After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 26 The Beauty of Xiyuan

Dexintang.

When Qiao Jingjing arrived, Qiao's father was not there, only Mother Lu and Aunt Rong were.

Seeing her come in, Mother Lu and Aunt Rong's eyes lit up.

Aunt Rong even praised her directly: "Madam is so beautiful."

"Thank you Aunt Rong. The main reason is that the craftsmanship of the mallow beside me is good." Qiao Jingjing said modestly.

"It's not bad." Mother Lu looked at her and praised her, then pointed to the seat next to her and said, "Sit here."

Qiao Jingjing sat down and asked with concern: "By the way, why isn't dad here?"

Mother Lu said helplessly: "He is just a martial artist. Apart from that hobby, he has no other hobbies. He is probably practicing martial arts with Ayan at the martial arts field at the moment."

When Qiao Jingjing heard this, she understood.

Speaking of Father Lu, he is also a strange person.

It is said that he is a farmer, but that is not entirely correct, because in addition to brute strength, he actually also has some kung fu.

Previously at the Lu family in Xingzi Village, he would practice with Lu Xingyan every morning when he got up.

Unexpectedly, when I came to the capital, I didn’t let go of this habit.

What she didn't expect even more was that there was a martial arts field in the house.

It must have been specially built by Lu Xingzhi for Lu's father.

"Practicing martial arts can strengthen your body, which is good." She said with a smile.

"Those who wield knives and guns are covered in stinking sweat." Lu's mother said in a disgusted tone, but there was clearly a smile on her face.

Qiao Jingjing felt that this couple was very unusual, and she always felt that their identities were not that simple.

But there was no doubt on her face.

"Xingzhi asked Butler Wang to invite the embroiderer from the Beijing Embroidery House to measure our measurements. Don't rush out for a while." At this time, Mother Lu told us.

"Okay." Qiao Jingjing nodded.

Originally, she did plan to go out for a walk today to get acquainted with the capital.

Since someone came to measure the size, it was naturally difficult for her to go out.

While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, Lu Shuangshuang also arrived.

She was dressed completely new and her hair was styled again.

She was smiling and obviously in a good mood.

But when she saw Qiao Jingjing's dress, the smile on her face immediately faded.

"It's so ugly to dress up in all the glory!"

But the sourness revealed in her words could even be smelled by the servants.

Qiao Jingjing was not annoyed and just said: "Shuangshuang's dress is elegant and gentle, and it suits you very well."

Lu Shuangshuang thought he was complimenting her, and a proud expression immediately appeared on his face, "That's not like some people who look like vixens and are thinking about seducing people all the time."

"That's ridiculous!" Qiao Jingjing said calmly.

Lu Shuangshuang was stunned for a moment, then frowned with a look of disgust on his face, "Don't you understand good words? Who praised you?"

"Isn't it you Shuangshuang?" Qiao Jingjing asked back, and then, before Lu Shuangshuang could say anything else, she turned around and said unhurriedly, "I once heard someone say that the term vixen originally refers to the transformation of a fox into a fox. A successful person is a kind of spirit with divine power, and is very powerful. Shuangshuang, you repeatedly said that I am a vixen, aren't you just saying that I am very powerful?"

Lu Shuangshuang was stunned.

Mother Lu also glanced at Qiao Jingjing in surprise, but she didn't expect that she had such a wonderful solution.

"That's nonsense!" Lu Shuangshuang came back to his senses and said in disgust, "Stop putting gold on your face!"

"Okay Shuangshuang, it's so early in the morning, can you calm down for a while?" Mother Lu said with a headache. Lu Shuangshuang gouged out Qiao Jingjing's eyes, then gave up, but then talked about another thing, "Mom, have you heard everything?"

"What?" Mother Lu was confused.

"Xiyuan." Lu Shuangshuang blinked and glanced at Qiao Jingjing with a look of gloating.

Qiao Jingjing didn't care.

Mother Lu, on the other hand, couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with Xiyuan?"

"I heard from the servant who was serving that the day before we arrived in Beijing, the Holy Father gave some beauties to my eldest brother. I heard that they were all tribute beauties from other countries. They were beautiful and good at singing and dancing. The Emperor gave them to the court. The ministers have all given rewards, and the eldest brother is highly appreciated by the emperor, so he also gave two to our house, and Butler Wang temporarily placed them in Xiyuan." Lu Shuangshuang poured out the words like beans from a bamboo tube.

Mother Lu frowned when she heard this, "That's ridiculous!"

Lu Shuangshuang disagreed and said: "This is given by the emperor and is my eldest brother's honor. How can it be ridiculous?"

"I mean, you're ridiculous!" Mother Lu rubbed her brows and was so angry that she was speechless.

Lu Shuangshuang's face turned cold, "What did I do wrong again?"

"You are a girl who has not yet left the government. If you talk about this matter without permission and spread it, it will harm your reputation." At this time, Qiao Jingjing suddenly said.

Lu Shuangshuang was stunned for a moment, then raised his chin and said arrogantly: "You don't need to interrupt my affairs!"

Qiao Jingjing shrugged, stood up and said to Mother Lu, "Mom, if there's nothing else to do, I'll go back first."

Mother Lu nodded.

Qiao Jingjing ignored Lu Shuangshuang and left with her maid.

When Lu Shuangshuang said those words, Mother Lu was very angry, but she was worried about her presence and could not reprimand Lu Shuangshuang in person, so she proposed to resign.

After leaving Dexinyuan, Qingyuan and Mallow followed Qiao Jingjing anxiously.

Sure enough, when she returned to Meixiangyuan, Qiao Jingjing said, "What's going on in Xiyuan?"

Qingyuan hesitated for a moment, then whispered back: "It's no different from what Miss Shuangshuang said."

"So, Xiyuan really houses beauties paid tribute by other countries?" Qiao Jingjing asked with raised eyebrows.

This time, both maids nodded silently.

Seeing this, Qiao Jingjing sighed inwardly.

Is the plot still deviating?

In the original book, Lu Xingzhi broke off the engagement with the original owner, so when the emperor offered the beauty, he declined because he was not in the mood.

But now, as soon as she and Lu Xingzhi got married, the emperor quietly sent the beauty to the Lu Mansion. When Lu Xingzhi returned to the capital, the matter was a foregone conclusion and he could no longer refuse.

The Dog Emperor gave the beauties because he disliked the beauties wasting food in the palace, so he distributed all the tribute girls to the officials of the court.

It is euphemistically called caring for subordinates.

What a dog!
"But Madam, don't worry. Your Excellency has always kept a clean mind, and with a wife as beautiful as you, Madam, those tribute girls will not have a chance." Qingyuan saw the bitter and hateful look on her face, thinking that she cared about those tribute girls. Existence, he couldn't help but expressed relief.

Qiao Jingjing came back to her senses, and naturally it was difficult to show that she didn't care. She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and made a sad look, "The emperor's gift is a gift, and my husband cannot neglect it, alas!"

When Qingyuan and Mallow saw this, they didn't know how to comfort them.

"By the way, I'll send this handkerchief back to you adults." Qiao Jingjing remembered something, took out a clean handkerchief and handed it to Qingyuan.

Qingyuan was puzzled, "This is..."

"Last time on the road, I accidentally blew sand into my eyes and shed some tears. You adults were considerate and took this handkerchief to wipe my tears." Qiao Jingjing explained.

Hearing this, Qing Yuan smiled and said, "Your Excellency treats your wife so well."

"Isn't it?" Qiao Jingjing agreed without blushing or heartbeat.
