Chapter 158 Meeting an acquaintance, feeling lost? Gaffe?
"Concubine Wei, Your Majesty invites you to go to the Qinzheng Hall to speak." Li Yuzong said respectfully.
Wei Liru smiled brightly and said, "Thank you very much, father-in-law for your invitation. I will go right away."
But she did not move.
Li Yuzong suggested: "I have to go back to the palace to serve you. Please come here quickly."
When Eunuch Li walked away, Wei Liru moved closer to Ji Qingwu.
She already had a guess in her mind as to why Yuan Heng was so close to this Ji family member. It was probably because the Ji family wanted to gain access to the palace under the pretense of contacting the prince.
Wei Li said in a low voice: "Miss Ji, you want to win over the Holy Emperor by building a good relationship with His Highness, but this is not a clever trick."
The emperor will not let him do anything he wants. The prince was approached by someone with alien intentions.
Ji Qingwu looked back at her openly.
A pair of smile dimples appeared on the cheeks, and there seemed to be rays of light rippling in the eyes.
She responded calmly: "Whether this trick is good or not is not up to the Empress."
It still depends on whether the person being won over will accept the trick.
Seeing her calm appearance, Wei Liru couldn't help but sneered and curled her lips.
He said with great pride: "Miss Ji, just wait. The emperor is announcing my entry. I will no longer chat with Miss Ji."
The pride in his words pierced Ji Qingwu's ears.
When the beautiful cherry pink figure entered the Qinzheng Hall, Ji Qingwu looked at the red door that was closed again.
In the eyes of outsiders like Concubine Wei, she and the Ji family may still be of the same spirit, sharing weal and woe.
Only she knew that she did not want to be a pawn in the hands of the Queen Mother to wield power, let alone the kind of puppet that Mrs. Ji said would sacrifice herself for the sake of the family.
However, now that she has returned to Lin'an City, it is difficult to leave easily.
As long as she is still a member of the Ji family, she is destined to be unable to escape the whirlpool surging in the center of power.
She has no intention of entering the palace, but as long as she appears in the palace, any of her actions will be misinterpreted as deliberate flattery.
Even for the sake of Mrs. Qiao and her child, she had to be careful not to reveal even a single bit of the secret that Yuan Heng was her child.
Seeing Ji Qingwu looking at the palace gate not far away, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, he jumped down from the steps and jumped on her, interrupting her meditation.
The little girl raised her head and asked: "Auntie, shall we go home?"
Ji Qingwu asked: "Aren't you going to randomly check the endorsements today?"
He shook his head and replied: "Just now, Master said that His Majesty the Emperor has important matters to deal with, and he doesn't have time to take back the endorsements. We will continue on another day."
< br>Someday
Ji Qingwu suddenly felt frustrated.
She always remembered that he once asked her when he would appear in his true form.
But now that she is here, the door of Qinzheng Hall is no longer open to her.
At first, she could use the excuse that something big was happening in the palace, the emperor was busy with government affairs, and so on, to cover up her feeling of loss.
Until Eunuch Li invited Concubine Wei in, she found that she could no longer convince herself.
Even though she gave herself many reasons for these little guys, she actually looked forward to seeing him from the bottom of her heart.
No one can be happy even if they are rejected.
Ji Qingwu thought to herself, it didn't matter if she couldn't see him, she also felt that she was a little impulsive. This was all because she was disturbed by Emperor Wu Su's actions recently and couldn't figure it out.
She took Jiujiu’s little hand, and the two of them were about to walk out.
Suddenly there was a creaking sound, the thick palace door was slowly pushed open by the chamberlain, and a figure walked out leisurely and stopped in front of the door.
Ji Qingwu looked back.
With just one glance, he was instantly startled, as if he had been immobilized.
The red door of the Qinzheng Palace opened behind him. He was wearing a deep cloud brocade robe, a high black gauze crown on his head, and his handsome sword eyebrows flew into his temples. The red door became his background. Because he was going to the palace for an audience, he had removed his sword, and the scabbard on his waist was shining coldly.
When I first went out, there was still a relaxed and gentle smile on the corner of my mouth, but as soon as I met Ji Qingwu’s eyes, the smile dissipated like mist, and his face What replaced it was a stormy gloom.
Ji Qingwu clenched his hands involuntarily, with complex emotions surging in his heart.
He is back.
Moreover, he returned to Lin'an secretly.
She did not hear the news that General Zhenbei had left camp and was on his way back. Now the rumors outside were spreading that Wei Ting had been assassinated by assassins sent by the Xi Jin Kingdom and was seriously injured and was in critical condition.
Ji Qingwu looked at him carefully, wanting to see if there were any signs of injury on his body, but he couldn't detect it.
Five years have passed, and the border has been bitterly cold. Wei Ting's appearance has not changed much, but his skin color has become much darker, his figure is slender and tall but not rough, and his temperament has become more restrained and calm.
Wei Ting's narrow eyes seemed to be hiding sharp hidden blades, staring at her closely.
"Auntie, it hurts."
A voice whining in pain came from below.
Ji Qingwu then realized that he had inadvertently used too much force and scratched his daughter's little hand.
She quickly looked away, gently rubbed Jiu Jiu’s little hand, and said apologetically: “Mom, please rub it, does it still hurt?”
Jiu Jiu shook his head sensibly, seeming to be aware of her emotions. Fluctuating, she said: "Auntie, Grandma Li must have prepared all the delicious food. Let's go home for dinner."
"Okay, go home."
Ji Qingwu took a deep breath and prepared to leave.
"Brother, what are you looking at?"
Wei Liru walked out of Qinzheng Hall with a smile and appeared behind Wei Ting.
She was so happy when she heard the news that her brother had arrived in Lin'an today, so she waited at the entrance of Qinzheng Hall without waiting for the emperor's summons.
When Wei Ting saw Concubine Wei, his face no longer gloomy.
When he raised his eyes again, his expression was as calm as the tranquil lake surface.
He said: "It's nothing."
Wei Liru also noticed the mother and daughter in front of her. It turned out that they had not left yet.
She said: "This is the fifth young lady that the Ji family found as I mentioned to you in my letter."
Wei Ting repeated in a low voice: "She is Miss Ji Wu."
Except for a hint of surprise, there was no other emotion in the words, as if it was just the first time between him and Ji Qingwu Meet strangers.
Wei Liru saw his eyes falling on the little person next to her, and then said: "The girl next to her is her daughter."
Wei Ting looked at the little girl Then he turned to look at the slim light green figure.
He squinted his left eye slightly, his breath sank, but he still didn't speak.
After hearing Concubine Wei's introduction, Ji Qingwu's steps to leave suddenly stopped. Although she had imagined meeting Wei Ting again, she never expected that it would be in such a situation.
After the initial stupor, she has returned to normal.
Ji Qingwu and Wei Ting are not strangers. After all, they have been together for a long time, and she knows his preferences well. Just like the calm look on his chin at this time, it means that he is restraining something. An impulse.
She should walk over gracefully and say a few words, but there are so many informants in the palace that this environment is really not suitable.
A gust of wind blew up, and Ji Qingwu smoothed his hair that had been blown away by the breeze.
