Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

"But..." The queen shook her head and said, "But the emperor is already dissatisfied with the prince. If they let them give birth to a prince again, wouldn't the prince's position be even more unstable?"

Upon hearing this, Ying said angrily: "Have you heard what I just said? If you don't do something, they may threaten the prince in the future, but if you do, you may become a waste queen. The position of the prince will be unstable immediately, do you understand?"

"I'll be more careful. I don't want the emperor to find out." The queen thought about it carefully, and always felt that Ying's words were a bit alarmist. It's not like she hasn't done this kind of thing before, isn't it good, nothing happened?
Ying really wanted to pry open the queen's head to see what was in her mind. She took a deep breath and said, "Do you really think that no one else knows what you did before? No one is." Fool, the emperor is not stupid, it's just that the emperor is unwilling to pursue it for the sake of the old man and the prince."

"But the situation is different now. Once the emperor pursues the matter, the abolition of the empress will be considered light. You should think about it for yourself. The old man has lived for so long and has gone through three dynasties. When did he miss what he said? If you don't listen to persuasion, When the old man really doesn't care about you, you will have no place to regret it if you regret it."

"And do you think that if no prince is born, the prince will definitely become the next emperor, and you will definitely be the queen mother? Let me tell you that unless you kill King Qi, King Ning, King Mu and their sons, this matter will not happen." There are going to be variables.”

Before the Dayong Dynasty, there were examples of the emperor passing on the throne to his younger brother and nephew.

Ying's talking and talking finally made sense to the queen, and the queen also agreed that she would be stricter with the prince in the future, and she would always ask the family's opinion before doing anything, and she would not do anything to Concubine Hui and Qu Cairen's belly.

After Mrs. Ying left, the queen sat alone for a long time. First, she rejoiced that she hadn't told the emperor that the prince would not be allowed to go to Jianzhang Palace every day. Said: "Cong'er, you are in good health, from tomorrow onwards you can go to the Shang's study to study with a good teacher."

When the prince heard this, the smile on his face disappeared, and he acted like a baby with the queen with a bitter face, "Mother, I feel that my head is still a little dizzy, can I rest for two more days before going to study?"

"No!" The queen almost agreed, but remembering what Ying said, she still rejected the prince ruthlessly, and said firmly: "Your health is good, the mother knows very well, you will..."

"No, you should study and write for me now, and I will keep an eye on you personally." The queen urged the prince to go to the study.

The prince didn't know why his mother suddenly didn't love him anymore, but seeing the queen's expression of no room for negotiation, he had to go to the study with a mournful face.

The queen kept her word, and she really sat next to the prince all afternoon and stared at him reading.

Having been stared at by the queen intently for most of the day, the prince was not given any chance to be lazy and play, and the prince went to the Shang study by himself the next day without the queen's urging.

At least the teacher would let him rest for a while when he was studying in Shang's study, and he wouldn't sit beside him like his queen mother and stare at him nicely.

The queen looked at the prince who came to pay her respects, tidied up his clothes, and said in a warm voice: "Go to the Shang study and study hard, otherwise if your father randomly checks your homework and you can't answer it, the queen mother will stop your cakes. "

"Don't play truant again, do you understand?"

The prince replied weakly: "Understood, queen mother."

After that, the queen basically put all her thoughts on the prince, and she only thought about urging the prince to work hard every day, and she didn't seem to care so much about other things.

Even if Concubine Hui treated her more disrespectfully and arrogantly because of her pregnancy, she endured it.

September [-]th is the emperor's birthday.On his birthday, although Luo Chengjing didn't have to go to the morning court, he was no less leisurely than usual.

At noon, he will attend the family banquet in the palace to accept congratulations from the concubines, princes and princesses, and in the evening he will attend the palace banquet in Cheng'an Palace to entertain all the officials.

The family banquet at noon is hosted by the empress, and the banquet starts at a quarter of noon.

Two quarters of an hour before noon, Lu Wanning packed herself up, packed the gift for the emperor in a box, handed it to Qingzhi, took her with her, and was about to go to the Yunyin Palace where the banquet was held.

Qingzhi looked at the box in her hand, then at the sachet embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon still in the basket, and said, "Master, that sachet..."

The sachet was embroidered by the master himself every stitch and thread, and the double-sided embroidery was quite labor-intensive. After the embroidery was finished, the master carefully mixed the spices and put them in. Qingzhi thought that this was what the master prepared for the emperor. Birthday ceremony.

But last night the master asked her to search for a Duan inkstone and put it up as a birthday present for the emperor.

This Duan Inkstone is a famous inkstone from the previous dynasty, and it can be given to the emperor as a birthday gift. It is worth less than the sachet made by the master himself, but Qingzhi thinks that giving such an inkstone is not as good as giving it to the master. The sachet is good, if not, you can send the sachet and inkstone together.

After all, every stitch and thread of the sachet was the master's intention, and the emperor could understand the master's intentions after seeing the sachet.

Lu Wanning looked back at the sachet thrown in the basket, and said with a smile, "Let's put it here first."

After Lu Wanning said this, Qingzhi stopped persuading her. Qingzhi has seen it clearly after being in the palace for so long. Although many times they didn't understand Lu Wanning's behavior at the time, but in the end they will find that these behaviors have deep meaning. And it all works great.

When Lu Wanning arrived at Yunyin Hall, many people had not arrived, including Qu Cairen, but Zhou Cairen, who was very close to Qu Cairen before, did arrive.

Seeing Lu Wanning coming in, Zhou Cairen greeted her with a smile.

Lu Wanning nodded to her with a smile, and then sat down in her seat under the guidance of the palace staff. There was an empty seat between her seat and Zhou Cairen's, which should belong to Qu Cairen.

After Lu Wanning sat down, Zhou Cairen talked to Lu Wanning across the empty seat and said, "Why did Beauty Lu come so early?"

Although Lu Wanning is not considered a great favor nowadays, she is still loved, especially some time ago when Lu Wanning met the emperor in the imperial garden, she also got a pot of chrysanthemums that the emperor rewarded her, but she made everyone in the harem envious.

It's not that this chrysanthemum is so valuable or rare. Although the pot of Zilongwoxue obtained by Lu Wanning is indeed a rare treasure, there are not no flowers of the same quality as it in the flower room. What the harem concubine envies is the The potted flowers were rewarded by the emperor. Among the many concubines in the harem, Lu Wanning was the only one who got it. Can everyone not be envious?

There is a pet, and there is a sister who is a noble concubine. Even if Lu Wanning came later than the high-ranking concubines, it would not be a problem, but Lu Wanning came so early, a little earlier than some low-ranking concubines.

The same is true when paying respects to the queen, every time it will be early.

Lu Wanning smiled and said, "Didn't Zhou Cairen come quite early?"

Zhou Cairen shook his head, "I'm different from you."

Lu Wanning said: "What's the difference? I'm beautiful, you're talented, there's no difference."

"That's much worse. Beauty Lu, your future has infinite possibilities, but mine is already doomed." After several years of hard work in the palace, she didn't get favored, so her future will be like this, with no favor, no love, and loneliness forever.

She is not afraid of such a future, but her wish has not been fulfilled yet, and she is still a little bit unwilling to give up.

Zhou Cairen laughed at himself and said, "Let's not talk about that, what gift did Meiren Lu prepare for the emperor today?"

After asking, Zhou Cairen added another sentence, "I'm just curious and ask casually. If Lu Meiren is inconvenient, just let me know."

"There is nothing inconvenient to say." Lu Wanning said, "I happen to have a Duan inkstone from the previous dynasty in my hand, so I made it a congratulatory gift to the emperor, how about you?"
