Lu Qing was not very familiar with Zhong Yan and Zhu Qingjia. They usually only met each other when entering the palace, but the palace was a place where caution was the most important, so they never had a chance to talk. Only in the Shunkang Hou Mansion did Lu Qing have the opportunity to look at the two youngest princesses.
Zhong Yan looks dignified and majestic. It is said that she has a good relationship with Duan Wang Yan Qingzhou. She has a generous temperament and is easy to like.
It took some time for Zhu Qingjia and Yan Qinghuai to get married, but the two of them were like two firecrackers, always crackling together. Everyone was waiting for Yan Qinghuai to take a concubine, but he didn't. There was still only one in the house. princess. The young couple's thoughts are all - just quarrel and make do with it.
Lu Qing looked at Zhu Qingjia. She pursed her lips and looked back with embarrassment. She looked shy and petite, which made people feel affectionate.
"I didn't know you were coming too. If you knew, you should have made an appointment to come together."
Zhu Qingjia said hurriedly: "We didn't tell you in advance, I don't blame you."
Indeed, no one is to blame. Lu Qing didn't know they were coming. They thought Ning Huayue was attending the birthday banquet in the Prince's Mansion, so they didn't go to ventilate.
Jiang Mihe immediately sorted out the twists and turns. She smiled and said, "Don't you like to go out the most? Why do you go out in such a cold weather?"
Lu Qing said again: "The Crown Princess and Concubine Chen are unwell."
Jiang Mihe glanced at her pointed chin: "I see you have lost a lot of weight."
Zhong Yan and Zhu Qingjia finally found a place to interrupt. They nodded their heads and agreed: "I am much thinner than the last time we met."
Lu Qing smiled helplessly. Yan Fuguang had said this many times in the house, but she seemed to be seriously injured this time, and her recovery was not as easy as before, so she couldn't grow flesh for a while.
Jiang Mihe pinched her looming double chin and said distressedly: "I can't control my mouth when winter comes and I want to eat everything. What will I do in spring?"
Zhong Yan has a plump figure. She looked at Jiang Mihe carefully and confirmed: "It's no big deal, she's still beautiful. You can eat whatever you want. Being happy is the most important thing in life!"
Lu Qing also added: "Yes, you are healthy and not fat. What are you afraid of?"
Jiang Mihe was calmed down by each of them, her smile spread to the corners of her eyes and brows, she said: "That's good, that's good, then I'll feel relieved."
Yan Xianzhi was grounded, and her good days were coming again. She didn't have to worry about that disgusting man doing whatever he wanted, she was so happy!
What Jiang Mihe was thinking was that she really should eat more, otherwise she wouldn't be able to eat when Yan Xianzhi appeared in front of her again.
The atmosphere here was harmonious, and they lost the sense of distance by talking to each other about trivial things. Zhong Yan and Zhu Qingjia quickly became familiar with Lu Qing.
Mrs. Cui looked at Lu Qing and nodded secretly. She winked at Zhao Ruoling beside her, who avoided her sight shyly.
Mrs. Cui specially sent the post to Lu Qing because she wanted to see what the temperament of the crown prince's concubine was like. Now it seems that she is not that kind of arrogant and disrespectful person.
——Flowers don’t bloom for a hundred days, and those who treat others with sex will always have a day when their love fades away.
This is almost everyone's evaluation and understanding of Lu Qing. While they lament that she is favored, they are waiting to see her fall out of favor.
Zhao Ruoling was twenty-eight years old. She was not born into a world-famous person, but she was still pretty and charming. Mrs. Cui likes this granddaughter the most, and has been discussing with her daughter-in-law to find a good husband for her.
Looking at the capital, there is no one more suitable than Yan Fuguang.
Although Zhao Ruoling could only have the status of a concubine at the moment, when Yan Fuguang ascended the throne and became emperor, he would have more than just these statuses. The people in their Hou Mansion are open-minded and willing to take a long-term view.
Everyone knows that the Crown Princess does not like the Prince, so there is no need to be too worried; only Concubine Wei needs to be vigilant. She has a child with her and the Prince's favor. If Zhao Ruoling comes in, it is best to see who Concubine Wei is. what kind of person.
After some observation today, Mrs. Cui felt relieved.
She quietly said to Zhao Ruoling's mother, Mrs. Zhao: "I can see that Concubine Wei is not that cruel. If Ruoling enters the house, we can protect her more."
Mrs. Zhao hesitated: "But what if Concubine Wei is always favored? Isn't it true that Ruo Ling will never be able to succeed?"
She wanted to marry her daughter to a good family, as long as she was nice to her daughter, but her husband and parents-in-law said that she was too stingy and that she was not clear-headed if she left the prince as a sweetheart.
Mrs. Cui also loves Zhao Ruoling, but she and Mrs. Zhao have different thoughts: "Ruoling is better than Wei Concubine in one thing."
Mrs. Zhao asked: "What?"
Mrs. Cui said: "Family background. If Ling has our entire Hou family behind her, Wei Concubine has nothing. It doesn't matter if the prince gives her favors. Compared with the country and the beauty, a man will definitely choose the country!"
Mrs. Zhao thought about it carefully, but she still felt it was inappropriate: "You said our Hou family, but the Ning family behind the Crown Princess is weak? And the Chen family behind Concubine Chen?"
These two families were considered to be wealthy families in the capital. Why did the prince just give his favor to Concubine Wei?
Mrs. Cui saw that her daughter-in-law was unwilling, so she had to say: "Then let's wait a little longer and find some opportunity for the prince and Ruo Ling to meet. If the prince is interested, we will send Ruo Ling into the house..."
Mrs. Zhao answered anxiously: "If the prince doesn't have that intention, let's find a suitable match for Ruo Ling."
"Okay, I'll do as you say!"
Lu Qing had no idea what Mrs. Cui was thinking. She was happily chatting with her little sisters.
When the birthday banquet was coming to an end, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and a carriage stopped at the gate of the Hou Mansion.
The servants were surprised and ran to report to the old Marquis and Mrs. Cui: "His Royal Highness is here!"
Immediately, Yan Fuguang appeared wearing a cloud-white cloak with green branches and an umbrella in his hand.
The old Marquis was overjoyed: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, and I have come to welcome you from afar..."
Yan Fuguang stepped forward and helped him up: "Old Marquis, there is no need to be polite."
Lu Qing blinked behind her. She didn't expect Yan Fuguang to appear here.
Moreover, she saw Yan Fuguang drink two glasses of wine, shake his head apologetically when the old Marquis and Mrs. Cui tried to persuade him, and then turned around and waved to her.
"gone back."
"...?"
Lu Qing was pushed by Ji Qin, and then she walked from the crowd to Yan Fuguang's side.
With a look from him, Ji Qin put Lu Qing's cloak on her.
Yan Fuguang smoothly put the hat on Lu Qing's head, then he opened the umbrella and pulled her under the umbrella.
Lu Qing only reached a little bit above Yan Fuguang's shoulders. He took the initiative to lower the umbrella and tilt it toward Lu Qing, keeping his eyes on her feet.
The snow crunched under her feet, and some belated joy rose in her heart.
"Your Highness?"
"Um?"
"Are you here specifically to pick up my concubine?"
"yes."
After Yan Fuguang finished speaking, Lu Qing staggered.
He simply changed the umbrella to his left hand, hugged Lu Qing with his right hand, and held the umbrella in this relatively awkward position.
"Be careful."
Lu Qing pressed close to him to the left and responded to him excitedly: "Yeah!"
