   Chapter 215 Blocking (1)

   After Empress Dowager Zhao finished speaking, she sent the order down.

   Soon, two sixteen- or seventeen-year-old palace maids appeared in front of Li Jing.

   These two palace maids are all beautiful and slim. One looked quiet and gentle, and the other had a heroic look in his eyebrows, obviously carefully selected according to Li Jing's preferences.

When    saluted, the two maids each shyly glanced at the handsome second prince.

   As a palace maid, it is a great honor to be rewarded to the princes. Look at Yang Gongren. After serving for a period of time, she became pregnant, and when she gave birth to an offspring, she could be carried as a side concubine.

   There is a precedent for Yang Gongren. When the Queen Mother Zhao revealed that she was going to choose a palace person for Her Royal Highness, all the maids in Shouning Palace were eager to try.

   can stand out from the crowd of palace maids, both of them are naturally beautiful.

   Sure enough, this is the trick.

  Li Jing's expression remained unmoved, and he smiled coldly in his heart.

   Queen Qiao, who really cares about Lu Mingyu's body, never mentioned anything like taking a concubine. That is, Empress Dowager Zhao, without saying a few words, hurriedly showed bad intentions.

   This is to use two palace servants to stimulate Lu Mingyu. Discord between their husband and wife.

  Li Jing didn't look at the two beautiful palace maids, and said respectfully to the Queen Mother Zhao: "The grandmother's good intentions, the grandson should not have refused. It's just that the elder brother and elder sister-in-law have precedents, so how can I knowingly commit this crime?"

   Speaking of the eldest princess, Empress Dowager Zhao smiled.

  The eldest prince concubine Liang's miscarriage is due to depression, which is not unrelated to the two palace servants awarded by Meng Guifei. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are deeply troubled.

  Empress Dowager Zhao would never admit that she had such vicious thoughts, and quickly said with a smile: "Lu's practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he is in good health, but he did not respond during pregnancy, so it can be seen that his body is very good..."

   "The grandson is unwilling to take the slightest risk." Li Jing's attitude was gentle and firm: "In the grandson's heart, nothing is as important as the wife and children!"

Being retorted by her grandson in public, the Queen Mother Zhao couldn't face her face, and she couldn't laugh: "What do you mean by saying this! Aijia loves you so much, and specially found two gentle and pleasant palace maids to serve you in your daily life. How did it come to your mouth, It turned out to be malicious!"

  Li Jing raised his eyes and looked at the unhappy Empress Dowager Zhao: "The grandmother's kindness is accepted by the grandson. However, these two palace servants, the grandson cannot take them back."

   Empress Dowager Zhao: "..."

   Empress Dowager Zhao was impetuous, but did not get angry on the spot, but laughed: "Forget it, you don't want it, Aijia can still force you to fail."

   glanced away, and the two palace maids retreated tremblingly.

   Empress Dowager Zhao lost her interest in speaking, and wentssiped a few words beyond words, and sent Li Jing to retire.

  …

  Li Jing walked out of Shouning Palace and slowly let out a sullen breath.

  Empress Dowager Zhao is eccentric and confused, but she is the grandmother of her own relatives. The highest ranking, the longest seniority. Because of his filial piety, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't turn his face.

   Fortunately, he has made his attitude clear today.

   Empress Dowager Zhao knew that this road would not work, and it was time to restrain herself.

   It turns out that Li Jing still underestimated the Queen Mother Zhao.

   In the evening of that day, after Li Jing returned to the Lu Mansion, the porter greeted him with subtle eyes.

The big housekeeper Lu Jia's face was not so good-looking, and his voice was a bit hard, revealing his dissatisfaction: "Your Highness, today the palace has rewarded two palace servants, saying that they are people from the Empress Dowager's Shouning Palace, and they are reserved to serve His Royal Highness. If that's the case, why don't you send these two palace servants to the Second Prince's Mansion!"

  Li Jing: "..."

   The flames in Li Jing's heart ignited, and his face sank.

   What a queen Zhao!

   He has clearly refused. The Empress Dowager Zhao actually sent the person directly to the Lu Mansion!

  Lu Mingyu is pregnant, if he sends people back in a fit of anger, he will fall into the reputation of being disrespectful to his elders. Just leaving the two palace servants behind, how could Lu Mingyu not be angry or angry?

   This is all about making things difficult for their husband and wife!

  Lu Jia obviously misunderstood. Thinking that Li Jing had been told by himself that he was unhappy, he snorted heavily in his heart.

unacceptable!

Miss    is pregnant and is having a miscarriage. The palace was so generously rewarding people. Isn't this intentional to block the lady? This matter, the second prince will never be ignorant. But he didn't even send a message back, what does that mean?

  Lu Jia was dissatisfied when he heard Li Jing ask in a deep voice, "Where is Xiaoyuren? Where are the two palace servants?"

Lu Jia replied expressionlessly: "The second prince and concubine is in the yard. The two palace servants were sent to Lu's house half an hour ago. Xiao Xiao didn't want them to disturb the second prince and concubine's tranquility, so he didn't take this matter. Report to the prince and concubine. Instead, they will be sent to the guest room first. Your Highness wants to see them, and the little one will lead the way to His Highness immediately."

  Li Jing glanced at Lu Jia: "You handled this matter right. Don't tell Xiaoyu first, bring the two palace servants over, and I will send them back to the palace."

   When Lu Jia heard this, his heart calmed down a lot, and his tone softened: "It's getting dark, and the palace gate is about to close. Your Highness might as well wait until tomorrow to deal with these two palace servants."

  Li Jing said lightly: "You can't let them stay overnight in the Lu Mansion. It will be too late to deal with them tomorrow. Don't say anything, just do as I tell them."

   This is a real man!

   When encountering such a thing, you should go forward and protect your wife behind you.

   Lu Jia's heart calmed down a lot, and he didn't persuade him any more.

   After a cup of tea, two palace servants were brought over.

   The two beautiful palace maids were initially apprehensive, but after seeing the cold face of His Highness the Second Prince, their hearts trembled, and they knelt down at the same time.

  The masters competed against each other, and the two of them were just pawns and couldn't help themselves.

   Li Jing glanced at them coldly: "Get on the carriage immediately, and I will take you to the palace."

   The expressions of the two palace maids changed, their whole bodies trembling like chaff, and they kowtowed repeatedly: "The Empress Dowager has an order, if Your Highness and the prince and concubine don't want to have slaves. The slaves don't go back to Shouning Palace."

   "His Royal Highness sent the slaves back to the palace, and the slaves had no way to live."

   "I beg Your Highness for mercy, and spare the slaves' lives. Leave the slaves behind! The slaves must serve the Highness and the Empress with all their hearts, and they will never dare to be a little crooked."

   The two beautiful palace maids cried and kowtowed while begging for mercy, tears streaming down their faces, and they looked pitiful.

  Unfortunately, they cried so pitifully that they didn't impress Li Jing.

   Li Jing is usually gentle and smiling, but at this time it was as cold as ice, and he didn't move at all: "Come on, send them two on the carriage."

  The two palace servants were "supported" into the carriage, and their cries were clearly audible.

   At this moment, a familiar voice sounded: "What's going on?"

   is Lu Mingyu.

  Li Jing's heart tightened and he turned around: "Xiaoyu, why are you here?"

  Lu Mingyu's gaze swept across the carriage where the woman's cry was heard, and then landed on Li Jing's tense and angry face: "What happened?"
