The Concubine's Biography of the Concubine Seizing the Palace

Hearing this, Lu Mo's face turned pale, and the hand holding the small porcelain bottle began to tremble, before asking after a while, "Is this...poison?"

The imperial concubine nodded lightly: "That's right, although it's not like poisonous poison that can kill people instantly, but... as long as you eat it, you will be poisoned to death most of the time!"

"Your Majesty, the concubines in the palace test the poison in many ways every day. Even if the slaves have the ability to put poison in the meals sent to the imperial concubine by the imperial dining room, they will still be found out!" Lu Mo didn't understand. Why did the imperial concubine ask her to use such a thankless method. 【 】

The imperial concubine smiled and said: "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and all the concubines in the harem will make moon cakes with their own hands and eat them while admiring the moon at night. With this excuse, let them cook!"

Lu Mo's heart trembled suddenly, and she immediately understood that the imperial concubine had planned it long ago, and she suddenly had some calculations in her heart, and then she pretended to be happy and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this slave understands what your empress means. Tomorrow, this servant will definitely find a way to let the concubine eat it." Serve poisonous mooncakes!"

"Who said that the concubine Ling will eat it!" The imperial concubine sneered.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Lu Mo looked at her in astonishment.

"If some of the mooncakes made by the concubine Ling are poisonous, poisoning the concubine Jia or... the pure concubine, then... wouldn't it be better?" The concubine Huang Gui couldn't help laughing out loud: Now, if the emperor protects her again, she will be doomed!"

"But empress, if the empress dowager and the emperor ate poisonous moon cakes, wouldn't it be..." Lu Mo's face became even more ugly when she said this.

"This...." The imperial concubine pondered for a moment before saying: "Forget it, although this is a poison that penetrates the intestines, but... if you put it in less, the toxicity will not be so strong. If the imperial doctor treats it in time, it will not kill people. Do not put it in." Come on, it's cheaper for them!"

"Yes, I understand, I will definitely not let you down!" Lu Mo said with a respectful laugh.

"That's good. After the matter is completed, I will definitely not treat you badly. Your uncle's eldest son, I ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrange an errand for him last month. Although he is only a sixth-rank official, it is still considered fat. If you can satisfy this palace, their prosperity and wealth will be just around the corner!" The imperial concubine laughed.

"Yes, thank you Ma'am for your kindness, I will definitely do my best to do things for you!" Lu Mo pretended to be happy.

"Well, come here, I will teach you how to do it in detail!" The imperial concubine waved lightly.

Lu Mo leaned over, and when the imperial concubine had finished speaking, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Your Majesty, great move!"

"Well, it's up to you whether it can be done or not. It's getting late, you should go back, lest the empress dowager look for you!" The imperial concubine waved her hands and smiled lightly.

"Yes!" Lu Mo immediately withdrew.

On the way back to the Compassionate Ning Palace, Lu Mo's mind was very chaotic.

She realized that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She doesn't care about other people's life or death. The only thing she cares about is the life and death of the imperial concubine. Now...the people in the palace who want the imperial concubine to die the most are not the concubine Ling and Concubine Jia, It's her, it's her Lumo.

Now, not only can she not avenge Hui Lan, but she also has to pretend to be loyal to her in order to ensure the safety of her family.

God knows, every time she went to see the imperial concubine, she wished she could quietly take out the small dagger hidden in her cuff and stab her to death, but she couldn't, absolutely couldn't.

She must calm down and wait for the time, and now, the best time has come.

On the second day, Lu Mo served the Empress Dowager very carefully. After the Empress Dowager had breakfast, she was very energetic. It's cool, Niang Niang hasn't gone out for a few days, can I go to the Garden of Compassion and Ning for a stroll!"

"Girl, you are talking about Aijia's heart. After staying in the palace for a few days, Aijia is very bored. You can go shopping with Aijia!" The Queen Mother laughed.

"Yes, empress!" Lu Mo immediately winked at the little palace maid beside her, and they helped the queen mother up together.

Mother Qiu is getting old, the Queen Mother is sympathetic to her and let her rest more on weekdays, but now it is Lu Mo who is by the Queen Mother's side from morning till night.

Arriving at the Garden of Compassion, Lu Mo kept on making the Empress Dowager happy with witty words, and after returning to the bedroom, Lu Mo tentatively said: "Madam, before the Longevity Festival, the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang presented Madam with a jar of candied green plums. Madam, do you want to try it?" ?”

The queen mother heard this and said with a smile: "The Ai family likes the candied green plums the most, but the ones from Fujian are the most delicious. Okay, let's present them!"

"Yes!" Lu Mo replied, and said again: "It's almost noon, Madam, would you like to invite the emperor over for lunch?"

"You reminded the Ai family that the emperor loved to eat this candied green plum when he was a child, Lu Mo, let Ma Renyi invite the emperor to come over!" The Queen Mother ordered with a smile.

"Yes, empress!" Lu Mo let out a long sigh of relief.

Ma Renyi got the Queen Mother's order, so he didn't dare to be negligent, and hurried to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but when he learned that the emperor had gone to the Palace of Yanxi Palace where the concubine Ling lived, he ran to the Palace of Yanxi Palace panting.

The emperor was going to eat at Wei Ning'er's place today, but the Queen Mother invited him to go, he naturally would not ignore the Queen Mother's intentions, but he didn't want to leave Wei Ning'er behind, so he simply brought her with him.

