Chapter 75
"But, will the Lu family agree? Although you have a high seniority, you are actually not a few years older than Miss Lu. The slaves are afraid that they will not give up."

"Hmph, if you don't want to part with it, you have to part with it. I cultivated that girl so hard, but I didn't want to see her marry someone else! It should be their Lu family, and it's time to repay me!"

Knowing that Lu Shishi is about to enter the palace to stay with Concubine Fang, the entire Lu family is very happy, thinking that this is a signal, thinking that Lu Shishi is about to enter the palace as a concubine, and the entire Lu family will follow suit!But Fang is also very worried about her daughter, because she has made up with Concubine Fang and knows that she is a woman who uses unscrupulous means to achieve her goals. In front of her, Lu Shishi can only be at the mercy of her.In this situation, the daughter will not be happy at all, at best, she is just a pawn of Concubine Fang Gui.

When there was no one around, Fang looked at her daughter distressedly, and asked: "Shishi, if you don't want to enter the palace, even if you risk your life, mother will protect you!"

"What's wrong with entering the palace?" Lu Shishi combed her long hair, with a weird smile on her mouth, and said quietly, "Isn't the eldest grandson Jingrong in the palace? Just right, the competition between me and her is not over yet, now , can finally continue!"

Fang didn't expect that Lu Shishi still remembered the hatred between her grandson Jingrong, and the worry in her heart couldn't help but deepened, and she said: "Mother doesn't care about Changsun Jingrong, but you are mother's daughter, how can you take your own?" What about lifelong happiness as a bargaining chip? As long as you enter the palace, your aunt will find a way to let the emperor accept the concubine, and even if you want to regret it, there is no chance!"

Looking up at Fang, Lu Shishi smiled and said, "Why should I regret it? What's wrong with being a noble concubine? Changsun Jingrong is just a sixth-rank female official, and my daughter is a concubine. She is my servant. At that time, my daughter can enslave her at will, even if she kills her, no one will do anything to her! Haha, as long as I think of that moment, my daughter will be restless with joy! I even hope that I can see it now. The appearance of my feet!"

"daughter……"

"Mother, you don't need to persuade me anymore. For the sake of the family and myself, my daughter will definitely enter the palace!"

Seeing Lu Shishi's firm attitude, Fang could only sigh helplessly.

Because of her eldest grandson Jingrong by her side, Han Wanxin hasn't had any troubles recently, and spends all day drawing flowers and plants, cultivating her self-cultivation.

Slowly, Han Wanxin realized that if she stopped worrying about the trivial matters of the harem, she would relax a bit. Even without herself, there would still be disputes and conspiracies, so why bother?
Seeing that Han Wanxin was much quieter, and her eldest grandson Jingrong felt a little more relaxed, at least she didn't have to comfort this sentimental woman all day long, and constantly soothe her entangled emotions.And just when Changsun Jingrong thought he could be a little cleaner, he ran into an acquaintance in the palace.

"Eldest grandson Jingrong? I really didn't expect that we would meet here!"

Looking at the woman laughing and laughing at Yan Yan in front of her, Changsun Jingrong knew that Lu Shishi had come prepared, and she didn't know what method she thought of to torture herself this time.

Seeing that the eldest grandson Jingrong didn't speak, Lu Shishi continued: "Although I'm just a visitor here, but soon, I will be your master. At that time, I really hope you can still be so calm and relaxed!"

"No matter who you are, the empress is the only one I serve." Changsun Jingrong didn't bother to pretend to be a snake with her, so he said bluntly, "Could it be that you have the intention to usurp us and become interested in the queen's position? Then I have to tell the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager quickly!"

"You... When did I say I'm going to be a queen?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Changsun Jingrong said: "You didn't say it, but it doesn't mean that others won't understand it. You just entered the palace, and you don't even know what it means to have trouble coming out of your mouth. Even if you didn't say anything, There are always people who want to frame you, let alone what you said? If I were you, I would stay quietly beside Concubine Fang Gui. After all, what she likes is a pawn who obeys her. If you ruin her business , I can guarantee that you will be much worse than me!"

