Chapter 164 Pleading
Mrs. Ye curled her lips and said angrily: "Auntie, is it because I have an unstable temper? It's because that old woman is too irritating.
Even if our Ziqin is weak and unable to inherit the title of the Duke of Guo.
Then Dingkun’s son should inherit, why should he adopt the second wife?
Not only is the old woman not a thing, but the Duke is not a person either. He doesn't look like the head of the family. "
Madam Qin lowered her face and said, "Shan'er, be careful what you say! Just vent your words at home. If you dare to speak so openly outside, watch your skin carefully."
Mrs. Ye lowered her head and remained silent.
Old Man Qin sighed and softened his tone, "What they did is irritating, but Yang, as Dingkun's mother, is your elder. What's the use of being angry? How many times have I told you that when something happens, , you have to use your brain, not your temper.”
Old Madam Qin pointed to her head.
“You’re so angry that you want to beat someone up, how can you think of using your brain?” Mrs. Ye muttered.
Mrs. Qin sighed again and said, "You, should I say your life is bad? Or should I say your life is good?"
Mrs. Ye said angrily: "How can a mother-in-law like me have such a good life?"
Mrs. Qin smiled bitterly and said, "It is your fate to meet a mother-in-law like Yang.
But if you give birth to a son like Ziqin, your life will be better.
You think about it, in the past few years, when the Yang family has made things difficult for you, when has it not been Ziqin who helped you think of ways to avert disaster? "
Mrs. Ye smiled and nodded, "Yes, my father often said that my life was good when he was still alive."
Mrs. Qin ignored Mrs. Ye and turned to ask Lu Ziqin, "What do you mean, Ziqin, don't ignore this matter?"
Lu Ziqin nodded, "Don't pay attention to it. To the outside world, just say that grandma is not in good health and that mother lives here to take care of her illness. My grandson goes to Dr. Hu's place to say hello and ask him not to leak grandma's pulse."
Mrs. Qin nodded, "Well, that's good. Our family is in the period of filial piety, and everyone from top to bottom lives in seclusion."
Mrs. Ye asked: "Have the arrangements been made at Ci'en Temple?"
Lu Ziqin nodded and said: "It has been arranged. We will go there early the next day, do a ritual in the morning, fast in the temple at noon, and come back in the afternoon."
Mrs. Qin nodded and said, "Okay, that's settled. You guys have been tired for a long day, so go back and have a rest."
Mrs. Ye and Lu Ziqin stood up to say goodbye.
Early on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, Lu Ziqin helped Mr. Qin into the car and was about to get in. The servant hurried over and said, "Sixth Master, Eunuch Lu from the palace is here. He is in the reception room now."
Lu Ziqin was startled. Eunuch Lu was the **** beside Eunuch Gao. Why did he come here so early in the morning?
Lu Ziqin walked to Old Man Qin's car, leaned down and said, "Grandma, someone is coming from the palace. My grandson will have to stay for a while."
Mrs. Qin was stunned and asked, "So early? Who is here?"
Lu Ziqin replied: "It's Lu An from Eunuch Gao's side."
"People around Eunuch Gao? Go quickly." Mrs. Qin urged.
Lv Ziqin went to the reception room to pay homage to Eunuch Lu.
Eunuch Lu bowed and returned the greeting, then said, "Your Majesty summoned Mr. Six and asked our family to come and pass the news."
After hearing this, Lu Ziqin leaned forward and said, "Thank you, father-in-law. Please go down and tell my grandmother, and then follow your father-in-law into the palace."
Eunuch Lu nodded, "Okay, our family will wait here. Mr. Six, please excuse me."
Lu Ziqin returned to the carriage and reported the matter to Mrs. Qin.
Mrs. Qin said: "Go ahead. Just let Rumin follow us."
Lu Ziqin said apologetically: "Let Ruji and Ruji follow you to the temple. My grandson has finished his work and will pick up his grandmother when the time comes."
