Ning Huayue's body never recovered, and Lu Qing and others still only went to pay their respects every five days.
Stepping into Yihongyuan, I saw Xu Miaoyan kneeling under the verandah and mopping the floor.
She was tortured so much by Ning Huayue that her face and eyes almost lost all vitality, and her whole body was just a shell, living stiffly and numbly.
Some of the maids passing by her didn't forget to spit on her, saying that she "deserved it".
Without squinting, Lu Qing led Ji Qin and walked over the floor that Xu Miaoyan had just mopped.
Lingyun came out and scolded Xu Miaoyan with a frown: "This is the place where the masters are going to pay their respects. You made the ground so slippery. What if there is an accident?"
Immediately, a little maid roughly pulled Xu Miaoyan away.
Lu Qing took another look and asked Lingyun while walking: "Is the Crown Princess feeling better?"
"Back to Concubine Wei, the Crown Princess is feeling better. The doctor said she can't be tired yet, so you and Concubine Chen need to pay more attention to things in the palace."
"This is natural, so the princess doesn't have to worry."
Ning Huayue dressed up and was helped to sit down on a soft chair. A soft pillow was stuffed behind her for her to lean on.
After hearing that Lu Qing had sent Xue'er out of the house, Ning Huayue habitually found fault: "Does the Crown Prince know that Concubine Wei did this?"
Lu Qing replied: "I have already reported it to His Highness."
Although she should have told Yan Fuguang, and Yan Fuguang had no objection, many people were still unhappy.
"I heard that you also grounded Concubine Ji?"
"Yes."
Seeing her indifferent expression, Ning Huayue knew that she made the decision without even thinking of telling her, the Crown Princess, in advance.
"Ahem... Your Highness asked you and Concubine Chen to take care of the housework more. He didn't tell you to go past me!"
She was afraid that after she recovered from her illness, Hui Luqing and Chen Qingzi would have the power of housekeeping in their hands and take away her power.
Lu Qing explained amusingly: "You are still sick, and His Highness also told us not to disturb your recovery unless necessary. If these trivial matters bother the Crown Princess, when will your illness be cured?"
Chen Qingzi helped: "Concubine Wei and I discussed the matter of sending Concubine Bai to the village, and we both agreed. As for Concubine Ji, she is so unruly that Concubine Wei only punished her with grounding. kindness."
Now Ning Huayue's sense of crisis became even greater. In other people's houses, the most fierce fights between the concubines were between you and me. Why did the two concubines get together inexplicably in their house? If they stand together, why don't they put Ning Huayue on the other side to confront them?
Ning Huayue suddenly felt dizzy.
Seeing this, Lu Qing said without any delay: "The Crown Princess is not feeling well. That's all for today's greetings. Please help the Crown Princess back to rest quickly. Don't be tired."
It was useless for Ning Huayue not to give in. Her body was not as good as before. The imperial doctor said that her foundation was damaged and it would be difficult to recover.
"Ahem, mama, I can't lose my stewardship. I want you to help me take care of things, so that when I get better, it will be convenient for me to take over."
She wanted to get her housekeeping rights back from Yan Fuguang, and it would make her feel more at ease to put them in the hands of Grandma Wang than in the hands of those two people.
Grandma Wang had no choice but to agree to her.
When Yan Fuguang heard Fang Jinbao mention this, he raised his eyebrows: "Power, I can't let go of this at any time, so just let her go. Just don't blame me if you're exhausted."
Fang Jinbaoxu wiped the sweat from his forehead: "What are you talking about?"
"Reveal this matter to the Ning family, so that Ning Jianshan won't keep nagging in my ears!"
Yan Fuguang was annoyed by the nagging of his talkative father-in-law. After Ning Huayue was poisoned, Ning Jianshan often came to him to inquire about his daughter, wiping his tears and saying how difficult it was for him and Mrs. Ning to raise such a daughter.
Yan Fuguang knew what he wanted to hear. He just wanted to get a guarantee from himself that he would respect the identity of Princess Ning Huayue from now on.
But Yan Fuguang pretended not to understand what he meant. Empress Xu asked Xu Miaoyan to administer the medicine, so what does it have to do with him? The Ning family will stand with whomever they like.
After writing a secret letter, he sealed the envelope and handed it to Liang Fei.
"Go to Jinshiyuan."
After working hard all day, he could finally rest. Yan Fuguang just wanted to enjoy the quiet time in Jinxi Courtyard.
Lu Qing has the habit of practicing calligraphy every day. At first, it was just to write well and complete the tasks assigned by Master Ruan. Later, she found that she could feel pleasure from the process of practicing calligraphy.
Ji Qin reminded her in a low voice: "Master, Prince... no, it's the Crown Prince who is here."
Lu Qing didn't even raise her head: "Yes, I understand. I'll go there in a moment." She didn't finish the work at hand, so she was in no hurry to see Yan Fuguang.
Yan Fuguang waited for a while, but instead of waiting for Lu Qing, he waited for Lan Geer, who had returned from school happily.
With little stars twinkling in Lan Ge'er's eyes, he stood proudly in front of Yan Fuguang: "Father! Master praised me today!"
He leaned softly on Yan Fuguang's lap and kept talking with his small mouth: "Master also said that my handwriting has improved, my memory is good, and I learned the lessons I learned yesterday well..."
Yan Fuguang touched his little head: "Your mother mentioned to your father before that it is really lonely for you to study alone. Your father has found three companions for you and will ask them to study with you in two days. "
Brother Lan raised a big smile: "Really!"
"Really, they are also enlightened and their studies are no worse than yours. Lan Ge'er will have to work hard in the future."
It was impossible for Yan Fuguang not to care about his son's affairs, so he picked them back and forth before choosing three friends for Lan Geer.
At that time, it was announced that he would find a reading companion for Lan Ge'er. Many courtiers specifically mentioned their children and grandchildren in front of Yan Fuguang. With the establishment of the crown prince by Emperor Xihe, Yan Fuguang's son's reading companion was tantamount to meat and potatoes. Who could Everyone wants to take a bite with a shameless face, which is equivalent to finding a shortcut in advance for their descendants, isn't it?
Lu Qing put down her pen and washed her hands and came over, just in time to hear the good news.
She smiled, touched Brother Lan's face, and encouraged, "We, Brother Lan, are very good. If we have a reading companion in the future, we will definitely study more carefully."
Lan Ge'er has good concentration, is meticulous in doing things, and is very talented in reading, which Lu Qing knows.
She has great confidence in her son.
Brother Lan couldn't wait. He pestered Yan Fuguang to find out the names and temperaments of his companions. Yan Fuguang couldn't bear the disturbance and just wanted to be with Lu Qing, so he sent him to ask Fang Jinbao.
"Fang Jinbao knows, let him introduce it to you!"
Lan Geer looked at Yan Fuguang with a smile and exposed him bluntly: "My father only wants to talk to my mother, I know!"
Lu Qing felt a little uncomfortable and moved the hand held by Yan Fuguang.
Yan Fuguang hugged Lu Qing without hesitation and said, "That's it. Brother Lan is right. From now on, my father hopes that you will be more discerning."
Brother Lan agreed with good temper and went to find Fang Jinbao happily.
