Lu Zhen's eldest girl Pomegranate saw Lu Zhen come back, and quickly helped her take off her outer coat and take off the jewelry on her head to make her feel better.

"Girl, the eldest girl is really favored by the queen?"

Pomegranate asked Lu Zhen softly.

Lu Zhen nodded: "It should be about the same, the queen asked me to come forward with my sister to ask questions, and I also rewarded the hairpin." ”

Lu Zhen took out An Ningxian's hairpin and carefully put it into the makeup box.

Pomegranate glanced at it and exclaimed, "Girl, this is the Nine Phoenix Hairpin." ”

Lu Zhen really didn't take a closer look at what hairpins An Ning rewarded, she felt that it was similar to Lu Shan's, it should be a golden phoenix hairpin, but she didn't expect that the queen rewarded her with a nine phoenix hairpin.

Generally speaking, the emperor is a dragon, the queen is a phoenix, and in the royal family, in addition to the queen, the princess and princess can also use the phoenix, but the specifications are different.

Lu Zhen has heard that today's queen is not very good at wearing any expensive hairpins, unless it is an important occasion, she will wear a crown of nine dragons and four phoenixes, decorated with twelve flowers.

She also knew that the phoenix crowns of Princess Duan and Princess Yi were generally eight phoenixes plus flowers and hairpins and eight trees.

And the nine phoenix hairpins that the queen rewarded her were even higher than the princess's specifications.

Although it is not as good as the queen, but it is between the princess and the queen, what does this mean?

Lu Zhen couldn't even think of it.

Pomegranate had also followed Lu Zhen on the edge of the Yellow River earlier, and her insight was better than that of ordinary girls in the inner house.

She thought about it too.

Pomegranate said in a low voice: "Girl, isn't it the queen who takes a fancy to you." ”

Lu Zhen shook her head: "Don't think about it, how can a queen like me take a fancy to it?"

It's not that Lu Zhen is not confident, but she is too different from the current Beijing ladies, those ladies' beauty is white and thin, the skin maintenance is particularly delicate, and the action is elegant and leisurely, like a weak willow supporting the wind.

But Lu Zhen is darker than other ladies, and fatter and plumper than them, in short, in the eyes of others, Lu Zhen is not beautiful, on the contrary, she is a little ugly.

She didn't believe that the queen would take a fancy to her among so many beauties.

When Lu Shan returned to the room, she took out An Ning's hairpin and put it on the table to take a closer look, and her personal girl also looked over.

"Girl, this is the Eight Zhai hairpins. ”

Zhai is also a pheasant, and the general first- and second-grade orders are embroidered with Zhai patterns, and Lu Shan got these eight Zhai hairpins, which is An Ning blessing her to become Mrs. Zhai.

And Ba Zhai, Princess Duan's phoenix crown is Ba Feng, she is not a princess now, she is not married, she is just a boudoir woman, isn't this Ba Zhai saying that she may become a princess?

The more Lu Shan thought about it, the happier she became: "The meaning of the queen mother is obvious, this is to take a fancy to me as the princess." ”

Her personal girl was a little pity: "It's a pity that it's not the crown princess." ”

Lu Shan thought beautifully: "Maybe, the prince didn't marry a concubine, how could the prince of the county marry a wife, I can't say that I am the crown princess." ”

The girls in Lu Shan's house couldn't help but be happy, and at the same time, they were even more arrogant.

Lu Zhen was warning Pomegranate: "I am not allowed to say anything about the nine phoenix hairpins, I forgot about it when I got out of this house, and I saw that the people in the eldest girl's room were tolerant, these days, we have suffered some grievances." ”

Pomegranate understood what Lu Zhen meant.

With Lu Shan's urine nature, if he knew that Lu Zhen had a nine phoenix hairpin, he was afraid that he would do something harmful to Lu Zhen because of jealousy.

Now that Lu Wang is not in Beijing, the old lady and the lady are all towards Lu Shan, Lu San wants to harm Lu Zhen, but there is really no one to protect her, if something really happens, Lu Zhen and Pomegranate are not in danger.

"Girl, I understand. ”

Pomegranate hurriedly promised: "It's nothing if I'm wronged, as long as the girl can get better in the future, the prince ......"

Lu Zhen hurriedly interrupted Pomegranate: "How can the prince allow us to talk, we are not allowed to mention the queen mother and the prince in the future, let alone the affairs in the palace." ”

Pomegranate nodded solemnly.

The four of Zhaoyang came to Fengqi Palace to ask An Ning for peace.

Feng Yang ate a few fruits first, then approached An Ning and asked with a smile: "Queen Mother, will she be my sister-in-law in the future when you give Lu Second Girl Nine Phoenix Hairpin?"

