Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Chapter 42
Lu Wanning did not hide anything, and replied: "The concubine personally embroidered a Diamond Sutra for the Empress Dowager, and it is already finishing up, and the embroidery can be finished just a little bit away."

"The scriptures embroidered by hand?" The imperial concubine glanced at Lu Wanning, her tone was unclear.

Lu Wanning heard the words and said: "I don't have any good things in my hands, I can only spend a little more time on my heart."

The imperial concubine nodded lightly, "You have a heart. Although the scriptures embroidered by yourself are not worth much, they can be regarded as affordable."

Lu Wanning said: "The concubine also thinks the same way."

Knowing that the birthday gift prepared by Lu Wanning would not embarrass the Hou Mansion and her, the imperial concubine waved Lu Wanning to leave.

In the evening, after finishing her dinner, Lu Wanning walked around the yard a few times to digest her food, and then went back to the house to continue fiddling with her pile of spices.

Just when she prepared a new batch of spices and took out a dark purple sachet to fill, Zhou Man suddenly ran in in a hurry.

Qingzhi frowned, and was about to scold him when she opened her mouth, but Zhou Man gasped and said: "Master, the emperor is coming to our Linglong Pavilion."

Lu Wanning read a new incense recipe that can repel mosquitoes from a book today. When she was about to try it, she realized that she was missing two herbs, so she asked Zhou Man to go to the Tai Hospital to ask for it.

But just after Zhou Man walked out of Linglong Pavilion, he saw the emperor leading people towards their Linglong Pavilion. Seeing that he couldn't care less about asking for medicinal materials, he hurried back to report to Lu Wanning.

Qingzhi and Lu Wanning were taken aback when they heard Zhou Man's words. After realizing it, Qingzhi said excitedly: "Really? Did you read it right? Did the emperor come to us or to Ruyi Pavilion?"

Zheng Meiren's Ruyi Pavilion is in the same direction as their Linglong Pavilion. The emperor often goes to the Ruyi Pavilion during this time. Don't Zhou Man rush back to report the news when he only sees the emperor coming from this direction?
Zhou Man said excitedly: "Really, the villain can't be mistaken. When the villain saw it, the emperor had already passed the Ruyi Pavilion and came straight to our Linglong Pavilion."

We have already passed the Ruyi Pavilion, so we will arrive at the Linglong Pavilion soon?
Qingzhi immediately became anxious, "Quick, quick, master, change your clothes quickly, and this servant will help you redress."

Lu Wanning is wearing a high-waist skirt today, an ivory white cross-neck jacket, a bean green bottom skirt, and a belt that is a little darker than the skirt. The clothes are all newly made this year, and they have only been worn twice, although they are not Brand new, but still looking old.

The hair was simply pulled up, and only a silver hairpin was inserted obliquely to fix it.

This attire is refreshing, but it is too plain, and it is not suitable for meeting the emperor at all.

Qingzhi now just wants to put all the beautiful jewelry on Lu Wanning's body, and make Lu Wanning look radiant, so that the emperor can't take his eyes off when he sees it.

Lu Wanning lowered her head and looked at her body, and felt that she could still see people, so she shook her head at Qingzhi and said, "It's running out of time, so I don't need to change my clothes, you can help me recomb my hair and put on the jewelry." gone."

"Yes, master."

While talking, Lu Wanning was already sitting in front of the bronze mirror, she didn't want Qingzhi to make a move when there was movement in the yard.

The emperor came sooner than they thought, and now he has entered their courtyard of Linglong Pavilion.

Qingzhi panicked, "Master, what should I do?"

Lu Wanning stood up and said calmly, "It's okay, don't panic, just follow me to pick you up!"

Isn't it just that I didn't come and dress up?It's not a big deal, the emperor came so suddenly, he didn't give her this time at all, this is her true state.

Glancing at the sachets and other things on the table, Lu Wanning looked away and hurriedly walked out of the house.

Lu Wanning's calm calmed down Qingzhi's flustered emotions, she took a deep breath and followed Lu Wanning out of the room.

Luo Chengjing had already reached the middle of the yard, seeing Lu Wanning coming out, Luo Chengjing stopped.

Lu Wanning took a few steps, walked up to Luo Chengjing and bowed Yingying, "The concubine didn't know that the holy driver was coming, so she was late to pick him up, and I hope the emperor will forgive me."

Luo Chengjing looked at the woman in front of him. Not only did her plain attire not diminish her original complexion, but under the dim light, she was even more glamorous than when he saw her before.

Yesterday when he was admiring the lotus in Wenxin Lake with Zheng Meiren, he looked at the lotus flowers all over the lake and somehow thought of Lu Wanning who was in a mess, and then remembered that he hadn't seen her since then.

When the imperial concubine invited him to have dinner at Zhaoyang Palace last time, he thought that Lu Wanning would be there, but what he didn't expect was that although Lu Wanning went to Zhaoyang Palace that day, he left early.

This was a bit different from what he expected, but he was only slightly surprised at the time and didn't pay much attention to it.

There are too many things that need to be on his mind, a little beauty may interest him for a while, but within three to five days he will forget about her.

If he hadn't gone to Wenxin Lake, he might not have remembered this person, and even if he remembered, he hadn't planned to come to Linglong Pavilion.

Who would have thought it was a coincidence, but today after he finished correcting the memorial, Lian Yongwang mentioned this person in his ear again, which made his mind hooked again.

In this case, he didn't want to wrong himself any more, and chose to come to Linglong Pavilion when Lian Yongwang asked which palace he was going to tonight.

In fact, when Lian Yongwang mentioned the conversation between Zheng Meiren and Lu Wanning when he greeted the queen today in front of Luo Chengjing, it was not to remind Luo Chengjing of Lu Wanning, but because he felt that Luo Chengjing was very interested in Zheng Meiren recently, and he should be happy. Hearing the news about Zheng Meiren, that's why he told Luo Chengjing about their conversation.

Unexpectedly, Luo Chengjing came to Linglong Pavilion after listening to it. This may be called a mistake.

Luo Chengjing stretched out his hand to help Lu Wanning, and said: "My concubine, you don't need to be polite, get up."

Lu Wanning followed Luo Chengjing's strength and stood up, but Luo Chengjing did not let go, but directly led her into the room.

Lu Wanning lowered her head and obediently followed Luo Chengjing, seemingly very calm, but her slender neck and jade-white ears were quietly stained with color.

Looking at her expression, Luo Chengjing was in a good mood, and when he walked to the soft couch and was about to sit down, he released the catkin he was holding in his hand, and squeezed it reluctantly before letting go.

"My concubine, sit down."

After thanking Lu Wanning, she sat down opposite Luo Chengjing.

After sitting down for a while, she didn't hear Luo Chengjing speak. Lu Wanning raised her eyes slightly, but found that Luo Chengjing was staring at the sachet and other things on the table that she hadn't had time to pack.

Lu Wanning said with some embarrassment: "The concubine was packing the sachet, and when she heard the emperor's arrival, she was very happy, so she rushed to greet him, but she forgot to ask someone to pack these things, which made the emperor laugh."

As she said that, Lu Wanning gave Qingzhi a wink and told her to quickly put away her things.
