After my fiancé became a monk, I actually had a three-year-old son

Chapter 321 What if I give my cousin a concubine?

Qi Yuning was pregnant and could not go out, but she could still hear that His Majesty had been unsmiling and harsh in recent times. He had reprimanded and demoted several officials. He was very different from the gentle and elegant Zhao Jie in the past.

Qi Yuning was afraid that Lingling had provoked him, so he asked Lu Ze. Lu Ze didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhao Jie.

"Now that Jie'er is in charge, he should have a stern expression. Don't worry too much. If it is really because of Sheng Lingling's anger, Jie'er will not allow Lingling to enter the Imperial Academy."

The Imperial College has always been a place for the imperial court to train officials. If it was really because of Lingling, Lingling would not be able to enter the Imperial College at all.

Qi Yuning also felt that what Lu Ze said was reasonable. Your Majesty is still young after all, and he is only over eighteen now, so he said: "Your Majesty is now personally in charge, so it is indeed appropriate to be stricter. By the way, why is Chu Qing so angry? The appointment hasn’t come down yet?”

As His Majesty's companion, Chu Qing has been with Zhao Jie for more than eleven years. Logically speaking, Your Majesty is in charge of the government, so Chu Qing must be given a court official. But up to now, Chu Qing still has no idea what official position he holds. No conclusion yet.

Lu Ze said: "I have never asked about this. Your Majesty would rather bear the name of unfilial piety and waste the letter from the courtiers. He married Chu Chi as his queen. He will not treat the Chu family badly. You don't have to worry about Chu Qing."

Qi Yuning said: "Isn't there someone who wants to be a matchmaker for Chu Qing? Although he is the uncle of the country now, he has no official position, so he can't treat his girl badly."

Lu Ze asked: "Who?"

"The Zheng family." Qi Yuning smiled lightly and said, "Zheng Hao's niece Zheng Xiuxiu."

Lu Zedao: "The Zheng family really wants to find in-laws as always to maintain the glory of their Zheng family."

Qi Yuning said: "Chu Qing has a bright future, and now he is the uncle of the country. Not to mention that he may inherit the Chu family of Yangzhou in the future. It is the lintel of an extremely wealthy country, so Xiuxiu is a perfect match for him. "

Zheng Xiuxiu was Lingling's best friend since childhood. Qi Yuning was happy for her that she could find a good husband.

Lu Ze said, "That's right. I'll ask Your Majesty tomorrow. There is a vacancy for a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel."

Qi Yuning was shocked and said: "Mr. Zhong, is this position too big?"

Lu Zedao: "Chu Qing is His Majesty's escort, he can be said to be a confidant, and this official position is not considered high."

……

Lu Yiling waited for half a month before he was able to enter the palace to see little sister Ah Shi.

When she arrived at Fengyi Palace, she saw that Chu Qing was there. She smiled lightly and said, "Brother Qing, I heard that you are getting married to Xiuxiu."

Chu Qing's face turned red and he said, "Little Princess, we haven't decided on this horoscope yet."

Lu Yiling said: "I heard that you are exchanging horoscopes. Why are there not even one horoscope left?"

Chu Chi smiled and said to Lu Yiling: "Princess, this is related to the reputation of Miss Xiuxiu. We can only come here secretly and cannot speak openly."

"Xiu Xiu is my best friend. I originally wanted her to be my aunt. Now it's even better if she can marry Brother Qing. We will be a family now."

Lu Yiling smiled lightly, "Brother Qing, Xiuxiu is a very good sister!"

Chu Qing nodded shyly, "She is very good."

Chu Chi said to Chu Qing: "Mother is recuperating in Yangzhou. I'm afraid she won't be able to make it to you to get married. The wedding etiquette is indispensable. You don't have a house in Shengjing yet... It's better to stay in Chu's house. Getting married?"

Chu Qingdao: "Your Majesty has also given me a lot of rewards over the years, and Princess Qi also gave me a salary. I have a lot of money, so I can buy a house and scrape it together. I don't want to go to the palace." "My mother has forgiven him, but that doesn't mean I can forgive him."

Chu Chi said: "I have also saved a lot of silver. You don't have to worry about the silver."

"I also have money!" Lu Yiling took out his wallet and opened it. Inside was a banknote folded into pieces.

Lu Yiling smoothed out the banknotes one by one and counted them: "One, two, three... Here are a total of thirty-two five-hundred-liang banknotes. Is that enough?"

