The concubine is addicted to the world

Chapter 321, distance

In the palace, it was red as far as the eye could see, many noble ladies were standing under the plum tree, chatting and laughing, they were so colorful and charming.

Lu Ning followed closely behind the eldest princess of Xinyang, very well-behaved, many wives saw the eldest princess of Xinyang, and came over to make trouble.

"I haven't seen the princess for a few years, she is still the same, she looks like a girl, I don't think we are all old."

"That's right, this is the princess, she looks so stunning, as cute as carved jade."

Many people surrounded Lu Ning and started pointing and praising her. Lu Ning smiled and listened, quite gentle.

Lu Ying at the other end stood out from the crowd, standing out from the crowd, especially conspicuous, with outstanding and gorgeous appearance, and her dress was very refined.

Many noble ladies praised Lu Ying one after another, as if they had already confirmed that Lu Ying was the default concubine.

Lu Ying shyly covered her mouth and smiled, "Sisters, don't talk nonsense, everything is up to the queen mother, Lu Ying dare not speak in private."

Lu Ning listened from the side, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, it was really ridiculous to show a virtuous appearance even though she clearly wanted to be a concubine.

From the corner of his eyes, he saw a figure, which seemed to have changed into emerald green, which was much inferior to his previous attire. He looked at Lu Ying with his eyes, wishing he could poke her to death.

Lu Xiaoyin was angry and furious. When she got off the carriage, Lu Ying sprained her foot and stepped on Lu Xiaoyin's skirt. A big shoe print stood out.

Lu Xiaoyin was so anxious that she was about to cry, she wanted to go to Lu Ying to do her best, Princess Qin glanced at Lu Xiaoyin, and asked her to change another one, she didn't blame Lu Ying at all, Lu Xiaoyin was extremely wronged.

Without the exquisite clothes specially made, she was originally on par with Lu Ying, but now she forgets that standing in front of Lu Ying is just a maid.

Lu Ying glanced at Lu Xiaoyin, the corners of her mouth curled up, ignoring the resentment in Lu Xiaoyin's eyes.

If you dare to fight with yourself, you deserve it!
Lu Xiaoyin was angry and furious, she turned her eyes to look at Lu Ning who was at the side, Lu Ying made it clear that she was bullying her, and pinched the persimmon softly.

Lu Xiaoyin couldn't swallow this breath, so she walked to Lu Ning's side.

"Sister." Lu Xiaoyin's almond-shaped eyes were hazy and glaring, "It was my fault before. I shouldn't have targeted you. I misunderstood the third sister. I was deceived for a while. Can my sister forgive me?"

If it was before, Lu Ning's temper would probably be forgiven.

But now, Lu Ning raised her eyebrows, and Lu Xiaoyin was holding back her anger, wanting to confront Lu Ying.

"My sister is worrying too much, why would I care about it with my sister?" Lu Ning smiled half-smile, "Sister

It's better not to cry, if you want to let the Queen Mother know about such a happy day, I'm afraid..."

When Lu Xiaoyin heard this, she immediately suppressed her expression, looked around in panic, and was relieved when no one noticed her.

The corner of Lu Ning's mouth showed a slight sarcasm, which made Lu Xiaoyin feel ashamed and angry, "Sister!"

At this time, Lu Linen came over, dressed coldly, and his eyes fell directly on Lu Ning.

Lu Ning went up to greet her, "Brother!"

Lu Xiaoyin has always been afraid of Lu Linen, and sometimes envied Lu Ning for having such an elder brother.

"Brother." Lu Xiaoyin called out bravely.

Lu Linen hummed lightly, and looked at Lu Xiaoyin, but with a three-point cold expression, so frightened that Lu Xiaoyin didn't dare to go forward, and walked away listlessly.

"Don't believe her words, you have no good intentions."　
Lu Linen came here to remind Lu Ning, and Lu Ning nodded.

"Don't worry, brother, I won't be fooled, just tease her."

Lu Linen smiled, "It's good that you know, don't let my mother and I worry."

Lu Ning hummed.

Soon, with a loud shout, Empress Dowager Lu came out with the support of everyone.

Empress Dowager Lu had a smile on her face, she was dressed in a dignified phoenix robe, and a man followed behind her.

The man has a luxurious temperament, a slender figure, a pair of sword eyebrows into the temples, and his facial features are very prominent.

