Chapter Twenty-Six: Not Smart Enough
The queen sneered and said, "The losing concubine can pick out such a sister from the family and send it to the palace." Lu Meiren's face is really prominent in this harem, and I don't know if the emperor will choose Lu Meiren to sleep tonight? ”
Liuli glanced at the queen's face, and said thoughtfully: "No matter how beautiful Lu Meiren is, she is just a little beauty, and you really don't need to take her in your eyes." ”
The queen looked at the little caution on Liuli's face, shook her head and said: "This palace really won't put a beauty who is not favored in its eyes, but if the emperor goes to Linglong Pavilion tonight, then this palace can't help but put her in his eyes." ”
In the evening, Lu Yuning asked Zhou Man to go to the dining room to receive dinner.
After dinner, Lu Yuning walked around the small courtyard of Linglong Pavilion to eliminate food, and then leaned back on the chaise longue to study the incense recipe in the book.
Zhou Man saw that Lu Yuning didn't mean to bathe and change clothes at all, he walked around the courtyard twice in a little anxious, and then found Qingdai, who looked easier to talk, and asked, "Don't we need to prepare for Linglong Pavilion?" If the emperor comes up in a while, won't it be nice for the master to do this? ”
Qing Dai smiled and said, "The master said that the emperor will not come to our Linglong Pavilion tonight, you don't have to worry." ”
"Why?" Zhou Man asked with a sad face.
Qingdai shook her head, "That's what the master said, I don't know the specifics." ”
Qing Dai turned around and left after speaking, leaving Zhou Man in place tangled and uncomfortable, they eunuchs and palace maids who don't look forward to their master's favor, he has been looking forward to the beauty of Lu Lu for the first time in the past two days, and can be favored for a long time.
But now Qingdai told him to reassure him, saying that the emperor would definitely not come to Linglong Pavilion tonight, how could he rest assured?
Although Qing Dai said this, Zhou Man still did not give up, and he always paid attention to the movements of the palaces.
There was finally movement in the harem, and the emperor went to Zhilan Palace.
Zhou Man told Lu Yuning about this, and Lu Yuning was very calm.
But Lu Yuning can be so calm, Cui Jieyu can't be so calm, she has been waiting for the emperor since yesterday, and she is sure that she will definitely be the first to be favored, but who would have thought that the emperor went to Zhilan Palace.
When Lu Yuning had already fallen asleep, Cui Ru's heart seemed to be burning again, and she couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.
In fact, not only Cui Ru couldn't sleep, but among the few people who entered the palace, only Lu Yuning had a good night's sleep this night.
Therefore, on the second day, when Fengyi Palace asked for peace, whether it was Cui Ru or other concubines, even if they wore makeup on their faces, it was difficult to completely cover their dark circles.
Lu Yuning took his eyes off the faces of Cui Ru and the others, and took a look among the newcomers who had just entered the palace, but did not find Weng Jieyu, who was sleeping yesterday, and I didn't know if it was late, or if there was something else.
Lu Yuning was thinking that the queen mother was coming, and Lu Yuning was busy gathering her mind and following everyone to salute the queen mother.
After the queen called, Concubine Hui Mingsu's eyes swept around Weng Jieyu's empty seat, and said directly: "Yesterday's attention was on Lu Meiren, and I didn't pay much attention to Weng Jieyu, I wanted to take a good look at Weng Jieyu today, who knew that Weng Jieyu hadn't come here yet." ”
Wen Zhaoyi said: "Maybe Weng Jieyu worked hard yesterday, so she delayed asking the queen to say goodbye." ”
Xu Jieyu snorted coldly and said, "It's like who hasn't served in bed, how can others say hello to the queen on time when they are in bed, but she is late." ”
"Maybe Weng Jieyu is particularly liked by the emperor." Wen Zhaoyi is still gentle and gentle.
Xu Jieyu said disdainfully: "No matter how you say that she is late to the queen's mother, it is her fault, this is disrespectful to the queen's mother." ”
Wen Zhaoyi shook her head with a smile on her face, and said, "Sister Xu doesn't need to be so strict with the sisters who have just entered the palace, Weng Jieyu was the first time to go to bed last night, I remember that when Sister Xu went to bed for the first time, wasn't she also late when she asked the queen mother to say goodbye on the second day?" ”
Xu Jieyu looked at Wen Zhaoyi and sneered, "I don't know what happened to you to Weng Jieyu to let you defend her like this?" ”
Wen Zhaoyi said: "My sister has wronged my sister, and my sister is just telling the truth." ”
Cui Ru couldn't help but want to open her mouth a few times, but she still had a little brain, and it was really not suitable for a newcomer to open her mouth as soon as she entered the palace in such a scene.
The queen waited until the quarrel between Wen Zhaoyi and Xu Jieyu was over, and then slowly spoke: "The emperor has already asked someone to send a message to the palace just now, Weng Jieyu worked hard last night, and today Weng Jieyu is exempted from asking for peace." ”
The queen's words fell, and the jealousy on everyone's faces could no longer be hidden.
Cui Ru's hand hidden in her sleeve was clenched into a fist, and her trimmed round nails sank deep into her palm, but she didn't seem to feel pain.
Originally, everyone had already thought about making trouble against Weng Jieyu before asking for peace today, but Weng Jieyu didn't come to ask for peace, and everyone could only hold back even if they were jealous.
Everyone absentmindedly accompanied the queen mother to talk for a while, and after the queen mother waved everyone to disperse, everyone walked out of the gate of Fengyi Palace one after another.
After Lu Yuning came out, she heard someone muttering in a low voice: "The queen mother is really good-tempered, it is okay if the concubine does not come to ask for peace, and a Jieyu who has just entered the palace dares not to come to the queen mother to say goodbye to the emperor." ”
Lu Yuning glanced at it, and it was Concubine Hui who spoke.
Lu Yuning turned her head and glanced at the plaque of Fengyi Palace, thinking that this is the door of Fengyi Palace, did Concubine Hui say such things here specifically to the queen's mother?
For Weng Jieyu did not come to the queen today, Lu Yuning was both surprised and not surprised, she and Weng Jieyu also lived together in Chuxiu Palace for a month, Weng Jieyu is a noble and proud person, and she easily does not take ordinary people in her eyes, and always feels that she is the only woman in the sky who is the most talented and smart, and everyone else is a vulgar person.
But after serving for a bed, he didn't come to say hello to the queen, but he was really a little not smart enough, even if the emperor opened his mouth, the queen didn't show displeasure on her face, but only the queen herself knew what the queen thought in her heart.
It is really not a wise move to offend the queen mother as soon as she enters the palace, but the honor guard of the harem concubines has always been the favor of the emperor, if Weng Jieyu can always be favored and let the emperor always support her, then she will naturally not be afraid of offending the queen.
It's just that Weng Jieyu can do it?
It's hard to say whether Weng Jieyu can be a long-lasting pet for the time being, but the emperor did go to Zhilan Palace every night for the next five days.
