Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 1618 It won’t take long to find out naturally

"Now that there is a mistress in the palace, how long can they hold on to this power? Recognize the facts and hand over the matter peacefully."

"In view of their old age, I will not treat them harshly in their future lives, but they still want to do things under my nose. Are they going to ruin everything?"

Hearing this, Lu Yi said patiently: "My dear, if the women in the palace are powerless, how can they have the chance to meet His Majesty?"

"They have lived in the struggle of power all their lives. Their lives are desolate, full of bitterness, unwillingness, and caution."

"If the empress hadn't asked them to manage the harem last time, they probably would have never dreamed that one day they would become someone who speaks the truth and is feared by everyone."

"The most important thing is, among these women, who has never wanted to be a queen? It's a pity that they don't have that fate."

"They lived a life of confusion, without any hope, and the days were boring and long. They finally ushered in change, and they were reluctant to let it go."

Lu Mingyu said: "I understand what you said, but if you can't let go of fame and fortune, it's like putting shackles on yourself. Such a life is boring and boring, and you won't be happy."

Lu Yi smiled and said: "Everyone understands the principle of contentment and happiness, but everyone has a different understanding of the degree of 'sufficiency'."

"I used to be one of them. Because I was tired of being oppressed and enslaved, I thought that one day I could fly up a branch and become a phoenix and become a master."

"At that time, there was only one purpose for being a slave. To be a slave is to be the most outstanding slave. After becoming the most outstanding slave, you want to reach a higher level."

"At that time, my slave's understanding of the degree of 'sufficiency' was that I no longer had to live cautiously, and no longer had to live a life that was worse than death."

"Knowing that I have met you, Xiao Qian, and my adoptive mother... I have finally let go of these bone-deep obsessions and become truly content."

Finally, Lu Yi smiled and said: "Perhaps these people just lack love, so they make up for it in other ways."

Lu Mingyu patted her hand: "It will get better and better in the future."

Lu Yi said: "I'm satisfied with my slave. Who can be a slave now? The empress's side is said to be the most important palace maid, and even the chief managers in the palace. They all respect slaves. It's not better, that's enough."

Lu Mingyu didn't speak, just held her hand.

Lu Yi didn't say anything more. She had never been a talkative person, and she didn't like to express her feelings.

If these words hadn't really come from the bottom of her heart, if she hadn't really hidden them in her heart for a long time and couldn't bear them anymore, she would never have said them.

Dinner was brought in quickly.

Since Changsun Tao was not here, Lu Yi ate with her.

The two of them were talking and laughing, but they didn't feel bored at all.

After meal.The two of them were gargling and staring at the secret guard in Princess Jinhuai's palace who came with the news.

"Your Majesty, after Concubine Liu left, Princess Jinhuai tried every means to deliver a message outside the palace."

When Lu Mingyu heard this, she didn't show any surprise. She asked, "Where's the news? Have you got it?"

The secret guard replied respectfully: "Because it was a verbal message, the news was never received, but the person who sent the news went to the Chen Mansion."

"It's interesting to say that when my subordinate was about to intercept the message, the person delivering the message was stopped by others."

"My subordinates speculate that Mrs. Shangshu's people blocked the message and deliberately prevented it from being sent to the Third Young Master."

Lu Mingyu made a quick decision: "You go there in person and pretend to be Jin Huai's person to find the Third Young Master. But if you want to make a fuss, it would be best if you are discovered as soon as you find the Third Young Master and reveal that you are Jin Huai's person. Then you have to escape and let Third Young Master can’t get any news.”

"Yes, ma'am."

The dark guard led the order to retreat.

After the secret guard left, Lu Yi chuckled: "This Mrs. Chen is quite a character."

Lu Mingyu smiled: "It seems that he is very satisfied with you, and wants to let his bastard marry you as a stepping stone for his eldest son to achieve success."

"She must also know that the concubine may have a relationship with Jin Huai, so she took precautions early and interfered with it. The purpose was to prevent the concubine from becoming a princess, so that she could become famous and threaten the legitimate son."

Lu Yi said: "If the consort of our dynasty has outstanding talents and learning, he can serve the country. According to Chen Shaoyou's talent, if he marries the princess, he will definitely have a good fortune. It is normal for Mrs. Chen to be worried."

Lu Mingyu sighed: "There are a lot of intrigues inside the mansion. The battles between wives and concubines, and the battles between concubines and concubines, are going on day by day."

Lu Yi said: "What else can they do if they don't fight? There is only so much property in the family, and there is only one head of the family. Who doesn't want to be a master who responds to everything?"

Lu Mingyu was helpless: "The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant. People are often bound by desires."

After a pause, she smiled and said: "I shouldn't say this. If I didn't have Zhaohua, I would probably live like this, so I have no right to ridicule other people's lifestyles."

"It seems that the position of queen has made me inflated. I have to control it. I can't become a queen and be annoying."

Lu Yi covered her lips and laughed: "Others are tired of me thinking that the queen doesn't care. What the queen cares about is how Chen Shaoyou will react when he knows that Princess Jin Huai sent him a message."

Lu Mingyu raised her lips: "Of course, I also care about what Mrs. Liu said that made Jin Huai ignore my instructions and send a letter to Chen Shaoyou."

Lu Yi said: "My Lady, don't be impatient. It won't take long for you to find out."