Lu Ning stared, far inferior to Lu Linen's grandeur, her eyes made her feel uncomfortable, and a dark aura came over her face.

Lu Linen was upright and awe-inspiring. Lu Ning glanced at her and withdrew her expression.

"How does Ning'er look?"

Lu Ning knew what Lu Linen asked, and shook her head, "It's not as handsome as big brother,

The eyebrows are full of calculations. "

Lu Ning smiled and added, "Ning'er still thinks big brother is the best."

Lu Linen's eyes softened when he heard the words, the siblings lowered their heads and whispered something, completely forgetting themselves, and didn't care what the Queen Mother Lu said.

Lu Linen raised his eyes from time to time to look around, his tall figure tried to hide Lu Ning's
In the past, Lu Linen had never been concerned about gains and losses, but now, Lu Ning is too dazzling.

Lu Linen was subconsciously on guard.

At this time, a woman suddenly approached Lu Ning, with a beautiful face, a tranquil temperament, and a well-dressed outfit.

"Miss Lu?"

Lu Ning was slightly surprised. She didn't know the person in front of her. Before she could speak, the woman smiled at Lu Linen, "Young Master Lu, we meet again."

Lu Linen frowned, "Princess."

This person is Lu Yaruo, the first daughter of King Chen, and the younger sister of Lu Xi.

Lu Ning raised her eyebrows, she thought she was looking for Lu Linen through herself, she didn't even look at herself.

"I didn't expect Mr. Lu to be my aunt's son. According to your seniority, Ya Ruo should call you cousin, cousin Lu."

Princess Yaruo was pleasantly surprised and happy to see Lu Linen at the concubine selection banquet. She had made various inquiries in private before, but since then there has been no news from Lu Linen, which really annoyed her for a while.

Unexpectedly, Lu Linen turned out to be his cousin, with a tall and straight appearance and a dignified appearance, Princess Yaruo immediately took a fancy to Lu Linen.

I just inquired about it just now, and Lu Linen has not yet had a family. She has been married for many years, and Princess Yaruo is beyond happy.

Not to mention Lu Linen, even Lu Ning frowned, and Lu Linen tugged at Lu Ning's sleeve indiscriminately.

Lu Ning stepped forward and stood in front of Princess Yaruo. The two were about the same size, so Lu Ning grabbed Princess Yaruo.

"You are Princess Yaruo, right? Oh, I've heard about you. You are indeed very beautiful. The rumors are true."

Princess Yaruo froze for a moment, glanced at Lu Ning, and frowned.

"Cousin Lu, I have something to say..."

"Wow, Princess Yaruo's headdress is so beautiful, it looks really good on the princess's head."

Lu Ning is like a little nymphomaniac, boasting about Princess Yaruo, Princess Yaruo
In a hurry, I watched Lu Linen leave, but couldn't push Lu Ning away.

"Hehe, is that right? If my cousin likes it, I'll give it to my cousin later."

Princess Yaruo was discouraged, suddenly a little absent-minded, and looked at Lu Ning with disgust, but who said that Lu Ning is Lu Linen's younger sister.

For this point, Princess Yaruo has to give some face.

Lu Ning smiled, "Thank you Princess."

Lu Ning twittered in her ear, Princess Yaruo was a little impatient, so she hurriedly found an excuse and left in a hurry.

Lu Ning covered her mouth and smiled, "Finally left."

Princess Yaruo frowned, "Damn it, the twittering is endless, how could my aunt have such a daughter, and she was sealed as a county, it's a shame for the princess!"

The servant girl nodded hurriedly, "Congratulations to the princess, you have found Mr. Lu, after the prince chooses the concubine, the princess can propose marriage to the queen mother,

The queen mother loves the princess so much, she will definitely agree. "

When Lu Linen was mentioned, Princess Yaruo's face was blushed, but when she listened carefully to the maid's words, she immediately frowned.

Just now when she went to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager Lu, she happened to hear that sentence, asking Lu Xi to choose Lu Ning as the imperial concubine.

If that idiot Lu Ning married her elder brother and became her sister-in-law, how could she marry Lu Linen again?
Isn't this spread out to make people laugh?
Princess Yaruo's happy mood was instantly annihilated, and her face was gloomy.

"Princess?" The servant girl called out, "What's wrong with you, Princess?"

Princess Yaruo's dark eyes made the servant girl shudder unconsciously.

