Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Chapter 52
In Jianzhang Palace, Luo Chengjing finished reading the last memorial on the left hand side, and put it together with the already read stack on the right hand side, took a sip of the tea at hand, got up, and was served by Lian Yongwang. hand.

Lian Yongwang handed the neatly folded handkerchief to Luo Chengjing's hand with both hands, and after seeing Luo Chengjing finished wiping his hands, he asked, "Your Majesty, it's time for meal, and the villain asked someone to pass the meal?"

Luo Chengjing threw the handkerchief that he wiped his hands to Lian Yongwang, nodded, "pass it on."

The imperial dining room had been preparing all the time, and Jianzhang Palace talked about passing on the meals, and in a short while, one after another of exquisite dishes was placed in front of Luo Chengjing.

Luo Chengjing looked at the imperial meal on the table, and suddenly flashed in his mind the image of Lu Wanning eating hard at yesterday's birthday banquet.

So, he ordered the sweet-scented osmanthus fish sticks and stewed crab meat on the table, and said to Lian Yongwang: "Send these two dishes to Lu Meiren."

Lian Yongwang was slightly taken aback for a moment, then he came to his senses and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty."

After packing the two dishes in a red sandalwood food box, Lian Yongwang took the food box and handed it to his apprentice Yuan En, who asked him to send it to Linglong Pavilion himself.

Although Meiren Lu was outstanding in appearance among the concubines who entered the palace this time, because of the noble concubine, the emperor did not like Meiren Lu very much. Lian Yongwang knew this, otherwise how could she have entered the palace for so long with Meiren Lu's appearance? Waiting for a bed?
Lian Yongwang didn't know why the emperor suddenly thought of giving food to Lu Meiren, but under such circumstances, Lu Meiren can still be remembered by the emperor, which shows that it is unusual.

When Yuan En arrived at Linglong Pavilion with the food box, Zhou Man had just brought Lu Wanning's meal back from the dining room, and it hadn't been put on the table yet.

Hearing that the emperor had rewarded the dishes, several people in Linglong Pavilion were full of joy. Lu Wanning accepted the reward, and Zhou Man sent Yuan En out of Linglong Pavilion with a gracious face, and stuffed Yuan En with a thick purse. trip.

Yuan En smiled and said a few words politely, and then Zhou Man secretly asked why the emperor gave Linglong Pavilion food suddenly.

Yuan En stuffed the purse into his cuff, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Eunuch Zhou, don't worry, the emperor just thought of Lu Meiren after seeing the meal, so he rewarded these two dishes."

As for why he thought of Lu Meiren, let alone him, his master didn't know.

Zhou Man was relieved when he heard the words, as long as the two gifts had no other meaning, it would be a good thing for Linglong Pavilion.

Zhou Man thanked Yuan En with a smile again, and after sending Yuan En away, he went into the room and talked to Lu Wanning about it.

Lu Wanning only gave an "um" after hearing this, and asked Qingzhi to set the meal.

Zhou Man looked at Lu Wanning's performance, and asked hesitantly: "Master, it seems that the emperor is not surprised that the emperor will give food?"

Lu Wanning looked at the two delicious dishes on the table, and shook her head, "It's quite unexpected." She only thought that the emperor would come to Linglong Pavilion in the next few days, but she didn't expect that the emperor would give her dishes.

However, doesn't this just prove that what she did at the birthday banquet yesterday was useful?This is good news.

The news that the emperor gave food to Linglong Pavilion was soon known by all the masters in the palace.

In Fengyi Palace, the queen's attention is on the prince at the moment, so let's forget about it.

In Zhaoyang Palace, the imperial concubine was happier than Lu Wanning herself when she heard the news, she smiled and said to Hong Jian: "It seems that my cousin is quite capable."

Seeing that the imperial concubine was happy, Hong Jian said with a smile: "The maidservant is here to congratulate the empress first, I think the wish of the empress will be fulfilled in a short time."

The masters of the other palaces reacted differently when they heard about it, some were envious, some were jealous, and some felt strange.

Qu Cairen in Yutangzhai paused with his chopsticks when he heard the news, and murmured: "It's really strange that the emperor actually gave food to Meiren Lu instead of Meiren Zheng."

Now Zheng Meiren can be said to be the most favored in the entire harem. The emperor rests with her for five out of ten days. Not to mention that they entered the palace in the same batch, even the concubine Jing and other old people are not as popular as her. that's it.

If the dishes given by the emperor today were sent to the Ruyi Pavilion, everyone would at most be annoyed, but if they were sent to the Linglong Pavilion, it would be a bit confusing.

Could it be that Beauty Lu has been in the palace for several months, and the emperor finally discovered her beauty?

Zhou Cairen, who was dining with Qu Cairen, heard Qu Cairen's words, and said with a smile: "I can't say for certain, Lu Meiren is beautiful, the emperor liked it at the birthday banquet yesterday, and it is normal to give two dishes today."

Qu Cairen nodded, "It's normal. Lu Meiren's looks are the only ones in this harem, but I don't know why the emperor was indifferent to her before?"

Zhou Cairen shook his head, "How can we guess what the emperor thinks?"

"That's right." Qu Cairen nodded, and said, "I'm just envious of Meiren Lu's face. If I can have a look like that of Lu Meiren, I don't have to worry about falling out of favor at any time."

Qu Cairen can be selected into the palace, and his appearance is not bad, even among the concubines, he can be ranked in the upper middle, but compared with Lu Wanning, he is not so outstanding.

"Sister Qu doesn't have to worry about falling out of favor now, the emperor will always come to my sister's place a few times a month now, sister, you are so lucky." Zhou Cairen sighed: "Whether it is Lu Meiren or Zheng Meiren. Well, there is no need for you to be envious, sister Qu, you should be the most enviable person in the harem."

When Qu Cairen heard this, he lowered his head and stroked his lower abdomen lightly, and laughed.Yes, compared to other concubines in this harem, she is really lucky. She has only been in the palace for three months, and she is pregnant.

Although she hasn't consulted the imperial physician yet, her menstruation has always been normal, but this time her menstruation has not come for a long time, and she has been very lethargic recently, so there is a high probability that she is pregnant.

If the one in her stomach is the little prince, she doesn't have to worry about falling out of favor in the future, even if the one in her stomach is not the little prince, but a little princess, just look at the current Concubine Jing and Concubine Hui, and she will know that she will always be in front of the emperor in the future. It's a bit of a face.

However, it is not suitable for people to know that she is pregnant now, she has to find a suitable opportunity to let everyone, especially the emperor, know that she is pregnant.

Qu Cairen's chance is on the emperor's birthday next month.

In fact, she intended to let everyone find out that she was pregnant at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet yesterday, but Zhou Cairen persuaded her, saying that she had just found out that she was pregnant now, and it was not appropriate to just say it so loudly, and wait for the baby. It is more appropriate to speak after you have settled down.

She thought so, anyway, the emperor's birthday is coming soon, if she is diagnosed to be pregnant on the emperor's birthday, the emperor will be happy.
