Mountains and rivers pray for peace

After saying her heartfelt words, Concubine Zhen wiped the remaining tears from the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief, and ordered Chunxiao who was standing aside: "Go and get my dowry, and bring it in from my mother's house." The one in the palace.”

Chunxiao nodded, hurriedly got up and opened the curtain and went to the bedroom not far behind. Not long after, he presented a black lacquer dowry with gold inlaid teeth to the concubine Zhen.

The concubine opened the dowry, and there were dozens of pieces of jewelry displayed inside, including bracelets and hairpins of all kinds, piled together, dazzlingly bright.She randomly picked a butterfly and peony gold-headed silver hairpin and tied it on Lingshuang's bun. She smiled with satisfaction and said, "Although your face is tender, this hairpin is suitable."

Lingshuang glanced at the rich and gorgeous dowry, then knelt down as fast as she could, with a low eyebrow and a cute look: "How can I use the things that belong to the empress?"

"I say you are worthy, so you are worthy." Concubine Zhen personally helped her up and sat down, pressing her shoulders and smiling, "I am walking on thin ice in the palace, and I lost my child again. Now besides Chunxiao , only you who have served me the longest can make me trust you."

Ling Shuang pursed her lips and said nothing, her honest and arrogant demeanor losing a bit of her coquettishness.

Since Concubine Zhen entered the palace, she and Feicui have been arranged by Concubine Shu to serve them by their side.This empress has a very cold temperament. There are dozens of maids serving in Shuchunxuan. Except for Chunxiao, who was brought into the palace with her, only Le Yun gained some pity from her because of her young age and good behavior.Jade, on the other hand, is eloquent, good at grabbing credit, and can occasionally please the concubines.

In comparison, Zhen concubine was extremely cold towards her.Although she looked down upon Zhenconcubine, she could not help but be jealous of the rewards that Jade and Le Yun had received, and even more resented that Zhenconcubine also looked down upon her.Now time has changed and she has endured until both of them are dead. Seeing the eager look on Zhenbi's face, does she want to reuse her?

Thinking of this, Ling Shuang felt a subtle pleasure in her heart.

After a while, Concubine Zhen continued: "These jewelry are the dowry prepared by my mother before I entered the palace. I have kept them since I entered the palace and have never shown them to others. If you are willing to help me this time, I will reward you with this box of good things."

Hearing this, Ling Shuang was not only shocked but also flooded with joy.She can also wear those jewelry, even if they are a little inappropriate, she can still find a way to pawn them and exchange them for silver, which can be worth a lot of money.

However, she was overjoyed, and she still retained some sense. She said with sincerity and fear: "It is my duty for you to do things for your Majesty. However, your Majesty is so beautiful and beautiful, and this slave is ugly, so how can you pretend to be your Majesty and go to the banquet?" "

The smile in the corner of Zhenbi's eyes deepened: "Your body shape is similar to mine, so there is no need to worry about this. I have my own way of changing my appearance. As for the voice, I will release the news tomorrow, saying that I eat If something is broken, your throat is broken. At that time, you only need to wear my clothes and attend the banquet. You have always been smart, and Chunxiao is by your side to help you, so it will not be difficult to do so."

With this explanation, the stone in Ling Shuang's heart was relieved.

She was ecstatic in her heart but did not show it on her face. She looked worried and asked deliberately: "After leaving the palace on the day of the birthday party, when will you return to the palace?" Finally, she added: "I have no other intentions." , I just want to know in advance and be prepared in my heart.”

"At Mao hour the next day." Concubine Zhen said with a half-smile.

Ling Shuang picked at the corners of her sleeves and made a calculation in her mind.

Money is not the most important thing.

These days, it was not convenient for Concubine Zhen to sleep with her, and Emperor Xiaowen never came.On the night of Concubine Zhen's birthday banquet, Emperor Xiaowen most likely stayed at Shuchunxuan.Since the concubine will return the next day, she is the one who will truly be favored.Early the next morning, after the rice was cooked, she reported to Emperor Xiaowen that the concubine had left the palace privately.When the time comes, she has done a good job in informing and has a good relationship with Emperor Xiaowen. With her beauty, she might be able to become a queen.

Thinking of this, Ling Shuang suppressed the smile at the corner of her mouth, her eyes fell on the dowry, and she said sharply: "Slave... listen to your Majesty."

