Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Chapter 44 The Dining Room Attitude
Qingzhi ignored the traces on Lu Wanning's neck and behind her ears, and combed Lu Wanning into a bun with a chamomile fragrance. After combing her hair and asking Lu Wanning's opinion, Qingzhi inserted an unobtrusive tired silk inlay into Lu Wanning's hair. Gemstone hairpin.

"Okay, master."

Hearing this, Lu Wanning took a photo in front of the bronze mirror, nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, let's go, go and pay your respects to the empress."

Seeing that Lu Wanning was about to stand up, Qingzhi had no choice but to remind Lu Wanning, "Master, do you...do you want to cover the marks behind your ears and on your neck with something?"

After Lu Wanning realized what traces Qingzhi was talking about, she nodded slightly embarrassed, and said, "Cover me up with makeup."

Now that the weather is still hot, she can't use clothes to cover it, she can only rely on makeup.

Qingzhi fetched the powder that Lu Wanning didn't use much on weekdays, and carefully covered up all the exposed traces for Lu Wanning.

With this delay, Lu Wanning arrived at Fengyi Palace a little later than usual, but in fact it wasn't much later, Concubine Hui, Concubine Jing, Concubine Gui and others hadn't arrived yet.

But when she saw Lu Wanning coming in, Cui Jieyu couldn't help but said sourly: "Hey, beauty Lu, are you here? Don't you always come early in the past? Why are you here so late today? My sister thought Lu Is the beauty not coming to greet the empress today?"

Lu Wanning smiled lightly, and said: "Cui Jieyu was joking, it's a rule to greet the empress, why didn't I come for no reason? It's just that I left my fan in the room when I went out today, and I went back to pick it up, it was just a little delay."

"I didn't expect Cui Jieyu to care about me so much. I just came a little later than usual, and Cui Jieyu noticed it. I'm really touched by Cui Jieyu's concern for me."

As soon as Lu Wanning finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter from the side.

Lu Wanning and Cui Jieyu looked at the person who was laughing at the same time, and saw Qu Cairen covering his mouth with a round fan and trembling.

Seeing Lu Wanning and Cui Jieyu looking at her, Qu Cairen smiled unabatedly and said to Lu Wanning: "I'm sorry, sister Lu, my sister thinks your words are too interesting, so she couldn't hold back her laughter for a moment. "

Lu Wanning raised her eyebrows and said, "You can do whatever you want, Qu Cairen."

After finishing speaking, Lu Wanning looked away, but Cui Jieyu was not as indifferent as Lu Wanning. She always felt that Qu Cairen was laughing at herself, and the eyes that looked at Qu Cairen were about to get angry.

Seeing Cui Jieyu's eyes, Qu Cairen couldn't help but stop smiling.

Cui Jieyu glared at Qu Cairen again, and then looked away.

There are so many concubines in the harem, but the emperor has only one person. When paying his respects every day, the concubines will always be ridiculed and ridiculed, and everyone is used to it.

After the queen came out, everyone finished their routine greetings with the queen and said a few words with the queen before they left.

After leaving Fengyi Palace, Lu Wanning was stopped by the noble concubine again, "My sister hasn't been to my palace for a while, I don't know if I have time to sit in my palace today, so we sisters can talk together."

Lu Wanning nodded, "Speaking of which, it's my sister's fault. I've been busy preparing for the Empress Dowager's birthday gift recently, and I haven't visited the imperial concubine. Now that the imperial concubine is personally inviting me, how dare my sister refuse."

Although the noble concubine invited Lu Wanning to go to Zhaoyang Palace with her, she didn't intend to go with Lu Wanning. She sat high on the sedan chair, and Lu Wanning followed her sedan chair with Qingzhi and Qingdai, and went together Zhaoyang Palace.

After entering Zhaoyang Palace, the imperial concubine asked someone to serve tea to Lu Wanning. Lu Wanning took a sip from the teacup, then put the teacup on the small table beside her, waiting for the imperial concubine to speak.

The noble concubine looked at Lu Wanning unabashedly, and said with a smile on her face, "Congratulations to my sister for finally keeping the clouds open to see the moonlight."

Lu Wanning bowed her head in embarrassment, and said, "Thank you, the concubine, the concubine finally lived up to the expectations of the concubine."

The noble concubine said kindly: "I don't know this about your expectations, since you have the opportunity to serve me at bedtime, you have to learn to seize the opportunity and bring the emperor to give birth to a dragon son as soon as possible, so that you can truly live up to my expectations of you. "

"The emperor's heirs are weak, and now there is only the crown prince in the harem. If you can give birth to a prince for the emperor, both the empress dowager and the emperor will be very happy. When the time comes, your mother will be more expensive than your son, and your status will continue to rise. one liter."

Lu Wanning continued to lower her head and pretend to be shy, but the corners of her mouth curled up in a mocking arc, the imperial concubine really couldn't wait.

But the moment she raised her head, Lu Wanning put away the expression on her face, still showing a humble look, and said: "Thank you for your reminder, my concubine, I will definitely remember it."

The imperial concubine nodded in satisfaction, and gave Lu Wanning a few more instructions, before waving her hand to let Lu Wanning go back to rest.

Lu Wanning wanted to leave a long time ago, seeing this, she almost couldn't wait to leave.

After sitting for half the morning, her already sore body became even more sore, and now she just wanted to go back and lie on the soft bed and have a good sleep.

Lu Wanning returned to Linglong Pavilion and woke up late in the night. Qingzhi called her to get up for lunch, but she refused.

When she woke up, the food was already cold, so Qingzhi had no choice but to take the money and ask Zhou Man to go to the dining room again to see if there was anything to eat in the dining room.

After a while, Zhou Man came back proudly carrying a dish of five-spice baby pigeon, a dish of sweet and sour lotus root, a dish of fish fillet in ginger sauce, a dish of Yipin tofu, and two servings of dim sum, all of which were freshly made of.

Qingzhi looked at the dishes in the food box, and asked in surprise, "Why are they so rich?"

It’s already past the time for meals. How could those people in the dining room be willing to bother to fix these things? Although she gave Zhou Man money, even if those people in the dining room saw the money, they would at most be in the dining room. Give what you have.

Zhou Man proudly said: "Didn't our master serve the bed last night? The people in the dining room saw me today, and their attitude was very friendly. They knew that our master hadn't eaten at this point, so they started to clean up the mess without saying a word. Let me bring it back."

Qingzhi looked at Zhou Man's villainous look, couldn't help frowning, and asked: "Did you give the money to the dining room? Let me tell you, the master only served the bed once, can you tell me?" Don't get carried away and cause trouble for the master."

Zhou Man smiled and nodded, "Miss Qingzhi, don't worry, I will save everything. The people in the dining room have bothered, and I didn't let them work in vain. I gave them more money than originally planned, and paid them all. Praise it once, and they will definitely not let them have any complaints against the master."

Qingzhi felt relieved when she heard the words, "That's good."
