Chapter 100: The Queen invites you
As more than ten days passed, the aftermath of the Thirteen Capitals' Heavenly Evil Dragon Formation seemed to have been artificially suppressed, including the dead concubines.
The public opinion is that he unfortunately contracted cold and died of illness.
The inner court of Weiyang Palace.
Li Longlie sat on the seat in front of Queen Dugu's bed, with a serious face full of concern, and asked: "I heard that you are sick, how are you feeling now?"
Queen Dugu sat up and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I feel much better. I may have accidentally contracted the cold, but now I'm fine."
"That's good, there is a cold epidemic in the palace recently, you should pay more attention to your body." When Li Longlie said this, his expression was not wrong.
"I understand, thank you Your Majesty."
Li Longlie nodded, with a look of relief on his face: "I still have some official business to deal with, so I won't stay any longer. If anything happens, I will call the imperial doctor."
"Yes." Queen Dugu nodded gently.
Li Longlie wanted to say something about the Ninth Prince Li Qishang, but after thinking about it he still did not speak.
"You have a good rest. I will come to visit you another day."
"I respectfully send you to Your Majesty."
With that said, Queen Dugu was about to get up, but was held down by Li Longlie, who told her to stay still and not move, and then left.
Seeing Li Longlie's figure disappear from sight, a ferocious dark golden dragon shadow appeared in Queen Dugu's eyes, cold, vast, and supreme.
"It's true that Da Gan's luck is not that easy to digest. It still needs some effort." She stood up, dismissed the maids and eunuchs, and walked alone to a full-length bronze mirror.
She slowly took off her clothes, and a body with rare beauty in the world appeared in the mirror.
She has a plump figure, tall and straight breasts, a slender waist, a graceful temperament with a hint of charm, lingering debauchery in her eyes that are like water waves, and her bloodless lips add a hint of yandere to her.
"King Anton, you have played with such a body so many times, even if you die, it will not be a loss."
Queen Dugu covered her mouth and laughed, and for a moment the whole inner court was like peach blossoms blooming.
"Come here, please give me a list of the newly promoted concubines in the harem in the past few years."
"Yes, Queen."
The maid serving outside the house responded and quickly retreated.
Although I don’t know what Empress Dugu wants this thing to do, as a palace maid and eunuch, she must obey her master’s orders.
Soon, the roster was sent over.
"Mother, here you go."
"Um."
Queen Dugu took the book, leaned on the pillow, and scanned the book with her eyes. The book with portraits also recorded the basic information of these concubines, such as age, origin, etc.
She quickly read through the concubine information on the roster.
There were many concubines, and what she mainly valued was their origins and whether they were loved by Li Longlie.
Every time she sees one that meets the requirements, she puts a check mark.
As for those concubines who were not well-connected to the saints and had bad backgrounds, they were naturally not within the scope of her consideration.
"Come, let's hold a banquet at Weiyang Palace tonight, help me invite these people over..."
"Yes, Queen."
The eunuch in charge took the roster and saw the names of the concubines ticked on it, including Concubine Wu, Concubine Yin...
These concubines all have one thing in common: they are not only well-off, but also have prominent family backgrounds.
Soon, invitations were sent to various palaces.
Yuexin Palace.
"Queen Dugu's post?"
Concubine Wu took the post and threw it to the ground without even looking at it. She sneered and said, "The weasel has no good intentions in sending New Year greetings to the chicken."
Lu Yun picked up the post and lightly wiped it.
For him, this is a good opportunity to get a sign-in reward! Don’t give up until you have to!
"Empress."
"explain!"
Lu Yun smiled bitterly and said: "My little suggestion is that we should go there. After all, Queen Dugu, as the head of the harem, still has nominal power. She sends out invitations widely. If we don't go, wouldn't we be blamed for nothing?
.”
After hearing this, Concubine Wu curled her lips and said: "Go! Why not go? I want to see what kind of medicine she is selling in her gourd?"
"The empress is wise!"
Lu Yun was finally relieved. It seemed that the first sign-in reward after breaking through to the initial level of body training would be available tonight.
"Um?"
Concubine Wu looked over suspiciously: "Xiao Yunzi, why do I think you are a little strange? You seem to particularly want me to go?"
Lu Yun secretly thought that something was not right. Just when he was racking his brains to think of how to fool him, he saw the eunuch on duty at the palace gate came in and said: "Mother, father-in-law, Concubine Yin is here."
Since Xiao Hanzi had been promoted to the eunuch in charge, he was no longer responsible for guarding the gate of Yuexin Palace and was replaced by another eunuch.
"Sister is here, invite me quickly!" said Concubine Wu.
Seeing that Concubine Wu's attention was attracted by Concubine Yin's arrival, Lu Yun couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
What a timely rain that came.
"elder sister!"
Concubine Yin ran in all the way, not caring about the image at all. She had already regarded Yuexin Palace as her home.
"younger sister!"
Concubine Yin was seen holding an identical post in her hand and asked: "Sister, did you also receive an invitation from the Queen?"
"Well, I didn't expect that my sister also received it." Concubine Wu took the post from Lu Yun and said.
"Sister, are you going?" Concubine Yin asked cautiously. After asking, she glanced at Lu Yun, with a trace of blush appearing on her face.
"Go, of course!"
"Then my sister will go too!"
Lu Yun looked at Concubine Yin who was like a follower, and couldn't help but grin, and then he was soon met with angry looks from the two women.
Lu Yun could only lower his head helplessly and look at the ground under his feet.
Soon, it was dinner time.
Eighty-nine concubines who met the requirements gathered in Weiyang Palace, and palace officials led them to their seats.
"I've met the Queen!"
"No gift!"
After the ceremony, Queen Dugu glanced at them one by one, with some different emotions.
Among them, Concubine Wu's feelings should be the most profound.
"It's strange. The way she looks at me is different from before. The slight feeling of jealousy is gone. Instead, she feels a little more... coaxing?"
Concubine Wu frowned and murmured softly.
Lu Yun, who was standing behind her, met the eyes of Empress Dugu. He couldn't help but think of the charming scene that had appeared in his mind before, and couldn't help but look away.
Upon seeing this, a smile appeared on Queen Dugu's lips.
