The spring weather was just right, Lu Qing couldn't stay in the yard, and told Yan Fuguang that she was going out to meet Lin Shuxian.
Her reason was unacceptable: "It's too boring and I feel uncomfortable."
Nowadays, there is nothing more important than her. Even without the child, she feels uncomfortable. Yan Fuguang cannot keep her in the house.
But he also had his own concerns: "Do you want me to accompany you?"
Still uneasy about her going out alone, Yan Fuguang wanted to follow.
Lu Qing walked up behind him, put her hands on his shoulders, tilted her head with a smile and said, "Your Highness, you should go about your own business. You are just going to see Princess Qi."
Even without going to court, Yan Fuguang was not relaxed, and the things he needed to deal with every day would not decrease.
It's true that she relies on him a lot, but it doesn't mean that something will happen if she leaves him.
Lu Qing thought about it, pressed her fingers on the acupuncture points on Yan Fu's bald head, and said warmly: "You haven't had a good rest since you came back. If you don't have much to do today, just take a nap at noon. Can you pick me up at noon?"
Yan Fuguang raised her head, swept her face with gentle eyes, and responded softly: "Okay, follow my Zhenzhen's arrangements."
He held Lu Qing's wrist and asked her to go around and sit in his arms: "Didn't you ask me to come back and teach you how to fly a kite? Forgot?"
How could I forget? Lu Qing touched Yan Fuguang's chin and looked into his eyes: "I haven't forgotten, but it seems to be inconvenient now. With the baby in my belly, I can't move around at will..."
Sounding a little aggrieved, Yan Fuguang grabbed her fingers and kissed her carefully: "Then I will teach you after the child is born. We can have fun without the children."
Lu Qing gave a soft "hmm" and laughed again: "Then get busy, I will go to Prince Qi's Mansion soon."
He said he was about to leave, but he didn't get up from Yan Fuguang's lap. Yan Fuguang didn't rush him, he put his arm around Lu Qing and continued to read the official document in the other.
Lu Qing stayed sticky for a while and then left of her own accord. Before leaving, she kissed Yan Fuguang on the cheek and reminded him: "Remember to pick me up."
This level of clinginess is nothing to Yan Fuguang. If he wasn't afraid that Lu Qing wouldn't like her, he would follow her every step of the way if he had the chance.
"Okay, go ahead and be careful."
Yan Fuguang carried her out of Hemingyuan, and then gave instructions to the accompanying maids and guards. After explaining everything, he reluctantly returned to the study.
Lu Qing rode a carriage all the way to Prince Qi's Mansion, where Lin Shuxian was waiting very early.
"Why are you still coming out? Just ask the maid to lead me in." After getting off the carriage, Lu Qing was surprised to see Lin Shuxian standing here.
Lin Shuxian smiled and stepped forward to hold one of Lu Qing's hands and led her into the house: "I just came out to wait for you when I had nothing to do." In fact, she knew that Lu Qing was pregnant, so she kept worrying about people staring at her all the time.
Nowadays, Prince Qi's Mansion is different from before. There are many more women with different thoughts. Lin Shuxian has to be on guard. She doesn't want Lu Qing to be harmed by these people.
As they walked inside, the two of them talked.
"Three months? Is the child making trouble?"
"Just a few days after turning three months old, the child is very well-behaved and doesn't bother me."
"I see you look really good..."
Before she could sit down in Lin Shuxian's yard, the maid came to report: "Master, Concubine Zhao said she is not feeling well and wants to ask the government doctor to take a look."
Prince Qi's Mansion is different from the Prince's Mansion, and Lin Shuxian is not as unprestige as Ning Huayue. Lin Shuxian is in charge of every aspect of the mansion, and everything must go through her.
The concubine wanted to hire a doctor, but she was informed that she would ask the princess to get her permission.
Lin Shuxian was disgusted with Zhao Ruoling's behavior of trying to make his presence known from time to time. She said with a cold face: "Didn't I tell you before? Today is not a big deal, so don't bother me with it."
The maid said uneasily: "It was someone from Concubine Zhao who came to our yard and said..."
Lin Shuxian didn't want to take care of it, but Lu Qing tugged on her sleeve and said softly: "Why don't you let someone go take a look? Anyway, the government doctor will go there, and we won't go."
What she was afraid of was that Lin Shuxian would be careless and Zhao Ruoling would seize the opportunity to throw dirty water on her. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst, especially Lin Shuxian's current situation is very difficult. She is being stared at by countless people, and others are eager for her to make a mistake quickly so that they can take the opportunity to let King Qi out.
Lin Shuxian listened to Lu Qing's words and told the maid: "That's all, let the doctor go and give her some more medicine to drink. She will get better quickly."
She grew up in a simple living environment, her father did not take concubines at home, and the family had a good relationship.
She didn't have much emotion when she married Yan Changfeng at first. After all, Yan Changfeng was her only husband at that time, and Concubine Chen was still kind to her.
I don't want a lot of things to change after she adjusts to married life. Lin Shuxian doesn't like the fact that many women are just right now and stare at Yan Changfeng with eager eyes. She doesn't like dealing with the messy and trivial matters in the house. She doesn't like dealing with these women who come in one after another to compete with her for favor...
She doesn't even like the identity of Princess Qi anymore.
Lu Qing saw her feeling depressed for a moment, and hugged Lin Shuxian at a loss: "Are you unhappy?"
"I'm really tired of this kind of life." Lin Shuxian smiled bitterly and endearingly. She couldn't tell the truth in front of Yan Changfeng. She wanted to tell Lu Qing, "I thought that as long as he and I still like each other, no other No one between us will be an obstacle to us, but I seem to think too highly of myself, and I don’t even have the strength to deal with them."
She could no longer summon the energy to communicate with Yan Changfeng. Every day when he came back from work, the two of them had dinner quietly, and then rested with their own thoughts.
They are still husband and wife, and they still like each other, but they just can't go back to the past.
Lu Qing felt sorry for her, but there was nothing she could do. Because these women will not disappear out of thin air, Concubine Chen's dissatisfaction with Lin Shuxian will not diminish unless Yan Changfeng is determined to take Lin Shuxian to escape from such a life.
But, is Yan Changfeng willing to let Concubine Chen go? Lu Qing shook her head silently in her heart.
Concubine Chen forced Yan Changfeng to take a concubine at the risk of death. If he agreed, would he still give up his mother-son relationship with Concubine Chen for Lin Shuxian? Maybe not.
No one has any position or reason to criticize Yan Changfeng's choice. In today's world, filial piety can overwhelm a person. What's more, Yan Changfeng has been dependent on Concubine Chen since he was a child. For him, Concubine Chen and Lin Shuxian are his most important people.
But if this is the case, Lin Shuxian will have to endure more.
"I can't interfere in your lives, but I hope you can be happy." Lu Qing wiped away Lin Shuxian's tears, "When you are upset, go out for a walk to relax. As long as you don't have any big problems with Concubine Zhao and the others, It's okay if it's their fault, don't worry about it, just let them make trouble. If you don't want to take care of it, just leave it to King Qi, why should you bear these troubles alone?"
Although King Qi is in trouble, is he just ignoring things?
He did not adjust the tense relationship between Concubine Chen and Lin Shuxian, did not care about Lin Shuxian's suffering in the backyard, did not make appropriate arrangements for the women in the backyard, and allowed everything to develop freely.
Is he right?
