Chapter Sixty-Nine: It's Coming Fast
Old Madam Lu nodded with satisfaction, "Good Lan'er, your grandfather will definitely not harm you, let alone let you lose to others, even if we pour out the entire Lu family, we will send you to the throne of the queen." ”
Looking at the tired eyes of her grandmother in front of her, Lu Guifei knelt on the ground, "Grandmother, it's my granddaughter who is unfilial, and she can't serve you and grandpa every day, and she even needs you to plan for my future." After saying that, he began to kowtow.
Hearing Lu Guifei say this, the old lady felt even more uncomfortable, and hurriedly pulled her up, "What are you doing, you have been sensible since you were a child, and you have never shouted bitterness even if what you have learned is difficult, if grandpa and grandmother don't feel sorry for you, who else can you feel sorry for." ”
The open-hearted conversation between the grandfather and grandson made the two of them a lot closer, and Lu Yanlan did not hide all the questions asked by the old lady.
"By the way, there's one more thing to tell you, don't you want to be a sacrificial dancer? Your grandfather said that he would unite the ministers to write to His Majesty, and then the candidate could only be you. Looking at her delicate granddaughter, she would rather she not enter the palace to be this concubine.
nodded movingly, "Okay, I'll listen to grandpa." Just don't force grandpa, his body is the most important thing. ”
The old lady looked at Lu Guifei with relief, her granddaughter was sensible, and she knew that she cared about her old man. After a while, he asked, "How are you doing?" There are no hidden dangers left by the last poisoning. ”
"Don't worry, grandmother, the imperial doctor has already shown me, but my body is a little lost, and I will be fine if I recuperate well, and there will be nothing else." After thinking about it, I still didn't tell the truth, so as not to worry my grandmother.
Since she is fine, she is relieved, if the life in the palace is not a son and a half daughter, it will definitely be difficult, even if there is their Lu family, it is useless, after all, she and the old man have not been in a few years.
"By the way, grandmother, don't you always fall asleep? Granddaughter: Here are two good mountain ginsengs, you can take them back. Lu Guifei pouted and said, showing a touch of her daughter's coquettishness on her face.
The old lady shook her head again and again, half happy and half reproachful, and said: "It's not that our Lu family doesn't have nothing, but your body is so weak, keep it for yourself, my body grandmother knows it." ”
"Don't tell me such extraneous things, and besides, where is the mountain ginseng used to supplement the body of the granddaughter's strong body, it is the most suitable for the grandmother. If you don't refuse, you should let your granddaughter do her filial piety. Lu Guifei said strongly.
Seeing that her granddaughter was sincere, she couldn't live up to it, so she nodded and accepted it.
It was already time for lunch, and the grandparents and grandchildren had a happy meal.
As he was talking, the little road beside the emperor came, and he brought a lot of things. "Concubine Niang Jin'an, the old lady is good." smiled and saluted, and then continued: "Niangniang, Your Majesty knows that the old lady has entered the palace, but now she is busy and has no time to come, so these things are given to the old lady to raise her body, and please don't blame the lady and the old lady." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Father-in-law Lao has made a trip." The old lady said with a smile.
Lu Guifei glanced at Caiyu beside her, and Caiyu stepped forward and stuffed a bag of silver to Xiao Luzi, and then left with a smile.
Seeing that it was not early, the old lady got up and left. Hundred Flowers Literature
"Your Majesty, Concubine Zhong is here." Xiao Luzi saw that the emperor was busy looking at the excerpts, and said cautiously.
Although they haven't met yet, he can roughly guess the purpose of Zhong Guifei's coming, but coming at this time was unexpected by him, and he came a little quickly.
But even though he thought so in his heart, he said, "If you come, please come in." ”
Zhong Guifei knelt down as soon as she came in, and she knelt on the ground without speaking, Zhao Xihe looked left and right, and asked all the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting to retreat.
"You came pretty quickly, much earlier than I expected. Tell me, what's the idea? He put down the fold in his hand and said straight to the point.
She also knew that now was not the best time, but when she heard that Old Madam Lu had entered the palace, she guessed the purpose of the Lu family, and she could only start planning for herself, otherwise she might not have it at all.
"Your Majesty can still remember our agreement, and remember the promise that the concubine exchanged for military power." Anyway, there is no one left and right, Zhong Guifei said without concealment.
Zhao Xihe nodded, "I naturally remember, do you want to use this to remind me?" After speaking, his eyes changed, and the empty eyes just now were instantly filled with ruthlessness, as if Zhong Guifei's answer was not satisfied, she would have to do it.
took a deep breath and said without being humble or arrogant: "The concubine never dares to overstep the game, but if she wants Your Majesty to keep her promise, the concubine will have nothing else to ask for." ”
"Don't worry, I will do what I promised you. I...... Not a man of his word. After thinking about it, he said it.
Hearing the emperor say this, Zhong Guifei was relieved, no matter what, she must seize this opportunity so that others dare not forget that she is a military general.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, concubine, since the matter has a result, I won't bother Your Majesty to see the excerpts, and the concubine will retire." After saying that, Fu Fu retreated, leaving no chance to save Zhao Xihe, for fear that he would regret it.
Looking at the clouds in the sky with his hands behind his back, he was even more worried, since Zhong Guifei came in person, it means that the Lu family's actions tomorrow will definitely not be small, but he really didn't think about who to choose.
Sure enough, as soon as he went to the morning court the next day, Lu Zhi said about this matter, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lu Guifei is the most suitable person." Although Zhong Guifei is good, she is not proficient in dancing, let alone such an important thing as sacrificial leading dance. Lu Guifei is the granddaughter of Lao Chen, and she has been proficient in this way since she was a child, so she is the best candidate. ”
A hint of mockery flashed in Zhao Xihe's eyes, this old thing has a good tone, no matter what, Concubine Zhong is also the concubine of the Zhaoping Marquis Mansion, how could she not understand this, how could she not be proficient in this way.
"Since Lu Lao said this, I want to argue with you, I know Lu Guifei's talent, but this Zhong Guifei is the concubine of Zhaoping Houfu, although Zhaoping Houfu is proficient in martial arts, but it may not be that he does not pay attention to the teaching of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. In this way, how could Lu Lao know that Zhong Guifei must be inappropriate. Zhao Xihe sat on the dragon chair and said loudly.
Lu Zhi lowered his head and sneered, why did the emperor test him like this, although he was dissatisfied, he did not show it, and said lightly: "Zhong Guifei's talent may be above Lu Guifei, but she has never shown that she is proficient in this way on any occasion, but Lu Guifei was already quite famous before she entered the palace." ”
As soon as the words fell, all the ministers nodded with feelings, if the Lu family wanted to send her Lu Yanlan into the palace, I am afraid that the threshold for proposing marriage would be broken, and it was not that they had a son who had not thought about this matter, but when Lu Yanlan entered the palace, they did not dare to have other thoughts.
