Phoenix Hairpin - Chapter 11

[Chapter 11]

Meng Yunluo’s movements were subtle, but she couldn’t hide from the bright-eyed and bright-hearted ladies.

A few chuckles were heard in Meng Yunluo’s ears.

Meng Yunluo was embarrassed in public, and her fair and charming face was stained with a blush of embarrassment.

Jin Can’er, a boudoir friend, didn’t mean to appease Meng Yunluo at all, instead she covered her sleeves and laughed, her eyes full of schadenfreude.

This is the “friendship” of the ladies in the capital.

Lu Mingyu’s “joy” that he was about to reunite with his old friend was also diluted a little, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he walked with Cailan to the main hall.

Stepping over the high threshold, Lu Mingyu didn’t squint, stepped forward steadily, and bowed, “I have seen the Queen.”

Queen Qiao, who was sitting on the phoenix chair, smiled and said: “No ceremony, flat body.”

“Thank you, Empress.” Lu Mingyu stood up neatly, and when he got up, his eyes swept away, and he had a panoramic view of everyone in the hall.

Queen Qiao was born in a prestigious family.

At this moment, Queen Qiao’s eyes were filled with scrutiny and scrutiny.

Several princes have reached the age of choosing princes and concubines.

What is the purpose of today’s palace banquet, everyone knows well.

Queen Qiao naturally had to look carefully.

Sitting under Queen Qiao was Concubine Meng Gui.

Concubine Meng and Queen Qiao were the same age, and they were well maintained, with a beautiful and charming face, and the look of a mature woman between her eyebrows and eyes.

Concubine Meng Gui has a son and a daughter. The eldest prince got married the year before and went out of the palace to build a mansion.

Princess Jing’an is only eleven years old this year, and she is still young and immature.

Princess Jing’an sat beside Meng Guifei.

Princess Hui’an, the direct descendant, has reached the age of double ten, and has already recruited a consort.

Today’s palace banquet, of course, cannot be without Princess Hui’an.

Sitting on the other side of Queen Qiao, she looked arrogant, her eyes were cold and critical, and she was like picking on her future sister-in-law.

Next to Concubine Meng is Concubine Qin.

In terms of appearance, Concubine Qin is far inferior to Concubine Meng.

However, she is also a beautiful woman with extremely white skin and a cheerful and smiling personality. At first glance, she looks soft and kind.

Sitting next to Concubine Qin was the biological mother of the third prince and the fifth prince, her mother-in-law in her previous life, Su Zhaorong.

Su Zhaorong was favored by Emperor Yongjia as a dancer back then. Of course, she was born extremely beautiful, with curved eyebrows, black eyes, and Qiong nose and cherry lips.

Even more beautiful than Concubine Meng.

However, Concubine Meng was born as a general, and she was beautiful without losing her heroic spirit.

However, Su Zhaorong is like a vine that can only cling to trees, beautiful but weak, making people feel pity.

It was this woman who seemed to be weak and helpless and cried at every turn when she was in trouble. She endured dormancy for several years and finally became the Empress Dowager Wei.

I don’t know the government, I don’t know how to maneuver, I don’t know about military affairs.

Short-sighted, narrow-minded, selfish and vicious.

For his own selfish desires, he instigated his son and daughter-in-law to leave, ignoring the inheritance of the country.

This kind of person is not worthy of being the queen mother!

Not even a mother-in-law.

Lu Mingyu had a strong killing intent in his heart, but his expression was the same as usual.

The moment Su Zhaorong saw Lu Mingyu, her whole body trembled invisibly.

The sharp pain of being pierced by the sharp sword in his chest came instantly.

She almost wanted to get up and run away immediately, or to kill the cruel daughter-in-law in front of her immediately.

No, be patient!

Must be patient!

How can I wait until my son ascends the throne and sits firmly in the dragon chair.

At that time, as her mother-in-law wants to grind, the only daughter-in-law will have to bear it.

Su Zhaorong quickly adjusted her facial expression and squeezed a friendly and kind smile at Lu Mingyu.

