The mad concubine of the group loves the world

Chapter 221 Provoking Discord
Xiao Xi watched Chi Zheng and Li Ying leave, and then stopped for a while inside the gate of the side hall, listening to the conversation between the adults outside the gate and Eunuch Liu verbatim.

He deliberately suppressed his voice and detailed the details to his daughter, and what he said was full of indignation at the greedy son of Urenge.

Lu Wanlan almost laughed out loud when she saw how she was pouting and pouting angrily but didn't dare to speak loudly:

"What's the use of being angry here, the Holy One is not the one who makes the final decision?"

"Then, what if..."

Xiao Xi became anxious again when she heard this, and was about to speak when she heard footsteps coming from outside the door, so she quickly restrained her expression and stood to one side.

Not long after, the two court ladies pushed open the door of the side hall, and an elderly nun walked in from the outside.

"This old slave has seen Princess Yan, and she seems to be fine."

While speaking, the person has already moved to the front of the couch.

She smiled slightly, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes tightened, revealing a hint of shrewdness.

Lu Wanlan put her arm on Xiao Xi's hand and sat up slowly, raised her slightly closed phoenix eyes to meet her four eyes, instantly recognized that this was Nanny Liu who was beside the Queen Mother, and immediately coughed twice and replied:

"The Empress Dowager Lao is worried, and she brought the concubines here to rest. The nanny came here on purpose, but what orders does the empress have?"

Seeing that she didn't exchange many greetings and got straight to the point, Mammy Liu loosened the fine lines at the corners of her eyes, and said in a slow voice:
"The empress dowager is a kind old man. Seeing the concubine's injury makes her feel distressed. Fortunately, the imperial doctor replied that the concubine's injury is only skin trauma and it doesn't matter. So I sent this old servant to invite you to receive the reward."

"Okay." Lu Wanlan responded, stretched her body and lowered her eyelashes slightly, "Please let me change my clothes and make up."

Seeing that Nanny Liu had no objection, she exited the door and waited quietly.Lu Wanlan's complexion was instantly clouded.

The queen mother was too impatient, even if the emissary of the empress hospital said that she was fine, but seeing the pain all over her body, she should lie down and take care of her.

Now that I have just woken up, I am busy summoning him, obviously with ulterior motives.

It's useless to think too much, we still have to play by ear.

In less than half a cup of tea, Lu Wanlan was dressed and walked out of the side hall.

The maid at the door saw Princess Yan wearing a water-red iris brocade double-breasted gown, with a thin layer of powder and daisy, but there was a weak willow fufeng in her solemnity and magnificence, and she stopped to wipe the sweat on her forehead every two steps.

Presumably the wound on Wang Hao's body was in unbearable pain, so she didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly led her to the main hall.

Lu Wanlan stepped into the hall with Xiaoxi's support, feeling suffocating tension inside, she didn't dare to raise her head, she only glanced at the gorgeous and dazzling hem, and bowed to everyone present one by one:
"The concubine pays homage to the sage, the empress dowager, and the empress. If the concubine comes late due to illness, I ask the sage and the empress to punish him."

The Queen Mother did not speak.

Lu Wanlan just knelt like this, she still lowered her long eyelashes, and heard the emperor Xiao Jingyu whispering from above: "Give me a seat for free."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

She slowly got up and sat down in the rosewood teacher's chair beside her, her mind spinning rapidly to deal with it.

But before he could sit still, Xiao Jingyu got up and saluted the queen mother: "Mother, please talk to the queen, my son is going to the study to discuss matters with the old officials."

The queen mother nodded, and he walked out quickly.

Lu Wanlan followed the empress and all the palace people to send off the holy charioteer, and did not get up and sit back to the original place until the hem of the black uniform disappeared completely.

Queen Wang Xuening looked at Lu Wanlan twice, and broke the silence with a smile:

"Concubine Yan is really a heroine. Today is your blockbuster. Every move and style of this game shows the strength of old general Lu."

"The Empress's praise is ridiculous." Lu Wanlan felt that something was wrong when she praised her so much, so she saluted more cautiously.

"Hurry up and get rid of the courtesy, let's have a sip of tea first."

Queen Wang Xuening raised her sleeves and gave way, seeing that Lu Wanlan did not shirk, she looked at the queen mother with a smile on her lips:
"If you want to say that Princess Yan really has a heart! If she hadn't offered to be a substitute, with such excellent skills, how could the girls of our royal family have appeared in the round? Sister Xue Nong would have no chance to be selected as the princess. The relationship between the two countries is good, and I will do my best ~ so the mother must reward the princess generously, so that all relatives can follow her as an example."