Mrs. Qin said: "Your Majesty's business is important. You go and do your work. Don't worry about us. Just have Rujin and the others here."
Seeing that Mrs. Ye had not left for a long time, she stuck her head out and asked, "Ziqin, why don't you leave yet?"
Lv Ziqin replied: "Let's set off immediately."
After saying that, Lu Ziqin ordered Ruji Ruju to take care of everyone.
Rumo was next to Mrs. Ye's car. After hearing her son's words, Mrs. Ye hurriedly raised the curtain and asked, "Ziqin, won't you come with us?"
Lu Ziqin explained: "Eunuch Lu from the palace is here, and the emperor has summoned me. I have to go to the palace."
Mrs. Ye suddenly felt ill, but the emperor had called and she could not disobey. She could only sigh resignedly and asked, "Do you know what's going on?"
Seeing his mother's face sinking, Lu Ziqin felt even more apologetic, and shook his head, "I don't know, Eunuch Lu didn't say anything."
Mrs. Ye didn't hesitate to ask more questions and said, "Don't worry, I understand."
Lu Ziqin told Ru Jin, "Let's set off."
Watching the car go out, Lu Ziqin took Ru Xuan and followed Eunuch Lu into the palace.
Arrived at the gate of the palace, Ruxuan stayed behind, while Lu Ziqin followed Eunuch Lu and walked inside.
Lu Ziqin saw Eunuch Lu taking him to the Yangxin Hall and asked, "Your Majesty, are you resting in the Yangxin Hall?"
Eunuch Lu replied: "Yes, these days, except for the third day of the lunar month, the emperor rests in Yongning Palace, and the rest of the days he rests in Yangxin Palace."
Yongning Palace is the residence of my aunt, Concubine De. After hearing this, Lu Ziqin stopped talking.
Arriving at the entrance of Yangxin Hall, Eunuch Lu stopped and leaned over and said, "Master Six, please wait a moment."
Lu Ziqin leaned forward and said, "Okay, thank you, father-in-law."
After Eunuch Lu entered, Eunuch Gao personally came out to welcome him after a while. He cupped his hands towards Lu Ziqin and said, "Sixth Young Master is here?"
Lv Ziqin bowed to Eunuch Gao and said, "Happy New Year, Eunuch Gao!"
Eunuch Gao cupped his hands and said hello. He approached Lu Ziqin and whispered: "Sixth Young Master is coming with our family."
Lu Ziqin leaned forward and followed Eunuch Gao, half a step behind Eunuch Gao as he walked in.
Eunuch Gao said as he walked: "The emperor drank the soothing soup and just took a rest."
Lu Ziqin turned his head and looked at Eunuch Gao in surprise, and asked in shock: "Did you have a good night's sleep?"
Eunuch Gao nodded, "Well, the Emperor has been sleeping poorly for some time, and it has become more serious recently. He didn't sleep for the entire night for two days a year ago.
Last night, I took a break at the right time and woke up within the time of a stick of incense. After waking up, I never closed my eyes again. I talked to our family all night, saying that I haven’t seen you in a while and asked Lu An to tell you. Enter the palace.
Physician Hu came to ask the emperor for a safe pulse in the morning. When he learned that the emperor had not slept at night, he said that this was not possible and asked the emperor to take some calming soup.
The emperor took a rest after taking the soothing soup. "
Lu Ziqin nodded and followed Eunuch Gao to the side hall.
After the waiter served tea and left, Eunuch Gao said, "Sixth Young Master, please have tea."
Lu Ziqin bowed and thanked him, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.
Eunuch Gao waited for Lu Ziqin to put down the cup and asked, "I heard from Dr. Hu that Mrs. Qin, the Duke of Chengguo, didn't sleep much before?"
Lv Ziqin nodded, "Yes, grandma's sleep has not been good before."
Eunuch Gao asked anxiously: "May I ask, Mr. Six, what recipe was used to restore the old lady's body? The emperor's dragon body is related to the country, the country, and the country. Can you try the recipe that the old lady used on the emperor?" ?”