At this moment, Empress Dowager Lu smiled and said, "Today, we will cleanse the dust for Prince Chen, and make it lively. If everyone wants to perform, you can come forward and prepare a talent for each person. It will start after a stick of incense."

After the Empress Dowager Lu finished speaking, many noble ladies looked eager to try, and they were very excited.

Lu Ying and Lu Xiaoyin's eyes were fixed on Prince Chen's son Lu Xi, as if they wanted to swallow people alive.

Others moved forward, while Lu Ning retreated, not wanting to show off at all.

Because of Princess Qin's relationship, Lu Ying stepped forward and followed closely beside Princess Qin. She was also the noble daughter closest to Prince Chen's son.

"The talent in the past seems to be a little lacking. Today, let's do something different. Everyone plays music.

Otherwise, the style of music should be different, and the style of writing and handwriting should also be different. If the one who can't continue, he will be punished severely, and then he will be replaced again until the last person. The last person will be mourned. There will be a lot of rewards. "

Empress Dowager Lu said suddenly.

All the noble ladies frowned. If it is calculated like this, of course it will be easier as you go forward, but it will be more difficult as you go forward, and you might even make a fool of yourself.

Princess Qin also nodded, "It's really fast to divide into several groups, and you can also distinguish the adaptability and talent of the girls. This idea is indeed novel."

Empress Dowager Lu smiled, "Well, girls draw lots to decide, each choose a group for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting,
Each group until there are five people left, and then compare again. "

After saying that, Nanny Lu led the maid, holding a tray in her hand. On the tray was a bamboo tube with several bamboo sticks inserted obliquely inside.

Empress Dowager Lu glanced at Lu Ying, "Sister Ying, smoke it."

Lu Ying was flattered to be the first one, and it was a great honor to be named by the Empress Dowager Lu.

Lu Ying stepped forward and took one at random, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is proficient in everything, and she can choose any one, and she can pass the test.

She took out one and took a look. Lu Ying felt no pressure at all.

Soon the ladies came forward one by one, holding a bamboo stick in each hand.

Music, chess, calligraphy and painting are all different, some people are happy while others are sad.

When it was Lu Ning's turn, Lu Ning grabbed one casually, and it turned out to be a book, just like Lu Ying.

"Don't be afraid, it doesn't matter if you lose." Princess Xinyang comforted with a smile.

Lu Ning nodded, "Mother, don't worry, the daughter has to persevere in the first round, as for the future, let's forget it."

Princess Xinyang smiled.

In the imperial garden, the colorful flowers are beautiful in an instant, and the laughter is as pleasant as silver bells, but mixed together, chattering, it makes people feel a little upset.

Kun Qian Palace

The two figures went straight to the palace as if they had entered a land of no one, one was light and the other was black, the black was domineering and the light was elegant and gentle.

Emperor Yusheng glanced at the two of them, and the corners of his mouth curled up. The two of them just stood there,
It is the posture of heaven and man.

Especially that touch of black, although there is half a mask on the face, there is a domineering arrogance in the eyes, showing the demeanor of a king, which cannot be ignored.

The light-colored figure, with elegant gestures and a calm expression, was half a step behind the black man.

Emperor Yusheng was a little surprised. Although he had heard of Qi Yao's name for a long time, he had never had the chance to see him. Half of his face was surprisingly exquisite, and his thin lips were slightly pursed. He didn't know how stunning he should be without the mask.

"Emperor Dongchu has admired his great name for a long time, and seeing him today, he really lives up to his reputation."

Emperor Yusheng was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, slightly thin, with a slender but thin body, with cheeks on both sides
Slightly sunken, a pair of eyes revealing a sense of persistence and helplessness.

Two generations of emperors looked at each other.

Qi Yao strode forward like a shooting star, with his hands tied behind his back, squinting at Emperor Yu, and went straight to the point.

"What do I want?"

Emperor Yusheng smiled slowly, "It is rumored that the Emperor Dongchu acted resolutely and did not procrastinate, but he kept his promises. Since the Emperor Dongchu is so sincere, I will speak frankly."

The corner of Qi Yao's mouth twitched, "If it really works miraculously, I will definitely satisfy you!"

Emperor Yusheng dismissed everyone, only Eunuch He, Qi Yaoji Wuyou and Emperor Yusheng were left in the room.

Emperor Yu Sheng walked a few steps forward, sat on the dragon chair, turned a button, and a brocade box popped out of the dragon chair.

