Concubine in power

"Mosquito coil?" Wanyue blinked, not understanding what Lu Zhiyao meant. "You don't want to light a lamp to cook her clothes, do you? She told you to do the laundry tomorrow morning?"

"No." Lu Zhiyao shook his head and said something that Wanyue couldn't figure out. "You just need to fetch it for me, and I will tell you the rest later."

When Lu Zhiyao said this, Wanyue exuded a kind of self-confidence that Wanyue didn't want to refuse. Wanyue frowned and thought for a while before finally nodding her head and agreeing to Lu Zhiyao's request.

Lu Zhiyao waited for Wanyue to take some mosquito coils and let her go. After working alone in the house for a long time, Lu Zhiyao walked out of the room slowly, and threw the things in his hands into the basin with soaking clothes.After dawn the next day, Lu Zhiyao slept and ate enough, washed his clothes and hung up a yard full of them, admiring his masterpiece in a good mood.

Lu Zhiyao should have thought a long time ago that as long as she didn't die for a day, there would be someone in the prime minister's mansion who would not let her stop.Sure enough, after she finished washing her clothes and hadn't rested for a long time, Lu Zhiqing swaggered and brought people over.

"Yo, this wash is quite fast." Lu Zhiqing looked at Lu Zhiyao with a sneer, and said, "Okay, go back to my place and take Yuechan's clothes to wash."

"Miss, how did this happen? Yuechan can't bear it." Yuechan pretended to reject Lu Zhiqing's proposal, "How dare the servant let Miss's elder sister wash the laundry for the servant?"

"My sister?" Lu Zhiqing sneered, turned her head and said to Yuechan: "Don't be ridiculous, it's not certain if she is my father's daughter, I dare not recognize this sister easily."

The two master and servant sang together, just because of what Lu Zhiyao said to Yuechan yesterday.Lu Zhiyao saw Lu Zhiqing venting his anger on behalf of the servants so arrogantly, she endured it silently without saying anything, which made Lu Zhiqing even more proud.

"It's such a good day, it's a waste not to go out for a walk. Yuechan, let's go, there is too much bad luck in this room, I will feel uncomfortable."

"Miss said, the smell of mold in this room is really unbearable." Yuechan helped Lu Zhiqing walk out the door, but after walking out of the room, Lu Zhiqing suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Lu Zhiqing looked at Lu Zhiyao with a "kind heart", and said flatteringly, "You haven't walked around the house for a long time, right? Do you want me to take you around?"

"Okay, then I would like to thank my sister." Lu Zhiyao knew that Lu Zhiqing's invitation would definitely not do anything good.But she agreed without hesitation, because it was something she wanted to do to be able to walk around the Prime Minister's Mansion during the day.

Lu Zhiqing and Yuechan walked in front, and Lu Zhiyao followed behind them.If someone didn't know, it's very likely that Lu Zhiqing and Yuechan are their masters, and Lu Zhiyao is their slave.Because even Yuechan's clothes were better than those worn by Lu Zhiyao.

The two in front were chatting and laughing, and from time to time they satirized Lu Zhiyao behind.Lu Zhiqing didn't stop until several people appeared in front of him.

Lu Zhiqing stood up straight, staring nervously at the slowly approaching person, and Lu Zhiyao behind her also stared at that person intently.It's just that the emotions in the eyes of the two are completely different.

Lu Zhiyao never expected that in just a few days, he would have the opportunity to meet Lin Yixiang twice in a row.Lu Zhiyao had previously overheard the conversation between Xia Zhenkun and Xia Tian, ​​which was about Lin Yixiang.Lin Yixiang belongs to the prince's faction, and his Xia family used to be the prince's confidants and supporters.So at that time, Lu Zhiyao still couldn't understand why their family and Lin Yixiang worked for the same master, but his father always opposed her being with Lin Yixiang.Presumably, Dad has seen through Lin Yixiang a long time ago, so he is worried about her future.

Prime Minister Lu Yuanzheng, although he holds a high position in the court, has never heard of any contact with the crown prince.Now that Lin Yixiang has come to the prime minister's mansion again and again, could it be that he wants to win over Lu Yuanzheng?The Xia family is gone, and the prince now needs other helpers to stabilize his position as the crown prince.And this prime minister, without exception, is the best candidate.

Lu Yuanzheng listened to Lin Yixiang's words with a serious expression, and after seeing Lu Zhiyao and Lu Zhiqing, Lu Yuanzheng couldn't help being stunned.Because it is rare for these two daughters to be together so peacefully, let alone take a walk.

"Father!" Lu Zhiqing smiled sweetly, and obediently called Lu Yuanzheng.But his eyes kept looking at Lin Yixiang who was beside Lu Yuanzheng from time to time.

Lin Yixiang has a handsome appearance, but his personality is as cold as ice.He once made most of the daughters in the capital who have not left the court secretly express their hearts, but he only fell in love with Xia Yao from the Xia family, and finally married Xia Yao as his wife.Now the Xia family has been wiped out, but it seems that Xia Yao was secretly released by Lin Yixiang.Lin Yixiang's sincerity towards Xia Yao made many people jealous, of course, including Lu Zhiqing.

