Three days later.
Lu Xiaoxiao was still sleeping in the quilt when she was suddenly woken up by Bai Zhi.
Seeing Bai Zhi's anxious expression, Lu Xiaoxiao rubbed her eyes, barely woke up, and subconsciously asked: "Bai Zhi, what happened?"
Bai Zhi knelt on the ground and said anxiously: "An aunt came to the mansion. She came out of the palace and said that the queen wanted to bring the master into the palace."
Lu Xiaoxiao: ???
Lu Xiaoxiao was completely confused.
Why did the Queen suddenly want her to enter the palace?
"Where is your highness?"
Lu Xiaoxiao lifted the quilt and quickly got up from the couch, "Bai Zhi, what time is it now? Is His Highness in the mansion?"
Bai Zhi: "It's just past noon, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to the palace for the morning court and hasn't returned yet."
After hearing that, Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a little nervous since His Highness was not here.
She seems to have been very well behaved these past few days. She hasn't caused any trouble for His Highness, right?
It was nothing more than that when His Highness came over last night, she gave His Highness an ugly undergarment. At that time, His Highness clearly said that he liked it very much. It is impossible for the Queen Mother to interfere in this matter, right?
Oh no, His Highness is still in the palace, and he couldn't send anyone back to give her a message. I guess the Queen must have suddenly decided to see her...
The more flustered she was, the calmer Lu Xiaoxiao became: "Bai Zhi, hurry up, help me dress up, don't keep that aunt waiting for too long."
"Yes, Master!"
Bai Zhi quickly stood up and swiftly helped her master change clothes and wash up, and she did not forget to say, "By the way, Master, the Concubine just sent Miss Qingcong over to tell you not to worry and not to be afraid. The Concubine will accompany you into the palace this time."
"real!?"
Hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiao reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that her sister, the concubine, was reliable and could share the same hardships!
Bai Zhi: "I dare not deceive my master."
Bai Zhi was deft and quickly dressed up her master. "Master, you can go out now."
"Okay, let's go."
Lu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and encouraged herself in her heart. No matter what the Queen wanted to do, she would just fight back against it.
I hope that this time when she enters the palace, she will still meet the same gentle queen as before.
Lu Xiaoxiao brought Bai Zhi out of the room.
When she raised her eyes, she saw Aunt Yincong standing in the yard.
Lu Xiaoxin was a little surprised, but she didn't show it on her face.
She walked forward quickly, smiled calmly and said, "No wonder I could hear the magpie calling outside today. It turns out that Aunt Yincong is here."
Aunt Yincong had a stern face, but when she heard this, she smiled a little, "This servant greets Master Liangyuan. This servant received the Queen's order and came here to take Master Liangyuan into the palace."
"Thank you, Aunt Lao Yincong."
Judging from Aunt Yincong's expression, it shouldn't be a bad thing. Maybe the Queen suddenly remembered her as the Prince's consort?
Lu Xiaoxiao felt a little relieved.
Aunt Yincong: "If Master Liangyuan is ready, then please follow me."
"The carriage is waiting outside the mansion."
Lu Xiaoxiao nodded, and then secretly gave Bai Zhi a look: Didn’t you say that the concubine sister will also enter the palace with us?
Bai Zhi frowned, also looking confused.
She raised her head and looked back at her master, signaling with her eyes: This is what Miss Qingcong told this servant.
Lu Xiaoxiao: “…”
If that doesn't work, she'll have to rely on improvisation.
This time when entering the palace, Lu Xiaoxiao only brought Bai Zhi with her.
Just as she reached the gate of the mansion and was about to get on the carriage, she suddenly heard a voice called "Sister Lu". Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly lit up, she stopped what she was doing and turned around abruptly.
Seeing Concubine Xiao walking towards her quickly, Lu Xiaoxiao was delighted and a little excited: "Sister Concubine, why did you come out?"
Concubine Xiao came over with Qingcong. With a smile on her face, she said to Aunt Yincong who was standing next to the carriage, "It has been a long time since I have been to the palace to accompany my mother. Today, I heard that my aunt was visiting, so I thought of taking a ride with her and going to the palace to see my mother. What do you think?"
Concubine Xiao seemed surprised to see Lu Xiaoxiao here. "Just now I saw from the back that it looked like Sister Lu. It turns out it really is her."
Lu Xiaoxiao: "...Yes."
Sister Concubine, the drama is over.
Aunt Yincong didn't expect Concubine Xiao to come out.
Hearing what Concubine Xiao said, Aunt Yincong found it difficult to refuse. After all, she was the Crown Prince's concubine, of noble status, and had a token to enter the palace. The Crown Prince's concubine could enter the palace whenever she wanted, without having to ask for her opinion.
