Chapter 059: A Visit to Chongning Palace
The queen invited her to Chongning Palace, and Lu Qingtang was not surprised at all.
Although she didn't know what she was like, she learned from Concubine Shu that the queen didn't like to fight.
This can also explain why the power to take care of the harem that belongs to her will be in the hands of Concubine Ning.
But will a woman who has been in the deep palace for a long time really have no quarrel with the world?
But Lu Qingtang didn't think much about it, what she was thinking about now was to save enough money, take Su Mu to leave King Chen's Mansion, and leave Yanling, a place of deceit.
She can imagine that Mo Zeshen learned that his mother was left as a concubine by her, lost the power to manage the harem, and was grounded in the palace, at that time he was afraid that he would want to kill himself.
However, what should come will come.
Since she did it, she is not afraid of retaliation.
sat on the sedan chair, took Su Mu, and swaggered all the way to Chongning Palace.
This sedan chair was given by His Majesty early in the morning, which is convenient for Lu Qingtang to go out, and unlike the sedan chair next to it, it has an extra top on it, which can be used to shade the sun.
The sedan chair was also carried by a few little eunuchs arranged by the Internal Affairs Office, and they lived in Longqing Palace early in the morning, so that it was convenient for Lu Qingtang to go out at any time.
Not only that, when Lu Qingtang didn't wake up, Emperor Kang Yuan rewarded a bunch of supplements, and added a few palace people to the kitchen of Longqing Palace, as long as Lu Qingtang wanted to eat, he could make it at any time.
It can be seen that His Majesty cares about the child in Lu Qingtang's belly very much.
It's just that I don't know how terrible it would be if he knew that the child in his belly was not Mo Zeshen.
There was a chill down his spine, and Lu Qingtang didn't dare to think about it anymore.
When he arrived at Chongning Palace, with the support of Su Mu and Hu Yu, Lu Qingtang got off the sedan chair.
Seeing this, Mama Gao, who was guarding outside the palace gate, immediately greeted her, "The old slave asks Princess Chen to say goodbye, Princess Chen is invited soon, our mother has been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Walking into the main hall of Chongning Palace, Lu Qingtang almost thought that he had made a mistake.
She thought that Longqing Palace was thrifty enough, but she didn't expect that there was a place that was even more simple than Longqing Palace.
Looking up, the paint on the girders has peeled off, and some of them have revealed the original color of the girders.
Where is this where the queen lives, this is simply a cold palace.
Lu Qingtang couldn't help frowning, she looked at the sick queen mother who was not half angry, and saluted her, "My daughter-in-law has seen the queen mother." ”
"Okay, come and sit down." The queen mother forced a smile and beckoned to the palace people beside her, "Put the stool farther away, don't be sick to Princess Chen." ”
Lu Qingtang nodded, and sat down with Su Mu's support.
The stool under the buttocks was some distance from the bed, and the queen leaned on the bed and was looking at Lu Qingtang.
"I've already known about last night's events, so you're not scared, are you?" The queen looked concerned.
Lu Qingtang smiled, "Thank you for worrying about the queen, my daughter-in-law is fine." ”
This morning, the whole palace was speculating about what happened last night.
Concubine Ning, who was in the harem, was demoted to the position of concubine overnight, deprived of the right to take care of the harem, and was also grounded in the palace.
However, it was said to the outside world that she did not take good care of Lu Qingtang, causing her to fall into the water and almost lose her life.
This is just a trivial matter, after all, Lu Qingtang is still standing in front of people in a good manner.
Even if His Majesty took a fancy to the child in Lu Qingtang's belly, he would not be so angry.
Anyone with a little brain knows that this is not as simple as falling into the water, but I am afraid that there is another article in it.
As the real master of the harem, the queen should naturally know the truth about this matter.
But she has always been frail, and she doesn't bother to bother with so many things.
"It's okay, Princess Chen, you don't know, Your Majesty got down this morning, and the first thing he did was to inform the palace that you were pregnant with twins in your belly." The queen mother smiled from ear to ear, "This is a great joy in the Daheng Dynasty, and you will have endless blessings in the future." ”
Lu Qingtang tried hard to put a smile on his face, "Xie Niangniang praised, and her daughter-in-law was overjoyed." ”
She didn't like these polite words, but she had to say that this ancient was tired.
As she was talking, Mama Gao beckoned, and more than a dozen palace people rushed in with gifts or holding them.
"These are all gifts to congratulate you on being pregnant with twin sons, and this palace would like to thank Princess Chen for saving her life." The queen said, waving at Mama Gao.
Mama Gao nodded, clapped her hands and motioned for the palace people to open the box of gifts.
Lu Qingtang was embarrassed now, although he said, "Niangniang, you are too polite", his ass had already left the chair and got up and walked towards those gifts.
"Princess Chen, this pair of jade jade ruyi is carved from a whole piece of Hetian jade, which can bless you and the twins in your belly with peace and prosperity, and all the best." Mama Gao pointed at Yu Ruyi and said with a smile.
This is a pair of emerald green jade ruyi with a full body of shine, with a high quality texture and exquisite carving craftsmanship.
If you take it out, you should be able to get a lot of money.
Lu Qingtang was thinking about it, and saw Mama Gao pick up a silk fan, "Princess Chen, the fan is made of silk technology, and the handle of the fan is made of ivory, and it is just right to fan the wind in hot weather." Our mother deliberately chose a pomegranate pattern, with many pomegranate seeds, implying Princess Chen and King Chen's hundreds of sons and grandchildren. ”
Lu Qingtang took the fan, although he didn't like the meaning of this pomegranate, but he especially liked this silk technique.
This is our unique luxury in China, and it is more expensive than those cool Ground Prada.
"Wow, that's exquisite, it's so beautiful." Lu Qingtang held the fan and fanned himself.
Although I have seen the silk fan of the Bogu Pavilion before, the feeling of holding it in my hand is different.
Mama Gao introduced other gifts to her, including pearl necklaces, various colored gemstones, gold, silver and jade jewelry, and various supplements, which dazzled people.
After the introduction, Lu Qingtang thanked the queen mother, and ordered Hu Yu to send these gifts back to Longqing Palace, and she stayed to accompany the queen mother to lunch.
In order to take care of Lu Qingtang's taste, the queen's kitchen added many salty dishes, such as sauce-flavored elbow, braised lion's head, fish soup and tofu.
After dinner, the queen wanted to take a lunch break, and Lu Qingtang had to go back to sleep for a while, so she left Chongning Palace.
It was the beginning of the day, when the summer was the hottest, even Lu Qingtang was sweating when he sat in a sedan chair with a roof, not to mention these eunuchs wearing robes.
Seeing that he was about to return to Longqing Palace, when he walked into the imperial garden, a few figures appeared on the side of the road, and the person led by Lu Qingtang recognized it at a glance.
This person is Concubine Ning's precious son, the virtuous king Mo Zeqing.
It's just that the original owner is not familiar with him.
However, as far as she knows, Mo Zeqing is a well-known humble gentleman, who treats anyone politely, and compared to Mo Zeshen, he is simply a god in the sky.
Just as he was passing by Mo Zeqing's side, Lu Qingtang raised his face high and pretended not to see it.
He has never entered the palace, Concubine Ning was grounded last night, and today he entered the palace for what it is, which is self-evident.
If you don't go home to rest at noon, can you still run to the side of the road to bask in the sun, he must have come to block Lu Qingtang's way.