"These two are the prime minister's daughters?" Lin Yixiang naturally saw Lu Zhiqing's fiery gaze.And Lu Zhiyao's gloomy gaze also made Lin Yixiang very concerned. "Who's that in the back?"

"That's the old man's eldest daughter." Lu Yuanzheng replied reluctantly.

"Oh? She is Lu Zhiyao?" Lin Yixiang was quite surprised, because he had heard of Lu Zhiyao's name before.It seems that Lu Zhiyao is really mentally abnormal, otherwise how could he have the guts to look at him like this when meeting him for the first time?

Listening to Lin Yixiang's words, Lu Zhiyao wished she could rush over and tear off the mask on his face, and then kill him to avenge her parents and family under the nine springs!However, she was not sure if she would be able to beat Lin Yixiang if she took the shot now.

On the wedding night, it was the first time Lu Zhiyao saw Lin Yixiang make a move.Although her strength has weakened after drinking, Lu Zhiyao still dare not ignore Lin Yixiang's martial arts easily.

Lin Yixiang and Lu Yuanzheng left without staying too long.Lu Zhiqing's gaze fell on Lin Yixiang's back all the time, until he could no longer be seen, and finally retracted it.Also forgetting about Lu Zhiyao behind her, Lu Zhiqing excitedly dragged Yuechan and ran to Ye Lianrong's other courtyard.

"What's the matter?" Ye Lianrong looked at the panting Lu Zhiqing, put down the jade bracelet she was looking at, and asked in confusion.

"Mother, I have something to ask you!" Lu Zhiqing called the maid out of the house, and after closing the door, asked in a low voice: "I saw the Seventh Prince again just now, why did he come to our house?"

How could her daughter's little thoughts escape Ye Lianrong's eyes?Ye Lianrong smiled softly, hit Lu Zhiqing and said, "I didn't come here for you, so you should give up on it."

"Mother!" Lu Zhiqing shook Ye Lianrong's arm coquettishly, "Daughter told you to be serious!"

"The Seventh Prince came to see your father, so there is naturally something they want to talk about. Mother doesn't know too much, but I heard that the prince seems to want to win over your father on purpose." Ye Lianrong said, with a trace of worry on her face. , Lu Zhiqing was very puzzled.

"It's a good thing that the prince is looking for my father! The prince will be the emperor in the future. If my father agrees, then the status will naturally be higher in the future!"

"You child, how can things be as simple as you think?" Ye Lianrong shook her head helplessly, and said: "The prince is so anxious to win people's hearts, naturally there are reasons for him. You must know that many ministers in the court He has always been unfavorable to the prince. Those old ministers once supported the eighth prince as the prince, and although the emperor did not agree, the eighth prince's reputation is still very high."

"Eighth prince?" Lu Zhiqing thought for a while, but still didn't understand. "Isn't the Eighth Prince the younger brother of the Seventh Prince? That Lin Yinan and the Seventh Prince are clearly brothers, so why are they not of the same mind? What can he do as a sick child? Maybe he will die someday! There is nothing wrong with it!"

"These things are not for us women to discuss." Ye Lianrong changed the subject, pointed to a few bracelets on the table, and said, "Look, these are bought by my mother from other places just now, are you here?" like?"

"Mother, let's not talk about this first." Lu Zhiqing was uncharacteristically, not even looking at those good things.If this was normal, even if Ye Lianrong didn't say anything, she might have snatched it all away. "Mother, can you persuade father to let him agree to the crown prince?"

"why?"

"I... oh, don't you know what my daughter is thinking?! Then Xia Yao has long since disappeared!" Lu Zhiqing stomped her feet and said with determination: "My daughter will not marry anyone except the seventh prince! I don't care Mother, you must help me this time! Otherwise, I will ask my uncle for help!"

"Don't be ashamed!" Ye Lianrong scolded Lu Zhiqing in a low voice, "If you dare to tell your uncle about this, I'll see if I will punish you!"

"If you don't help me, why don't you let me think of other ways? Mother, when the crown prince ascends the throne, the Seventh Prince will naturally be a highly respected prince. When the time comes for my daughter to become a princess, won't it be that the popular and hot drinker will have nothing to worry about for the rest of his life?" Mother, can you just help your daughter? This is a lifelong event for your daughter, don't you have the heart to let her marry those vulgar playboys?"

Lu Zhiqing revealed her true feelings, which made Ye Lianrong very embarrassed.She shouldn't be involved in court affairs, but her daughter's lifelong happiness is indeed a big deal.The members of the Xia family were long dead, Xia Yao didn't know where to go, and the Seventh Prince was old enough to marry a wife and have children, so there must be someone around him.If she can really marry her daughter to the Seventh Prince, then as Qing'er said, their Xiangfu will definitely be different from now.

"Don't worry about this. I'll talk to your father later, but don't have too much hope. You know your father. He has always been neutral and won't help anyone. I want him to just stand like this." It's not easy for the prince."
