Mu Huagui

Chapter 100 Dinner
Chen Jiao'er was in the palace, she didn't dare to take a wrong step, she was happy to deal with her, "It's really hard to break the teacher's order, I hope my sister will forgive me."

Glancing at Ming Qiniang, she saw that she looked very good, and said, "Farewell to the Liu family, it's a blessing to see all the sisters are well."

A maid of honor had already brought cakes and tea, and Ming Qiniang smiled at the person serving the tea.Seen by Chen Jiao'er, she felt that this person is very kind and has no intentions.If not, it would be Wei Ruling's turn to be promoted to concubine in terms of favor.

Tang Xiaodie glanced at Ming Qiniang, and was annoyed to see that she was still so muddy that she couldn't get on the wall.She was either really naive, or she knew that Ming Qiniang had a good relationship with Chen Jiao'er, so she brought Ming Qiniang here, and let her speak without saying a word.

After three rounds of tea, Tang Xiaodie still didn't say goodbye, Chen Jiao'er was puzzled, wondering if she, the newly-baked young lady of the Hou Mansion, had something worthy of their attention.

Just as he was wondering, the maid of honor passed on the message again, and Concubine Wei came to visit.Sisters Wei Ruling came hand in hand, and when they saw the two people in the room, they showed smiles that they had known.Chen Jiao'er didn't have the slightest affection for their sisters. In order to climb into the palace, she helped the tyrant to torture her and Chen Qiluo, but she never forgot.

It's a pity that Chen Qiluo's combat power is negative, otherwise the sisters from the Wei family would not have been promoted to concubines and beauties, and she was still struggling in the position of beauties.

A picture of sisters meeting each other happily is staged in the side hall of the Hall of Compassion on a spring afternoon.After everyone left, Chen Jiao'er looked at the time and took the time to take a bath, otherwise her hair would not be dry in a while.

Half lying on the Arhat's bed, letting Cherry twist her hair, when she heard Ming Qiniang's visit, Chen Jiao'er laughed, "Hurry up."

"I haven't seen my sister for a long time, and I thought... You see, everything is fine now, and I feel relieved. It's just, just..."

Chen Jiao'er laughed and said, "Sister entered the palace, apart from other things, this sentence is finally a little longer. It seems that the emperor treats you very well." Outsiders don't know, but Chen Jiao'er knows that Ming Qiniang is not a person who is good at disguising, and her face is full of tears. Her smile and the look in her eyes can't be fooled.

Ming Qiniang lowered her head shyly, then raised her head after a while and said, "Little sister, you don't know, they all thought that the Empress Dowager left you in the palace to make you a noble concubine. My sister knows that you don't want to enter the palace at all, so hurry up Let me tell you, if this happens, you have to deal with it.”

Chen Jiao'er frowned, "Where did this word come from?"

Ming Qiniang shook her head, she was not someone who would inquire about the movements of the various palaces at any time, if Tang Xiaodie hadn't invited her to inquire about Chen Jiaoer's attitude, she would never have known about it.

Hold Ming Qiniang's hand tightly, "Thank you."

Chen Jiao'er knew that except for Ming Qiniang, no one else in the harem would tell her this.Full of gratitude, "In this harem, the status and power are all vain, and only the emperor's favor is the only thing you can rely on."

"Thank you sister, I am very content with what I have today, not to mention that I still have the reputation of a beauty. Even if I don't have a name, I am willing to be a tea serving girl by his side." Ming Qiniang Although he doesn't know how to fight for favor in the harem, he has inadvertently grasped the most essential things.

She doesn't have a huge family that needs to balance the relationship, and she doesn't think about asking for anything for her relatives, she just loves the emperor wholeheartedly.In her heart, the emperor being the lord of the world has nothing to do with her, she is just a woman who loves her man.

Therefore, without a peerless appearance, without a prominent family background, she has won the emperor's heartfelt favor with her love.She doesn't seem to have a high reputation, but He She is not the emperor's protection for her.If you are not able to deal with it but you are placed in a high position, you will become the target of public criticism, and if you make a mistake, you will be doomed.

How can it be like now, without showing mountains or dews, but having an extraordinary weight in the heart of the emperor.

Sending Ming Qiniang away, Chen Jiao'er let them dress up while thinking about who would spread this rumor and what purpose they wanted to achieve.

"Okay, Miss, see if you are satisfied." Licorice inserted the last hairpin and asked cautiously.

"Wow, miss is so beautiful, compared to the emperor..." Aunt Su interrupted Cherry's words, "Miss is just as beautiful as she is, and you don't need to compare yourself with anyone."

After speaking, she pulled Cherry aside to teach her a lesson, but Chen Jiaoer shook her head and did not stop her.They are in the palace now, if they don't pay attention to their words, they may not be able to protect them by then.Pay attention in advance, it is indeed necessary.

The banquet in the imperial palace is held in Shangwu Hall. Apart from the royal relatives, princes and other nobles, there are also a few court officials who can bring their relatives to participate.As the protagonist, Chen Jiao'er naturally entered the palace with the Empress Dowager.

In the main hall, the emperor, the empress and all the officials knelt down to welcome the empress dowager to take their seats. Chen Jiaoer stood aside, and after the empress dowager finished her ceremony, she went forward to pay respects to the emperor.

The Empress Dowager waved her hand and said, "Man, greet this little girl for me, so as not to be bored with my old lady. It's lively today, let's have fun." Said to Chen Jiaoer.

