Chapter 153 I won't lose my temper
In the imperial city, Concubine Duan has been feeling uneasy these days.

Seeing the young palace maid lead Madam Jiang into the main hall, Concubine Duan hurriedly went to greet her. Without waiting for her mother to catch her breath, she said angrily, "How dare that evil creature born by Wang commit such a heinous crime in Qianzhou."

Mrs. Jiang was no calmer than her daughter. She sat in the armchair and drank several sips of herbal tea before she could suppress the rage in her heart: "It's all because of your playboy father."

"Mother, now is not the time to be angry."

Concubine Duan managed to calm herself down and sat down in front of her mother. "Those who had their land seized by Jiang You have already poured into the capital. I heard there are six or seven hundred of them. The gate of the Dali Temple has been completely blocked. It won't be long before the news reaches your Majesty's ears."

Before Concubine Duan could finish, Madam Jiang slammed the table in anger and said, "It's all because of your playboy father. That bitch Wang couldn't give birth to a good child. The innocence of our Jiang family was completely destroyed by the evil deeds of this bitch."

Mrs. Jiang gnashed her teeth in anger: "I really want to tear this mother and son apart with my bare hands."

"Mother, what's the point of being so angry right now?" Concubine Duan was also very angry, and she said, "You should have listened to my advice and kept Wang under your nose. Now you are fine, right? You let them cause such a big disaster in Qianzhou. After all, they are my father's bloodline, so we will suffer with them."

Then he asked Mrs. Jiang anxiously, "Does father have any solution?"

Madam Jiang said angrily, "How would I know this? I have been taking care of him all my life. It would be fine if he kept a mistress outside without my knowledge, but he actually let that mother and son do such a shameful thing. From now on, I will only take care of myself, and I will not care about his affairs at all."

"Is mother so angry that she is confused?" Concubine Duan said hurriedly, "This is not just father's problem. This matter involves the entire Jiang family. If something goes wrong, I am afraid that my son and I will both be ruined by it."

Mrs. Jiang suppressed her temper and asked her daughter, "Can it be that serious?"

Concubine Duan said, "Your Majesty hates corruption the most. Father has always been cautious, but he allowed his son to do evil. Now I don't know how many evil things that evildoer has done. If it's too much, the saint will naturally be angry."

When this was mentioned, Concubine Duan couldn't help but get angry: "The Saint is suspicious. The incident at the last festival has already made him suspicious of the prince. If he gets involved in other things again, we mother and son will definitely be disliked by the Saint."

Thinking of the cold-bloodedness of her husband, the emperor, Concubine Duan couldn't help but feel frightened: "Mother, this is not the time to be angry. Please ask father to find a way to suppress this matter quickly."

Spring has arrived and the weather is getting warmer day by day.

Lu Ji is engaged to Wang Fengyi. Concubine Shu asked the emperor for grace and asked her brother to bring the newlyweds into the palace. Today is the day when Lu Ji brings his fiancée to the palace to meet him.

Concubine Shu got up early that day and personally directed the maids in the palace to busy themselves with receiving guests.

Lu Ji had a day off today, and he had spent the whole night partying with the little woman last night, so he got up half an hour later than usual.

It was just getting light in the sky, and the little woman was still immersed in a sweet dream. He tiptoed, put on his clothes and went to the outer room.

The maid replied that Desheng was waiting outside for a reply. Lu Ji called him in and asked him casually while putting on his clothes, "What's the matter?"

Desheng subconsciously glanced towards the inner room and replied in a low voice: "Have you forgotten, my lord? Today is the day you and Miss Wang will go to the palace to see Concubine Shu."

I really forgot and have no impression at all.

Seeing this, Desheng hurriedly said, "The date of the first row in the palace cannot be changed. The carriage and horses are ready, and someone has been sent to pick up the cousin."

Lu Ji said "hmm" lightly and said nothing more.

Desheng left, and Lu Ji leaned on the couch in the outer room, still flipping through the book in his hand, but he couldn't read a single word and felt very upset.

He stood up again, went back to the inner room, gently pushed open the door, and saw that the little person on the bed was still sleeping. Lu Ji sighed slightly and withdrew.

I stood at the window and looked out aimlessly for a long time.

I still feel uneasy.

He simply took the blue steel sword from the wall and strode outside. After practicing a set of sword skills, he was sweating profusely, and his restless heart was slightly relieved. The maidservant beside him handed him a towel, but the man did not take it. He strode back into the house with the sword in hand.

Lu Ji ran into Song Zhi who was about to carry water to the main house and asked, "Is she awake?"

Songzhi nodded, and Lu Ji took the basin from her hand and stepped into the inner room.

The little girl had just woken up. She saw Lu Ji personally carrying toiletries in her sleepy eyes. She smiled and joked, "How can we trouble the prince to serve me?"

Lu Ji looked at the bed. Behind the gauze curtains, the little girl's figure was dim, looking at him.

Lu Ji put down the basin, walked to the bed, stretched out his hand to pull up the bed curtain, lowered his eyes and stared at her and asked, "Did you sleep well?"

The tone was calm and there was nothing unusual about it.

The little girl frowned when she heard that, raised her eyes to look at him and asked, "What happened?"

She could always see through his heart.

The man sat down beside her and said, "I'm going to the palace today."

The little girl frowned and listened to him continue.

The man's lips moved several times, but he still found it difficult to speak.

Qin Xiaoning reacted to Lu Ji's difficult expression and asked him, "Are you going to meet the Concubine Shu with Miss Wang, right?"

She guessed it right again.

Lu Ji looked up at her, then lowered his head again, looking listless, like a child who had done something wrong.

"May I?"

After a long while, he asked this question with difficulty.

Asking for her opinion?
It is a big deal for foreign officials to come to the palace to meet the emperor. It must be approved by the emperor. The inner court will make careful arrangements and even keep records.

Such a big thing should be discussed with her. She can handle it.

Besides, the cousin of the Wang family is Lu Ji's legitimate fiancée and the future mistress of the house. How can she, a little concubine, control her relationship with her master?

The little girl just felt that the relationship between the three of them was really confusing at the moment.

Glancing at Lu Ji's embarrassed expression, the little girl cleared her throat, and when she spoke again, her voice was clear.

"Why not? You are the only brother of Concubine Shu. She must be worried if she can't go back to see you in person for such a big event as your engagement. Now that the inner court has made all the arrangements, you should go there with your new bride."

She said something, but Lu Ji still kept his head down and didn't respond at all.

The little girl thought for a moment, then continued, "Are you afraid that I'll be unhappy?"

Only then did Lu Ji raise his head and look at the little girl on the bed with a dejected expression.

Qin Xiaoning said solemnly: "I won't be unhappy."

Afraid that she wouldn't believe it, she smiled at the man and said, "Since I came to the mansion, you have taught me to read and write. After all, I am a woman who has read many books of sages. I will not be ignorant of the general situation, and I will not lose my temper with you because of this matter without knowing the seriousness of the matter."
