The eldest princess spoke softer and quieter, until later it was almost inaudible, but it was enough for everyone to figure out the real reason why the eldest princess fell into the water.

Concubine Jing said in disbelief: "Yan'er, are you saying that you sneaked to the lake and wanted to pick lotus flowers in the lake, so you accidentally fell into the lake?"

The eldest princess looked at Concubine Jing's frosty face, carefully pulled her sleeves, and whispered: "Concubine, Yan'er knows that she was wrong."

Concubine Jing wanted to get angry, but looking at the timid eyes of the eldest princess, she couldn't bear it, so she had to transfer her anger to the maid serving the eldest princess: "What do you do for food? Master is still young and ignorant, so you don't

Do you know how to stop it?"

"You don't know how to stop me. You followed my master to the lake and you didn't know how to take good care of him. He fell into the water. You can only shout at the lake. What's the use of a slave like you?"

The maid next to the eldest princess was already frightened. After hearing the concubine's scolding, she just kept admitting her mistake and begging for mercy, "I was wrong, my concubine, please forgive me."

Seeing that the matter was clear, the queen said: "Jing Fei, now that the matter has been clarified, you should quickly take the eldest princess back to the palace to clean up. She has been frightened today. As a mother and concubine, you should comfort her.

Hit her."

Concubine Jing glanced at the eldest princess, suppressed her anger, and said to Luo Chengjing and the queen: "Then I will take Yan'er and leave first."

"Yes." The queen responded. After the concubine Jing and the eldest princess left, she glanced at Lu Wanning, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said, "Miss Lu, you should go back and change your clothes quickly."

Lu Wanning kowtowed to Luo Chengjing and the queen and said, "I, my concubine, please retire."

Lu Wanning stood up and was about to leave when Luo Chengjing looked at her embarrassed appearance and suddenly said: "As far as I know, Concubine Jing seems to have felt sorry for you more than once. Why did you not hesitate to save the eldest princess when she fell into the water?

?”

Lu Wanning thought to herself that she didn't hesitate. She actually hesitated before deciding to save him.

But you can’t just say it this way.

Lu Wanning's mind turned around and she said respectfully: "Although I have some quarrels with you, I don't have any deep hatred."

"Besides, even if there is any deep hatred between Concubine Chen and Concubine Jing, it is still a grudge between Concubine Chen and Concubine Jing. If Concubine Jing was the one who fell into the water today, Concubine Chen might consider whether to save her, but the eldest princess can't.

She is a child, and she has never hurt me, so what does this have to do with her? Why should I take my anger out on her?"

Luo Chengjing took a deep look at Lu Wanning, sneered, and said, "You are sincere."

Lu Wanning lowered her head and said, "I dare not deceive the emperor."

Luo Chengjing waved his hand: "Okay, let's go back."

Lu Wanning saluted Luo Chengjing and the Queen again, and then left with Qingzhi and Qingdai.

In Linglong Pavilion, Zhou Man and others were shocked when they saw Lu Wanning coming back so wet. Zhou Man came up to greet Qingdai and asked Qingdai in a low voice: "Master, what happened?"

Qingdai shook her head and said: "It's okay, the master is just trying to save people. Don't ask any more questions. Go and prepare water quickly. Let the master take a bath, change clothes and tidy up first."

"Hey, I'll go right away." Zhou Man responded and immediately went to make arrangements.

Under the service of Qingzhi and Qingdai, Lu Wanning took a comfortable bath, changed into dry clothes, and sat on the soft couch while Qingzhi wiped her hair and listened to her words.

"Fortunately, the weather is hot now, otherwise the master would have to catch a cold after all this trouble. Master, don't be so impulsive next time and ignore yourself just to save others."

Qingdai nodded in agreement, "That's right, the key is that the master obviously saved the eldest princess, but the concubine Jing did not appreciate it and still doubted the master. If she had known that the master should not have interfered with this matter."

Hearing this, Lu Wanning smiled and said, "It's her fault that the concubine doesn't appreciate her kindness. I just have to have a clear conscience. If I hadn't saved the eldest princess today, if something happened to the eldest princess, I would have uneasy conscience."

Moreover, she saved the eldest princess today. Regardless of whether Concubine Jing appreciates it or not, Concubine Jing will have to think about it before she wants to embarrass herself again in the future.

If she continues to find trouble for herself for no reason as before, then she will lose her reputation.

It's worth saving the eldest princess today, in exchange for the fact that the concubine will no longer be evil towards her in the future.

What's more, there may be more than just this benefit. It would be better if the emperor could no longer be angry with her because of Concubine Lu because of her last words.

In the afternoon, when Lu Wanning woke up from a nap, Qingzhi came to tell her that Concubine Jing sent someone to send a thank you gift.

Lu Wanning met the eldest princess who was next to Concubine Jing in her mother's year, asked a few questions about the eldest princess, thanked Concubine Jing, and then sent her out.

Qing Dai looked at the thank you gift sent by Concubine Jing and said with satisfaction: "It's not thin. The bare fabric is worth a lot of money."

When Qingzhi sent people in, she heard Qingdai's words. She glared at Qingdai angrily and said: "You are from the Hou Mansion after all, and you are not the kind of person who has never seen the world. Why do you look like you are getting into Qian's eyes?"

You look like you're talking? You can earn money by talking or not, and you don't mind embarrassing your master?"

Qingdai stuck out her tongue and said, "Money is needed everywhere in the palace, so now I think of money whenever I see it."

Hearing this, Lu Wanning smiled and said, "Although everything in the palace needs money, we definitely have enough money. Qingdai, you can use it with confidence. You don't have to worry about not having any money that day."

When Lu Wanning entered the palace, Mrs. Tao handed her several large banknotes, which Mr. Tao had originally saved to buy her a dowry.

Although the princess will pay a dowry when her daughter marries, the dowry prepared by the princess will not be too generous. Tao himself has a dowry village and shop, and he also has a lot of income every year. Tao has all the money.

I saved it up and planned to use the money to buy some dowry items for Lu Wanning when she got married, so that Lu Wanning could marry in a glorious manner.

Who would have thought that Lu Wanning would finally enter the palace and there would be no need to buy a dowry. Mrs. Tao simply gave all the money to Lu Wanning and asked Lu Wanning to take it into the palace.

This amount of money is not too much, just over two thousand taels. However, the salary of the beauty in the palace is only two hundred taels a year. This money is equivalent to her ten years' salary. It will not be enough to use it for three to five years.

question.

And in three to five years, she will definitely not be in the same situation as she is now. As long as she is favored, she will not be short of money.

After asking Qingdai and Qingzhi to collect the thank-you gifts sent by Jing Fei into the warehouse, Lu Wanning gently shook the fan in her hand and started to pause.

I wonder where the emperor will go tonight?
