"Okay." Xu Lingyan responded dully and stopped talking.

Lu Rui ignored her, walked up to Lu Wanning, and asked Lu Wanning with concern: "Sister Lu, are you feeling better?"

Lu Wanning replied: "Thank you, Sister Lu, for your concern. It's much better now."

"That's good, that's good." Lu Rui said "That's good" twice before humming a tune and going to wash up.

After Lu Rui went out, Xu Lingyan said to Lu Wanning in confusion: "Sister Lu, do you think Sister Lu seems to be in a particularly good mood tonight?"

Lu Wanning smiled and said, "Maybe it's because the night is particularly beautiful tonight."

"Is that so?" Xu Lingyan was confused.

Of course that's not the case, Lu Wanning said in her heart. Lu Rui should have successfully met the emperor and maybe even talked to the emperor, otherwise she would not be in such a good mood.

Lu Rui's good mood lasted for several days.

I don't know if it was because of the benefits she got from Lu Wanning. In the next few days, she kept an eye on Lu Wanning very closely and was particularly attentive to Lu Wanning.

So, when Huanxi appeared next to Lu Wanning, she noticed it immediately.

The first time Lu Wanning saw Huanxi, she glanced at Lu Rui without leaving any trace. Seeing that the excited expression on Lu Rui's face could not be concealed, Lu Wanning couldn't help but laugh. This was because he was convinced that she could get something advantageous from him.

,right?

That's fine, since she likes to take advantage of her, let's continue to do so.

Lu Wanning paid special attention when she went out, but when she saw Lu Rui quietly following him out, she stopped caring.

This time, the joyful news brought to Lu Wanning was that the emperor was going to the Moon Pavilion in the Royal Garden to admire the moon in the evening, and he asked Xu Jieyu to accompany him.

When Lu Wanning heard this, she frowned slightly and said, "What do you want me to do?"

Since the emperor has appointed Xu Jieyu as his companion, is it possible that the imperial concubine wants her to confront Xu Jieyu directly?

Huanxi glanced around and lowered his voice: "Fifth Miss, there is no need to panic. The Imperial Concubine just wants you to show your face in front of the Emperor in advance, and she is not asking Fifth Miss to directly compete with Xu Jieyu, and even if

It’s Miss Fifth, so there’s nothing to worry about if you directly robbed Xu Jieyu. The imperial concubine has not yet paid much attention to Xu Jieyu, who is so small.”

The rule of the Yong Dynasty is that general elections are held every three years. It was already late autumn when the emperor ascended the throne, so the general election was scheduled for the second year of Mingde.

Xu Jieyu's maiden name was Xu Jingshu. Xu Jingshu was a concubine of the same magistrate of Suzhou Prefecture. She was one of the first batch of beautiful ladies to be elected to the palace in the second year of Mingde. In six years, she was only a fifth-grade Jieyu, so even though she was favored,

, she doesn’t have much love, not to mention her family background. She knows the same place, and there is no way she can be compared with an honorable family like Zhongyong Hou Mansion. No wonder Lu Wanyun doesn’t take her seriously.

However, Lu Wanyun didn't take Xu Jieyu seriously, but she had to take Xu Jieyu seriously, and she was unwilling to follow Lu Wanyun's arrangement, let alone make a decision at this time.

It looks like he is trying his best to win favor.

The expression on Lu Wanning's face changed several times, and finally she nodded slightly and said, "I understand."

She smiled happily and comforted Lu Wanning: "Fifth Miss, please be bolder. With the support of the imperial concubine, Xu Jieyu does not dare to do anything to you."

Lu Wanning nodded again to show that he understood.

After Huanxi left, Lu Wanning looked at the corner and saw that no one was there anymore. He didn't know how much Lu Rui had heard and what he would do.

If Lu Rui can do what she wants, she can save trouble. If Lu Rui doesn't dare to go to the Royal Garden tonight because of Xu Jieyu, then she will be in more trouble.

After Lu Wanning returned, although Lu Rui was still attentive to Lu Wanning, there was no abnormality on her face. She had improved a lot compared to the last time.

Lu Wanning had lunch calmly, and then took a nap for half an hour as usual.

And when Lu Wanning fell asleep, Lu Rui had disappeared. Lu Wanning learned from Xu Lingyan that Lu Rui felt the room was stuffy and went out shortly after she fell asleep. As for where he was going, Lu Rui didn't tell her.

Lu Wanning shook her head in her heart. Lu Rui really didn't miss any opportunity to see the emperor. Knowing that the emperor had Xu Jieyu with him tonight, she didn't even care.

She didn't even think about it. Lu Wanyun dared to let her appear in front of Xu Jieyu in front of the emperor because she was a girl from the Zhongyong Hou Mansion and a cousin of the imperial concubine. No matter how much Xu Jieyu hated her, he would not

How to treat her, but Lu Rui, a beautiful lady who has no support in the palace and has not been officially canonized, will Xu Jieyu take action against her?

However, this is a good thing for her.

Lu Wanning estimated that if Lu Rui went out, she might not come back before night. As for whether she could come back after night, it might depend on luck.

Sure enough, Lu Rui didn't come back until dinner time. Xu Lingyan opened her mouth to say something, but seeing that neither Lu Wanning nor Weng Qian took it seriously, she swallowed back what she said.

I remember what Lu Rui said when she came back late two days ago, so that she didn't have to worry about her.

After dinner, Lu Wanning stood up and said, "I've eaten a bit too much. I'm going to go for a walk to eat."

"Sister Lu..." Xu Lingyan wanted to say that I will accompany you, but before the words came out, Lu Wanning had already gone out.

Weng Qian glanced at Xu Lingyan, who still had his mouth slightly open, and said coldly: "Idiot."

Weng Qian's voice was too soft and Xu Lingyan didn't hear it. She turned to look at Weng Qian and asked cautiously: "Sister Weng, what did you say?"

Weng Qian was not talking to Xu Lingyan.

Xu Lingyan waited for a while but didn't get Weng Qian's answer. She sighed softly and turned around and went out. Weng Qian was too cold to others. After living together for so long, Weng Qian was just joking with them.

I never said anything nice, and either made sarcastic comments or just ignored people.

Lu Wanning and Lu Rui were not here, and Xu Lingyan was not willing to stay in the same room with Weng Qian at all. He always felt uncomfortable staying in the same room with her.

Lu Wanning left her residence and walked around the Chuxiu Palace first. It was estimated that the time was almost up, and then she walked slowly along the palace road to the Imperial Garden.

The moonlight is pretty tonight, and even if Lu Wanning didn't light up a lantern, she wouldn't be able to see clearly.

Walking outside the Imperial Garden, Lu Wanning stayed for a while, then turned back without entering the Imperial Garden.

Xu Lingyan had not come back when she went back. Lu Wanning sat at the table and poured herself a cup of tea. After resting for a while, Xu Lingyan ran back from outside in a panic.

Seeing Lu Wanning sitting safely in the room, Xu Lingyan breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "Sister Lu, when did you come back? You scared me to death. Do I think something happened to you?"