An Ning flicked on Feng Yang's forehead: "Not necessarily." ”

Belch?

At this time, even Zhaoyang was surprised: "The queen mother even gave the nine phoenix hairpins, why do you still say that it is not necessarily?"

An Ning smiled: "How can the crown princess be so easy, her heart is not enough, how can she be a country in the future? ”

An Ning's words have come to this point, the four princesses are all clever, and they can understand why in an instant.

The average girl will definitely think that this is the queen's recognition of her, and the nine phoenix hairpin proves that the queen has chosen her to be the crown princess, then, if the heart is not enough, she will inevitably be overjoyed and act arrogantly.

If it were someone else's girl, she would be arrogant, and the whole family would be happy with her.

But the situation of the Lu family is different.

Miss Lu Er is not favored, there is a big girl above her who is favored, and even her biological mother is biased.

The eldest girl's conditions are better than the second girl's in all aspects, if the second girl becomes arrogant, not only the eldest girl, but also Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu can't stand her, she may be in danger, there is no life, or her innocence is destroyed, this is possible.

"What if Miss Lu Er's heart is not good enough and she is killed?"

Feng Yang was a little worried, even if he wanted to be tempted, it would not be good for the family to fill in their lives.

An Ning smiled and comforted Feng Yang: "It's okay, I let people protect her secretly, and I won't let her be in any danger." ”

Feng Yang breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." ”

For several days, every day the secret agents hidden in the Lu family would send news to An Ning, what did the second girl Lu do, how did the second girl Lu do, how the second girl Lu endured, how the girl in the house was arrogant, how provocative, the second girl Lu couldn't bear it, and did not reveal any meaning of being favored by the palace.

An Ning watched the news about Lu Zhen for several days, and finally made a decision.

The crown princess was selected, and Xiao Yuan naturally asked the officials of the Ministry of Rites to discuss this matter.

He also passed Qian Tingde, who had just taken office, to go to the study to draw up the decree.

At the beginning of the Jing Dynasty, many etiquette did not imitate the previous dynasty, but was re-established, and the crown prince marrying a concubine was also the first time in the Jing Dynasty, and there was no old precedent to imitate, and these etiquette rules had to be discussed by officials of the Ministry of Etiquette.

How to go to the Lu family to issue an edict, how to make a decision, how to perform the six rites, this needs to be arranged by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, they take out the charter and then hand it to An Ning, An Ning feels that it is feasible, and this can be done.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites discussed for several days before writing the charter and handing it to the palace, and An Ning felt quite satisfied with it, so it was settled.

Later, in order to show solemnity, Lin Lianshuang, the first assistant, took the officials of the Ministry of Rites to the Lu family to issue an edict.

On this day, the group arrived at the Lu family, and the housekeeper of the Lu family was flustered and surprised.

Soon the Lu family's inner house was alarmed.

A few girls shouted: "Old lady, madam, great joy, Lin Shoufu has brought the officials of the Ministry of Rites to deliver the decree." ”

The old lady and the Liu family were pleasantly surprised when they heard this, and hurriedly asked people to put incense on the table and prepare to receive the order.

In addition, they also asked Lu Shan and Lu Zhen to go to the front hall.

The main gate of the Lu family was wide open, and Lin Lianshuang entered the door with a group of officials and attendants, and an incense case had been placed in the main hall.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites began to announce the decree.

Mrs. Lu and Liu knelt in front, and Lu Shan and Lu Zhen knelt behind.

Lu Zhen's face was ordinary, and Lu Shan's face was full of joy, because of ecstasy, her face was very red.

After the officials of the Ministry of Rites read the holy decree, Mrs. Lu and the Liu family were dumbfounded, and Lu Shan looked incredulous.

Old Madam Lu asked cautiously: "My lord, you are not mistaken, is it my second girl who chose the queen mother?"

The official of the Ministry of Rites sneered: "How can I make a mistake in the imperial pen on the holy decree, what a big deal it is for the prince to choose a concubine, if it is wrong, the official's head will be gone." ”

Lu Shan suddenly jumped up: "Impossible, it's obviously me, how can it be Lu Zhen, you must be mistaken, you must be mistaken, it's me, I'm the princess, I'm the princess." ”

Liu hurriedly went to pull Lu Shan, and Lu San shook Liu away: "It's all you, you sweet-faced and bitter-hearted, how good you are to me on the surface, but secretly you are not planning for your daughter." ”

She jumped again to beat Lu Zhen: "You slut, slut, I am the crown princess, you return my crown princess." ”

Lin Lianshuang couldn't help frowning when she looked at it, and when Lu Shan was about to hit Lu Zhen, Lin Lianshuang stepped forward and grabbed Lu Shan left and right and slapped her a few times.
