Chapter 105 Lu Qingrong Visits
Seeing the Empress Dowager acting so recklessly, Emperor Shengwen couldn't help but feel a dull pain in his head again.
The old lady was ostensibly making trouble with him over Feng Xiaolou's position.
In fact, weren't they blaming him for taking away the titles and salaries of Shouning's children?
It's just an excuse to be angry.
The empress dowager knew that although Shouning committed the serious crime of treason, the fact that his two children were able to stay in the Cining Palace and grow up safely was a rare exception.
But the Queen Mother was still not satisfied.
Emperor Shengwen couldn't help but feel resentful.
Shouning's intention to usurp the throne is closely related to the Queen Mother's extraordinary favoritism over the years.
Of course...he himself is not much better in this regard.
He deserved to be forced to abdicate by Shouning.
Spoiling a child is like killing him. The ancients were right.
Fortunately, none of his own children grew up as lawless as Shouning.
Despite this, the prince's thoughts could no longer be hidden.
Being born in heaven, it is a luxury to want the family happiness that ordinary people have.
Emperor Shengwen stared at Feng Xiaolou with gloomy eyes and stood up suddenly.
"Why do you have to be angry over such a small matter, mother? It's just a concubine of the Eastern Palace. Your son agrees!"
Feng Xiaolou pinched himself, then quickly knelt down to express his gratitude with a look of surprise on his face:
"Xiaolou thanks His Majesty for his grace, and thanks to the Empress Dowager for her grace!"
What a pity, the Empress Dowager recommended a concubine, but the Emperor was reluctant to give up the position of a concubine.
Although Feng Xiaolou was disappointed, he was not discouraged.
As long as Chu Hantian's heart is still with her, sooner or later she will ascend to the throne!
Emperor Shengwen's face showed no emotion, he casually flicked his sleeves:
"From now on, you must serve the Crown Prince even more attentively. When the Crown Princess and the two concubines enter the palace, you, as an elder beside the Crown Prince, must not take advantage of his favor and become arrogant and forget your status!"
Feng Xiaolou's face turned pale, and he quickly bowed respectfully:
"Xiao Lou will follow your majesty's instructions!"
When the Empress Dowager saw that Emperor Shengwen had finally given in, her expression relaxed a little.
Just as he was planning to invite Emperor Shengwen to have dinner, he said that he had too many memorials and declined without hesitation.
The Queen Mother watched her son's back as he left, clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and the gloom in her heart gradually grew.
Shouning's rebellion eventually created a rift between the mother and son.
The emperor blames her for spoiling Shouning!
The Queen Mother's eyes were slightly red and her heart felt a little blocked.
If we had known this would happen, it would have been better for the mother and her two children to continue living in the cold palace instead of sitting on the dragon throne in the Golden Palace, then there wouldn't have been so many troubles.
Seeing this, Feng Xiaolou quickly said softly to the Queen Mother:
"Empress Dowager, let Xiaolou rub your shoulders again."
The Queen Mother leaned back on the cushion, her face filled with boredom.
"I am indeed not feeling well. Please pass on my order and let Ning Xin return to the palace tomorrow!"
Calculating the time, Ning Xin has been in Dingbei Palace for more than a month, so Yue Yuan should have been fine by now.
When the empress dowager thought of the scene on the day of the palace coup where Yue Ran knocked Shou Ning down and forced Shou Ning to surrender, she couldn't help but feel hatred welling up in her heart.
As a result, resentment towards Emperor Shengwen also increased.
What would happen now if Yue Ran hadn't knocked Shou Ning's dagger down?
At most, Shouning would kidnap her three hundred miles away, and she would suffer some injustice, but at least Shouning would not die.
No, the emperor shouldn't have pretended to be sick from the beginning!
If the emperor had not concealed the fact that he was pretending to be ill from his relatives, Shouning would not have rebelled.
Why are you pretending to be sick when you are fine?
Feng Xiaolou massaged the empress dowager's shoulders and saw the hatred in the corner of her eyes. He couldn't help but smile slightly.
However, when Feng Xiaolou thought about Emperor Shengwen mentioning the Crown Princess just now, his heart sank again.
