When the warm pot was brought to the table, Lu Yuning smiled and said to Luo Chengjing: "The concubine suddenly wanted to eat the warm pot at noon today, so she let the dining room do it, and the emperor will taste it?" ”

Luo Cheng nodded, with a joke in his tone, "Concubine Ai has always been able to eat, and I followed Concubine Ai to your Linglong Pavilion today, which can be regarded as a blessing." ”

Lu Yuning smiled embarrassedly, but said in his mouth: "Actually, eating a warm pot like this is not enjoyable." ”

Luo Chengjing was curious, "Oh, how do you eat it?" ”

Lu Yuning said with a yearning face: "It's best to have a heavy snowy day, and the snow has already fallen a thick layer on the ground, at this time, put a burning warm charcoal basin in the pavilion, and put a steaming warm pot on the table."

"There are curtains around the pavilion to block the wind, and the curtains are half-rolled up, and when you sit in the pavilion, you can just see the red plum trees and trees full of snow outside the pavilion."

"Warm a pot of wine, while eating a hot warm pot, you can also drink and enjoy plum blossoms, I think it's a great enjoyment of life."

Luo Chengjing imagined the scene described by Lu Yuning, and I have to say that it is indeed beautiful.

So, he said, "When it snows heavily next time, I will help Concubine Ai fulfill this wish." ”

In addition to the Imperial Garden, there is also a plum forest in the southeast corner of the palace, which is full of red plums, and there is an octagonal pavilion in the middle of the plum forest.

In the Ruyi Pavilion, after Zheng Meiren knew that the emperor had gone to Linglong Pavilion for dinner, her fingers plucking the pipa strings paused, and then she continued to play half of the song just now.

I don't know if it's the reason for the upset, but the song that she was very familiar with in the second half was played by her in several places.

The masters of the other palaces in the harem also knew from different places that the emperor was originally enjoying the plum with Zheng Meiren, and did not want to meet Lu Meiren on the way, and finally Zheng Meiren returned to his palace alone, and Lu Meiren accompanied the emperor to appreciate the beauty, and the emperor also went to Linglong Pavilion with her for dinner.

After dinner, if there is no accident, the emperor will definitely stay in Linglong Pavilion.

In Qingren Palace, after Concubine Jing heard the news, she took a sip of tea in the cup without hurry, and then said lightly: "Lu Meiren is a good means." ”

Zheng Meiren actually suffered a loss in her hands so easily.

Su Juan, the eldest palace maid beside Concubine Jing, carefully observed Concubine Jing's face before she opened her mouth to express her opinion, "Niangniang, it seems that Zheng Meiren is not Lu Meiren's opponent, I am afraid it is not worth it for you to spend so much thought on her." ”

Concubine Jing smiled, "Do you think I intentionally or unintentionally helped Zheng Meiren and pulled Zheng Meiren to my side in order to fight with Lu Meiren?" ”

Su Juan blinked, a puzzled expression on her face.

Isn't that so? Her own mother and the concubine didn't deal with each other, and the concubine got her cousin into the palace, so her own mother naturally had to find a reliable helper.

And Zheng Meiren, who is the most favored among the newcomers and has nothing to rely on in the court and the harem, is obviously the most suitable candidate.

Su Juan has always thought so, but she didn't expect Zheng Meiren to lose to Lu Meiren for the first time today.

Concubine Jing shook her head, "You're wrong, I help Zheng Meiren everywhere not so that Zheng Meiren can fight with Lu Meiren, but for the sake of my family." ”

It was her father's intention to let her befriend Zheng Meiren and pull Zheng Meiren into their camp, and her father was not for Zheng Meiren herself, but for the Zheng family behind Zheng Meiren.

It's true that her father is a general, but raising the army costs the most money, even if the pensions of those soldiers and the pensions of the sacrificed sergeants are issued by the imperial court, but there are still many places for the army to spend money, not to mention the silver that is indispensable for human exchanges.

Their family is not like the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion, which has been meritorious for generations, and has the foundation saved by their ancestors to support.

Her father climbed all the way from a small soldier to the position of a general, and the family did not have much permanent property. The Zheng family is rich in Jiangnan, if the Zheng family can become their family's money bag, then her father will not have to worry about silver in the future.

Flying Feather Palace, Wen Zhaoyi's face flashed with a faint melancholy when she heard this, since the emperor's birthday banquet that day, it has been more than two months, but the emperor has never come to her Flying Feather Palace.

Thinking of the culprit who caused all this, Wen Zhaoyi's voice was filled with hatred, "Hasn't there been a letter from outside the palace yet?" ”

It's been so long since she's sent the letter, and counting the time spent on the way and the time her aunt sent someone to investigate, it's time to reply to the letter.

Han Lu shook her head and said, "Wait until tomorrow the slave maid will go to Gonggong Huang to ask." ”

Wen Zhaoyi nodded, "Stuff him with some silver." ”

On the second day, Hanlu came back with a well-stuffed purse and a letter in a short time.

Handing over the letter to Wen Zhaoyi, Han Lu complained to Wen Zhaoyi with some dissatisfaction: "It's also a coincidence, after the slave gave the silver, Gonggong Huang also happened to bring the letter into the palace." ”

"These eunuchs, all of them are things that have an eye for money." Wen Zhaoyi snorted coldly and opened the reply.

After reading the letter, Wen Zhaoyi felt a little unbelievable, that embroidery girl hiding needles in her shoes was really her own behavior, and it had nothing to do with other people?

Wen Zhaoyi read the letter again, and the handwriting was indeed her aunt's handwriting, and it was her aunt's handwritten reply.

So what the letter says is indeed true? The reason for breaking her favor was the sin that her aunt had done before.

Knowing this, Wen Zhaoyi's resentment towards her aunt deepened, because of her, she had suffered from the eyes and bullying of others since she was a child, and now she relied on her own ability to finally climb to the position where she would not be easily bullied, but because of the romantic debts she had caused before, her future was ruined.

Wen Zhaoyi's aunt was not redeemed by Wen Zhaoyi's father when she had promised a person for life, this person was the embroidery girl's brother, the embroidery girl's brother was a scholar with a little bit of money at the time, for Wen Zhaoyi's aunt was also a scattered family wealth, but Wen Zhaoyi's aunt later met Wen Zhaoyi and her father.

In order to live a better life, Wen Zhaoyi's aunt betrayed her agreement with Xiuniang's brother, and in order to prevent Xiuniang from pestering her and ruining her glory and wealth, she also spent money to let Xiuniang and her brother leave where they originally lived.

But what she didn't expect was that Xiuniang and her brother were driven out of the city after they encountered a robbery, Xiuniang and her brother broke his leg in order to protect Xiuniang, not to mention, the only coil on his body was snatched away.

In order to save her brother, the embroidery girl sold herself into the palace, and because she could embroider with one hand, she was assigned to the needlework bureau as an embroidery girl after entering the palace.