Qi Yao narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists tightly.

"Tianzhu Mountain must have been visited by the Emperor of Eastern Chu. Ice silkworms are hard to find, especially if they are alive. I got one by chance, and it can repair the internal organs.
It is rare in a thousand years, even if you climb a mountain, you may not find one. "

Qi Yao raised his eyebrows and looked at Emperor Yusheng's darkened eye sockets, "If you eat it, all poisons will be cured, why keep it?"

Emperor Yusheng smiled, "If you can hit once, you can hit twice. I'm not afraid of Emperor Dongchu's jokes. I don't have military power in my hands. Even if I'm not poisoned, I can't even keep the throne. Useful."

When Qi Yao came, he found out about the Great Yong Kingdom, and Emperor Yusheng had nothing to hide.

Qi Yao suddenly hooked his lips into a smile, "You are honest. If I want to use Tianzhu Mountain, I will send people to guard it. If it works in three months, I will definitely help Emperor Dayong!"

Emperor Yusheng was slightly surprised, and glanced at Qi Yao. It was rumored that Qi Yao was addicted to his wife, and it was true, and he didn't even hesitate to borrow soldiers.

Emperor Yusheng didn't even have to guess who this ice silkworm would be used for. It was rumored that Qi Yao had been traveling all over the world, looking for a way to bring people back to life.

It sounds a little nonsense, but Emperor Yusheng believed that Qi Yao must have had a clue, otherwise, a few days ago, he would not easily let go of the provocation of the defeated country.

He often does good deeds, reduces taxes, and solves problems for the people. In the four directions of Eastern Chu, Southeast, North, and North, a large temple is built in each of the four directions, in which Su Han's tablet is enshrined, and the incense is constantly burning.

To accumulate virtue and do good deeds like this must be inspired, and sometimes it is not impossible.

"Thank you." Emperor Yusheng said slowly, and threw the brocade box in his hand to Qi Yao, who took it with one hand, feeling cool.

Opening the brocade box, a silkworm as transparent as jade, as big as the palm of your hand, was slowly wriggling in snow-white color.

Qi Yao buckled the brocade box, and was dressed in black to be independent from the world, making it unattainable.

Royal garden
Lu Ying modestly asked everyone to write first, and each of them wrote a poem. The difference was that it would be difficult if the handwriting was different.

The further you go, the more difficult it is. Some of the previous ones have been written almost, and then they slow down.

Lu Ning suddenly clenched her hands tightly, her heart was beating fast, thumping, and one hand was pressed tightly on the

A dense layer of sweat oozed from his chest and forehead.

It was Lu Ning's turn, but Lu Ying took the lead and wrote a poem, but the handwriting was neatly written in lowercase plum blossoms, every word bloomed like a plum blossom, presumably she had practiced.

"Seventh Sister, it's your turn." With a half-smile, Lu Ying took the lead in writing Lu Ning's favorite plum blossom lowercase, and some Lu Ning would make a fool of herself.

Princess Yaruo was in charge of accepting it. Princess Yaruo volunteered and glanced at Lu Ying.

"Miss Lu, the queen mother will judge later, so you don't need to mention it."

Lu Ying nodded when she heard the words, and sat aside awkwardly, not saying a word.

Princess Yaruo and Lu Xi have a very good relationship. Princess Yaruo doesn't look down on Lu Ying at all, and is not worthy of being her sister-in-law at all, so she has a bit of hostility towards Lu Ying.

Lu Ning paused for a while, Princess Yaruo didn't urge her, and even sent away the onlookers.

"Cousin Lu, don't worry and take your time."

Princess Yaruo wanted to curry favor with Lu Ning, but Lu Ning covered her mouth and smiled, and quickly wrote something on the paper, her movements were as unrestrained as flowing clouds and flowing water.

Soon, Lu Ning handed the paper to Princess Yaruo.

"Thank you, princess."

Princess Yaruo took a look, her original casual gaze became a little surprised.

This crazy grass is really amazing.

But soon, Princess Yaruo put away her smile, nodded lightly, and went to the next lady.

Then when he turned around, he bypassed a rockery while no one was paying attention.

"Where is it, look for it quickly." Princess Yaruo began to search.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps next to her ears, Princess Yaruo was startled, she finally found it, she let go and flew out, over the palace wall.

"Oops, send someone to look for it, it would be bad if someone finds out."
