The banquet lasted until the evening, and Lu Qing was exhausted when she returned to Jinshiyuan.
The jewelry on her head was removed one by one, and she moved her stiff neck: "Next time, don't dress up so grandly."
It looks good, but it’s a hassle on my neck.
Ji Qin gently combed Lu Qing's hair, and then massaged her neck, "You have been busy since you woke up in the morning. Even if you are well prepared, greetings, greetings, and jokes still take a lot of effort. of."
Lu Qing smiled: "If anyone sends me posts in the future, you don't have to reject them all."
Ji Qin was happy for Lu Qing: "Are you willing to deal with them? That's fine. You can go out to attend parties when you have time. The ladies in the capital are the best at having fun. With them taking care of you, you won't be afraid of being bored. "
"That's right, necessary interactions are indispensable." Ji Qin's massage technique was very good. Lu Qing felt that her neck was much more comfortable. She asked Ji Qin to continue massaging her shoulders.
After enjoying it for a while, Lu Qing felt much relaxed all over. Just then Man Dong came in and said: "Master, the bathing water is ready."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Lu Qing got up and went to the clean room. Man Dong followed and helped Lu Qing undress and said, "Today someone discovered that Mrs. Ji went to the north yard, maybe to find Ji's concubine."
The water temperature was just right, and Lu Qing was wrapped in warmth. She was not surprised, but asked: "Is there anything abnormal? Besides visiting Concubine Ji, has she done anything else?"
It was rumored that Ji Xun and his wife doted on Ji Mingzhu very much, so she developed this temperament. When Lu Qing first saw Mrs. Ji, she didn't know her purpose, but when Man Dong told her about it, she understood.
Everything is to find a chance to meet Ji Mingzhu. As long as there is no excessive behavior, no one will specifically use it to make excuses.
"That's not true, but no one else knows what they said in the room. Why don't you let me pay attention to Concubine Ji?"
Lu Qing closed her eyes and nodded: "Well, let's observe first. You go out and I'll take a dip myself."
At this time, Mrs. Ji had returned to her house. She recalled Ji Mingzhu's current situation and tears flowed down unconsciously.
When Ji Youyou came, she asked, "Master, what are you going to do, Mingzhu?"
Ji Xun's face immediately darkened: "What should I do? I have to thank His Highness the Crown Prince for not venting his anger on me!"
His daughter is important, but his future is not important? Ji Xun also wanted to have the best of both worlds, but his two daughters both failed to live up to expectations and were holding back.
He had already resigned himself to his fate. Recently, he had been keeping his tail between his legs in court, for fear of offending someone and being suddenly demoted from the capital. At that time, he would not even have the chance to take care of his two daughters nearby.
Mrs. Ji looked at him blankly and grabbed Ji Xun's official robe: "Mingzhu's life is worse than death now. Please think of a way..."
Ji Xun let go of her hand and stepped back with a cold face: "Mingzhu was too impulsive. It's your responsibility and mine. After this incident, she must have improved. Don't worry too much about her."
Yan Fuguang spared Ji Mingzhu's life, and Ji Xun was satisfied. He did not give up on his daughter completely, but it was not the time to plead for mercy yet. Only when he did more things for Yan Fuguang and made more contributions would he have the face to speak.
Mrs. Ji covered her face and cried.
**
Before the flower viewing party, Lu Qing didn't intuitively feel Yan Fuguang's popularity.
It wasn't until she actually saw many young and immature faces appearing shyly in the house that she had a true understanding.
——Yan Fuguang himself is handsome and tall, and with the aura of the prince, he will only be more dazzling.
She looked at the man next to her who was sleeping with a child in her arms with complicated eyes.
Seeing her dazed, Brother Yu, who was sitting in Yan Fuguang's arms, waved his hand and called out in a sweet voice: "Kiss?"
Lu Qing came back to her senses and chuckled: "Mom is here, your father is asleep, you and your brother should be good."
It's strange to say that when Yan Fuguang is not around, Brother Yu and Brother Jiu basically don't miss him, and they sleep well and soundly. But if Yan Fuguang appears in front of them, they are willing to stick to him and get close to him.
Just like today, Yan Fuguang's holiday.
He came over after spending the whole morning in Hemingyuan dealing with official duties. Brother Yu and Brother Jiu climbed onto his lap when they saw him, with a fat child pressed on each leg. Yan Fuguang raised his arms and hugged them, The father and son seemed to be in harmony for a while.
However, Yan Fuguang must have been overworked, so he hugged her and closed her eyes.
Brother Yu sat down and played with the jade pendant around Yan Fuguang's waist, not forgetting to care about his wandering mother.
Brother Jiu didn't have that much patience anymore. His father hugged him too tightly and was uncomfortable, so he twisted his body and broke away from Yan Fuguang's hand.
Yan Fuguang was awakened by the noise. He took Brother Jiu back and squeezed his fleshy butt: "Why are you so naughty? Please sleep quietly with your father."
Brother Ninth frowned, looking very unhappy.
Lu Qing smiled amusedly and stepped forward to hug Brother Jiu, then turned around and took Brother Yu away, and took a quilt to cover Yan Fuguang: "They are very noisy, please sleep well, I will take them out for a walk. "
Yan Fuguang's eyelids were heavy, and he obediently covered himself with quilt and fell asleep.
The garden is beautiful in autumn.
Brother Yu and Brother Jiu were playing with leaves under the tree. Lu Qing sat lazily on the stone bench and watched them.
"Here!" Brother Yu found a big leaf and wanted to give it to Brother Jiu.
"No!" The arrogant Brother Jiu insisted on finding it himself.
He crouched unsteadily, his eyes darting around.
Brother Yu curled his lips. He turned around and gave the leaves that Brother Jiu didn't want to Lu Qing.
"Kiss, give it!"
Lu Qing was not as disrespectful as Brother Jiu, so she accepted it immediately: "Thank you, Brother Yu, it's so beautiful!"
Brother Yu pursed his lips with a smile, and was full of energy to find beautiful leaves for Lu Qing.
After playing here for a while, Brother Jiu grabbed a few big leaves and stuffed them with Lu Qing, then took her hand and walked towards the pond: "Fish! Look at the little fish!"
Lu Qing turned around and asked Brother Yu: "Brother is going to see fish, is Brother Yu going?"
Brother Yu didn't want to leave. He found that there were more beautiful red leaves farther away on the other side: "No!"
"All right."
Lu Qing left Ji Qin and a little maid here. She led Brother Jiu, followed by Man Dong and another little maid to the pond.
Brother Ninth wanted to get closer to see the fish, but Lu Qing squatted on the bank and grabbed his clothes tightly, not forgetting to tell him: "Don't get too close. After watching for a while, we will go to the middle pavilion, where we can also see the fish."
Brother Jiu nodded obediently in agreement, and then stared intently at the goldfish that swung their tails flexibly inside. After a while, Lu Qing heard Man Dong greeting Qiao Siyu from behind.
She was surprised that Qiao Siyu didn't even go out, so why did she just meet him today?
