Chapter 225 Such a Beauty
Meng Yan narrowed her eyes, looked him over, leaned back against the soft pillow, and replied calmly, "Prince Shen, thank you for your courtesy. I am too heavy to get off the sedan chair to return the gift. Please forgive me, Prince."
The person who came was Lu Hao's half-brother, the second son of commoner Yang, Prince Shen Lu Su.
As a descendant of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Lu Su, like Lu Haozhi, inherited the bloodline of the Lu family. He has an outstanding appearance, like a handsome jade tree in the wind, but his eyebrows are thin and his eyes are narrow, which makes him look more feminine. If he puts on makeup and wears colorful clothes, he will be the young female role on the stage.
Meng Yan looked at Lu Su with an indifferent expression, but in her mind she imagined Prince Shen putting on makeup and dressing up as a woman.
Thinking of this, she almost laughed out loud, but she quickly pinched the back of her hand to forcefully suppress the smile that was about to spill out of her lips.
In fact, Meng Yan had never had much contact with Prince Shen. It could be said that they had no grudges in the past or in the present, but deep down she always had an inexplicable annoyance towards this guy.
It wasn't just because of Lu Haozhi, even Meng Yan herself couldn't figure out where this hatred came from.
Prince Shen seemed to have been unknown in his previous life. Because of the involvement of his biological mother and brothers, he was walking on thin ice in the palace. He only knew how to fawn over the emperor and the empress dowager. Until Meng Yan died in the cold palace, no major actions were heard from him.
But in this life, he was much more active and often walked around in the palace.
I don't know what he is planning.
Lu Su didn't take her cold tone seriously. He straightened his back and smiled slightly. "I heard recently that the Empress's wife had a difficult pregnancy and was often suffering from restless fetal movements. So I sent someone to find the best donkey-hide gelatin and send it to the palace. This donkey-hide gelatin is very suitable for women to maintain a stable pregnancy. I wonder if the Empress' wife has used it?"
His voice was cold and vague, and his black and white eyes stared directly at the charming and seductive face of the current queen without any awe or scruples.
Meng Yan turned her head slightly with some disgust, avoiding his gaze.
The unhappiness in her heart was probably due to those insolent and rude eyes.
It was cold, sticky, and carried a hint of greed that she didn't want to think about. It was like a cold and slippery poisonous snake hiding in the corner of the imperial city, watching her, waiting for an opportunity to bite her.
Meng Yan shook her head slightly, dispelling this nameless fantasy.
Her red lips parted slightly, and she uttered a few words that were cold yet polite, "Prince Shen is thoughtful. However, there are imperial physicians in the palace, and I am also well versed in medicine and pharmacology. This minor symptom is nothing to worry about, and there is no need for Prince Shen to worry about it."
After saying this, she smiled faintly and said, "Prince Shen, as a prince of noble descent, should focus all his energy on the important affairs of the court, in order to relieve the emperor's worries and benefit the people. He really shouldn't be distracted by trivial matters in the harem. Let's put this matter aside from now on."
As the queen, she knew that Lu Su had sent people to Changchun Palace to deliver donkey-hide gelatin, but she had no idea what this guy was planning.
After all, she had never had any connection with this person in her past or present life.
Because of the previous incident, Lu Haozhi was deeply displeased with this so-called brother. Since he had always been obedient, he hadn't given him any trouble. However, as his bedmate, Meng Yan, as intelligent as she was, knew his innermost thoughts. Therefore, without concealing anything, she ordered the palace servants to deliver the donkey-hide gelatin to the Yangxin Palace that day and explained the matter clearly.
Lu Haozhi did not say a word, but ordered the palace servants to pour all the donkey-hide gelatin into the toilet, and ordered the Imperial Hospital to select some additional good supplements and send them to Changchun Palace.
His disgust is evident from this.
The Queen's words clearly indicated her refusal to have any contact, but Lu Su seemed not to understand. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are very polite. We are uncle and sister-in-law, so we are relatives in mourning. Your Majesty is pregnant, so it is only natural for me to visit and care for her. Moreover, your Majesty is enduring such hardships for the sake of the Great Zhou royal family and raising children. I also want to share your worries and difficulties."
As he spoke, Lu Su stared at the woman sitting high on the sedan chair.
As gorgeous as spring flowers, with a noble temperament, such a beauty is worthy of the emperor!