Dongjun Princess Chang Shengnan, this name is unknown to most people, but the Empress Dowager remembers it clearly and always calls her a man.

"Come and sit." Princess Dongjun beckoned her to sit beside her, "There are a lot of people here today, so we will inevitably have to deal with them in the future, but we must take note of them."

"Thank you, Princess, for your teaching." Chen Jiao'er thanked and sat down, while the cherry and licorice stood behind them and stood still.This is Aunt Su's idea, Licorice is familiar with the rules in the palace, so I can remind you a little bit if you bring it with you.

Let Cherry learn from them in private, so as not to embarrass the lady outside.Cherry was repeatedly frightened and taught by Aunt Su, her face was pale and she clenched her teeth in annoyance, vowing not to talk too much.

Lu Huo'er and Zhou Mingyuan were sitting on the other side of the concubine, they both looked over at the same time, Chen Jiao'er smiled and nodded at them.It's just that there are too many people at the banquet, and there is another princess, so it's not convenient to talk.

The emperor toasted with all the people, and was about to leave with the queen on the grounds that he was too drunk.But I heard the waiter step forward and said loudly, "Lu Huo'er, the son of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, has a gift."

The Marquis of Zhenyuan was granted the title of Nan Lu Zhiling, while Lu Huo'er was granted the title of heir son, and he will be granted the title again at a later date.This is of course a trick played by the emperor. If you are loyal, you will surely be able to inherit the title smoothly.Otherwise, this kind of descendant who has no blood relationship can take back the title for any reason.

"Oh." The emperor was obviously very happy.You must know that in the past few days, there have been discussions among hundreds of officials, and many people privately joked that the descendants of the Lu family have retired for a hundred years, and they have become savages.Even if there are other arguments, most of them are not optimistic about the descendants of the Lu family.

This kind of argument makes the emperor who intends to reuse the descendants of the Lu family very unhappy.Therefore, he also hoped that Lu Huo'er could show his face in front of everyone.Of course, it is best to have a long face.

Lu Huo'er was wearing a blue-gray dark silk gown. Although her skin was dark, her facial features were very handsome.In addition, the young man grew up in the deep mountains, with a hulking back, a natural wildness in every gesture, which is another kind of aura that the young masters in the capital don't have.

Kneeling down and shouting long live, "Although the ministers are far away in the borderlands, they often have a heart to share the emperor's worries. This map is still the power of the whole family of the Lu family to go deep into the mountains and rivers and landforms drawn by the Tatars. There is also a gift list, which is bold. Please take a look, Your Majesty."

"Seriously." Not only the emperor was excited, but all the military officers sitting there were also inexplicably excited, and the way they looked at Lu Huo'er was obviously different.

The waiter presented the map and the gift list, the emperor grabbed the map and handed the gift list to the waiter to "read."

Neiwai cleared his throat and said, "A pair of night pearls, a pair of red corals, a pair of Heshibi, ten pairs of rhinoceros horns, twelve pairs of ivory, a box of gemstones of various colors..."

With the voice of the waiter, boxes of treasures are being carried up to the front of the hall, the glowing night pearl with big fists, the blood-red coral with a person's height, and the huge jade that is greener than the sprouts on the branches can still be seen from a distance. the color of water...

As more and more things were carried up, everyone began to re-examine the energy of this descendant of the Lu family.It seems that after a hundred years of seclusion, the Lu family not only did not decline, but instead accumulated a hundred years of energy, and returned to the court strongly.

"Hehe, I believe that many lovers can't bear it like Lian. The two uncles and ministers might as well follow Lian to the Wenhua Palace for a visit, and the prince should come too. I believe there must be a place for you to clarify your doubts."

The men were almost gone, and the rest of the women became active, and many of them brought their daughters to meet Princess Dongjun and Chen Jiao'er.

A very beautiful woman in her thirties came over and said, "My brother and sister are really busy here. I wonder if you have time to introduce the young lady of the Lu family for me."

Princess Dongjun forced out a smile, but the impatience in her eyes made Chen Jiao'er alert. This woman might not be simple.

"This is Princess Xianjun, this...um." Just as Princess Dongjun was talking, a petite little girl walked out from behind Princess Xianjun.However, the Princess of Dongjun had never seen it before, so she couldn't help wondering why she didn't bring her own daughter with her on this occasion, but brought an outsider.

"Lu Jiaojiao." Chen Jiao'er called out the other party's name in one breath, and she was also shocked.How could the mother and daughter of the Lu family appear in the capital and get mixed up with King Xianjun.

"How can the descendants of the Lu family be named Chen? Auntie, don't you think so?" Lu Jiaojiao, with her head full of jewels, pulled the sleeve of Xianjun Princess coquettishly, opened her big eyes, and looked innocently at her. Chen Jiaoer.

"Outsiders don't need to know about the affairs of the Lu family. If the emperor has any inquiries, the courtiers will tell them." Chen Jiao'er replied calmly, feeling extremely uneasy in her heart.

There was mist in Lu Jiaojiao's eyes, she pouted her small mouth, and hid behind Princess Xianjun extremely aggrieved.Chen Jiao'er was impatient with her at all, and the best way to deal with this kind of femme fatale who pretended to be innocent was to ignore her.

When everyone was in embarrassment, they came over and said, "The queen has invited Miss Lu."

Lu Jiaojiao smiled triumphantly, putting on a sweet and harmless smile, "Queen, Jiaojiao misses you to death." The corners of the mouths of the people not far away twitched.
