Chapter 101 The Truth
"I thank you, the Queen." Lu Wanning thanked her and stood up as instructed. When she got up, she accidentally staggered and almost fell down. It was Qingzhi on the side who was quick-witted and helped Lu Wanning, saving Lu Wanning from falling.
The queen finally felt comfortable when she saw Lu Wanning's appearance.
Lu Wanning sat down on the chair next to her and said respectfully: "What do you want the Queen to do with me?"
Hearing this, the queen smiled and said: "It's not an important matter. I just heard that you, Miss Lu, are good at making incense. You can make a kind of butterfly-inducing incense that can make butterflies dance. I am interested in the butterfly-inducing incense."
I am very curious, wondering if Lu Meiren is willing to prepare a butterfly-inducing incense for me."
Lu Wanning lowered her eyes and replied: "It is my honor to be able to make incense for the Queen. I will make butterfly incense for the Queen after I return."
"Then it's troublesome for Miss Lu." The Queen smiled.
"The Queen is welcome."
There was no look of resentment on Lu Wanning's face when she came out of Fengyi Palace. Qingzhi wanted to say something several times, but she didn't speak after seeing the look on Lu Wanning's face.
It wasn't until the two of them returned to Linglong Pavilion that Qingzhi couldn't help but say: "The Queen is obviously deliberately making things difficult for the master. Master, is your leg okay? I'll ask an imperial doctor to take a look at it, master?"
"
Lu Wanning shook her head and said, "No, I'm fine."
"But Master, didn't he almost fall when he got up just now?" Qingzhi said worriedly: "Master, you stood outside the hall for so long and knelt for so long. It would be bad if you hurt your knee. You'd better find a doctor.
Look for more insurance."
Moreover, if they were to pass on the imperial doctor at this time, then everyone else in the harem, including the emperor, would know that the empress deliberately made things difficult for her master.
Lu Wanning saw through Qingzhi's plan at a glance, but she had her concerns, so she shook her head and rejected Qingzhi, "There is no need to ask a doctor, my leg is really fine."
She doesn't have the kind of fragile physique. How could she stand for a while or kneel for a while and then be unable to bear it anymore? She almost fell down in Fengyi Palace just now, but that was because she deliberately pretended to show the queen.
Seeing what Lu Wanning said, Qingzhi had no choice but to give up her plan.
What happened in Fengyi Palace soon reached Luo Chengjing's ears.
After Luo Chengjing listened to Lian Yongwang's report, he was silent for a while, and then said without distinguishing happiness or anger: "The Queen really did not disappoint me..."
When Lian Yongwang heard Luo Chengjing's words, he raised his eyes in surprise and glanced at Luo Chengjing's face, not understanding the meaning of his words.
After thinking carefully for a while, Lian Yongwang still didn't speak rashly, he just stood quietly with his head lowered.
Fortunately, Luo Chengjing didn't need him to answer the question. After saying that, Luo Chengjing continued to look through the pile of memorials on the table.
However, that afternoon, Luo Chengjing went to Linglong Pavilion early.
"I heard that the Queen is embarrassing my beloved concubine today?" Luo Chengjing sat on the soft couch in Linglong Pavilion and asked Lu Wan opposite him calmly. At the same time, he dropped the black man in his hand next to Bai Zi, forming a siege on Bai Zi.
momentum.
Lu Wanning's hand stretched out to the chess pot aside and paused for a moment, then he pinched out a white piece from the chess pot as if nothing had happened, dropped it on the corner of the chess board, and said in a calm tone: "I am indeed in the Queen's Palace today.
Stand a little longer and kneel a little longer.”
Different from any situation Luo Chengjing expected, Lu Wanning neither pretended to be magnanimous and tried to cover up the queen, nor took the opportunity to complain to him aggrievedly, asking him to make the decision for her, and there was no right tone in her tone.
The Queen's disrespect.
Luo Chengjing raised his head slightly, glanced at Lu Wanning, and said, "The queen is embarrassing my beloved concubine for no reason. Isn't my beloved concubine angry and aggrieved?"
Lu Wanning didn't say anything after hearing this. After a while, she whispered: "Actually, I was a little aggrieved at first. I think I have never made any mistakes in my rules, but I was deliberately embarrassed by the Queen for no reason.
How can I not feel aggrieved?"
As soon as Luo Chengjing heard this, he knew that Lu Wanning had more to say. He didn't say anything, wanting to hear what Lu Wanning had to say next.
Lu Wanning paused for a moment, then continued: "But after I was wronged, I thought about it carefully and felt that I really have no right to be wronged."
"The Queen Empress will embarrass me today. To be honest, it is for the sake of the Emperor. It is because the Emperor treats me so well that it makes the Queen's heart unbalanced. Since I do deserve the Emperor's kindness to me, then I should accept a little more from the Queen."
It’s okay to be embarrassed.”
"I can't accept the Emperor's kindness to me and not be willing to suffer any grievance at the same time. This is a bit too much. Isn't it said in the book that everything in the world has its own destiny after a drink and a peck."
Luo Chengjing was speechless for a long time after listening to what Lu Wanning said. After a while, he shook his head and said, "You can comfort yourself."
Although Luo Chengjing said this, Lu Wanning still heard a hint of smile in his words.
Lu Wanning breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and said: "I really think so. I said something that went against the rules. If you look at it from the position of the empress, I am indeed at fault."
"If you look at it from the queen's position, why did your beloved concubine do anything wrong?" Luo Chengjing asked.
Lu Wanning said: "The Queen is the mother of a country and the emperor's wife. The concubine is just a little beauty, but the reward given by the Emperor exceeds that of the Queen. The Emperor is the king of a country and the concubine's heaven. In the Queen
From what I see, the emperor is not at fault, and the one who is at fault is naturally my concubine."
Luo Chengjing looked at Lu Wanning quietly and said in an unclear tone: "You dare to say anything. According to what you say, this matter is still my fault. I shouldn't reward you."
Qingzhi on the side looked at Lu Wanning with fear, but Lu Wanning was not afraid at all. She did not hear the slightest hint of guilt in Luo Chengjing's words.
Lu Wanning shook her head and said calmly: "The emperor has misunderstood me. I have never thought about it this way. I wish the emperor would reward me more times. How can I think that the emperor should not reward me?"
"Humph, you are so sharp-tongued that you can say anything." Luo Chengjing snorted coldly.
"Your Majesty has really wronged me." Lu Wanning cried out softly, "Every word I said is the truth. If the Emperor doesn't like to hear it, then I won't say anything next time."
In the end, Luo Chengjing didn't say whether he liked it or not.