Why does this emperor never die?
Just now when Emperor Shengwen was sitting next to the Empress Dowager, she secretly made some moves.
If Emperor Shengwen is still fine this time, it only means that he has an extraordinary life-saving magical object on him.
Feng Xiaolou bit his lip hard as he thought about the miracle he had missed.
Nine times out of ten, it’s that thing!
It’s hateful that if one of Yue Ran and Emperor Shengwen had died as planned, she wouldn’t have been forced into this predicament. It should have been accomplished long ago.
Pear Blossom Lane.
When someone knocked on the door of the Lu family's residence, the young doorman did not expect that the person standing outside the door was not a servant from another family, but a beautiful middle-aged woman who was dressed very elegantly and luxuriously.
He opened his eyes wide in surprise, then asked politely without realizing it:
"Madam, may I ask who you are and what business do you have in coming to the Lu residence?"
Behind the beautiful middle-aged woman were several maids holding gifts, and it was obvious that they were here to visit.
The beautiful woman in fox fur pursed her lips and smiled, then spoke softly:
"Please inform the head of the family and tell him that Qingrong is here to meet his brothers and sisters-in-law."
The doorman looked confused. An older doorman came over and pulled him behind him. Then he bowed to the beautiful middle-aged woman with a smile.
"It turned out to be Miss Qingrong."
"The head of the family and the third master haven't woken up yet. Now only the third lady is in the main hall."
Lu Qingrong's eyes moved slightly, and she smiled again, "Then please let her know. I haven't seen my third sister-in-law for many years."
Ever since Qi learned that Lu Qingrong also lived in Lihua Lane, she had been secretly on guard.
After hearing the report from the concierge, she tapped the table lightly with her finger and said coldly:
"Let her in!"
If Feng Xiaolou is related to the demon fetus, then there will be a big problem with his mother Lu Qingrong.
Qi held the fine steel Buddhist beads in her hand, and a hint of coldness appeared on her gentle face.
She was born in Anxi. A hundred years ago, a demon fetus appeared in the capital of Anxi, triggering a siege of the city by demons and a rebellion by orcs. This directly destroyed the century-old foundation of Anxi, and now it is just a small border country.
Everyone in Anxi hates the evil fetus.
If she could have been born a hundred years earlier, she would have joined the people of that time in resisting the national disaster brought about by the demon fetus.
If she finds anything wrong with Lu Qingrong today, she doesn't mind killing him on the spot.
While he was thinking, he saw a beautiful woman with bright eyes and white teeth walking outside the hall.
Qi looked at Lu Qingrong carefully, recalling the face she had seen several times many years ago. Between her eyebrows and eyes there was indeed the outline of the taciturn girl back then.
If there is any difference, it is probably the various charms that the woman in front of him has been endowed with by time.
Lu Qingrong's skin is even more delicate than that of a little girl, and she has absolutely no eye wrinkles or spots.
"Third sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still the same."
Lu Qingrong calmly let Qi look at her.
When she saw the fine steel Buddhist beads that Qi had casually placed on the coffee table, the corner of her eye twitched slightly.
What Lu Qingrong remembered most about Qi was that she looked delicate and lively, but could easily crush a table.
She's a real woman of extraordinary strength.
Nearly twenty years have passed, and I'm afraid this woman's strange power is even stronger than before.
Qi smiled faintly:
"You are a little different. The clan leader and my husband are still drunk today. If you have nothing to do..."
Lu Qingrong raised her eyes somewhat sadly:
"We are all women, does Third Sister-in-law look down on me as much as men do?"
Qi lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea:
"A woman is to obey her husband when she gets married. I will naturally obey my husband in everything."
From the time they met until now, when she deliberately drove the guest away, Lu Qingrong's aura was as peaceful and delicate as ever.
Is it really that Yue Ran is too suspicious?
Just at this moment, there was a sudden sound of young people chattering outside the hall.
"Yue Ziyu, we have agreed that we will go to your farm this afternoon!"
Four or five young boys and girls swarmed into the living room without being notified.
Lu Qingrong turned her eyes to the handsome young men and women, and finally looked at the oldest and most stable boy among them, and smiled sweetly.
