Lu Gaohong returned to the mansion alone, and at that time, Mrs. Lu had already prepared dinner with someone, and waited with Lu Chen for their father and daughter to come back from the palace.

As soon as Lu Gaohong entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, Fang Lu greeted him with a smile: "The Prime Minister is back." ”

Lu Gaohong responded in a dull manner, and walked to the house in a dejected manner.

The smile on Fang Lu's face also froze, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, Xiangye and Miss entered the palace together, why was it that only Xiangye came back.

A dangerous thought came to Fang Lu's mind, and he ran up and asked, "Xiangye, Xiangye, where is Miss?" Didn't Miss come back from the palace? ”

Lu Gaohong didn't respond to him, and walked straight towards the dining room.

Mrs. Lu and Lu Chen were chatting about some happy and interesting things, and when they saw Lu Gaohong coming in, they both stood up and said with a smile: "Xiangye (Daddy) is back." ”

Lu Gaohong's face was solemn, without the slightest smile, they glanced at each other, and always felt that something was wrong.

Lu Gaohong sat in the middle, looking at their mother and son looking at each other, picked up the chopsticks and greeted: "Why are you stunned, let's eat quickly." ”

"Xiangye, what's going on?" Mrs. Lu asked with a worried face, "Did the emperor say anything about you?" ”

But I can't think of it, Lu Gaohong is dedicated to his duties, there have been frequent wars recently, although Lu Gaohong is not a military general, but he has also done a lot of things for the Celestial Empire, and he is also reviewing documents day and night, so that the state capital below can properly settle refugees, even if the emperor does not praise it, how can he still reprimand?

Lu Gaohong shook his head: "It's okay." Let's eat. ”

The more he said it was okay, the more they felt that something was wrong.

Lu Gaohong was also very bitter in his heart, he didn't know how to tell them about Lu Huiling being left in the palace.

"Where's my sister?" Lu Chen suddenly found out that Lu Huiling didn't come in with Lu Gaohong, thinking that she might have gone back to the backyard to change her clothes, after all, her foot was still injured, and she had to retake the medicine after walking for a long time, "Fang Lu, go to the backyard to find my sister to eat." ”

"This..."Fang Lu looked embarrassed, he knew that the young lady hadn't returned home, but looking at Lu Gaohong's expression, he didn't know what to say.

"No need." Lu Gaohong put down his chopsticks, looked at the door and said.

Lu Gaohong looked at them and said slowly: "In the future, Painted Spirits will not eat with us." ”

He tried to let them know this fact in plain words.

Mrs. Lu looked at Lu Gaohong with a surprised expression, the expression on her face changed from surprise to sadness, she opened her mouth and asked in disbelief: "For... Why? ”

Lu Gaohong pursed his lips and didn't speak, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and quickly ran to the backyard to find Lu Huiling, but he searched all over the backyard of the huge Prime Minister's Mansion, but he didn't see Lu Huiling.

Lu Chen panted and ran back to the front hall, along with Ning Xue, the servant girl who was waiting for Lu Huiling.

Lu Huiling didn't bring an entourage when she entered the palace, and after Ning Xue cleaned up the gauze under Lu Huiling's feet, she also prepared the flower mud for her face tonight.

Ning Xue couldn't wait for the young lady, but she waited for the young master who was in a hurry, and she followed the young master to the front hall.

Everyone present looked at Lu Gaohong and wanted to know what Lu Huiling had experienced in the palace.

But Lu Gaohong raised his eyes and saw Ning Xue, and only said lightly: "Tomorrow, Ning Xue will go to the account office to settle this month's monthly money, take the deed of sale and go home." ”

"Xiangye!" Ning Xue knelt down in horror, with tears in her eyes, she asked, "What did Ning Xue do wrong, Xiangye wants to drive Ning Xue out of the Xiangfu?" ”

Mrs. Lu felt that something was wrong, she looked at Lu Gaohong and asked, "What about the painted spirit?" What the hell is going on! ”

"Daddy! What the hell happened to my sister? Why do you say that she will not dine with us anymore, and that she will dismiss her sister's personal maidservant? Lu Chen also asked anxiously.