As soon as the words were finished, Lu Wanlan's hand holding the teacup suddenly tightened.

The queen, the queen, told the queen mother inside and outside the words:
He was supposed to be the first to win the game, but he talked about him, and didn't save the game until the Wang family made a fool of themselves.It must have been expected early that Danba Qibu would be difficult to deal with, so it was intentional!
She is not begging for rewards for herself, she is clearly sowing discord!

But why did she deliberately get involved in the marriage?
Thinking back to Xiaoxi's revelation just now that Prince Urenge took the opportunity to blackmail, could it be that the empress dowager wants to pay the money herself?

If that's the case, instead of waiting for her to speak, it's better to be a good boy first.

Lu Wanlan stood up again with a pale face and bowed again:

"The empress praised it absurdly. It is the duty of a concubine to do her duty for the Great Zhou, and she dare not take credit for it. Regarding the matter of the marriage between the two states, the concubine only hopes that the Lu family can share the worries of the emperor and the queen mother. That is a big deal." Blessed."

Hearing her answer, Queen Wang Xuening blew on the tea soup and drank it lightly, without speaking.

The empress dowager, who was in charge, was already sullen and angry.

Today's polo plug really opened her eyes!

Especially Princess Yan!

Where is she weak?So much more than domineering?It's just a vicious mind!Great means!

Seeing her bowing her head, her etiquette is correct, her posture is already lowered into the dust, and no one can find any faults.

Just like the day when I donated tuition money for the chief secretaries, not only showed weakness everywhere, but also repeated the same tricks, and even used money to gag my own mouth!
How could the scheming Queen Dowager fall down twice in the same place?
"You can say this, it's considered intentional." She casually threw the teacup on the square table, but didn't let Lu Wanlan get up.

Thinking that this method would work, Lu Wanlan was about to get close again, but heard a faint sigh from the first one: "But the money is second."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Wanlan was puzzled:
The queen mother doesn't want money, so is it the idea of ​​her fighting for the territory of Tudanbu?
But those lands were all brought back by the soldiers of Liaodong with swords and guns, so how could they give them up because of the marriage?Moreover, it is not up to oneself.

Seeing Princess Yan's expression of embarrassment, the Empress Dowager smiled:
"You know that the war in Liaodong is tight. The cessation of war between the two states is the blessing of the country and the blessing of the people. If the son of Wulunge insists on taking the territory of the single department, the Holy One intends to let them use the Qianyuan Valley east of Yanbei In exchange, can your elder brother agree?"

After Lu Wanlan heard this, she was shocked and buried her head in her arms: "Empress Dowager, there is no king in the world. How dare the ministers and concubines discuss the important matters of the previous dynasty?"

The Empress Dowager laughed lightly: "It's not your turn to talk about the previous affairs, but since you are the head of the Lu family, how can you limit your elder brothers to the utmost?"

"This..." Lu Wanlan's forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Although the queen mother didn't express it clearly, she knew that the exchange and redrawing of the border between the two places had nothing to do with Da Zhou.Qianyuan Valley is adjacent to Yanbei, which is exactly what the Holy One and the Empress Dowager are eager to take back.

And the land that the eldest brother took with his soldiers is an important fortress for Liaodong. If the imperial court rashly gave it to others, it would definitely shake the morale of the army.

If the exchange of land was mentioned by himself, the elder brother would definitely protect her face and identity as the head of the Lu family, agree with the court's decision, and suppress the dispute among the generals.

This is to want to take the blame for their selfish desires!Back the accusations!
Lu Wanlan clenched her hands and forced a smile: "Your Majesty misunderstood, the concubine is the head of the family and can only manage the family affairs. The eldest brother is loyal to the country, and everything he does belongs to the state affairs, and the concubine can't do anything about it."

Seeing her toasting and refusing to eat fine wine, the Empress Dowager's expression became more and more unfathomable.

Thinking about the marriage of the girl from the Wang family is all thanks to the gift of Princess Yan, now it is rare to have the opportunity to gather land and rights, and it is up to her whether she is willing or not.

Then he took a cup of tea and sipped tea: "Think about it, go down and rest first. The Ai family is looking forward to the vegetarian feast tonight."
