Lu Wanning was just guessing at first, and she didn't expect to hear any useful information from Concubine Lu when she said this. But now seeing Concubine Lu's reaction proved that her guess was true, and the emperor didn't miss her at all.

This daughter of the Lu family enters the palace again.

Then has the emperor expressed this intention to Concubine Lu? If the emperor has expressed her intention, and Concubine Lu still allows her to participate in the election, wouldn't it force the emperor to agree to the Lu family's daughter entering the palace?

After all, the border has been unstable in recent years. The Zhongyong Hou Mansion has taken charge of the Zhenbei Army to guard the northwest. Even if it is to stabilize the entire northwest border, since the girl from the Zhongyong Hou Mansion has participated in the election of the emperor, she has to keep her.

Lu Wanning sighed secretly. She didn't expect that the current situation was more difficult than she thought. If it was like what he suspected, it would be really difficult for her to be favored.

However, there is no way to crack it. The only way is...

Lu Wanning glanced at Concubine Lu. As long as Concubine Lu was gone, the current situation would be solved.

Without Concubine Lu, in order to appease the Lu family and the entire Zhenbei Army, the emperor would also treat him with more favors, right?

But there is no other way. Although she wants to deal with Concubine Lu, she has just entered the palace not long ago and has not figured out anything yet. If she rashly attacks Concubine Lu, someone may accidentally get caught.

Not only was Concubine Lu not eliminated, but she herself would suffer first.

So, let's wait a little longer. If there is really no other solution to this problem, she will take the risk again.

Concubine Lu's eyes dodge for a moment, then returned to normal, and said to Lu Wanning: "Your first priority now is not to think wildly, but to find a way to make the emperor favor you."

Lu Wanning withdrew her gaze, nodded obediently, and said, "Sister, I understand, but my dear concubine, what should I do to make the emperor fall in love with my sister?"

Concubine Lu thought for a while and said: "Don't be impatient. Later I will find an opportunity to invite the emperor to come to Zhaoyang Palace for dinner. When the time comes, you will also come and show your face in front of the emperor. But remember to dress up well and strive for success."

Let the emperor see you and pay more attention to you."

Lu Wanning nodded in agreement, "Sister, I'd like to thank you in advance. It's all because of my failure, and I have to trouble you to worry about my sister."

Concubine Lu smiled and said: "Sisters from the same family, what can we say about two families?"

Lu Wanning stayed with Concubine Lu for half the afternoon before returning to Linglong Pavilion.

After returning to Linglong Pavilion, Lu Wanning still read books and made incense every day, and occasionally played the piano for a while when the mood struck.

She had already made the butterfly-inducing incense she had promised to give to the second princess.

Concubine Lu said that she would treat the emperor to a meal and asked her to find an opportunity to contact the emperor. There was no news about this matter. During this period, the emperor's thoughts were basically focused on the new beautiful ladies who entered the palace. Except for the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, he went to the Queen's Palace.

Here, I occasionally went to Jing Fei and Hui Bi, the two concubines who had princesses. The rest of the time, I basically went either to Cui Jieyu or to Zheng Mei and Qu Cairen.

It may not be easy for Concubine Lu to invite the emperor.

But this is a good thing for Lu Wanning, because she no longer has to worry about how to reject Lu Guifei.

She originally didn't want to rely on Concubine Lu to get the chance to be favored. Now that she knew that Concubine Lu forced her to enter the palace even though she knew that the emperor didn't want the Lu family's daughter to enter the palace, she didn't want to risk her inheritance even more.

Chong became involved with Concubine Lu.

Moreover, she also had other worries. If Concubine Lu invited the emperor to have a meal, but she appeared in front of the emperor. When the emperor did not like her, and Concubine Lu designed her to get along with the emperor, would the emperor be even more dissatisfied with her?

happiness?

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-June, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter. All the favored concubines and high-ranking concubines in the palace had at least two ice basins in their rooms.

Although Lu Wanning has never been favored, because of the relationship with the imperial concubine, no one dares to deduct the salary from Linglong Pavilion.

But she was just a little beauty. Even if the eunuchs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not deduct anything from her, she could only receive a small amount of ice.

The ice basin was placed not far from Lu Wanning. While Qingzhi was fanning Lu Wanning, she said to Lu Wanning: "It's only the middle of June, at least it will take more than a month for the heat to cool down. We

Even if I use this ice sparingly, I’m afraid it won’t last long enough to keep me cool.”

Lu Wanning raised her head and said: "Don't worry, it's not too hot this year. I'm not that afraid of the heat. In fact, it's okay not to use an ice basin. We didn't get much ice in the yard when we were in the Hou Mansion. We didn't come here just the same.

Already."

There is no shortage of ice in the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, but since the death of her father and brother, there is not much ice that can be allocated to their three rooms. Tao is afraid of the heat, so she will even out some of the ice she gets and add it to Tao's yard.

There is even less left.

After saying that, Lu Wanning asked Qingzhi not to fan again, "If you look at my forehead and there is no sweat at all, you will know that I am really not hot anymore. You should take a rest quickly."

Qingzhi sighed after hearing this and said: "When I was in the Hou Mansion, the master's Qinyaxuan was built near the water. It was always cooler than elsewhere in the summer, but Linglong Pavilion was small and stuffy. If it was gone,

Bing, even if the master is not so afraid of heat, he will not be able to live well if he is afraid of it."

Lu Wanning smiled and said: "Then we'll talk about it when we get here. Maybe it will rain a few times in a while and the weather won't be as hot as it is now. Don't worry."

Seeing that her master was so open-minded, Qingzhi stopped mentioning this matter. There was no solution to this problem. Talking too much would just make her master worry about it.

Just at this time, Qingdai walked in from outside. Qingzhi looked at Qingdai's sweaty face and asked: "Qingdai, what are you doing? Why is it so hot?"

Qingdai wiped the sweat from her forehead and face with a handkerchief and said, "I just went to Zhaoyang Palace. Didn't the master ask me to find a way to find a relationship with the maid serving in Zhaoyang Palace?"

"Just some time ago, I got in touch with Fang Fei, a second-class palace maid in Zhaoyang Palace. During this time, I often talked and had a relationship with her. She has become somewhat close to me. Today I

I heard that she had summer fever, so I wanted to go and see her."

Qingzhi frowned when he heard this and said, "Did you go there empty-handed?"

Qingdai shook her head and said: "How is it possible? I gave her two packs of summer tea, and also gave her a silver bracelet that the master gave me."

Hearing this, Lu Wanning said: "Since you gave away the one I gave you, I will make you a new one."

Lu Wanning told Qingzhi: "Go and give Qingdai the cyan jade bracelet in my makeup box."