"Xiangye, please." Fang Lu looked at Lu Gaohong with a sad face, and pleaded bitterly.

Lu Gaohong didn't want to say it, but they would know sooner or later, so after thinking about it again, he looked up at them and said slowly: "Painting Spirit... The painting spirit was left in the palace by the emperor. ”

As soon as these words came out, it was like throwing a shocking boulder at the surface of a calm lake, and it set off terrifying waves in an instant.

"What?!" Mrs. Lu stood up in surprise first, she looked at Lu Gaohong in disbelief and asked, "Why?!" Did Emyeling become the emperor's concubine? That's his niece! ”

Mrs. Lu watched Lu Huiling grow up, she knew that Lu Huiling's eyebrows and eyes looked like the queen, and after the queen's death, she specially taught Lu Huiling to draw flat eyebrows, just so that the emperor would not see Lu Huiling who was very similar to Lu Fushuang one day.

But she never thought that after thousands of calculations, she still failed to let Lu Huiling marry a good family peacefully.

Mrs. Lu couldn't stop the grief in her heart, she understood how terrible the deep palace was, it was a huge melting pot, and it was impossible for those who entered it to come out unscathed.

"Lu Gaohong! That's our biological daughter, Lu Gaohong! Mrs. Lu was grief-stricken in her heart, and she didn't know where to vent her emotions, so she had to point at Lu Gaohong and scold, "Are you still human!" Watching his daughter ...... Why? Why don't you dissuade you? Why! ”

Lu Chen and Fang Lu were also stunned, they didn't know the reason for the incident, and they were all stunned when they heard the news that Lu Huiling was left in the palace.

Why was Lu Huiling left in the palace by the emperor?

They looked at the hysterical Mrs. Lu, and only stepped forward to support her, for fear that she would faint to the ground after being grief-stricken.

Ning Xue knelt on the ground, with an expression of disbelief, unable to say a word.

Recently, Miss has always dressed up like the first queen, and Xiang Ye also deliberately found a few portraits of the former queen to give to Miss, and secretly told her some inexplicable things. Ning Xue didn't ask much, but she didn't want Miss to be separated from her by a palace wall today.

"Eiling is not a concubine!" Lu Gaohong was already irritable in his heart, and his temper was even worse when Mrs. Lu made such a fuss, but he still patiently explained to them: "Hui Ling only stayed in the Qinzheng Palace as a female official, and did not become the emperor's concubine. ”

"Why do you want her to be a female official?" Mrs. Lu still didn't give up, and still asked, "Is there no one in the palace who can do it?" ”

"Enough!" Lu Gaohong looked at the hall that was now in a mess, and his heart was even more annoyed, he had no patience to explain these things to them.

As soon as Lu Gaohong lost his temper, they didn't dare to speak, so they just stayed where they were and looked at Lu Gaohong, their eyes full of grievances and uneasiness.

Things were like this, Lu Gaohong no longer had the heart to eat, turned around and brushed his sleeves away.

There were only a few of them left in the hall, and Mrs. Lu whimpered and cried, and Lu Chen stepped forward and patted her on the back as a comforter.

However, it was only a little more than an hour, and when night began to fall, the whole palace was secretly talking about the new female official of the Qinzheng Palace.

"Did you hear that? There is a new female official in the Qinzheng Palace. At the end of the meal, a palace maid opened the conversation like this.

"I heard about it, how could I not have heard of it. I was on an errand near the Qinzheng Palace, and I saw the female officer with my own eyes when I was weeding. ”

"Probably recognise who?"

"Who else could it be, the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion who danced on the war drums yesterday, Lu Huilingbei."

"Ouch, don't be mistaken, Miss Xiangfu, how can you say that she is also a relative of the emperor, although she is not a princess, she is also a golden branch and jade leaf, why do you still come to the palace to be a female official? Although she is a female official of the Diligent Palace, but, hahaha, this is not in line with her identity. ”

"That's it, in my opinion, if you enter the palace with this status, you should be a concubine if you don't become a queen, and now that Lu Cheng is in full swing, will the emperor still keep the eldest lady of the Lu family by his side as a female official?"

"Hey, don't say it, this Miss Lu family looks like the first queen..."
