In the palace, the queen was in a rare good mood today and took her maids for a walk.
Sitting on the pavilion to rest, I saw Fu Jingchao coming out of the Queen Mother's Palace from a distance and returning to his place of residence in a wheelchair.
Behind him was a girl.
It was Lu Wanwan. Lu Wanwan picked a flower and handed it to Fu Jingchao. Fu Jingchao had a cold face and didn't even look at it.
Lu Wanwan was so angry that she threw the flower on the ground and stamped her foot several times, looking very delicate.
Seeing Fu Jingchao being pushed away, Lu Wanwan still chased after him.
Fu Jingchao warned her with a headache, "Don't follow me anymore."
"Why?" Lu Wanwan asked angrily?
"Because you are very annoying..." Fu Jingchao said mercilessly, "You are following me. I sent someone to invite Concubine Lu."
Lu Wanwan had no choice but to stop where she was, watching Fu Jing walk away in despair.
The queen watched all this from a distance and sighed, "It's great to be young. Even when you get angry and act petty, you look extra cute and cute."
The eldest maid next to her said, "Miss Lu really likes to pester the prince."
Concubine Lu has always doted on Lu Wanwan very much, and her own daughter can only do this.
"Go back, I'm tired."
When the queen returned to Kunning Palace with her people, she immediately felt bored. She was tired of living in such a gorgeous place for so many years.
While handling palace affairs, the confidant nanny walked in with an ugly face to pay her respects to the queen.
"Aunt Liu, please get up." The Queen said calmly, "What happened."
Having been in the palace for so long, she has experienced countless ups and downs, and almost lost her life during the most difficult times. The queen has long had a calm and peaceful heart.
Aunt Liu lowered her voice and said, "Concubine Lu is probably pregnant..."
This is really not good news. Although the Lu family and the imperial concubine are still in full bloom, the deposed crown prince still dealt a big blow to them.
At least for now, it seems that the emperor has no intention of ascending to the throne with the sixth prince.
At this juncture, Concubine Lu's pregnancy is not good news. Whether she is a prince or a princess, it is very detrimental to the queen.
The Lu family forced her to lose her right to be a mother. Of course she hated it!
As far as the queen is concerned, any prince can sit on that chair, but it definitely cannot be Concubine Lu's child.
"What should we do?" Aunt Liu asked, "Should we take action?"
The queen shook her head, "I never do anything to children, not to mention if there is even a slight mistake in this method, we will be the ones who are ruined."
Miss Liu said anxiously, "Then we can't just watch her give birth."
The emperor is no longer young, and he loves his younger son more than his older sons.
The fourteenth prince who was just born the year before last year should not be too favored.
If Concubine Lu's baby was born safely, it would be worse than anything worse.
The queen said, "Let me think about it, there must be a better way."
The eldest maid on the side gave an idea and said, "The emperor doesn't seem to have entered the harem very often recently."
After the incident of deposing the crown prince, the emperor was still a little bit indifferent towards Concubine Lu, but it was not obvious.
"You mean you want me to introduce new people?" The queen frowned.
During the long years in the palace, her heart had long since died. It can be said that she had no psychological burden when it came to recommending women to the emperor.
It's not like she has never used this method before.
The emperor was fresh for a while at most and then gave up. No one could challenge Concubine Lu's status.
"If you want to push, you have to push someone. It will make Concubine Lu feel in danger. The more panicked a person is, the easier it is to get into trouble."
The queen quickly made a plan.
The problem is, where to find such a woman who can sway Concubine Lu.
Aunt Liu said, "Since we can't do it in the palace, we'll find someone from outside the palace."
In the end, this strategy got stuck in finding someone.
———————————
A few days before the Queen Mother's birthday, the Queen left the palace and went to the famous royal temple in Shengjing, Dajue Temple, to pray for the Queen Mother.
For such a demonstration of filial piety, the emperor even praised the queen the night before and went to Kunning Palace to have dinner with the queen.
In Shen Mansion, Mrs. Shen summoned Shen Xingwan, and they had a long talk behind closed doors.
Dongqing left the house that night.
On the 15th day, the Queen made a mighty trip to Dajue Temple, with officers and soldiers clearing the way and other people waiting to get out of her way.
When the queen travels, she must be very grand.
Shen Xingwan had already arrived at the restaurant at the foot of Dajue Temple early and asked for a private room.
Dongqing came early with Qin Xuejian.
The two were playing chess at the table. Shen Xingwan was a little apologetic, "I didn't expect to involve you."
The Shen and Xie families share information and resources to a certain extent, and secretly support each other.
It's no secret that Qin Xuejian is Shen Xingwan's. If it weren't for the support of Shen Xie's family, Fusang Pavilion wouldn't have been able to open so smoothly in the capital.
Qin Xuejian smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I also owe the Queen a favor."
Although Qin Xuejian started his career in the dusty world, he is very loyal and believes in repaying kindness.
When her fame was at its peak, she had the honor to dance in front of the emperor.
The beautiful dance posture and the cool temperament. The unique atmosphere cultivated in the mountains and rivers of the mortal world is so unique compared with the three thousand beauties in the emperor's harem.
The emperor was naturally moved.
Qin Xuejian, however, had no interest in entering the palace, and was able to escape by luck in the end. The queen helped him deal with it.
She still remembered that when she was sent out of the palace, the woman whose mother was so precious was smiling a little sadly.
She said, "Do you know why I helped you?"
Qin Xuejian shook his head.
"Because you have the freedom that I envy the most and have done what I want to do the most. I can't bear to have you buried in the palace."
There is always a lot of gossip about beautiful women. Qin Xuejian was so famous at that time that even the concubines in the palace had heard of her deeds.
She traveled around the world, and famous poets wrote poems for her. Painters traveled thousands of miles to paint her dancing.
Qin Xuejian still remembers that the last words the queen said to her were, "Let's go, don't look back, keep flying as freely as a bird."
Unexpectedly, after four years, Queen Xie asked to see her by name.
Qin Xuejian said calmly, "No matter what the queen wants me to do for her, I am willing."
Because the queen was worthy, she remembered the lonely look in her eyes when she sent her away for a long time.
Qin Xuejian has always been a person with a clear distinction between love and hate.
When his reputation was at its peak, he resolutely set up traps in other countries, killed people with dance, and then retired.
And because of his promise to Mo Beichen, he came back to work for Shen Xingwan.
The Queen once reached out to her and understood her. She was willing to die for her confidant.
Anyway, she is alive now, but she just doesn't want to let down the only people and warmth left in her life.
Shen Xingwan said nothing. She had heard a lot about the queen, but she had never really met her.
The two of them played chess slowly, waiting for the queen's summons.
★Qin Xuejian is a person with her own unique charm. I will tell a story about her in the future.
It is completely different from the tone of this article, a story of love and hate, romance.