When Chu Qing heard this, she looked at Lu Yiling in shock, "Little, little princess, do you just keep more than 10,000 taels of silver notes with you like this?"

Lu Yi Ling said: "That's why I don't worry. My parents don't allow me to hide silver coins. They all know about it in Fang Yue Mi Yuan. They don't know about it unless I keep it in my purse. These are my grandmother, grandfather, uncle, and uncle." I still have 20,000 taels that are given to me on weekdays. Only Chu Che and I know about it, and no one else knows about it." Chu Qing said, "Thank you for your kindness, little princess, but I can't use your money. ”

"You are my brother, why can't I use it anymore? You can't wrong my Xiuxiu!" Lu Yiling domineeringly handed the purse to Chu Qing, "You can return it to me slowly. All the scholars in the Imperial College said that you You’re going to be a high official, so you can return the money to me when you become a high official.”

Chu Chi smiled lightly and said: "Little princess, I really don't need to use your silver. I also have a lot of silver, which is enough."

Lu Yiling then safely took back her purse and hung it casually on her belt. Chu Chi was really afraid that Lu Yiling's purse would fall.

A full ten thousand taels of silver, enough for their family of five to live in Zhuangzi for several lifetimes.

Even if she is now a queen, these more than fifteen thousand taels of silver are not a small sum of money to her.

……

In the Zichen Palace.

After discussing the state affairs, Lu Ze turned to Zhao Jie and said, "Your Majesty, there is a vacancy for a doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. I think Chu Qing is just the right one. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Zhao Jie, however, looked around and said, "Cousin, what will happen to the princess' sister if you take a concubine?"

Lu Ze said: "This is not possible, I never thought about taking a concubine from the beginning, and after meeting Yu Ning, I will never take a concubine.

Taking concubines is nothing more than spreading heirs for beauty. The Lu family has no shortage of heirs. As for beauty, how many people can compare with your princess sister? "

Zhao Jie sighed and said, "What if I have to take a concubine as a last resort?"

"There is never any last resort." Lu Ze said.

Zhao Jie said: "How could that happen? What if I gave my cousin a concubine? Aren't you just a last resort?"

Lu Zelian said: "Your Majesty, please don't embarrass me. Lingling is thinking about getting a husband for her mother right now. If I really take a concubine, I'm afraid Lingling will really find a husband for her mother." Eight men."

Zhao Jie asked again: "What about the princess princess? What will she do if she knows you want to take a concubine?"

Lu Ze said: "She will probably happily accept those ten or eight husbands."

Zhao Jie said slowly: "Will she say that taking concubines is a good thing to expand the branches of the Lu family?"

Lu Ze said: "Even if these words come from Yu Ning's mouth, they must be yin and yang. How can a woman in this world who loves her husband really hope that her husband will take a concubine and watch her husband have sex with another woman? Even if it is For the sake of having more children in the family, those women must be unwilling to do so."

Zhao Jie sighed slightly: "I knew it was like this. She has never loved me before, so she can honestly say that she doesn't care that I have three palaces and six courtyards, and she is not jealous at all."

Lu Ze didn't dare to say more. Although the eighteen-year-old boy was a father, he was still young and would be trapped by love.

Zhao Jie said: "I have plans for Chu Qing's official position. I plan to send him to Yangzhou. My mother-in-law is sick and Chu Qing, as the eldest son, should go to Yangzhou to reunite."

"It seems like there are no official positions vacant in Yangzhou now?"

"The governor of Yangzhou has reached the end of his term. Let Chu Qing take over the position of governor." Zhao Jie said, "It just so happens that he can go and practice."

Lu Ze said: "Okay."

In Fengyi Palace, Lu Yiling was still playing with Ah Shi when he heard the news from the palace servants in Zichen Palace. His Majesty had appointed Chu Qing as the governor of Yangzhou.

When Lu Yiling heard that he was the prefect, he said, "What a small official."

Chu Chi said: "A fourth-grade Yizhou parent official is no longer a minor official, but I didn't expect that he would be sent abroad."

Chu Qing looked at Chu Chi and said: "My mother is not in good health. If I can go to Yangzhou, I can still serve my mother. But if I go to Yangzhou, then my sister will be the only one in Shengjing City. I am afraid it will be difficult to have someone to rely on." "

Lu Yiling raised her head and said, "Am I not a human being?"
