Chapter 54 Your Father's Things Will Be Yours

Li Gu's "chance encounter" with Ji Fushou in the Taiqing Palace could not be hidden from the other brothers. After Jiang Guifei learned about it, she went to the queen.

That night, Emperor Qi Cheng stayed in the Queen's Palace, and the next day, the Central Palace issued a decree.

"Wen Honglu Temple's Shaoqing's daughter Liu Shi is pure, quiet and virtuous. She is a model of Derong women workers. She is a perfect match for the second prince. I ordered Qin Tianjian to choose a good day and auspicious day for the second prince to marry the imperial concubine."

When Li Gu received this Yizhi, he was filled with various emotions in his heart, and finally bent down slightly to accept the Yizhi.

After the eunuch who announced the decree left, Li Gu held the decree and did not move for a long time. After a long time, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He knew that he was no longer qualified to participate in this fight for succession.

This decree to choose a prince and concubine for him is an obvious warning.

He had only met Ji Fushou once, and the palace had chosen a concubine for him. The choice of a concubine for a prince was a major event, and the empress would definitely discuss it with his father. If this decree could be passed, it meant that his father had no objection to it.

Li Gu was not afraid of the queen's faint threat, but what he was afraid of was that his father would exclude him from the succession candidates early in the morning.

And this decree undoubtedly explained the attitude of the father.

The Shaoqing of Honglu Temple is said to be a third-rank official, but this official has no real power.

Honglu Temple is in charge of paying tribute, feasting, giving, and seeing off the Siyi.

And this dynasty has not had a tribute from a country for a long time.

Usually those who are sent to Honglu Temple to be officials have either offended people or have no background.

With a background like the concubine's, the support of his wife's family would be cut off. What would he use to compete with the other brothers?

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you accept your fate, if you become an idle prince in the future, your fate will always be there.

And after the dignitaries in the capital knew about this imperial decree, they also understood that from today onwards, only three people would compete for the heir to the throne.

When Ji Fushou received the news, he shook his head without sadness or joy, "Sure enough, the arms can't beat the thighs."

In the Third Prince's Mansion, Li Chongzheng was recuperating from his wounds, he had been injured for a hundred days, he wanted a hero to save his beauty, but instead he was kicked by a horse and broke his ribs, which he regarded as a great disgrace. Thinking of how his brothers laughed at him behind his back, his temper would become even more irritable.

"His Royal Highness broke the red tuanlong tea bowl in glaze again?"

The third concubine Lu Zhuyu heard the maidservant's reply, a sneering smile faintly rose from the corner of her lips, and she ordered lightly, "Throw away the rest of the set of red tea bowls with dragon pattern in the glaze, and replace it with the one for Your Highness next time." A set of medicine bowls with patterns of colorful flowers and birds."

When the maid heard this, a distressed look appeared on her face.

Even Lan's mother at the side also persuaded, "Huangfei, that set of tea bowls with red dragon patterns in the glaze costs more than 500 taels of silver. Isn't it too wasteful to just throw it away like this?"

Lu Zhuyu's eyes fell on the cradle, the three-month-old boy was sleeping soundly, with his small fists on his lips, the indifferent eyes that had heard the maid's reply before gradually melted and filled with love.

"If one bowl is missing, it's not a complete set. Why keep the defective things? Throw them all away."

Although Lu Zhuyu's expression was indifferent, her tone was unquestionable. As her nanny, Mama Lan knew she couldn't persuade her.

Feeling distressed for more than 500 taels of silver, thinking of the bowl with colorful flower and bird patterns that Lu Zhuyu ordered just now, Mother Lan hurriedly said, "Imperial Concubine, Your Highness has been irritable recently, why don't you use more ordinary ones when delivering medicines?" bowl?"

The set of tea bowls with colorful flower and bird patterns cost more than 300 taels. If His Highness broke another bowl, the imperial concubine might throw away the rest.

