Concubine, please respect yourself

Chapter 239
Early the next morning, the carriage of Duke Lu's mansion drove slowly towards the red wall.

Because it was important officials and women entering the palace to pay their respects, Fengxia Palace specially sent Aunt Mei Ying to pick them up.

The carriage stopped, and Mei Ying hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "But Mrs. Lu and Fourth Lady?"

As soon as the curtains moved, Shen Lan was wearing a jade bird gold silk brocade dress, and three or two red glass begonia hairpins were combed in a low bun.

She originally wanted to tidy up more plain, but her daughter told her to make it more expensive.It is too humble to say that you don't understand the meaning of the queen, and maybe you will be pinched as a soft persimmon.

Besides, the Lu family is considered to be powerful and powerful now, even if the aides and parties are not as good as the Wang family, they are deeply favored by the saints.

For this alone, there is no need to humble yourself in front of the queen!

"Ma'am?" Mei Ying stood in front of the carriage with a smile, she didn't salute, instead she asked cheerfully first.

Shen Lan supported Dan Zhi's hand and slowly lowered her hand, she nodded lightly and hummed.

Mei Ying looked at Shen Lan's haughty posture, but softened her voice, "Why don't you see Fourth Lady?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a delicate yellow figure emerging from the veil.

That gorgeous little lady, like a yellow hibiscus fluttering in the wind, is both bright and fragrant, and charming.

Even Mei Ying, who was used to seeing "a hundred flowers contending for beauty" in the palace, couldn't help sighing at such a wonderful person.

She was older, and her eyes were dimmed because she often did needlework in her early years.At the Qiqiao banquet that day, she did not see clearly the appearance of Miss Lu Si, but she was stunned for a long time when they met face to face today.

"Si Niang has met my aunt." Lu Ziyu saluted in a warm voice.

"Oh, fourth lady, you don't need to be too polite. The old slave was stunned by such a delicate character for a while, and I hope the madam and the lady don't take offense." Mei Ying smiled kindly, and hurriedly moved forward to make a comparison. Please move, "Please come with the old slave, the empress has just finished the morning inspection, and now she is waiting for the two of you."

Mei Ying led the way, Shen Lan and Lu Ziyu followed behind.

The two of them kept their eyes on each other.

When walking, he didn't look around.

Being able to have such a good upbringing when entering the palace for the first time is really different.

About half a cup of tea, Fengxia Palace arrived.

Mei Ying invited Shen Lan and Lu Ziyu to the front hall, "Madam and lady, sit down for a while, and this old servant will invite the empress."

Shen Lan responded with a smile, but Lu Ziyu secretly looked at Fengxia Palace quietly.

From the moment she first came in, she realized that the maids and eunuchs in Fengxia Palace were much better than the ones she saw on the way into the palace.

The appearance of everyone concentrating on doing things, did not dare to slack off at all.

Looking at the decorations in the front hall, it looks simple and elegant, but in fact it hides a mystery.

If the guess is correct, there should be a lot of traps in this room.

But a queen, why are you so cautious.

Who is she guarding against?
Lu Ziyu narrowed his eyes as he thought about it, and then he heard a transmitted voice, "The empress is here——"

Shen Lan and Lu Ziyu hurriedly stood up to greet each other, because they were foreign ministers and officials, they had to kneel down and worship.

Lu Ziyu kowtowed, and the luxurious phoenix robe passed her hand. The bottom of the robe was hemmed with gold thread. The sharp thorns were like blades, and a red mark was scratched on the back of that white hand.

Empress Wang sat on the phoenix chair, she smiled and said, "The Lu family's family members have seen each other, so give them seats quickly."

"Thank you Empress—"

Lu Ziyu endured the tingling pain on the back of her hand, she gently supported Shen Lan, and sat on the chair next to her.

"The Lu family has been in the capital for a long time. I should have invited you to drink tea long ago. However, there are many complicated things in the harem these days, and I can't get away for a while." Queen Wang raised her phoenix eyes, with the attitude of a superior, "It's rare After begging for a coincidence, I have free time, so I hurriedly invite you to come."

