back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 598 The Battle Between Heaven and Man
Lu Chengqi knew that the Empress Dowager Zunci was thinking wrong, how could he be so mad?Killing and silence, how psychologically twisted it is to do it!Lu Chengqi was just afraid that the more people knew about this, the more people would force him to accept Jinxuan as his concubine.

At this moment, Lu Chengqi is in the battle between heaven and man. On the one hand, he is very clear that he has stolen this body.On the other hand, this Jinxuan was, after all, that unlucky woman.If he accepted her as his concubine, wouldn't it be unrighteous of him?Don't say that you can't accept it, it's unfair to that Jinxuan.

Lu Chengqi didn't answer the Empress Dowager Liu's question immediately, but was in a daze.

After a long time, Lu Chengqi said: "Your Majesty, I already have a favorite concubine..."

Liu was taken aback, then raised her voice and said, "Don't tell me you don't want Jinxuan anymore? She has been waiting for you for so long, and you have no mercy?"

Lu Chengqi smiled wryly and said: "Madam, this is a concubine, not a charity... I don't know how to say it..."

The Venerable Empress Dowager Liu suppressed the anger in her heart: "Your Majesty is the king of a country, so what's the point of having two more concubines? Jinxuan is a kind person, and she was once favored by you. According to the rules, at least she should be named Jieyu. Even if you don't accept her as a concubine, you still have to confer her the title of Jieyu! No, where is it so cheap, Jieyu is still missing, at least she must be a concubine, and the title should be expensive."

Lu Chengqi is no longer a noob, he knows that no matter the concubine or concubine, they are all his wives.It's just that his wife still has a rank like an official.Among the harem, the biggest one is naturally the empress.Under the empress, concubines are the first rank; concubines are the second rank;A nobleman can also be regarded as Lu Chengqi's wife, but this kind of nobleman's status is very low.

Just as Lu Chengqi was about to speak, footsteps sounded outside the hall, and he stopped talking.Not long after, the servant Jinxuan came in with a plate of pastries.After carefully placing the plate on the tea table, he walked quickly behind Mrs. Liu and lowered his head again.Lu Chengqi didn't know what was wrong, every time he saw her, his heart beat faster, and he felt an irresistible urge. "Could it be that that unlucky ghost is still in this body?" Thinking of this, Lu Chengqi felt a chill in his heart.He has read many novels of later generations, and he knows that this kind of situation is called "seizing the house" in the novels.But he didn't feel any discomfort, except seeing this Jinxuan.

"It seems that this unlucky ghost really likes this Jinxuan. In my opinion, she can be considered a beauty, but she is also on the same level as Zhiruo." Lu Chengqi is really in the midst of blessings, so he doesn't know his blessings, so he goes out at random in the palace The maids in the palace are all beautiful, and they are the wives that every Dashun man dreams of.Although due to etiquette, few people dare to marry them as wives, but there are not a few who accept them as concubines.Lu Chengqi was used to seeing Yingying and Yanyan, so he felt nothing.

Empress Dowager Liu nodded and said: "Since my son has agreed, I will wait for the imperial decree."

Lu Chengqi was taken aback: "What did I promise?"

"Could it be that your majesty wants to deny it? Just now, it was clearly agreed that Jinxuan should be accepted as a concubine. Your majesty is the emperor, and once you say something, it is an imperial decree. How can it be like a joke!" The respected and benevolent Empress Dowager Liu said with a serious face.

Lu Chengqi still doesn't understand, he is an idiot.For no reason, he was "spoofed" by the seemingly harmless Queen Dowager Ci, he was depressed and was about to explain himself, but he caught a glimpse of Jinxuan's slightly raised head and those longing eyes, and his words almost Once it came to my mouth, but I couldn't say it.

He cursed in his heart: "This queen mother is not a thing, how dare she deceive me? Sure enough, there are no simple characters in the Tian family. The seemingly kind queen mother is also a good hand at tricking people!" Knowing that Mrs. Liu is for the Lu family For the sake of thinking, I can't swear some ugly words.But feeling upset, Lu Chengqi couldn't help thinking about a question: "Should I call her an old godmother?"

Godly woman is one of the ancient female occupations "three aunts and six women", referring to women who set up Qinlou Chuyuan and improperly traded media, that is, "yin intermediary".In other words, a godmother is a madam.Lu Chengqi felt that this kind of arranged marriage was really no different from those pimps in brothels.

Looking at Jinxuan's eyes full of expectation, Lu Chengqi couldn't bear it anymore.He had expected that even if he didn't know the 72 concubines of the Sangong and Six Courtyards, he at least had to have the "standard configuration" of three wives and four concubines.Rather than delaying the life of other girls, it is better to be more "fraternal" and marry them together.It was because Han Feng'er was wronged, thinking of that "unruly" Han Feng'er, Lu Chengqi's head twitched: "What's the matter!"

If other people knew what he was thinking, they would definitely say that he was a good-looking guy when he got a bargain.Which man doesn't yearn for a life of three wives and four concubines. As an emperor, what kind of emperor is he without three thousand beauties in the harem?Even if Lu Chengqi didn't want to marry or accept a concubine, he couldn't help it.He can resist for a while, can he resist for a lifetime?
Thinking of this, Lu Chengqi resigned to his fate: "Your Majesty is right, I am the Son of Heaven, so I should spit a nail..."

Mrs. Liu obviously had never heard such "vulgar" words, and the meaning was understandable, but her expression was a little displeased: "My son, pay attention to your words..."

Lu Chengqi was so depressed that he wanted to find someone to beat him up, why did he care about words?If he hadn't taken into account that he was still in Jingfu Palace, he would have lost his temper.

"Well, Jinxuan, follow your majesty and go to the back garden. You haven't seen each other for a long time, maybe you have become acquainted, and your majesty remembers some previous things..." The empress dowager Zunci is worthy of the "professional" level The matchmaker, dedicated to creating an environment for the two of them to be alone.

Lu Chengqi shouldn't delay either, a lie needs multiple lies to support it.If Lu Chengqi showed a trace of impatience, with the sensitivity of a woman, how could Jinxuan not feel it?
In desperation, Lu Chengqi said: "I would like to obey your mother's order! Miss Jinxuan, please!"

Jinxuan was obviously very nervous, but she didn't dare to look at him. She walked out of the hall in small steps, and said in a soft voice: "Your Majesty, this way please..."

Lu Chengqi's heart started beating uncontrollably again, he had never felt this kind of feeling even when he was holding Zhou Zhiruo.This feeling that he didn't feel like himself made him a little frightened, he despised himself in his heart, and also cheered himself up: "It's just a woman, is it worth being so excited?"

Looking at Jinxuan's back with small steps, Lu Chengqi was deeply attracted for some reason.This scene seemed to have happened before.Lu Chengqi was a little dazed: "I seem to have been here before..."

With her back turned to him, Jinxuan answered quietly, "Your Majesty grew up here, so you must have been here..." She added in her heart: "We also met here for the first time, and I didn't know you at that time. It's the prince, and you didn't treat me as a court lady..."

In the back garden in July, apart from the slightly golden wheat, there are some fruit trees bearing fruit.It was all because of the Empress Dowager Liu's marriage to Nong Sang that the huge back garden was turned into a farm.The previous plum garden and other scenery will be moved elsewhere.

Jinxuan came here and did not leave.Seeing her staring blankly at the wheat field for a long time, Lu Chengqi asked suspiciously: "What's wrong with you?"

"There, it turned out to be a plum garden..." Jinxuan seemed to be answering, and also seemed to be talking to herself.