Lu Mingyu turned his eyes away indifferently as if he had not seen it.

Su Zhaorong: “…”

…

“You are Lu Mingyu, the daughter of King Xingyang?” Queen Qiao’s gentle voice sounded in the main hall.

Lu Mingyu raised her eyes and looked at Queen Qiao: “Yes, there are six siblings in the family, and I am the fourth. Thanks to the love from the empress,

Today, I was able to enter the palace to see the empress.

”

The girl who entered the main hall for an audience, entered the harem, the place of supreme power, and faced the most honorable empresses and concubines of the Great Wei Dynasty, either nervously with excitement, or anxiously with joy and hope.

There is no one who is as calm and calm as Lu Mingyu.

Gu Panjian’s splendid expression is even more difficult to describe, which is heartbreaking.

Qiao Wan and Zhao Yu, who entered the hall first to meet with them, were also top-notch ladies from famous families, each with their own strengths.

But as soon as Lu Mingyu showed up, he immediately compared the two of them to a bleak point.

Empress Qiao’s eyes fell on Lu Mingyu’s beautiful and glamorous face, and a series of thoughts flashed in her heart, and her tone became more and more gentle: “King Xingyang led the army together with the emperor, and the hard work has paid off.”

Lu Mingyu smiled slightly and responded appropriately: “My father is a military general of the Great Wei Dynasty, and it is his duty to lead troops to fight. I don’t dare to think that hard work is high.”

Queen Qiao asked with a smile, “What do you do for pastime in the mansion? What books have you read? Have you ever learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?”

Lu Mingyu responded without being humble or arrogant: “Returning to the mother, I have been dancing with guns since I was a child. I like riding and shooting martial arts, but I don’t like reading. I only know a few words, and I haven’t learned much about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.”

Queen Qiao came from a well-known scholarly family, and she likes a girl with a gentle temperament and outstanding poetry, literature and talent like Qiao Wan.

Sure enough, Lu Mingyu was not familiar with Chen Mo, and Queen Qiao frowned slightly.

Su Zhaorong interjected unexpectedly: “I heard that Fourth Miss Lu is excellent at riding and shooting, and her skills are quite the style of King Xingyang. It’s a pity that I can’t see it with my own eyes today.”

Concubine Meng Gui picked up the veil and covered her mouth with a smile: “Yo, it’s rare to see Su Zhaorong complimenting which girl.”

To choose a prince and concubine, it is natural to have only the second prince first.

Queen Qiao had to choose first, and then it was the turn of the third prince and the fourth prince.

Su Zhaorong opened her mouth at this time, and it was already reckless.

Concubine Qin also pursed her lips and smiled: “My concubine and Su Zhaorong thought of something. My concubine looked at it, and Miss Lu Si was also very good. However, for today’s palace banquet, you can enjoy some songs and dances, write some poems, or play the qin for fun. That’s all. It’s inconvenient for people who dance with knives and guns. Secondly, it’s hard to guarantee that there will be no accidents.”

Queen Qiao’s smile faded.

Su Zhaorong came from a humble background and had no strong family to rely on. It was common for him to be ridiculed and ridiculed in the harem from time to time.

Su Zhaorong gritted her teeth, swallowed her embarrassment, and smiled in a low voice: “My concubine talked a lot for a while and said the wrong thing, please forgive me.”

Queen Qiao said lightly: “Since you know your mistake, just shut up and say a few words less.”

Su Zhaorong’s face was hot, she responded and quickly lowered her head.

Lu Mingyu looked at Su Zhaorong’s humiliation with cold eyes, and felt quite happy.

After she married Li Hao in her previous life, she felt pity for her mother-in-law in an embarrassing situation and supported her from time to time.

It is common to have a confrontation with Concubine Qin, Queen Qiao Meng Guifei.

Now that I think about it, Su Zhaorong’s use of weakness to show inferiority and self-pity is all a means to let her daughter-in-law, who was born in a family, charge into the battle to shield herself from arrows.

Now, she doesn’t have to do anything, she can just watch a good show.
