Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Chapter 24
Concubine Jing smiled and said: "The empress has wronged my concubine. What the concubine looks forward to most every day is to come to pay her respects to the empress. How can she envy the empress? The empress said this because she saw the new arrival. Is my younger sister stuffing water spirits one by one, and I am tired of seeing this old face of my concubine?"

"Your scorpion!" The queen shook her head and said, "But you are right about one thing. The younger sisters who have just entered the palace this time are indeed water spirits stuffed one by one. I like it very much."

An Pin, who was sitting in the third place from the right, said with a smile: "The new sisters are all as beautiful as flowers and young, just like the budding flowers in the imperial garden. Let alone you, Empress, the concubine also likes it very much."

Concubine An Changqiao was the Empress Empress back then, that is, the empress dowager who is now a court lady who was assigned by the Emperor to guide him in human affairs when he was an adult.

Concubine An is two years older than the emperor, and is the oldest among all the concubines at present, ninety-nine in her twenties this year.

Maybe it's because she didn't pay attention to maintenance. If you look carefully, you can find that there are faint fine lines on the corners of her eyes. She is wearing a flower blue dress and only has a plain gold hairpin on her head. She looks more beautiful than she actually is. is slightly older.

Concubine An once gave birth to the eldest prince for the emperor. It is said that the elder prince was very smart and very liked by the emperor, but it is a pity that he passed away when he was about two years old.

After An Bin's words fell, Lu Wanning and the others who were originally the object of everyone's attention immediately attracted more attention.

The veils in the hands of most concubines are already crumpled, and the jealousy on the faces of concubines who have poor control and tend to show their emotions can't be concealed even more.

Concubine Jing glanced at Lu Wanning and the others, rolled her eyes, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "Sister An concubine said that the new sisters who entered the palace are all like flowers, so what do you think of these flowers? Are the blooms the best?"

Concubine An smiled, and said: "Looking at the question of Concubine Jing, since all the younger sisters can be selected by the emperor, empress dowager and empress, all of them are naturally good!"

Concubine Jing snorted softly, dissatisfied with Concubine An's answer, but she didn't hold Concubine An any longer, but looked in Lu Wanning's direction, and said directly: "I heard that the concubine's younger sister is very beautiful, and she is not only beautiful during the palace selection. She was praised by the Empress Dowager, and also praised by the Empress Dowager, for which the Emperor specially named her a sixth-rank beauty."

"The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have always had good eyesight. They all praised her like this. I think Beauty Lu is the most beautiful flower among the younger sisters who entered the palace this time? Who is the younger sister of the Imperial Concubine? Stand up and let us all see what kind of beautiful face it is?"

From the time when Concubine Jing's eyes fell on her, Lu Wanning knew that she probably couldn't hide, Concubine Jing had been at odds with Concubine Gui ever since she entered the palace.

Both of them are the daughters of generals, and they are also favored by the emperor. The imperial concubine came to the emperor a few years earlier than the imperial concubine. After years of fighting, Concubine Jing still lost a little bit.

Now, as the concubine's cousin, she was obviously angered by Concubine Jing, and Concubine Jing's appearance would bring a lot of hatred to herself.

However, Lu Wanning had expected this kind of perennial, she didn't panic, she stood up and bowed to Concubine Jing, "Concubine Lu Wanning has seen Concubine Jing."

Concubine Jing looked Lu Wanning up and down, curled the corners of her lips, and said, "It's really beautiful, no wonder it's praised by the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager."

Lu Wanning respectfully said: "The concubine Jing is too famous. Words like the beauty of the sky can only be matched by the empress who is so graceful, luxurious, and virtuous. The concubine is only thin and beautiful. I am ashamed to praise the concubine like this. Don't dare to be."

If the queen looks ordinary, then Lu Wanning would never dare to say that. If she really wants to say this, she will be flattered on the horse's leg. It is not a compliment to the queen, but a suspicion of mocking the queen, but the queen's mother is also very beautiful. So there is nothing wrong with Lu Wanning saying that.

Concubine Jing froze for a moment, looking at Lu Wanning with a look of surprise in her eyes, I didn't expect that the cousin of the imperial concubine was as difficult to deal with as the imperial concubine. A person who is both graceful and luxurious, with both virtue and appearance, is not worthy of words like Tianzi Guocai, or can he say that she is more beautiful than the empress?I can't.

"You are eloquent." Concubine Jing said lightly, temporarily giving up on continuing to embarrass Lu Wanning.

After watching a scene, the queen put down the teacup in her hand and said to Lu Wanning, "Go back and sit down."

Lu Wanning responded and sat back.

The queen asked again: "Did you visit the noble concubine after entering the palace?"

Lu Wanning said: "If you go back to the empress, you haven't."

The queen nodded and said: "You are the younger sister of the imperial concubine, and you can spend more time talking with the imperial concubine when you have time."

Lu Wanning replied: "Yes, empress, my concubine will remember."

Afterwards, the empress admonished the newcomers again, saying something like serving the emperor well, striving to give birth to a prince for the emperor as soon as possible, and then she said she was tired and let everyone leave.

Although Lu Wanning blocked Concubine Jing's words just now, Concubine Jing's words still attracted a lot of jealous eyes for her, but Lu Wanning didn't care too much, she was already good-looking, even in this harem. She is very outstanding, even without Concubine Jing's words just now, her face alone would attract a lot of jealous eyes.

Coming out of Fengyi Palace, Lu Wanning stood there, trying to ignore all the eyes that fell on her, and when the high-ranking concubines were almost gone, she took Qingzhi all the way to Zhaoyang Palace.

When Lu Wanning arrived at Zhaoyang Palace, the imperial concubine was stretching out her thin white and slender hands to let the palace lady Chisu apply Kodan on her nails, while listening to Hong Jian telling her what happened in Fengyi Palace when she greeted her today.

Hearing that Lu Wanning was coming, her expression remained unchanged, and she didn't stop Chisu from stopping what she was doing, she just said, "Please come in."

"Yes, empress." The little palace maid who came in to report responded, and went out to invite Lu Wanning in.

After Lu Wanning came in, she first saluted the noble concubine, "I have seen the noble concubine."

When the imperial concubine asked her to sit, she sat down on the chair beside her a little cautiously.

"Originally, my younger sister wanted to come to greet the imperial concubine yesterday, but considering that I have not yet paid my respects to the empress, I can only come to visit the imperial concubine after greeting the empress today. I hope the empress will not be offended."
