After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather became hotter and hotter.

There are few people in the palace, and there are also few right and wrong.

The Queen Mother was recuperating, and except for the Emperor, the Empress, and the Young Prince who occasionally came to sit there, no one else was seen.

Before leaving, Princess Song entrusted Chen Yuan to the Queen Mother. With the little princess coming and going in the Queen Mother's palace, her life was barely so lonely.

The queen was very cautious when she was pregnant, and she didn't care about the affairs of the harem unless it was necessary.

The beauty of Xinna, Lu Qingluan, even refused to leave the palace gate. If it weren't for the emperor's departure, the palace gate of Yuehua Palace seemed unwilling to open.

The only thing that changed was that there was a handsome little eunuch beside the emperor, who took Eunuch Cheng's place and followed the emperor in and out every day.

Fortunately, there are many maids and eunuchs around the emperor. No one will pay more attention to one more or less. Although the little eunuch followed the emperor to court, he stayed quietly in the corner. If he was not a caring person, he would not notice that the emperor had changed.

people.

The people in the palace were as cautious as ever, but the people outside the palace were all worried because of the new arrivals in the palace.

The emperor's harem is really too empty, except for the queen and the newly promoted beauty Lu.

This polite refusal was not the intention of Lu Shengge alone, but the decision was made after Lu Shengge sent someone to inquire with Lu Quan and his wife.

If her father-in-law gets angry, her husband is here, and at least someone can stand in her way.

Until now, Lu Hebei was seriously ill, and Xi Ge had to live like a shadow in the harem. Both the emperor and the queen mother felt that this time, it would be better to use Lu Meiren's identity to reward Lu Quan and his wife.

Mrs. Gongsun was not very smart in her birthday, but she still had the ability to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.

Now that the queen is pregnant, she cannot serve the emperor. If no one enters the harem, the newly entered beauty will have to monopolize the emperor's bed!

But for such a stupid daughter-in-law, she has to find a way to keep her busy and not have the intention to cause trouble for Wanying.

The prime minister couldn't get angry at his daughter-in-law, so he could only wave his hand feebly and let her go out: "Go and ask Chang Geng to come in."

Only those who truly know him know that this man is not as amiable as he appears on the surface, but has a very deep mind.

Soon the Queen Mother and the Queen's Palace received news that some courtiers had mentioned the emperor's selection in the morning meeting. After the emperor refuted it, some courtiers refused to give up, saying that the beauty selected by the emperor was of low birth and not worthy of being a concubine.

The Lu family's return to Jiangjiaba was decided after discussion between the Queen Mother and Lu Sheige.

Later, Lu Hebei ascended the throne and made Sheng Ge a princess. The emperor wanted to give the Lu family and his wife some rewards to thank the Lu family for their kindness in raising Lu Shege. However, Lu Shege declined the emperor's reward on behalf of the Lu family and his wife.

The last time Mrs. Gongsun came back from the palace, she actually wanted to discuss it with her father-in-law. It happened that the prime minister had been busy, leaving early and coming back late. Mrs. Gongsun waited twice but no one was there. She also heard that the princess had brought her adoptive parents.

The adopted daughter Lu Qingluan entered the palace and was named a beauty by the emperor, so she temporarily rested her thoughts.

As long as she, Lu Shege, is here, the Lu family in Beijing will be safe.

As soon as Mrs. Gongsun entered the study door, she heard the Prime Minister ask: "What did you say to Wanying last time you entered the palace?"

When Mrs. Gongsun heard the summons from her father-in-law, she was so frightened that she immediately sent someone to ask her husband, Gongsun Changgeng, to go with her to the study in the front yard.

She didn't want to be bound by red tape and etiquette, so she decided to travel outside. It didn't matter that the Lu family didn't want to go to Beijing. She didn't know if someone bullied the Lu family when she wasn't in Beijing, so it would be better for Lu Quan to stay at home in the countryside.

