The dynasty has a daughter who is so tough

Chapter 234

Walking to the center of the hall, she knelt down on one knee and bowed her hands in salute: "Waiting for Lu Tiying to meet the Empress Dowager, a thousand years old."

"If you wish, you will be free of courtesy." Fang Yi said kindly.

"Thank you Queen Mother." Lu Tiying stood up and cupped her hands.

"Look, Empress Dowager, Ruyihou's way of saluting is quite different from that of courtiers and concubines. Is this a ceremony only for generals?" A concubine next to her said with a smile.

Fang Yi nodded: "That's right, it's only a military general's gift. The Ai family has been in the palace for so many years, and they have rarely received such a gift. I didn't even expect to have a military general's daughter-in-law. It seems that the Ai family is really lucky. .”

"Congratulations to the Queen Mother, congratulations to the Queen Mother!" All the concubines in the room said in unison.

On the contrary, it made Lu Tiying a little unnatural, are they really so happy?
The imperial concubine Guan Yuzhen got up with a smile: "I seem to be sitting in the wrong seat today." After saying that, she looked at Lu Tiying and saluted.

The intention is obviously to let Lu Tiying sit in the seat she vacated.

Could it be that they suddenly became so friendly because they were going to be queens?

Thinking about the strict hierarchy in this palace, and Wei Kai is a straightforward and wise king, they, as the women in the harem, also understand that the only way to survive is to compromise.Lu Tiying thought about it.

The Empress Dowager pointed to the seat that Guan Yuji had just vacated, and said with a smile, "Sit down quickly."

Lu Tiying bowed her hands to her, and then to Guan Yujun, before walking to her seat and sitting down.It's just a position, and I don't bother to give way to them.

After she sat down, the maids also brought up the wine and dishes one after another.And poured wine for them.

When the wine was poured, the empress dowager waved her hand, and all the maids saluted and retreated.

Empress Dowager Fang Yi then said: "Today, I invite you to come to Ai's house to get together. Firstly, after the accident in Changle Palace, the atmosphere in the harem has been gloomy recently, so Ai's family decided to make a villa today and gather you all together." Have fun, you won't dislike me as an old woman, will you?"

"The empress dowager is worrying too much, and the concubines can't wait to ask for it." All the women in the room said in unison.

Lu Tiying was taken aback when she heard that, and thought, is this kind of saying fixed?
"It's good if you don't dislike it." Fang Yi smiled again.

Looking at Lu Tiying: "Well, this is the second time, today's protagonist is Ruyiwai."

Lu Tiying was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly bowed her hands in salute.

Fang Yi looked at her and continued to smile and said: "Ruyihou has made great contributions to the Wei family and the people of the world in suppressing the rebellion of Du's family. The Ai family is also grateful. In addition, Ruyihou is deeply loved by the emperor." A few days ago, the emperor personally came to express his wishes to the Ai family, and he has decided to be the empress candidate as he wishes. The Ai family has also agreed."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the concubines in the room were suddenly colorful.

After all, guessing the bad news and confirming the bad news are two different things.

Everyone knows that Wei Ji likes Lu Tiying, but does the Empress Dowager also like her?Alas, how will we live in the days to come?Are you a widow?

All the girls felt extremely lost.

After the empress dowager Fang Yi announced the bad news, she talked to Lu Tiying again, telling her to go around with the sisters in the harem if she had nothing to do. They are all women serving the emperor together, so they have to be as close as sisters.

Lu Tiying also responded one by one, thinking in her heart, it seems that when I go back tonight, I will do ideological work with Wei Kai, and try my best to get even exposure to rain and dew.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of the empress dowager's kindness.

In fact, this is also the reason why she didn't want to be Wei Ji's woman from the beginning, not because she didn't like him, but because she didn't like this kind of life style.

A man has countless women, what is the meaning of love between men and women?
"Then introduce yourself one by one now, and let Ruyihou get to know you one by one." The Empress Dowager said again.

She said so, who would dare to disobey the women present?
Guan Yuyu spoke first, "Then the concubine will come first."

After the Empress Dowager nodded, she looked at Lu Tiying and said, "My concubine's surname is Guan and her name is Yuji. She is a noble concubine in the harem. She has been in the palace for eight years and now lives in Yuhua Palace. If the Marquis is free, Welcome to sit in the concubine's mansion."

Lu Tiying cupped her hands: "If you have time, you must visit the imperial concubine in Yuhua Palace."

Guan Yuzhen nodded and saluted, indicating that the introduction was over.

Then a woman sitting next to her said again: "Concubine Xie Changru, who is a concubine of the first rank in the harem. She has been in the palace for six years and now lives in Meixiangyuan. You are welcome to come often when you are free."

Lu Tiying cupped her hands: "Concubine Xie Shu invited, Tiying will definitely come to visit when she is free."

Immediately afterwards, Concubine Hui who was next to Lu Tiying also began to introduce herself.

When looking at her, Lu Tiying took a look at the people in the room, and found that besides herself and the empress dowager, there were eleven concubines in total.They should all be high-ranking concubines in the harem.

