Chapter 533 Turning Point (1)
Then there was Lu Wenting's helpless voice: "Mother, it's not that we ignore your life and death. It's the limit of what we can do for you if father agrees to take you back for the New Year. Please don't make things difficult for your son and fourth brother. We We should be filial to you, but we can't disobey our father and grandfather!"

Mrs. Lu said sharply: "Who told you to disobey them, I just asked you to go to them to intercede, if they don't agree, you just won't get up... Now that your aunt has gained power in the palace again, in the future your sister and I The good life of my daughter is yet to come, as long as you plead for mercy, I believe they will definitely agree to it because they only care about your aunt and sister's face..."

"Mother, don't you have those extravagant thoughts anymore, okay? Now it's clear that the eldest prince is absolutely impossible. If you make such a fuss, once it spreads to the outside world, no matter which prince ascends the throne in the future, our family will be in danger." If you can't get it, it's good...you just listen to your father's words and go to Zhuangzi to take care of you, at most I promise you, I will pick you up when the overall situation is settled in the future, okay?" Lu Wenting's voice became more and more helpless.

Mrs. Lu saw that it was hopeless to persuade her eldest son, so she turned to Lu Wenqian again, and said in a frenzied tone, "Qian'er, can you go and intercede for mother... Mother insisted on staying, after all, it was because of you. Now that your grandmother is sick, the matter of meeting your daughter-in-law for you can only fall on your sister-in-law? Who knows what kind of person she will find for you? If she hides evil intentions and looks for you as a worthless person so as not to rape her in the future, wouldn't it hurt you for the rest of your life?"

"Mother, what are you talking about, sister-in-law is not like that..."

Lu Mingxuan heard this from outside, whether she was advancing or retreating. When she was in a dilemma, Grandma Lu came out from the slope and said to her in a low voice: "Although my mother has been raised by General Zhuangzi for half a year, she is still ill. If it doesn't get better, Sister Xuan still don't go in, I'll just tell my mother on my behalf, so I won't be sick to Sister Xuan, and then I'll give it to Grandma and her old man."

"Since that's the case, I'm going to be my sister-in-law." Relieved, Lu Mingxuan hurriedly bowed her knees to thank Grandma Lu, but she caught a glimpse of the tiredness and sarcasm on her face, and couldn't help sighing secretly, as long as Mrs. Lu is a smart person, she should know now Her husband is already unreliable, so it's better to keep her son and daughter-in-law close together, but she still insists on getting along with her daughter-in-law. If this continues, even her son's heart will be completely lost!

After thinking about it, I thought about what Mrs. Lu said just now. She saw that Concubine Luo fell out of favor, and felt that the eldest prince had another chance. She couldn't help but sighed secretly. It can cause such a big impact. I don't know how many powerful and powerful people in the capital can't sleep at night because of it these days?
But having said that, she herself can't sleep well every night, and she doesn't know when she will be tall on such a day!
Because Dingguo's mansion is in the period of filial piety, there is no need to invite New Year's wine this year, so naturally there is no need to send out posts.

Unexpectedly, since Mrs. Lu and below, except for Mrs. Lu who is "sickly", Grandma Lu, Mrs. Duan and Second Grandma Lu have not received a few invitations from other families to invite them to drink New Year's wine. At the beginning, everyone thought that Dingguo's mansion had too many bad things last year, and that's why they were collectively isolated by the upper-class circles in the capital.

It was only later that I found out that not only the Duke of Dingguo, but also other high-ranking households seldom entertain guests with New Year’s wine as in previous years. I think it was because of the establishment of the crown prince a few years ago and now that the emperor has a new favorite, Concubine Luo fell out of favor. It's related to the matter, so it's not difficult to explain why everyone has played low-key by coincidence. The thunder and rain are all the favor of the king. Who knows whether it is thunder or rain waiting for the big guys. Naturally, it is better to plan ahead and be more cautious!
As a result, this first month, the capital is several times deserted than in previous years.

So on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the first day of the court meeting after the opening of the seal, the emperor waited for all civil and military officials to kneel down three times and kowtow nine times. The first thing he did was to announce that after careful consideration over the past few days, he had decided to immediately King Ning is the crown prince, and he drafted a decree to announce it to the world, and followed the etiquette of the Ministry of Rites preparing to enshrine the crown prince. His attitude was unprecedentedly tough.

Although the emperor favored the Gu family on a whim, and registered her as a beauty, after all, he was looking at the Empress Dowager Luo's face, but in fact he had no affection for her, and even because she caused him to break his promise to Concubine Luo, his heart was broken. Very disgusted with her.

After all, the emperor is the emperor, there will be no mistakes, and the empress dowager will not make mistakes, then the only one who is at fault is Gu Meiren, if it wasn't for her vixen and heretics, who made me fall in love for a while, how could I do it? Do you want to do something wrong with the woman you love?Thousands of mistakes, all her faults!

Therefore, after going to bed at night on New Year's Eve, in the following days, Gu Meiren, the emperor's "new favorite" known by the entire palace and even the entire capital, actually never even saw the emperor's face again. Seeing the emperor again, even Empress Dowager Luo, who is a mother, has never seen the emperor again, why does the emperor not understand that Gu Meiren is most likely arranged by his mother on purpose for him?

After all, even if it is placed in an ordinary family, the son will always kiss the daughter-in-law, even if the daughter-in-law is his own niece, not to mention that Concubine Luo is not the niece of the Empress Dowager Luo, and the Empress Dowager Luo knows her love better than anyone else. The real reason is that I don't like her very much on weekdays, and now naturally I only dislike her even more.

The emperor felt dissatisfied with his mother for this, in the next few days, except for some occasions where he had to appear, he would stay alone in Qianyuan Hall, really wanting to see Concubine Luo Gui, and to her Sorry, ask her to forgive herself, and promise her that she will never do anything wrong to her again in the future.

But Concubine Luo didn't seem to know that he had registered with Gu Meiren. Apart from saying that she was sick since the first day of the Lunar New Year, there was no movement in the Chonghua Palace, which made the emperor feel like he was going down the donkey's steps. No, he really couldn't bear that face and went to the Chonghua Hall on his own initiative. Even if Concubine Luo didn't come to invite him in person, she would have to send someone who served her closely to invite him, so that he could step down?
The emperor simply didn't know how he got here in those few days. Fortunately, on the morning of the sixth day of the first lunar month, someone from Chonghua Palace finally came to invite him.

But it was not because Concubine Luo realized that he would lose him if this continued, and he finally gave in. It was because Concubine Luo was ill. She had been ill since she was intentionally told on the night of New Year's Eve that she had luckyed a maid in Shoukang Palace. For five or six days, when the fever was severe, she couldn't even recognize anyone, and couldn't speak. She just twitched all over her body, but she could only do one thing when she was sober. No one is allowed to spread the news of her illness outside the Chonghua Palace, especially to the emperor's ears, otherwise no matter who it is, they will be killed.
