The mad concubine of the group loves the world

Chapter 34
Autumn is cool and pleasant, and Ping An Street is full of traffic and crowds.

The lanterns hanging from the shops along the street light up sequentially as the night gets darker.The multicolored wine flags are well arranged and fluttering in the breeze, complemented by the soft moonlight and overlapping shadows.

The Lu Family's Tian Fu Lou, today's business is a little bit bleak.

Although a few days ago after Patriarch Lu got married, the storyteller Lao Mengtou's jokes were often full of friends and applause.

But recently, I don't know what kind of restaurant opened opposite, and half of the customers were robbed.

The fourth master Lu Yunzhao felt that it was inappropriate to always be like this, so today he took his second brother Lu Yunfan to find out the news.

Just as the two of them stepped into the small restaurant with an ordinary appearance, Lu Wanlan called out "Second Brother" in the carriage speeding down the street, and was drowned in the rolling sound of the rut.

"What's the matter, Lan'er? Who did you see?" Concubine Shu, who was sitting upright in the car together, also poked her head over.

With a smile in her eyes, Lu Wanlan put Concubine Shu's arm on her arm and said softly, "My daughter-in-law saw my brother just now, I don't know what they are doing in that shop at this time?"

"Oh, that's it. After delivering the oranges today, you can rest early, and you can go back to see them tomorrow morning." Concubine Shu knows that Lu Wanlan has been doted on by her brothers since she was a child, and now she will naturally be homesick. For two days, Yan'er was not in the mansion."

"Well, thank you, Concubine Mother." Lu Wanlan smiled sweetly, never expecting Concubine Shu to be so tolerant to herself.

But when he thought about giving oranges, he rolled his almond eyes again: "But concubine mother, we only say that oranges are sweet in the house, how could the queen mother know? It's so late..."

Before he could finish speaking, his little hand was firmly shaken: "That's why, Mother Concubine asked you to tidy up the people in the house."

Speaking of this, Concubine Shu sighed slightly again: "Yan'er doesn't care about these things, but with you, Concubine Mother can feel more at ease."

Then he patted Lu Wanlan's heavily bound legs lightly, and said softly:

"When you enter the palace, you will be the same as last time. This Wang Osmanthus flower, maybe there is some bad water in her belly. When will such sour oranges not be able to be delivered, and you are asked to enter the palace to deliver them so late."

"So the concubine mother is worried about her daughter-in-law, so she wants to follow?" At this moment, Lu Wanlan finally understood why Concubine Shu heard the Queen Mother's summons just now, and insisted on following her without saying a word.

I didn't expect my mother-in-law's care to be so meticulous, and I couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in my heart.

"With Mother and Concubine here, you don't have to be afraid."

"Ok!"

While speaking, the chariots and horses arrived at the gate of the palace. With the previous experience, the eunuchs prepared the sedan chairs and serving maids early. When they arrived at the Cishou Palace, they helped Lu Wanlan wait outside the palace.

Eunuch Ning saluted Lu Wanlan first, but he didn't expect Concubine Shu to follow, and greeted An with a smile on his face: "I've seen Concubine Shu, it's been this hour, why are you here?"

"Hmph, the empress dowager also knows, it's getting late now? How come the daughter-in-law of the Ai family can come, but the Ai family can't?"

A series of rhetorical questions were so imposing that no one could refute them. Eunuch Ning originally wanted to ask her to sit in the side hall temporarily, waiting for the Queen Mother to show her.But after seeing Concubine Shu's posture, the mouth of the lotus tongue seemed to be stuffed with mud, and she could no longer utter a word, so she could only go in and report.

As the red door opened, the intermittent sobbing sound from the hall came from this gap.

How could there be a man in the Queen Mother's Hall?

Lu Wanlan instantly became alert, her puzzled gaze was exactly the same as that of Concubine Shu.

It stands to reason that there is still an hour before the key will be released at the palace gate. If there is no important matter, the queen mother will not call them into the palace, and there are many concubines in the harem, let alone summon the foreign men together.

Who will this person be?
And why is it here?
When he was thinking about countermeasures, he saw that Eunuch Ning had bowed his head to invite.

The man in the hall cried even more, Lu Wanlan's eyes were fixed, and he walked in without saying a word.

The queen dowager sitting on the main seat saw the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law coming together in front of the palace, the concubine Shu treated her respectfully, but Lu Wanlan on the side still looked funny.

She couldn't help but look slightly angry, her knife-like eyes slashed fiercely, every inch of sharpness seemed to cut her body into pieces.

