The mad concubine of the group loves the world

Chapter 20
Xu did not expect that Lu Wanlan would enter the palace in such a disguise, and all the concubines in the palace had just thought about the sarcasm, but at this time they couldn't use even a word.

He also saw that she was being supported by two maids in the palace, and bowed one leg to salute to him: "The concubine has seen the empresses of the palaces."

Although the posture is funny, it is very respectful, and it seems that there is no fault.

The empress is currently bedridden, and the affairs of the sixth palace are temporarily managed by the empress dowager.The concubine, who was sitting dignifiedly, had no choice but to stare with big eyes, watching the attitude of the person in the main seat, and dared not say much.

But he didn't want a sneer to come from the queen mother's side at this time.

Don't need to think too much, there is no one else who can be so presumptuous on this occasion, except Ronggui Wang Xueru.

The Queen Mother's eyes fell on Lu Wanlan calmly, and then moved away lightly.

Brushing his sleeves, he picked up the teacup, touched his lips lightly, and then put it back in place, his every move exuded luxury and grace.

When the tea in the cup ran out of heat, he looked at Lu Wanlan and said, "How did you get hurt like this? Stop worrying about it and give me a seat for free."

Lu Wanlan lowered her eyes to thank her, and sat in the last seat on the right, next to a concubine whose name she couldn't name.

"The concubine heard that Princess Yan's crown dress hadn't been finished yet, and the Empress Dowager specially gave her some green phoenix butterfly walkers to support the scene, so I came here to have a look, but I didn't expect that today I don't have such a blessing."

Wang Xueru chuckled, and then her hair jingled with jewels, making her laughter even more noisy.

Before entering the palace, she had been at odds with Lu Wanlan. Although Wang and Lu were of equal status, there was no great general among the Wang family brothers.

In the past, if I bumped into it in the past, I could only deliberately avoid it, for fear that this yaksha would mess up and I wouldn't be able to get cheap.

Now, although she is only a noble person, she is the empress dowager's niece, and she is supported by the queen's cousin, so she is used to being arrogant in the palace.

Seeing that Lu Wanlan had also become the royal daughter-in-law, he was eager to dampen her arrogance.

Lu Wanlan, who was sitting upright, showed a smile on his face, and replied lightly:
"What Ronggui said is true. The concubine originally wanted to pay her respects with the queen mother's reward, but as a concubine, she represents the prince in every word and deed. She would never dare to make a mistake and lose the face of the palace."

As he spoke, he cast a smiling look at Wang Xueru: "I am envious of nobles, who don't have to be bound by the court clothes and crowns, and wanton and unrestrained."

"You!" Wang Xueru couldn't help being impatient at these words, she dared to ridicule that she had no rank and her status was inferior to hers!
Then he clenched his fists and stood up: "You are so proud! Who doesn't know that King Yan didn't want to accept you into the mansion at all, and you rushed to lick your face. I don't think you look like a prince in a dragon robe, If you haven't performed the canonization ceremony now, you can't be regarded as a princess!"

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager frowned without a breath.Although her face was calm, she only glanced at Wang Xueru with meaningful eyes, and she calmed down.

But Lu Wanlan was holding a handkerchief to cover the corner of her mouth that smiled.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the status of the prince and concubine was the same as that of the imperial concubine, second only to the empress.

Without the golden seal of the treasure book, it would not be counted.

However, regarding this canonization, although the courtiers are still arguing with the Holy One, there is still no conclusion.

But the empress dowager acquiesced to this marriage, and everyone knew about it, otherwise she would not have been allowed to come to Cishou Palace to pay her respects.

Although the concubines in the room wanted to make things difficult, they never dared to embarrass the Empress Dowager. Unexpectedly, Wang Xueru was so bold.

The hall fell silent in an instant, but saw Lu Wanlan dragging his injured leg, fell to the ground with a thud, picked up the handkerchief, covered his face and sobbed:

"The life of my concubine is really miserable. Unexpectedly, although the prince and the common people were moved by the infatuation, it still misunderstood the sisters-in-law of the emperor..."

Then he took two steps forward and climbed on the Empress Dowager's feet:

"Fortunately, the lord borrowed the clothes from brother Zheng Wang. If he really came to pay his respects with the empress dowager's gift, he might be laughed out of his teeth by the honorable man~ Please take good care of the empress dowager~"

Hearing her tearful cry, Wang Xueru was so angry that she didn't know how to refute.

