Chapter 200: Holding Dong 77
After the morning court session that day, Prime Minister Sun came to see Jing Qishan again.
"Minister Jing, would you like to come to your house and have a couple of drinks?" Prime Minister Sun invited with a smile.
Jing Qishan declined as usual: "No, my little girl is home alone, and I, as a father, have to go back."
Prime Minister Sun stroked his beard and said, "Minister Jing is really a good father, but don't you care about your wife in the palace?"
Jing Qishan's body stiffened.
He looked at Prime Minister Sun steadily.
Prime Minister Sun said with a smile: "Minister Jing, there is no need to look at me like that. Your wife is in the palace and the Empress is taking care of her. She will be fine."
Jing Qishan seemed to be covered by a layer of cold mist.
That look was cold enough to kill people.
When Prime Minister Sun saw the murderous aura emanating from Jing Qishan, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart.
But he changed his mind and thought: I didn't do anything, Jing Qishan had no reason to kill him.
"Since Minister Jing wants to go back to accompany his daughter, please do as you wish. I will find someone else."
As soon as Prime Minister Sun turned around, Jing Qishan called him: "Prime Minister, I am willing to drink with you."
A hint of pride immediately appeared on Prime Minister Sun's face.
Oh, your wife is in the palace. No matter how capable you are, it is impossible for you to enter the palace and find her without the order to do so.
If she doesn't cooperate, the Queen can find a reason to punish her at any time.
……
Not long after, Jing Qishan and Prime Minister Sun arrived at Liulefang.
The court stipulated that officials were not allowed to visit prostitutes, but Liulefang belonged to the Jiaofangsi, and its main business was selling art rather than bodies, so ministers could also come.
Moreover, when ministers come here to play, they do not enter through the main gate. There is a special side door for them to enter. When they arrive at the side door, someone will take them to a remote and elegant courtyard. It is very private and their privacy will not be leaked.
Several other ministers went with him, all of whom belonged to the Third Prince's party.
Soon after they sat down, the housekeeper Chunniang ordered the women inside to serve them fine wine, and then they drank and enjoyed singing and dancing.
The women who appeared first were also very outstanding, good at singing and dancing. After dancing, they came to the ministers and drank with them.
Only the seat next to Jing Qishan was empty.
It seems that the best is yet to come!
The wind instruments sounded again at this time, and a woman with her face covered slowly appeared on the stage. She first performed a soothing solo dance. As the drum beats became more frequent, her dancing seemed to transform into thousands of troops, spinning and spinning again.
The sound of the wind instrument gradually subsided, the woman slowly stopped, then gradually moved towards Jing Qishan, and finally fell on Jing Qishan.
Above the veil, a pair of big watery eyes looked at him charmingly.
Jing Qishan smiled faintly.
After two lifetimes, the same trick still exists.
But thinking of Li Yujiao who was still in the palace, he did not push Dong Qiqi away. Instead, like in his previous life, he drank the wine she handed him. Then he stood up and hugged Dong Qiqi.
Dong Qiqi was stunned, and so were the other officials.
Prime Minister Sun sneered: Humph, that's what he said, how can a man resist temptation? This is the stunningly beautiful Dong Qiqi!
Then he ordered Dong Qiqi: "Serve Shangshu Jing well. Shangshu Jing is a new noble in the court. He is young and promising. In the end, you are the winner."
Dong Qiqi looked at Jing Qishan with a professional smile in her eyes. She pointed in the direction of the backyard, motioning Jing Qishan to go there.
Jing Qishan then carried Dong Qiqi into the room.
After the door closed, an ambiguous voice was heard from inside.
Prime Minister Sun understood, and then told the musicians: "Keep going!"
The music covered up all the ambiguity.
But the situation in the house still makes people think about it.
……
The old emperor has not been so irritable these past two days, but he still can't recognize people and one side of his body cannot move.
Whenever someone came to pay him a greeting, he would call them "Xiao Fuzi".
Xiao Fuzi was the nickname Huang Xiangfu gave him when he first entered the palace. No one wanted to be called a eunuch, so he was always in a dilemma.
Li Yujiao was responsible for taking care of the old emperor's daily life, and instructing the palace maids and eunuchs to turn him over and feed him every day.
According to her experience, this situation may take at least a month to improve, but it is impossible to return to the previous state. There will be some sequelae. As long as she can take care of herself, it will be good enough.
That day, the queen came again.
The queen walked up to the old emperor and paid her respects to him.
The old emperor on the bed glanced at the queen and said, "Xiao Fuzi, didn't you just come here?"
The queen just felt disgusted.
I originally disliked him because he was too old and sounded like an old man, and now he has incomplete six senses.
Since he couldn't recognize anyone anyway, the queen simply ignored him.
The Queen said to Li Yujiao, "Madam Jing, I heard that Minister Jing went to Liulefang and spent a good night with Dong Qiqi in her room."
Li Yujiao was originally massaging the emperor's legs. When she heard the queen's words, she suddenly felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet.
Then I felt uncomfortable in my chest and my nose started to feel sore.
What was supposed to come finally came!
When the queen saw Li Yujiao's sad look, she felt relieved.
In the capital, there is no such thing as loyalty.
A man can stay with a woman only because he has no better choice.
The Queen comforted Li Yujiao and said, "Madam Jing, don't be too sad. You are the wife of the Shangshu, so you should be tolerant. I think you should just give your husband a few concubines to keep at home to prevent him from going out to have a life of debauchery.
Oh, no, with a man's character, even if you give him more concubines, he will still go out. The more power a man has, the more women he will have. Madam Jing will be fine as long as she lets go. "
Li Yujiao's vision was already blurry, and tears would fall as soon as she blinked.
For the first time, she felt that she could not defy fate.
Dong Qiqi is the heroine of this book, and Jing Qishan is just a supporting character in the book.
Even if she healed him and gave him a child, he would still go in the direction set in the book.
She wiped away her tears and then smiled at the queen: "Thank you for your concern, my lady. I will let it go."
The queen smiled smugly, "It's good that you can let it go. Right now you just need to take good care of the emperor. Don't worry about anything else, and don't rush to leave the palace."
"The concubine obeys!"
……
After the queen left, Li Yujiao stopped what she was doing and stared blankly out the window.
It's raining!
The rain was dripping down on the garden, and a thin layer of mist was covering the whole garden.
Countless memories of her and Jing Qishan flashed through her mind.
At first she was always on guard against him. Although she was with him day and night, she always felt that he ultimately loved Dong Qiqi.
It was not until the time when she was kidnapped by the people of Xiling and he was about to mobilize the entire army to attack the city that she was so moved that she fell in love with him.
Then came the sweet days for the two of them.