The maid brings hot tea.

"This is the cold spring tea that His Majesty just rewarded. Although it is tea, it has the fragrance of flowers and buds." Queen Wang glanced at Lu Ziyu, who was drinking tea quietly, "It's just like the fourth lady, with a lively look. It's fragrant."

Shen Lan's eyebrows twitched, and the hand holding the tea trembled involuntarily.

Queen Wang, what is the meaning of this?
Lu Ziyu calmly put down the teacup, and did not shy away from meeting the Queen's gaze, "The Queen's empress is absurd, and my servants can't bear the word 'lively and fragrant'."

Lively and fragrant?Although it sounded like a good word, when it came out of the Queen's mouth, it was mocking her lack of dignity.

"Don't say that you can't afford it. I have been drafting for many years, but I have never seen such a stunning fourth lady. If she is placed in the harem, I am afraid that Baihua will be ashamed."

Shen Lan's complexion was stiff, and the cold spring tea she drank in her mouth felt extremely bitter.

From what the empress meant, did she want Si Niang to enter the palace?
The saint is already old, if he sent his daughter in at this time, wouldn't it be the same as being pushed into the fire pit alive?

This thought is really vicious.
"Madam Lu, what do you think?" Queen Wang took a long breath while holding the tea, and asked Shen Lan casually.

Before Shen Lan could answer, Lu Ziyu hurriedly greeted her with a smile, "Si Niang was born and raised by my mother, to be praised so much by the empress, if I think about it, my mother would wake up from her dreams at night with laughter."

This Tai Chi fight obviously never answered the words of Queen Wang.

Shen Lan was touched by her daughter, and the sullenness on her face disappeared immediately. She glared at Lu Ziyu angrily, "Don't be presumptuous in front of the Empress."

The Queen Wang watched the pair of children, mother and daughter play, and she was happy to support her, "Jiaohua still needs fertile soil to grow. If the fourth lady needs my help in marriage, she should let me know. I am also from the royal family anyway. More than half of the dignitaries in Beijing also know the basics, and they are sure to be able to choose a satisfactory marriage for the fourth lady."

"My little girl is reckless, she hasn't reached her age yet this year. My wife wants this crazy girl to learn the rules again, so as not to harm her husband's back house in the future." Shen Lan learned to be smart, but she declined in a few words.

The three exchanged pleasantries again, and when the sun rose, Chun Chi who was beside Concubine Mu Gui came.

"My maidservant pays respects to the empress." Chun Chi saluted politely.

"Why are you here? But what's the matter in Qingluan Palace?" Queen Wang took a sip of tea.

"It's nothing serious." Chun Chi glanced at Lu Ziyu hesitantly, and said with a look of embarrassment, "It's just that the Thirteenth Princess heard that Miss Lu entered the palace, and now she is making a fuss in Qingluan Palace to invite someone over. teach painting"

Lu Ziyu was taken aback for a moment, a little confused about the twists and turns.

It's almost noon, where did the thirteen princesses get the leisure to paint?

Queen Wang could see clearly, she sneered softly, "Did Concubine Mu Gui come to snatch someone from me?"

Chun Chi pretended to be frightened, and quickly knelt on the ground, "I don't dare. It's true that the thirteenth princess is making a big fuss. If you don't invite people over, I'm afraid Qingluan Palace will be turned upside down later."

Everyone in the palace knew that the thirteenth princess was the saint's favorite princess, if she really lost her temper, it would be a toss to death.

Queen Wang frowned in displeasure, and looked at Lu Ziyu with a little more meaning, "Then Mrs. Lu and Fourth Lady should go first, it just so happens that the Palace should set up a meal."

Shen Lan was already on pins and needles, but when she heard that she could go, she got up quickly.

Several people saluted and left, and just after turning the corner and crossing the road in front of Fengxia Palace, a bright yellow sedan chair slowly stopped at the entrance of Fengxia Palace.
　There's a storm outside, and there's a power outage at home.
　　Let's guess what Mu Guifei's intentions are, hahaha, is it intentional or unintentional? !
