Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Chapter 282 Lu Simo's Marriage
The Empress Dowager thought that with Concubine Ming's smart and indifferent personality, the Third Prince taught by her would not be too outstanding, but it should not be too disappointing.

only……

People will always change, the Queen Mother shook her head.

Fortunately, now that Concubine Shu is pregnant again, she doesn't have to worry about the fourth princess anymore.

At first, Lu Wanning didn't know that the queen mother had found out that she was pregnant.

But in the next few days, when Lu Wanning came to Shou'an Palace again, no matter whether it was the snacks or the fruits, there was nothing that pregnant people could not eat.

Lu Wanning may not notice anything once or twice, but every time it happens, Lu Wanning will understand.

However, it was the queen mother who knew, and it would not have any bad influence on Lu Wanning.

What's more, now that her pregnancy is stable, even if other people know, it's nothing. Lu Wanning didn't let everyone know that she was pregnant, but it was just to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Lu Wanning took a green orange, broke off a piece of orange flesh and put it in her mouth. When she looked up, she saw the Queen Mother looking at her with a smile on her face.

"The oranges are a bit sour. Ai's family doesn't like to eat them. If Concubine Shu likes them, Ai's family will send them to Concubine Shu."

Lu Wanning smiled and said: "As long as the empress dowager doesn't dislike the concubine who even eats and takes food every time she comes to your place, the concubine will thank the empress dowager for the reward."

"As long as you like to eat." The Empress Dowager said with a smile: "Aijia must have some food."

Today, the Tao family was going to enter the palace, and Lu Wanning didn't stay with the queen mother for long before leaving.

Not long after Lu Wanning returned to Ruichang Palace, people from Shou'an Palace brought a basket of green oranges.

Lu Wanning rewarded the little eunuch who brought the oranges, and told Qingzhi to send people out when Qingdai brought Tao Shi in.

"Mom, you're here." Lu Wanning stepped forward happily.

Dow looked Lu Wanning up and down, and saw that her complexion was rosy, she looked good, and there was a smile on her face.

Then he looked at the box of green oranges that hadn't been put away, and asked in puzzlement, "What's the matter with this box of oranges?"

"The empress dowager just sent it here, and I haven't had time to put it away yet." Lu Wanning said, took an orange and peeled it open in front of Tao, saying: "Mother, try it, this green orange doesn't look like a green orange. Ordinary tribute oranges are as sweet, but with a bit of sourness in the sweetness."

Dow took the peeled orange from Lu Wanning, broke off a piece and put it in his mouth.

Dow usually doesn't like too sweet things very much, this orange is sweet and sour, which suits her taste very well.

Just looking at Lu Wanning on the side eating the orange in her hand with a face of enjoyment, she was full of surprise.

Lu Wanning has never been able to eat sour food since she was a child, as long as the fruit is slightly sour, Lu Wanning will not want to eat any more after taking one bite.

After pondering silently for a while, Dow looked at Lu Wanning's stomach.

Sensing Tao Shi's gaze, Lu Wanning touched her stomach with a smile, and said, "Mother, did you guess it?"

"Really?" Dow couldn't help but said happily.

"Yeah." Lu Wanning nodded, and said, "It's been almost four months, and my taste has changed since I was pregnant with this child. I used to be unable to eat any sour, but now I'm very acidophilic."

"It's good to like sour food." Tao said without looking at him with a smile: "Sour children and hot girls, although not every time, but most of the time, you are still right. You like sour food so much now, this baby must be a little prince." .”

"It's not necessarily true. If it's a sour and spicy girl, then I didn't particularly like spicy food when I was pregnant with the fourth princess. If this child is also a girl..."

"What nonsense?" Before Lu Wanning could finish speaking, Tao Shi interrupted her.

Tao Shi glared at Lu Wanning angrily, and said: "People say that it blooms first and then bears fruit. Last time you gave birth to the fourth princess, and you are so fond of sour in this pregnancy, you must be a little prince."

Lu Wanning shook her head, and echoed with a smile: "Mother is right, this baby must be a little prince."

Lu Wanning also hopes that the one in her stomach is a little prince.

Dow was satisfied when Lu Wanning changed his words, and asked with concern about Lu Wanning's reaction this time, whether he was eating well and sleeping well.

After Lu Wanning answered all of them, Dow talked about other things with Lu Wanning.

"Your uncle asked me to tell you that the battle between Dayong and Xirong should be over soon, so don't worry."

This time the emperor's royal conquest, Zhongyong Hou was lame and unable to play, but Lu Wanning's second uncle Lu Qian was with him.

Zhongyonghou should have gotten the news from Lu Qian.

The battle between Dayong and Xirong was about to end, which meant that the emperor was about to return to the palace.

This is good news.

After talking about the serious matter, Dow talked to Lu Wanning about Lu Simo again.

"Since the announcement of the list, people have asked me to enjoy the flowers for a banquet every day. Now I have a headache when I see the post. What your uncle means is that you want me to quickly settle Simo's marriage."

The results of the township examination came out as early as September. Although Lu Simo was not the top one, his ranking was relatively high. As long as there were no accidents, he would definitely be on the list in the local examination.

Such a talented person, a good family background, and a direct sister who is a favorite concubine in the palace, such a good son-in-law candidate, how can a family with a daughter in Beijing not take action.

After listening to Tao Shi's words, Lu Wanning thought for a while and asked, "Uncle, can you agree on which girl?"

Tao shook his head and said, "I didn't say anything specific, but what your uncle said is that it's best not to have a family background that is too noble."

Lu Wanning didn't know whether Zhongyong Hou didn't want Lu Simo to get married with a family who was too noble, because he was afraid that the third house would overwhelm the big house, or if he really thought about Lu Simo and her, anyway, Lu Wanning himself agreed with what Zhong Yonghou said.

Lu Wanning pondered for a while, then asked Tao: "Apart from the girls from the families Mother mentioned before, does Mother have any other suitable candidates in her mind?"

Tao Shi nodded, and said: "When Mo'er accompanied Mother to incense, she met a girl. Mother looked very nice. The most important thing is that Mo'er seems to like that girl."

"Oh?" Lu Wanning became interested, "Which girl is it, mother."

"She's the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family of Yousi Temple in Dali Temple, her surname is Tang." Tao said.

You Sicheng of Dali Temple is the fifth grade, and her family status is not a star and a half worse than Zhongyonghou's residence.

But even though her family background is a bit poor, that girl is really nice, she has a certain amount of advance and retreat, neither humble nor overbearing, Tao Shi is very satisfied, and the most important thing is that her son also likes it.

In addition, Hou Zhongyong said that Lu Simo's Yue family should not be too noble, so Tao felt that it would be good if Lu Simo got a girl from the Tang family.

If Lu Wanning agrees, she can ask a matchmaker to propose marriage to the Tang family after she returns.

"If Mother thinks it's good, and Mo'er also likes it, then Mother can decide." Lu Wanning said.

Lu Wanning still hopes that her younger brother can marry the girl she likes.
