"Why does Sister Zhuang keep staring at the queen?"

Lu Yuning was thinking about it, and the concubine on the opposite side opened her mouth with some yin and yang weirdness.

Lu Yuning glanced at the concubine, smiled lightly, and said, "Sister, I just think that the queen's complexion is exceptionally good, so I can't help but look at it twice." ”

After speaking, Lu Yuning turned his head to the queen and said, "Please also ask the queen to forgive the concubine for offending." ”

The queen smiled and waved her hand, and said, "Concubine Zhuang doesn't have to be so careful, how can this palace be the kind of person who is cautious." ”

Lu Yuning said with a smile: "The queen mother is naturally the most lenient. ”

The concubine saw that the queen not only did not attack Lu Yuning, but was also very happy because of Lu Yuning's words, and she was a little unwilling in her heart, but she could only keep her mouth shut.

After inviting the queen mother to come out, Lu Yuning took Qingzhi to Linglong Pavilion, Zhou Cai's position was low, and he waited until the other high-ranking concubines left before catching up with Lu Yuning from behind.

"Concubine Zhuang, the weather is good today, do you want to go and sit in the imperial garden?"

It's already autumn, and the weather is getting colder and colder, but there is no wind today, so it's not very cold.

Lu Yuning smiled and said, "Then let's go sit together." ”

The two walked slowly towards the imperial garden, talking as they walked, mainly because Zhou Cairen said that Lu Yuning listened.

"Niangniang, you are now a concubine, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to live in Linglong Pavilion anymore, the emperor should let Niangniang move the palace soon, right?"

The concubine can already live in the main hall of the first palace, and Lu Yuning has been promoted to Zhuang Concubine, and there is no reason to still live in Linglong Pavilion.

Lu Yuning said with a smile: "Actually, Linglong Pavilion is also very good, I am used to living in it, if I really move away, I am quite reluctant." ”

"Although Linglong Pavilion is good, it is a little smaller, and it is too far away from the emperor's Jianzhang Palace." Zhou Cai is humane.

Lu Yuning didn't speak, Linglong Pavilion was a little smaller, but she was the only master, and she could live there.

As for the fact that it is too far from Jianzhang Palace, Lu Yuning also feels that there is nothing, if the emperor has a heart, then this distance is nothing to the emperor, but if the emperor is unintentional, even if she lives in front of the emperor, the emperor is afraid that he can turn a blind eye.

However, these Lu Yuning also thought about it, the palace must be moved, but I don't know where the emperor will let it move.

There are four palaces suitable for her position that are now vacant in the harem, namely Changxin Palace, Taikang Palace, Ruichang Palace and Biyun Palace.

Among them, although the palace of Changxin Palace is large, the location is not good, the location of the two palaces of Ruichang Palace and Taikang Palace is about the same, it is very close to Jianzhang Palace, and it is also in the middle of the whole palace.

However, Ruichang Palace is much larger than Taikang Palace, and it may be as big as two Taikang Palaces.

The location of Biyun Palace is OK, and the area is not too big or small.

Therefore, in comparison, Ruichang Palace is the best in all aspects, Taikang Palace and Changxin Palace have their own advantages and disadvantages, and Biyun Palace is not outstanding in all aspects, nor is it too bad.

If Lu Yuning was to choose, she felt that Biyun Palace was the most suitable palace for her now, and it was also the palace that the emperor was most likely to order her to move into.

Zhou Cairen also had her own selfish intentions when she mentioned Lu Yuning's move to the palace, and she wanted to move to a palace with Lu Yuning.

Seeing that Lu Yuning didn't open his mouth after listening to her words, Zhou Cairen couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

But she didn't show it, but talked to Lu Yuning about the queen's birthday.

"In a few days, it will be the queen's birthday, what has the queen prepared to be the queen's birthday?" Zhou Cairen said with some sorrow: "The concubine originally wanted to embroider a kang screen for the queen's mother at the beginning, and the kang screen concubines were almost finished, but the concubine later heard that Du Cairen also embroidered the kang screen to give to the queen's mother." ”

Du Cairen was the same group of show girls who entered the palace with Lu Yuning more than two years ago, but Du Cairen seemed to have only slept once or twice after entering the palace, and he never stirred up waves after that.

If it weren't for Zhou Cairen mentioning it at this time, Lu Yuning would have forgotten about this person, but she hadn't heard of Du Cairen's embroidery before, and it seemed that Zhou Cairen's news was more well-informed than she thought.

Zhou Cairen continued to say, "Du Cairen's embroidery work can't even be compared with the embroidery girl in the palace, although the concubine's embroidery skills can, but if you compare it with Du Cairen, there is no place to throw it, so the concubine doesn't know what to give to the queen as a birthday gift." ”

Lu Yuning smiled and said, "My female celebrity is not very good, so I can only send it to the vulgar." ”

Lu Yuning chose a pair of plum vases painted with peonies to prepare to give to the queen, this pair of plum vases is very brightly colored, it is a relatively rare treasure nowadays, and it can be regarded as a birthday gift for the queen.

After hearing this, Zhou Cairen thought for a while and said, "After the concubine goes back, she will also go to the library to pick and choose, and choose two valuable things for the queen mother as a birthday gift." ”

After saying this, Zhou Cairen remembered what happened when she asked for peace just now, she first looked around and saw that there was no one else, and then asked Lu Yuning: "Niangniang stared at the queen mother for a while, did you also find that the queen mother has lost weight recently?" ”

Lu Yuning nodded and said, "Yes, the queen looks so thin, but her complexion is better than before." ”

Zhou Cairen lowered his voice and said to Lu Yuning: "The concubine noticed it a few days ago, and the concubine was curious at that time and asked the people around her to inquire, the queen seems to have a bad appetite recently, and she can only use a few mouthfuls of food every day, but the queen mother will insist on using a blood bird's nest every day, which may be the reason why the queen mother is losing weight, but her face is getting better and better." ”

How could Lu Yuning not hear the meaning of Zhou Cairen's words, Zhou Cairen wanted to tell herself that she suspected that there might be something wrong with the blood bird's nest that the queen mother took every day.

It's just that Lu Yuning didn't want to express her opinion on this matter, so she pretended not to hear the meaning of Zhou Cairen's words and smiled, "Maybe." ”

After Zhou Cairen heard Lu Yuning's perfunctory words, he stopped speaking for a while.

She has been friends with Lu Yuning for so long, it can be said that Lu Yuning is the closest person in the palace, she sees that Lu Yuning never puts a favorite concubine in front of her on weekdays, and she is willing to talk to her and share the good things she gets with her.

So she thought that Lu Yuning had regarded her as a sister who could be friends, but at this time she realized that Lu Yuning did not trust her as much as she thought.

This discovery somewhat discouraged Zhou Cairen.