Wei Ning'er didn't want to go at first, but the emperor said: "Go, please greet the Queen Mother, I see that she likes you quite a lot these days!"

When Wei Ning'er heard the words, she didn't dare to say any more, so she went with the emperor.

The Empress Dowager did not expect that the Emperor would bring Wei Ning'er here, but she did not say much, just as the Emperor said, the Empress Dowager has treated Wei Ning'er well these days, even Wei Ning'er was surprised.

After lunch, the emperor dragged Wei Ning'er to talk with the queen mother.

"Emperor, try this candied green plum. The governor of Fujian and Zhejiang paid tribute to it a few days ago. It tastes very good. Aijia liked this when he was young, but at that time people were quiet and it was not so easy to get it!" The queen mother pointed to a large plate. Candied green plums, said with a smile!

"In the future, I will ask Fujian and Zhejiang to pay more tribute. I remember that the Queen Mother used to like to eat, but she didn't give it to me often. She said that eating too much would make her teeth sour." The emperor couldn't help but recall the past.

"At that time, you were young, but you were a bit greedy. The Empress Dowager didn't care about you, so it's okay!" The Queen Mother laughed lowly.

Wei Ning'er couldn't help but glanced at the emperor, thinking, the emperor is the Ninth Five-Year King, but when he was a child, he was not much different from other children.

"Emperor Niang is exposing my shortcomings!" The emperor also laughed out loud.

Wei Ning'er doesn't really like to eat sour green plum preserves, but because the Empress Dowager and the Emperor are around, she had to taste one, but she found it very crunchy, sweet and refreshing, so she couldn't help but ate a few more.

"The green plums from Fujian are the best, and the candied fruit is also very delicious. Concubine Ling, eat more!" The queen mother laughed.

"Yes, thank you, Empress Dowager!" Wei Ning'er said respectfully.

Lu Mo watched them eating candied green plums, feeling a little nervous, with cold sweat on his palms, and when he saw that the candied green plums were almost gone, he calmly served a plate.

The Empress Dowager was in high spirits today, talking to the Emperor about many past events, until she was a little tired and wanted to take a nap, the Emperor took Wei Ning'er and left.

Back at Yanxi Palace, Wei Ning'er went to the small kitchen to make mooncakes. In fact, she didn't know how to make mooncakes, but she had to. After all, the imperial concubine made an order in public. After returning to the palace yesterday, she sent all the servants in the palace They were all called, and after detailed questioning, they found out that a court lady who cleaned the backyard could do it. Yesterday, Wei Ning'er asked this maid to teach her several times. Today, she got up early in the morning and went to the small kitchen to cook for herself. She had been busy for a long time. It's just finished, and the taste is not bad, but the ones that are delivered at night must be fresh, so she has to do it again.

After everything was tidied up, it was getting late, Wei Ning'er washed and dressed again under the service of Bingruo and others, and then ordered Bingruo to carry the food box with her to the Empress Dowager's Palace of Compassion and Ning'er.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival in the palace, a screen is usually placed facing east in the courtyard, and cockscombs, edamame, taro, peanuts, radishes, and fresh lotus root are placed on both sides of the screen.There is an Eight Immortals table in front of the screen, on which is placed a very large moon cake, surrounded by pastries and fruits.

After the moon sacrifice, the moon cakes are cut into several pieces, and each person tastes a symbolic mouthful, which is called "eating reunion cakes".

The moon cakes made in the palace are very large, which is unimaginable.Although it is very rare, it is not very interesting if it happens every year, so the proposal of the imperial concubine can be regarded as a change.

However, what Wei Ning'er didn't expect was that when she went to the garden outside the Compassionate Ning Palace, she still saw the astonishingly large mooncakes on the table of the Eight Immortals, which seemed to be even bigger than previous years.

"This is?" Wei Ning'er looked at Concubine Jia who arrived earlier than her with a puzzled face.

"The empress dowager's meaning, she said, although the imperial concubine's idea is very novel, but the Mid-Autumn Festival is all about reunion, and this big moon cake should be divided and eaten!" Concubine Jia couldn't help but laugh low .

The two chatted for a while, and gradually everyone in the harem arrived.

"The empress dowager is here, the emperor is here!"

Following the announcement from the eunuch, all the concubines in the harem immediately stood up and saluted: "May the queen mother be blessed with golden safety, and the emperor be blessed with golden safety."

"Everyone get up, there are no outsiders, so there is no need to be polite!" With the support of the emperor, the queen mother sat on the chairs before letting everyone stand up.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!"

After the crowd followed the queen mother and the emperor to worship the moon and shared the big mooncakes, the queen mother glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "The Ai family can't wait to taste the mooncakes you made."

Seeing that the Queen Mother was so happy, the emperor was naturally very happy, and said with a smile: "You all present the mooncakes one by one, the imperial concubine comes first!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The imperial concubine responded, and immediately ordered the maid to bring up the mooncakes she made. There were two large plates, enough for everyone present to taste.

Wu Shulai immediately ordered the waiting eunuchs to try it, and after confirming that there was no abnormality in the mooncakes, he asked them to serve one to each of the masters present.

"Sweet sweet-scented osmanthus!" The queen mother took a bite and smiled.

"I want to report to the Empress Dowager, there is a saying that the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers in August are fragrant, and this mooncake is made from the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers that my concubine personally picked this morning." The imperial concubine laughed.
