Chapter 331 Aunt
"Mother, why are you so bored in your tent? It's a rare opportunity for you to leave the palace, so why don't you go out and ride a horse? I just saw Concubine Hui and Concubine Yu riding ponies to my father's tent."
The sixth prince Qin Mingjun, dressed in a clean and simple hunting suit, ran happily into the tent, then quickly stopped.
He leaned forward with his hands on his chest, half-lying on the long table, and asked his mother with a smile, looking innocent and lively.
Concubine Zhen, Lu Xinyin, sat behind a long desk, playing with an ivory-carved folding fan in her hand.
The smoke from the tea at hand rose up, blurring her pretty face and hiding the emotions in her almond-shaped eyes.
"Mother doesn't know how to ride a horse."
Lu Xinyin put down the folding fan in her hand, picked up the handkerchief, and gently wiped the sweat off Qin Mingjun's forehead, and whispered to him: "Mother is waiting for Lady Yiguo, Haitangguo's aunt."
The Sixth Prince Qin Mingjun nodded and immediately understood.
His aunt, Lady Yiguo Lu Liniang, was an extraordinary woman and much more important than his grandfather Lu Jingren, who became the Duke of Feng'en.
My maternal grandfather, Lu Jingren, was granted the title of Marquis of Cheng'en because of his sister, Empress Dowager Lu, and was promoted to Duke of Feng'en thanks to his daughter, Lady Yiguo.
Although Lu Liniang was a heretic and had a bad reputation, she was indeed a very capable woman, and his mother's promotion to the position of concubine was due to her contribution.
His mother had said to him that if he wanted to be the crown prince, he could not rely on his grandfather and uncle for money and power. Instead, his aunt, Lady Yiguo Lu Liniang, was not only trusted by his father, but also had a considerable family fortune.
Winning over someone is not something that can be done with empty words. He is still young and does not understand what his aunt wants, and he has nothing to offer her.
Although his mother asked him to contact his aunt, it could not be said that he was trying to win her over. It could only be said that he was trying to leave a good impression on his aunt and win her favor and a little intimacy.
Meihua hurried into the tent and reported, "Your Highness, the Sixth Prince, Madam Yi is here."
"Invite her in quickly."
Lu Xinyin suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart and spoke softly.
Lu Liniang came in hurriedly, took a look, said hello, and then found a seat and sat down.
"Meet my sister and nephew."
"I met my aunt."
The sixth prince Qin Mingjun ignored Lu Li'niang's rude behavior and saluted with a smile.
"Not only does my nephew look like Your Majesty, he is even more like him in terms of demeanor. When he smiles, he looks even more like Your Majesty, the smiling tiger who eats people without leaving any bones. It scares me to death."
As Lu Liniang said this, she moved forward unceremoniously and pinched Qin Mingjun's face.
"aunt!"
The sixth prince Qin Mingjun pouted and raised his hands angrily, trying to pull away Lu Liniang's hands that were pinching his face.
He shook his head, looking clumsy as if he was trying to break free but couldn't.
Seeing the Sixth Prince struggling clumsily with his little face that looked like Qin Zhi, Lu Li'niang became even more excited.
If she couldn't bully Qin Zhi, could she not bully his son?
Laugh to death.
Few emperors in ancient times lived long lives. Should she choose a prince, support him, and make him her puppet?
The idea of playing regent for fun flashed through Lu Liniang's mind, but when she thought of that terrible man Qin Zhi, this playful desire was instantly extinguished.
Everyone will grow old, so let's wait until Qin Zhi becomes old and confused.
It’s definitely not because she’s a coward.
She is a wise woman who knows the times.
If she had jumped up and down, stirred up trouble, and challenged Qin Zhi's authority when Qin Zhi was still awake, she would definitely have been beaten into a pulp, right?