But Lu Wanlan didn't seem to feel it, she just lowered her eyes and said slowly:

"The concubine sees the queen mother. Today, I come here with my mother and concubine to pay my respects to the empress. I specially present the fresh fruits and vegetables from the palace for the empress to taste."

The atmosphere in the hall was like a black cloud, and the concubines were already in fear.But from Lu Wanlan's voice, the Queen Mother couldn't hear the slightest ups and downs of fear.

What a calm!

"Give me a seat." In the lazy tone, no joy or anger could be heard.

Although Concubine Shu didn't want to get close to this old poisonous woman, but depending on her status, she could only go forward and sit down beside her.

Seeing that Lu Wanlan was already seated, she spoke first: "The Empress Dowager invited our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to come here today. Could it be that she is just in a hurry to eat some melons and fruits?"

As he said that, he glanced ahead lightly, seeing the jade-faced young man crying with pear blossoms in the rain, he couldn't help smiling: "Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager asked this actress to prepare a good show."

The Queen Mother has always known Concubine Shu's temperament, and she always speaks with a gun and a stick when talking to herself, but she can't find something to say.Don't be upset at this time:
"My sister was joking, what kind of actress is this man?"

"The empress dowager called my concubines like that, it's really outrageous." Dowager Shu didn't care to be called a sister of this person, and before she finished speaking, she quickly saluted.

"Hey, we sisters have been talking about it for many years, and we can't break it."

After hearing this, the maid next to her hurriedly helped Concubine Shu back to her original place.

The rest of the concubines have never seen the two elders quarreling with each other, they just didn't dare to speak, but now they dare not even raise their heads.

However, Wang Xueru, the noble man, stepped forward:
"Empress Dowager, you called Princess Yan into the palace in a hurry, isn't it just to interrogate her face? It just happened to let Concubine Shu open her eyes and recognize the true face of this daughter-in-law!"

Lu Wanlan, who had been sitting on the outermost side all the time, raised her eyelids and glanced at this insolent woman, then lowered her eyelids again, her long eyelashes like butterfly wings concealed the murderous intent gushing out of her phoenix eyes.

Unexpectedly, this Wang Xueru would get rid of the restraint so quickly.

Although she is so stupid that there is no cure, but as long as the queen mother does not fall, and the Wang family does not fall, she can always jump out and disgust herself.

However, Concubine Shu said that everything should be left to her, so Lu Wanlan did not answer, and still looked respectful.

Concubine Shu at the side sneered in her heart, and sure enough, giving oranges was just an excuse, the real moth, waiting here:
"Oh? The concubine can't understand Ronggui's words. What face? What does it have to do with my daughter-in-law?"

The Empress Dowager picked up the teacup and brushed it, her words were full of gloating:

"Hey~ my good sister, it's because you said you wanted to take care of your daughter-in-law's pregnancy, so you refused to go back to the palace. According to Yi Ai's family, you should be more careful about the fetus in the womb of the princess, otherwise you will take care of my sister for a long time. Know who to work hard for."

"What does the Queen Mother mean by this!"

"Huh!" Seeing the sudden change in Concubine Shu's attitude, the Queen Mother gave the teacup a heavy meal, "The meaning of mourning the family is the clearest. According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, all officials who are prostitutes have a staff of sixty. In front of the head, it is a crime that cannot be punished!"

"The blood of the Xiao family cannot be confused! Sister, you have been blinded, and the eyes of the Ai family cannot tolerate sand!"

"The empress dowager's words are even more incomprehensible to the concubines." Concubine Shu glanced at Lu Wanlan, her chest was heaving, and she forced herself to ask with anger.

"The Ai family won't tell you." The Queen Mother ignored Concubine Shu, but turned to look at Lu Wanlan, "Princess Yan, just tell me, is this elephant aunt your face?"

Following the words, the queen mother saw Lu Wanlan who had been silent all this time, and finally looked up at herself. Instead of being flustered, she smiled calmly:
"Back to the Empress Dowager, the concubine's natal family has a lot of property, and she yells all day long that there are not a few high-ranking sons who are married to the Lu family, let alone a Xiang girl in the hall? The concubine can't stain the innocence of the concubine with his one-sided words, in fact Concubine..."

"Woo~ girl, girl."

The gentleman who had been crying in a low voice heard Lu Wanlan's answer, and before he could finish speaking, he crawled to her feet and begged loudly:
"The girl already has Xiaosheng's body, and Xiaosheng is the girl's own, the girl can't let me go~"