The concubines present could not help whispering when they heard that she was actually wearing the clothes of Princess Zheng.

"This, is this borrowed from King Zheng?"

"Ah~ Concubine Zheng passed away at the age of seventeen. On this day of great joy, I guess there is really nothing I can do about it, otherwise I wouldn't be able to touch this brow and wear an old dress..."

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs is really confused..."

The queen mother didn't realize that Lu Wanlan, who had always been arrogant, made such a move, which made it difficult for her to say anything.

Although his face was unnatural, he still sighed softly: "Come on, someone, help Princess Yan up, how does it look like crying?"

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your love." Lu Wanlan sat down again, still sobbing with red eyes.

Seeing the empress dowager's attitude suddenly eased, the concubines immediately greeted her with smiles and exchanged pleasantries.

"How did the princess hurt her leg?"

"Yes, there are rumors outside that you carried the coffin to get married, but is it true?"

"I also heard that there was an assassin attack on the night of the wedding?"

Lu Wanlan raised her head and looked at these girls, they all wore the same clothes and looked similar, and it was impossible to tell who was who.

I had no choice but to continue to hide my face and confide: "My lord is not in good health, and my concubine has no choice but to make such a bad plan. I know it's unbecoming, and I'm here today to plead guilty to the empress dowager."

As he spoke, he lifted this leg again, pretending to kneel: "Who would have thought that an assassin would appear, this concubine's leg was injured by the assassin..."

"Yo~"

When everyone heard that the story of the assassin was indeed true, they couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Fortunately, the assassin has confessed..."

While talking, Lu Wanlan glanced around from the thin silk handkerchief, carefully observing everyone's expressions.

But I saw that there was nothing unusual about them.

Almost all the daughters of Dazhou's prominent families are here. If the mastermind behind the scenes is really inside, maybe they will be disturbed and make some moves, and then I will gain something else.

Seeing her aunt and other concubines warming up to Lu Wanlan, Wang Xueru was furious:

"Stop pretending! I don't know your trick yet! Stop acting here!"

Hearing this scolding, Lu Wanlan started to make thunder but not rain again.

"How dare you pretend to be garlic! Queen Mother, she is faking it! She was not injured at all!"

After speaking, he rushed towards Lu Wanlan, grabbed the white bandage with both hands and began to tear it.

The scene was suddenly chaotic, and the Queen Mother threw the teacup out with one hand:

"presumptuous!"

When everyone heard the sound, they immediately fell to the ground, not daring to make a sound.

Because of the favoritism of the empress dowager, she is young, beautiful and has a strong family, Wang Xueru has always been arrogant and indulgent, except for Concubine Xie, she never puts others in her eyes.

Unexpectedly, Auntie would be so angry, Wang Xueru also knelt down: "Auntie, Lu Wanlan is really faking it!"

"Shut up!" Seeing that she was disregarding etiquette at this time, the Empress Dowager suppressed her anger, "You still dare to talk nonsense in front of the Ai family, and you will be punished for half a month!"

"Aunt~" Wang Xueru realized the seriousness of the problem when she heard that it was true, and quickly defended with tears in her eyes, "It's not the concubine talking nonsense, it's her!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the maid next to Concubine Xie: "She is the one who explained that she saw Lu Wanlan kicking down the gate of the palace and arresting the assassin..."

"Mr. Ronggui, don't wrong your servants." Unexpectedly, Wang Xueru would bite at random, and the maid immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, "The Empress Dowager empress knows that the servants have been waiting in Changchun Palace, how could the servants know about this?"

"It was you who told me!" Seeing that the maid was pretending to be nothing, Wang Xueru pounced on her again.

The queen mother was so angry that she wanted to throw the teacup again, but found that there was nothing to drop on the table.

But at this moment, Eunuch Ning, who was outside the door, ran up to him with a solemn face: "Your Majesty, Minister of Rites Duan is here to see you, please move to the Royal Garden, if not, he will die to show his ambition."

"Why did he ask to see Ai's family? Why didn't he wait outside the hall?"

"It's the canonization of Princess Yan, it's just that Mr. Duan can't come..."

"What's up with him?"

The Queen Mother was even more angry at this time, this Duan Lin was so arrogant!How dare you let Aijia go to see him?

But seeing Eunuch Ning's expression flickering, he approached the Empress Dowager and said softly:
"Master Duan, he's stuck in the dog hole in the maze of the imperial garden and can't get out..."
