Chapter 36 Thank you to the concubine

The emperor went to Qingren Palace that night to honor his concubine.

This is understandable, after all, the eldest princess fell into the water today, so it was reasonable for the emperor to go to Qingren Palace today.

However, everyone in Linglong Pavilion who knew what happened today was still disappointed. The master had shown his face in front of the emperor several times, but the emperor never came to Linglong Pavilion. Could it be that the master was not favored?

Others were just muttering in their hearts, but Zhou Man felt like there was a fire burning in his heart. In order to come to Linglong Pavilion to serve him, he gave all the money he had saved in the palace over the years to Eunuch Qiu from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

If Lu Meiren is no longer favored, then his money will soon be wasted?

Zhou Manman was worried, but he had no choice. It was too late for him to regret it now. He could only pray to God that for the sake of his sincerity, the emperor would show some favor to Lu Meiren.

Although it was just an accident that the eldest princess fell into the water, the group of servants who were serving the eldest princess were still dealt with by Concubine Jing. Concubine Jing changed the people serving the eldest princess all over. When she paid greetings to the queen in the morning, they were again

The empress gave me a few gentle words.

"Jingfei, you are the eldest princess's mother-in-law. You should pay more attention to the eldest princess in the future. If Lu Meiren hadn't met her yesterday, the consequences would have been disastrous."

Concubine Jing gritted her teeth and admitted her mistake, "What the Queen said is that I failed to take good care of the eldest princess."

The queen nodded and said: "I think you have learned a lesson after what happened yesterday. If there is no capable person to serve the eldest princess, I will appoint two people for you later."

How could Concubine Jing allow the Empress to send people to Qingren Palace and to the eldest princess in such an open and honest manner? After hearing this, she quickly refused and said: "I thanked the Empress for Yan'er's concern on behalf of Yan'er. Those who do nothing around Yan'er

The idiot concubine was dealt with yesterday, and now she has been replaced by a few smart and sensible ones, so I won’t bother the Queen."

The queen was not upset when she was rejected, and said with the air of a legitimate mother: "Since you have already arranged the arrangements, Concubine Jing, I will not interfere. However, since the eldest princess calls me Queen, then I will treat you."

After hearing this consonant, if something like this happens to the eldest princess next time, Concubine Jing, please don’t blame me for questioning you, my mother-in-law."

Concubine Jing could only reply: "Yes, the Queen."

After the greetings were over, Concubine Jing's face was very ugly. The lower-ranking concubines were afraid that Concubine Jing would vent her anger on them, so after the greetings were over, they all walked around Concubine Jing.

Naturally, Lu Wanning would not approach her, but she didn't expect Concubine Jing to walk up to her on her own.

The surrounding concubines all stayed away from Lu Wanning and stood nearby to watch the fun.

"Your Highness?" Lu Wanning couldn't help but asked in confusion when she saw someone standing in front of her without speaking for a long time.

"Ahem!" Concubine Jing coughed dryly and said, "Thank you for what happened yesterday."

Although his tone was very harsh, he was still saying thank you and not looking for trouble. Lu Wanning smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are so polite."

"Consider this a favor that I owe you, and I will find an opportunity to repay it to you in the future." After Concubine Jing finished speaking, she turned around and walked away.

The people who were waiting to watch the fun all left one by one when they saw that there was no fun to watch.

Qingzhi whispered to Lu Wanning: "I didn't expect that Concubine Jing would thank you, Master, in front of so many people."

Lu Wanning smiled and shook her head, "I didn't expect that either." She just thought that it would be good for Concubine Jing not to find trouble with her in the future.

However, it was a wise move for Concubine Jing to do this. Everyone knew that she saved the eldest princess. Now that Concubine Jing is thanking everyone and saying that she owes her a favor, everyone will only feel that Concubine Jing is a grudge.

Clear and transferable.

If the emperor knew about this, he would surely be satisfied with Concubine Jing's actions.

Leaving the entrance of Fengyi Palace, Qingzhi asked Lu Wanning: "Master failed to reward the lotus yesterday, can you go again today?"

Lu Wanning thought for a moment and shook her head, "Forget it, let's go another day."

The lotus flowering period lasts from June to August, so there is no need to rush to enjoy the lotus. Something happened at Wenxin Lake yesterday. Who knows whether it will be peaceful today or not.

Lu Wanning took Qingzhi and Qingdai and prepared to return to Linglong Pavilion. Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, she came across the red note beside Lu Guifei.

Lu Wanning stopped and said with a smile: "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. I met the red-paper girl here. Where is the red-paper girl going?"

Hong Jian knelt down and saluted Lu Wanning, and said, "This servant came here specifically to wait for Beauty Lu on orders from the imperial concubine."

"What are your orders from the Imperial Concubine?" Lu Wanning asked.

Hong Jian said with a smile: "That's a good thing. Your Majesty is going to Zhaoyang Palace for dinner today. Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine asked you, Beauty Lu, to dress up well. Then you will be serving the Emperor's meal at Zhaoyang Palace at noon."

"Really?" Lu Wanning asked with a face of surprise. When Hong Jian nodded, she happily said to Hong Jian: "I'm sorry to bother you, Miss Hong Jian, for making this trip. I'll go back and clean up right now. I'll go there immediately after cleaning up."

Zhaoyang Palace."

After saying that, Lu Wanning seemed to be impatient and took Qingzhi and Qingdai back to Linglong Pavilion.

Qingzhi and Qingdai were also very happy. As soon as they returned to Linglong Pavilion, they started chattering about what hairstyle to wear, what jewelry to wear, and what clothes to wear for Lu Wanning.

"Master, how about you wear those bright red clothes? You have fair skin. Wearing these bright red clothes will make you look more delicate and lovely. The emperor will definitely like it if he sees it." Qingzhi said.

Qingdai nodded and continued: "My hair style will be a simple updo, decorated with gold hairpins and wavy hairpins. It will definitely look refreshing and noble."

Lu Wanning let them finish, sat in front of the dressing table, nodded and said: "Just dress up as you two said."

Qingzhi and Qingdai were about to take action after hearing this, but Lu Wanning said again: "Qingdai help me comb my hair first. Qingzhi, go and deal with the apricots on the table and bring me a few almonds."

Apricots were considered a seasonal fruit at this time, and each palace received a lot of them, including a large plate in Linglong Pavilion.

The fruits that can be sent to the palace are all carefully selected. The plate of apricots on the table not only looks very pleasant, they are large and plump, with orange skin, but also tastes good, with a slight sourness in the sweetness.

, is a taste that most people like.

It's a pity that Lu Wanning was born unable to eat sour food, and she couldn't tolerate even the slightest sour taste.

She originally thought about sharing this apricot with the palace officials of Linglong Pavilion later, but she didn't expect that she would use it first.

Qingzhi and Qingdai were stunned for a moment, and Qingzhi asked: "Master, what do you want almonds for?"

"Eat." Lu Wanning said softly.
