Poison concubine curses the world

Chapter 9

Lu Zhongxin nodded, and said in a harmonious voice: "The old lady heard that you are back, and asked you to go to Nanyuan."

Lu Ziyi responded obediently: "Yes, Ziyi is going to greet the old lady right now."

The old lady, Mrs. Xu, is over seventy years old, and the current empress dowager is the daughter of the former prime minister, with a glorious family and noble background.The Lu family is in charge of the military, so the power is already strong, and with the help of the old lady's sister and the empress dowager, the Lu family is even more sheltered.Therefore, no matter what position you occupy in the huge imperial court, you have to be in awe of the Lu family.

Although Mrs. Xu lives in Nanyuan now, eats fast and recites Buddha all day long, and doesn't care about the affairs of the mansion, but Lu Ziyi heard that when she was young, as the head of the Lu family, she was strict and thrifty, managed the family well, right and wrong No, no one dares to commit a crime.

In recent years, Mrs. Xu has been living in seclusion, except for holidays and her birthday, it is rare to see her in Dongyuan.Although this grandmother is always indifferent on weekdays, she has always taken care of Lu Ziyi.Lu Ziyi guessed that the reason why the old lady met her this time was because she was about to get married and wanted to tell her a few words.

Lu Ziyi was led by the old lady's personal nanny, Nanny Chen, and walked all the way to Nanyuan. Compared with Dongyuan, Nanyuan was much simpler and simpler. The nuns are well trimmed.The doors and windows carved with dragons and phoenixes, and the eaves pillars of the promenade, although they have turned brown after years of baptism, are all made of high-quality rosewood.

Before entering the room, Lu Ziyi asked about the scent of cymbidium, which lingered all around, and just after inhaling it, he couldn't help but feel comfortable all over. It was the old lady's favorite incense, which had the effect of calming the nerves, nourishing the brain and relaxing the nerves.

The door of the room was slightly closed. Nanny Chen pushed the door open a little and reported softly inside, "Old Madam, Miss San is here."

Immediately, an old woman's voice came from the back room, "Bring her in!" "Yes!"

Only then did Nanny Chen completely push the door open, and said to Lu Ziyi, "Miss San, please!"

Lu Ziyi walked in slowly, and saw Xu wearing a brown silver silk embroidered shirt on the chair in the middle of the room, with a finely crafted white jadeite hairpin inserted into his gray temple hair, and a string of fine-quality jadeite hairpins on his wrists. Coral velvet beads, she closed her eyes lightly, and kept twisting the beads with her right hand. On the table next to her, there was freshly brewed tea, which was steaming and fragrant.

Knowing that the old lady had the habit of chanting scriptures, Lu Ziyi stood quietly by the side without disturbing her. After she finished reciting the Buddhist scriptures, Mrs. Xu slowly opened her eyes and waved to Lu Ziyi with a smile, "Third girl, come here!" Go!" "Yes!" Lu Ziyi obeyed and walked over.

As soon as Lu Ziyi sat down, a servant girl brought tea. The old lady held her hand, looked at her carefully, nodded and said: "Well, your complexion is much better this time, you are weak, you must drink more tea on weekdays." Pay attention to your body."

Lu Ziyi nodded, "Yes, Ziyi will pay more attention."

The old lady saw that Lu Ziyi lowered her eyes lightly, and she looked cute, but the coldness in her eyes could not deceive her, so she couldn't help but sighed softly, "Third girl, you are about to marry into the palace, Yuwang is young and vigorous, but also deep and arrogant. , you must change your cold and indifferent temperament, otherwise, you will suffer in the future."

In the eyes of the old lady, after a woman gets married, nothing is more important than capturing her husband's heart.As for how to compete for favor with other women in the palace in the future, how to protect herself in the fight, and foresight, she has to learn slowly by herself.Sometimes, the struggle between women is even more terrifying than men's struggle for power. It is impossible for those who hide in the dark, plot and calculate, and have no experience to understand.

Although Lu Ziyi disdained to change her temperament for a man, she knew that the old lady cared about herself, so it was inconvenient to show it in front of her, so she just responded lightly: "Ziyi understands." "Yiru, go and get the things I prepared." Come up." The old lady turned around and told Nanny Chen beside her.

Nanny Chen turned around and entered the old lady's room as she said. When she came out, she was holding a red brocade box in her hand. The brocade box was embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns with gold thread, which looked very noble and exquisite.
