After killing four concubines, the queen was sentenced to death and reborn

Zheng Xiyan's eyes fell silently on Lu Lingyuan. In this imperial garden full of flowers, it added a bit of unworldliness. In Zheng Xiyan's eyes, a trace of imperceptible appreciation and satisfaction flashed.

Zheng Xiyan raised her eyelids slightly, her eyes were filled with profound meaning, and she winked at Biluo who was standing beside her. Biluo immediately understood, bowed respectfully, walked forward lightly, and said in a thin but clear voice: "Madam, what can I do for you?"

Zheng Xiyan raised a faint smile and whispered, "Biluo, please keep an eye out and find a suitable opportunity to quietly bring the eldest daughter of the Lu family to me."

"I obey your command." Biluo responded quickly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Shuyue and Xiao Chengyi also came to the Imperial Garden. They walked forward and sat beside Zheng Xiyan, one on the left and one on the right. With these two lively people, the atmosphere at the table became cheerful.

After a while, a slight rubbing sound of clothes broke the silence around them. Xiao Chengji slowly stood up and bowed to Zheng Xiyan. His words were full of respect: "Mother, I still have many political affairs to attend to. I am afraid I can't stay with you for long. I will take my leave first."

Zheng Xiyan nodded gently and said softly: "State affairs are more important, you go, and take care of yourself."

"Your son will take his leave!" Xiao Chengji responded and strode out of the imperial garden.

"Congratulations to your royal brother!"

For a moment, the atmosphere in the Imperial Garden seemed to become subtle. Everyone stood up and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, I send you off!" Amidst the kneeling, many women's eyes still followed Xiao Chengji's receding back involuntarily, their eyes flashing with admiration. Among all the eyes, Lu Lingyuan's eyes seemed particularly indifferent, as if nothing in the world could disturb her peace.

Not long after Xiao Chengji left, Zheng Xiyan slowly stood up and said in a deep voice: "I am also tired, please do as you please!"

"Yes, send off the Queen Mother!"

"Goodbye, mother!" Xiao Shuyue and Xiao Chengyi were the ones who loved to join in the fun. Now that their mother and brother were gone, they were naturally happy to see it.

In an instant, the female relatives swarmed towards Xiao Shuyue and surrounded her to flatter her. Xiao Shuyue knew what they were thinking but did not expose them.

Xiao Chengyi and a few of his good friends from the royal family went to the paddock to race horses!

Lu Lingyuan sat at the table, quietly alone, muttering to herself that this banquet was really boring.

Given Lu Lingyuan's status, naturally there were people who came forward to make friends with her. Throughout the whole process, she responded politely and distantly.

"Miss Lu, those are peonies blooming over there. I heard that His Majesty ordered the gardeners to cultivate them carefully. Let's go and take a look!" one of the girls suggested.

"Yes! I heard that the peony blooms very brightly and is very beautiful!" another girl echoed.

Lu Lingyuan's eyes changed slightly. Thinking of her mother's instructions, she smiled and declined. "No, you guys go! I'm not feeling well, so I'll wait for you guys here!"

"Hmm..." When they saw Lu Lingyuan politely declined, a hint of embarrassment flashed across their faces.

"Well...well then! Miss Lu, you should have a good rest!" After that, they went to the peony garden.

Lu Lingyuan raised her eyes and looked towards the male guests, but did not see Cui Zhaoling.

After a while, there were not many people at the table. Xiao Shuyue suddenly felt like playing polo, so everyone followed her to the paddock.

The next second, Shuang Ning came in with a few palace maids and took everyone at the banquet away one by one.

Lu Lingyuan realized something was wrong and stood up gracefully, then saw the Queen Mother walking in with a smile on her face.

"Your servant pays his respects to the Empress Dowager!" Lu Lingyuan bowed calmly and calmly.

"No need to be so polite!" Zheng Xiyan gave her a little support and looked at her with a meaningful look.

"I originally wanted to summon you alone, but you have been staying here and I couldn't find a chance, so I had to come to see you in person." Zheng Xiyan said with a smile. This girl is too vigilant and cautious.

"If the Empress Dowager wants to summon me, just give the order and I will obey!" Lu Lingyuan was neither humble nor arrogant throughout the whole process, and she knew how to strike a good balance, which made Zheng Xiyan more satisfied with her.