These are vain silver!
Lu Zhuyu raised her head, raised her eyebrows and glanced at Mama Lan, "Mom, how can His Highness use those ordinary tea bowls?"

Mother Lan wanted to persuade her again that no matter how ordinary the teacup is in the Prince's Mansion, there should be more than ten taels, and dropping more than ten taels is better than dropping hundreds of taels.

Lu Zhuyu waved her hand, blocking what Lan's mother was about to say, "Mom, don't say any more."

Turning to look at the maid again, "Did you hear me clearly?"

The maidservant was brought by Lu Zhuyu from her natal family as a dowry, and she knew her temperament best, so she kept her word. Since Mama Lan couldn't dissuade her, she said swiftly, "Servant maidservant, I heard you clearly, so I'll change it to a teacup with colorful flower and bird patterns for Your Highness to drink." medicine."

Lu Zhuyu waited for the maid to retreat, and when she turned around, she saw Mama Lan's hesitant expression. She smiled softly and said in a relaxed tone, "Why do you feel distressed, mother, these tea bowls are simply taken out from the storeroom, and they will be dropped if they are dropped. .”

The warehouse is the warehouse of the Third Prince's Mansion. In other words, the tea bowls that Li Chong dropped these days are all his own collection.

It wasn't her dowry that was lost, Lu Zhuyu was very generous, if she wanted to throw it, then she would throw it hard, anyway, it wasn't her who felt sorry for her in the end.

Mother Lan sighed, and looked at Lu Zhuyu lovingly, "Miss, why bother to be angry with His Highness, after all, the things in this storeroom are not reserved for the young master in the future?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhuyu sneered, "Mom, don't you think I'm stupid? Zhang'er is only three months old, and he can't wait for more bastards to come out. Let's see what he did, the hero saved the beauty, Ha, what a hero to save the beauty, why don't I see him treat me so hard?"

There was already a hint of resentment on his face, and a hint of anger in his tone.

Mother Lan was dumb for a while, and then said after a long time, "Girl, when His Highness discussed that matter with you, you were not very supportive? Since you didn't want to, why did you say you would take that Miss Ji well?"

Lu Zhuyu showed even more sarcasm, "Mom, jealousy is a serious crime. Your Highness wants to take a concubine. If I stop, the palace will blame me."

Lan's mother disagreed, "Your Highness wants to take concubines. As a concubine, you should be generous, but His Highness is a noble person, even if you take concubines, you can't just take concubines casually. That Miss Ji has a bad reputation. If you refuse for this reason, who can say anything bad about you?"

Lu Zhuyu's expression became even more sarcastic, "Mom, if there is no Miss Ji, there will be Miss Liang and Miss Wang. What's the difference? I can easily handle a person with a bad reputation. Yes, I can't handle it."

Lan's mother frowned, "Then since you've thought everything through, why should you be angry these days?"

Lu Zhuyu's voice turned cold, "Mom, do you think I'm annoyed because of his taking a concubine? I'm angry and distressed for Zhang'er. His Highness wants to take a concubine, and the palace even pointed out a reward for me. Isn't it just for me to be magnanimous?" Virtuous? But I just gave birth to their mother and son, the only grandson of the Holy Majesty, if I really value Zhang'er, why would I take a concubine now? Anyway, I have to wait for Zhang'er to turn three years old, right?"

Lan's mother was speechless for a while, and if she took a concubine, she might make the concubine pregnant, the son of the dragon, the girl must not give the concubine a bowl of medicine, otherwise even the Holy Majesty will be punished.

Lu Zhuyu took a deep breath, "Mom, I know the seriousness, don't worry, and don't try to persuade me, I know what I'm doing, but I just lost my temper, even if His Highness knew about it, he wouldn't blame me. "

She lowered her head and looked at her son in the cradle, a cold light flashed in her eyes, "Zhang'er, don't worry, your father's things will definitely be yours."
