Chapter 33 If you can’t eat the emperor’s melon, then eat Zhou’s
Pei listened to the noise coming from next door, and her frown finally relaxed a little.
However, the "disaster" that belonged to their Lu family has not yet passed.
It is still unknown how the Emperor and the Empress Dowager will deal with Lu Xinran and the Lu family.
If she had known that she would run into the emperor at such a close distance, she should not have thought of formally introducing him to the various governments in the capital.
Even if this is unfair, it is better than the dilemma they are in now.
"Mother, I think Xinran is a lucky child. Maybe this time he can escape danger."
Second Madam Kong smiled and comforted him softly. Perhaps she could feel Lu Xinran's previous thoughts more than anyone else.
She and Lu Kangping lived in perfect harmony and had been in love as always after their marriage for many years. Lu Kangping had only had her by his side all these years, without any concubines or maids. She had her husband's undivided attention and naturally knew how rare that was.
Lu Xinran sympathized with the queen and always stood on her side and spoke up for her.
Although this seemed to offend the emperor, it also made her pure intentions seem extremely rare.
If the Queen Mother and the Empress are willing to protect her, she and her Lu family will be fine.
Pei shook her head and smiled bitterly: "It has already come to this. Whatever we do now will easily be suspected. We can only respond to the changing circumstances by remaining unchanged."
After the 3:00 p.m. time, Lu Jinchuan and other imperial officials will arrive at Ronghui Garden one after another. She has already sent someone to deliver the message to him. Let's see what solution he can come up with.
The sounds from the room came intermittently, and Pei's headache became even worse when she heard Lu Xinran's heartless laughter.
The night banquet is the highlight of the birthday party. There will be people all around. Will she continue to cause trouble? !
"My eldest daughter-in-law, if you are not feeling well, why don't you take them back home first?"
Zhao was somewhat reluctant, as several princes would be over in the evening, and she also wanted to take the opportunity to let Lu Kangde mention the marriage between Lu Xinlan and the fourth prince.
She was unwilling, but Kong was afraid that Pei would be angry so she tried to smooth things over.
"Mom, it's not appropriate for us to act rashly now. Let Xinlan talk to Xinran later and tell her not to listen to or think about anything tonight and just wait quietly until the banquet is over."
Lu Xinran already trusts Lu Xinlan unconditionally, and if she believes Zhang Shuier's words, she will also accept him.
By the time Shen Shi and his group returned to the waterside pavilion, the three of them had become like long-lost sisters.
"My mother is calling me. I'll go back to her first. We'll go out and play together in a few days!"
Lu Xinlan smiled and nodded, watching her leave.
Lu Xinran heaved a sigh of relief, "Finally she's gone. She was so talkative."
He spoke so quietly as if he could know what she was thinking. He said only what she liked to hear, making her mouth dry!
When they arrived, Lu Jinchuan had already arrived with Lu Kangde and Lu Kangping.
Lu Jinchuan gave Pei a reassuring look, then narrowed his eyes and looked seriously at his granddaughter, who seemed well-behaved but was actually talking nonsense.
He had just knelt down before the emperor to confess his crime, and the emperor only asked meaningfully whether he had learned about the scandal between Zhang Youchang and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family from Lu Xinran.
He lay on the ground and recounted in detail what he had heard from Lu Xinran, including why the two sisters were swapped and what Fang Suxin had done over the years.
They also honestly told her about how they had accidentally helped the Fourth Prince solve a murder case.
As for what Lu Xinlan concluded about who can hear Lu Xinran's inner voice and under what conditions, he also explained it in great detail.
After hearing this, the emperor remained silent for a long time, and finally waved his hand to signal him to leave.
Lu Xinran had no idea that she had been at the emperor's "heart". After she sat down, she looked around.
But she still remembered that there were several ladies who stared at Lu Xinlan with harsh expressions.
She had to quickly identify the location of those people, then sneak over and eat the melons off their bodies.
"Don't run around, His Majesty and the Queen Mother will be here soon."
Hearing her thoughts, Lu Xinlan felt warm in her heart. She knew that this little girl had a conscience. It was worth her hard work and hair loss.
Zhao turned around and snorted arrogantly.
"I have the final say in Xinlan's marriage. Not everyone can take advantage of the daughter I raised with so much effort."
She took note of those shameless guys!
Don't fall into her hands in the future.
Lu Xinran watched her fall into confusion again. When did she become connected with Zhao mother and son? It was so scary!
Zhao shuddered, and also felt that her idea was a bit scary!
She glared at her fiercely, then turned back haughtily.
Lu Xinran was so confused by the stare that she turned around and saw her grandfather looking at her indifferently.
She quickly withdrew her gaze and sat up straight, fearing that she had offended the head of the family.
She is very satisfied with her current life. She eats and drinks well every day and has time to go out and enjoy entertainment.
Except for the person next to me being a little weird and looking like he always has trouble sleeping, everything else is perfect.
The people whom she despised as constipated started coughing. She looked around in confusion, always feeling that she didn't fit in with them!
At three quarters after 3 p.m., all the tables in the waterside pavilion were already full.
Those who had not received any news before coming here now heard everything that happened during the day from their families.
Many people were shocked to think that the concubine Chen, who had been favored for many years, would be forced to guard the imperial mausoleum.
Things are about to change in the harem.
I'm afraid the previous dynasty will not have peace either.
At the exact time of You, the Emperor helped the Empress Dowager into the waterside pavilion. Behind them came the Empress and her concubines.
As the emperor stepped into the waterside pavilion, he subconsciously looked at Lu Xinran. After learning that she could only know other people's secrets within ten steps, in order not to lose face in front of his ministers again, he rationally chose to let the Lu family get away!
It just so happened that he didn't want to listen to those noisy voices anymore.
However, the Queen Mother looked at the positions of the Lu family members and shook her head in dissatisfaction.
[Hey, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager are sitting on the platform, so far away! ]
[If you can’t eat the emperor’s melon, then eat Zhou’s! ]
[If there's nothing else to dig up, it's nice to take a look at the romantic affairs between Zhou Hanwen and Zhou Bingshan in the backyard! ]
[These two, father and son, huh? They raise both concubines together? ]
[It's so bloody, I have to watch it carefully! ]
Halfway through their walk, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager looked at each other, silently called Eunuch Fu, and moved the tables and chairs down from the high platform.
Well, sitting too high and being too distant from the ministers is not good!
