Chapter 36: Concubine Jing thanks
The emperor went to the Qingren Palace of the concubine that night.
This is also understandable, after all, the eldest princess fell into the water today, and it is reasonable for the emperor to go to Qingren Palace today.
It's just that the people who know about today's affairs in Linglong Pavilion are still disappointed, the master has shown his face in front of the emperor several times, and the emperor has not come to Linglong Pavilion, so the master should not be unfavored, right?
Others are just muttering in their hearts, but Zhou Man's heart is like a fire burning again, he was in order to be able to come to Linglong Pavilion to serve, but all the silver he has saved in the palace over the years has been stuffed into Gonggong Qiu of the Inner Servant Province, if Lu Meiren is not favored in the future, then his silver will soon be in vain?
Zhou Manman was anxious, but there was no way, it was too late for him to regret it now, so he could only pray to God for the sake of his sincerity, so that the emperor would have a little favor for Lu Meiren.
Although the matter of the eldest princess falling into the water was just an accident, but a group of slaves who served the eldest princess were still disposed of by Concubine Jing, Concubine Jing changed the people who served the eldest princess all over again, and when she asked the queen mother to say goodbye in the morning, she was taught a few words by the queen mother.
"Concubine Jing, you are the mother of the eldest princess, and you will have to treat the eldest princess more in the future, if it wasn't for Lu Meiren meeting her yesterday, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Concubine Jing gritted her teeth and admitted her mistake, "What the queen mother said is that the concubine did not take good care of the eldest princess. ”
The queen nodded and said, "I think that after yesterday's incident, you have also learned a lesson, if the eldest princess does not have a competent person around to serve, go back to the palace to help you assign two people." ”
How could Concubine Jing let the queen send people into Qingren Palace and send them to the eldest princess in such an open and honest manner, she hurriedly refused when she heard this: "The concubine thanked the queen for her concern, and the stupid concubines around Yun'er who did not act were disposed of yesterday, and now they have been replaced by a few clever and sensible ones, so they won't bother the queen mother." ”
The queen was not annoyed when she was rejected, and said very majestically: "Concubine Jing, since you have already disposed of the arrangements, then the palace will not interfere, but since the eldest princess calls the palace a queen mother, then the palace will be right to call the queen mother, if the next time the eldest princess has such a thing, Concubine Jing, don't blame the palace for taking you as a concubine." ”
Concubine Jing could only reply: "Yes, Queen Mother." ”
After the invitation was over, Concubine Jing's face was very unsightly, and the low-ranking concubines were afraid that Concubine Jing would spill her anger on them, so they all walked around Concubine Jing one by one after the invitation was over.
Lu Yuning naturally wouldn't come in front of her, but she didn't expect Concubine Jing to walk in front of her by herself.
The surrounding concubines were a little far away from Lu Yuning, standing next to them and preparing to watch the excitement.
"Concubine Jingniang?" Lu Yuning saw that people were standing in front of her for a long time and didn't speak, so she couldn't help but speak in doubt.
"Ahem!" Concubine Jing coughed dryly and said loudly: "Thank you for yesterday's incident." ”
Although the tone was very blunt, it was also a thank you, not to find fault, Lu Yuning smiled and said, "Concubine Jing is polite." ”
"I owe you a favor for this matter, and I will find a chance to pay it back to you in the future." After Concubine Jing finished speaking, she turned around and walked away.
The people who were waiting to see the excitement saw that there was no excitement to see, and they all left one by one.
Qingzhi whispered to Lu Yuning: "I didn't expect Concubine Jing to thank you in front of so many people." ”
Lu Yuning smiled and shook his head, "I didn't expect it either." She thought that it would be good if Concubine Jing didn't find fault with her in the future.
But Concubine Jing is also a wise move to do this, everyone knows that she saved the eldest princess, and now Concubine Jing thanked her and said that she owed her a favor, everyone will only think that Concubine Jing has clear grievances and can be paid.
If the emperor knew about this, he would definitely be satisfied with Concubine Jing's actions.
Leaving from the gate of Fengyi Palace, Qingzhi asked Lu Yuning: "The master didn't reward the lotus yesterday, can he go again today?" ”
Lu Yuning thought about it and shook his head, "Forget it, let's go another day." ”
The lotus blooming period is from June to August, and there is no need to rush to enjoy the lotus.
Lu Yuning took Qingzhi and Qingdai to prepare to return to Linglong Pavilion, but after walking a few steps, she came across the red note beside Lu Guifei.
Lu Yuning stopped and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet the Red Paper Girl here by such a coincidence, where is the Red Paper Girl going?" ”
The red note curtsied and saluted Lu Yuning, and said, "The slave maid came here to wait for Lu Meiren on the order of the noble concubine Niangniang. ”
"What do you command?" Lu Yuning asked.
Hongzhi smiled and said: "It's a good thing, the emperor is going to Zhaoyang Palace for dinner at noon today, and the concubine Niangniang asked Lu Meiren to dress up and dress up, and wait for the emperor to eat in Zhaoyang Palace at noon." ”
"Really?" Lu Yuning asked with a look of surprise, and when she saw the red note nodding, she happily said to the red note: "I'm tired of the red note girl running this trip, I'll go back to clean up, and I'll go to Zhaoyang Palace as soon as I finish packing." ”
After speaking, Lu Yuning seemed to be a little impatient to take Qingzhi and Qingdai back to Linglong Pavilion.
Qingzhi and Qingdai were also very happy, and as soon as they returned to Linglong Pavilion, they chatted about what hairstyle to comb, what jewelry to wear, and what clothes to wear for Lu Yuning.
"Master, how about wearing that set of red clothes, you have fair skin, wearing this set of red clothes will make you look more delicate and lovely, if the emperor sees it, he will definitely like it." Qingzhi Road.
Qing Dai nodded, and continued: "The hairstyle is a simple Lingyun bun, decorated with golden hairpins and step shakes, it must look refreshing and extravagant." ”
After Lu Yuning finished speaking, she sat in front of the dressing table, nodded and said, "Just dress up according to what the two of you said." ”
Qingzhi and Qingdai were about to get started when they heard this, but Lu Yuning said again: "Qingdai will help me comb my hair first, Qingzhi, you go and process the apricots on the table and take a few almonds for me." ”
Apricots are considered seasonal fruits at this time, and each palace has received a lot, and a large plate has also been distributed in the Linglong Pavilion.
The fruits that can be sent to the palace are all selected by thousands of people, and the plate of apricots on the table is not only very pleasing in appearance, but also big and full, with orange and yellow skin, and the taste is even better, with a slight sour taste in the sweetness, which is the taste that most people like.
It's a pity that Lu Yuning was born with no sourness, and she can't accept that little bit of sourness.
Originally, she thought that she would reward this apricot with the palace people of Linglong Pavilion when she turned around, but she didn't expect to use it first.
Qingzhi and Qingdai were stunned for a moment, and Qingzhi asked, "Master, what do you want almonds for?" ”
"Eat." Lu Yuning said lightly.
