Chapter 115
"What?!" Xia Rongxin opened her eyes and stared at Rongfu, "Say it again!"
"Lu... Lu Huiling was favored at the Qinzheng Hall last night, and today he entered the Minghua Hall and was named... Ming Fei..." Rongfu said again fearfully.
"What..." Xia Rongxin stood up in confusion and walked towards Rongfu step by step, "Lu Huiling was canonized as a concubine? On an equal footing with me...?"
Xia Rongxin's eyes were filled with tears and her expression was sad: "Unexpectedly, yesterday...the day when I was supposed to come to see this palace...the emperor didn't come...and he was actually with Lu Huiling."
Rongfu also knelt on the ground with a sad look on his face. Not to mention he was just a slave, but his master's honor and favor also had a great relationship with him. Yunxi listened outside the door and was worried that something might happen to Concubine Mei, so she hurried in and knelt down to wait. With.
"Ming Fei..." Xia Rongxin stood there blankly, her usually straight back gradually bent. She was too tired and could no longer pretend to be in high spirits in front of everyone in the harem, "That is Lu Furshuang's posthumous title... The emperor is indeed still Do you love her?"
Lu Fushuang was posthumously named Empress Mingxian. Minghua Hall was built between Qianning Palace and Qinzheng Palace to commemorate Empress Mingxian.
Over the years, ever since the posthumous title of Mingxian was established in the palace, no one in the palace could challenge her name. Now the emperor specially named Lu Huiling as the concubine Ming, and he was certain in his heart that she was the reincarnation of Lu Fushuang.
"When will the canonization ceremony be held?" Xia Rongxin raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face and asked as if nothing had happened.
"No... never heard of it." Rongfu lowered his head and did not dare to look at her.
"I am going to see the emperor." Xia Rongxin said calmly, "Yun Xi will help me dress up."
Her tone of voice made Yun Xi and Rong Fu look at each other and had to get up to wash her up.
The harem has changed.
Early this morning, Eunuch He was busy. First, he had to serve the emperor when he got up and accidentally saw Lu Huiling on the dragon bed. Then, according to the emperor's instructions, he personally led people to clean up the Minghua Hall and notified the Ministry of Internal Affairs to engrave it. Jade Butterfly, after a short rest, I have to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion in person to announce the decree.
During the journey, Eunuch He could not understand why Lu Huiling climbed onto the dragon bed and became the empress of the Ming Dynasty.
Eunuch He was so busy today that he couldn't stop. He thought there had already been a commotion in the harem. Fortunately, he left the palace early. Otherwise, Concubine Mei's visit to the Qinzheng Hall would have been enough for him.
But why didn't he remember to go in and take a look yesterday? Guang was waiting outside the main hall. I don't know how Lu Huiling took advantage of this loophole. After one night, his identity changed from a young female official to one of the four concubines. Empress.
There is no main palace in the harem, and there are no noble concubines above the four concubines. Apart from the emperor, the four concubines are the most noble. Now there are only two of the four concubines, Mei Fei of Yichun Palace and the newly promoted Ming Fei of Ming Hua Hall.
From a young female official, she suddenly became the empress with the highest status in the harem. Compared with the old and beautiful Mei Fei, who has the most important position in the emperor's heart? The people in the harem are like a mirror.
No one outside the palace had heard about the concubine who was suddenly conferred today. When Eunuch He arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Fang Lubian, who came to greet him, also had a puzzled look on his face: "Why is Eunuch He here?"
Eunuch He was still forcing himself to accept this matter. After returning to the palace, he had to listen to Concubine Mei's nagging. He was already in a bad mood. Looking at Fang Lu's dog-legged look, he just rolled his eyes and looked away from him: " Has the Prime Minister returned home?"
"Not yet, the Prime Minister has gone to court in the morning." Fang Lu looked up at the sky, "I guess it's time to come back. Can Mr. He sit in the teahouse for a while first? I will send someone outside the palace right away.
Just wait, the prime minister will be back in the morning."
