Lu Qipei didn't know what he said wrong, and once again made the emperor unhappy, this time he was directly kicked out from the Xuanshi Palace.
As she stepped out of the palace gate in the setting sun, she glanced back, and could vaguely see a corner of the majestic roof of Xuan Shi Hall. She looked at the palace and sighed deeply, her beautiful brows slightly frowned—she had met this majesty more than two times in the past and present. People who clearly admired her in the past, how come they can't look down on her again and again? !
Sure enough, Qi Yang was the only one who treated her as always in this world, and even Qi Bo had changed.
Thinking like this, Lu Qipei didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and finally stepped out of the palace gate with doubts. At this time, it was too early for the next hour, so she simply did not return to the Hanlin Academy, and walked straight to the house, reflecting on herself as she walked.
By the time Lu Qipei walked home, it was already dark. What she didn't expect was that as soon as she stepped into the house, she was grabbed by Qi Bo, who hurriedly said: "Master, why are you only coming back now?!"
Lu Qipei was stunned, rarely seeing Qi Bo in such a hurry: "What's the matter, what happened?"
Qi Bo dragged her to the front hall, and said as he walked, "Young master came back too late, and more than half an hour ago, people came from the front palace to pass the decree. Now people have been waiting in the front hall for a long time, if you don't come back, I don't know what to do next."
That being said, Lu Qipei clearly didn't see the panic in Qi Bo's eyes, his clear eyes were only vaguely excited. But at this moment, Lu Qipei didn't have time to investigate more. She was dragged to the front hall by Qi Bo, and her heart was like a drum for a moment.
If that's the case, what would make the emperor issue his decree at this time
The answer seems to be coming out, but Lu Qipei, who has been introspected all the way, is excited, and obviously has a sense of unreality.
Fortunately, this unreal feeling quickly disappeared, because she saw Zhang Jian in the front hall. The general manager of the Xuan Shi Palace actually came to announce the decree in person. This was a treatment that was not available to the champion of the previous life, and she was immediately flattered.
Zhang Jian was still smiling, and when he saw her, he said, "Lord Lu is back, let us wait."
Lu Qipei smiled embarrassedly and didn't explain much. When she came back from the palace, Zhang Jian also announced the decree from the palace to the Lu Mansion, which was naturally the same way. She didn't believe that she was walking on the street wearing an official robe, but Zhang Jian didn't see it, but she couldn't announce the decree on the street without stopping her. Even when he arrived at Lu's house, he would rather sit in the front hall and wait than let Qi Bo send someone out to pick her up...
In a trance, Lu Qipei understood something - Zhang Jian represented the emperor's attitude, so this was simply the emperor's intention to torment her!
Just to see it through but not to say it, of course Lu Qipei would not be stupid enough to point it out. After expressing her apology to Zhang Jian, she instructed Qi Bo to prepare the incense case to receive the decree. Qi Bo obviously understands the rules, these are all ready while waiting for Lu Qipei, and they are all ready in a moment.
The whole mansion knelt in front of the case to receive the decree, but Zhang Jian did not deliberately embarrass him.
Unsurprisingly, this was an imperial decree for marriage, and there were many praises for the two who gave the marriage, as if they were a match made in heaven. He couldn't see the emperor's nitpicking and disgust when facing Lu Qipei, which made the client even doubt his own ears.
But after thinking about it, after Zhang Jian finished reciting the imperial decree, Lu Qipei said happily: "I accept the decree, thank your majesty for your grace."
After receiving the imperial decree, he got up immediately, and the atmosphere that was considered solemn before dissipated in an instant. Zhang Jian smiled and congratulated her: "The imperial decree has been issued, and Mr. Lu has got what he wanted. See you next time, and you will be called a concubine."
It's not the first time that Lu Qipei has been called concubine. There have been many people calling her like that in previous lives, but this time is different. Xu is a change in her mood. Even if these two words were spit out from the mouth of the middle-aged servant in front of her, she still felt extremely sweet in her heart.
The corners of her lips could not be restrained raised, her brows and eyes were radiant, and anyone who saw what she looked like at the moment could know that she was happy in her heart.
Zhang Jian looked at the young man who was getting more and more high-spirited, and seemed to finally understand the dedication of the little princess to the person in front of him - Zhi Mu Shao Ai, young people always value color more. The young man in front of him was so handsome and talented, it was no wonder that Her Royal Highness, whose eyes were higher than the top, fell in love with her.
After a few polite words with Zhang Jian, he took the purse handed over by Qi Bo and secretly stuffed it into the other party's hand, Lu Qipei then asked: "When I left, I saw His Majesty's expression was quite displeased, and he thought he was reckless about the marriage. This will... I wonder why Your Majesty changed his mind?"
Zhang Jian laughed when he heard the words. He only said that Lu Xiuzhuan was a high-ranking man, but he couldn't understand the mind of being a parent. Today, she was in the hall, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she poked at the emperor's heart. It's no wonder that the emperor can give her a good face! It was also fortunate that Princess Qiyang was still in the Xuanshi Hall, and after waiting for the others to leave, it was a good deal of coaxing, which made the emperor show his face. As for this imperial decree, even Zhang Jian knew that it would be issued sooner or later.
