When Zhao Peiyu returned to the palace today, she was also surprised when she heard Rongfu's father-in-law talk about the concubine of the Lu family.

Zhao Peiyu just went out of the palace to buy rouge with a few ladies, but unexpectedly, such a major event happened in the palace as soon as she returned to the palace.

"Did Concubine Mei say anything?" Zhao Peiyu asked curiously.

Lu Huiling was named a concubine, and in her opinion, the biggest threat to her was Concubine Mei.

In fact, Zhao Peiyu was not too surprised when Lu Huiling entered the palace as a female official in the Qinzheng Palace, that day on the Mingtai, she recognized that it was Lu Huiling, she had never seen Empress Mingxian before.

At that time, when the emperor saw Lu Huiling, his eyes were full of light, and he involuntarily stepped forward.

Zhao Peiyu felt strange, although Lu Huiling was young and beautiful, she was a leader among the ladies of the official family, and ordinary men were just distracted and depressed, who is the emperor, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, which concubine is not a stunning and outstanding woman when she pulls it out?

Later, because he felt strange, he also asked the old man Rong Fu in the palace, he had served in the palace of Empress Mingxian, Rong Fu looked at Lu Huiling from a distance a few times, and said that she seemed to have a posture of Empress Mingxian between her eyebrows and eyes.

Zhao Peiyu suddenly realized that on the Mingtai that day, the emperor missed Empress Mingxian, so he mistakenly regarded Lu Huiling as Empress Mingxian.

So Zhao Peiyu felt that it was not strange that the emperor would leave Lu Huiling in the palace, the whole world is like the emperor's land, the emperor is the lord of the world, what do you want to have, he misses Empress Mingxian, and wants to put Lu Huiling by his side to satisfy his longing, which is normal.

Since Lu Huiling has been working as an errand in the Qinzheng Palace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not loved by the emperor, Zhao Peiyu, who is the crown princess, is also inconvenient to go to chatter, and the court has been busy with official affairs recently, and even the prince Qi Jingyang is too busy to spend, let alone the emperor, I heard that even Concubine Mei and the princess are not seen, how can I see her.

I thought it would be over, but who knew that as soon as I returned to the palace today, I heard that Lu Huiling was named Concubine Ming's mother, which really surprised Zhao Peiyu.

In her opinion, no matter how much the emperor misses Empress Mingxian, he will not do anything too excessive, and now he hurriedly canonized Lu Huiling, thinking that something irreversible has happened.

Zhao Peiyu felt incredible just thinking about it.

Rongfu's father-in-law shook his head: "What can Concubine Mei say, I went to the Qinzheng Palace, and the emperor promoted her to Concubine Mei, which is no different from before, but it is just a strategy to appease." ”

Zhao Peiyu pursed her lips, she didn't care what Mei Guifei could say, she was just worried that Mei Guifei would stumble Lu Huiling behind her back, not to mention anything else, Lu Huiling was the only good sister she could talk in Shangjing, so she naturally had to worry about it.

"Where does Concubine Ming live now?" Zhao Peiyu asked.

Zhao Peiyu thought that if there was nothing to do tomorrow, Lu Huiling would be able to have a stable place to live after today, and she would not have to wait next to the emperor of the Qinzheng Palace all day long, and it would be convenient to go to see her.

"Minghuatang." Rongfu's father-in-law said truthfully.

"Minghuatang?" Zhao Peiyu gasped, "That's not... Is it a place to enshrine the immortal soul of Empress Myeonghyun? ”

The allusion of Minghuatang makes Zhao Peiyu, the crown princess who has just married into the East Palace for three years, know.

It is rumored that the fairy soul of Empress Mingxian has not dispersed, Qianning Palace has always been the place where the queen of the middle palace lives, the emperor in order not to affect the next generation of emperors, can not bear to put the tablet incense altar in the Qianning Palace, then build a large number of buildings, establish a brilliant and beautiful Minghua Hall, just between the Qianning Palace and the Qinzheng Palace, the main hall enshrines the portrait of the Empress Mingxian, there is a pond of eight immortals in the courtyard, put a few koi, is for the living water.

Rong Fu nodded and said: "I removed the portrait and incense altar early, and now that Minghuatang is in charge, I think the emperor really regards Miss Lu as Empress Mingxian." ”

Zhao Peiyu was surprised, she really couldn't understand that Lu Huiling just failed to marry Qi Jingqin as she wished, why did she want to enter the palace to serve the emperor, and bury her lifelong happiness in this mighty imperial city.

Rong Fu was the crown princess Zhao Peiyu who passed by the gate of the East Palace, but now that he finished speaking, he retired in advance.

Zhao Peiyu waved her hand casually, looking like she was out of her mind.

Han Yao, the personal maid behind her, stepped forward and gently supported Zhao Peiyu, and Han Yao naturally heard clearly behind her what the crown princess and Rongfu's father-in-law said.

In the past, the crown princess Zhao Peiyu and the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion Lu Huiling were close, and Han Yao was naturally familiar with Miss Lu, in her memory, the eldest lady of the Lu family was an arrogant, domineering, and willful eldest lady, but now when she heard her father-in-law Rongfu talk about it, it seemed to have changed her temperament, which was really incredible.

"Han Yao, you say, what is this for?" Zhao Peiyu asked as she walked.

Zhao Peiyu is a female dependent, and does not participate in court affairs, Rao is now Qi Jingyang treats her not as badly as before, and it is impossible to tell her the conversation with Lu Gaohong, Zhao Peiyu naturally does not know that all this was arranged by Lu Gaohong of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Han Yao pouted and shook her head, her brows furrowed slightly, her eyes looked ahead with empty eyes, and she said: "The slave also thinks it is strange, the crown princess, you said that Miss Lu wants to have a good look, and a family background, as long as she releases her words, go to Beijing, oh no, and even the entire Celestial Empire, countless young talents flock to it, but she picks it, why bother......"

In Han Yao's eyes, although the emperor is the supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, he has some supreme rights and can give others supreme glory and wealth, but in the end, he is still old and frail, and he is no longer what he was back then.

Lu Huiling is young and beautiful, with power, status, status, and wealth, her father Lu Gaohong has everything, why bother to marry the old emperor?

Zhao Peiyu wouldn't blame Han Yao for being so unscrupulous, because she herself thought so, what did Lu Huiling want, how could she marry the emperor?

Who doesn't know, the emperor is now old and frail, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor can't live for a few years, is it worth exchanging a lifetime of happiness for a few years of favor?

"If you can't be Qi Jingqin's princess, you will be the emperor's concubine?" Zhao Peiyu shook her head, "This? Isn't it stupid? ”

Zhao Peiyu has a good relationship with Lu Huiling, so she naturally knows that she likes Qi Jingqin, although she doesn't support her in her heart, after all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Qi Jingqin are incompatible, and Lu Huiling is naturally a princeling, but after all, the love is just beginning, and the girl's heart can't be hidden.

Han Yao didn't care about these things, she accompanied Zhao Peiyu to marry into the East Palace, so she naturally had to consider Zhao Peiyu's affairs.

"Okay, princess, don't think about it, when the weather is cold, let's go back to the Crane Garden to wash up and rest." Han Yao said.

Zhao Peiyu couldn't figure it out: "Prepare a gift for me, tomorrow I will go to Minghua Hall to see the painting spirit." ”

"Yes." Han Yao knew that she couldn't suppress Zhao Peiyu's curiosity, but she still agreed to bless her body.

Seeing that he had been gone for a long time, the crane garden was close in front of him, and it was cold outside the house, so the master and servant hurriedly ran in.
