Chapter 579 New Year's greetings (1)
But seeing that the people around her were already looking at her frequently because of Citron talking to her, if she really rejected Citron, I'm afraid it would be more eye-catching, and Lu Mingxuan also wanted to make it clear to Concubine Luo in person, can she stop talking to her in the future? In the name of love, did you do something that would bring trouble to Ling Mengqi, and possibly even kill him?
"The imperial concubine is the emperor, and the concubines are the ministers." With great difficulty, Lu Mingxuan couldn't hold back the bad words that came to her lips, and said with a forced smile: "Besides, the imperial concubine was still there when the concubines first entered the palace. Thank you for helping me, now that my mother is summoning me, how can it be inconvenient for my concubine, please ask me to guide me." When I said the next few words, I intentionally raised my voice a little bit, which can be regarded as an indirect explanation to the people around me Concubine Luo Gui didn't summon others, but only summoned her for the reason, even though she knew that it was very likely that it would have no effect at all.

Then, under everyone's surprised, envious or thoughtful eyes, she was led by Citron to a pavilion not far from the repainting hall.

Far away, as expected, Luo Guifei, who was dressed in imperial concubine uniform, was sitting inside, and outside the pavilion stood more than a dozen palace maids and servants.

"The concubine kowtows to the imperial concubine, the empress is a thousand years old!" Lu Mingxuan didn't look sideways, and once entered the pavilion, she saluted Luo Guifei.

Concubine Luo hurriedly ordered Citron to help her up, and said with a smile: "Since I accidentally met you in Shanglin Garden that year when you were in poor health, I feel that I am very close to you, but it is a pity that when you entered the palace before Little, it's all right now, you're going to enter the palace at four o'clock and eighth, and there will be one more person in this palace who can talk."

"The concubine is afraid." Lu Mingxuan replied sternly, "As long as the concubine doesn't think the concubine is boring, the concubine will naturally be willing to talk with the concubine."

Concubine Luo nodded with a smile, then winked at Citron, and Citron ordered the maids and servants standing outside the pavilion to retreat far away. Concubine Luo lowered her voice and asked Lu Mingxuan: "You and Brother Yuan?" But it’s okay, there is no one at home who can help you, everything is going well for you? I have wanted to see you for a long time, but unfortunately I have never found the opportunity... Brother Yuan’s injuries have all healed ?”

Lu Mingxuan did not answer Concubine Luo's question, but said in a low voice: "Since your empress knows that your husband is injured, you should know that the farther you are from him, the safer he will be. Please, my empress, try to care less about your husband in the future. This is the best love you can give to your husband!"

"I care less about him, that's the best way to love him!" Concubine Luo's beautiful face instantly turned pale as paper, and after a long while she smiled miserably and said in a low voice: "You're right, I can only stay as far away as possible!" He, the safer he is, you are right... Don't worry, I will never bother you or him again, I just hope you can treat him well, so that the rest of his life won't be like the previous dozen or so. Years have been so hard..."

Brother Yuan had said this to her before, and when Brother Yuan said it, she could have deceived herself into thinking that he was being angry, but now that his daughter-in-law had said that, how could she continue to deceive herself?
Lu Mingxuan couldn't help but feel a little bit unbearable. After all, Concubine Luo Gui is just a poor mother who desperately wants to make up for her son, but doesn't know how to make up... But what can she do, she can't really let her watch Ling Mengqi being so called by her... Will your "love" be killed?
She could only deeply bow to Concubine Luo: "The concubine will thank the concubine here first, and the concubine will leave!"

Then without waiting for Concubine Luo Gui to speak, she stood up, turned around and went out of the pavilion.

"The concubine is here to thank the concubine first, and the concubine will leave!" Although Lu Mingxuan couldn't bear Concubine Luo's pale face, after all Ling Mengqi was her husband and the most important thing in her life. Naturally, she cared more about Ling Mengqi's sorrows, joys and safety, so she bowed to Concubine Luo immediately, and turned around without looking back.

Only after she walked out of the pavilion a few steps, Citron rushed up from behind, bit her lip with a complicated expression and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty ordered the servant to send Mrs. Ling out of the palace, saying that the servant is the one she needs to use , to be more or less respectable in the palace, so as not to embarrass Madam."

Lu Mingxuan remembered the last time she narrowly escaped death in the palace, hesitated for a moment, but still did not refuse: "In this way, there will be Aunt Lao Citron."

The two walked along the unique yellow tiles and red walls of the palace one after the other towards the palace gate. On the way, Citron endured and endured, but he still couldn't hold back and whispered: "Madam, don't you think that you just Is it too cruel to our mother? In the end, she never had any bad intentions for Brother Yuan, she just wanted to make up for him as much as she could. Madam didn't say that it was just a bond to ease the relationship between mother and child, on the contrary... ...I only hope that Madam can have her own child sooner, and then she will become a mother like our mother, so she will naturally understand the pain in our mother's heart."

These words were extremely blunt, Rao Lu Mingxuan still couldn't help but remain angry because of her single-mindedness, but her face was calm: "Aunt Citron is flattering me too much, what can I do, It can be compared with the imperial concubine, but there is only one thing, I am confident that I can be better than the imperial concubine, and that is..."

As she spoke, she lowered her voice even more, "That's what I will never do in my lifetime, so I will never experience the pain in the heart of the imperial concubine, I will never experience it in my life, and I must disappoint Aunt Citron! "

She just said a few unpleasant heartfelt words to Concubine Luo Gui, and Citron immediately stood up to fight for her injustice, the humiliation and abuse Ling Mengqi suffered, and the life and death hanging by a thread several times, Who should I turn to for justice?
"You!" Citron didn't expect that Lu Mingxuan would turn against her when she said that she would turn against her. She was stunned by her words like a knife, and the knife saw blood, her face flushed and her chest heaved, and only one thought remained in her mind, Empress, that hot spring Zhuangzi and those rare treasures that even the princess is not willing to give are really blind!
After taking several deep breaths, Citron was about to speak when he saw a large group of people approaching from a distance, and the first one surrounded by the crowd was none other than King Ning and his newly married wife a few years ago. Concubine Zhang, obviously the two came to Chonghua Hall to pay New Year greetings to Concubine Luo Guifei after paying homage to the Empress.

Citron's heart tightened suddenly, and he knew that he couldn't continue talking with Lu Mingxuan. The most important thing is that recently His Royal Highness Prince Ning seems to have vaguely known about the matter between Empress and Brother Yuan. His Highness met face to face, but I don't know if His Highness will be suspicious afterwards!

"Ma'am, this is His Royal Highness Ning Wang and the newly married concubine. Seeing this posture, I am afraid they are here to pay New Year's greetings to the concubine. Just keep your head down and don't make a sound. When I salute, you also salute. After your highness and the concubine pass by, I'll take you out again." Citron didn't care about getting angry with Lu Mingxuan anymore, so she hurriedly said in a low voice.
