Chapter 100 Embarrassed by the Queen
Who should I choose?
The imperial concubine passed all the low-ranking concubines in the harem in her heart, and finally had two choices in her heart, one was Concubine Cui, and the other was Concubine Weng who had only been favored for a few days at the beginning.
Relatively speaking, among these two people, Concubine Weng Jie is more suitable than Concubine Cui Jie.
After all, there is a General Dingyuan Mansion behind Cui Jieyu. If she raises Cui Jieyu's child, if the Cui family finds that child in the future, it will be hard to say whether the child is close to Zhongyong Hou's Mansion or General Dingyuan Mansion.
.
But if it were Concubine Weng, Concubine Weng's father was just a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and had no military power. If the child was smart, he would naturally not kiss a useless Hanlin Academy. Instead, he would alienate the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, who held heavy troops.
.
Moreover, Concubine Weng has fallen out of favor now. If she can help Concubine Weng, Concubine Weng will definitely be grateful to her, so that it will make her achieve her goals more convenient.
But if she chose Concubine Weng, she would have to find a way to get Concubine Weng back to favor first.
The imperial concubine thought a lot, but finally decided to wait. If Meiren Lu still couldn't get pregnant within one year this year, she wouldn't have been waiting.
By then, Meiren Lu will naturally be useless, and she doesn't have to keep Meiren who is useless, as she sees her threatening her status.
Without Meiren Lu, the emperor would not treat her coldly as he is now for the sake of Zhongyong Marquis' Mansion. At that time, it would not be difficult for her to find an opportunity to make Concubine Weng regain favor.
After thinking about this, the frost that enveloped the imperial concubine's face finally dissipated a little.
The imperial concubine who had not received the reward was dissatisfied, and the queen who received the reward was not happy either.
In Fengyi Palace, the queen had originally liked the two bottles of rose water very much. She happily asked someone to take out her clothes and prepare to sprinkle them with rose water. But when she learned from Jade that Meiren Lu could get four bottles.
After the rose water, the queen suddenly lost her mind.
After glanced at the two bottles of rose water on the table, the queen said lightly: "Okay, put it away, don't put it in front of me."
Upon hearing this, Liuli hurriedly stepped forward and put away the rose water on the table.
The queen sat alone for a while, but still angry, and said in angrily: "The emperor really loves Mei Ren Lu. The reward he gave was even overwhelming the queen of this palace." This made her face as the queen.
Where to put it?
Jade on the side glanced carefully at the queen's expression, and tried his best to comfort the queen and said, "Empress, you are angry. I think the emperor will reward Meiren Lu with four bottles of rose water not because Meiren Lu's favor, but
It's because of the second princess."
"Second Princess?" The queen frowned and looked at Jade and said, "What does this matter have to do with the Second Princess?"
"Miss Lu gave the second princess a fragrance of incense of deodories to the second princess before. The second princess was sick some time ago and was in a bad mood. It was the fragrance of incense made by Made Lu that made the second princess happy again, and Made Lu directly put it on the same page.
The fragrance of the butterfly fragrance is dedicated to the Queen Mother.”
"Although the Empress Dowager gave her a reward to Meiren at that time and was extremely kind to let Meiren Lu's mother go to the palace to visit Meiren Lu, the emperor gave nothing to Meiren Lu."
"This time, the rose water happened to be among the things presented by Xidan Kingdom. The emperor may have remembered the fact that Meiren Lu took out the butterfly incense before, so he rewarded Meiren with two more bottles of this rose water to Meiren Lu."
After hearing what Jade said, the queen thought about it carefully and felt that it seemed to make some sense.
However, even so, the queen was still uneasy.
The next day, Lu Wanning asked for peace. After just coming out of Fengyi Palace, she was stopped by Liuli, the great palace maid next to the queen.
"Miss Liuli." Lu Wanning turned around and smiled and greeted Liuli, then asked, "Is there something wrong with Miss Liuli?"
Liuli bowed to Lu Wanning and said, "My lady Lu, the Queen has something to do to find you."
Lu Wanning sighed silently and nodded with a smile, "Please ask Miss Liuli to take me to see the Queen."
Liuli nodded, "Please please, Meiren Lu."
Lu Wanning followed Liuli back to Fengyi Palace. When he was about to arrive at the main hall of Fengyi Palace, Lu Wanning heard Liuli beside him spit out a few words, "Rose Water."
Lu Wanning was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that Liuli was reminding her that the queen was looking for her because of the bottles of rose water that the emperor gave her yesterday.
In fact, even if Liuli didn't remind her, Lu Wanning could guess that the reason why the queen looked for her today was because of those bottles of rose water, and she had already foreseeed that the Queen's visit to her was probably not good at the time.
But Liuli reminded her that she would also be grateful to Liuli.
Lu Wanning nodded slightly at Liuli, indicating that she knew.
Liuli took Lu Wanning to stop at the gate of the main hall, let Lu Wanning wait there, and go in and report to the queen himself.
Lu Wanning has been standing at the gate of the hall for more than half an hour. Lu Wanning can no longer stand, and Liuli appeared in front of her again. She lowered her head and looked at Lu Wanning with some guilt, and said to Lu Wanning: "The Queen."
The Empress was busy just now, and she only had time now. Beauty Lu, come in quickly."
After Lu Wanning entered, the queen was sitting in her seat and closed her eyes to rest.
Lu Wanning slowly walked to the queen, knelt down and saluted, "I have seen the queen."
But the queen in the seat still closed her eyes as if she hadn't heard it.
Lu Wanning raised his voice slightly and said, "I have seen the Empress."
The queen still didn't respond.
Lu Wanning now understood that the queen had made up her mind to pretend not to hear, so she had to kneel here, so she simply stopped talking and knelt quietly on the ground.
Lu Wanning knelt for about two quarters of an hour, and the queen on the seat opened her eyes slowly. When she saw Lu Wanning kneeling on the ground, she seemed very surprised, "What's wrong with Mei Meiren, why are she still kneeling on the ground.
Where are you?"
Jade, who had just stood beside the queen, spoke at the right time: "Empress, Meiren Lu just greeted you, but you haven't started calling me yet."
"Look at me..." The queen seemed to have reacted and said to Lu Wanning with some remorse: "I have been staring at the prince's school last night. I slept a little late. I just wanted to close my eyes and rest for a while. Who would have thought it was true.
She fell asleep, isn't Lu okay?"
Lu Wanning replied calmly: "It is natural for the Queen to supervise the Crown Prince to study. I understand, but I have nothing to do."
