Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 550 Three years (four)

  Wang Jiejue was not ostentatious when she was favored. Over the past year, her favor has declined, and there is no resentment. I still come to Jiaofangdian every day to say goodbye, and the morning and evening are fixed, and the wind and rain have never stopped.

   Queen Qiao had long regarded Wang Jieyu as her own, and she was Lu Mingyu, who was also quite close to Wang Jieyu.

   "Today, I went to the study to rest. The little princess stayed in the Fanghua Palace and was stuffy. She was making a fuss to come to find Brother Jue and the others."

  Wang Jieyu explained with a slightly apologetic smile: "My concubine was really troubled by her, so she brought her here. I am ashamed to disturb Yaxing, who disturbed the conversation between the Queen and the Crown Princess and Her Royal Highness."

   Queen Qiao said with a smile: "The little princess is cute and lovable, and I wish she would come every day."

   "My mother and I meet every day, so how can there be so many things to say." Princess Hui'an smiled and continued: "If there is nothing to disturb, it is only when the crowd is lively."

  Lu Mingyu also smiled and said, "Come earlier in the future, just to have lunch together."

  Wang Jieyu pursed her lips and chuckled: "The Crown Princess said so, and the concubine will be cheeky and come here early."

  Everyone was talking and laughing to pass the time.

   After a while, the children started making noises.

  The little princess ran over and complained aggrievedly: "Second sister-in-law, brother Zhuang is pulling my hairband."

   The little princess had two buns on her head, one hair band was pulled crooked, and the little girl was crooked to one side. Coupled with the aggrieved expression of the little princess, it makes people feel pity.

  Lu Mingyu hurriedly hugged the little princess, smiled and coaxed a few words, and re-tied the little princess's hairband in person. Then he called Li Yan over.

  Li Cong saw her mother's face and knew that it was not good, and she was willing to come here honestly. She walked over slowly, and before Lu Mingyu reprimanded with a calm face, she had already hid in Queen Qiao's arms.

Empress Qiao spoiled her grandson, and she had no basic principles, and immediately said: "Brother Liang is still young and ignorant. If you do something wrong, you should teach him slowly. Don't always keep a sullen face. Don't talk about children, I'll see you in this palace. They're all freaking out."

  Lu Mingyu: "..."

  With such a mother-in-law who loves her children too much, it is not easy to discipline her children.

Wang Jieyu also smiled and said, "My lord, don't be angry. Brother Liang is not yet three years old. For such an older child, he loves to haunt whoever he likes. It is not to bully the little princess on purpose. When a trivial matter occurs, my concubine will not be ashamed to bring the little princess here to greet her."

  Lu Mingyu smiled helplessly and said, "It's obviously this **** who is naughty, yet you still protect him like this. If I don't discipline him well, I'm afraid I'll be a mess in the future."

   Queen Qiao smiled cheerfully: "It's common for boys to be naughty."

  Well, with Queen Qiao here, don't even think about discipline children.

  Lu Mingyu glanced at Li Cong calmly. Li Yun was different from his elder brothers and sisters. He was stared at by his mother, not only did not hesitate, but also grinned.

  Lu Mingyu was amused.

   This stinky boy is simply the magic star in her life. It hasn't stopped since the day of pregnancy. After birth, it was even more worrying.

   After spending an hour in the Jiaofang Hall, the children were tired from playing, so Lu Mingyu took the children back to take a nap.

   After returning to the East Palace, he had to give Li Cong a lesson with a straight face.

   When there was no one to support him, Li Cong didn't dare to make a fuss, and stood there honestly and was scolded and taught by his mother. With his head down, he looked very pitiful.

   Qiyun looked distressed, and opened her mouth to intercede for the little master: "The niangniang has also been trained, and the servant girl will take the little prince to take a nap!"

  Li Cong nodded vigorously, stretched a big lazy waist, and signaled that he was really sleepy.

  Lu Mingyu rubbed his forehead and complained to Qiyun: "Everyone is accustomed to him. I rarely have the opportunity to discipline him, and you are here to intercede for this bastard."

  Qiyun was delighted to hear it: "Only the mother-in-law can say these three words asshole. If someone else shouted like that, the mother-in-law should be annoyed."

Lu Mingyu laughed jokingly: "If you think about it carefully, it's really like this. I often have headaches with anger, and others dislike him for being naughty and naughty, and I'm not very happy. It can be seen that all mothers in the world are protecting their shortcomings. ."

  Li Cong is not very big, and she is too clever. Seeing her mother smiling, she was relieved and rushed into Qiyun's arms with a smile on her face: "Mother Yun is so kind to me."

   Li Cong, who is so sweet and smart, who doesn't like it?

   Even if he is naughty, everyone still likes him and pets him. Qiyun was no exception, smiling and hugging Li Yan to take a nap.

  Lu Mingyu was rarely free, so he went back to the bedroom and fell asleep.

   Confused, she had a dream.

  …

   In the dream, Li Jing came to her on a horse.

   The steed is tall and steed, and Li Jingjun on the horse is as beautiful as a heavenly man, and his black eyes are full of smiles. She shouted her boudoir name: "Xiaoyu, I'm back."

   For a moment, she seemed to have returned to the carefree days of her youth, picked up the skirt and walked towards the boy she liked.

  The sun is shining and the spring breeze is warm.

   Li Jing's smile is more dazzling than the sun.

  Suddenly, a cold arrow flew from nowhere and stabbed straight into his chest.

   She was shocked and shouted in a heartbreaking voice: "Li Jing! Be careful!"

  The arrow penetrated his chest instantly. Blood splashed from his heart. He didn't even have time to exhale, and just fell straight down.

   Heaven and earth were silent, everything became blank and nothingness.

   Only she screamed in pain: "Li Jing!"

  Li Jing!

  Lu Mingyu suddenly woke up, sat up straight from the bed, her heart beat fast, cold sweat on her forehead, and cold sweat on her back.

   "Niangniang," Qiyun, who was standing outside the door, was also shocked when she heard the movement. She hurried in and rushed to the side of the bed: "Did Niangniang have a nightmare?"

  Lu Mingyu took a few breaths and let out a low hum when the turbulent heartbeat calmed down a little.

  Qiyun wiped the sweat on Lu Mingyu's forehead with a handkerchief, with a worried look on her face: "The niangniang called out the name of His Royal Highness just now. Could it be that he dreamed of His Royal Highness?"

  Lu Mingyu spit out a turbid breath: "I had a nightmare just now. I dreamed that someone shot a cold arrow in the dark, and Li Jing was shot in the chest and fell off his horse, and he didn't know his life or death."

  Li Jing left Beijing for Jiangnan this time, in order to thoroughly investigate private salt.

   There is no need to pay taxes for the sale of illicit salt, and the huge profits are astonishing, and the court has repeatedly banned it.

   There are even more daring salt dealers who secretly collude with officials and secretly support private soldiers. Jiangnan's last governor of the Salt Administration died on the way to inspect. The apparent cause of death was a sudden illness on the road, but in fact it was at the hands of an assassin.

  Illicit salt dealers are so rampant that the imperial court cannot tolerate it. In a fit of anger, Emperor Yongjia ordered Prince Li Jing to investigate the case of the governor's assassination. And sent two thousand royal guards to accompany him.

  Lu Mingyu couldn't rest assured, ordered another 2,000 prince concubines' personal soldiers, and went to Jiangnan with Li Jingyi.

  Li Jing brought a total of 5,000 people. Even if someone raises a flag to rebel, and encounters 20,000 or 30,000 bandits, they also have the strength to fight.
