Chapter 210 Entering the Palace (1)
Before she finished speaking, Lu Mingxuan said bitterly: "Then take it out and throw it away, the farther the better, so that I won't get angry in vain!" Do you really think she will have nothing to do with him if she plays a rascal?

The box of chess pieces was all polished into small round particles of the same size and shape with Hetian jade, and each piece was crystal clear under the light. She was so angry, she said that she could throw such a precious chess piece, and it could be seen that the anger on Lu Mingxuan's face did not seem to be fake, she did not dare to say anything, so she just picked up the box of chess pieces and walked out slowly, praying over and over again in her heart , the girl must be called to stop her!

Fortunately, God heard her prayer this time, and before she went out, Lu Mingxuan let Lu Mingxuan speak: "Come back! Forget it, this chess piece is worth thousands of taels of silver, let's keep it for now, and wait until tomorrow." Return the opportunity to Mr. Ling and let him handle it himself, even if it is given to those poor people, it is a merit, wouldn't it be better than throwing it away for nothing?"

Although his tone was still very bad, he still left things behind.

Dan Qingfang quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said sympathetically in his heart, Mr. Ling, it seems that you have to change tactics again!

After Lu Mingxuan's birthday, she had been worried about Mrs. Lu or Lu Mingfeng making trouble for her, but after seven or eight days in a row, nothing happened. She didn't know that Mrs. Lu was busy preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Regardless of paying attention to her, someone persuaded her, anyway, everything is calm.

Two days later, seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival was just around the corner, Princess Fuhui, who had been complaining of being ill for several months and had never been to the Duke's mansion, suddenly came over. So he went straight to the point and said to Mrs. Lu: "In two days' time, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, a time for family reunion. I think that Zhu'er will recover from her illness for so long, so I want to take her back for the festival. The family can also be reunited, I don't know what the old lady wants?"

I haven't seen her for a few months. Princess Fuhui has lost some weight and her cheekbones are protruding, giving people a more sharp feeling. She thinks Lu Mingzhu's life is not easy in the past few months after she was sent away.

Mrs. Lu has long since given up any hope for this noble daughter-in-law, as long as they can get along with each other, Wen Yanyin just said indifferently: "It was the old man's order to send the county magistrate out to recuperate. But I can’t be the lord, if the eldest princess really misses the county lord, why not tell the old man personally?”

But she was sneering in her heart, she couldn't forget what happened that day when the fourth girl made a fuss so quickly, and now the uncle of the He family and the county master of Yi'an haven't married yet, so bringing the fourth girl back at this time is because she feels that during this period of time There is no news in the capital, do you plan to entertain the people in the capital with yourself?
If Princess Fuhui had dared to go directly to the old man, she would not have come to Mrs. Lu's place to circle around. She was angry and ashamed, but she couldn't lose her temper, so she had no choice but to send her personal female officer to see the old man, thinking that she bowed her head first, so the old man should give her some points How about face?
It's a pity that Princess Fuhui is doomed to be disappointed, and her personal female officer quickly brought back the words of the old man: "The fourth girl is so seriously ill, how can she recover after a few months of care? You have to raise her for a year or so or even longer before you can hope for a good life. As the eldest princess, as a mother, doesn’t she want her daughter to be well? Now that she is brought back, wouldn’t all previous efforts be wasted?”

If it was Mrs. Lu who said this, Princess Fuhui would have dared to fight, but if it was the old man, she would not dare to make a mistake, so she could only walk away angrily.

The three major festivals in the palace, Zhengdan, Longevity Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival are the most solemn days of the year. On these three days, the emperor will lead a group of princes to accept congratulations from civil and military officials in the previous court. Foreign wives will also enter the palace to congratulate the queen, and they will be full of flowers, which is very lively.

Duke Dingguo's Mansion is no exception. Early in the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the men wore court clothes, and the women put on heavy make-up according to their style. They were brought into the palace by the old Duke and Mrs. Lu. After finishing his hand, the old man led Lu Zhongmian and Lu Zhongyu to the Qianyuan Hall to meet the emperor, and Mrs. Lu led his wife and Princess Fuhui to the Shoukang Hall to meet the empress dowager. The empress congratulates the empress, not the empress dowager, but Empress Xu's "phoenix body has not healed", and now Concubine Luo is in charge of the six palaces in the palace, but even if Concubine Luo is favored again, to put it bluntly, she is nothing more than a concubine No matter how much the emperor loves her, he would not dare to risk the disgrace of the world to let the wives inside and outside go to see her, so he thought of a compromise method, and ordered the wives to go to the Shoukang Palace every day to meet the empress dowager.

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law arrived outside the main hall of Deshoukang Hall on the third day, they saw that the curtain had been set up on the open space outside.

But just like Empress Xu's Qianqiu Festival, those low-grade wives are not eligible to enter the tent on such occasions, and can only stand and wait under the veranda, so the curtains of the outside wives are filled with high-grade wives, That's why they are acquaintances of each other.

As soon as she entered the curtain, Mrs. Lu felt that everyone inside fell on her intentionally or unintentionally, making her feel like a light on her back, and there were even whispers. She could only hear "The Empress", Words like 'big prince' can't help scolding everyone to death in their hearts, and looking at the curtain of the married woman who is separated from the curtain of the foreign married woman's gaze is like a poisoned knife, Luo Shi, you bitch Man, it was you who made the empress empress and the eldest prince lose power, and made me the laughing stock of everyone today. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. I will wait and see what will happen to your mother and son when the eldest prince becomes the great treasure in the future. What's the end!
On the contrary, Mrs. Lu greeted her acquaintances as usual, and she seemed not to be affected at all by the loss of Empress Xu and the First Prince's power. People who cared saw it, and couldn't help guessing secretly. The eldest daughter is married to the First Prince, and Dingguo's mansion has not really joined the First Prince's camp!

After a while, the voice of the servant came: "The empress dowager has been promoted to the throne—"

Everyone's expressions were serious, and they hurriedly stood on the left and right according to their husbands' titles and ranks. Soon they heard the sound of playing music from the main hall of Shoukang Palace, and everyone knew that it was Concubine Luo leading the married woman We are meeting the Empress Dowager.

After the married woman is the princess, and finally it is the turn of the married women to meet.

The empress dowager is over fifty, with a square face, she is not too beautiful. When she was drafted into the palace, she was just a low-ranking concubine who was selected as a servant. After entering the palace, she has never been favored. It was a coincidence that the first emperor flipped the cards a few times before he got the present one, but even if he won the prince, he still couldn't sit on the first palace lord. Until the death of the first emperor, he was still Jieyu's position. After she was honored as a great treasure, she was honored as the queen mother, and she had the honor she is today.
