In the Jianzhang Palace, Luo Chengjing finished reading the last piece on the left hand side, and put it together with the stack that had been read on the right hand side, took a sip of the tea at hand, got up, and cleaned his hands under the service of Lian Yongwang.

Lian Yongwang handed the neatly folded handkerchief to Luo Chengjing with both hands, and saw that Luo Chengjing finished wiping his hands before asking: "Your Majesty, it's time for dinner, and the villain will let you pass the meal?" ”

Luo Chengjing threw the handkerchief that had wiped his hands to Lian Yongwang and nodded, "Pass it." ”

The imperial dining room has been preparing, and as soon as Jianzhang Palace said that the food was passed on, it didn't take long for the exquisite dishes to be placed in front of Luo Chengjing.

Luo Chengjing looked at the imperial meal on the table, and his mind suddenly flashed to Lu Yuning's hard work at yesterday's birthday banquet.

So, he ordered the osmanthus fish sticks and the mountain delicacies stewed crab meat on the table, and said to Lian Yongwang: "Send these two dishes to Lu Meiren." ”

Lian Yongwang was slightly stunned for a moment before he reacted and responded: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

After packing the two dishes in a rosewood food box, Lian Yongwang carried the food box and handed it to his apprentice Yuan En, and asked him to personally send it to Linglong Pavilion.

Although Lu Meiren is outstanding among the concubines who entered the palace this time, because of the concubine, the emperor does not like Lu Meiren very much, even Yongwang knows this, otherwise with Lu Meiren's appearance, how could he enter the palace for so long and only serve once?

Lian Yongwang didn't know why the emperor suddenly remembered to give Lu Meiren food, but in such a situation, Lu Meiren could still be remembered by the emperor, which was not ordinary.

When Yuan En carried the food box to Linglong Pavilion, Zhou Man had just brought Lu Yuning's meal back from the dining room, and it had not yet been placed on the table.

Hearing that the emperor had rewarded the food, several people in Linglong Pavilion were full of joy, Lu Yuning accepted the reward, and Zhou Manman sent Yuan En out of Linglong Pavilion with a courteous face, and stuffed Yuan En with a thick purse, just that he had worked hard to make a trip.

Yuan En smiled politely, and listened to Zhou Man's vague inquiry why the emperor suddenly gave food to Linglong Pavilion.

Yuan En stuffed his purse into his cuffs, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Zhou Xiaogong, don't worry, the emperor suddenly remembered Lu Meiren after seeing the meal, so he rewarded these two dishes." ”

As for why he thought of Lu Meiren, let alone him, his master didn't know.

Zhou Man was relieved when he heard this, as long as these two dishes had no other meaning, it would be a good thing for their Linglong Pavilion.

Zhou Man smiled again and thanked Yuan En, and after sending Yuan En away, he went into the house and told Lu Yuning about it.

Lu Yuning only said "um" after hearing this, and asked Qingzhi to set the meal.

Zhou Man looked at Lu Yuning's performance and asked hesitantly: "The master doesn't seem to be surprised that the emperor will give vegetables?" ”

Lu Yuning looked at the two dishes on the table that were full of color and aroma, and shook his head, "It's quite unexpected." She only thought that the emperor should come to Linglong Pavilion in the next few days, but she didn't expect the emperor to give her vegetables.

But doesn't that prove that what she did at yesterday's birthday party was useful? That's the good news.

The news that the emperor gave food to Linglong Pavilion was soon known to the various masters in the palace.

In Fengyi Palace, the queen's mind is all on the prince at this time, and she has heard about it.

In Zhaoyang Palace, when the concubine heard the news, she was even happier than Lu Yuning herself, and said with a smile and a red note: "It seems that my cousin still has some ability." ”

The red note saw that the concubine was happy, and said with a smile: "The slave maid is here to congratulate the mother first, and it will not be long before the mother's wish will come true." ”

The masters of the other palaces had different reactions when they heard this, some were envious, some were jealous, and some felt strange.

Qu Cairen in Yutang Zhai paused when he heard the news, and muttered: "It's really strange that the emperor actually gave food to Lu Meiren instead of Zheng Meiren." ”

Zheng Meiren can now be said to be the most favored in the entire harem, and the emperor rests with her for five days out of ten days, not to mention that they have entered the palace in the same batch, even among the old people such as Concubine Jing, there is no one more in the limelight than her.

If the emperor's food is sent to the Ruyi Pavilion today, then everyone will be sour at most, but if it is sent to the Linglong Pavilion, it will be a little difficult to figure it out.

Could it be that Lu Meiren has been in the palace for a few months, and the emperor finally discovered her beauty?

Zhou Cairen, who was dining with Qu Cairen, heard Qu Cairen's words and said with a smile: "I can't say, Lu Meiren is beautiful, the emperor liked it at the birthday banquet yesterday, and it is normal to give two dishes today." ”

Qu Cairen nodded, "It's normal, Lu Meiren's appearance is unique in this harem, but I don't know why the emperor was indifferent to her before?" ”

Zhou Cairen shook his head, "How can we guess the emperor's thoughts?" ”

"Yes." Qu Cairen nodded and said, "I just envy Lu Meiren's face, if I can have Lu Meiren's appearance, I don't have to worry about falling out of favor at any time." ”

Qu Cairen can be elected to the palace, and his appearance will not be bad no matter how he says, and he can even rank in the middle and upper middle among the concubines, but when he compares with Lu Yuning, it is not so prominent.

"Sister Qu doesn't have to worry about falling out of favor now, the emperor will always come to my sister a few times a month, don't say anything, sister, you are so lucky." Zhou Cairen sighed: "Whether it is Lu Meiren or Zheng Meiren, you don't need to envy Sister Qu, the most enviable person in this harem should be Sister Qu." ”

Hearing this, Qu Cairen lowered his head and gently stroked his lower abdomen, and laughed. Yes, compared with the other concubines in this harem, she is really lucky, she has only been in the palace for three months, and she is pregnant.

Although she hasn't seen a doctor to check her pulse, her menstrual affairs have always been normal, but this menstrual affairs have not come for a long time, and she has been very sleepy recently, and nine times out of ten she is pregnant.

If the one in her belly is a little prince, she won't have to worry about falling out of favor in the future, even if she doesn't have a little prince in her belly, but a little princess, just look at the current Concubine Jing and Concubine Hui to know that she will always have a little face in front of the emperor in the future.

However, now that she is pregnant, it is not suitable for people to know, she has to find a suitable opportunity to let everyone, especially the emperor, know that she is pregnant.

The opportunity that Qu Cairen saw was the emperor's birthday next month.

In fact, she intended to let everyone find out that she was pregnant at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet yesterday, but Zhou Cairen persuaded her, saying that she had just found out that she was pregnant now, and it was not suitable to say it with such fanfare, and it was more appropriate to wait until the fetus was stable.

She thought about it, anyway, the emperor's birthday is coming soon, if she is diagnosed as pregnant on the emperor's birthday, then the emperor will definitely be happy.
