Chapter 136: The Good-Tempered Duchess of Miguo

An Guifei's family background is now prominent, but An Huaisu's power is both a help and a constraint.Jun Xiao is not stupid, and he vaguely knows that his father's attitude towards An Huaisu is very ambiguous.

But Concubine Shu is different, she and her maiden family have always been very low-key, so low-key that many people forget their savings.

Thinking of this, Jun Xiao already had an idea in his heart, but frowned again, "Concubine Shu has no heirs for so many years, and she never thought about succeeding when she was the most favored, how can she be impressed now?"

Le Yu looked indifferent, and there seemed to be a sigh in her eyes: "Now the situation is very different, the battle for the heir is about to break out, and who can be alone? Concubine Shu is the same, and if Princess Ancheng really marries Qinghai, then Concubine Shu's status is even more subtle and dangerous, I have explored with Princess Ancheng, the biggest reason why she is unwilling to marry far away is that she can't let go of Concubine Shu.

Jun Xiao suddenly realized that Le Yu told him in advance, and he also wanted him to be aware of it when facing Concubine Shu, so as not to miss the opportunity."

He nodded slowly, "I see."

Both allies. There is no need to hide these things from Jun Xiao, hide his entanglement with Cheng Lingye, Le Yu will make a long story short. Informed Jun Xiao of the inside story.

Jun Xiao had just raised his thoughts about Le Yu, and he was shattered by her words, and he smiled bitterly, such a resolute woman who was willing to return a tooth for a tooth still made him a little resistant to being a wife.

Le Yu didn't know what Jun Xiao was thinking, and said slowly: "I'm afraid that it won't be calm when I enter the palace this year, and the Mansion of the Duke of Miguo is definitely not a family that can't bear to be reasonable." I also have my own plans, and I'm afraid that I will need you to help me secretly."

Jun Xiao did not hesitate, nodded and said, "Be careful yourself." There is a crisis everywhere in the palace, so don't be careless."

Le Yu nodded, no politeness, estimating that Luzhu was about to return. He greeted Jun Xiao. Took Zhuji and sat downstairs in the window seat.

I asked for a pot of top-quality incense slices and a few side dishes, and ate and drank slowly, and Luzhu hurried back after a cup of tea, still carrying freshly baked hot pastries in his hand.

Seeing her rushing back, Leyu dropped a silver horn and got up: "Let's go."

Lu Zhu looked at the people in the building quietly, but found nothing, and disappointment flashed in her eyes. had to follow Leyu into the carriage aggrievedly.

When she got home, Le Yu went to Heningtang first. The old lady was disgusted: "It's really disobedient, follow your mother home and don't do it, you have to hang out outside.

Le Yu took the chestnut cake flatteringly, "Grandmother, I'm not greedy for fun, two days ago you said that you have no appetite, you don't eat food, I specially bought the chestnut cake from Donglaiju, it's still hot, you eat some, keep your appetite much better."

The old lady motioned for Mother Han to open it, and took a piece herself and tasted it, "Well, his chestnut cake is soft and sweet, and the taste hasn't changed for decades."

Looking at the old lady's face with satisfaction and happy smile, Luzhu was very depressed, and even bought pastries with a calculation.

Dayong's New Year's festival process is very cumbersome, early in the morning of the first day of the new year, the emperor and queen with the prince and the princess will first worship their ancestors in the Huangji Palace, the princess and concubine can only kneel outside the hall, only the queen can accompany the emperor and the prince to go to the incense and kneel and pray.

After the ceremony, the emperor took the prince to the front court to worship and feast, and the queen took the concubines and princesses to accept the worship of the inner and outer women in the harem Mingluan Hall and held a banquet.

The old lady of the Duke of Miguo knelt behind the old lady in the court dress of the eldest princess Fengluan, staring at the green jade ground on the ground, and as everyone sang the promise and bowed, she heard the always dignified and noble voice of Queen Song: "Get up." Then they got up and returned to their seats.

Queen Song today wore the queen's red gold and silver silk Su embroidered bird Chaofeng court clothes, her makeup was exquisite and majestic, her eyes swept over the people below, etc., spontaneously overlooking the heroic spirit of all beings, and said with a smile: "God bless Dayong, the wind and rain are smooth and the world is peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is also the result of the concerted efforts of all people here, this palace is the mother of the world, thank you in advance."

Raising a glass to pay respect, this is also the rule of the past years.Le Yu raised a glass with everyone and sang a promise: "Thank you Queen Mother." When he raised his head and drank dry, he poured all the wine on the ground under the cover of the big sleeves.

Empress Song saluted three glasses and stopped, and drove to the Imperial Palace.

As soon as Empress Song left, the atmosphere in the hall was slightly relaxed, and some people began to leave the table in twos and threes to respect each other.

