Qiao Siyu gritted her teeth and knelt in the courtyard of Yihongyuan. Ji Qin followed and told Feishuang: "There is no need for futons or anything like that. Only Concubine Qiao kneels seriously will Concubine Wei be willing to believe that she is sincerely repentant."
Fei Shuang paused and took away the futon that was half stuffed under Qiao Siyu's knees.
Ji Qin smiled: "Hey, that's right, two hours. You can get up when the hour is up. Concubine Qiao thinks about it carefully. Concubine Wei said that she still wants to listen to your reflection."
Qiao Siyu was holding back her breath until her face turned red. She clenched the corners of her clothes tightly with her hands and looked gloomy.
The atmosphere in the room was stagnant, and Lu Qing was unmoved. She sat in the first place on the left, calmly tasting the good tea from Yihongyuan.
Ning Huayue lost her good expression and said with a cold expression: "I have something to tell you. The Queen is planning to send a few more sisters to help the palace flourish when there are few people in the palace. Everyone is ready to welcome you. Preparation for new sisters.”
Now the room was completely silent. Everyone looked at each other and conveyed this message with their eyes: From now on, the house will be more lively, but I wonder if anyone can really be like Concubine Wei, who can really spread the branches and leaves.
"The prince has very few heirs. The three young masters were all born from the belly of Concubine Wei. There is no such example in the past. In order to achieve harmony, we still need new people and more children."
All in all, Yan Fuguang cannot be allowed to pamper Lu Qing alone.
Ning Huayue's thoughts were very firm and naive. She thought that as long as Lu Qing was kept in check, Yan Fuguang would belong to everyone. But in the first step, she was wrong. She didn't know that there were men in the emperor's family who would be devoted to one woman. The crux was not Lu Qing, but Yan Fuguang.
Everyone wants Yan Fuguang's favor, but they have never understood true "love". Therefore, it is obvious that what more people want is not the love, but what they want is the various benefits brought by the favor. .
Lu Qing is inevitably vulgar, but she is very lucky.
When she heard Ning Huayue say that there would be new people entering the palace, Lu Qing lowered her head subconsciously. The look of confusion in her eyes might be what everyone wanted to see, but she didn't want to show her timidity.
"What the princess said is absolutely true. New people entering the house can fill the vacancies."
Ning Huayue was extremely satisfied: "The concubine Wei's wishes are also what the empress said. There are still two concubines left, so it won't look good if they are left empty. When the new couple comes into the house, we will make a decision based on the prince's wishes."
This time I would like to say hello today, and that’s pretty much it.
Lu Qing stayed for a while, and when the others left, she turned to look for Ning Huayue.
There was no need to beat around the bush, Lu Qing got straight to the point: "I heard that the princess wants to marry Dr. Jiang? I wonder who the other party is?"
"Concubine Wei cares so much about Dr. Jiang?" Ning Huayue was so happy that she hit the snake seven inches. She couldn't kill Lu Qing, but she still had to hit her where it hurts.
"It's not that I don't care, it's that Brother Lan and the three of them can't live without Doctor Jiang." Lu Qing knew Ning Huayue's virtue well and couldn't directly admit that she valued Doctor Jiang. Yes, only take the medicine prescribed by Dr. Jiang. Your Majesty means to keep Dr. Jiang in the house for the rest of her life and let her be responsible for Brother Yu and Brother Jiu."
"Really? That's a coincidence. I'm interested in He who is in charge of purchasing in the dining room. In the future, when they get married, they will still live in the house." Ning Huayue smiled with a meaningful smile, "The purchasing in the dining room is a fat job, Jiang The doctor girl has good looks... I thought of helping her find a good family because of her good temperament. Women, don't they just want stability in their lives? It's better to have a man to rely on than to be alone."
Lu Qing was not in a hurry to refuse Doctor Jiang. She nodded thoughtfully, seeming to agree with Ning Huayue: "What you said is correct. Let's see what Doctor Jiang thinks."
Ning Hua Yue said with a smile: "It doesn't matter what she thinks. Her parents have ordered her to be a matchmaker. She has no family. The palace has to consider a weak woman like her. As a princess, I just have to make the decision for her."
Lu Qing also laughed when she explained the difficulty of forcing others so refreshingly.
"That won't work." She said bluntly, "Doctor Jiang is not an ordinary woman. She was recruited by the prince. For such a big matter, the prince still needs to be informed. You won't make the decision on your own, right? Something else. If you don't tell me, I'm afraid that the prince will be angry and have a quarrel with you, princess."
Ning Huayue was unexpectedly tough: "I just want to find a reliable person for her, and I don't want to push her into a pit of fire. The prince is sensible and will not blame me. Isn't it that Concubine Wei has any objections?"
"I don't dare, then you should keep an eye on Dr. Jiang first. It's time for me to go back. If it's too late, the two little guys will get into trouble."
**
In Jinxiyuan, Lu Qing asked someone to inquire about the manager of the dining room as soon as he came back.
After hearing this, Man Dong recalled it and found that she had some impression of this person.
"When I went to pick up the food, I met this steward He before. He doesn't look as fat as the cook, but he looks decent. Several of the maids and cooks who work in the kitchen like to look at him secretly."
Ji Qin brought a few plates of cakes and placed them gently in Lu Qing's hand, "What matters more when you marry is the character of that person. As the saying goes, people's hearts are separated from each other. People who look like good people are often not good people."
Lu Qing gave one of the dishes of pastries to the two of them, pointed to the round stool in front of them, and told them: "Sit down and talk."
She was always kind to the people around her, so Ji Qin and Man Dong smiled and sat down.
"You tell me, if the princess insists on marrying Dr. Jiang to Guanshi He, how can we help Dr. Jiang?"
Ji Qin said slowly: "First investigate the background and character of Manager He. If there are any problems, you can take advantage of it. The princess can't force Dr. Jiang to marry a bad man, right?"
Man Dong said: "I'm afraid that nothing can be found out. At that time, I can only threaten He Guanshi to make him wiser and stay away from Dr. Jiang!"
Lu Qing lazily picked up a piece of pastry and put it into his mouth: "I can't think of a more comprehensive solution than what you suggested for the time being. Let's take it one step at a time. In short, even if He Guanshi is a good person, Doctor Jiang can't Even if you get married, you still have to respect her opinion."
A woman's life is tightly bound by the words of having children and carrying on the family line. In fact, from the bottom of her heart, Lu Qing envies women like Dr. Jiang and Ruan Ting. They have walked a difficult but extremely meaningful path. .
"My slaves think so too." Ji Qin's eyes were clear, "It's not just that you can only get married. You slaves can also support themselves by working hard."
Man Dong was the same. She shook her head like a rattle: "There are many incompetent men who are difficult to serve. If anyone accidentally marries such a man, there will be no way out. It will be a dead end!"
Lu Qing looked at the two of them with a smile and said softly: "Then I also respect your opinions. It's up to you whether you want to get married or not."