However, Zhang Jian didn't dare to talk about the awkward thoughts of the emperor marrying his daughter. He squeezed the purse that Lu Qipei had stuffed into it. It was light and thin and didn't have much weight. It should have been stuffed with silver notes. He is not greedy for this little money, but he is also willing to sell Qiyang's concubine as a favor, so he said, "Your Majesty is not displeased with Lord Lu, but he is very fond of His Highness Qiyang in his heart."
After only mentioning this sentence, Zhang Jian refused to say more, and did not want the reception of the Lu family, so he hurried back to the palace in the dark.
After Zhang Jian left, Lu Qipei pondered the words he left for a long time in a daze - after getting married, she wouldn't treat Qi Yang badly, what would the emperor cherish? Then he turned his head a few times, and then realized that the emperor was reluctant to marry his daughter, so she was not pleasing to the eye.
After she was suddenly enlightened, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and she held the imperial edict for a long time and felt silly for a long time, and when she came back to her senses, she saw Qi Bo's strange expression.
Qi Bo was of course also happy. The reason why he made up his mind to give up Lu Qicheng at the beginning was because Princess Qiyang added a lot of chips to Lu Qipei. Later, when he found out that the two were unusually close, he also dared to think about the position of consort. However, no matter what his delusions and his plans, he never thought that this imperial decree would come so quickly and suddenly!
But the surprise came suddenly, what made Qi Bo even more incomprehensible was Lu Qipei's performance - he could naturally see that Lu Qipei was holding the imperial decree happily, and that silly look was like she really wanted to marry her sweetheart. .
Between the lights and flints, a thought slipped through Qi Bo's mind. He caught the flash of light and suddenly seemed to understand something. However, after understanding it, I was even more surprised, and even the eyes that looked at Lu Qipei became different...
Lu Qipei came back to his senses and realized that something was wrong. She coughed lightly to relieve the embarrassment, and then she restrained her smile and asked, "Why is Qi Bo looking at me like this?" He went over and said, "Take this imperial decree and offer it up."
Qi Bo took the imperial decree, but the strangeness in his eyes turned into worry at this moment: "Young master, this imperial decree... With your identity, is it really okay to marry Princess Qiyang?"
This was Zeb's temptation, and he clearly realized that things were going beyond his expectations.
No matter how big Lu Qipei's heart is, now he has two more precautions for the Lu family, especially Qi Bo, who she has never been able to see through. At the moment, his eyes flashed, and he still smiled: "Your Highness is young and naive, I also share the same interests with her, and it is good to be able to accompany each other."
She said it as if the two of them were young and didn't know their love, and they could lie on a bed under a quilt and just chat when they were married.
Qi Bo looked at her suspiciously, if he hadn't seen the two of them together, Qi Yang would have believed her when he saw her eyes full of admiration! However, having seen the sticky appearance of the two of them together, Lu Qipei's words can only deceive ghosts.
His heart felt complicated for a while, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was innocuous, and Qi Bo said: "Young master has a good idea." After speaking, he changed the subject and suddenly said: "There is something else I need to tell my son. Recently, there is a maid in the mansion to check pregnant."
Lu Qipei was stunned when he heard this. Qi Bo was always in charge of everything in the house. What did you tell her about this? There is no other master in this house except her, so what if a maid is pregnant? Marry whoever should be married, and it wasn't her who got her pregnant anyway!
Xu Shi saw the doubt in Lu Qipei's eyes, and Qi Bo added: "It's the maid in the young master's room, and she's two months pregnant now."
Two months ago, Lu Qicheng was still alive...
Lu Qipei took a deep breath and looked at Qi Bo's eyes suddenly darkened - two months ago, it was almost Lu Qicheng's last time. With her own hands, she knew very well what the situation would be like at that time. It is possible to fall asleep anytime, anywhere, and maybe the time to wake up is not enough to complete an affair or affair. How could Lu Qicheng's pride still touch a woman at such a time? !
It is not voluntary, it can only be arranged by someone. Lu Qipei imagined the last days of Lu Qicheng, and suddenly felt some sympathy.
Qi Bo let her look at it, and the two of them were tacitly aware of the matter of Lu Qicheng. As for this child who suddenly appeared, whether it is a retreat or a threat, it depends on the day. But if Lu Qipei couldn't tolerate him, he wouldn't stop him even if he was ruthless and killed.
Looking at Qi Bo's indifferent appearance, Lu Qipei could hardly guess what the old man was thinking. After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, he still said, "Let's stay, after all, it's Ah Cheng's blood."
Qi Bo was not surprised by this answer. After saying what he should say, he also withdrew with the imperial decree.
He didn't feel that Lu Qipei was indecisive. In fact, it would be beneficial to keep the child. After all, the Lu family is not a superficial wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River. Someone will inherit it in the future, not Lu Qicheng's child, or Lu Qipei's. But now she obviously has a head and tail with Princess Qiyang, how can the two women have children? Are you embarrassed to have a baby? Then where is Her Royal Highness the Princess
Qi Bo is a sensible person. From the very beginning, he let Lu Qipei disguise herself as a man as Lu Qicheng's substitute. He never thought that she would still have children. Either things were successfully silenced, or there is no turning back in today's scene.
This child came just right, and it can be considered that the young master showed off his residual heat before he died.
