Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Chapter 50
After her sister married into the palace, Yujun Wang detested her sister within three months after being fresh. He let the Yingying and Yanyan in the mansion bully her sister at will, and in the end, he let his concubine kill her sister in order to marry a bride. life.

The father and brother learned the truth from her sister's personal servant girl, and they came to the door to seek justice for her sister, but they were humiliated and kicked out of the county palace. He even crippled one leg, ruining his future.

Whenever she thinks of this, Zhou Cairen can't wait to swallow King Yu alive. Originally, she thought that as long as she entered the palace and was favored, she would have the opportunity to seek justice for her sister and father and brother, but she was not as beautiful as her sister, and her temperament was not liked by the emperor. After several years in the palace, not to mention being favored, the chances of seeing the emperor are very few.

After listening to Zhou Cairen's story about her sister's past, Lu Wanning felt sorry for Zhou Cairen's sister, but at the same time felt that Zhou Cairen's conversation with a person who hadn't had much friendship in the past was a bit shallow.

Zhou Cairen may have seen what Lu Wanning was thinking, she pulled away from the past emotions, smiled, and said: "I'm sorry, these things have been in my heart for a long time, and I couldn't bear it when I got emotional just now." I can't stop, but you are so tired after listening to my complaints for a long time."

Lu Wanning shook her head and said, "It's nothing."

Afterwards, neither of them mentioned Prince Yu again, nor did they glance in the direction of King Yu. After chatting with Lu Wanning for a few more words, Zhou Cairen turned his head to the other side and said to Qu Cairen Gossip started.

Lu Wanning carefully observed how the two of them got along, and found that although they were of the same status, Zhou Cairen entered the palace a few years earlier than Qu Cairen, but when the two talked, most of the time they were praised by Zhou Cairen. Qu Cairen.

I can't blame the two for coming together. Now it seems that Zhou Cairen may be optimistic about Qu Cairen and take the initiative to lean on him.

Among the concubines of their group who entered the palace, Weng Jieyu and Cui Jieyu had the highest status, but Zheng Meiren was the one who received the most favor now. Qu Cairen was neither the highest nor the most favored. Yes, but besides Zheng Meiren, she has served the most times.

It's not surprising that Zhou Cairen would pick her. After all, if Zhou Cairen picks Zheng Meiren and Cui Jieyu, the two of them may not talk to her, even if they are willing to talk to her, they will get along with them. Compared with Qu Cairen, it is better to get along with him, and he has not aroused much envy in the palace.

Come to think of it, Zhou Cairen might have given up his hope of fighting for favor by doing this, and instead pinned his hopes on Qu Cairen, hoping that Qu Cairen would help her avenge her sister in the future, right?
Just as Lu Wanning was thinking about it, the concubines in the harem arrived one after another, and those wives and others who were enjoying the scenery in the imperial garden had returned from the imperial garden and sat down in their own seats up.

After seeing the noble concubine, Lu Wanning looked for Lin and Chang among the wives, and indeed she saw Lin and Chang.

However, Lu Wanning only took one look, and then looked away. She didn't care about the fact that Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Chang only went to see the imperial concubine when they entered the palace. What she cared about was whether Mrs. Tao was doing well in the Hou's mansion. it is good.

But Lu Wanning knew that if she took this to ask Lin and Chang, they would only say yes, and it was impossible to say that Tao was not comfortable at home, so she would ask the two of them again to ask about Tao. The impulse of the situation pressed back.

Soon, the emperor, the empress, and the empress dowager appeared in Cheng'an Palace together, and everyone knelt down in time to salute.

After the empress dowager and the emperor said a few words respectively, the birthday banquet officially began, the sound of qin, Xiao and drums rang out, and various songs and dances that the Secretary of the Jiaofang had rehearsed for a long time were also presented in front of everyone. The handsome maid of honor placed a visit on the table in front of everyone.

After a song and dance, the emperor raised his wine glass, walked up to the Empress Dowager, and toasted the Empress Dowager to celebrate her birthday.

Then there is King Yujun, who is the younger uncle of the Empress Dowager and the only brother of the late emperor.

Lu Wanning only glanced at King Yu who was shaking his wine glass and stood up and walked to the open space in front of him, then quickly averted his eyes and looked at the emperor sitting above him.

The emperor was already extraordinarily heroic, compared with King Yujun, he was even more eye-catching.

Fortunately, I was wise at the time and chose to enter the palace. If she had chosen not to enter the palace for the convenience of meeting Tao Shi and younger brother Lu Simo, and was cruelly married into Prince Yu's mansion by the noble concubine and Lin Shi as a sequel, she would have no place to cry now up.

Luo Chengjing sat at the top, listening to King Yu's stammering birthday speech, while finishing the wine glass in his hand, he casually glanced at the expressions of the people at the bottom, and when his eyes fell on Lu Wanning, he couldn't help but look pause.

On such occasions, many concubines in the harem looked at him overtly and secretly, but none had such burning and bright eyes as Lu Wanning.

Lu Wanning's eyes collided with Luo Chengjing's, Lu Wanning seemed to be frightened, she quickly lowered her head and retracted her gaze, but after a while, she couldn't help but raised her head and secretly glanced in Luo Chengjing's direction.

He didn't want to be caught by Luo Chengjing again.

Lu Wanning blushed again and lowered her head, concentrating on the delicate dishes in front of her eyes, not daring to look up again.

The corners of Luo Chengjing's mouth curled up slightly, and Prince Yu, who was looking down, was no longer so irritable.

King Yujun finally finished the long string of messy birthday greetings, and enjoyed the feeling of being watched by everyone, so he slowly returned to his seat, and glanced in Lu Wanning's direction before returning to his seat.

It is a pity to think that such a lively beauty is the concubine of his emperor's nephew?If this was an ordinary person, he would have to "get close and close" when he said anything, but now he can only look at it, and his eyes are greedy.

After King Yujun went down, it was time for the princes to toast and celebrate their birthdays.

The late emperor had seven sons in total. The eldest prince was born weak and died of illness before reaching adulthood. In order to fight for the throne, the third prince conspired with the sixth prince to rebel and forced the palace. The second prince Luo Chengxian, the fifth prince Luo Chengshao who was named King Ning, and the seventh prince Luo Chengyou who was born with a limp in one foot Mu Wang.

In this dynasty, there is no adult prince who must stay in his fief, and there is no rule that he cannot enter the capital when he is summoned. Therefore, although the three of them have fiefs, King Ning and King Mu basically live in the capital all year round. Only King Qi was before the emperor ascended the throne. So I went to live in a fiefdom and rarely returned to Beijing.

If it wasn't for celebrating the Queen Mother's birthday this time, he probably wouldn't have appeared in the capital.
