Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Chapter 258

Lu Wanning lightly tugged the little tug on the fourth princess's head, and said with a smile: "You little villain, you are deliberately playing against the concubine, right?"

The fourth princess "giggled" and laughed very happily.

The virtuous concubine at the side couldn't help but smile and said: "A villain is fine."

The two were talking, Concubine Jing came in with the maid, saw the smiles on the faces of Lu Wanning and Concubine Xian, stepped forward and said with a smile: "What good thing happened to the two sisters, they are smiling so happily?"

The smile on Lu Wanning's face remained unchanged, and she said to Concubine Jing: "Looking at what sister Jingfei asked, today is the fourth prince's full moon banquet, isn't this considered a good thing?"

Concubine Jing glanced at Lu Wanning and nodded: "It is indeed a good thing."

Afterwards, she turned her gaze to Concubine Xian, and said, "Concubine Xian is really lucky." She has worked so hard to keep the Fifth Prince by her side.

Unexpectedly, the concubine Xian didn't do anything, but the emperor entrusted the fourth prince to her to be raised.

I don't know what the emperor thinks.

Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu have been very close since last year, and I don't know if the emperor entrusted the fourth prince to Concubine Xian to be raised by Concubine Shu. Is there Concubine Shu's credit behind this?
The concubine smiled and said: "The concubine's luck is really good, even the concubine himself did not expect that the concubine would have such good luck, it feels like a pie has fallen from the sky."

When Concubine Jing heard the words of the concubine Xian, her heart was swayed, and the smile on her face faded a little.

Concubine Xian didn't say anything more, but greeted Concubine Jing and Lu Wanning with a smile, and then announced the opening of the banquet.

The whole full moon banquet was quite satisfactory, the only regret may be that although the emperor gave people a lot of rewards, he himself did not appear at the fourth prince's full moon banquet.

Not long after the fourth prince's full moon banquet, it was time for the fifth prince's full moon banquet.

During the fifth prince's full moon banquet, Lu Wanning saw the fifth prince being held in the arms of the maid.

Not to mention that the fifth prince was not born at full term, he was born half a month later than the fourth prince, but the fifth prince seemed to be a circle older than the fourth prince, and Xia Mei's life was so difficult for others.

Concubine Jing attached great importance to the fifth prince, the hard-earned little prince, and asked the maid to carry the fifth prince out for a while, and then immediately let the fifth prince be carried in.

After the fifth prince was taken away, Lu Wanning chatted with Concubine Kang and Concubine Xian who were on her side.

After talking for a while, Lu Wanning suddenly felt a gaze fall on her body, to be exact, on her head.

Lu Wanning looked up, just in time to see the eldest princess look away.

Lu Wanning looked at the necklace inlaid with a huge ruby ​​on the princess's neck, and thought of the ruby ​​golden hairpin on her head today. She shook her head helplessly, thinking that the princess might be comparing herself with whose ruby ​​is better. Big right?

"Ms. Concubine Shu, what's the matter?" Sensible Concubine asked when she noticed Lu Wanning's distraction.

Lu Wanning smiled and said, "It's nothing."

Seeing that Lu Wanning didn't want to say more, the concubine wisely didn't ask any more questions.

The fifth prince's full moon banquet held in honor of his concubine was very grand, almost a few blocks away from the fourth prince's full moon banquet a few days ago.

However, the emperor was still the same as the last time the four princes had a full moon banquet, only people sent rewards, but no one showed up.

After returning to her Ruichang Palace from the fifth prince's full moon banquet, the maid Yan Lu said in confusion: "Master, the emperor now only has the third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince and three princes. The fifth prince's full moon banquet, the emperor shouldn't even show his face, right?"

Lu Wanning smiled when she heard the words, looked at Qingzhi at the side, and said, "Qingzhi, what do you think?"

Qingzhi thought about it for a while, and said: "This servant thinks that the emperor may be doing this to treat the fourth and fifth princes equally."

The emperor didn't want to hand over the fifth prince to Concubine Jing to be raised, but he had no choice but to hand over the fifth prince to Concubine Jing to be raised.

However, even if the fifth prince was handed over to Concubine Jing to be raised, the emperor was still unhappy, and he was unwilling to attend the fifth prince's full moon banquet.

But there is only half a month between the fourth prince and the fifth prince. If the emperor went to the full moon banquet of the fourth prince but not the full moon banquet of the fifth prince, this attitude is a bit too obvious. It is better not to go at all. .

"So that's the case." Yan Lu and Shu Bai nodded.

Lu Wanning looked at their sudden realization, thinking that this was one aspect, but on the other hand, it also showed that neither the fourth prince nor the fifth prince was special in the eyes of the emperor.

When the fourth prince was born before, he got the word "Rui" in his name, which caused everyone to speculate, but seeing the emperor's attitude now, it's a bit unusual.

On the second day after the Fifth Prince's full moon, Xi Concubine, who had been ill for a long time, finally passed away.

When Lu Wanning went to escape the summer heat last year, she thought that Concubine Xi would not last long, but she did not expect Concubine Xi to survive until now.

Xi Concubine had been ill for a long time. After the news of her death came out, everyone had the same thoughts as Lu Wanning.

When Xi Concubine died, everyone didn't care too much, but what everyone cared about was where would the three princesses go after Xi Concubine died?

The third princess is not yet three years old, so she definitely needs someone to raise her.

Concubine Kang thought about the news of Concubine Xi's death and thought about the concubines in the palace who are now qualified to educate princes and princesses and have no children under their name, and found that she seemed to be the only concubine.

So, she couldn't help but excitedly ran to find the concubine Xian, and discussed with her in a low voice: "Sister, do you think it will be my turn this time?"

Concubine Xian looked at the look of anticipation on Concubine Kang's face, thought for a while, and said, "It's very possible."

Concubine Jing already has the Eldest Princess and the Fifth Prince, and Concubine Shu also has the Fourth Princess to be raised, and if the Emperor wants to be educated by Concubine Shu to raise other princes and princesses, he will not entrust the Fourth Prince to her.

And now that she has the fourth prince, it would be impossible for the emperor to give her a third princess to raise. In this way, only Concubine Kang is qualified to raise the third princess.

Kang Concubine listened to Xian Concubine's words and said with a smile: "Before, I thought that the third princess was very obedient and obedient. It would be great if I could really teach the third princess this time."

"Sister, just wait for the imperial decree from the emperor." The concubine Xian said with a smile.

Concubine Kang nodded in a good mood, and then said to Concubine Xian: "I will also go to offer incense to Concubine Xi later."

"Should be."

The two of them were talking, when a little maid next to Concubine Xian came in and reported to Concubine Xian: "Your Majesty, Beauty Wang is here to greet you."

Concubine Xian frowned when she heard this, but she still invited Meiren Wang in.

"The concubine has met the concubine Xian, concubine Kang." After Wang Cairen bowed to the two, he said to the concubine: "The concubine has nothing to do these few days, so I personally embroidered a handkerchief for the concubine My son, I hope the virtuous concubine will like it."
