Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Chapter 163
Chang has been lying on the bed for a long time, and the look in her eyes has changed from being anxious at the beginning to resentful no matter what she sees now.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Chang wanted to turn her head to look, but she couldn't. She could only turn her eyes and look sideways.

But the distance she could see with squinted eyes was limited, and she didn't see clearly who was coming until Hou Zhongyong approached her bed.

Zhongyonghou stood in front of the bed and stared at Chang Shi, who was lying on the bed and could not move for a long time, before meeting Chang Shi with resentful eyes.

After a while, Zhongyonghou looked away and said calmly: "The imperial concubine is dead."

When Chang heard this, the only pair of eyes that could move in her whole body stared wide open. Shock was first revealed in the pupils, and then deep hatred was revealed in the pupils.

Zhongyonghou shook his head, turned and left without saying anything.

In the early morning of the second day, news came out from Zhongyonghou's mansion that Chang was overwhelmed with grief when he knew that the imperial concubine had passed away, that he couldn't make it through, and that he was gone.

However, Chang's death did not affect the mourning of everyone in the Hou Mansion.

After all, only the female family members of the mansion were the ones who went to the palace to mourn, and the men in the mansion were responsible for Chang's funeral.

Tao's eyes were red, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and said, "Mother is afraid that I won't be able to cry, so she took my handkerchief and soaked it in ginger juice."

Dow looked at the speechless expression on Lu Wanning's face, and said with a smile: "Without you, everyone might cry more sincerely."

The noble concubine stayed in Zhaoyang Palace for three days before being buried in the concubine mausoleum.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, Lu Wanning looked at the hairpin and ring jewelry in her dressing box, and asked Qingzhi, "Have you taken care of everything that needs to be dealt with?"

Lu Wanning chose a bead flower inlaid with pearls of the same size from the pile of hairpin jewelry, and handed it to Qing Zhi, asking her to put the hairpin on her head.

Lu Wanning is now Concubine Zhuang, and the seat she used to pay her respects to the Empress has also changed. She is now seated opposite Xi Concubine.

Because the ginger juice was soaked a little too much, Dow, who had used the handkerchief, couldn't stop crying.

Everyone knelt down to pay respects to the empress.

However, Cui Jieyu never noticed Xi Concubine's eyes, until the Empress Empress came out, the jealousy in Cui Jieyu's eyes never stopped.

As soon as Concubine Xi sat down in her seat, she turned her eyes to Lu Wanning. Seeing that Lu Wanning was wearing a moon-white dress and her head was not covered with emerald jewels, but her appearance remained undiminished, she couldn't help feeling a little bit in her heart. envy.

She has been in the palace for so many years, and she was promoted to the position of concubine only after giving birth to the third princess. Lu Wanning has only been in the palace for more than two years, and has never given birth to a son and a half for the emperor, but she also gave birth to a concubine, and this person is still like this Young and beautiful, how could this not make her jealous?
There is probably no one in the palace full of concubines who does not envy Lu Wanning.

Qingzhi nodded and said: "Don't worry, master, everything has been cleaned up. All the clothes that the imperial concubine liked during her lifetime were buried in the imperial mausoleum with the imperial concubine."

"The servant understands."

After finishing the hairpin, Lu Wanning took a look in the mirror. Although she was a bit plain, it was not bad. The imperial concubine was always her cousin, no matter how much she didn't think of the imperial concubine as a cousin in her heart, but the imperial concubine just passed away, she still It's not easy to wear too bright.

Lu Wanning has been paying attention to Tao Shi secretly, and seeing Tao Shi crying can be described as raining like tears, she couldn't help being surprised, she thought Tao Shi would not be able to cry, at most he would howl a few times.

With the death of the imperial concubine, the anger that Lu Wanning had been holding back since she was forced into the palace by them finally dissipated.

"Before you leave the palace, let someone stare at you, don't make any mistakes at this time."

Lu Wanning didn't know what to say when she heard the words.

Lu Jieyu noticed Xi Concubine's eyes and lowered her head to cover her own expression.

After Lu Wanning finished listening, she nodded and didn't ask Chang's cause of death. It doesn't matter whether Chang's death was caused by grief or some other reason, as long as the person died.

While the two were talking, Qingzhi had already combed Lu Wanning's hair.

Since he was going to the palace to cry for a funeral, of course he had to cry a lot.

Under the leadership of the palace servants, Tao Shi walked into the dead Zhaoyang Palace and saw Lu Wanning on one side. Lu Wanning was wearing a frost-colored dress today, with no makeup on her face, and she looked haggard.

For the Ji family, Lu Wanning is quite familiar with it. She has been with the Ji family for several years when she was in the Hou Mansion. The Ji family is a smart person. Life in the government is much better than before.

It's a pity that because there is still Lu Wanning in the palace, even if there is no imperial concubine, it will have little impact on the Hou Mansion.

Tao smiled and said, "It's nothing to find out, your second aunt and your sister-in-law's handkerchiefs have also been tampered with."

After Dow said this, he remembered that he hadn't told Lu Wanning that Chang's also died.

Thinking of this, Concubine Xi glanced at the concubines at the bottom, and happened to see the jealous and forbearing expressions of Cui Jieyu and Zheng Jieyu.

After the imperial concubine was buried, Lu Wanning took a good rest in Linglong Pavilion for a whole day, and when she woke up from the bed the next morning, Lu Wanning felt relaxed all over.

When Tao Shi saw Lu Wanning, Lu Wanning also saw Tao Shi. Instead of going to greet Tao Shi first, she winked at Tao Shi and asked Tao Shi and everyone to burn paper for the concubine first.

Lu Wanning heard the words and said: "That's good, where is the embroidery lady from the needlework bureau?"

No matter what they think in their hearts, the female relatives of the Zhongyonghou Mansion knelt in front of the imperial concubine's mourning hall and wept one by one.

After the queen called out, Lu Wanning sat back in her seat and glanced at the queen, whose face was getting better and better, but who was getting thinner, and her thoughts changed.

Afterwards, Dow talked to Lu Wanning about Lin's handing over power to Ji, "Ji is not bad, and it is a good thing for everyone to hand over the power of housekeeper to her."

"The maidservant has already asked people to add her to the list of embroidered ladies who will be released from the palace. After a while, they will be released from the palace together with this batch of embroidered ladies who are going to be released from the palace." Qingzhi replied.

So, she told Lu Wanning the news of Mrs. Chang's death.

Lu Wanning took the veil, and sure enough, she smelled a smell of ginger from it. She returned the veil to Dow and said, "Mum, take it away, don't let anyone find out."

When she finally found a chance to talk to Tao Shi alone, Lu Wanning immediately asked, "Why did mother cry so hard just now?"

The empress's appearance is so weird no matter how you look at it.

Zhou Cairen had told her before that she didn't know what kind of beauty product the empress had used, and she looked at the empress like she didn't seem to have used any kind of beauty product, but rather, she seemed to be following someone's way.
