Chapter 34
Kunning Hall.

Empress Lu, who had suffered from a headache for a few days, was sitting in the main seat at the moment. After listening to the reply from Aunt Qiu who was next to the noble concubine, she raised her eyebrows slightly, sipped her tea, and did not speak.

Ling Guifei raised her hand, signaling Aunt Qiu to step back first.

After only Empress Lu and her were left in the palace, Concubine Ling sat down.

"Is the empress's headache cured?"

Empress Lu smiled slightly.

"It's just an old illness, it's just a good life and will take care of it. These days, my sister has worked hard to take care of everything in the harem."

The noble concubine responded with a smile.

"The concubine is afraid, it is the concubine's blessing to be able to share the worries for the empress."

Even though the mothers of the two are relatives, the imperial concubine Ling has always maintained respect with Empress Lu, and has never surpassed the rules in front of her. This is one of the reasons why she can be favored by the emperor alone.

The imperial concubine Ling saw that Empress Lu looked good, and the smile on her face deepened.

"The queen's concubine has something to report."

"That day after King Yu took Princess Yu away in your palace, the concubine was worried for a while, and sent someone to follow King Yu all the way back to Prince Yu's mansion, but when he arrived at the gate of Prince Yu's mansion, he saw that Princess Yu got out of the carriage happily. I walked down by myself, without any dizziness, dare to play tricks in the Kunning Hall, will the Empress be punished?"

Empress Lu suffered from a headache for a few days, and no one was allowed to see her, so that the noble concubine did not dare to make decisions without authorization when she heard the news.

The day before yesterday, after hearing the news from the nanny next to Empress Lu, taking advantage of the emperor's dinner the day before yesterday, he proposed how to do the Qianqiu Banquet, issued an order yesterday, and passed on the oral order from Empress Lu to Princess Yu to Prince Yu's mansion at noon today.

At this moment, Empress Lu summoned her, and she immediately informed Empress Lu that Su Youning had pretended to be sick.

Empress Lu was not too surprised by Concubine Ling's words.

"I had expected it a long time ago. Such a boldness, I naturally want to ask the crime, but what if she said that she recovered in the carriage? Besides, it has been a few days, and it is impossible to ask the crime."

Concubine Ling nodded, but she was still a little angry.

"Then you let her go so easily?"

Empress Lu had a quiet smile on her face, she looked better today after a few days of recuperation.

"This palace has warned you many times, don't be impatient, and try the new tribute tea from Suzhou first."

After hearing this, Concubine Ling quickly sat down and sipped tea carefully.

Thinking of the oral order delivered by Aunt Qiu to Prince Yu's Mansion today, she couldn't help asking.

"Empress, the matter of arranging the performances of the noble ladies at the Qianqiu Banquet is so important, if you instruct your concubine to assign that errand to Su Youning, aren't you afraid that she will take this opportunity to make a big splash at the Qianqiu Banquet?"

She was originally an unknown Princess Yu, if this matter was done well, wouldn't it be a chance for her!
Empress Lu smiled slightly, showing off?
Not everyone can get the limelight, she naturally has her deep meaning.

Su Youning dared to play tricks in front of her, so naturally he wanted to make her suffer.

"If you want to be in the limelight at the Qianqiu Banquet, it depends on whether I am right or not. This arrangement of the Palace has its own deep meaning. You will naturally know it during the Qianqiu Banquet."

"How about Su Zhixing? Has there been news from the court?"

Empress Lu did not answer Ling Guifei's question directly.

The mention of Su Zhixing made the imperial concubine frown.

"I don't know why after repairing the book and returning to the Lu Mansion, things didn't make much progress. Su Zhixing hasn't been reprimanded by the emperor yet."

Empress Lu frowned, a Zuodu censor, could it be that even the prime minister can't touch him?
The imperial concubine made a guess.

"Empress, my concubine wonders if this girl knew we would have this move, so she asked Chu Yu to block her from behind?"

