Reborn group favorite: The prince and I are enemies

It is said that the Duke of Yue State once fell in love with Princess Qi, his compatriot sister.

In an instant, all kinds of rumors were flying all over the sky, accusing Duke Yue of disregarding the general ethics and pouring basins of dirty water on him.

The rumors in the market are even more powerful, adding salt and jealousy to the relationship between the Duke of Yue and Princess Qi, saying that the two were once a couple.

In order to make the rumors more realistic, someone cited the fact that Duke Yue sent ginger flowers to Princess Qi during the flower viewing party held by Prince Qi's Mansion last year, and listed ten pieces of evidence that Duke Yue was fond of Princess Yue Qi.

As a result, a series of impeachment memorials were overwhelmingly presented to Emperor Yuanwu's imperial court.

Emperor Yuanwu looked at it and said nothing.

Duke Yue didn't seem to be affected, but every time during the court meeting, someone would see the darkening of Duke Yue's eyes.

The rumors became more and more intense, and finally turned into the story about Princess Qi's aborted child, which was actually said by the Duke of Yue.

Sun Tao kept this matter secret, and Lu Mingyu didn't hear even a single word.

At this time, the Queen Mother also held a so-called tea party and summoned all the clan wives into the palace.

After some polite greetings, the wives sat on both sides. The queen mother, who was sitting high on the phoenix chair, looked at Lu Mingyu with a gentle expression and said, "Princess Qi's belly is really not visible at all. Has it been three months?"

Lu Mingyu smiled lightly, neither distant nor flattering: "Yes, Queen Mother."

Princess Fu was the senior one here. She is now called great-grandmother. Seeing her eldest grandson's family growing up, she felt happy. After hearing this, she said kindly: "Princess Qi, the first three months are the most important. You should You are raising a young man at home, why do you come out to join in the fun with old ladies like us today?"

There was no blame in his words, and Lu Mingyu replied respectfully: "Thank you to Princess Fu for her concern. Today is the day when the wives of the clan enter the palace for the first time to pay homage to the Queen Mother. I respect the Queen Mother in my heart, so I naturally came."

The Queen Mother smiled softly and gracefully: "I know Princess Qi's intentions, but the heirs are big, so we must not be careless. There is no need to come to a day like this when relatives at home meet. The Ai family will not be offended by you."

Lu Mingyu suppressed the corner of his mouth and sneered, "I had known that the Queen Mother was so generous, but I would have stolen it back at home. I wonder if I misunderstood Aunt Chunxi's intention and thought that today even if it means a knife from the sky, I will kill her." Come on!"

Aunt Chunxi is a palace attendant who serves closely to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother's face stiffened when she heard this, but her tone became gentler: "Chunxi has been with the Ai family for decades. She has always acted prudently. It must be because Princess Qi was so thoughtful during her pregnancy that she thought Chunxi had a tough attitude."

Lu Mingyu nodded, with an expression of approval and perfunctory words: "Yes, yes, I shouldn't have arranged Aunt Chunxi's fault. The Queen Mother is the most kind person, but I am narrow-minded."

There is a kind of attitude of admitting mistakes that can make people's blood surge. Seeing Lu Mingyu's sincere admission of mistakes, the Queen Mother was furious and her tone lost the naturalness she had just said: "It's good that Princess Qi knows."

Lu Mingyu smiled and did not answer.

The sincerity and fear of admitting her mistake that the Queen Mother imagined did not happen to Lu Mingyu at all. She felt a sense of being despised. She originally needed a lot of nonsense to pave the way, but she couldn't help but bring it up directly, just to piss off this ungrateful person. Princess Qi relieved the hatred in her heart.

"Princess Qi, you are the only one in the backyard of Prince Qi's palace. Not to mention the concubines, there are not even concubines. Now that you are pregnant again, you cannot wrong King Qi."

"Besides, I don't know whether the child in your belly is a boy or a girl. Prince Qi is already over [-] years old, so he should have a young prince to inherit the title. Your body is so thin that you will fall down when the wind blows. You will inherit the heirs of Prince Qi's palace." It’s really too much to rely on you.”

"So the Ai family selected a few girls of the right age to marry Prince Qi as concubines, and let them bear the pain of childbirth for you. You just need to be your Princess Qi and enjoy the glory and wealth of the heavenly family."

The Queen Mother naturally heard the rumors outside, and it happened that Duke Qi was lobbying her ears, saying that the emperor seemed to value King Qi as his uncle, and for the sake of the emperor, she should win over King Qi.

And now is the best time. King Qi must be annoyed because he is laughed at by others because of Princess Qi. King Qi will definitely be happy if he sends a few beautiful and gentle ladies to him at this time.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she was very reasonable and immediately selected some well-educated women to be married to King Qi as concubines.

The purpose of gathering the clan's wife to Qingning Palace today was to inform Lu Mingyu of this matter. If Lu Mingyu didn't comply, she would operate on Lu Mingyu in order to establish her authority in front of the clan's wife.

Lu Mingyu listened calmly to the Queen Mother finishing this smelly and long fart. She didn't say yes or no, she just smiled and said.

"There is a saying among the people that a sister-in-law is like a mother. It is reasonable for the Queen Mother to take care of this matter for Zhaohua. However, the period of filial piety has not yet expired. Is it too hasty?"

According to the practice of the Qin Dynasty, people have to mourn for their parents for three years, which is three years of mourning.The royal family is not so strict, but they still have to go through a hundred days of filial piety.

Now the late emperor and the late queen mother have only been away for a month, but the queen mother is thinking of giving King Qi a concubine. Isn't she so anxious to be reborn as an immortal?

The Queen Mother seemed to have expected that she would say this. After hearing the words, she gently advised: "I don't mean to marry her immediately after we have decided. This concubine is not an ordinary concubine. She is half the master of Prince Qi's palace. She cannot be accepted into the palace hastily. Here, it will definitely take some time to prepare.”

"When the concubine is ready, she can be married to you and share the hard work of serving King Qi. And counting the days, your belly will be bigger by then, and the concubine can also take care of you."

Lu Mingyu listened with a smile, the walking beads on his head swaying gently, and his bright little face, like an elf who had strayed into the mortal world.

But when the Queen Mother finished speaking, she suddenly covered her lips with a handkerchief and vomited loudly: "vomit..."

Lu Yi quickly patted her back gently, with a worried look on his face: "Princess, what's going on?"

Lu Mingyu vomited a few more times. She held the corner of her handkerchief and wiped her mouth. She said blankly, "I don't know. Maybe I'm full. I feel a little nauseous."

Lu Yi said worriedly: "My servant advised you this morning. Even though the breakfast cooked by the prince is delicious, you can't be greedy. Now, if the prince knows that you are exhausted, he may be in a hurry."

Lu Mingyu didn't take it seriously: "How can it be that serious? Maybe it's morning sickness."

Lu Yi was still worried: "When I get back home, let the doctor take a good look at it and prescribe some medicinal supplements."

Lu Mingyu smiled softly: "Okay, that's up to you."

The master and servant sang together, as if they had not heard what the Queen Mother had just said. Everyone lowered their eyes slightly, not daring to look at the Queen Mother's face.
