But he knew that she was unhappy at the moment, so he thought that holding her was the best way to comfort her.
Lying in his arms, Lu Qingqing did not speak, but quietly calmed her heart.
It wasn't until she was approaching the palace gate that she opened her eyes: "Why did the emperor treat me to a banquet all of a sudden?"
It was normal to entertain Hua'er and Fourth Brother, but he had never hated himself, so why did he also entertain her this time.
"Didn't I say that someone is easy to do?" Baili Fenghua pointed out.
When Lu Qingqing heard this, her eyes flashed and she smiled lightly: "That's it!"
But she really couldn't see that the little palace maid was so capable and could persuade Concubine Liu to take the initiative to approach her.
It seemed yesterday that the little palace maid was not Concubine Liu's confidant, right?
"Don't worry, the next thing will be much easier to handle! She is an orphan I brought out before. She has no father or mother. She has been receiving secret guard training since she was eight years old. She is a very smart and clever child."
"Can I still worry about you doing things?" Lu Qingqing smiled softly.
When the family arrived at the banquet, Emperor Baili and Concubine Liu were already waiting there.
Concubine Liu was dressed up, wearing a floor-length purple-red robe, which looked gorgeous and majestic. Her long black hair was tied up high in a phoenix bun, and the golden nine-phoenix steps gently swayed as she walked.
The sound sounded very pleasant to the ear.
As soon as she saw Lu Qingqing coming, she looked very enthusiastic. She picked up her skirt and walked towards Lu Qingqing with a soft, warm and friendly tone:
"Qingqing, are you here? Come and sit here quickly... Oh, by the way, can I call you Qingqing?"
"Thank you, Concubine Liu!" Since the other party acted so 'sincerely', Lu Qingqing couldn't help but say something back.
Then, her expression changed, and she smiled flattered: "Thank you so much, Concubine Liu, you can just call me Qingqing!"
"Well, then I'll call you Qingqing. After all, calling you Princess makes you look more mature! Come on, Qingqing, come and sit here with me! We women don't like to listen to their men's conversations, so let's talk about ourselves.
Private words!"
Concubine Liu couldn't help but feel even more proud when she saw Lu Qingqing's face was flattered, and when she turned back to Baili Emperor with a satisfied and doting smile on his face.
Who said she was stupid?
Now, she manages the relationship between both parties so well!
That person is obviously biased against me!
In her opinion, Lu Qingqing was nothing at all. Looking at her flattered face, she didn't look like a very smart woman!
She raised her chin slightly, and her brows were even more expressive.
As the emperor's favorite concubine and currently the highest-ranking concubine in the harem, she was extremely proud to have given birth to a prince, Liu Li.
In her opinion, the position of Queen Mother is only one step away.
Lu Qingqing glanced at Liu Li lightly, with a flattering smile on her face, but there was a flash of wisdom in her eyes.
Concubine Liu is very smart, but maybe because she was successful at a young age and won the favor of the emperor after entering the palace, she was a little complacent. I don’t know that sometimes, the more powerful you are, the more you have to be low-key and cautious!
Looking at her slightly tilted chin and the proud and arrogant look in her eyes, you can see how proud she is in her heart. The pride she inadvertently showed in her words was so loud and clear.
Sigh lightly, if you want to sit in a high position, you must have that ability. Just being smart is not enough. Being calm and cautious can make you step by step!
