Chapter 531 One stone stirs up waves (2)
All the wives had no choice but to enter the main hall of Fengyi Hall full of regrets, knelt three times and kowtowed to Empress Xu on the throne to salute.

After the female officer called out, everyone looked at Empress Xu without a trace, and saw that although Empress Xu had a dignified and solemn face, there was a clear look of joy in her eyes, and they all understood Empress Xu's attitude, even though the emperor had more The new love, but the empress is obviously happier than the emperor. Think about it, the emperor doesn't have many new loves, and the empress has long since fallen out of favor. Now there is a newcomer who can be favored by Concubine Luo. The so-called "enemy's enemy is a friend" , the empress is naturally happy to hear it.

There have never been any secrets in the rich and noble circles in the capital, let alone the fact that the emperor has a new favorite, Gu Meiren. Within a few days, Gu Meiren's name became known to everyone, and the news of Concubine Luo's fall from favor also spread like wildfire.

However, Lu Mingxuan said that this year because she was worried that King Ning would be made the crown prince at some point, she did not return home until the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, and celebrated the New Year with Lu Zhongxian's Qi family and her two younger brothers.

Brother An was five years old when he first started, and Brother Ding was also three years old. It was fine when Lu Mingxuan was not at home on weekdays. After staying at home for less than a day, he already knew how mischievous the two of them were. Cats hate dogs, and every time it made her dumbfounded, Qi was half-dead with anger.

Although Lu Mingxuan was dizzy from the noise, she felt indescribably peaceful and relaxed in her heart. This kind of feeling can only be felt in the Lu family. Maybe this is the feeling of home?
On the second day of the first lunar month, Yan Jiulang brought Lu Mingfu back early in the morning to pay New Year's greetings. Lu Mingfu had been pregnant for more than six months, and she deliberately wore loose clothes. When she made a circle, her face also circled. Seeing this, Lu Mingxuan couldn't help exclaiming: "Sister, why are you so fat? Can you lose weight after giving birth?"

Lu Mingfu's face was full of annoyance: "I'm also worried that I won't be able to lose weight in the future, but I always feel hungry. I really can't control my mouth, and I have to eat. I'm afraid that the child will be hungry. Could it be like this? Who knows? What I ate and vomited in the first three months, my appetite will improve like this once the three months are over!"

On the side, Yan Jiulang comforted her in a soft voice: "It's better to be fatter, and you will be blessed if you are fatter. Don't think so much, just let everything take its course. Maybe you will lose weight soon after giving birth. ?”

From the tone of voice to the look in the eyes, Lu Mingxuan was very gentle. Seeing it, she winked at Lu Mingfu: "If you can't lose weight, you can't lose weight. My brother-in-law has already said that I won't dislike you. It's no big deal!"

Lu Mingfu blushed, pushed her and said: "You talk a lot, and if you don't talk, who will treat you as dumb? Tomorrow, if you are so talkative, I'll sew your mouth up with a needle! "

Lu Mingxuan hurriedly complained to Lu Zhongxian who was just stroking his beard and smiling: "Father, you also heard that my sister is going to sew up my mouth with a needle, you have to decide for me!"

Lu Zhongxian smiled and said to Lu Mingfu: "It's New Year's Eve, just let your sister off this time, and carefully turn around and your brother-in-law will settle accounts with you!" He turned around and made fun of Lu Mingxuan.

"If you still act in the future, you should sue your father, right!" Lu Mingfu laughed so hard that she fell down, while Lu Mingxuan's ears were completely red, and she just refused to follow Lu Mingfu's buttocks, but there was no loss in her movements. Out of control, she didn't use any real force, for fear of hurting the child in her womb.

Seeing Yan Shijiulang frowned slightly, Qi thought he was afraid that Lu Mingxuan would hurt Lu Mingfu, so he hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to separate the two sisters. First, he smiled and annoyed Lu Mingxuan: "My aunt is pregnant now. Well, for the sake of your little nephew, Second Miss, can't you take more care of her in everything?"

Then she smiled and said to Lu Mingfu: "Aunt and grandma don't have to worry about not being able to lose weight in the future. After the baby is born, you will have to eat and eat for a while, and you don't even want to sleep at night. You will lose weight naturally in a short time." Now, when I gave birth to your two younger brothers, I was too fat to look at them? Although I still can’t go back to when I was alive, at least I can’t look at them, right?”

Everyone chatted and laughed again, and the mother-in-law came back and said, "The second son-in-law is here!"

Lu Mingfu couldn't help but tease Lu Mingxuan again, after Ling Mengqi came in to pay New Year's greetings to Lu Zhongxian and the Qi family, and after seeing Yan Shijiulang and Lu Mingfu, Lu Zhongxian got up and took his two sons-in-law to the outer courtyard.

The rest of the Qi family knew that Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu must have something to say, so they used the excuse of going to the kitchen to see how the luncheon dishes were being prepared, and they couldn't spare time to accompany Lu Mingfu, so they asked Lu Mingxuan to replace her Accompanying each other, Lu Mingxuan took Lu Mingfu back to her yard, and the two sisters talked freely.

For a while, the maid was able to go back and forth for lunch, so the two sisters went back to the upper room, and enjoyed lunch with Qi and two younger brothers.

After the meal, Lu Mingfu couldn't be too tired now, and soon became tired, so Qi put her in her warm pavilion to rest. Lu Mingxuan was still not sleepy, so she took Danqing to the garden for a walk to digest food.

Perhaps Lu Mingxuan walked into the garden with her front feet, but Danbi rushed over and said in a low voice, "Master said he wanted to see a girl, but I don't know how convenient it is for a girl?"

The reason why Lu Mingxuan insisted on coming to the garden to eat was because she was thinking that Ling Mengqi might see her. Hearing Danbi's words, her cheeks couldn't help but feel a little hot, and she said for a moment: "Go and invite him, I'll be right here waiting for him."

"Yes, girl." Danbi went away in response, and after a while brought Ling Mengqi over, and then retreated with Danqing, guarding the two only roads leading to the garden vigilantly, so that her girl and Uncle can speak at ease.

Since Ling Mengqi was able to meet Lu Mingxuan the next day, he didn't need to express his sincerity when they met now, so he directly lowered his voice and said straight to the point: "The night before yesterday, the emperor favored a maid in the Shoukang Palace, and now she has been registered as a concubine from the Fourth Palace. What a beauty."

In just one sentence, Lu Mingxuan was startled and said in a broken voice: "Didn't the emperor only love the imperial concubine and empress, and treat the three thousand beauties in the harem as nothing for the sake of the imperial concubine? How could this be? Could it be a mistake? ?”

Reason told Lu Mingxuan that the fact that the emperor had a new favorite was absolutely beneficial and harmless to them. Maybe the emperor's insistence on King Li Ning as the crown prince would also change. Even if it didn't change, at least it would buy them more time. .

But emotionally, she felt that this matter was so unacceptable, and she even had an indescribably disgusting feeling that she was forced to eat flies. It turned out that no matter how deep the relationship was, it was no match for the temptation from the outside world!
"Now eight out of ten people in the entire capital know about this, how could they be wrong?" Ling Mengqi Xu also felt the same as Lu Mingxuan, and his face was full of sarcasm and sarcasm when he spoke, " I originally thought that the one who was really loyal to her until death made her act so resolutely to abandon her husband and son, but I didn't expect that one was not as loyal as my father Where to go, they are all towards Qin Muchu, half-hearted, nothing is worth it, and I don't know if she has regretted it now? In my heart, I am really happy!"