Lu Xiaoqing, Lu Xiaoli and the others also have children. Lu Quan and his whole family can go to Beijing, and the two married sisters can also bring their husbands and children to Beijing.

"I……"

The palace of the former dynasty was given as the residence of the Marquis of Huai'an, and the whole family of the Marquis of Huai'an went to Beijing to receive the reward immediately.

That morning, when the emperor came to court, his face was extremely ugly. Even Eunuch Cheng, who was most trusted by the emperor, was reprimanded by the emperor.

The prime minister couldn't help but regret at this moment. In order to avoid trouble for the family, he let his only son marry this stupid person. He thought that although she was not smart, she was more honest and obedient.

Now when the father-in-law asked, Mrs. Gongsun's original aura was gone, and she said hesitantly: "I still... I asked, your majesty wants to make Princess Changle a concubine."

At that time, Lu Sheige felt that the imperial power had been determined. With Lu Hebei sitting down, she had nothing to do with her in the capital.

The prime minister's face darkened, and he slammed the table hard, "Is this what I told you when Wanying married into Prince Qin's house?"

The prime minister is over sixty years old, with a black beard and black hair, a fair face and a plump face. He is cheerful all day long and looks like Amitabha Buddha.

Now, Wanying enters the palace, and the Queen Mother is in charge of her. Prime Minister Gongsun is not afraid that anything will go wrong with Wanying.

Even if the beauty only favors him, there are very few princes in the harem. If he only comes from the womb of the empress and Lu Meiren, I don’t know how many people in the court will be dissatisfied.

The Prime Minister's face was like Maitreya's and he asked in a gentle tone: "Just for a look?"

That's all for Lu Quan and his wife, but Lu Xizhou is still young. Not to mention the promising future, at least she, as the elder sister, has to pave a bright road for him.

Mrs. Gongsun was stunned and said hesitantly, "I just... I just knew that Wanying was pregnant, and I was a little worried, so I went to take a look."

At that time, Concubine Zhou was watching with eager eyes and Chen Quan was in great power. In order to save the lives of the entire Lu family, they were allowed to return to Jiangjiaba.

Lu Quan knew that his family came from a poor family and he was a wealthy man in the countryside. If he really wanted to go to Beijing and become an official, he would be afraid that he would be looked down upon by others due to his low status.

The emperor is not the kind of person who favors nepotism, and Lu Meiren has not been in the palace for a long time. Although he is very doting on her, she can't help but be wary of him because he is doted on so much.

"You still remember!"

As soon as the Queen got the news, the Prime Minister returned to the palace and called Mrs. Gongsun to see him.

Mrs. Gongsun fell to her knees: "Tell me... tell your daughter-in-law not to interfere with anything in Prince Qin's palace."

In anger, the emperor promoted Lu Meiren to Zhaoyi despite the objections of all the courtiers. Even Lu Quan, who raised Lu Zhaoyi as an adult, was made a third-rank Marquis of Huai'an. Hereditary, Lu Quan's wife Qiu was made his wife, enjoying the third rank.

The salary of a lady.

When the Queen received the news, she was actually a little shocked.

"Nonsense."

Lu Sheige also agreed to the emperor and the queen mother's decision. She would have to stay in this palace for at least five years. By the time the young prince could work diligently, the Lu family would have established a firm foothold in Beijing.

The empress dowager just nodded after receiving the news. In fact, she had known this for a long time. When She Ge was named the princess, Chen Quan asked her if she wanted to reward Lu Quan and his wife. The empress dowager refused on behalf of She Ge.

When Mrs. Gongsun heard that she could go out, she hurriedly got up, picked up her skirt and ran out.

Although her husband-in-law may question her later, it is better than being scolded by her husband-in-law.

Prime Minister Gongsun and his son talked all afternoon in the study. Outsiders did not know what they said. They only knew that Gongsun Changgeng went to the palace in person to see the queen.

When the Marquis of Huai'an and his family came to Beijing, Gongsun Changgeng was the first to go to the Marquis of Huai'an's mansion in person with generous gifts.