Aunt Yincong bowed politely and said, "If the Queen knew that the Concubine had entered the palace, she would definitely be very happy."
Concubine Xiao smiled and said, "Then let's go to the palace together."
After Concubine Xiao got on the carriage, Lu Xiaoxiao followed.
Aunt Yincong, Baizhi and Qingcong were sitting in the carriage at the back.
Lu Xiaoxiao sat next to Concubine Xiao.
Holding the red bean cake she handed over, Lu Xiaoxiao lowered her head and took a bite. The sweet taste melted in her mouth, and her mood immediately became much happier.
She curved her eyes, with a smile in them, and leaned almost entirely on Concubine Xiao, and said in a sticky voice, "Are you worried about letting me enter the palace, Concubine?"
Concubine Xiao really liked her being coquettish towards her, and her voice became much gentler, "The ladies in the palace are not good people. If I'm not watching you, once you meet those masters and ladies, I'm afraid you will suffer a loss without knowing why."
"Sister Concubine, you are still the best to me!"
Lu Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
Although she felt that she entered the palace only because the Empress invited her, as long as she stayed in Feng'an Palace, there would be no blind Empress who would insist on making her presence felt in front of her.
Concubine Xiao was helpless: "You, don't be so silly all day long. No matter what happens, you have to be more careful. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't stay by your side and protect you all the time."
"Mmmmmmm!"
Lu Xiaoxiao nodded obediently and said, "Don't worry, Concubine Sister, I know everything."
The carriages moved slowly, and after about quarter of an hour, the two carriages entered the palace gate and headed towards Feng'an Palace.
"The Concubine and Master Liangyuan have already arrived at Feng'an Palace."
Aunt Yincong got off the carriage first and stood beside the front carriage and shouted in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Xiao and Lu Xiaoxiao, who were sitting in the carriage, looked at each other, and then Concubine Xiao responded with a "OK".
After Concubine Xiao and Lu Xiaoxiao got off the carriage, they followed Aunt Yincong into the main hall.
The Queen Mother was sitting in the palace taking a nap.
Aunt Yincong walked forward, stood beside the Queen, leaned over and whispered, "Your Majesty, the Concubine and Master Liangyuan are here."
"I pay my respects to my mother."
"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen."
Concubine Xiao and Lu Xiaoxiao knelt down and saluted at the same time.
[It has been a long time since we last met. The Queen is still as beautiful and radiant as ever! ]
[I just don’t know why the Queen summoned me to the palace. Now that His Highness is not here, I can only act according to circumstances with my sister, the concubine! ]
Hearing the familiar voice again, the queen slowly opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes moving with a faint smile: "Shu Yi is here too?"
"Get up, stop kneeling, and sit down."
"Someone, serve tea."
Soon a palace maid brought over tea.
Concubine Xiao and Lu Xiaoxiao sat down.
Concubine Xiao has been to the palace many times and understands the Queen's temperament. If one does not deliberately offend the Queen, the Queen will not take action. She has a gentle temperament, very similar to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Lu Xiaoxiao held the teacup in her hand without saying a word, but she was secretly agitated in her heart, thinking about this and that: [By the way, does the Queen know about Wanpin's plan? ]
The Queen's eyes paused slightly.
"!!!"
Concubine Xiao was a little surprised, but didn't dare show it.
She glanced at her mother's expression calmly, then quickly looked away, thinking to herself: My mother was plotted against? When did it happen?
The palace was too quiet, the Queen and the Concubine were silent, she couldn't sit still, so she opened the system to read the gossip:
[Oh, it turns out that the Queen has seen through Wanpin's plan and even sent someone to warn her. I guess Wanpin won't have any bad intentions in the near future! ]
[Noble Lady Yu's fetus is doing well, there is no major problem, it's just a pity, Noble Lady Yu wanted a prince, but this time she will give birth to a princess...]
[Actually, the princess is pretty cute, so why did she have to give birth to a prince? ]
[It's impossible that you are still thinking of snatching it from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, right? ]
Listening to Lu Xiaoxiao's mumbling in her heart, the queen was shocked. She -
How could Lu Xiaoxiao even know in advance that Concubine Yu would give birth to a princess?
No, Yu Gui is only three months pregnant, and the baby in her belly must not have taken shape yet. How can Lu Xiaoxiao be so sure?
The queen was confused and wanted to ask but didn't dare to, so she could only hold it in uncomfortably.
However, Concubine Xiao had long been accustomed to Lu Xiaoxiao's predictive ability, and what Lu Xiaoxiao said must be true.
"It's still a bit quieter here."