Lv Ziqin understood what Eunuch Gao meant, but he had no idea.
I had no choice but to lean down and say truthfully: "I have a friend who understands medicine. I told her about my grandmother's symptoms, and she gave me some health-preserving elixirs.
Grandma’s symptoms of insomnia improved after taking the elixir. "
Eunuch Gao looked at Lu Ziqin expectantly, "May I ask, Mr. Six, where is your friend now?"
Lu Ziqin leaned forward and said, "Zi Qin met her in Shicheng. Zi Qin doesn't know where she is now."
Lu Ziqin didn't know where Gu Huayu was now, so he didn't dare to say anything.
Eunuch Gao thought he was in the capital, but when he heard that he was in Shicheng, he was a little disappointed. Then he asked: "I wonder if the elixir used by the old lady is still there? Can you give it to the emperor evenly?"
“I’m so sorry, my grandmother finished taking the elixir a year ago.” Lu Ziqin leaned back and replied.
This time, Eunuch Gao was really disappointed. But he still didn't give up and asked: "Sixth Young Master, does he know what medicine is contained in the elixir? Have you ever shown it to Dr. Hu?"
Over the years, Ye Shangshu and Mrs. Qin have been treated by Dr. Hu.
Lu Ziqin shook his head, "I don't understand medicine, so I can't tell what medicine is in the elixir. I haven't shown it to Dr. Hu either. I dare to give the elixir directly to my grandmother because of my trust in this friend."
Last time when I went back to Shicheng to do business, I was in an accident. It was this friend who saved me.
She is a life-saving grace for me. Therefore, the pill she gave me was not suspicious, so I did not show it to Dr. Hu. "
Eunuch Gao nodded, it was hard to ask again.
The little chamberlain came in and said, "Sir, the emperor is awake."
Eunuch Gao looked at the hourglass and shook his head with a sigh, "I only rested for most of an hour."
Eunuch Gao got up and went to Nuange and said to Lu Ziqin, "Sixth Young Master is waiting here."
Lu Ziqin stood up and bowed to Eunuch Gao: "Okay! I understand."
After Eunuch Gao left for a while, a young **** came in and reported: "Sixth Young Master, the emperor has announced."
Lü Ziqin followed the young chamberlain to the palace and knelt down to pay homage to the emperor.
The emperor said: "If you are flat, please give me a seat."
After thanking him, Lu Ziqin sat down and looked up to see the red bloodshot eyes and faint dark blue under his eyes, and his heart tightened.
The emperor noticed Lu Ziqin's worry and said with a fake smile: "We haven't seen each other for a few days, and it feels like Ziqin has grown taller again. Do you think so?"
The emperor looked at Eunuch Gao and asked.
Eunuch Gao looked at Lu Ziqin and looked at him, "The emperor can tell that he has grown taller."
On the first day of the new year, I only went to the palace to say hello. It only lasted about ten days. How could I have grown taller?
Although Lu Ziqin felt that the emperor was a bit exaggerated, he still thanked him.
The waiter served the tea. The emperor raised his hand and said, "Try the melon slices you like."
Lu Ziqin picked up the tea cup and took a sip, nodded and said: "The tea is fragrant and the tea soup is yellow-green and translucent. These are the best melon slices."
The emperor smiled and said to Mr. Gao: "Look at him like this. His eyes light up when he sees the good tea."
Eunuch Gao smiled and took over the words, "Sixth Young Master looks very much like the empress of the past..."
Before Gao Gonggong finished speaking, he realized that he had made a mistake. He hurriedly leaned forward and said, "Old slave, I made a mistake."
The emperor was in a trance, waved his hand and said: "Nothing, Ziqin is following Mrs. Ye, and he and Yi'er do have some similarities."
Lu Ziqin smiled apologetically and said, "Yes, people who have seen mother and empress say that they look very much like sisters, and I look like my mother. Does empress also like tea?"