Le Yu nodded quietly, and also went to the front of Chairman Baoqing Gong with Yizhen.

Le Yu turned her head, a little surprised and a little surprised, "I am, you are?"

The lady's face was calm and gentle, but her eyes were slightly sorrowful, "I am the Duchess of Miguo." When she met her, Leyu knew her identity when she saw her standing next to the old lady of Miguo and wearing a first-class court dress, but she didn't think that she would take the initiative to come over and talk to her.

Le Yu was calm and calm in the worried eyes of Baoqing and Yizhen, and bowed down in courtesy, "I've seen the Duchess of Miguo."

Jiang Wu's eyes glanced at her vaguely, and sure enough, her posture was clear and her eyes were bright, she was a rare beauty, thinking of her dead daughter, Jiang Wu's heart ached, but she still smiled on her face, and stretched out her hand to support Le Yu, "Hurry up, don't say much."

She didn't beat around the bush, and said softly in front of Baoqing and the others: "Actually, I took the opportunity to say sorry to Miss Xiao Si today."

Le Yu was surprised and raised her eyebrows: "What does Madam mean?" Jiang Wu looked extremely gentle and weak, and sighed: "My family's dream has suffered misfortune, my mother has wronged Miss Xiao Si in heartache, and I blame you a lot, this is indeed not for the fourth girl.

Everyone was stunned, it was a little unfortunate to mention the death of the person in the New Year, but no one expected that Jiang Wu's family did not deliberately provoke and insult Le Yu, but humbly apologized.

After all, although the Duke of Miguo has a bad reputation, this Duchess of Miguo is well-known for her good temper.

Le Yu's eyes were deep, and a strange look flashed, but she already smiled and said: "Madame, don't be like this, speaking of which, our two families are not outsiders, how can we blame them?

Jiang Wu nodded with a smile, seemed to be very relieved, and very moved, and said a few words of greeting before saying goodbye.

Yizhen didn't speak, with doubts in her eyes, but she looked at Le Yu again, and said with a smile: "Yes, it is better to settle the dispute, it is best to be able to talk about it."

Baoqing is also very busy as a princess on such an occasion, Le Yu and Yizhen wanted to leave as much as they could, but Ancheng somehow knocked over the cup, and quickly stood up with an oops, but the rose-red clothes were already half wet.

The palace maids beside her were startled, and hurriedly wiped her with a handkerchief, but where did she wipe it clean? Baoqing said with concern: "Sister, this dress can't be worn anymore, let's go and change another one."

An Cheng wiped it in annoyance but to no avail, so he had to say: "It's only like this, fortunately, I brought my clothes, so I can only go to the Deyue Pavilion next to me to change."

She grabbed Le Yu and smiled: "Sister Yu, why don't you go with me, it's always a little embarrassing to be alone." Indeed, it is not a lady's work to wet your clothes in public.

Le Yu's heart moved, and she said slowly: "Since the princess has a life, she should accompany her."

Baoqing didn't notice anything, and shouted: "Then you guys go quickly, don't miss the court." According to the rules, after three rounds of wine in the previous dynasty, the emperor and queen will go to the harem together so that the wife can also bow to the emperor and enjoy peace together.

Le Yu helped Ancheng out of the hall in a hurry, and went to the Deyue Pavilion next to it.

The palace maid of Ancheng brought a change of clothes to help Ancheng enter the warm pavilion, and bowed respectfully: "Please also ask Miss Xiao Si to wait here."

Le Yu didn't want to, nodded and sat alone with the green bamboo on the two rows of nanmu chairs in the ear room next to her, waiting patiently.

Not long after An Cheng entered, he heard a soft and kind voice: "Miss Xiao Si." Le Yu seemed to have expected it, and calmly got up and saluted the door: "Concubine Niangniang."

Outside the door stood a noble lady wearing an ochre cardigan pattern hibiscus palace dress, with a quiet, graceful and dignified gaze, but it was the concubine.

Lu Zhu had already knelt down with Le Yu, but he was extremely shocked in his heart, and smelled a trace of unusual smell, obviously, this is not a coincidence.

Concubine Shu was also surprised to see Le Yu's calm face, she stood in front of Le Yu but didn't scream, and said in surprise: "Do you know I'm coming?"

Le Yu maintained a respectful and humble smile, and said slowly: "Princess Ancheng has always been calm and dignified, how could she wet her dress for no reason?

Concubine Shu snorted, sat down on the top, and then said, "Get up."

Le Yu got up and stood with her hands down, but Concubine Shu didn't let her sit, but stared at Le Yu, her eyes were no longer gentle but a little cold, "I think your words that day were not unintentional?" (To be continued.) )
