Concubine, please respect yourself

Chapter 319
Since the war between Dongying and Jinqi, the people in Beijing and China are in panic, and the prosperous scene of the past is no longer there.

The Lantern Festival has not yet come out, but the taste of the New Year has faded away with the wind. The entire Beijing Central Street is sparsely populated and there are no vendors. It looks extremely lonely and desolate.

In front of Duke Lu's mansion, a stone blue carriage stopped.

The wheels of the car came to a complete stop, A Lu hurried forward and lifted the curtain, "Grandpa, are you in court?"

Lu Jinyan hummed lightly, and walked out of the carriage with a tired expression.

His face was dignified, his brows were tightly knit together, as if he was hiding something distressing.

Ah Lu has a sharp eye, seeing that his father-in-law's expression is not right, he hurriedly stepped forward and said worriedly, "Your father-in-law has not had a good rest these days? Why don't you let the small kitchen serve a bowl of ginseng soup for nourishment? "

Lu Jinyan sighed and waved his hands, "It's okay, I'll be fine after lunch later." He just took two steps forward with his hands behind his back, and seemed to remember something, so he came back and explained to Alu carefully, "You must never tell Fourth Lady about this!"

A Lu thought that the father-in-law was worried that the young lady would find out about this matter, and was about to nod his head in response, but heard a suspicious female voice, "What can't you tell me?"

Lu Ziyu came out from the door wearing a brocade cloak with a plum pattern. She was dressed heavily, as if she was about to go out to work.

Lu Jinyan's spirit shook, he suppressed the tired look on his face, and straightened his waist again, pretending to be refreshed.

"Why, are you going out of the house?"

Lu Ziyu walked quickly to his father's side, smiled coquettishly and met each other, "Third Brother has been running to the Mu Mansion for the past few days, no one has checked Mu Cangzhai's accounts, so I don't want my daughter to go and have a look!"

Since their family excited the rogue monkey at the New Year's Eve dinner, the effect was really immediate.

However, in eleven or twelve days, the number of jumps to Mu's mansion was no less than dozens of times.

Either send fried coke rings, fried oil ghosts, and fried triangles in the past today, or send sauced duck, sauced elbow, and sauced beef tomorrow.After all, the Mu family is also a big family of four families, how could they not be prepared for these new year's goods?

However, Lu Zhichen blatantly deceived his daughter under the banner of delivering New Year's goods.
Mu Qingyun can also see that Lu Zhichen treats his daughter sincerely, and this is not easy to stop, turning a blind eye will make people visit the house every day.

As the saying goes: When a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she looks at her, the more pleasing she is!

What's more, Mu Qingyun also knows very well what kind of temper her daughter has, and she is like a hot potato at home. Which serious son of a family dares to take over?
Once Mu Qingyun was worried about Su Wanwan's marriage, and he was afraid that no one would be able to subdue this King of Hades.

Fortunately, God opened my eyes, there is a man with outstanding family, handsome appearance and good temper who can take this hot potato away
Although half of Lu Zhichen's visit to Mu's mansion was done on his own initiative, the other half was also invited by Mu Qingyun.

Normally, when Lu Jinyan heard Lu Zhichen these trifles, he would have asked many questions, but now he looked dodged, absent-mindedly hummed, and was about to lift his robe and walk in towards the gate of the mansion.

Lu Ziyu narrowed his eyes suspiciously, stepped forward to stop him, "What's the matter with father? But he's not feeling well?"

"It's too cold outside, because my father wants to go back to the house to keep warm." Lu Jinyan lied solemnly, but he couldn't help pinching the belt of the court robe with his fingers, "If you have something to do, you should go to work first."

After all, he just wanted to walk away.

Having been an official for many years, he can tell big lies in front of others, but he can't even hide his emotions well in front of his family.

Lu Ziyu already felt that something was wrong with his father going back to the palace these few days.Today, seeing someone ambiguous in front of her, as if deliberately concealing something, the doubts in my heart became even more aggravated.

"Si Niang hasn't had a long talk with her father for a long time, so why not make some tea today and have a chat."

As soon as the words fell, Lu Ziyu took his father's arm affectionately, and dragged him towards the study
Pushing open the door, Lu Ziyu pressed Lu Jinyan on the chair, and said straight to the point, "Tell me, you have been so preoccupied these days, what is the reason?"

Lu Jinyan cleared his throat, and asked pretending to be puzzled, "Why are you so preoccupied? It's not easy being a father, and even your bones are much lighter after being nursed by your sister-in-law's daily vegetarian soup."

Lu Ziyu didn't say a word, and looked at him with beautiful eyes smiling, as if he could see through people's minds.

The two stalemate in the room for a while, and finally Lu Jinyan lost his temper.

He knows very well that his daughter Hui has a heart and a heart, and sometimes she is more sophisticated than himself in judging people and things.

It seems that if he doesn't speak out what's in his heart today, he won't be able to step over the threshold of this study.
Lu Jinyan let go of the calm and breezy appearance just now, and said with a deep breath, "Forget it, as a father, I know that I can't hide it from you. Even if you don't know it now, you will definitely notice it in the future." He took out two teas from the tea tray. Picking up a teacup, he raised his hand to fill up the tea soup, "You also know that the sage and the dragon are not in good health, and the affairs of the court will be taken care of by the queen for the time being."

"Isn't the Queen Wang's temporary management of the court also ordered by the sage?"

"Although the words are true, but my father always feels that there is something wrong." Lu Jinyan took a sip of tea and said hesitantly, "Today in the court hall, several ministers like Zuo and I made admonishment to the Queen, asking whether it is okay or not. I went to Zhaohui Pavilion to visit the saint. First, I wanted to see if the saint’s dragon body had improved. Second, I had to report the military salary in detail for the recent battles in southern Xinjiang, but the king and queen "

Lu Jinyan didn't continue, heaved a deep sigh in all kinds of melancholy.

Lu Ziyu's beautiful eyes narrowed, "The Queen is unwilling?"

"It's not just that she doesn't want to! She refused me in the hall, and she didn't show me any mercy. It's like" Lu Jinyan lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment before saying, "It's like treating herself as the master on the dragon chair. Kill decisively!"

"Even these days in the court hall, the fourth prince is always defending the king and queen, as if he received the imperial edict from her words."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Ziyu gasped, obviously aware of something in his heart.

Now that the queen mother has passed away, the power in the harem is monopolized by the king and queen. No one can know what the saint looks like in the harem except the queen!

My grandfather is fighting in southern Xinjiang, so he can't care about the muddy water in Beijing.

If Queen Wang and Yingqi jointly seize power, it is not impossible to put Emperor Zhao under house arrest in the harem.

But Lu Ziyu still didn't understand why the Queen Wang had to seek peace and usurp power with that treacherous villain Yingqi.How much affection can a mother and son have when they are halfway there?
Besides, Empress Wang is a girl from the Wang family, so it's fine if she doesn't help the Wang family, after all, she has her own son who can support her, so why did she secretly collude with Yingqi?

Could it be that there is something hidden in it?
