When Zhao Peiyu returned to the palace today, she was extremely surprised when she heard Eunuch Rongfu talking about Miss Lu's concubine.

Zhao Peiyu just went out of the palace to buy rouge with several ladies, but unexpectedly such a big event happened as soon as she returned to the palace.

"Did Concubine Mei say anything?" Zhao Peiyu asked curiously.

Lu Huiling was granted the title of concubine. In her opinion, the greatest threat to her was Concubine Mei.

In fact, Zhao Peiyu was not too surprised when Lu Huiling entered the palace as a female official in the Qinzheng Hall. On the Mingtai that day, she recognized that it was Lu Huiling. She had never seen Queen Mingxian before.

When the emperor saw Lu Huiling, his eyes were filled with light and he couldn't help but take a step forward.

Zhao Peiyu felt strange. Although Lu Huiling was young and beautiful, she was considered the best among the official ladies. Ordinary men would just look lost and dejected. Who is the emperor? There are three thousand beauties in the harem. Which concubine is not stunning?

An outstanding woman?

Later, because he felt strange, he went to ask the old man Rong Fu in the palace. He had served in the palace of Queen Mingxian. Rongfu had seen Lu Huiling several times from a distance and said that she seemed to have a hint of Queen Mingxian between her eyebrows.

His posture, with a little dressing up, can usually look real.

Only then did Zhao Peiyu suddenly realize that it turned out that the emperor missed Lu Huiling for Queen Mingxian that day on the Mingtai stage.

So Zhao Peiyu felt that it was not surprising that the emperor would keep Lu Huiling in the palace. The whole world was like imperial soil, and the emperor was the master of the world. He couldn't have anything he wanted. He missed Empress Mingxian and wanted Lu Huiling to

It is normal to keep your spirit by your side to satisfy your longing.

Since Lu Huiling has been working as an errand in the Qinzheng Palace, and the Crown Prince is not favored by the Emperor, it is inconvenient for Zhao Peiyu, the Crown Princess, to go and chat. Moreover, the official affairs in the court have been busy recently, and even the Crown Prince Qi Jingyang is too busy to spend money.

, let alone the emperor, I heard that even Concubine Mei and the princess were not seen, how could he possibly see her.

I thought it would just be over, but who knew that when I returned to the palace today, I heard that Lu Huiling was named the Ming Concubine, which really surprised Zhao Peiyu.

In her opinion, no matter how much the emperor misses Empress Mingxian, he will not do anything too transgressive. The current rush to canonize Lu Huiling is because something irreversible has happened.

Zhao Peiyu felt incredible just thinking about it.

Eunuch Rongfu shook his head: "What can Concubine Mei say? I went to the Qinzheng Palace and the emperor promoted her to Concubine Mei. It's the same as before. It's just an appeasement measure."

Zhao Peiyu curled her lips. She didn't care what Concubine Mei had to say. She was just worried that Concubine Mei would stumble Lu Huiling behind her back. If nothing else, Lu Huiling was the only person she could speak to in Shangjing City.

We are good sisters, so naturally we have to worry.

"Where does Concubine Ming live now?" Zhao Peiyu asked.

Zhao Peiyu thought that if nothing happened tomorrow, at least Lu Huiling would have a stable place to live from today onwards. She would not have to wait around the Emperor Qinzheng Palace all day long, so it would be convenient to visit her.

"Minghua Hall." Eunuch Rongfu said truthfully.

"Minghua Hall?" Zhao Peiyu took a breath of air, "Isn't that... the place where the immortal soul of Queen Mingxian is enshrined?"

Zhao Peiyu, the princess who had just married into the East Palace for three years, knew the allusions of Minghuatang.