"Nonsense!" Lu Shishi originally wanted to be proud of herself in front of her eldest grandson Jingrong and make her uneasy, but why in the end, it was herself who was worried and uneasy?By the way, Changsun Jingrong is the best at disturbing people's hearts. She must be scaring herself on purpose just now.Hmph, she is really funny, do you think you are an idiot, you will be fooled by just a few words?
After glaring at Changsun Jingrong fiercely, Lu Shishi said, "You don't need to be complacent, you will realize how big a mistake it was to mess with me after a while!"

"I have realized this problem now!" Changsun Jingrong raised his arms helplessly, looked at Lu Shishi and said, "The costumes of Wan'an Banquet should be written by you. You made me almost fall short. Didn't ask you to settle accounts, but now ran in front of me with arrogance? It's really funny! Since you are so obsessed with obsession, then I can only wish you good luck, and hope that your life in the palace will be smooth and smooth!"

After finishing speaking, Changsun Jingrong slid past Lu Shishi, and the latter shouted unwillingly behind her.

As the eldest grandson Jingrong walked, he reflected carefully, wondering when he offended this rich lady.But after thinking about it for a while, Changsun Jingrong still felt that he was innocent, which could only prove that this Lu Shishi was a lunatic!
I understand, Lingxiang Palace, the eldest grandson Jingrong knelt down beside Han Wanxin who was practicing calligraphy, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I just met Concubine Fang's niece, Miss Lu, in the palace."

The pen paused, and Han Wanxin asked, "What is she doing here?"

"I heard that they are staying in the palace for a short time to accompany Concubine Fang."

Throwing the pen out, Han Wanxin became angry again, and said darkly, "What's the matter, I'm afraid I'm looking for a new concubine for the emperor!"

Silently taking the pen back and putting it on the case, Changsun Jingrong said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry. You must know what kind of person Fang Guifei is. How could she let others steal her limelight? It must be because of Fang Guifei. Knowing that I am getting too heavy and unable to serve the emperor, I found my niece to serve on my behalf. It can be seen from this that the emperor's enthusiasm for the other noble concubine has decreased recently, which is a good thing for us!"

After thinking about it carefully, Han Wanxin smiled and said, "That's right, Concubine Fang Gui is extremely jealous, and anyone with prettier clothes than her will be calculated to go back, and find a young and beautiful one to share her favor." Pet? It's just, what do we need to do now, is it really difficult to wait for Concubine Fang to find a replacement?"

"Of course not," Changsun Jingrong said with a faint smile, "We just need to grasp each other's weaknesses and make use of them."

"Taking advantage of the other party's weakness..." Han Wanxin murmured, then looked at the eldest grandson Jingrong with bright eyes, and said, "We will use Fang Guifei's jealous temperament to shake her heart, so as to achieve the goal of differentiation." Purpose, right?"

Changsun Jingrong nodded lightly, and praised: "Your Majesty is so smart."

With the affirmation of the eldest grandson Jingrong, Han Wanxin clenched her fists and said with a high-spirited look: "In the past, I always waited passively to be framed. Now, I should take the initiative and let them see This palace is amazing!"

"Then empress, can you think about how to divide the relationship between the two of them?"

Eyes drooping slightly, Han Wanxin said: "Since we want them to misunderstand each other, it is natural to make them feel bad. I can let people spread some rumors about Concubine Fang's jealousy and pettiness, and then let Lu Shishi hear it on purpose. , she will become suspicious in her heart, so she will not willingly serve Fang Guifei!"

"That's too dangerous," Changsun Jingrong said softly, "In fact, there is a way to be an official, I don't know if the empress can accept it."

Upon hearing this, Han Wanxin hurriedly urged: "Say it quickly!"

