"I thought you called me here for something else? Turns out it's just this?" Lu Zhaofeng said calmly, with an air of nonchalance. "I just saw you were in a dilemma and wanted to help you out."
Consort Shu: ...
Avert disaster!?
"Marriage is a serious matter, not something to be taken lightly. How can such a thing be used to extricate oneself from an awkward situation?" Consort Shu's head was spinning.
Especially since they seemed indifferent, as if they didn't care about it at all.
I felt like I was being choked and suffocating.
Consort Shu sighed helplessly, "As for Madam Meng, it's fine to just say something to appease her. But now that you've said this, with so many people listening, what if the Emperor really issues an edict? I wonder how you'll handle that situation."
"Oh, don't worry, it's impossible." Lu Zhaofeng said dismissively.
"How can you be so sure?" Consort Shu stared at him intently for a while.
Lu Zhaofeng remained silent.
However, his eyes kept looking upwards.
"Don't worry about me, go check on Qianqian." Lu Zhaofeng tried to change the subject: "Today is Qianqian's 100-day celebration."
Consort Shu looked solemn.
She stared at Lu Zhaofeng for a long while, then suddenly seemed to realize something: "Oh, I know, you wouldn't happen to like the eldest daughter of the Imperial Censor, would you?"
Lu Zhaofeng was caught off guard and choked on a mouthful of saliva, causing him to cough violently.
"Cough cough cough"
"What nonsense are you spouting? You can't just talk about things like that."
Seeing his overreaction, Consort Shu had another thought: "Could it be that Second Brother was really right?"
“You…” A blush crept onto Lu Zhaofeng’s cheeks: “…What nonsense are you spouting? How could that be?”
"Second Brother, are you shy?" Consort Shu seemed to have discovered a huge secret: "If Second Brother really has taken a liking to that Miss Xia, I will go and ask the Emperor to grant you two a marriage."
"Stop joking." Lu Zhaofeng's face instantly darkened.
"Then why are you blushing?" Consort Shu teased.
“I was coughing.” Lu Zhaofeng’s eyes darted away. “Now that you’re a mother, why do you still tease me like you did when I was a child?”
Consort Shu couldn't help but sneer.
"Your Majesty, why are you still here?" Bin'er ran over from a distance: "The Emperor is looking for you everywhere, you should go quickly."
Consort Shu's smile vanished instantly: "Okay, I understand."
When Consort Shu arrived at the banquet hall, everyone was already seated.
Emperor Yuanwu left an empty seat for her on his left.
To his right, the Empress sat calmly.
Consort Shu was taken aback.
I really didn't expect that.
The empress, who had been plotting to kill her, was actually saved because of her daughter's 100-day celebration with a general amnesty.
They've been released!
How ironic.
"It's been a long time since I've seen Consort Shu," the Empress greeted her familiarly.
Consort Shu quickly composed herself, curtsied, and said, "Greetings to Your Majesty the Empress. I pay my respects to Your Majesty the Empress."
"Consort Shu, you are the main character today, come up and sit down." The Empress has adopted the demeanor of the Empress.
“That’s right.” Consort Zhen smiled gracefully: “The Seventh Princess is favored by the Emperor. The emperor granted a general amnesty every day during her hundred-day celebration. We sisters all benefited from this.”
The smile on the Empress's face suddenly froze.
She was stunned for a while before she came to her senses.
"Consort Zhen is so eloquent. I live deep within the palace, and there are many things I can't think through completely," the Empress said sullenly.
"Now Her Majesty the Empress is finally enjoying some peace and quiet," Consort Liang added.
