Chapter 10 My son sends you back to the palace
After lunch, Su Qingyuan's catastrophe did not end.

Xiaoyingzi brought over today's memorial.Lu Li began to critique the memorial, but the majestic Empress Dowager was treated like a little maid, serving him tea, pouring water, spreading paper and rubbing ink.

There were quite a few maids and eunuchs serving in the inner hall, but none of them raised any objections to this, as if these errands should have been the empress dowager's responsibility in the first place.

Only when the courtiers came to discuss matters, could Su Qingyuan sit beside Lu Junnuo, pretending to coax him to sleep or play with him, like a real dignified empress dowager.

After the minister left, she had no choice but to leave Lu Junnuo behind and obediently return to Lu Li's side.

At this time, Lu Li would always give her a meaningful look, obviously mocking her pious appearance in front of others.

Su Qingyuan hated it in her heart, but there was nothing she could do.

After all, she can't be as unscrupulous as him - she can lose face, but she can't lose her life.

Lu Li was convinced of this, so he became more and more presumptuous.After the memorial was approved, he actually started to touch her in front of the little eunuch in the palace.

Not only did Su Qingyuan not dare to say anything, but she tried her best to cover it up, for fear of being seen by others.

Whenever she tried her best to cover it up, Lu Li always intensified it, and he would not give up until he forced her to panic and embarrass herself.

After doing this several times, Su Qingyuan was exhausted and almost on the verge of collapse.

At the exact time of You, the little eunuch from the outer hall came in to remind him that the time for mourning at night was approaching.Su Qingyuan jumped up and pulled Lu Junnuo as if she was being amnesty, and ran outside.

Lu Li "kindly" stopped her, "Are you planning to go out like this?"

Su Qingyuan stood there for a while before realizing that the palace pays attention to appearance, and she needs to look in the mirror.

It was only at this moment that she realized how embarrassed she was: this afternoon, her back was soaked in cold sweat countless times, and there were many dirty sweat stains on her miserable white mourning clothes; It had already been loosened, and a few strands of hair were soaked in sweat and hung down in a mess; the most invisible thing was the pale face—and the pair of dull, red eyes.

Su Qingyuan could hardly recognize herself in the mirror.

Lu Li suddenly smiled at her, "That's fine, let's go out like this. If you don't look haggard like this, how can it appear that the queen mother is heartbroken over the death of the emperor?"

In the end, Su Qingyuan just brushed her hair again, and led Lu Junnuo out the door together.

This time, what greeted her was unprecedented courtesy.

Of course, the status of "Empress Dowager" is still very useful in front of outsiders.As for how this identity was obtained, it is not that important.

Lu Junnuo has already made King Ding'an. Although he no longer has the status of "Crown Prince", he is still a nobleman of the Tian family after all, and the attitude of the courtiers has become respectful again.

After mourning, Emperor Daxing's harem concubines came to salute Su Qingyuan again, making up for today's "rules".

Among these women, the oldest is sixteen or seventeen years older than Su Qingyuan.Now that they want to salute and say hello to Su Qingyuan, their faces will inevitably look a little ugly.

Among them, the one with the ugliest face was undoubtedly Shen Suxin - I don't know whether Lu Li did it on purpose or not, but in the decree handed down, Shen Suxin's honorific title was "Twilight Concubine", not "Grand Concubine".If one word is missing, it means that her status has been downgraded by one level. How can she not be annoyed?

Su Qingyuan didn't have much to say to these strange women, she greeted them casually and told them to leave.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with Chao Qiandian, Su Qingyuan planned to take Lu Junnuo back to Fanghua Palace.Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, Lu Li appeared in front of her lingeringly: "Mother, I will send you back to the palace."
