Seeing Lu Wanning's slow movements, Qingzhi was a little puzzled, "Master, since you are not feeling well, why do you have to go to pay your respects to the Queen?"

Obviously the emperor has said that he will be exempted from the master's greetings today.

Lu Wanning said: "Your Majesty exempted me from greeting you. It was His Majesty's compassion, but I cannot ignore the rules. Now that I'm awake, I should go and greet the Queen."

The emperor was in a good mood at the moment, so he sympathized with her and exempted her from paying her respects. However, if the emperor were to be in a bad mood in the future, or if he saw the imperial concubine acting and remembered her behavior of not going to greet the imperial concubine today, there is no guarantee that he would not feel that she was the same as the imperial concubine.

Relying on the support of the Zhongyong Houfu behind him, he did not abide by the rules.

Because of the imperial concubine, the emperor himself was already resistant to her. Now she finally managed to make the emperor think about her, but she could not arouse the emperor's disgust because of this.

After Lu Wanning packed up, she went out to pay her respects to the Queen a little earlier than usual. Knowing that she was not feeling well today and walking slowly on the road, she didn't delay any longer, holding Qingzhi's hand and went out.

When Lu Wanning walked slowly to Fengyi Palace, it happened to be about the same time as she usually arrived at Fengyi Palace.

As soon as she sat down in her seat, Qu Cairen and Zhou Cairen also arrived.

"Lu Meiren." After the two of them greeted Lu Wanning, they sat down a little behind her.

As soon as Qu Cairen sat down, he yawned under the cover of the veil, obviously looking sleepy and not yet awake.

After yawning, Qu Cairen put down the handkerchief in his hand and looked at Lu Wanning, saying, "Miss Lu, she is in such good spirits. She went to bed yesterday and came so early today!"

Lu Wanning smiled and said lightly, "I want to pay my respects to the Queen. How could I not come earlier?"

"Yes." Qu Cairen nodded and said no more.

After waiting for the queen to come out for a short time, Qu Cairen yawned several times in succession.

Lu Wanning couldn't help but look at her twice.

When the queen came out and saw Lu Wanning, there was a trace of surprise on her face, and she said with a smile: "How come Miss Lu is here? The emperor just sent someone to say hello, so you don't have to pay your respects."

Lu Wanning replied respectfully: "It is a rule to greet the Queen. The Emperor is kind-hearted and considerate of his concubines, but they must not be ignorant."

"Lu Meiren, you are a little too disciplined. Since the Emperor has spared your greetings, you can just rest for a while." The queen said, shaking her head, and continued: "In this regard, you still have to learn more from the noble concubine. At the same time,

She is a girl from the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, and the imperial concubine is much more casual."

The queen was quite complaining about the imperial concubine not coming to pay her respects.

Lu Wanning pretended not to understand the meaning of the Queen's words and said: "The Queen's lesson is that I must learn more from the Imperial Concubine in the future."

The imperial concubine covered the sneer at the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said calmly: "The queen does not need to compare Lu Mei and my concubine. Although they are sisters, the situation is different."

"I also want to come here every day to pay my respects to the Queen, but my body is not up to par. She was pregnant with a child and was aborted for no reason. It took more than half a year to nurse her back to health."

Although there is no evidence, the concubine believes that she will have an abortion, and it is impossible for her to have nothing to do with the queen.

The queen said calmly: "The imperial concubine is indeed fragile. She must take good care of her in the future. Don't always be stuck in the past. Things about children always depend on fate. Sometimes in life, it must be there. You can't force it.

, the noble concubine should also be more open-minded."

When the imperial concubine heard this, the silk handkerchief in her hand was almost torn. She almost used all her strength to control the anger in her heart, and nodded: "What the Queen said is that some things cannot be forced."

For example, take the position of crown prince. Even if the crown prince has managed to secure his position now, given the crown prince's qualifications, it's hard to say who will take the crown prince's position in the future.

Will she still be proud of the queen when the time comes?

Thinking of this, the imperial concubine's eyes turned hot when she looked at Lu Wanning, hoping that her cousin would be able to give birth to a little prince as soon as possible.

The imperial concubine put out the fire, and no one started arguing again. Everyone sat for a while and drank a lot of tea. After the queen said it was time to leave, they all got up and left.

When she came out, Lu Wanning glanced at Qu Cairen again and saw that she seemed to be extra careful when walking. Not only did she walk slowly and steadily, she would also subconsciously protect her belly when someone passed by.

"With such behavior, I'm afraid she's pregnant, right?" Lu Wanning murmured in a low voice.

Qingzhi, who was supporting her at the side, did not hear Lu Wanning's murmur clearly. She only heard the word "pregnant" in Lu Wanning's words.

She didn't know that Lu Wanning had taken the secret contraceptive pill before, and thought that Lu Wanning hoped that she could get pregnant as soon as possible, so she smiled and said: "Master, don't be anxious, you have the opportunity to sleep with me now, and you will definitely be able to do it in a few times."

Pregnant with a dragon heir."

Lu Wanning shook her head, "That's not what I meant."

Qingzhi looked confused, that's not what the master was talking about, but who was the master talking about being pregnant?

"Qu Cairen, I suspect she may be pregnant." Lu Wanning said.

Qingzhi's eyes widened when she heard this, Qu Cairen?

Although Qu Cairen is still favored among the newlyweds, the number of bedtime visits is far inferior to that of Zheng Meiren and Cui Jieyu. She is actually pregnant?

Lu Wanning looked at Qingzhi and said amusedly: "I'm just guessing."

However, she felt that her guess was probably correct. Although Zhou Cairen and Qu Cairen lived together in Yutangzhai, she was not close to Qu Cairen in the past.

She suddenly got close to Qu Cairen two days ago, and she probably discovered that Qu Cairen was pregnant, so she decided to give Qu Cairen the opportunity to avenge her sister.

After all, as long as the concubines in the palace have given birth to princes and princesses, the lowest status is concubine. If Qu Cairen is really pregnant, she can still give birth safely, even if she cannot be promoted to concubine for a while, it will be a matter of time.

There are not many people in the emperor's harem now, and most of them are low-ranking concubines. There are only two concubines in the concubine position, Hui Concubine and An Concubine. The other seven concubine positions are all empty, and there is only one concubine Jingfei in the concubine position.

, it is not difficult for the concubines below to move up.

"Qu Cai is so lucky." Qingzhi said enviously.

Lu Wanning smiled and did not deny Qingzhi's words, but she also did not agree with them.

Qu Cairen would be lucky if she could give birth to her child safely, and even if she gave birth to her child safely, with her current rank, even if the emperor raised her status, she would not be able to raise the child herself.

Whoever the child will end up with is still uncertain.

What's more, if she gave birth to a prince, would the queen be able to bear it and not take action?
