Phoenix Hairpin - Chapter 696

[New Year’s Eve]

Popular recommendation:

The new year is approaching.

This is also the first New Year after Yongjia Emperor went west.

In the palace, mourning for the late emperor was to be done, neither lanterns and lanterns, nor red or green.

As far as the eye can see, a plain.

There was no grand banquet in the palace, only a simple family banquet.

Li Jing, the emperor, has neither concubines nor favored beauties. There is only one queen in the harem. Li Jue, Li Xuan, and Li Cong are the three children, the Queen Mother Qiao, the concubine Wang and the little princess, and the young Li Min. .

After the meal, there was no silk and bamboo singing and dancing, and everyone gathered to talk and then dispersed.

On the first day of the new year, all the noble ladies of the third rank or above in the capital will enter the palace one by one to see them.

Lu Mingyu was dressed in a plain-colored palace attire, with no makeup applied, and her face was bright and clean.

The ladies of the imperial orders thought of the great achievements the Empress had made, and they became more respectful when they saluted.

“Mrs. Qiao, please take a seat.” Lu Mingyu said with a smile, and the palace servant on the side stepped forward abruptly and helped Mrs. Qiao to take a seat.

The seats in the Jiaofang Hall are limited, and all those who are eligible to sit are the well-respected Mrs.

For example, Mrs. Qiao, as the wife of the first assistant Qiao Ge, the mother of the empress dowager, the grandmother of the emperor’s direct relative, and the first lady of the dynasty, naturally have the qualifications to be seated.

After Lu Mingyu said something, Madam Qiao didn’t feel too embarrassed. She smiled and thanked her for her grace. With the help of the palace servants, she took the seat under the queen’s head.

The next ones seated were Mrs. Puyang Hou and Mrs. Dongping County Prince.

Mrs. Puyang Hou was repeatedly instructed by Puyang Hou that she was very honest and calm when she entered the palace today.

Thanking the queen for her grace, she sat down carefully, smiling but not speaking.

Li Yan, the heir of the prince of Dongping County, made many meritorious deeds and was the confidant of the new emperor.

Lu Mingyue also married into the palace of Dongping County.

Lu Mingyu wanted to give Mrs. Dongping County a bit of dignity, and when she spoke, her tone was very gentle: “Mrs. Dongping County, sit down and talk!”

The princess of Dongping County was overwhelmed, and laughed again and again: “Thank you for your grace.”

Today, Lu Mingyue also entered the palace, and when she helped her mother-in-law into the seat, she raised her head and glanced at the phoenix chair.

Lu Mingyu blinked at Lu Mingyue.

Lu Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled. It was inconvenient to talk too much on such occasions. She stood by her mother-in-law honestly.

It was only two steps away from Lu Mingyu.

Then there are the ladies of Shangshu.

Among them, the most eye-catching is Shen Lan.

Most of the ladies of the imperial life were in their forties and fifties, and there were many with white hair in their sixties.

Only Shen Lan was in her twenties, with curved eyebrows and a smile in her black eyes.

However, who made the family’s life good, married into the Lu family and became a daughter-in-law, the queen’s mother-in-law’s sister-in-law!

The Queen’s concubine deliberately lifted her up, and specifically called Shen Lan to sit beside her, a position higher than Mrs. Puyang Hou’s.

Mrs. Puyang Hou can laugh affectionately, what else are they dissatisfied with?

The palace banquet at noon, the dishes are warm and delicious.

It wasn’t the first year that Shen Lan entered the palace to greet her. As soon as she ate the royal meal, she noticed a subtle difference.

She smiled at Lu Mingyu in a low voice: “Every year when I go to the palace for dinner, this dish is a bit cold, and no matter how delicious it is, it’s a bit unpleasant. This year’s imperial meal is hot.”

Lu Mingyu also smiled: “It can be seen that the imperial dining room has taken care of it and will be rewarded generously.”