Eunuch He nodded: "That's all we have to do."
Lu Gaohong was not in the palace, and someone from the palace came to announce the decree. Naturally, Mrs. Lu and Lu Chen had to come out to receive them.
In the past few days, because Lu Huiling was left in the palace to work as a female official, Mrs. Lu had been sad for a long time. This was no better than being a concubine in the palace. How could she ask for leave to visit? After entering the palace, she had no freedom.
Mrs. Lu had brought up Lu Huiling and couldn't see each other across a palace wall. She hated Lu Gaohong for leaving Lu Huiling in the palace. Although she didn't know why, there must be his reasons. Lu Gaohong didn't want to say, Lu Huiling
Madam didn't want to guess, and ignored Lu Gaohong for many days.
"Mrs. Lu, Master Lu." Eunuch He stood up and bowed as he saw Mrs. Lu and Lu Chen walking into the teahouse.
Mrs. Lu was in a bad mood. She had been sad about Lu Huiling these past few days, so she casually responded: "Mr. He, please sit down."
Eunuch He didn't know what happened. Seeing Mrs. Lu's unhappy face, he secretly complained in his heart, why is it so difficult to do errands today!
"Why did Mr. He come to the office?" Lu Chen suddenly asked.
"This..." After all, the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion was away, and Eunuch He didn't know whether to say it now, so he hesitated and replied, "Let's wait until the Prime Minister comes back and talk about it together. The emperor sent a servant to convey the message to the Prime Minister.
"
Mrs. Lu remembered that before Lu Huiling left, it was Eunuch He who came in person to convey the emperor's will. She immediately didn't have a good look towards him and said coldly: "Who is Mr. He going to take away this time? Could it be that the Prime Minister
Let me live in the palace too."
Eunuch He was choked by Mrs. Lu's words. She thought she was unhappy about Lu Huiling staying in the palace as a female official. But didn't Prime Minister Lu and Miss Lu bring this up themselves? Why should he be blamed?
Up.
Eunuch He didn't know what to say. Regardless of the dignified and gentle look of Mrs. Lu in front of him, she was also a good hand in suppressing Prime Minister Lu when she was young. She was also a first-grade imperial concubine who was personally canonized by the late emperor. Eunuch He didn't want to offend any more.
Then he bent down and apologized.
"Madam, my servant is the messenger from the Qinzheng Hall, and what he preaches is the emperor's will." Eunuch He saw Mrs. Lu sitting there with a dark face, so he didn't dare to offend him. After much deliberation, he decided to send the emperor to suppress her.
Just press it.
Mrs. Lu didn't know that it was the emperor's will, but she had to find a place to vent her anger.
Lu Gaohong was busy with government affairs all day long. Mrs. Lu knew that it was for national affairs, so she didn't want to argue with him if she was depressed. She had been depressed for several days. When she saw Eunuch He, she took out her anger on him.
"Humph." When Mrs. Lu saw him talking about the emperor, she didn't know what to say. She snorted coldly and turned away from him.
Eunuch He could neither sit nor stand at this time. He was full of hope that Prime Minister Lu would come back soon. But seeing Mrs. Lu here, he really didn't dare to tell him about the emperor's appointment of Lu Huiling as the empress of the Ming Dynasty.
.
When he heard the emperor's order this morning, Eunuch He dropped his fly whisk to the ground. He repeatedly confirmed the emperor's oral instructions. When he heard with his own ears that the emperor said to confer Lu Huiling as the concubine, Eunuch He almost fainted.
It's past.
How can there be a concubine who is directly canonized as the empress? What's more, this person is the niece of the late empress. The canonization of Mingfei conflicts with the posthumous title of Empress Mingxian. How many precepts has the emperor broken for her on this day!
Eunuch He tried to dissuade him again and again, but the emperor still insisted on going his own way and refused to listen to his words. Eunuch He had no choice but to arrange these things for the emperor.
I think when Lu Huiling woke up and saw the palace full of palace maids bending down to call her to declare concubine, she must have been confused.