"Then Lu Shishi has some small grievances and grievances with the lower officials. The more miserable the lower officials are, the happier she will be. Madam, you might as well let Lu Shishi know that you don't like the lower officials and despise them in every way, but after you met Lu Shishi by chance, you will treat her differently. As long as Lu Shishi thinks that she can surpass Xiaguan, she will come to Lingxiang Palace without hesitation, and see with her own eyes how miserable Xiaguan is after being abandoned. And after that, what will come out from the outside world is all your intention, my empress? "

After pondering carefully for a moment, Han Wanxin said: "This method is indeed good, but the sacrifice to you is too great. Your reputation in the palace has always been very good, and the Empress Dowager admires you very much, as well as the Ninth Prince... In short , this method is too unfair to you."

The eldest grandson Jingrong naturally knew the worry in Han Wanxin's heart. She was afraid that the Ninth Prince would come to her to vindicate her in a hurry. At that time, Han Wanxin might lose face.

Rourou looked at Han Wanxin, and the eldest grandson Jingrong said: "It's Jingrong's blessing to be able to work for your empress. As for other aspects, your empress doesn't have to worry, the subordinates will naturally solve it by themselves and won't cause any trouble for your empress."

Hearing what Changsun Jingrong said, Han Wanxin couldn't help but relax a little, but in her tone, she still said righteously: "Don't worry, I will never let you make sacrifices for nothing!"

"Thank you, ma'am!" Changsun Jingrong lowered her body slightly to cover up the expression on her face. No one knew what kind of mood she was in at the moment.

Lu Shishi only stayed with Concubine Fang Gui for five days before being sent back to Lu Mansion intact.It is said that when sending Lu Shishi away, Concubine Fang made a big fuss, but no one knew what happened between them.

On the other hand, Lingxiang Palace was still calm and peaceful, as if nothing had happened.

The Empress Dowager was very satisfied with this state, and when she was free, she also liked to sit in Han Wanxin's palace, drink tea and play chess with her.

After thinking for a long time, the Empress Dowager put down a chess piece and said with a slight smile: "Wanxin has improved a lot in chess recently, even Aijia is almost no match for you."

After receiving the compliment, Han Wanxin just curled her lips into a smile, and said, "Where, it's the emperor's grandmother who let the minister go."

"Don't be arrogant or impetuous, your temper is getting more and more tactful now, it seems that Aijia really didn't choose the wrong person for you." The empress dowager said while looking at the eldest grandson Jingrong who was standing aside.

Han Wanxin naturally knew who the Empress Dowager was referring to, so she pursed her lips and said, "The imperial grandmother's vision has always been very sophisticated." Han Wanxin looked sideways at the eldest grandson Jingrong again, and said with a smile, "Can Not many people are praised by the Empress Dowager."

Hearing this, Changsun Jingrong crouched down and said, "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your appreciation."

"Okay, you don't have to thank Ai's family. In the future, just take good care of the queen. Ai's family is a little thirsty, so go and get some ebony plums."

Serving refreshments was originally not within the scope of Changsun Jingrong's responsibility, but after the Empress Dowager arranged it this way, Changsun Jingrong knew that the two of them wanted to distract him and say some secret words, so he got up silently and left the room.

After Changsun Jingrong left, the Empress Dowager said, "Are you satisfied with Changsun Jingrong?"

Her gaze narrowed slowly, and Han Wanxin said: "The eldest grandson Jingrong is indeed a rare talent, but she is the person that the Ninth Prince likes after all. I don't know whether she is an enemy or a friend."

"As long as you think she is a usable person, you can maintain it with your heart." The Empress Dowager's eyes still fell on the chessboard, and she said slowly, "She is not your servant, and she cannot follow you wholeheartedly. But relying on interests to cling to relationships , to benefit both parties, you will cooperate far-reaching."

"You mean to cooperate with the eldest grandson Jingrong?" Han Wanxin frowned, and said with a little worry, "But you should know that the emperor has always been afraid of the Ninth Prince, and my son is afraid that getting too close to him will make the emperor taboo."

"The emperor is jealous of the Ninth Prince, but he also wants to contain him. If you can help the emperor gain some leverage, the emperor's attitude towards you will not be as cold as it is now."

These words made Han Wanxin regain his composure, looked closely at the Empress Dowager, and asked, "What does the imperial grandmother think, what should I do?"

