After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 220 Transformation
Outside the palace, Mrs. Qin and her daughter saw the eunuch coming out. They thought he was taking them in, so they took a step forward. Unexpectedly, the eunuch said: "Mrs. Qin, the Queen Mother and the Emperor are still playing cards inside. Please wait a moment. ”

When Mrs. Qin heard this, she frowned and felt a little unhappy.

The Queen Mother and the Emperor are playing cards inside?

In the past, as soon as she entered the palace, the Queen Mother would immediately summon her, but today, she was actually asked to wait here?

Qin Yue'er also felt uncomfortable.

Her father was the Duke of Qin who had made countless contributions to Dayan. No matter how noble the Queen Mother was, she should not deny them face.

What does wait mean?

This is clearly leaving them hanging!

But when she thought about what the eunuch said about playing cards, she remembered what Shangguan Xueer said.

Could it be that Qiao Jingjing is up to something?

But they didn't expect that they had to wait for half an hour.

However, no matter how arrogant Qiao Jingjing is, she won't be able to stay active for long. She will definitely make a fool of herself at today's banquet.

Mother and daughter waited patiently.

This was the first time they saw their son on duty.

Seeing his son's transformation, Father Lu and Mother Lu were very pleased.

The emperor was in a good mood at this time, and his voice was a little gentler, "No courtesy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mrs. Qin and her daughter stood up.

Lu Xingyan naturally saw his family, and he nodded towards them imperceptibly.

Lu Xingyan is now the emperor's personal guard, responsible for protecting the emperor's safety. He must follow the emperor wherever he goes.

Father Lu and Mother Lu were also very happy to see their youngest son.

But this is the palace, and there are many eunuchs and guards standing in front of this door.

Both mother and daughter's faces were faintly green, and they were very angry.

So the emperor just entered the inner hall, and he stayed in front of the door to guard it.

Therefore, the two of them dared not speak out in anger.

After a while, the palace door finally opened. The emperor and the empress dowager walked out first, followed by Lu Xingzhi and others.

He was wearing the uniform of an imperial guard. He was already tall, but the uniform made him even more tall and handsome, and his eyes were firm and bright.

Thinking of this, her hatred for Qiao Jingjing deepened even more.

The Queen Mother glanced at the two of them, with a gentle expression on her face, and said to Mrs. Qin: "Feng'er, I've kept you waiting for a long time."

As soon as Qiao Jingjing stepped out of the palace door, she saw Lu Xingyan guarding the door.

Seeing the emperor and the empress dowager come out, Mrs. Qin and her daughter could only suppress their dissatisfaction and quickly bowed down and saluted, "I have seen the emperor and the empress dowager."

Qiao Jingjing must have said something in front of the Queen Mother, so the Queen Mother didn't want to see them!

"It should be." Mrs. Qin said with a smile, her face was calm, and there was no trace of the anger just now.

"Is this Yue'er?" The Queen Mother's eyes fell on Qin Yue'er, "I haven't seen her for several years, but she turned out to be so beautiful."

"It's just a bad girl." Mrs. Qin said.

"Come here and show the Ai family." The Queen Mother waved to Qin Yue'er.

Qin Yue'er hesitated.

She didn't want to be chosen as the emperor's concubine.

But the Queen Mother spoke, and no matter how reluctant she was, she had no choice but to step forward.

The Queen Mother took Qin Yue'er's hand and looked at her carefully for a moment. Thinking of something, she couldn't help but look at Qiao Jingjing with doubts in her heart.

But she didn't say anything, she just praised, "He's a good boy too," and let go of Qin Yue'er's hand.

and also?
Qin Yue'er frowned.

What do you mean?
She glanced around, and when she saw Qiao Jingjing and Lu Shuangshuang, she secretly sneered.

Could it be that the Queen Mother was comparing her with those two village girls?
Are they worthy? "Mother, it's almost time, it's time to pass." The emperor had a very bad impression of Qin Yue'er and said calmly without even looking at her.

The Queen Mother nodded.

Qiao Jingjing, who was standing next to Lu Xingzhi, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The emperor's impression of Qin Yue'er still remained on the horse race, and it was impossible to change his view of her easily.

And as long as the emperor doesn't change his mind about Qin Yue'er, it's impossible for him to fall in love with her.

With this thought, she glanced at Qin Yue'er, but to her surprise, the other party also looked at her.

The coldness in the other party's eyes made Qiao Jingjing frown, and she felt wary.

After several contacts, she already knew that Qin Yue'er was narrow-minded and vicious.

She was afraid that she still held a grudge against her.

It seemed that she had to take good precautions.

Today was a beautiful day, the sun was shining brightly, and the palace banquet was held in the imperial garden.

When the group arrived at the imperial garden, it was already filled with officials and female relatives.

Seeing the arrival of the emperor and others, the officials and female relatives stood up and saluted.

Among the officials, Qiao Jingjing spotted Qin Guogong and Qin Xuan at a glance.

Both father and son are so outstanding that they can be seen by others even when they are in a crowd.

After the emperor said "flat body", everyone stood up.

After the emperor and the empress dowager took their seats on the high seats, everyone also sat down in turn.

Qiao Jingjing saw Mother Lu who was sitting next to her lowering her head after entering the Royal Garden. She was confused, but she didn't ask anything. Instead, she calmly blocked all eyes for her.

This is the first time that the women of the Lu family have entered the palace for a banquet, especially Mother Lu. This is not only the first time for her to enter the palace, but also the first time for her to show her face in front of a noble lady in the capital.

The ladies were very curious about her.

After they sat down, many eyes looked over.

Although Qiao Jingjing didn't know what Mother Lu was worried about, seeing how she avoided others' scrutiny, she wanted to help her block everyone's prying eyes.

And among the gazes of the crowd, she noticed a noble lady staring at her almost ecstatically.

Qiao Jingjing frowned slightly.

The woman noticed Qiao Jingjing's gaze, finally came back to her senses, smiled at her as if nothing had happened, and turned away.

When Qiao Jingjing saw this, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

But what she can be sure of is that the woman must know Mother Lu.

And is Mother Lu's concern about that woman?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of the middle-aged man she met in Zuixian Tower.

That day, the middle-aged man was also very rude and called Mother Lu Xiaozhu and Aunt Rong Xiaorong. Apparently he knew them both.

But how did Mother Lu and Aunt Rong know these people in the countryside?

Those who can sit here to attend the Emperor's birthday banquet today are not ordinary people, and they all have high status.

Unable to help herself, she glanced at the woman again, and it was only then that she noticed a burly man sitting next to her.

The man looked familiar.

Taking a closer look, isn't it the middle-aged man I met in Zuixian Tower that day?

Qiao Jingjing was surprised by this discovery.

The middle-aged man and the lady were sitting together, obviously they were husband and wife.

And this couple both know Mother Lu...

"The envoy from the Canglang Kingdom has an audience—"

At this moment, the eunuch's singing sounded, interrupting Qiao Jingjing's thoughts.

Everyone looked towards the entrance.
