Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

"Is Concubine Ai so poor?" Luo Chengjing asked amusedly.

Lu Wanning shook her head, "A concubine is not poor, after all, a concubine with money is not bad."

She didn't really want to cry poorly with the emperor, after explaining, she looked at the sachet in Luo Chengjing's hand, and said tentatively: "Since the emperor thinks this sachet is good, then...the concubine can help the emperor wear it for a try?"

Luo Chengjing nodded, so Lu Wanning lowered her head and took off the sachet that Luo Chengjing was originally carrying, and put on the one she made.

After putting on the sachet, Lu Wanning took a step back, admired it, and nodded with satisfaction, "It looks okay, not ugly."

Luo Chengjing was speechless for a moment, and said: "Aifei, can you describe the things you make with your own hands as ugly or not?"

Lu Wanning took it for granted: "Because the concubine has self-knowledge, the concubine's craftsmanship is far inferior to that of the embroiderer in the palace. Compared with the things the emperor is used to, it is not bad to be able to make it not ugly."

"Aifei is really..."

While the two were talking, dinner was delivered.

According to Lu Wanning's grade, the daily meal standard is four dishes and one soup. Today, the emperor dined in Linglong Pavilion. Of course, it is impossible for the people in the dining room to prepare according to Lu Wanning's previous meal standard.

The meals were served on the table one by one. Although it was not an exaggeration to say that the entire table was filled, it was also very rich, and there were several dishes that Lu Wanning liked to eat on weekdays.

Luo Chengjing looked at Lu Wanning's eyes shining while looking at the food on the table, smiled slightly, and said, "These crabs and shrimps should be matched with chrysanthemum stuffing."

Lian Yongwang, who was at the side, heard the words, and immediately said: "What the emperor said is that the young ones should be made to fetch the best chrysanthemums."

Luo Chengjing nodded, and soon, a little eunuch came over with a brew of chrysanthemums, and Qingzhi and others had already prepared the cups with winking eyes.

Lu Wanning liked to eat shrimps and crabs, and she had the best chrysanthemum stuffed to match. She was very happy with this meal.

The chrysanthemum wine tasted sweet, and Lu Wanning liked it very much. Most of the pot of chrysanthemum wine went into Lu Wanning's stomach.

It's not that Lu Wanning is greedy for drinking, but that Lian Yongwang is too attentive, as soon as Lu Wanning's glass is empty, he will immediately come over to fill it up for her.

Lu Wanning was not drunk, but she was already fair-skinned, and her face would turn red after drinking a little wine, and her cheeks were already flushed after drinking more than half of the pot of chrysanthemum wine.

"Is my concubine drunk?" Luo Chengjing looked at Lu Wanning's appearance and asked.

Lu Wanning shook her head, "No."

"Really?" Luo Chengjing said: "Since my concubine is not drunk, then my concubine will accompany me for a walk to digest food."

I don't know if Lu Wanning thought too much, she felt that she seemed to hear a trace of regret in Luo Chengjing's tone.

While walking slowly in the small courtyard of Linglong Pavilion with Luo Chengjing, Lu Wanning was still thinking about this question.

The more Lu Wanning thinks about it, the more she thinks it's not because she thinks too much. Lian Yongwang must be able to serve Luo Chengjing next to him, and he must have a good grasp of Luo Chengjing's thoughts. He poured wine for himself so attentively during the meal, maybe he just saw it. Luo Chengjing's thoughts.

In this case, is it too late for her to pretend to be drunk now?

After thinking about it, Lu Wanning gave up the idea of ​​pretending to be drunk.

However, even if Lu Wanning was not drunk, Luo Chengjing was still very satisfied this night.

In the morning, when he left Linglong Pavilion, Lu Wanning didn't get up again.

Although Luo Chengjing told Qingzhi and the others as usual when he left, don't disturb Lu Wanning to rest, if Lu Wanning hasn't got up when it's time to greet the queen, then there is no need to go to greet her today.

But Qingzhi and the others saw that it was almost time to greet the queen, and Lu Wanning hadn't woken up yet. After discussing with Qingdai, Qingzhi decided to wake Lu Wanning up.

After all, Lu Wanning is their master, and Lu Wanning's wish is what they should obey.

In the past, the emperor also said that he would spare their master's greeting, but the master insisted on going. Today, the master is not awake, and they are not sure whether the master should go to pay his respects.

When Lu Wanning was woken up by Qingzhi's soft voice, she was stunned for a moment before asking hoarsely, "What time is it?"

"Master, it's been two quarters of the hour." Qingzhi said: "When the emperor left, he asked the servants not to wake the master, saying that if the master didn't wake up, he wouldn't have to go to pay his respects today, is the master going to pay his respects to the empress now? "

Lu Wanning nodded to Qingzhi, and said: "You guys did a great job, remember to wake me up next time, and wait for me to wash up. After washing up, let's go to the empress to pay her respects."

After Qingzhi and Qingdai quickly waited on Lu Wanning to wash and wash, Lu Wanning went to pay her respects to the empress.

After inviting Ann, when Lu Wanning left, she found that Concubine An stayed in Fengyi Palace again.

After the emperor's birthday banquet, Concubine An stayed alone in Fengyi Palace to talk with the Empress after four days in a row.

Although in the past Concubine An clearly stood on the Queen's side and looked up to the Empress, but she didn't stay in the Empress's Fengyi Palace all day like now.

It's kind of strange to act like this now.

However, everyone in this palace has their own little thoughts, as long as the little thoughts are not for her, she doesn't have to make everyone's little thoughts clear.

At noon, the sun was shining outside the window, and Lu Wanning was sitting lazily basking in the sun on the porch. Zhou Man, who didn't know where she had gone, came back from the outside, walked up to Lu Wanning, and said, "Master, I just heard about the Needlework Bureau from outside." There was a embroiderer who threw herself into a well last night."

Lu Wanning's expression moved slightly upon hearing the words, "Suicide?"

"Yeah." Zhou Man nodded, "I heard that her suicide note was found in her room, and from the traces at the scene, she did commit suicide."

Lu Wanning sneered, "Who would commit suicide for no reason?"

Zhou Man said: "What the master said is that although the embroidered lady said in her suicide note that she decided to commit suicide because she had had enough of embroidered mother's boring life of never leaving her hands from morning till night, but I think it is unlikely."

I'm afraid that the embroiderer's suicide was true, but whether this suicide was true because she didn't want to live or because she was forced to commit suicide is unknown.

In Feiyu Palace, Wen Zhaoyi, who knew the news a little earlier than Lu Wanning, was also lying on the bed with an ugly face and losing his temper, "I won't commit suicide sooner or later, but at this time, I can't bear Xiu Niang's life and committed suicide. There is no one behind her to instigate, maybe even a fool would not believe it!"

When Wen Zhaoyi came back from the banquet that day, while he was recuperating from his injuries, Wen Zhaoyi asked people to check the pair of shoes to find out what went wrong.

It took a lot of effort, and finally found the head of the embroiderer who was in charge of making shoes in the needlework bureau. Before she could find someone, the person suddenly committed suicide.
