The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
15. Lu Jing Yu Yang Unloved
Lu Jing Yu was taken to a large hall where a large table was placed. Complete with a variety of foods that according to Du Mei is the favorite food of the original Lu Jing Yu. Yet lu Jing Yu was currently looking at the food reluctantly. Given how not in his eyes food cooked at the residence of King Rui which he said was included in the list of ten best chefs. Somehow the taste of the cuisine in Prime Minister Lu's residence is.
Lu Qin Hao sat down the main discussion. Du Mei sat next to him. Although Du Mei had not married her as a legitimate wife but rather just a concubine, all this time no one had ever reprimanded sitting in the place that Lu Jing Yu was supposed to be occupying. As a legitimate child, Lu Jing Yu's status was clearly higher than Du Mei from the start. But being used to it and not taking it as a mistake, Du Mei immediately sat there.
Aunt Wu who saw that frowned her wrinkled forehead. Then looked at Lu Jing Yu who was still standing and her face turned dark. Is it like this teaching in the Prime Minister's residence where a concubine can take the place of a legitimate daughter.
"Mrs Du. Why are you sitting there?" Aunt Wu could not let her master who was Empress Rui not get a decent courtier or there would be rumors to spread the next day about how low Empress Rui was in her residence. Of course this would also have a bad impact on the reputation of the King Rui residence as a whole.
"Is something wrong?" Du Mei gritted her brows in confusion.
"Didn't that seat belong to Empress Rui as the legitimate daughter of this prime minister's residence? I wonder how the Prime Minister ordained his residence?" Du Mei's face immediately sank. For many years no one has ever borne any more of this problem which is the only thing he hates the most. His status. Which made her always feel inferior compared to the other mistresses every time they gathered. Right now, Aunt Wu was hitting right where she was the deepest injured.
"Sorry Aunt Wu. It's just our habits. Because it's too used to it to feel like there's nothing wrong when someone else joins in." Du Mei tried to smile. He gritted his teeth as he spoke.
"Although a habit should also be accustomed to good things. Wouldn't it spread outside also damage the reputation of the Prime Minister's Residence?"
"Aunt Wu is right." Du Mei was still trying to hold back her smile. Slowly he stood up and walked away. Giving way for Lu Jing Yu to sit in her place.
"Thank you, aunt." Said Lu Jing Yu as she passed Du Mei casually. Sit in place elegantly. Du Mei and Lu Jing Yi looked at him with hostility. They were really impatient to wait for the next retaliation.
After lunch in the hall, Lu Jing Yu went to the Prime Minister's study room to be at the prime minister's request. Aunt Wu and Xiao Bei were waiting outside. As ordered by Lu Jing Yu before he entered. As a father and son couple they need privacy to talk.
There is not much that the father-of-two couple has to say. Especially the prime minister who asked how Ku Jing Yu lived two days in the Rui residence and how Pei Zhang Xi treated her.
"Pretty good." Lu Jing Yu's reply was brief. His meaning was quite good as long as Pei Zhang Xi stayed away from him. Everything would be easy to avoid that tragic death.
Lu Jing Yu found out from the novel that Lu Qin Hao loved his daughter very much. But his daughter had a bad temper that would not be willing to accept criticism from others. In the past hell often fought over trivial matters.
This is also a factor in the death penalty. Back then Lu Jing Yu no longer had the support of the Prime Minister and was eventually taken advantage of by Du Mei to approach Lu Jing Yu with her sinister plans for her own sake. Huh! This time he had to mend this good relationship with his father later.
"That's good then."lu Qin Hao sighed. Sleman's daughter is fine she feels relieved.
"It's late. Go back to your pavilion and rest. We just got back in the afternoon." Lu Qin Hao looked at his daughter today reminding her of his late beloved wife. Heart warms.
"Thank you Dad. Dad also had to retail a break. Don't mind too much." It felt warm suddenly entering into his heart as his daughter gave him some attention. This is truly a regular quarterly achievement.
"I'll excuse you then." Lu Jing Yu got up from her chair and walked out of the study under Xiao Bei's gaze. In the past every time Lu Jing Yu was summoned to the study must have been because she made a mistake and was punished. With his emotions, the sound of the glassware would soon be scattered a few minutes after Lu Jing Yu entered. This time it looks calm. Not even a single Sound reached the outside of the room.
Lu Jing Yu ignored Xiao Bei's astonished gaze and walked towards his room while he was still living in the Prime Minister's residence which was strangely in his memory.
Pei Zhang Xi had just finished dealing with the matter at the Yunguang Bureau. This morning a group of people came to the bureau for a murder case. That's why Pei Zhang Xi can't come home. Although Pei Zhang Xi did not like Lu Jing Yu. He was still a prince who held the custom.
"Did that woman cause trouble today?" What he meant was whether Lu Jing Yu was throwing a tantrum when he didn't come home with her. Because according to her personality, the woman would definitely be furious.
"No, Your Majesty. The empress this morning went to visit the prime minister's residence for the ceremony." Mo Han reported calmly beside her. He was also astonished when he heard this from the person in the residence.
"So obedient?" Pei Zhang Xi raised his eyebrows.
"Right be Your Majesty." Mo Han nodded.
"alright. Because he's been obedient we should give him a gift, right?" Pei Zhang Xi said nonchalantly before jerking his body up on the horse.
"Please forgive me for not welcoming King Rui." Lu Qin Hao immediately advanced.
"No problem. I'm just here to pick up the empress."
"alright. I'll immediately order someone to call him." Lu Qin Hao gestured at the servant beside him but was forbidden by Pei Zhang Xi.
"If the Prime Minister doesn't mind, may I meet him myself?"
"This, of course, may Your Majesty. Someone came and took King Rui to Sakura's pavilion."
Pei Zhang Xi stood up and walked following the butler towards the Sakura pavilion. Lu Jing Yu's Room.
Having come so suddenly, no one knew Pei Zhang Xi's arrival. The servants were still happy to gossip around where of course this was still regarding the unappreciated Lu Jing Yu in King Rui's residence after the wedding.
The waiter conversation was not too loud. But for a martial artist like Pei Zhang Xi and Mo Han. Their voices were clearly heard in the ears of the two.
"really so. That's why I always say that the second lady will always be better than the first lady. The second lady is not just pretty. But he also has a good nature. Not like the first lady who always acts herself."
"I also agree. Now that getting married not getting affection is also a lesson for her."
"In that case I feel that king Rui is really poor marrying a bad first lady."
Mo Han who heard the name of his Master called looked at the servants who were still unaware of the party they were talking about.
"I did not expect the servants that they could interfere in the affairs of their employers. I was so surprised." Mo Han glanced sharply at the butler who was escorting them.
"Ehem, don't you guys have any other jobs so have a lot of free time here." The butler quickly rebuked the servant.
"Head... Head servant. Forgive us." The group of servants immediately knelt down asking for forgiveness.
"No matter what you have dared to speak ill of first lady. Go to the back hall and accept the punishment."
"The chief servant begs to forgive us. We don't have to repeat it anymore. Please forgive us for once."
"Guard! Take these ignorant servants to the back hall." A few guards came and dragged a group of servants away quickly before they had time to beg for mercy.
Seeing the servants being dragged away by force, Pei Zhang Xi did not change his expression at all. But just as he recalled how the servants were talking bad things about Lu Jing Yu he somehow felt uneasy.
