"But..." the queen shook her head and said, "but the emperor is already dissatisfied with the prince. If they give birth to another prince, wouldn't the prince's status become even more unstable?"

When Mrs. Ying heard this, she said angrily: "Have you heard what I just said? If you don't take action, they may threaten the prince in the future, but if you do, you may become a useless queen.

The prince's status will be unstable immediately, do you understand?"

"I just have to be careful and don't let the emperor find out." The queen thought about it carefully and felt that Ying's words were a bit alarmist. It's not like she had never done this kind of thing before. Wasn't it a good thing and nothing happened?

Ying really wanted to pry open the Queen's head and see what was in her mind. She took a deep breath and said, "Do you really think that no one else knows about the things you did before? No one does.

Fool, the emperor is not stupid, it’s just that the emperor doesn’t want to pursue it for the sake of the old master and the prince.”

"But the situation is different now. Once the emperor is investigated, deposing the queen will be considered a light thing. Think about it for yourself. The old man has lived for so long and gone through three dynasties. When did he miss the words he said? If you don't listen to the advice,

When the old man really doesn't care about you anymore, you will regret it even though you have no place to regret it."

"And do you think that if a prince is not born, the prince will definitely become the next emperor, and you will definitely become the queen mother? I tell you that unless you kill King Qi, King Ning, King Mu and their sons, this matter will not happen

There are always variables.”

It’s not like there were no examples of emperors passing the throne to their younger brothers and nephews before in the Yong Dynasty.

After some hard talking, Mrs. Ying finally managed to talk the Queen through, and the Queen also promised that she would be stricter with the Prince in the future, and that she would always ask the family's opinion before doing anything, and would not do anything to the stomachs of Hui Bin and Qu Cairen.

After Ying left, the queen sat alone for a long time. First, she was glad that she had not told the emperor that she would not let the prince go to Jianzhang Palace every day in the future. Then she called the prince who was playing with the little eunuch to her side and said to the prince.

He said: "Cong'er, you are in good health. From tomorrow onwards, you can go to the study room and study with a good teacher."

When the prince heard this, the smile on his face disappeared, and he acted coquettishly with the queen with a grimace, "Mother, I feel that my head is still a little dizzy, can you rest for two more days before going to study."

"No!" The queen almost agreed, but remembering what Ying said, she still cruelly rejected the prince and said firmly: "The queen knows very well whether you are in good health or not, and you will start tomorrow..."

"No, just go and read and write for me now, and I will keep an eye on you personally." The queen said and urged the prince to go to the study.

The prince didn't know why his mother suddenly stopped loving him, but when he saw the queen's expression that there was no room for negotiation, he had no choice but to go to the study with a sad face.

The queen kept her promise and actually sat next to the prince all afternoon and watched him read.

The Queen stared at him intently and read the book for most of the day. He was not given any chance to be lazy and play. The next day, the Prince went to the study room by himself without being urged by the Queen.

At least the teacher would let him rest for a while when he was studying in the study room, and would not sit next to him and stare at him like his mother did.

The queen looked at the prince who came to greet her, tidied his clothes, and said warmly: "Go to the study room and study hard. Otherwise, if your father checks your homework later and you can't answer it, the queen mother will stop serving your cakes."

"

"You're not allowed to skip school anymore, do you understand?"

The prince responded weakly: "I understand, Queen Mother."

After that, the queen basically focused all her thoughts on the prince. She only wanted to encourage the prince to study hard every day, and she didn't seem to be that concerned about other things.

Even though Hui Bin became more disrespectful and arrogant towards her because of her pregnancy, she tolerated it.

September 12th is the emperor's birthday. On his birthday, although Luo Chengjing didn't have to go to the morning court, he was no less leisurely than usual.

At noon, he would attend a family banquet in the palace and receive congratulations from the concubines, princes and princesses. In the evening, he would attend a palace banquet in Cheng'an Palace and entertain all officials.

The noon family banquet was hosted by the Queen, and the banquet started at a quarter past noon.

When there were still two quarters of an hour before noon, Lu Wanning packed herself up, packed the gift for the emperor into a box, handed it to Qingzhi, took her with her, and prepared to go to Yunyin Hall where the banquet would be held.

Qingzhi looked at the box in her hand, then at the sachet embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon that was still in the basket, and said, "Master, that sachet..."

Every stitch and thread of the sachet was embroidered by the master himself, and the double-sided embroidery was very laborious. After the embroidery was completed, the master carefully mixed the spices and put them in it. Qingzhi thought that this was what the master had prepared for the emperor.

Birthday gift.

As a result, the master asked her to search for a Duan Inkstone last night and put it away as a birthday gift to the emperor.

This Duan inkstone was a famous inkstone from the previous dynasty, and it could be given to the emperor as a birthday gift. It was infinitely more valuable than the sachet made by the master himself, but Qingzhi felt that it would be better to give such an inkstone to one made by the master himself.

If the sachet is good, if not, you can send the sachet and inkstone together.

After all, every stitch and thread in the sachet was the master's intention. The emperor could understand the master's intentions when he saw the sachet.

Lu Wanning looked back at the sachet thrown in the basket and smiled: "Let's put it here first."

After Lu Wanning said this, Qingzhi stopped trying to persuade her. After being in the palace for so long, Qingzhi also saw it clearly. Although many times they didn't understand Lu Wanning's behavior at the time, in the end they would find that these behaviors had deep meanings.

And the effects are very good.

When Lu Wanning arrived at Yunyin Hall, many people had not arrived yet, including Qu Cairen, but Zhou Cairen, who had been very close to Qu Cairen before, had arrived.

Seeing Lu Wanning come in, Zhou Cairen smiled and said hello to her.

Lu Wanning nodded to her with a smile, and then sat down in her seat under the guidance of the palace attendant. There was an empty seat between her seat and Zhou Cairen's seat, which should belong to Qu Cairen.

After Lu Wanning sat down, Zhou Cairen talked to Lu Wanning across the empty seat: "Why did Lu Meiren come so early?"

Although Lu Wanning is not a favorite now, he is still favored, especially when Lu Wanning met the emperor in the imperial garden some time ago and got a pot of chrysanthemums rewarded by the emperor, which made everyone in the harem envious.

It's not that this chrysanthemum is valuable or rare. Although the pot of purple dragon and snow that Lu Wanning got is indeed a rare treasure, there are no flowers of similar quality in the flower room. The concubines in the harem are envious of that.

The potted flower was rewarded by the emperor. Among the many concubines in the harem, only Lu Wanning got it. Can you not make everyone envious?

There is a favor and a sister who is a noble concubine. It would not be a problem even if Lu Wanning came a little later than the high-ranking concubines, but Lu Wanning came so early, a little earlier than some low-ranking concubines.

The same is true when greeting the queen, always early.

Lu Wanning smiled and said, "Didn't Zhou Cairen come quite early?"

Zhou Cairen shook his head, "I'm different from you."

Lu Wanning said: "What's the difference? I'm beautiful and you're talented, so there's nothing wrong with them."

"That's much worse. Lu Meiren, your future has infinite possibilities, but my future is already destined." After entering the palace for several years, she tried her best to get no favor, so her future will be like this, without favor, no love, and lonely.

forever.

She is not afraid of such a future, but her wish has not been fulfilled yet, and she is still a little unwilling to give up.

Zhou Cairen laughed at himself and said, "Let's not talk about it anymore. What gift did Lu Meiren prepare for the emperor today?"

After asking, Zhou Cairen added, "I'm just curious and asked casually. If it's not convenient for Lu Meiren to tell me, then forget it."