"Yi'er, I'm just a tea fanatic..." When the Queen was mentioned, the Emperor's eyebrows softened, and his voice became gentler.
I don’t know that it was because Lu Ziqin and the queen were somewhat similar, so the emperor poured out the words he had been holding in his heart for many years.
Lu Ziqin listened quietly, nodding in response to the emperor from time to time.
When the emperor spoke about the queen, Eunuch Gao sent the servants out of the room and left him to wait in the room.
Until the emperor felt anxious, he stopped, turned to look at Eunuch Gao, and asked, "What time is it?"
Eunuch Gao leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, it's the end."
The emperor got up and went out to pay his respects. He said to Lu Ziqin, "Ziqin, stay and have dinner with me."
Lu Ziqin bowed to thank him.
The emperor said to Mr. Gao: "Instruct the imperial kitchen to cook some of Ziqin's favorite dishes."
It was common for Lu Ziqin to have meals with the emperor in the palace, and the imperial kitchen's preference for Lu Ziqin was also clear.
Eunuch Gao leaned forward and said, "Return to your Majesty, I have already ordered you to go down."
Lü Ziqin had a meal in the palace and drank tea with the emperor.
The emperor learned that Lu Ziqin knew how to order tea, and he asked Eunuch Gao to put out the tea set with great interest.
Lv Ziqin had no choice but to smile and agree.
On this day, the emperor was extremely happy. It was not until the end of the day that he felt sleepy and did not let Lu Ziqin leave the palace.
When Ruxuan saw Lu Ziqin coming out of the palace, he quickly pulled the carriage to greet him and said, "Sir, you finally came out. How is it? Are you okay?"
Lu Ziqin got on the carriage and said, "Well, it's okay. Let's listen to the emperor talk about some past events."
Ruxuan was waiting for Lu Ziqin to sit down and was about to drive the car when he saw Rumin riding a horse coming this way. Said: "Master, Rujin is here."
Lu Ziqin raised the curtain of the carriage and waited for Rumo to approach, and asked, "Are you all back?"
Ru Yan nodded, "Well, I'm back. Madam asked me to come over and take a look."
Lu Ziqin nodded, put down the curtain, and said, "Then go back home."
Ruxuan started the car, and Rujin followed on horseback.
Lv Ziqin asked: "How is it? Is everything going well?"
Ru Yan responded happily: "Well, it went very well."
Ruxuan turned his head to look at Rujin and said, "Look at how happy you are. What's wrong? Something good will happen today?"
Ru Yan raised his hand and touched his face, "Is it so? Is it so obvious?"
Ruxuan glanced at Rujin with disgust, "When did you ever restrain yourself? A face is like a barometer, with all the joy, anger, sorrow and joy on it. Tell me, what happened? It made you laugh so hard that it almost reached your ears. ”
Ru Yan was not angry at being eliminated by Ru Xuan, but instead laughed even more.
“Guess, who else went to Ci’en Temple to offer incense today?”
Ruxuan raised his hand and gave the horse a whip, turned his head to look at Ruji, and asked, "Who?"
Rujin glanced at the carriage and raised his eyebrows.
Ruxuan looked back at the carriage, then looked at Rumin's handsome appearance, and said, "Who? Miss Shi San?"
Rumo raised his thumb towards Ruxuan and said, "You're smart, you can guess right. Mrs. Ping and Miss Shi San are also going today."
After hearing what Ruji said, Lu Ziqin felt convinced that his mother had worked very hard for this marriage.
Lu Ziqin leaned on the soft couch, automatically blocking out the noise, thinking about Eunuch Gao's words.
Eunuch Gao sent him out of the Yangxin Palace and said to him sincerely before leaving, "Sixth Young Master, our family has served the emperor all our lives. Seeing the emperor unable to sleep at night, our family is anxious and heartbroken, but there is nothing we can do.
Look at the pill that the old lady took. Can you ask your friend for more? "
