Chapter 379: The Lord Summons
If she was only jealous of the Jiang family before, from that night on, the seeds of hatred took root and sprouted in her heart.
The next day, she went to give tea to the Jiang family, who was the concubine, this was the first time she had close contact with the Jiang family, and she had to admit that she was so beautiful, the kind of beauty that seemed to not eat the fireworks in the world. Dignified, demure, with a faint fairy spirit, like a nine-day fairy who has fallen into the mortal dust.
With just one glance, the jealousy in Lu's heart increased a little. She lowered her eyes to hide the resentment in her eyes, and respectfully knelt on the ground and raised the teacup. The woman took it, but did not drink it, and sent her away without looking at her from the beginning to the end.
For the next few days, the man she had been thinking about never came. She met him and Jiang in the garden, and there was tenderness and infatuation in her eyes, but when her eyes turned to her, she became faint and detached.
She felt uneasy, if she continued like this, wouldn't she have to stay alone for the rest of her life? So she began to appear more often at the old princess's side.
Finally, on that rainy night, a drunken man broke into her room and pressed her under her without saying a word. At that moment, she burst into tears uncontrollably, but not because of the tearing pain, but because of the joy that she had finally become his woman.
After that day, she noticed that the relationship between Murong Jingzhong and the Jiang clan had undergone subtle changes. Although they were still as affectionate as before on the surface, Jiang's eyes were a little more indifferent and a little less tender. is also a woman, she naturally knows the Jiang family's state of mind. She knew it was time for her plan to begin.
Quietly sent his henchman back to Lufu to get medicine, not only the mysterious prescription, but also the flattering medicine that can make a man sink.
She revealed to the old princess that after a month of marriage, the prince only went to her room once. The old princess frowned, saying that this will not work, the Jiang family has not been out for three years, and now she is still pointing to her to open branches and leaves for the palace.
That night, she had waited for the man again. She knew how shrewd Murong Jingzhong was, and in order to prevent him from finding out, she used the medicine she put on herself.
This time, she let the man taste her goodness, she saw the amazement flashing in Murong Jingzhong's eyes, and also saw his always indifferent eyes slowly dyed with heat.
From that day on, Murong Jingzhong's attitude towards her was much better, and when he looked at her, he was no longer just indifferent, but also came to her room more often.
More than a month later, she was found to be pregnant. The old princess was so happy that she knelt in the Buddha hall for most of the day, just to ask the Buddha to bless her and the child in her belly.
Pregnant in October, a baby boy was born as scheduled, and the Bac Ninh royal palace was happy. The old princess was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, holding the baby in her arms and calling "good grandson" one after another, and even said that the prince would make this child the son of the world.
But the good times didn't last long, and before the child reached 100 days, the joy of giving birth to a son in the palace was diluted by another happy event - the concubine Jiang of Bac Ninh was happy!
This news undoubtedly smashed the Lu family like a huge thunderbolt, and the Jiang family, who had been married into the palace for four years and had not come out, was pregnant! She hated her carelessness, she knew that this was the case, and she should have found a way to make the Jiang family heir extinct earlier.
She began to look for every opportunity to get rid of the child in Jiang's womb, but she was only a small concubine in the Bac Ninh Palace, and the Jiang family lived in a simple place and raised the fetus carefully, so she had no idea where to start.
In this way, she watched Jiang's belly get bigger and bigger until the child was born.
The princess gave birth to a son, and the mother and son are safe!
When the son in law was born, Murong Jingzhong was even happier than when Murong Qi was born last year, and immediately announced that he would make this child the son, and even the old princess agreed again and again, completely forgetting her promise.
This news undoubtedly hit Lu's heart with a hammer, looking at her son who had just turned one year old in her arms, she secretly decided that she must snatch everything for herself and her child.
Everything seemed to go back to when the Lu family first entered the mansion, everyone's eyes were focused on the Jiang family's mother and son, and her small courtyard fell silent again.
She wouldn't allow that to happen, and she had to reinvent herself......
A knock on the door interrupted Lu's memories, and the door opened, and the two annoying maids entered.
"Princess, the prince is invited."
The maid poured hot water into the copper basin.
"Please freshen up the princess, and the steward is waiting outside."
Lu got up and sat down in front of the dressing table, letting the two maids groom her.
"Go and bring the new set of auspicious clouds and fine silk dresses made by this concubine." Lu Shi took out a colorful gem from the makeup box and shook it, let the maid insert it between his sideburns, and commanded.
The maid didn't answer, and went to the closet to find the clothes she wanted.
The crimson twelve broken immortal long skirt, covered with a peony pattern feather gauze robe, with beads on the head, and the swaying of the shining colorful light. Lu looked at the person in the bronze mirror with satisfaction, the years seemed to be extremely partial to her, and did not leave too many traces on her body, although she looked a little haggard these days, but under the cover of fat powder, she was still the graceful princess of Bac Ninh.
Stepping out of the main house, the steward stood in the courtyard with his eyes down, and he couldn't see the look on his face clearly in the moonlight, only hearing his cold voice.
"The princess is waiting for the princess, please come with the old slave quickly."
"Where is the prince now?"
Steward Xiang didn't stop: "The princess will know when she goes." ”
The Lu family was puzzled, but he knew that this auspicious steward was Murong Jingzhong's confidant, and he couldn't be offended, so he could only go to the soft sedan chair at the gate of the courtyard.
The sedan chair left the main courtyard slowly, and after more than a quarter of an hour, Lu lifted the sedan curtain and found that it was on the way to the backyard of the palace.
"Ah Xiang, where are you going to take this concubine?"
"Hasn't the princess been wanting to see the prince these days? The old slave will take you there. The unwavering voice of the auspicious steward sounded on the side of the sedan chair.
Lu couldn't help but panic. There are only a few small courtyards in the backyard that don't live all year round, why did Murong Jingzhong go there?
"It's getting late today, the concubine doesn't want to see the prince, send the concubine back!"
"The prince summoned him, how could the princess resist and disobey the order. The front will be there soon, and I ask the princess to be patient. ”
As soon as the Xiang steward's voice fell, Lu felt that the soft sedan chair had sped up, and the sedan chair man was almost running all the way.
After all, she has been a princess for more than ten years, and the Lu family saw that she couldn't get out, so she regained the momentum of the housewife of the Bac Ninh Palace, and sat firmly in the sedan chair.
After a while, the soft sedan finally stopped. Steward Xiang stepped forward and lifted the sedan curtain and said, "It's here, the princess, please get off the sedan chair." ”
Lu raised his eyes and saw a small courtyard in front of him. Despite the darkness of the night, you can still see the uneven grass growing in the courtyard. A large willow with a thick bosom was erected in the courtyard, and the willow branches were almost hanging to the ground because no one had pruned them.
The main room in the courtyard was lit, and a figure was reflected by candlelight on the mutilated window lattice.
