Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Chapter 25

"You did the right thing." The noble concubine raised her finger to the sun to admire the red Kou Dan on her finger, and asked casually, "Did your greetings go well today?"

"In general, it went smoothly, but the concubine Jing said a few words to the empress in a strange way at the beginning, but the empress blocked her back. After that, she lit me up again, and I brought the topic to the empress. , she died down."

Lu Wanning truthfully told the imperial concubine what happened during the greeting in the morning. She would know about these things without telling the imperial concubine, so she didn't need to hide it.

When Lu Wanning said this, there was a bit of anger on her face, and a bit of pride that couldn't be concealed.

Seeing the expression on Lu Wanning's face, the noble concubine laughed, shook her head, and said: "Concubine Jing, she has always disliked me, and when he greeted you today, it was because of me that I was hurting you. gone."

Lu Wanning quickly shook her head, "What are you talking about, Ma'am? You can't write two Lu characters in one stroke, not to mention that you and I are both girls from the Zhongyonghou Mansion, and we should share weal and woe, just say that when I was in Chuxiu Palace Regardless of the mother, the maids, and the eunuchs will give me a little face, isn't it because of your prestige in the palace? My mother said that I was hurt, but I feel that I got more benefits from my mother. "

The imperial concubine was very satisfied with Lu Wanning's reaction, she smiled and said: "You're right, we are all girls from the Zhongyong Houfu, we should share weal and woe, but I hurt our sisterhood a bit by saying this."

Lu Wanning smiled and said: "Your Majesty is used to being the eldest sister, and she is used to taking everything on herself. She only wants to take care of me as a younger sister, but she doesn't want me as a younger sister to be bullied because of you. I understand that." , just told me to only enjoy the goodness of the empress, but not to repay the empress, it is really hard to rest my conscience."

"I'm my older sister, so I should take care of you. If you really want to repay me, you will have opportunities in the future. What you have to do now is to take care of you as soon as possible."

After the noble concubine finished speaking, she continued: "Originally, I wanted to arrange you to live in a side hall of my Zhaoyang Palace, so that it would be more convenient for me to take care of you, and you would have more chances to see the emperor, but the concubine respects me with my body. Not good, I still need to recuperate, I suggest to the emperor to arrange you in Linglong Pavilion first, I don't want to say anything more in front of the emperor."

"However, although the Linglong Pavilion is a bit smaller, and the distance from the emperor's Jianzhang Palace is a bit far, as long as the emperor likes you, these are not problems, do you understand?"

Lu Wanning nodded, "Don't worry, ma'am, I understand, I will definitely work hard to win the emperor's favor."

Lu Wanning stayed in Zhaoyang Palace for about half an hour, convinced the noble concubine that she was devoted to her, knew her goodness, and was willing to listen to her words, and then she bid farewell.

The imperial concubine didn't keep her anymore, she just said: "You just entered the palace yesterday, I think you still have a lot of things to deal with, I won't keep you any longer now, since we sisters will live together in the palace, it will be easy for us to meet .”

After finishing speaking, the imperial concubine ordered Chisu to send Lu Wanning and Qingzhi's master and servant back.

After the person left, the noble concubine said to Hong Jian: "It is indeed not wrong to choose her to enter the palace. She is not too smart, but she is not too stupid. It is just right."

Hong Jian laughed and said: "Your majesty, you have never made a mistake in seeing people. You personally chose Lu Meiren to enter the palace, so naturally you can't go wrong in all aspects."

The imperial concubine smiled, "She can give birth to a little prince in a safe and sound manner according to my request, which is worthy of all the thoughts I have spent on her."

Hong Jian said: "The servant girl sees that Lu Meiren trusts and relies on the empress very much, and will definitely help the empress realize her wish."

The imperial concubine nodded: "I hope she can conceive within a year."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, with Lu Meiren's appearance, the Emperor will definitely like it. As long as she sleeps with her a few more times, it will be a matter of time before she becomes pregnant with a dragon."

Lu Wanning had already returned to Linglong Pavilion at this time, Qing Dai saw them coming back and greeted them, "Miss, are you back?"

Lu Wanning let out a "huh", remembering something and confessed to Qingdai and Qingzhi: "You have entered the palace now, and the previous titles have to be changed. From now on, you two will call me master like Zhou Man and the others. Call me Miss again."

Qingzhi and Qingdai both nodded, "Yes, master, the servants and servants have remembered."

"En." Lu Wanning nodded, and said, "I'll go and rest for a while, you two go and do your own work."

"I'm going to make a cup of tea for the master."

"I'm going to help the master light the incense for calming the mind."

Qingzhi and Qingdai talked and went to work.

Lu Wanning returned to her room, rubbed her forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief. Whether it was going to Fengyi Palace to pay her respects this morning, or going to Zhaoyang Palace to meet the noble concubine, she was tense, and now she relaxes After coming down, the whole person felt exhausted.

Thinking of having to deal with these people tensely every day in the future, Lu Wanning wanted to sigh, such days were too tiring.

But there is no way, she can only slowly get used to this kind of life.

In Fengyi Palace, the Empress had just finished handling the affairs of the palace, took a sip from the teacup in hand, and asked the maid at the side: "Is the dessert I ordered from the small kitchen ready?"

Liuli, the maid of honor next to the empress, replied: "It's already done when I return to your empress."

The queen nodded, "It's fine as long as it's done. I promised Cong'er in the morning that I would prepare his favorite chestnut cake for him. If he doesn't see the chestnut cake when he comes back later, he should have a fight with me again."

The princes of the Yong Dynasty had to study in the Shang study at the age of five. The prince Luo Cong was six years old this year and had been studying in the Shang study for more than a year. However, he would go back to Fengyi Palace to have dinner with the queen after school every day.

Luo Cong is weak, and chestnut cakes are not easy to digest. The queen never dared to let him eat more, but yesterday the emperor took Luo Cong's homework exam, and Luo Cong performed very well, which won the emperor's praise.

In order to reward Luo Cong, the queen agreed to let the small kitchen make him his favorite chestnut cake today.

Although the queen's words seemed to dislike the prince again, Liuli knew that His Highness the prince was the queen's heart, and the queen actually loved and satisfied the prince very much.

She laughed and said, "His Royal Highness is always well-behaved and sensible. Even if the Empress really forgot to have someone prepare chestnut cakes for His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness would not really make a fuss with the Empress."

"Because Cong'er is well-behaved and sensible, I must not forget to promise him," said the queen.

After saying this, the queen suddenly thought of Lu Wanning, and asked Liuli again: "After leaving Fengyi Palace, Beauty Lu went to Zhaoyang Palace."

Liuli nodded, "Lu Meiren stayed in Zhaoyang Palace for more than half an hour before leaving."
