Chapter 226 I thought my wife wanted to have a baby for me as soon as possible
After Lu Huan returned to the manor, he heard that Su Qingci was almost injured by an eagle. He was extremely anxious and immediately pulled her arm over and examined it carefully.
Su Qingci smiled slightly, gently pulled his hand back, and said: "Don't worry, I'm fine. Fortunately, Zitan blocked it for me today."
Lu Huan heaved a sigh of relief: "That's good."
"By the way, I heard that you met people from Fengyuan today?"
Su Qingci nodded and said, "Yes, I always feel that he is a little weird and doesn't seem like a good person."
"Recently, many Fengyuan people have come to Shangjing City. You should stay at the manor and go out less to avoid dangers like today."
Su Qingci nodded obediently, but she was a little confused and asked, "Why did the people of Fengyuan come to the capital?"
"I heard it's related to a small town on our border called Puzhou."
"The governor of Puzhou took advantage of the remote location of Puzhou and the emperor's incompetence, extravagance and debauchery, and his indifference to Puzhou, so he became more and more unscrupulous.
Originally, there was frequent trade between the two countries on their borders. Merchants from Fengyuan would take the animal furs, precious conch indigo, unique spices and other items obtained from hunting to the market to sell in exchange for silks and satins from the Central Plains, exquisite jewelry for women, fresh fruits or money.
However, the governor of Puzhou deliberately lowered the exchange rate between the two countries, resulting in their hard-earned income being exchanged for only a pittance of money.
Not only that, the governor also allowed his men to burn, kill, and plunder, and wantonly oppressed the people of Fengyuan State, causing chaos in the border area. Economic disputes between the two countries continued, and the people's lives were miserable. "
Su Qingci asked angrily: "Is there no one to take care of it?"
“Most of the people they oppressed were passing businessmen. Most of the people of Fengyuan lived in tribal settlements in felt tents and had to migrate every summer and winter.
Only these businessmen were wandering around the area, making their homes everywhere, so at the beginning, not many Fengyuan people knew about this matter. "
"Later, the governor of Puzhou allowed his men to burn, kill and loot. They even stopped doing exchange business with those merchants and instead focused on robbing those merchants of their supplies and property. As a result... the situation got worse and worse."
"I heard that the governor of Puzhou had been killed by a prince of Fengyuan. The emperor also heard about this, but he never asked about it."
"Perhaps the reason why the people of Fengyuan came to the capital this time is because of this matter."
Lu Huan held her in his arms and sighed, "In short, those Fengyuan people don't have a good impression of us Nanchang people. Don't go out unless you have something to do in the future, so as not to be targeted by them."
Su Qingci nestled in Lu Huan's arms and listened to him talking about these things. Her mind couldn't stop thinking of that man's eyes, a look of disdain, filled with the word "plunder".
If Lu Huan had not said in person that it was the governor of Puzhou who first harassed the people of Fengyuan, Su Qingci would have mistakenly believed that the people of Nanchang were the ones being oppressed.
"I understand." Su Qingci said.
……
"By the way, when I came in just now, I saw several large vats with lotus and lotus seeds planted in them."
"Did the lady buy it?"
Su Qingci: "Yes, this is probably the last wave of lotus viewing season. We won't be able to see them in a few days, so I thought, while they can still bloom for a while, I should buy some back... to add some color."
Lu Huan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and raised his eyebrows with a smile: "That's all?"
"Of course not only that." Su Qingci's voice was a little lower, "I also plan to use lotus seeds to make lotus seed porridge and lotus seed cake! Boiling porridge is good for health and is the most nutritious."
"Oh...I see, I thought so."
Su Qingci's face instantly became hot, and she shyly scolded: "What do you think?"
"I thought Madam wanted to get pregnant for me as soon as possible." Lu Huan raised a sly smile.
Su Qingci muttered with a hint of coquettishness: "No."
Lu Huan smiled and said, "Okay, if it's not true, then it's not true." After that, he reached out to unbutton her lapel.
……
The next day, Lu Huan, who had just finished court, hurried out of the palace, but unexpectedly met Pei Ji who came to look for him.
Pei Ji came up to him with a smile on his face, and said enthusiastically: "Ziyi, I heard that a new restaurant has opened in the city recently, and the delicious food is amazing. Do you want to go there together to taste the delicious food?"
In fact, Lu Huan had no such intention. After all, Su Qingci was at home looking forward to his return.
"Ziyi, we haven't been together for a long time since you got married. Today...are you still going to refuse?"
Although Lu Huan and Pei Ji are on good terms on the surface, he knows in his heart that Pei Ji is a hypocrite with sweet words but a sharp tongue.
Although it was difficult to refuse, he wanted to understand what Pei Ji was thinking when he invited him to the banquet, so he finally agreed to go with him.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Lu Huan was surprised to find that besides himself and Pei Ji, there were already quite a few people sitting at the table.
He turned his head to look at Pei Ji who was greeting other bureaucrats, feeling a little dissatisfied.
Pei Ji only invited him to dine at the restaurant, but did not mention that there would be anyone else present.
Among these people, the civil officials look elegant and the military generals look majestic, but none of them are good people.
Seeing Lu Huan coming, one of them said in a strange voice: "Wow, even General Lu is here today, what a rare guest."
Lu Huan has never been keen on gatherings with many people, so he seldom shows up. If he can avoid it, he will. If he can't, he will sit alone in a corner and drink by himself.
At such banquets, most people present had ill intentions and impure motives, so Lu Huan did not take his sarcasm to heart.
He ignored it and walked straight to an empty seat and sat down.
As soon as Lu Huan sat down, a prostitute came over gracefully.
This prostitute was born beautiful and had a graceful figure. Many of her colleagues present were eyeing her beauty, but she just went towards Lu Huan.
She opened her red lips and whispered softly, "Sir, I offer you a toast."
After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and handed it to Lu Huan.
Lu Huan frowned slightly and did not take her drink.
Pei Ji beside him raised his hand and toasted him with a glass of wine, saying with a smile: "Zi Yi, it's okay, just enjoy yourself today."
Lu Huan completely ignored the prostitute's expression, poured himself a glass of wine, nodded to Pei Ji, and drank it all in one gulp.
"We're already in the restaurant drinking, why are you still pretending?" An official said sarcastically as he looked at Lu Huan's behavior.
All the officials who came here to drink were there for the prostitutes, but Lu Huan insisted on pretending to be honest and incorruptible and not interested in women.
"Hey...Master Ji, you can't say that."
"Just be clear in your mind." Someone at the scene reminded him. The original official snorted and said nothing more.
After several rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, everyone's eyes and thoughts shifted to the prostitutes serving beside them.