"Chu Yu's status is here, even if his legs are disabled, he has no real power, but if he speaks, many courtiers will still give him some face."

Queen Lu snorted coldly.

"Thin noodles? You still underestimate Chu Yu."

"If that girl can really think that this palace will touch Su Zhixing, I'm afraid she won't dare to make a mistake in Kunning Palace."

"The little Zuodu Yushi's daughter married into Prince Yu's Mansion for only a few days, and everyone said that she was not favored. I don't see this statement. It is the first time I enter the palace and dare to fool me in Kunning Palace. If it is not How dare she be so presumptuous with someone backing her up?"

The imperial concubine was very puzzled.

"The empress is saying that there is someone behind that girl?"

Empress Lu did not say anything.

She couldn't see the relationship between Yu and that girl.

If he said he didn't care, Chu Yu wouldn't come to Kunning Hall to meet her!
if you care
It has been almost half a day since her oral order arrived at Prince Yu's mansion today, so she naturally did not believe that Chu Yu could not guess the deep meaning of it, and she had not yet entered the palace to reject the order, and she was afraid that it would be the same for that girl.

"I'm writing a book about the court affairs, let's take a good look at who else is helping her behind the scenes."

Empress Lu said to her concubine Ling.

Concubine Ling nodded and chatted with Empress Lu with a smile.

"Empress, at the Qianqiu banquet, do you want to choose a favorite Gege for the prince?"

Empress Lu didn't respond, she picked up the teacup and took a sip, then asked.

"I don't have the time to worry about the prince's affairs anymore. The emperor has his own decision. But I remember that it's time for the Fourth Highness Chu Lian to choose the princess. Does my sister have a favorite woman?"

Empress Lu's words were obviously in line with Ling Guifei's wishes, and the smile on her face deepened.

"Qin Kexin, the eldest granddaughter of the Yong'an Hou Mansion in Kyoto, is a good woman with both talents and affection."

Empress Lu nodded slightly, her brows raised slightly.

"Yong'anhou's mansion has a good family background. If you are satisfied, then go ahead and do it, but you have to ask Miss Qin's opinion, and you must not force others to make things difficult."

The imperial concubine was overjoyed and stood up to salute.

"Thank you Queen Empress."

Empress Lu lowered her eyes to suppress the smile in her eyes.

Marquis Yong'an!
It will pave the way for my son!
Yu Wangfu.

Ze Lan waited outside the study room, listening to the occasional sounds of porcelain and jade being smashed in the study room, as well as Chu Yu's occasional angrily shouting "Su Youning", she couldn't help pacing back and forth in the courtyard.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, about half an hour passed.

Su Youning had just come out of Chu Yu's study, and Ze Lan noticed that there was an inexplicable smile on her face.

Ze Lan didn't salute Su Youning, but walked quickly into the study with a frown.

At this moment, Chu Yu was leaning on the back of the wheelchair, but her long and narrow phoenix eyes were tightly closed, with a look of anger on her face, her hands resting on the edge of the wheelchair and clenched her fists, presumably because she was very angry at Su Youning.

Zelan tiptoedly packed up the scattered debris in the study, and retreated out.

Chu Yu was very angry, but Su Youning was in a good mood.

Just now in Chu Yu's study, she cried, was pinched, and complained bitterly, and finally got Chu Yu's permission to return to the Su Mansion. She couldn't help but wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and walked out of the main courtyard quickly.

Jixiang Ruyi waited outside for a long while, and seeing her master come out, the two of them were finally relieved.

The three masters and servants didn't say much, they felt at ease seeing each other well, and walked towards Luoxue Pavilion together.

Su Youning was happy, but still a little strange.

Chu Yu mentioned who was behind the help of the Su family?

After thinking about it again and again, she still couldn't figure out who it was, Su Youning thought that she could only go back to the Su Mansion early tomorrow morning to inquire about the situation.

"Good luck, let's go back to Su Mansion together tomorrow morning."
