Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Chapter 227

However, with the emperor as his father, even without his biological mother, the three princesses should be able to live well.

Shaking her head, Lu Wanning put away her excess distress, and talked with the Queen Mother to relieve boredom.

The two of them were talking, when the maid outside came in to report, saying: "Empress Dowager, Empress Jingfei has brought the Eldest Princess to greet you."

Before the Queen Mother could speak, another court lady came in and reported to the Queen Mother: "My Lady, Chen Zhaoyi, Wei Zhaoyi and Cui Jieyu have also come to greet you."

When the Empress Dowager was in the palace, everyone was exempted from paying her respects every day, so that everyone did not have to pay her respects every day.

Concubine Jing and others who came to Qingning Mountain did not intend to come to pay respects to the queen mother, but after hearing that Lu Wanning brought the fourth princess to pay respects to the queen mother, she decided to bring the eldest princess to pay respects to the queen mother.

Chen Zhaoyi, Wei Zhaoyi, and Cui Jieyu heard that the two high-ranking concubines, Concubine Jing and Concubine Zhuang, had come to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager, so naturally they didn't dare not to come, so they rushed to Qingfeng Pavilion with their people.

The Empress Dowager paused, and said, "Since they're all here, let's call them in."

So Concubine Jing led the Eldest Princess by the hand, and Chen Zhaoyi and the others walked in from the outside a little behind.

After several people saluted, the queen mother called out and gave them seats.

After several people sat down, Concubine Jing looked at Lu Wanning with some reproach, and said jokingly: "Sister Concubine Zhuang came to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, and she didn't even say hello to her, my sister is still waiting for her in Qingzhi Pavilion. "

Lu Wanning also laughed, "Sister Jingfei is blaming me wrongly. I didn't know that Sister Jingfei would come to greet the Queen Mother today. Next time, Sister Jingfei will tell me in advance, and I will definitely remember to be called Sister Jingfei." .”

Concubine Jing smiled and said, "Okay, next time sister must tell sister in advance."

Concubine Jing and Lu Wanning were talking, the eldest princess was next to Concubine Jing, her eyes looked at the third princess and at the fourth princess who was held in the arms of the queen mother.

The eldest princess is already eight years old this year, and the children in the palace are precocious. At the age of eight, she already understands many things. She knows what it means to be liked by the queen mother and the emperor.

So when she looked at the fourth princess who was held in the arms of the queen mother, her eyes were unconsciously filled with jealousy.

Chen Zhaoyi and Wei Zhaoyi are like transparent people when they have occasions that they must attend. People are more cautious.

Although they came to pay their respects to the queen mother, they would not speak unless the queen mother asked them.

Cui Jieyu looked at this and that, and followed Chen Zhaoyi in silence.

The Empress Dowager looked at the few people in front of her eyes, and said, "Why do you all run to Ai's house today as if we had discussed it?"

Concubine Jing pursed her lips, and said with a smile: "On weekdays, the Empress Dowager in the palace took pity on my concubines and others, so I didn't ask my concubines and others to greet me, and came to this Qingning Villa. The weather is cool, and my concubines want to come more I will show my filial piety in front of the Empress Dowager."

Chen Zhaoyi and the others also spoke one after another, "Yes, Empress Dowager, you can't stop the concubines from showing their filial piety."

The queen mother waved her hand, "It's enough for you to have this kind of filial piety, and you don't have to run to Ai's house every day."

The Empress Dowager has said this, and the Concubine Jing and the others will naturally not insist on coming every day to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager.

Several people stayed with the Empress Dowager for about two quarters of an hour, talked with the Empress Dowager for a while, and then left.

Lu Wanning also left Qingfeng Pavilion with the fourth princess and a few others.

After leaving the Qingfeng Pavilion, several people went back to their own residences.

After Lu Wanning returned to Qingxi Pavilion, she played with the fourth princess for a while, seeing that the fourth princess was sleepy, she handed the fourth princess to the nanny, who coaxed her to sleep.

The fourth princess is still young, and now she has to sleep twice a day, usually once in the morning and then again at noon.

After the nanny carried the fourth princess down, Lu Wanning went to the study to practice her handwriting for a while. After three years of hard work, her handwriting is now very good, at least much better than her previous handwriting.

Putting away the written words, Lu Wanning rubbed her wrists, walked to the window and sat down, took a sip of tea from the teacup, and asked Qingzhi, "Have you seen the maids and eunuchs serving in Qingxi Pavilion?" No?"

Lu Wanning and the others came here to escape the summer heat. Although they all brought people with them, everyone only brought someone to serve them. Those who did rough work in the yard were originally working in the summer resort mountain.

These people don't know the basics, and although they won't be allowed to serve them personally, they still have to beat what should be beaten.

Qingzhi nodded, and said: "Master, I have seen it, and I have told them about the rules and regulations."

Lu Wanning nodded, and waved Qingzhi down.

Lu Wanning sat by the window and looked at the scenery outside the window. After drinking a cup of tea, the nanny came in holding the sleeping fourth princess.

"Are we Chun'er awake?" Lu Wanning reached out to the fourth princess.

As soon as the fourth princess heard Lu Wanning's voice, she babbled and looked at Lu Wanning.

After Lu Wanning hugged her, she lay down in Lu Wanning's arms and stared at the hairpin on Lu Wanning's head, and when she looked at it, she wanted to reach out to grab it.

Lu Wanning grabbed the little hand of the fourth princess, put it on her lips and kissed it, regardless of whether she understood it or not, she said softly: "You can't touch these things now, you can wear them when you grow up. ,Did you know?"

The fourth princess didn't know that as soon as Lu Wanning let go of her hand, she stretched out her hand towards Bu Yao on Lu Wanning's head.

Lu Wanning was afraid that these jewelry would hurt the fourth princess, so she asked Qingzhi to help her remove the Bu Yao, hairpin and other jewelry from her head.

At noon, when Luo Chengjing came to Qingxi Pavilion for dinner, he looked at Lu Wanning's bald bun, and wondered: "Why is my concubine dressed so elegantly today, but I don't like those jewelry anymore? Just a few days ago, I passed the tribute in Dongchi." There are a lot of precious stones, and I will order the manufacturing office to make a few more pieces of new jewelry for my concubine."

Lu Wanning smiled and shook her head when she heard the words, "The emperor misunderstood, when the concubine was holding Chun'er, Chun'er always liked to reach out and grab the hairpin jewelry on the concubine's head, the concubine was afraid of hurting her, so the maid took it off. "

After hearing this, Luo Chengjing picked up the fourth princess and laughed, "Our Chun'er is so young, so we already know that we like beautiful jewelry? Later, the emperor gave us Chun'er a few boxes of gemstones of various colors, and when our Chun'er grows up, we can wear beautiful jewelry. OK?"

Lu Wanning smiled from the side: "She is still so young, how can she know what kind of beautiful jewelry? The emperor is so used to her, be careful that she will be used to being extravagant and domineering in the future."
