Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Chapter 260 Dongchi Kingdom Mission

After the fourth princess was put down, she began to move around the tables, chairs and benches in the room, with the wet nurse and court ladies guarding her.

After moving a few steps, the fourth princess even wanted to let go and walk by herself.

Unexpectedly, after she let go, she just took a step and fell forward. Fortunately, the maid beside her was quick and quick to catch her.

Lu Wanning was afraid that the fourth princess would be frightened, so she hurriedly thought about going over to hug the fourth princess to comfort her, but the fourth princess seemed to be fine, and started walking again, leaning on the table and chairs.

Lu Wanning shook her head, "I don't know who she looks like, she's very bold."

Concubine Xian smiled and said: "The fourth princess is a royal princess, it's a good thing to be bold."

If she is a royal princess and still has a submissive temperament, she will be sorry for her status as a royal princess.

"That's right, it's good for the concubine to see the fourth princess like this." Concubine Kang also said.

The three of them were talking, and the fourth princess was playing around, and Concubine Kang's mood gradually improved.

It was almost dinner time when Lu Wanning took the fourth princess back to Ruichang Palace.

Not long after going back, Luo Chengjing came.

After Luo Chengjing entered the door and helped Lu Wanning who was about to salute, the first question he asked was: "What delicious food did Aifei's small kitchen make today?"

He was busy discussing matters with the minister at noon today, and he only had two bites in a hurry during lunch, and he was already a bit hungry at the moment.

Lu Wanning smiled and said, "The concubine asked the small kitchen to make fish fillets in milk sauce, baby pigeons fried in sauce, and spring bamboo shoots braised in oil."

These three dishes were ordered by her, and the rest were arranged by the small kitchen.

Lu Wanning was talking to Luo Chengjing, while Qingzhi had already hurriedly passed the meal to the small kitchen.

After Lu Wanning finished serving Luo Chengjing and sat down at the table, the food was already on the table.

The food in Lu Wanning's small kitchen has always been in the same taste as Luo Chengjing's, plus he didn't eat well at noon, Luo Chengjing accidentally ate too much at the moment.

After eating, Luo Chengjing dragged Lu Wanning to the Imperial Garden for a walk to clear up his appetite.

On the second day, when Lu Wanning woke up with a tired body, Luo Chengjing had already gone to court.

Lu Wanning was also used to it, she took the fourth princess to the Empress Dowager's birthday after she got up and washed.

However, from this day on, Luo Chengjing has been very busy for a while, spending almost every day in Jianzhang Palace alone.

Apart from delivering food twice, Lu Wanning didn't bother him too much.

In a blink of an eye, it was already May.

Lu Wanning sat in front of the window, flipping through the miscellaneous books in her hand, and eating the peeled lychee.

Lychees are sweet and are Lu Wanning's favorite fruit. A small dish of peeled lychees was eaten by Lu Wanning in no time.

"Qingzhi, peel some more lychees for me." Lu Wanning instructed Qingzhi.

Qingzhi persuaded: "Master, you will get angry if you eat too many lychees. You have already eaten a lot today, so you can't eat more."

Seeing Qingzhi's non-negotiable look, Lu Wanning sighed, "Oh, I'm a favorite concubine, and I don't even have the freedom to eat more lychees."

Qingzhi smiled helplessly, just as she was about to say something, Qingdai walked in from the outside and reported: "Master, the two ladies, Concubine Kang and Concubine Xian, are here."

After hearing this, Lu Wanning didn't want litchi anymore, and said to Qing Dai: "Please come in."

"Yes, master."

After Qing Dai went out, Concubine Xian and Concubine Kang came in after a while.

"I've seen my lady." Concubine Xian and Concubine Kang saluted Lu Wanning.

Lu Wanning smiled and said, "There's no need to be too polite, sit down quickly, why should we be so polite between us?"

Concubine Xian and Concubine Kang sat down on the chairs beside them.

As soon as Concubine Kang sat down, she said to Lu Wanning with a mysterious face: "Madam, have you heard that Dongchi Kingdom will have a mission to come to Dayong?"

It's not a secret either, the court has been busy receiving the Dongchi country's mission these few days.

Lu Wanning nodded and said, "Someone mentioned it a few days ago."

"Does your lady know what the reason for the embassy's visit to Dayong this time?" Concubine Kang asked again.

Lu Wanning smiled and said: "Dongchi Kingdom and our Dayong have always been on good terms, isn't this time a friendly exchange?"

Every few years, Dongchi Kingdom and Dayong will have another friendly exchange. Either Dayong sends a mission to Dongchi, or Dongchi sends a mission to Dayong. This is not unusual.

Concubine Kang shook her head and said, "Not this time."

Lu Wanning looked at Concubine Kang puzzledly, what was it?Is it possible that Dongchi Kingdom and Dayong have been friends for so many years, and now that Dongchi Kingdom sees Dayong and Xirong at war, they also want to tear up the friendly alliance with Dayong, and fight against each other?
But if this is the case, why does the Dongchi Kingdom send another mission to Dayong? Isn't it enough to send troops directly to Dayong?
Lu Wanning was still guessing, Concubine Kang lowered her voice to explain Lu Wanning's confusion: "I'm afraid that Dongchi Kingdom came to Dayong this time for the marriage between the two countries. the second princess."

"The second princess of Dongchi country has just turned seventeen this year, and she is beautiful and charming. She is a famous beauty in Dongchi country." Concubine Kang said.

At the age of 17, how young and lively, plus she looks beautiful, and her identity is the princess of Dongchi country, if she enters the palace, it will have a great impact on Lu Wanning, this is also the news that Concubine Kang received Immediately afterwards, I came to tell Lu Wanning the reason together with the concubine Xian.

After Lu Wanning knew the news in advance, she was able to make some countermeasures in advance.

Concubine Kang saw that Lu Wanning hadn't spoken for a long time, and continued: "But even if Dongchi Kingdom wants to get married, the two princesses don't necessarily have to enter the palace."

Lu Wanning smiled and shook her head, "If Dongchi Kingdom really came here with the idea of ​​marriage, then the princess must definitely enter the palace."

Because apart from entering the palace as a concubine, Dayong has no one else to match the princess of Shangdongchi Kingdom.

If the emperor had a grown-up prince, it would be fine for the prince to marry the princess of Dongchi country, but the third prince is only three years old this year.

If Mu Wang and Ning Wang were not married, they would be worthy of the princesses of Dongchi Kingdom, but they have already married the main concubines, the emperor can't let the princess of Dongchi Kingdom be the side concubine.

In that case, the people of Dongchi country would definitely not be willing.

However, what Lu Wanning was more curious about was where Concubine Kang got the news, probably no one in the harem knew about it.

Hearing Lu Wanning's question, Concubine Kang smiled and said, "There is a younger brother in my concubine's family who doesn't like reading and prefers to do business. He has been running back and forth between Dongchi and Dayong for the past few years. He wrote to my concubine about this. .”

Dongchi and Dayong have a good relationship, and the two countries have always been exchanging business.

"The concubine thinks that if the empress knows about this in advance, she will be able to figure it out when the time comes." Concubine Kang said.

Upon hearing this, Lu Wanning thanked Concubine Kang with a smile, "Thank you very much."

Concubine Kang said: "Your Majesty, why should you be polite? You take good care of your concubines and concubines and sisters on weekdays, and there is no concubine who can help your concubine. If this news can help you a little bit, this concubine will be very happy." .”