"Then I would like to thank you in advance." Concubine Zhen smiled with a smile on her lips, but there was no smile in her eyes. "You can go down and rest first. There is no need to keep vigil today."

After Lingshuang was sent away, Chunxiao frowned and said: "Miss, Lingshuang is full of bad things. She usually fishes for rewards from Changle Palace. Just throw all those jewelry into the river and listen. Xiang, it’s better to have some fun than to give her all the rewards.”

"Just treat her as life money." An enamel vase was placed on the small table on the couch, with large hibiscus flowers in it.Concubine Zhen pinched one at random, closed her eyes and sniffed: "She is not completely useless. If she hadn't tipped off the news, how would Concubine Shu know about the adultery between my good uncle and Mrs. Lu?"

Speaking of this, Chunxiao swallowed the original words on her lips and said instead: "This is in line with the letter from Mr. Huo. You asked her to pay more attention to things related to Mr. Lu. As expected, Concubine Shu I just want to make a fuss about it.”

"Let Huo Qi be careful. Concubine Shu can't wait long. In these days, send reliable people to keep an eye on the movements of Changle Palace." Concubine Zhen suddenly opened her eyes, with a cold light in her eyes, "Dispose of them as soon as you see them."

※※※

Two days later, Changle Palace.

Concubine Shu pinched a jade grape and put it into her mouth. When the sweet aroma filled her nostrils, she turned to Zhang Yi and said, "Has the guest list for the concubine's birthday banquet been sent to the queen?"

"Don't worry, my dear, I've handed it all over." Zhang Rang said with a flattering look on his face, "When the Dongchuang incident occurs, Huo Sibin arranged the position, and the order was passed by the Queen. No one can blame you."

"That's good." Concubine Shu touched the cold and luxurious armor on her hand, "Mrs. Lu's pregnancy must not be leaked at all. Such an interesting thing should be announced when everyone toasts to celebrate. Everyone, let’s all have fun together.”

Zhang Rang nodded in agreement, and a chill ran down his spine.

Lu Xingping, the left minister of the Ministry of War, had a smooth career, but his appearance was really unsightly, and he did not marry until he was [-] years old.Finally, with one breath, he married Yan Hanxiu, the daughter of the owner of the largest grain store in the capital.

Although Yan Hanxiu came from a merchant family, there was no shortage of money at home. Not to mention that Xiao Lu Xingping was 15 years old and was as beautiful as a flower.Lu Xingping was considered lucky to have such a beautiful lady in charge of his family home.

However, less than half a year after the two got married, Mr. Lu accidentally fell off his horse when he went out hunting, which completely damaged his descendants. The doctor declared that it would be difficult for him to have any children in his life.

This matter was well covered up at first, but there is no airtight wall in the world.When everyone saw that the two people had not had a child for a long time after getting married, rumors spread.At first, everyone speculated that Lu Xingping would not give birth, but in the end, this rumor was overturned by the voice that Yan Hanxiu's constitution was weak and it was difficult to conceive.

What is even more surprising is that Madam Lu asked Lu Xingping to divorce his wife on this grounds, but Lu Xingping said that he would never divorce his wife unless Yan Hanxiu wanted her.Over time, everyone in the capital thought that Yan Hanxiu violated the rule of seven outings, while Lu Xingping was as affectionate as the sea, tolerant and gentle.

At present, Yan Hanxiu is pregnant with Liu Tiangang's child.

Lu Xingping is not only wearing a cuckold, but the lies he has created for many years will be exposed, and he will never give up.And Liu Tian just died of Liu Fang, his only son, so he must have wanted to protect the child in Yan Hanxiu's belly.

If this matter is exposed, I'm afraid there will be another good show.

Zhang Rang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and smiled knowingly: "If you want me to say it, the empress is the best. Mrs. Lu is pregnant with Mr. Liu's son. If such a dirty thing happens to her family, I'm afraid that the concubine will never be able to do it again." Too embarrassed to leave Shuchunxuan's door."

"More than just embarrassing Liu Qi? What I want is that both the Liu family and the Lu family completely hate Huo Qi and have a grudge with Duke Ning." Concubine Shu covered her mouth and smiled, but there was a bone-chilling chill in her eyes.

Concubine Shu is seeking death again... By the way, Concubine Zhen is also quite ruthless, ruthless to herself and ruthless to others (つД`)ノ
