Chapter 64 064: Seize the opportunity

  After the old lady was alone with the concubine Zhen, she couldn't wait to ask: "Why do you like Lu Mingzhu so much?"

  Concubine Zhen saw the displeasure in the eyes of the old lady, and instead of speaking directly, she asked, "What's the matter, mother?"

"You don't know in the palace that Liu's mother and daughter are not a good couple. As soon as you return to the mansion, your brother jumps up and down to help her upright. You said that you asked an outsider to be the mistress of the Lu family. What's the face of the Lu family? I finally managed to suppress this matter. Lu Mingzhu first got involved with a foreigner in Hua'an Temple. Fortunately, only the people in the house knew about it and did not spread it. But it has not been peaceful for a few days. A while ago, I was at the banquet of Qin's family in front of all the guests. A private letter with Xiao Muheng fell out of her face. Your brother wanted to keep her, but she only wanted to ask your brother to help her and Xiao Muheng. She had no choice but to tell the outside world that she and Xiao Muheng had a long-standing marriage contract, so that she would not be taken as a joke. , you were grounded in the North Courtyard until you came back, and if you hold it today, this girl will probably feel arrogant."

The old lady told the concubine Zhen her dissatisfaction with the Liu family and Lu Mingzhu like beans in a bamboo tube. In front of her daughter, she didn't need to hide it. If she didn't make it clear, one day Lu Mingzhu would harm Zhenzhen again On my concubine's body, the bowels of that regret are green.

"Mother, to tell you the truth, I don't like Liu's mother and daughter. You are struggling in the palace. The Lu family will not say how much help you have been outside, but they will definitely not hold you back. Pearl should be more cautious."

  The concubine Zhen stared in surprise, but after a moment of confusion, she regained her composure: "Mother, if she was just an ordinary concubine, I wouldn't value her so much..."

   What a shrewd person the old lady is, she immediately understood what the concubine Zhen said, and she didn't talk too much, listening to the concubine Zhen continue.

"Mingzhu gave me a gift when she just returned home, a landscape screen. The embroidery work is even more outstanding than that of the needle money bureau in the palace. Concubine Shu came to my palace one day and saw it and couldn't put it down, so I put it down. I gave it to Concubine Shu, so Concubine Shu often asks me to talk to her. Mother, I have no children under my knees. I am afraid that the concubine will come to an end. Concubine Shu is a distant relative of the Empress Dowager. I must seize this opportunity to be attached to Concubine Shu, otherwise One day when the emperor gets tired of me, I'm afraid I will be unable to move an inch in the palace."

  The emperor's favor is not unlimited, and the concubine Zhen clearly understands that she can only find a way out for herself while she still has the grace.

  The old lady frowned fiercely, and did not speak for a long time.

  Although she says nothing in this harem, she knows a thing or two about the cruelty of harem disputes even if she has never experienced it. The concubine Zhen has been in the palace for many years, since she said so, she must have a reason.

   "Are you sure Concubine Shu is reliable? No matter how honorable the Empress Dowager is, the Empress Dowager is the master in the harem."

"I've thought about it over and over again. Although the Empress Dowager is in the middle palace, she is already the emperor's third empress. She is a dwarf in her successor, has no heirs, and is not favored by the emperor. She is equal to Concubine Shu in the harem However, the second prince born to Concubine Shu is the head of all the princes, and with no legitimate son and no eldest son, there is a great hope of succeeding to the throne, and Concubine Shu's position will definitely overwhelm the empress."

  Concubines in the harem, she is not the only one who is waiting to make a choice, some people have made a choice early, and some people don't participate in the battle and just live their own lives, but now that they have entered the palace, who doesn't want to stand out?

The old lady took a deep look at the concubine Zhen, took her hand and trembled slightly: "If you take one wrong step, you will fall into the abyss of ten thousand battles, Qing'er, you must not be aggressive, there is nothing wrong with being safe. "

  Concubine Shu fights with the queen, and the concubines standing behind them are undoubtedly betting their lives.

  The old lady doesn't want much glory for the Lu family, but only wants her daughter to live safely.

  Hearing the old lady calling her name, the concubine Zhen was slightly moved: "Mother, my daughter understands." She softly comforted the old lady's frightened mood.

  …

  The news of Concubine Zhen’s return was not concealed, and people who heard the news came to the door with heavy gifts. Because Lu Youping went to Jiangcheng to seek favor with Emperor Chengde, Concubine Zhen was no longer in the mansion before she came back.

  Compared to being reunited with my sister, it is obviously more beneficial for me to flatter the emperor.

  The front of the Lu Mansion is full of people, and there is an endless stream of exquisite and gorgeous carriages. They come and go, come and go, every day without stopping, and wave after wave of precious gifts are sent into the Lu Mansion.

  The guests who came to the door discovered an interesting thing. When the concubine concubine met the guest, it was not Lu Xiang, the concubine daughter, but Lu Mingzhu, the concubine daughter, who showed infinite love for her in her speech and behavior.

   In this way, everyone reached a consensus in their hearts, and the concubine Lu Mingzhu attached great importance to it.

   Be good, this little concubine is so capable, the concubine Zhen doesn't even care about the embarrassing things she did in the Qin Mansion earlier.

  Although the magistrate Lu threatened afterwards that he and Xiao Muheng had a long-standing engagement, the two were unmarried couples, so there was no such thing as an affair. It's just that there are always some people who know that Lu Youping's statement is just a fig leaf to save face. There is an affair first, and then a marriage contract.

  But what the concubine Zhen did made those who had sarcasm towards Lu Mingzhu instantly change their minds. They didn't dare to despise Lu Mingzhu any more, and instead saw her licking all the smiling faces by the concubine Zhen.

  Looking at the smiling faces in front of her, Lu Mingzhu let out a bad breath in her heart.

  At the beginning, these ladies and ladies dismissed her, but now she is their existence to please them in every possible way, so how can she not feel proud?

  Liu even took this opportunity to show her presence in front of the ladies.

  Seeing the old lady's aggrieved but forced concubine Zhen bring the pearl to meet the guests, she felt a burst of joy in her heart.

  Hehe, even if she is not allowed to become the mistress of the Lu family, her position in the Lu family will be unbreakable from now on.

"Third sister is really laid-back. Lu Mingzhu is in the limelight. People say that the daughter of the Lu family is incompetent. Otherwise, how could the concubine would rather support a concubine than bring her to meet guests? Even I would listen to her." If we don't go down, the third sister will still be as stable as Mount Tai."

  Lu Xiang was being dragged by Qiao Jingru to play chess, when suddenly there was an exasperated and coquettish shout, breaking the tranquility and beauty of the yard.

   "They are all sisters of my own family, so there is no need to worry about so much."

  Qiao Jingru almost couldn't hold back her laughter, this guy can also pretend, obviously he and Lu Mingzhu are fighting to the death, but they just want to pretend to be magnanimous.

"Third Sister's words are nice, why are my sisters perfunctory me like this?" Lu Qiao was so jealous when she saw Lu Mingzhu showing off like this, she thought that Lu Xiang would be angry, but she didn't actively try to please her, but instead She nestled in the Qixia courtyard every day, and never showed up unless she was absolutely necessary.

   Lu Qiao was so anxious that she finally couldn't help but want to sow discord.