Rumor has it that Empress Mingxian's soul is still alive, and Qianning Palace has always been the residence of the Queen of the Middle Palace. In order not to affect the next generation of emperors, the emperor could not bear to place the memorial tablet and incense altar in Qianning Palace, so he carried out extensive construction and built a glorious place. The beautiful Minghua Hall is located between Qianning Palace and Qinzheng Palace. The main hall enshrines the portrait of Queen Mingxian. There is an Eight Immortals Pond in the courtyard with several koi carps for running water.

Rong Fu nodded and said: "We removed the portraits and the incense altar long ago, and now that Minghua Hall has taken over, I think the emperor really regards Miss Lu as the Mingxian Queen."

Zhao Peiyu was so surprised. She really couldn't understand why Lu Huiling had to enter the palace to serve the emperor and bury her life's happiness in the mighty imperial city here, just because she failed to marry Qi Jingqin as she wished.

Rong Fu was originally the Crown Princess Zhao Peiyu whom he met while passing by the gate of the East Palace. Now that he had finished speaking, he took his leave in advance.

Zhao Peiyu waved her hand casually, looking distracted.

Han Yao, the personal maid behind him, stepped forward and gently supported Zhao Peiyu. Han Yao could clearly hear what the Crown Princess and Eunuch Rongfu said just now.

In the past, the Crown Princess Zhao Peiyu and the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Office, Lu Huiling, were close. Han Yao was naturally familiar with Miss Lu. In her memory, the eldest daughter of the Lu family was an arrogant, domineering, unruly and willful young lady. Now when she heard Eunuch Rong Fu talk about it, , it’s as if he has changed his temper, which is really incredible.

"Hanyao, tell me, what is Huiling doing this for?" Zhao Peiyu asked as he walked.

Zhao Peiyu is a female family member and does not participate in court affairs. Even though Qi Jingyang does not treat her as badly as before, and it is impossible to tell her about the conversation with Lu Gaohong, Zhao Peiyu naturally does not know that all this is caused by Lu Gaohong of the Prime Minister's Palace. It's arranged.

Han Yao pouted and shook her head, frowning slightly and looking forward with empty eyes. She said: "This slave also finds it strange. Princess, you said that Miss Lu should have good appearance and a good family background. As long as She spread the word and went to Beijing, oh no, even the whole dynasty, countless young talents flocked to her, but she picked some, so why bother..."

In Han Yao's eyes, although the emperor is the Supreme Being, has some supreme rights, and can give others supreme glory and wealth, he is still old and frail and no longer the same as before.

Lu Huiling is young and beautiful, has power, status, wealth, and her father Lu Gaohong has it all. Why bother marrying the old emperor?

Zhao Peiyu won't blame Han Yao for being so arrogant, because she thinks so herself. Lu Huiling has everything she wants, so how could she marry the emperor?

Who doesn't know that the emperor is now old and frail, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor has only a few more years to live. Is it worth exchanging a lifetime of happiness for a few years of favor?

"If you can't be Qi Jingqin's princess, why not become the emperor's concubine?" Zhao Peiyu shook her head, "Isn't Hui Ling stupid?"

Zhao Peiyu has a good relationship with Lu Huiling, so she naturally knows that she likes Qi Jingqin. Although she does not support her in her heart, after all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Qi Jingqin are incompatible with each other, and Lu Huiling naturally belongs to the prince's party, but after all, she has just begun to fall in love, and the girl's feelings cannot be hidden. .

Han Yao didn't care about these things. She accompanied Zhao Peiyu into the East Palace as a dowry, so naturally she had to consider Zhao Peiyu's affairs.

"Alright, Princess, don't think about it. When the weather gets cold, let's go back to Heyuan to wash up and rest." Han Yao said.

Zhao Peiyu couldn't figure it out: "Prepare a gift for me. I will go to Minghua Hall to meet Huiling tomorrow."

"Yes." Hanyao knew that she couldn't restrain Zhao Peiyu's curiosity, but she still agreed to bless her body.

After walking for a long time, Crane Garden was right in front of them. It was windy and cold outside, so the master and servant hurried inside.

The main hall of the East Palace, the prince's bedroom.
