Chapter 112: Eat melon and eat it on yourself
Chapter 112: Eat melon and eat it on yourself
Especially regarding the affairs of Jingyang Marquis Mansion, she has been busy recently and has not paid much attention to it.
However, it must be said that Liu Anran still has some means. Look, he can even get Jing Zhaoyan to go before the Queen Mother and ask for the imperial decree to grant the marriage.
But Liu Anran is really ignorant of herself. Doesn't she know that the Queen Mother hates her? She still asks Jing Zhaoyan to ask for the imperial decree to grant the marriage. This is really asking for humiliation.
And as for Haiyue, it seems that she cannot compare to Liu Anran in terms of either means or weight.
Fortunately, she was decisive enough and escaped from the quagmire of Jingyang Marquis Mansion early.
Lu Chenshuang came to the Queen Mother's palace, but unexpectedly the eldest princess and the Queen were there.
Lu Chenshuang had no choice but to step forward and salute them one by one.
Before Lu Chenshuang finished her greetings, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "Alright, I know you don't like these empty formalities, so stop bowing."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chenshuang smiled and thanked the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother looked at Lu Chenshuang's radiant face and knew that she was living a good life after the divorce.
So she sighed, "It seems that Shuang'er has been having a really good time recently. You haven't come to see me for such a long time. I thought you had forgotten about me, an old woman."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chenshuang quickly apologized, "Your Majesty, what you said is really heartbreaking. I was thinking of preparing a few bottles of good medicine to honor you.
Since the Queen Mother doesn't want it, who should I give it to?"
The queen beside him heard this and quickly said, "Since the queen mother doesn't like it, then give it to me.
I have been thinking about her for a long time. Look at my sister, she is older than me. Since she took your health pills, her complexion is much better than mine."
The Queen Mother's face darkened when she heard this.
Seeing this, the princess came out to smooth things over and said, "Okay, Shuang'er, don't tease the Queen Mother anymore. Be careful or she'll get Madam Fang to kick you out of Shoukang Palace with a big stick."
Why don't you take out some of your good things and honor the Queen Mother."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chenshuang quickly took out a few bottles of pills from her sleeve and handed them to the Queen Mother respectfully, then said, "Queen Mother, please forgive me this time.
I spent several days in the pharmacy to make these health pills and beauty pills.
Especially this beauty pill, after taking it, it can make people's skin delicate and white.
When the time comes, when you stand together with the Princess and the Queen, you won't look like mother and daughter, but sisters."
Lu Chenshuang's words made the empress dowager feel itchy.
There is no woman who does not love beauty, and no woman who is not afraid of aging, even the empress dowager is no exception.
The Queen Mother glanced at Lu Chenshuang and pretended to be angry and asked: "Is this beauty pill really as good as you said?"
Lu Chenshuang nodded affirmatively. The elixir she developed was certainly effective.
Apart from anything else, there is absolutely no problem in whitening and refining pores.
The Queen Mother then took it with a smile in her eyes and said: "You are a girl with a little conscience, so I will accept it with reluctance."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chenshuang quickly thanked her, fearing that she would anger the old lady again.
Looking at Lu Chenshuang's funny appearance, the Queen Mother felt relieved and comfortable.
The women in the room naturally started gossiping again.
The queen was the first to speak: "Mother, Princess Zhuoyang came to my palace yesterday."
The Queen Mother's face flashed with disgust when she heard this, and she asked coldly, "What is she doing in your palace? Isn't she going to gossip?"
The queen shook her head and said, “No, there was a problem between her and Zhuoyang County Horse.
She said that Zhuoyang County Horse went out to drink wine and had an affair with the maids in the mansion. He didn't take her, the county lord, seriously at all. "
The Queen Mother snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Good is rewarded with good, and evil is punished with evil. I never thought that she would have this day."
Upon hearing this, the queen immediately lowered her head and dared not say another word.
She heard from the emperor about how Princess Zhuoyang had set a trap for the eldest princess and the son of Marquis Chenyang.
But this is an old matter, and no one can say anything without evidence.
Even if there is evidence, there is no way to punish Princess Zhuoyang in a big way.
Because this matter not only concerns the reputation of the royal family, but also involves Duke Rong.
He and the eldest princess are now deeply in love, so naturally they don't want to cause any trouble.
The Emperor told the Queen this matter so that she would be on guard against Princess Zhuoyang and not get too close to her.
Although the Queen was shocked when she heard it, she was more moved.
She was touched that the emperor could tell her such a big thing, which showed that he really cared about her and truly regarded her as his wife.
You have to know that the emperor and the eldest princess are sisters from the same mother. The eldest princess was seriously injured for the emperor. In his heart, the eldest princess is probably more important than the empress dowager.
Now that the emperor can tell the eldest princess the most unbearable past, it shows the emperor's trust in her.
Coupled with Lu Chenshuang's initial enlightenment, the queen's temperament has become much more cheerful since then, and she would occasionally compete with other concubines and get jealous.
The emperor was very happy with her transformation and now spends at least half a month in his palace.
As we met more often, our relationship naturally grew better and better.
The queen was so absorbed in her own thoughts that she didn't even hear what the queen mother said.
Seeing that the queen was distracted in front of her, the queen mother snorted and said, "Queen, I am talking to you, can you hear me?"
The queen came back to her senses and asked embarrassedly, "Mother, what did you just say?"
The Queen Mother rolled her eyes helplessly and said, "I say you should pay less attention to people like Zhuo Yang in the future, lest she sets a trap for you by playing both sides."
Upon hearing this, the Queen quickly stood up and saluted, saying, "Thank you for your teachings, Mother. I will remember this and will definitely be on guard against her in the future."
The Queen Mother then nodded with satisfaction.
Then the Queen Mother started talking about gossip about other families.
Lu Chenshuang was amazed as she listened. This empress dowager was the one who never left the palace and knew all the gossip in the world.
For example, a certain official's concubine eloped with someone, a certain son had an affair with his stepmother, and a certain daughter fought with each other because of jealousy.
Lu Chenshuang was enjoying herself eating melons on a small stool when the Queen Mother suddenly changed the subject and said, "I heard Shuang'er has been very good lately."
Lu Chenshuang's eyelids twitched. What happened to her?
Seeing this, the eldest princess smiled and said, "I heard that Shuang'er went back to the Lu Mansion a few days ago, punched her vicious aunt, kicked her arrogant concubine sister, argued with her father, and defended her mother. She became famous in one battle."
Lu Chenshuang: . . . . .
This is such a huge melon, and the eldest princess’s summary is quite accurate.
But that’s not the case. How come they were eating melons and ended up eating them themselves? And who spread these things?
Seeing Lu Chenshuang's dazed look, the princess smiled and said, "It seems that these rumors are true."
Lu Chenshuang came back to her senses and said, "No way, Princess, please don't talk nonsense. I didn't touch Han at all."
The eldest princess and the others burst into laughter again when they heard this.
