Chapter 0052 Refuse to be a concubine
The setting sun slanted on the glazed tiles of Anqing Palace, giving the entire palace a faint yellow glow.
Luo Jiaojiao reluctantly followed Yan'er to the door of the palace. Yan'er stopped at the door and reported back: "Mother! Luo Xiaoniang is here!"
"Come in!" Bo Ji's voice was a little lazy.
Luo Jiaojiao lowered her head and walked into the palace door. The lights were already lit in the palace. A table of sumptuous delicacies was presented in front of her.
"I've met your empress!" Luo Jiaojiao said as usual.
"Come! Sit down and have dinner with me!" Bo Ji saw the energetic Luo Jiaojiao, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Yes!" Luo Jiaojiao knelt down opposite Bo Ji. She lost her appetite for delicious food for the first time.
"Come! Try the Huzhou fish!" Bo Ji gave Luo Jiaojiao a chopstick of fish and put it on the jade plate in front of her.
"Thank you, empress!" Luo Jiaojiao carefully picked up a small piece, put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully.
Bo Langjun, who was standing in the shadow of the corridor, raised his eyebrows. Is this still the Luo Jiaojiao he knew?
Luo Jiaojiao was very tired after eating this meal. Although the food was delicious, she was looking forward to finishing the dinner as soon as possible.
Bo Ji finally put down her chopsticks, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth. Luo Jiaojiao also put down her chopsticks and rinsed her mouth.
Yan'er ordered the palace servants to put away the dishes and serve tea. Luo Jiaojiao held the tea in her upper hand and looked down at the floating tips of tea leaves in the tea cup.
"Do you like my little brother?" Bo Ji blew the hot air from the cup, took a sip of tea and slowly got to the point.
Luo Jiaojiao's hand shook and the tea in the cup almost spilled out. She quickly put the cup on the table without saying a word.
"Although he can't give you the title of his wife, he will never treat you badly!" Bo Ji's next words made Luo Jiaojiao almost bite her lip.
"The slave family and Mr. Bo are just having fun in Beijing, and they have no personal relationship with each other! Please give me a warning!" Luo Jiaojiao's meaning was already obvious.
"Oh?" Bo Ji looked at Luo Jiaojiao in surprise. Many famous ladies in the country wanted to serve their younger brother, not to mention being a concubine, even if they were to be a maid, they would have no complaints.
Bao Langjun, who was in the corridor, looked at Luo Jiaojiao with a cold look on his face. Bao Langjun, who had tasted rejection for the first time, pursed his lips and clenched his fingers.
"Go ahead!" Bo Ji couldn't bear to force Luo Jiaojiao to marry her younger brother, Bao Langjun, because she herself had been the one who had no choice but to do so.
After Luo Jiaojiao saluted, she quickly left Anqing Palace. She breathed a sigh of relief after exiting the palace door.
Damn Mr. Bo! There's no way you can take me as your concubine! Luo Jiaojiao grabbed a blooming flower by the roadside. Before she could exert any force, her wrist suddenly hurt and she had to
Let go.
"Who?" Luo Jiaojiao turned around and saw Bao Langjun with an angry look on his face. She couldn't help but take a few steps back before she could stand upright.
Bo Langjun slowly approached Luo Jiaojiao, his eyes as sharp as knives.
"What are you going to do?" Luo Jiaojiao opened her beautiful water-cut eyes and moved back.
"Have you really decided not to marry me?" Bo Langjun stopped and asked through gritted teeth.
"Don't marry!" Luo Jiaojiao saw that Bo Langjun was no longer pushing towards her, so she clutched her chest and gasped.
"Then you will never get married in this life!" Bo Langjun said the harsh words and walked away quickly.
"Huh!" Luo Jiaojiao's two hands plucked the flowers and plants around her, pitying those innocent flowers, and the leaves fell to the ground one by one.
Luo Jiaojiao was still very angry when she returned to Xiangxinyuan. She knocked over the tea Xuan'er poured for her and burned her little hand.
Xuan'er carefully applied ointment to Luo Jiaojiao's hand. Luo Jiaojiao looked at Xuan'er gently blowing her hand, and said calmly: "I'm sorry!"
How can a master apologize to his slave? Xuan'er was stunned for a moment.
"I'm sleepy!" Luo Jiaojiao kicked off her shoes and got on the bed. Xuan'er helped her take off her clothes and put out the candle.
Where can Luo Jiaojiao sleep while lying on the bed? It's not that she doesn't like being with Mr. Bo, but she doesn't want to be a concubine. She doesn't understand the stakes of government affairs and marriage, and just wants to marry her beloved one day.
