Giving Food

In Jianzhang Palace, Luo Chengjing read the last memorial on the left hand side and put it together with the pile on the right hand side that had already been read. He took a sip of the tea at hand, stood up, and was served by Lian Yongwang.

hand.

Lian Yongwang handed the neatly folded handkerchief to Luo Chengjing's hand with both hands. After watching Luo Chengjing finish wiping his hands, he asked: "Your Majesty, it's meal time. Do you want me to pass the meal around?"

Luo Chengjing threw the handkerchief to Lian Yongwang, nodded, "Pass it on."

The imperial dining room has been preparing, and as soon as Jianzhang Palace said it was time to pass on the meal, one after another exquisite dishes were placed in front of Luo Chengjing.

Luo Chengjing looked at the royal meal on the table, and suddenly the image of Lu Wanning eating hard at yesterday's birthday banquet flashed through his mind.

So, he ordered the sweet-scented osmanthus fish sticks and mountain delicacies braised crab meat on the table, and said to Lian Yongwang: "Send these two dishes to Lu Meiren."

Lian Yongwang was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and responded: "Yes, Your Majesty."

The two dishes were packed in a rosewood food box. Lian Yongwang handed the food box to his apprentice Yuan En and asked him to deliver it to Linglong Pavilion in person.

Although Lu Meiren has outstanding appearance among the concubines who entered the palace this time, because of the imperial concubine, the emperor does not like Lu Meiren very much. Lian Yongwang knows this, otherwise how could Lu Meiren have been in the palace for so long with her appearance?

How about a bedtime service?

Lian Yongwang didn't know why the emperor suddenly thought of giving food to Lu Meiren, but under such circumstances, it was unusual for Lu Meiren to be remembered by the emperor.

When Yuan En carried the food box to Linglong Pavilion, Zhou Man had just brought Lu Wanning's meal back from the dining room and had not yet placed it on the table.

Hearing that the emperor had rewarded the dish, everyone in the Linglong Pavilion was filled with joy. Lu Wanning accepted the reward, and Zhou Man sent Yuan En out of the Linglong Pavilion with a gracious look on his face, and stuffed Yuan En with a thick purse. He just said it was because of his hard work.

Trip.

Yuan En smiled and said a few polite words, then Zhou Man asked vaguely why the emperor suddenly gave Linglong Pavilion food.

Yuan En stuffed the purse into his sleeves, smiled and shook his head, saying: "Don't worry, little Eunuch Zhou, the emperor suddenly thought of Lu Meiren after seeing the meal, so he rewarded these two dishes."

As for why he remembered Lu Meiren, let alone him, his master didn't know either.

Zhou Man felt relieved after hearing this. As long as these two gift dishes had no other meanings, it would be a good thing for Linglong Pavilion.

Zhou Man smiled and thanked Yuan En again. After sending Yuan En away, he went into the room and told Lu Wanning about the matter.

After hearing this, Lu Wanning just said "hmm" and asked Qingzhi to prepare the meal.

Zhou Man looked at Lu Wanning's performance and asked hesitantly: "Master seems not surprised that the emperor would give food?"

Lu Wanning looked at the two delicious dishes on the table and shook her head, "It's quite unexpected." She only thought that the emperor would come to Linglong Pavilion in the next few days, but she didn't expect that the emperor would give her dishes.

However, doesn't this just prove that what she did at yesterday's birthday party was effective? This is good news.

The news that the emperor had given food to Linglong Pavilion was soon known to all the masters in the palace.

In Fengyi Palace, the queen's mind is entirely focused on the prince at the moment, so she can forget about it.

In Zhaoyang Palace, the imperial concubine was even happier than Lu Wanning herself when she heard the news. She smiled and said to Hong Jian, "It seems that my cousin is quite capable."

Seeing that the imperial concubine was happy, Hong Jian said with a smile: "I am here to congratulate you. I think your wish will come true soon."

When the masters of other palaces heard about this, they had different reactions. Some were envious, some were jealous, and even some felt strange.

When Qu Cairen in Yutangzhai heard the news, he paused with the chopsticks in his hand and murmured: "It's really strange that the emperor actually gave the dish to Lu Meiren instead of Zheng Meiren."

Zheng Meiren can now be said to be the most favored in the entire harem. The emperor stayed with her for five out of ten days. Not to mention that they entered the palace in the same batch, even among the concubines and other elderly people, no one was more popular than her.

Yes.

If the emperor's gift today had been delivered to the Ruyi Pavilion, everyone would have been a bit annoyed at most, but if it had been delivered to the Linglong Pavilion, it would be a bit confusing.

Is it possible that after several months of Lu Meiren entering the palace, the emperor finally discovered her beauty?

Zhou Cairen, who was dining with Qu Cairen, heard Qu Cairen's words and said with a smile: "I can't say for sure. Miss Lu is beautiful. The emperor liked her at yesterday's birthday banquet. It's normal to give her two dishes today."

Qu Cairen nodded, "It's normal. Lu Meiren's appearance is unique in this harem. I just don't know why the emperor was indifferent to her before?"

Zhou Cairen shook his head, "How can we guess the emperor's thoughts?"

"That's right." Qu Cairen nodded and said, "I just envy Miss Lu for having that face. If I could have an appearance like Miss Lu, I wouldn't have to worry about falling out of favor at any time."

Qu Cai was selected into the palace, and his appearance was not bad at all. He was even ranked among the top among the concubines. However, compared with Lu Wanning, he was not so outstanding.

"Sister Qu, you don't have to worry about falling out of favor now. Your Majesty will always come to my sister several times a month. Not to mention, you are so lucky, sister." Zhou Cairen sighed: "Whether it is Lu Meiren or Zheng Meiren.

Well, you don’t even need to be envious of Sister Qu, you should be the most enviable in this harem, Sister Qu.”

Hearing this, Qu Cairen lowered his head and touched his belly gently, and laughed. Yes, compared with other concubines in the harem, she was really lucky. She had only been in the palace for three months, and she actually

Got pregnant.

Although she has not yet consulted the imperial doctor for a pulse diagnosis, her menstruation has always been normal, but this time her menstruation has not come for a long time, and she has been very lethargic recently. It is most likely that she is pregnant.

If the baby in her belly is a little prince, she won't have to worry about falling out of favor in the future. Even if the baby in her belly is not a little prince but a little princess, just looking at the current concubines Jing and Hui, she knows that she will always meet him in front of the emperor in the future.

It's somewhat of a face.

However, it is not suitable for people to know that she is pregnant now. She has to find a suitable opportunity to let everyone, especially the emperor, know that she is pregnant.

The opportunity that Qu Cairen spotted was the Emperor's birthday next month.

In fact, she originally intended to let everyone find out that she was pregnant at the Queen Mother's birthday party yesterday, but Zhou Cairen persuaded her, saying that she had just found out that she was pregnant, and it was not suitable to tell it in such a big way, so she should wait until the baby was born.

It would be more appropriate to talk after you have settled down.

She thought so. Anyway, the emperor's birthday was coming soon. If she was diagnosed as pregnant on the emperor's birthday, the emperor would definitely be happy.