Although listening to them introduce one by one is very boring, it is also a good way to get to know each other.So I listened patiently and recognized it carefully.

However, what surprised Lu Tiying was, is this really the purpose of the Empress Dowager calling her here today?If this is the case, it seems that she really compromised with Wei Kai.

That's okay, everyone gets along in harmony, and I save a lot of trouble.

After they finished introducing them one by one, the Empress Dowager said that they could ask Lu Tiying some things, such as the situation in Luzhou.

Under the leadership of Guan Yuzhen, the concubines also asked Lu Tiying questions one after another.

And Lu Tiying finally talked about her hometown, and she talked a lot for a while, and it was not as embarrassing as before.

However, when Lu Tiying was carefully explaining the situation in Luzhou to them, Concubine Shu's expression on the other side suddenly became terrified.

"I'm going to kill you!" came from behind Lu Tiying.

As a military commander instinctively, Lu Tiying threw the jug on the table behind her without looking back.

The flagon immediately flew towards the assassin behind him.

A little girl screamed "Ah!" and stabbed Lu Tiying persistently with a dagger.

Lu Tiying frowned, spotted the direction where her hand fell and dodged sideways, grabbed her wrist, and immediately controlled her hand.Then the other hand snatched her dagger.

Just as she was about to ask who she was, the little girl lowered her head and bit the hand that was holding her.

Lu Tiying had no choice but to push her back and push her to the ground.

The little girl fell in pain, wiped her tears and got up from the ground to attack Lu Tiying again.

While crying, he said, "It was you who killed my mother! You vixen, I must kill you! Kill you..."

Lu Tiying was startled, and immediately realized that she was Princess Haoyue, the daughter of Wei Kai and Du Xiangchan.

Immediately jump over the table in one step and dodge into the hall to avoid her.

He looked at her helplessly, and then at the empress dowager.

Empress Dowager Fang Yi then said: "Nonsense! Hold her!"

The two concubines who were closest to the child hurriedly got up to hold the child, and also hurriedly advised her to stop making trouble.

The Empress Dowager looked at Lu Tiying: "Ruyihou was shocked, Du Xiangchan's attack was too sudden, this child couldn't accept it for a while."

Lu Tiying nodded helplessly, cupped her hands and said: "Since Princess Haoyue has misunderstood Wei Chen, why not Wei Chen should leave for a while, and reunite with the Queen Mother and all the sisters at another day."

"Alright, you go back first." The Empress Dowager said immediately.

Lu Tiying cupped her hands again, turned and walked towards the gate.

After walking out of the gate, he walked towards the palace gate.

However, just as Lu Tiying got into the carriage and was about to leave.

A terrified voice came from behind and said: "Come here, catch the murderer, Princess Haoyue was killed by Ruyihou!"

The two maids in the carriage looked at Lu Tiying in shock.

Lu Tiying herself was also surprised, how could she have killed Princess Haoyue?

"The carriage stops!" Lu Tiying shouted immediately, and she was about to get out of the carriage to have a look.

However, before approaching Changle Palace, guards had already run towards her and immediately surrounded her.

A palace maid came out with a panicked face, pointed at Lu Tiying with trembling fingers and said, "Catch her! Catch her quickly, she killed Princess Haoyue!"

"I didn't kill anyone!" Lu Tiying shouted.

The chief guard cupped his hands: "Waiting for you, offended!"

It was only then that Lu Tiying realized that it turned out that the Empress Dowager hosted a Hongmen Banquet today.But at that time, except for the empress dowager and other concubines, there was no one else around me. If they all insisted that I killed Princess Haoyue, I would have no way to justify it.

"It really is the most vicious woman!" Lu Tiying said depressedly.

He shouted angrily at the guard: "I will explain this matter to the emperor myself, if you are sensible, stand aside and let me leave."

The chief guard cupped his hands: "Master Hou, this matter is of great importance, and the lower officials can't decide, they can only offend!" As soon as he waved his hand, the guard immediately rushed towards Lu Tiying.

Naturally, Lu Tiying is not afraid of them, and she suddenly thought of a question, that is, if she fights with them, wouldn't it be absconding in fear of crime?
But if they don't do it, this group of people are obviously ordered, and they are all aggressive and want to kill themselves.

This time it was really loaded.Lu Tiying was speechless, and could only shout: "Xiao'e!"

Xiao'e, who was in a state of desperation in the carriage, also reacted immediately when she heard it, and hurriedly told the coachman to return to the Longevity Hall.

The only way is to call Wei Kai.

The carriage galloped all the way, rushing towards the Longevity Hall.

But here, Lu Tiying didn't dare to kill, and she didn't want to be killed by them, so she was so depressed.

In her heart, she also despised the Empress Dowager Fang Yi to the extreme. In order to frame herself, she did not hesitate to sacrifice her granddaughter.Such an inhumane method, unexpectedly she can try it out.At this time, I can't help but think of the records in the secret book, the ancestors were also poisoned by waves of conspiracies back then.

Is this really a unique feature of Wei's harem?

Lu Tiying was really resentful and depressed when she kicked the guard who was approaching.
