Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Chapter 49

Lu Wanning went back to Linglong Pavilion and took a short rest for a while, recharging her energy, and asked Qingzhi and Qingdai to help her redress, and changed into a lotus-coloured cross-neck high-waisted skirt. Go to Cheng'an Palace.

On the way from Linglong Pavilion to Cheng'an Palace, you have to pass through the Imperial Garden, and because of today's palace banquet, there are a lot of people in the Imperial Garden at this time.

From a distance, Lu Wanning saw the wives and royal family members who were talking together in the imperial garden in twos and threes.

It's just that the old lady Lin and Mrs. Chang of the Zhongyonghou Mansion were not among these people, and they may have gone to Zhaoyang Palace.

Lu Wanning withdrew her gaze and continued to walk forward, but she felt that her gaze fell on her body as if it were real.

Lu Wanning turned her head to look, and saw a strange man staring at her.The man was about 40 years old, with a long fat head and big ears, wearing a dark purple python robe, with a big belly, and squinting light in his small eyes that were almost invisible due to the fat on his face.

Lu Wanning couldn't help but frowned.

Seeing Lu Wanning frowning, Qingzhi and Qingdai followed Lu Wanning's line of sight, and happened to see the man smiling at Lu Wanning, but no matter how you looked at it, the smile had malicious intentions.

Qing Dai glared at her viciously, trying to calm down that person, but the person seemed to have not seen it, and his eyes still fell on Lu Wanning.

Lu Wanning endured the discomfort in her heart, let herself ignore that gaze, and continued walking forward with Qingzhi and Qingdai.

After walking a few steps, Qingzhi turned her head to take a look, and saw that the man raised his foot and walked towards them.

Qingzhi hurriedly reminded Lu Wanning in a low voice: "Master, he seems to be coming towards us."

Lu Wanning didn't look back, and saw Qu Cairen and Zhou Cairen not far in front, and took two steps to catch up with them.

"Sister Qu, Zhou Cairen."

Although Zhou Cairen is just a talented person, she was elected into the palace in the second year of Mingde's general election. She is already 23 this year, seven years older than Lu Wanning.Because she was not favored, her rank has not been promoted in these years. According to the rules in the palace, it is appropriate for Lu Wanning to call her younger sister, but Zhou Cairen will inevitably be embarrassed, so it is better to call her Zhou Cairen.

Qu Cairen and Zhou Cairen stopped when they heard the sound, and greeted Lu Wanning, "Sister Lu/Beauty Lu."

Sure enough, Zhou Cairen didn't call Lu Wanning sister either.

Lu Wanning smiled at the two of them, and said, "Sister Qu and Zhou Cairen are also going to Cheng'an Palace, right? I'll go with you."

Qu Cairen and Zhou Cairen naturally agreed, and the three of them led the palace servants to Cheng'an Palace together.

Qingzhi followed Lu Wanning and looked back without a trace, seeing that the person was not far or close behind them, she felt uneasy, not knowing what the person was trying to do.

When they arrived at Cheng'an Palace, Lu Wanning and the others were led to their seats by the palace staff. It was a coincidence that Lu Wanning, Zhou Cairen and Qu Cairen were in similar positions, and their seats happened to be arranged together.

Not long after Lu Wanning and the others sat down, the man who followed them also came in. After sitting down, he first looked around the hall, and when he saw Lu Wanning, his eyes lit up, and he glanced in Lu Wanning's direction from time to time. The eyes made Lu Wanning very irritable, and she couldn't help showing a bit of disgust on her face.

Zhou Cairen, who was sitting with Lu Wanning, saw the disgusted expression flashing across Lu Wanning's face, thought for a moment, moved to Lu Wanning's side, and whispered to Lu Wanning, "Mei Lu knows King Yu?"

Lu Wanning shook her head and said, "I don't know, why did Zhou Cairen say that?"

She really didn't know Prince Yu, but when she saw the man in the imperial garden, she guessed that he was King Yu from his clothes and age.

Zhou Cairen was not surprised by Lu Wanning's answer, she smiled and said: "I saw that Lu Meiren just glanced at Yu Junwang, her eyes were very disgusting, I thought that Lu Meiren knew Yu Yujun Wang to show it Such a look."

Lu Wanning didn't hide her dislike for King Yu, saying: "So he is King Yu. I don't know who he is, but I just think his behavior of looking around is very annoying."

Zhou Cairen nodded, "Indeed, there may be no more disgusting person in the entire capital than King Yujun, but he has done all the disgusting things, and those victims can only consider themselves unlucky because of his status. "

Lu Wanning was very surprised by Zhou Cairen's strong hatred towards King Yujun in his words, and she couldn't help but glance at Zhou Cairen.

Zhou Cairen smiled at Lu Wanning, and said, "Do you not understand why I say that?"

After asking, without waiting for Lu Wanning to answer, Zhou Cairen said to himself: "I am the youngest girl in my family, and I have an older sister who is 12 years older than me. She has a gentle personality and is beautiful..."

Hearing this, Lu Wanning suddenly remembered that the first concubine of Prince Yu was surnamed Zhou. Could it be that she is Zhou Cairen's older sister?
The first concubine of King Yujun, Mrs. Zhou, died of illness eight years ago. Within three months of Mrs. Zhou's death, King Yujun married his second wife, Mrs. Zhang, but it was only six years since Mrs. Zhang married into the mansion of Mr. Yujun. It's gone.

After Mrs. Zhang disappeared, Prince Yu always wanted to marry again, but few people were willing to marry him again. That's why he found the queen mother before, and the imperial concubine threatened her by making a sequel to King Yu.

Thinking of this, Lu Wanning's resentment towards the imperial concubine increased a bit.

Zhou Cairen continued, "My sister was already engaged, and her fiancé is the son of my father's colleague. He and my sister are in love with each other. If they can get married, they will be able to live happily ever after."

"Unfortunately, when my sister was sixteen years old, the mother of her fiancé-in-law died of illness, so her fiancé-in-law had to mourn for his mother for three years. The wedding will be held after the funeral."

"My sister has been waiting for more than two years, and it seems that she will be able to marry the person she likes in half a year. I don't want King Yu to go to our Quanling County to play. When I saw my sister by accident, I was immediately shocked and came to ask my father to marry me. Father rejected his marriage proposal on the grounds that his sister was already engaged."

"Yu Junwang was unwilling to give up. After his father rejected him, he actually found someone to kidnap his sister. After the plan failed, he went back to Beijing directly to ask for a marriage decree."

Her father is just a small county magistrate, and rejecting King Yu's marriage proposal is already the limit of what he can do. King Yu came to marry his sister with the imperial decree of marriage. Where did their family have the courage? Dare to resist?

Because of this imperial decree, even if her sister wanted to ask for death, she couldn't. Once her sister died, their family would be finished.

So her sister could only marry into the Prince's Mansion with tears in her eyes. If it was just like this, she wouldn't hate Prince Yu deeply.