It can also be seen that Lu Mingyu, the empress, has done a smooth and comfortable job, and she is in charge of the harem, and no one dares to be negligent and slack.

The two sisters-in-law looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

After the palace banquet was over, Lu Mingyu left Shen Lan to talk to Lu Mingyue, and the rest of the officials ordered their wives to leave one by one.

Mrs. Shen was in a happy mood, and her steps were very brisk.

Lu Mingyu became the queen, the King of Xingyang led the troops to fight outside, and Lu Fei led the troops to guard the Xingyang barracks.

The Lu family is extremely wealthy, and her daughter Shen Lan is also exceptionally beautiful.

Being a mother is naturally joyful in my heart.

As for the future, let’s talk about it later!

Anyway, there is nothing to worry about right now.

…

In the Jiaofang Hall, Lu Mingyu greeted Shen Lan and Lu Mingyue to drink sweet soup with a smile: “Second sister-in-law,

Wumei, this Lantern Festival with sweet-scented osmanthus wine was made by Qiyun herself.

Come and drink a bowl while it’s hot.

”

Shen Lan was not polite and responded with a smile.

Lu Mingyue ate one bowl and asked for another.

Lu Mingyu smiled and joked: “The fifth sister can still eat like this.”

Lu Mingyue winked playfully: “It’s rare to eat the sweet soup made by Qiyun, so don’t eat more. I missed this one, and I don’t know when I want to eat it next time!”

Qiyun on the side pursed her lips and smiled: “The fifth lady is making fun of slaves again.”

Lu Mingyue smiled and said, “I’m not joking with you. Who doesn’t know that Aunt Qiyun is the most trusted person around the Empress, and it’s hard for idle people to flatter yourself. Not to mention the soup made by Aunt Qiyun herself. Soup.”

Everyone couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Qiyun has served Lu Mingyu since childhood, and the two masters and servants have a deep affection.

In the eyes of the Lu family, Qiyun is no different from her family.

After joking, Lu Mingyu asked Shen Lan with concern: “I haven’t seen my second brother for a while. Is he okay now?”

Being a queen also has many inconveniences.

UU reading www.sonicmtl.com For example, you can no longer go out of the palace and go back to your mother’s house as you used to.

Lu Fei is a foreign minister and cannot enter the harem unless he is specially summoned.

Shen Lan replied with a smile: “He can eat and sleep, he is healthy, there is nothing wrong with him.” After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, “He went back to the mansion a few years ago, and told me that he would not come back in the new year. Someone’s watching.”

Lu Lin led the troops to fight, and Zheng Zhong also left with Lu Lin.

There are still 50,000 soldiers in the Xingyang barracks.

Lu Mingyu nodded slightly and sighed softly, “Second brother has worked hard, and you have worked hard too.”

The husband and wife were not able to get together during the new year.

Shen Lan said softly: “Listen to what you said, it’s too outlandish. He is a military general and has his responsibilities. I have good arms and legs, and I am in charge of the house in the Lu Mansion, and the food is delicious. I can sleep well, go to the palace, please be safe, and be able to sit next to the empress. Today, I don’t know how many people are jealous. Just like me, if it’s too hard, I’ll be struck by lightning.”

Shen Lan is still so understanding.

Lu Mingyu’s heart was hot, and he didn’t say more.

The family, said a lot, did see the outside world.

Now that she is the Queen of the Middle Palace, she should take care of her family more.

Lu Mingyue asked in a low voice, “Fourth sister, Li Hao was sent to the border, and the people from the Xingyang Army were escorted along the way. There shouldn’t be any accidents along the way!”

If Li Hao had an “accident” on the way to the distribution, the account could be counted on Lu Mingyu.

However, with Lu Mingyu’s domineering aggressiveness and hatred of Li Hao, maybe he wouldn’t mind this mere “notoriety”.

Lu Mingyu’s eyes flashed, and he said lightly: “There will be no accidents on Li Hao’s road. After reaching the border, he will slowly atone for the evil he has done!”