People live in both places.
The injury on Bo Langjun's back was healed, and even after using Lao Langzhong's ointment, there was no scar left. However, his illness was getting better and worse, and he was missing the morning session again.
Although King Dai was a little used to the morning court without Bo Langjun, he always felt that something was a little strange. After the court, he summoned Liu Neishi, the general manager of the palace.
After entering the royal study room, Liu Neishi knelt down. The king looked at Liu Neishi kneeling on the ground, and it took him a long time to ask: "What did Mr. Bao do in the palace of my mother and concubine yesterday?"
After listening to King Dai's question, Chamberlain Liu lay on the ground and did not dare to raise his head.
"Answer what I say! Otherwise, you, the chief chamberlain, will stop doing this job!" The king's eyes became gloomy.
"I just met Luo Xiaoniang! Empress Bo even let her have dinner with her, and Luo Xiaoniang refused to marry Mr. Bao as a concubine!"
"Ha!" King Dai was actually happy after hearing Chamberlain Liu's last words. He also felt frustrated sometimes?
"Okay! You can go down! I will keep this matter a secret for you!" King Dai was in a good mood and no longer pursued Bao Langjun for taking sick leave and not attending the morning court.
Luo Jiaojiao went to Deming Palace to visit her sister Luo Tianer. Along the way, she heard the palace people talking privately about Bo Langjun's absence from the morning court due to illness.
Could it be that he was mad at himself? Luo Jiaojiao felt uneasy.
Luo Tianer was very happy when he saw his sister Luo Jiaojiao.
Luo Jiaojiao felt strange looking at the coat and shoes her sister had prepared for her child. She was playing with the small yellow tiger-head shoes in the palm of her hand when she took the shoes away with one big hand.
"You..." Luo Jiaojiao saw that it was Dai Wang who had taken away the shoes from her hand, and she swallowed what she said next.
"Jiaojiao likes our unborn child!" Luo Tian'er was helped by Dai Wang to sit on the bed.
"This is the crystal rock sugar pear. Come on! Try it!" Dai Wang ignored Luo Jiaojiao's presence, picked up the sugar pear he sent and fed it into Luo Tian'er's mouth.
Qing'er saw Luo Jiaojiao standing there blankly looking at the king and the princess, so he quietly walked to her side and pulled her sleeves.
Luo Jiaojiao then knowingly bowed to the Prince Dai and his wife and exited Mingde Palace.
The brother-in-law really didn't say anything to his sister! Luo Jiaojiao did not blame Dai Wang for always disturbing their sisters' get-togethers, but envied their deep love as husband and wife.
It would be great if Bao Langjun could do this! Luo Jiaojiao felt very sad when she thought that Bao Langjun wanted to take her as his concubine. She almost bumped into someone because she lowered her head and thought about her thoughts.
"Luo Xiaoniang? How come it's you?" Yang Zisheng saw Luo Jiaojiao and opened the folding fan, and couldn't help but look happy on his face.
"Yang Zisheng?" Luo Jiaojiao did not expect to meet Yang Zisheng in the palace, and was stunned for a moment.
"The king has conferred on me the position of Wei Qing, and I am rushing to thank the emperor for his kindness!" Yang Zisheng had a look of joy on his face.
"My little lady, I would like to congratulate Yang Langjun!" Luo Jiaojiao gave Yang Zisheng a gift.
"Thank you! Don't forget to attend the banquet!" Yang Zisheng strode towards the imperial study room.
Luo Jiaojiao wanted to tell him that the acting king was at the princess's place, but she stopped talking.
"Let him wait!" A naughty smile appeared on Luo Jiaojiao's face.
Nothing in Daiwang's palace could escape Bo Langjun's attention. When Bo Langjun saw the message about Luo Jiaojiao and Yang Zisheng meeting in the palace, he felt his blood rising and he vomited.
A mouthful of blood.
"Langjun!" Jiang Yu saw him at the door and rushed to the front of Bo Langjun's case.
Bo Langjun held the piece of silk tightly in his hand and said, "Take it up."
Jiang Yu didn't know why Bo Langjun suddenly vomited blood. He looked at the blood stains sprayed on several cases and said anxiously: "I'd better ask the imperial doctor to take a look at it for you!"
"Don't go!" Bao Langjun stopped and said angrily, and then he started coughing.
Jiang Yu quickly poured him a cup of hot tea and sent it to his bedside.
"Go down! I'll be fine if I take a rest!" Bao Langjun was suffering from a heart disease, and he knew it very well.