The queen couldn't help but speak first, looking at Lu Xiaoxiao with a smile on her face, "I always like lively occasions, I wonder if Shuyi and Xiaoxiao want to listen to the opera?"
"Two days ago, His Majesty sent someone to invite the best opera troupe in the capital to the palace, saying that he wanted me to listen to the opera to relieve my boredom. It happens that you are all here today, so why don't we listen to the opera first?"
The troupe is made up of women, so it's okay to let them enter the harem to perform.
"Listening to an opera?"
Concubine Xiao subconsciously glanced at Lu Xiaoxiao and saw that her eyes were sparkling and vaguely filled with joy. She thought that Sister Lu must like to listen to operas, so she said, "Okay, then I'll trouble the Queen Mother to arrange it."
Lu Xiaoxiao also agreed: "I will obey the Queen."
"it is good."
The Queen said with a smile: "Yincong, go and invite the troupe over, and send a few people to call the Four Concubines, as well as Noble Lady Yu, Noble Lady An, and Concubine Wan to come and listen to the opera together."
For the sake of harmonious coexistence in the harem, the four concubines must be invited. As for the last three, the Queen Mother would like Lu Xiaoxiao to meet them again.
"Yes, ma'am."
Upon hearing this, the round-faced palace maid turned and left.
Aunt Yincong soon came over with the opera troupe, which was almost all women of ordinary appearance, but they had pretty good figures.
The four concubines arrived not slow either.
"I am honored to meet Her Majesty the Queen. Which play would you like to hear?"
Concubine Shu was dressed up beautifully, and the pink palace dress made her look even more beautiful.
The virtuous concubine and the good concubine got along best with each other. They both had only one princess and no prince, and they had a good sisterly relationship. When they saw the queen, they did not show off but simply bowed to her properly.
Defei was even more arrogant than Shufei. She relied entirely on her good family background. Except for the Empress, she did not take the concubines in the harem seriously at all.
But after so many years, Concubine De has never given birth to a child for the emperor.
After entering the main hall, Concubine De bowed to the Empress in a very perfunctory manner and then sat down by herself.
The Queen glanced at Concubine De and said nothing.
Noble Lady Yu, Noble Lady An, and Concubine Wan had not arrived yet, but the Queen did not care. "Your Majesty invited a troupe of actors, but he has been busy with government affairs, so the troupe has not started yet. I thought of inviting all the sisters to come and listen to the opera to liven things up."
"My queen is thoughtful."
The virtuous concubine said.
Concubine Liang said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for still thinking of me."
Concubine De snorted lightly.
Concubine Shu tucked her lips with a handkerchief, not knowing what the Empress was planning.
She raised her eyelids, feeling somewhat disdainful, but accidentally glanced at the woman sitting next to her——
Lu Xiaoxiao?
She hadn't noticed just now that the Queen actually summoned Lu Xiaoxiao to the palace! ? ?
Concubine Shu's face suddenly darkened.
At the beginning, she clearly wanted to send Lu Xiaoxiao to the Crown Prince to seduce him, but now, not only did Lu Xiaoxiao fail to complete the task she assigned to her, she even teamed up with the Crown Prince to murder her eldest prince!
This ungrateful guy deserves to die!
Seeing Lu Xiaoxiao appearing in front of her, Concubine Shu was so angry that she wanted to send someone to kill her immediately!
But it was not possible at this time. She couldn't do it in front of the Queen.
The Queen has always favored His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and she would never allow herself to humiliate Lu Xiaoxiao in front of her.
I could only hold back my anger.
The malice of Concubine Shu was too overwhelming for Lu Xiaoxiao to ignore. She resisted the urge to look back and silently turned to the story about Concubine Shu.
As long as she eats the melon fast enough, the malice can't catch up with her!
[I didn't expect that Concubine Shu had a lover before entering the palace. Unfortunately, her lover didn't marry her, so she angrily chose to enter the palace and become the emperor's woman.]
[However, seven days ago, Concubine Shu's lover returned to Beijing and managed to write a love letter to Concubine Shu through her parents' home? ? ]
[No way, could it be that Concubine Shu is thinking of rekindling her old love with her sweetheart? ]
【etc--】
[It’s incredible, I can actually eat a big melon! ! ]
Lu Xiaoxiao was completely stunned.
She swallowed, and for a moment, she wondered if there was something wrong with her eyes.
[Ah ...
[The eldest prince is not His Majesty’s biological son at all. Concubine Shu was already pregnant for a month before entering the palace. The eldest prince’s biological father is actually Concubine Shu’s beloved man——]
Queen:? ? ?
Concubine Xiao: ???
Xie Xi, who had just walked into the main hall: ???
