Chapter 96 Meeting the Queen Mother
Lian Yongwang, Qingzhi and others who were waiting in the room had already withdrawn with a look.
After all the clouds and rain, Lu Wanning lay in Luo Chengjing's arms and breathed softly for a moment.
It was already past midnight when Lu Wanning could finally have a good rest. She really didn't understand why the emperor had such good energy. Although he hadn't entered the harem for several days, he went to Xu Jieyu's place last night.
It's not convenient for Yu to serve her, but that's not the case for him either.
Lu Wanning fell asleep in a daze while thinking about it. When she was woken up by Qingzhi the next day, the emperor had already left Linglong Pavilion.
Lu Wanning drank half a cup of warm water in one breath with Qingzhi's hand, and sat on the bed for a while before her hazy mind slowly came to her senses. She raised her legs to get off the bed, but she almost stumbled and fell because her legs were weak. Fortunately,
Qingzhi quickly supported her with quick eyes and hands.
"Master, are you okay?" Qingzhi asked with concern.
Lu Wanning shook her head and said softly: "I'm fine."
Qingzhi wanted to persuade Lu Wanning to take a leave of absence from the queen and not go to ask for her blessing today, but she also knew that the master always had his own ideas, so after thinking about it, she still didn't say anything, but she waited more carefully for Lu Wanning to freshen up.
Yesterday, Lu Wanning went to bed. Naturally, she could not avoid being teased by everyone when she paid her respects. However, Lu Wanning was used to being teased by others. She was not the only one. Anyone who attended the bed the night before would be teased the next day. As long as she remained calm,
Just fight back.
Please come back. Lu Wanning didn't want to practice calligraphy anymore. She just lay lazily on the sofa and listened to Qingdai reading to herself.
A few days later, the palace servants finally made the butterfly-inducing incense according to the incense recipe given by Lu Wanning. After trying it, they found that there was no problem, so they served the newly made incense in front of the Queen Mother.
After seeing this, the Queen Mother called the second princess.
When the second princess heard that a lot of butterfly-inducing incense had been sent, she ran over impatiently. Seeing a large box full of butterfly-inducing incense on the table, she asked the Queen Mother in disbelief: "Grandma, are these really all these?"
Is it the incense that attracts butterflies?"
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "If Lan'er doesn't believe it, you can try it yourself."
"Let Lan'er go and give it a try now." The second princess said and asked someone to take the incense and go with her to the small garden in Shou'an Palace.
The Queen Mother and Concubine Ming looked at the second princess who rushed to the small garden happily, and also took people to the small garden.
After the incense was lit, a butterfly flew over soon. The second princess smiled even more happily when she looked at the flying butterfly.
It is a real butterfly-attracting incense. There are so many butterfly-attracting incense that she can attract butterflies anytime she wants to see them.
The Empress Dowager and Concubine Ming stood for a while and watched the magnificent scene of flying butterflies, and then looked at the shallow pear dimples on the second princess's face. They smiled and led people back to the palace.
After sitting down on the chair, the Queen Mother took a sip from the tea cup and said to Concubine Ming: "Thanks to the butterfly-inducing fragrance this time, Lan'er is almost as lively as before."
Concubine Ming also echoed with lingering fear: "Yes, Lan'er looked so lifeless the past few days and it really made me anxious to death."
The Queen Mother nodded and continued: "The beauty Lu who took out the butterfly-inducing incense can be regarded as meritorious."
Concubine Ming smiled and said: "Yes, the most rare thing is that Lu Meiren is sensible and is willing to offer such a precious fragrance recipe for the second princess."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother agreed: "She is indeed sensible. She is so sensible, and the Ai family cannot be stingy."
After saying that, she said to Lingxiu who was waiting on the side: "Go and invite Lu Meiren to come to Shou'an Palace."
Lingxiu responded and went to Linglong Pavilion.
When Lu Wanning saw Lingxiu, she thought there was something wrong with the production of the butterfly-inducing incense. After hearing Lingxiu say that the butterfly-inducing incense had been made, she felt relieved, and she had a rough idea of the purpose of the Queen Mother asking her to go to Shou'an Palace.
speculation.
Lu Wanning quickly changed her clothes and took Qingzhi and Lingxiu to Shou'an Palace.
This is Lu Wanning's second visit to Shou'an Palace. The last time he came was to wish the Queen Mother her birthday.
Lu Wanning followed Lingxiu to the entrance of the main hall of Shou'an Palace. Lu Wanning stopped and waited for Lingxiu to go in and report to the Queen Mother. She heard the Queen Mother say: "Come in."
She just walked into the main hall, and then bowed to the Queen Mother and Concubine Ming in a proper manner.
The Queen Mother looked at Lu Wanning for a few times and said in a pleasant voice: "Get up."
"I thank you, the Queen Mother." Lu Wanning thanked her and stood up.
"Give me a seat for Miss Lu," the Queen Mother said.
Soon, a young eunuch brought a chair and placed it behind Lu Wanning. Lu Wanning thanked him again and sat down on the chair.
"Miss Lu, does she know why the Ai family came to see you?" the Queen Mother asked.
Lu Wanning did not pretend to be stupid, nor did she act smart. She replied: "I guess the Queen Mother came to me to attract the butterfly fragrance, but I don't dare to speculate on the specific concubine."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother smiled and said to Concubine Ming, "He is a smart one."
Concubine Ming also smiled and nodded, "She is also beautiful. I have seen many older and beautiful girls, but I have never seen many who are as beautiful as Lu Meiren."
When Lu Wanning heard this, she was neither proud nor overly humble, and said generously: "I would like to thank the concubine for the compliment."
The Queen Mother looked at Lu Wanning's elegant appearance and felt a little satisfied. Then she thought with some regret: It would be better if this beauty Lu was not a girl from the Zhongyong Hou Mansion.
Thinking of this, the smile on the Queen Mother's face weakened by two points, and her interest was not that high. She said directly: "The butterfly-inducing fragrant recipe you presented a few days ago is very good, and the Ai family can't take it in vain.
If you have anything you want about your fragrant recipe, you can tell the Ai family."
Queen Mother Lu Wanning glanced at the Queen Mother and did not refuse. The Queen Mother had already said so. If she refused, it would show that she did not know how to flatter her, but what she wanted must be something the Queen Mother was willing to give.
She can't make too extreme demands or make any random demands that may sound deceptive to others.
Lu Wanning thought for a while, then smiled and said to the Queen Mother: "I have been in the palace for almost a year now. Everything else is fine. I just miss my mother at home very much. I wonder if the Queen Mother can allow me to enter the palace to see her in person.
See my concubine."
After hearing this, the Queen Mother smiled and said: "What's so difficult about this? When the Ai family comes back, they will issue an order for your mother to come to the palace to visit you."
