"Ouch, look at this little mouth, you are quite clever, would you like to accompany this palace for lunch?" The queen asked with a slight smile.

Lu Xueyi slowly approached the queen mother, and it was not until she arrived that she suddenly realized that the queen mother was harmless and gentle from a distance, but when she walked up, she found that the kind of forbearance threat made people tremble.

Lu Xueling stood quietly behind the old lady, and when she saw Lu Xueyi getting close to the queen, she quietly bit her lip.

Aunt Qiao gave a seat because she was pregnant, and sat there quietly watching these people get along, smiling and nodding from time to time, but she did enough etiquette.

Everyone chatted in the room for a while, and Aunt Qiao adjusted her posture in her seat, in fact, because she was pregnant, she always felt that something was wrong when she sat there.

The old lady noticed his demeanor, and the queen mother naturally saw it too.

Aunt Qiao was a little embarrassed on her face, and slowly got up and bowed to the queen mother and said, "Queen Qi, the concubine wants to retire for the time being because she is a little unwell." ”

The queen mother knew that Aunt Qiao's body was heavy, so she naturally wouldn't embarrass her: "Okay, if you feel unwell, go back and rest quickly, if there is anything wrong, call the imperial doctor to treat you, you go back and rest." ”

Since the queen mother said so, Aunt Qiao naturally wouldn't stay for long, and hurriedly bowed and retired.

Lu Xueling also saluted when she saw the opportunity, and left with Aunt Qiao.

"Didn't you feel bad, so you came out with me." Aunt Qiao walked in front and asked softly.

Lu Xueling didn't speak, her heart was really uncomfortable, she was also her father's daughter, why did Lu Xueyi always get more care than her.

She ran hard to make herself better, and wanted her father to be proud when he mentioned her.

But no matter what she does, only Lu Xueyi will always be seen in her father's eyes, and she is ignored by her father again and again as if she does not exist.

Aunt Qiao understood Lu Xueling's feelings, and didn't make it clear to her, the two walked back slowly, passing by a garden and seeing that the scenery was beautiful, they walked in.

"Is this the legendary Imperial Garden? It feels so big and beautiful. Aunt Qiao walked in with a look of amazement.

Lu Xueling was not attracted by the flowers and plants in front of her, and quickly left the troubles in her heart behind.

No matter how much she complains, her father can't see her, no matter how hard she tries, she can't change her current state, so why bother herself.

The flowers and plants in the Imperial Garden are all rare varieties that can't be seen outside, and many flowers and plants have never even been seen by Aunt Qiao and Lu Xueling, let alone those that can't be named.

In the huge imperial garden, in addition to the flowers and plants are pavilions, there are actually rockery streams, and there are a few small birds chirping in the forest not far away, adding a bit of agility to this imperial garden. It's a small paradise!

The two of them watched while walking, and their mood naturally improved a lot.

I don't know how long it took, but someone at the entrance of the Imperial Garden was calling Aunt Qiao's maiden name.

A hint of joy flashed on Aunt Qiao's face, and Lu Xueling instantly understood that the person who called her should be her father.

Lu Xueling looked at the visitor with anticipation and slowly approached. Now that Lu Xueyi is not here, will Daddy be able to see her?

Master Lu came to Aunt Qiao's side with a concerned face, and asked, "It's windy today, why did you come here, and you don't tell your subordinates, so that I can find it." ”

Aunt Qiao approached Master Lu's arms with a shyly face, and explained: "The concubine sat at the queen's place for a long time, and her body was a little unwell, so she came out to relax, and when she came here, she found that the scenery was very beautiful, so she stayed for a while. ”

Master Lu didn't blame, and said: "In this case, let's hurry back to the room now, it's windy for a while, be careful of catching a cold." ”

Aunt Qiao hurriedly nodded obediently, and walked out of the imperial garden with Master Lu.

Lu Xueling stood in place in a daze, watching Master Lu pester Aunt Qiao and leave slowly, but she didn't react.

Her biological father didn't even want to give her a look when he saw her, and now he directly ignored her.

Isn't she the young lady of the Lu family? Even if it's just a concubine, she is also biological, why is her father so cruel to her?

Caiping stood quietly behind Lu Xueling, feeling distressed for her girl.

She has seen too many pictures like this, and her girl has suffered too much damage.

Lu Xueling stood quietly in the imperial garden, looking at the scenery of the spring garden, but her heart was desolate.

In a corner of the Imperial Garden, a girl in a long purple dress was bent over looking for something, muttering and calling.

"Snowball, come out, Snowball, where are you? Stop playing, get out of here, Snowball. "The appearance of a girl is delicate and handsome, and a long skirt shows a graceful figure.

The two little maids behind him were also anxiously looking for something.

"Miss, is Xueqiu going back to the queen's mother, should we go back and find out." A little maid reminded the girl.

The girl frowned in confusion, and her good-looking eyes flashed a hint of hesitation, this girl's name is Wu Yuzhu, and she is the pearl of Prime Minister Wu's palm.