With her eyes sinking, the Empress Dowager dropped a pawn in her hand into the empty space, and said at the same time: "Buy people's hearts and make the best use of everything!"

Buy people's hearts and make the best use of everything...

After savoring these words carefully, Han Wanxin seemed to have figured out something, but she also seemed to have thought of nothing.But when she came to her senses, the chess game in front of her had undergone earth-shaking changes.

"Hey, my son was about to win just now, so why was he blocked by the emperor's grandmother?"

Slowly leaning back, the Empress Dowager smiled and said, "This is called surprise. You are still too young, you know, sometimes forbearance is the key to defeating the enemy."

"The emperor's grandmother taught me that the son-in-law is still not thinking comprehensively enough. But, how to buy the eldest grandson Jingrong? She always looks calm and calm, and she always doesn't care when rewarding her."

"Think about it, why did she enter the palace in the first place?"

After hearing what the Empress Dowager said, Han Wanxin murmured: "The eldest grandson, Jingrong, came here to make fancy clothes for his ministers."

"Then why did she take this business? She doesn't have enough to worry about when we give her the money. "

Frowning tightly, Han Wanxin pondered for a while before suddenly saying: "For the benefit of the family!"

"This sentence can be right or wrong."

Han Wanxin was confused by the Empress Dowager's words, she looked at the Empress Dowager, and asked: "Is there any other meaning behind what the Empress Dowager said?"

Looking straight at Han Wanxin with smiling eyes, the Empress Dowager said: "The Ai family sent people to investigate, and the relationship between the eldest grandson Jingrong and his clan is not good, but she still worked hard to protect the family property. It proves that what she wants to protect is only her own clan. In this case, we can bestow honor on them and support them openly and secretly. In this way, won't the eldest grandson Jingrong be used by us?"

After thinking about it carefully, Han Wanxin said, "My son understands the meaning of the emperor's grandmother. Are you trying to blackmail her with the eldest grandson Jingrong's family?"

"It's not a threat, but a promise of lure." The Empress Dowager said, "Based on Changsun Jingrong's thinking, if someone persecutes her, she will definitely resist to the end. Changsun Jingrong, doesn't she call herself a businessman? Let's cooperate with her and weigh the pros and cons, and she will naturally know how to choose."

Keeping everything the Empress Dowager said in mind, Han Wanxin said: "I have written it down."

After another half hour, Changsun Jingrong walked in slowly with a cold ebony plum, put it beside the table, and then stepped aside.

After cleaning her hands, Han Wanxin twisted one and put it in her mouth, the sour and cool feeling made her squint her eyes, and praised: "Mmm, it's delicious! Grandmother, please try it too. "

The Empress Dowager waved her hand and said, "You young girls like these. Aijia is old and can't eat them anymore. Jingrong, come and try them too."

Hurriedly lowering his body, Changsun Jingrong said: "I dare not."

"Hey, there are no outsiders here. The Empress Dowager tells you to eat, so you can eat." Han Wanxin handed the plate to the eldest grandson Jingrong, and said with a smile, "Although it is autumn now, but when the sun comes out, It's also quite hot. You just ran around outside again, and it must be refreshing to eat a pill during this time!"

Seeing what Han Wanxin said, Changsun Jingrong had no choice but to pick up one and ate it, then bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Empress, for the reward."

"As long as you take good care of the Empress Dowager, this small reward is nothing," the Empress Dowager said with a smile, "These days, the Empress Dowager happens to be short of a female officer to take care of daily life, so you can fill this vacancy. All day long Throwing you in the Shangyi Bureau is really a bit humiliating."

The eldest grandson Jingrong knew that such a conclusion must be the result of the discussion between the empress dowager and the empress just now, but are they not guarded against themselves now?

While slandering in his heart, Changsun Jingrong bowed to the two of them and said words of thanks, but lowered his head deeply to cover up his expression.

"As long as you do well, the Ai family will not treat you badly." The Empress Dowager said with a smile, "The Ai family also knows that you are the eldest daughter of the family and are responsible for supporting the family. Having to let go of business is also a loss for your family. The Ai family thought about it and decided to confer a gift number for the eldest grandson!"
