Empress, she is rising step by step

Chapter 11 Acting
  "Concubine knows." Zhu Ci bit her lip gently, looking a little embarrassed.

"Concubine also knows that she has a bad background, even..." She blushed, lowered her head and twisted the handkerchief in her hand.

"This concubine has the opportunity to serve the Holy Lord. It is a blessing that she has cultivated for three generations. I don't dare to think about anything else. I am content to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain."

"Haha, I didn't expect you to be quite self-aware. However, it is already a great gift for you to have the honor to serve the emperor. You can only look at this face, and there is nothing else you can do with it. of."

Lu Zheng handed the snowball to the palace maid next to her, and she gently touched the folds on her body.

"I thought that the imperial concubine was capable of so much. It's nothing more than sending you to the emperor as soon as you are happy."

She thought of something and smiled very softly, "But the most important thing in a person is to be content. If you ask for too much, you will be resentful. It's good for you to do this. If you have the opportunity to give birth to a son and a half, you will be happy in this life. It’s worth it.”

Since she became pregnant, the emperor rarely visited her. I finally came to see her, but then left after a while.

The emperor is actually willing to favor a vulgar palace maid, but he is not willing to come to her! Concubine Bai probably made this move because she was afraid that she would fall out of favor if she became pregnant.

It's just that I finally found someone worthy of being on the stage, but I actually found a maid who did rough work, which really made me laugh to death.

Zhu Ci's face felt hot, her head lowered lower and lower, and her eyelashes were wet with tears.

"What the empress said is that I know that I am from a lowly background and just want to spend the rest of my life in peace. I don't dare to compete with you empresses for favor."

Lu Zheng saw Zhu Ci holding the handkerchief and crying, and said in disgust: "What are you crying for? I didn't say anything, and the emperor is not here. No one will show mercy to her. Stop crying, it's really bad luck!"

Lu Zheng glanced at it and ordered someone to look at the tea, "I have Gu Zhu's purple bamboo shoots here. I guess you haven't had anything good, so you might as well try it."

Zhu Ci sat for a while and said a few words, and finally left in a hurry with red eyes.

After leaving the Chunxi Hall, Zhu Ci's tears stopped. She deliberately pretended to look like she had never seen the world and was crying, so that Lucai would be wary of her.

It's not that she's afraid of Lu Cairen, it's just that she's so weak now that she really shouldn't make too many enemies.

Zhuying couldn't help it anymore, "Just now Lucai said that to you, why did you give her such a good thing? You also said that everything Snowball wears is better than that pair of earrings. Doesn't this mean that you are alive? Worse than a beast."

"There is no reason to take back what you have given away. She can say whatever she likes, and I will not lose a piece of meat. What I want to fight for is not day and night, but long-term. Besides, it is not easy to deal with her. !”

It is easier to deal with someone like Lu Cairen who cannot hide things and writes everything on his face. The ones that are difficult to deal with are those with Buddha faces and snake hearts, and are harmless to humans and animals.

Zhu Ci noticed a touch of cyan clothes passing by outside the door, and she winked at Zhuying.

"It's just that the Lucai people can say whatever they want to me, but I can't gossip about the imperial concubine at will."

She slammed the table hard and said angrily: "If it weren't for the promotion of the imperial concubine, how could I be where I am today."

"Yes, the imperial concubine is such a good person. I feel uncomfortable hearing this. What Lu Cai said is really unpleasant." Zhuying's face turned red with anger.

The door curtain was opened from the outside, and Jingyue walked in with tea.

"The Shangshi Bureau has sent lotus root cakes and peony cakes, and my servant has made a pot of hot tea. Master, please use some to cushion your stomach."

"Put it there first, I don't have much appetite." Zhu Ci forced a smile and said. Jingyue put it down as she was told and looked at Zhu Ci turning her back, as if she was about to cry.

She asked Zhuying, "Master, what happened? Wasn't he fine just now?"

"Don't mention it, it's not that the Chunxi Palace next door made the master angry just because he was pregnant."

Zhuying was extremely aggrieved, "My master is so kind as to go and see Lu Cairen, who would want to be embarrassed by her. Forget it, Lu Cairen also insinuated that the imperial concubine was not good enough. What did she say about the imperial concubine's virtue and unworthy of her position?" If it weren’t for her mother’s family’s power, the emperor wouldn’t even know who she is, which is really ugly.”

"That's enough, Zhuying. You're not allowed to talk too much!" Zhu Ci said sternly, giving Zhuying a hard look.

Zhuying murmured, "That's right. Master, you have such a good temper. No one else would be able to spare her."

"You also said that you won't listen to what I say, right?" Zhu Ci lowered her face and gave Zhuying a warning look, then turned her head and looked at Jingyue softly.

"I don't think the Lucai people came here intentionally. You must not tell the imperial concubine about this matter. The imperial concubine is at the time when the fetal force is unstable. She will definitely feel unhappy when she hears it. If there is any good, it will be a sin. .”

Jingyue's eyes rolled around, looking very shrewd.

"Master, don't worry, I don't know anything. I'll go and get busy first." After that, she threw up her sleeves and left.

That night, a dark shadow quietly entered Yongfu Palace.

"What? Lu Cairen, did she really say that?!" Bai Xinrui couldn't help but raise her eyebrows after hearing Jingyue's words.

"I don't dare to say anything false. Because the Lucai people lived in Qifeng Palace first, Princess Zhu wanted to pay a visit. Who knew that when she came back, her face was extremely ugly, as if she had been crying."

Jingyue's face was full of flattery, "Later, when I asked Zhuying, I found out that Lu Cairen had made Zhu Yunv very angry, and used guns and sticks to beat her, and even took the empress along with her."

"This bitch! With the support of Concubine Shu, you dare to slander me like this behind my back."

Lu Zheng had never been particularly respectful to Concubine Shu because he was related to her and was young and favored.

She didn't want to appear stingy and had given in over and over again. Unexpectedly, Lu Cairen turned his nose up and said that her virtue was not worthy of her role and that she relied on her mother's family to get where she is today.

"Hmph, my father and brother worked hard for Dayan and made great achievements in battle. Not to mention I am a concubine, to be disrespectful, I am a queen."

Bai Xinrui glanced at Jingyue and changed the topic, "Lu Cai is just a fifth-grade man, and he hasn't successfully given birth to a prince yet. He is so disrespectful to me. I can't wait until he gives birth to a prince someday."

"That's right, my servants also see that Lu Cai is really arrogant."

Jingyue echoed: "In the past, Lu Cairen offended the empress many times. The empress was tolerant and generous and did not care about her. Who would have thought that she did not repent, but became more and more lawless."

"I know." Bai Xinrui sneered repeatedly and looked sideways at Jingyue.

"You've been out long enough. Go back quickly. Don't make Zhu Ci suspicious. If she asks about you, you know what to say."