This time the emperor has a big birthday, and there are not a few daughters of ministers who have entered the palace, but this Wu Yuzhu is deeply loved by the queen, and she actually lives in the side hall of the queen's palace.

"Xiaoyun, you go to the queen's palace to look for it, see if Xueqiu has gone back, I'll look for it here, Xing'er, you go to the place in front to look for it." Wu Yuzhu is a clever girl who has said everything she can think of.

It turned out that Wu Yuzhu brought a cat into the palace this time, this cat is called Xueqiu, which is her favorite thing.

But when Snowball came to a strange place, he couldn't help but be a little flustered, and he probably ran away at this time, and he didn't know where to hide.

Wu Yuzhu searched for a while but couldn't find it, and she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Lu Xueling was still immersed in grief, and suddenly felt that something was staring at her.

She looked back and saw a white cat staring at her with a pair of green eyes.

Just as she was about to exit to drive the cat away, the cat was frightened and suddenly pounced on her.

"Ahh Lu Xueling subconsciously screamed, and the color screen next to her hurriedly protected her.

"Miss, are you alright?" Cai Ping asked worriedly.

Lu Xueling felt that even a cat was bullying her, so she couldn't help but feel angry in her heart, pointed to the cat and said to Caiping: "Caiping, grab this beast for me and throw it into the river to drown." ”

Caiping knew that her girl was afraid of cats, so she obeyed the order and reached out to grab it.

The cat seemed to be frightened, and it didn't move when it was caught, and it was actually thrown into the pond next to it by the color screen.

Xing'er had just come here and witnessed this scene with her own eyes, and she was afraid that the other party would embarrass her, so she quickly hid in the corner.

Xing'er watched the snowball flutter in the water, and watched the snowball drown, so frightened that Xing'er covered her mouth and wept.

Lu Xueling watched the hateful cat fluttering in the water, and finally stopped moving, and felt a little better.

Xing'er didn't dare to go out, so she could only watch Lu Xueling leave with the color screen.

"Damn slut, you actually killed my snowball." Wu Yuzhu stood behind Xing'er with an angry face, watching her cat drown.

"Miss, that person is so hateful, so cruel to the lovely snowball, Miss, you can't let her go." Xing'er cried a handful of snot and tears, and begged repeatedly.

Wu Yuzhu glanced at Xing'er and said angrily: "Useless minion, seeing that Miss Ben's snowball is in danger, you don't know how to save it." That slut, Miss Ben, would never let her go. ”

Xiaoyun on the side hurriedly helped the stars on the ground up, and both of them looked at Wu Yuzhu silently, and they didn't dare to come out.

In the palace hall, many officials have already sat down, and a slight sound of discussion sounded in the hall.

Master Lu took the old lady and others to stand at the head of the hall, and on the other side stood Prime Minister Wu and his wife and daughter.

"The emperor has arrived, and the queen has arrived." A sharp eunuch's good voice sounded, and everyone knelt down and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, mother, thousand years old, thousand years old." ”

"Let's all be flat, there is no distinction between monarchs and ministers at today's banquet, everyone can just go home happy." The emperor was dressed in a dragon robe, and the emperor's aura was natural, which set off his majesty.

Everyone got up after thanking them.

The emperor sat down, and the queen sat down next, because it was the emperor's birthday, and the concubines had to wait until the dinner was over, and set up a banquet in the harem to have a banquet with the emperor.

Therefore, there can be no concubines in this court banquet, of course, the concubine who gave birth to the dragon son is equivalent to the side blessing of the officials and princes, and she is qualified to board the banquet.

Concubine Yue is the biological mother of the crown prince, and she naturally has a noble status, and she sits next to the queen, and the queen sits on the right hand side of the emperor. In order, there are some princes and princesses.

On the left hand side of the emperor sat Lord Lu and Mrs. Lu Xueyi, Aunt Qiao and Lu Xueling.

On the right side of the queen sat Prime Minister Wu Cheng and his family, and the ministers of the court and the central government all sat down in an orderly manner according to their official positions.

If you sit in the wrong seat in this kind of palace banquet, it is a great crime to kill your head, and everyone is extremely cautious.

If you look at the overall situation, you can see that the left and right sides of the emperor are two opposing situations, and everyone present knows it.

Master Lu got up and saluted respectfully to the emperor and said, "Weichen congratulates the emperor on his good life and health, and everything goes smoothly." ”

"Okay, thank you Lu Aiqing for your trouble, I accept your blessings." The emperor was overjoyed when he heard this.

With Master Lu taking the lead, everyone also got up and said all kinds of blessings to the emperor.

Shen Li was originally able to take advantage of Master Lu's scenery to have a trace of his own status on the emperor's birthday, but unfortunately, as soon as Aunt Qiao's matter came out, Master Lu saw that he was like a plague god, and Aunt Qiao was already pregnant, so he naturally avoided it.
