Chapter 211 Entering the Palace (2)
So not to mention those low-rank wives, the high-rank wives are just like Mrs. Anguo Gongtai in their hearts, they more or less look down on the empress dowager, but no one dares to show it.

After the salute and worship, everyone stood up under the chorus of the servants, only to find that Concubine Luo, who was dressed in imperial concubine uniform, was standing beside the empress dowager's throne. They are all mainly dark colors, and matched with corresponding phoenix hairpins or Zhai crowns. They are solemn, but in all fairness, they are a bit unattractive. However, such a lackluster uniform is actually worn by Concubine Luo. There was a radiant feeling, and everyone couldn't help sighing, the imperial concubine is really "light makeup and heavy smear are always suitable", no wonder the emperor favors her like that, and she is obviously an aunt and nephew, how can a noble concubine The empress dowager is so naturally beautiful, but the empress dowager is far behind?

Everyone was a little surprised for a while, what does the emperor mean by this? Letting the imperial concubine stand beside the empress dowager's throne is equivalent to allowing her to accept the worship of all foreign wives. Is it true that the imperial concubine is replaced by the queen empress? Do you mean something?If this is the case, many things in my family will have to be discussed in the long run.

But the shock is the shock, who is not the experienced person?They did not show it at all on the surface, they paid homage to the Empress Dowager as usual, and then filed out of the Shoukang Palace - the Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for family reunion, unlike Zhengdan and Longevity Festivals where there are banquets, of course there are still banquets in the harem at night Yes, but it has nothing to do with all foreign ministers and foreign wives.

It was almost noon when we left the Shoukang Palace, because we are acquaintances, no matter whether we have greeted each other before, now we have to say hello and exchange some pleasantries.

At the moment of excitement, Concubine Luo supported the maid's hand and walked over surrounded by the crowd. Seeing this, everyone hurriedly saluted.

After Luo Guifei got everyone up, she smiled at Mrs. Lu and said, "Just now when I was in the Shoukang Palace, I wanted to talk to the old lady, but it was inconvenient, so I thought about talking to the old lady after everyone had dispersed. Talking, I don't want the old lady to come out first again, so I can only be chased out, won't the old lady laugh at my abruptness?"

Everyone saw that Concubine Luo was coming for Mrs. Lu and the Dingguo Mansion behind her. Although they all wanted to stay and find out what happened, they didn't have the courage to do so, so they all dispersed in twos and threes.

Soon there were only three old Mrs. Lu, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left in front of Concubine Luo.

Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "I don't know what the concubine concubine has to say, but I will listen attentively." The vigilance in her heart that had been raised due to the fact that concubine Luo had rewarded Lu Mingxuan's birthday was even more vigilant. What do you mean, is it like Empress Xu, who can't wait to draw their family into the camp of her mother and son, but others don't know what the emperor is thinking, how can she, the person next to her pillow, not know?As long as the emperor's heart is always on their mother and son, the position of prince can almost be said to be in the pocket of the four princes. The current emperor is not a coward like the former emperor Wanqi. He is capable, scheming, and cunning. She couldn't stand out among the former emperor's princes and become the winner who had the last laugh. Why should Concubine Luo be so anxious to win over her son's servants?
Or did she feel that the old couple knew her secret, and she couldn't feel at ease if they didn't bring Duke Ding's mansion into the camp of their mother and son?
Concubine Luo Guifei seemed not to feel Madam Lu's superficially polite attitude of rejecting her thousands of miles away, and said with a smile: "I dare not take orders, I just want to ask Madam Lu why I didn't bring Miss Xuan into the palace today, and said Although I only met the child once when I came to this palace, I felt that I hit it off, and I thought about taking her into the palace for a few days, and then let her and Baoyi get to know each other."

Why do both of them have the idea of ​​Miss Xuan, really think that Miss Xuan is a helpless girl from the side branch of the Duke's mansion, who can be bullied by others?Mrs. Lu couldn't help being angry for no reason. Although she was still smiling, the smile didn't reach her eyes, and her words were a little blunt: "Today only those who have a mandate can enter the palace. Who is Miss Xuan on the name plate? Naturally, she didn't dare to violate the rules. Moreover, the child came from a humble background and neglected the rules. However, she caused so many disasters once she entered the palace. She was so scared that she fell ill after returning. If you dare to bring her into the palace again, I ask your concubine to forgive me!"

If it were someone else's attitude, Concubine Luo Gui would definitely be angry, but Mrs. Lu was different. Because of Ling Mengqi's relationship, Concubine Luo still remembered how much Mrs. Lu and Dingguo's mansion had affection, so she listened. After saying what Mrs. Lu said, she just said with some disappointment: "That's it...then let's talk about it when I have a chance."

What do you mean by 'we'll talk about it later when we have a chance'? Could it be that the person surnamed Luo is still planning on getting that little bitch Lu Mingxuan?Mrs. Lu, who had been lowering her head and keeping a cold face since the appearance of Concubine Luo, turned colder in an instant. She didn't know what was so good about that little slut. Now the surname Luo is also thinking about it. Could it be that the surname Luo thinks that if he wins over a mere side girl from her, he can go on to take down the entire Dingguo mansion?
Or was it that the surname Luo saw that the little bitch had a vicious face like her, so he was like a fly chasing smell, and couldn't wait to collude with her?

It's just that Mrs. Lu didn't dare to say these words, and Mrs. Lu was there, so there was no room for her to speak, so she could only say it in her heart.

It's not that Concubine Luo didn't notice Madam Lu's cold face, but what does that have to do with her? It's because only the people below are trying to figure out what the high-ranking people mean. Don't you think so?So she only had a few more pleasantries with Mrs. Lu, and then she was surrounded and left.

The rest of Mrs. Lu, although full of hesitation, did not show anything on her face. She led Mrs. Lu and Princess Fuhui out of the palace, and got into her own carriage.

After the carriage started, although Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu were sitting in different carriages, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were both thinking about the same question, that is how to get Concubine Luo to get rid of her inexplicable love for Lu Mingxuan thought?It's just that Mrs. Lu is purely thinking about Lu Mingxuan's future, but Mrs. Lu is afraid that Lu Mingxuan will have something to do with Concubine Luo, so that others will think that the Dingguo Palace has given up on the First Prince and transferred to the Four Princes. , the already unfavorable situation for the First Prince has only worsened.

If Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu knew the reason why Concubine Luo praised Lu Mingxuan so much, they would definitely be shocked.

At that time, Concubine Luo was frowning her beautiful brows and was talking to Citron with a troubled face, "How do you think I can take that Miss Xuan into our palace to stay for a while? If someone else, I can still do it Yizhi or something like using power to suppress people, but Dingguo's government is kind to Brother Yuan, and they also know my true identity, so I really can't do things like using power to suppress people... and I don't know if it's true Bringing that girl into my palace will attract brother Yuan to my palace..."
