the right candidate Ruan Ting.
She is knowledgeable and capable enough and comes from a humble background, so she will not look down on someone like Lu Qing.
This was indeed the case. After Yan Fuguang left, Lu Qing and Ruan Ting chatted for a while and found that they liked each other.
Ruan Ting has a tenacious character. When she learned that Lu Qing aspired to study and become literate, she did not laugh at him or make condescending comments.
She maintained an equal attitude toward Lu Qing, and from the perspective of a master, she was pleased to have such a studious student.
Lu Qing put down her anxiety and took the first lesson in her life seriously.
After class, Lu Qing sent Ruan Ting out. In the evening, her joy had not completely faded.
"Your Majesty, are there very few female wives like Mrs. Ruan?"
"Well, that's the way the world is."
"But I think Master Ruan is not inferior to many other men, right?"
"Yes, she is more knowledgeable than many men."
Lu Qing felt a little indescribable. She was silent for a long time before discussing, "I will give Mrs. Ruan some of the moon silver to her."
It is not easy for a woman, and it must be even more difficult for Ruan Ting to reach this point.
Luqing believes that women should not be trapped in the inner house. She works as a concubine for Yan Fuguang and gives birth to children for him. At the same time, she also longs to know the truest and freest version of herself.
