Chapter 351 Father, something terrible has happened!
Lu Yanshi chose Song Yulan's brand.
After all, Song Yulan wanted a child all her life. She had given so much to Daxia. It was just a child. There was no need to deny it to her.
Anyway, the country will not be destroyed, and he can afford to support as many children as he wants.
Unexpectedly, when the signs were presented, Song Yulan's sign was not there.
"Where is Concubine Lan's brand?" Lu Yanshi asked doubtfully.
"Concubine Lan has her period." The eunuch Li Zhong, who was delivering the sign, answered softly.
After hearing this, Lu Yanshi had no choice but to choose again.
There are so many concubines in the harem that Lu Yanshi couldn't make up his mind who to choose.
Seeing that he seemed to be hesitant, Li Zhong whispered, "Your Majesty, I heard that Lady Ling embroidered a painting of "Hundred Blessings" for the Ninth Princess with gold thread. Why don't you go and take a look tonight?"
Lady Ling?
Lu Yanshi couldn't remember which concubine this was for a moment.
"What benefit did you get from accepting her?" Lu Yanshi glanced at him.
Li Zhong knelt down hurriedly and said, "I dare not lie to the emperor. Today, I passed by Huixin Palace and happened to see Lady Ling mounting an embroidery. It was very beautiful. I just remembered it and shared the emperor's worries. As for the benefits, I did not receive any."
He paused for a moment, observing the emperor's expression, and then continued, "I just want to share the emperor's worries. After all, everything still needs the emperor's decision. If the emperor has made up his mind, I will prepare it immediately."
"Forget it. I'll listen to you this time and go to Huixin Palace." Lu Yanshi chose Lady Ling's brand.
Hearing this, Li Zhong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Lady Ling had given him a lot of money through her parents' home, and if he didn't help, he would be in trouble.
Fortunately, the emperor listened to his recommendation, and he helped Concubine Shang Ling.
"I will prepare it right away." Eunuch Li Zhong immediately sent someone to Huixin Palace to ask Concubine Ling to prepare to serve the emperor tonight.
Lu Yanshi finished reviewing the last memorial and was about to go to Concubine Ling's palace, but unexpectedly Lu Li showed up.
"Why is Xiaojiu here?" Lu Yanshi couldn't help feeling guilty when he saw his daughter.
What if Xiaojiu used the melon-eating system to peek at him flipping the cards tonight?
For the sake of his little daughter, he abstained from sex for a long time.
If the ban continues, it will take a long time before there is good news from the harem.
He is the emperor, and it is his responsibility to have children and grandchildren.
This can't go on any longer.
"Father, something terrible has happened!" Lu Li's first words made Lu Yanshi's heart hang in the balance.
"What happened?" Lu Yanshi's expression froze, and he immediately lost the desire to change the situation.
"Someone is going to assassinate you tomorrow!" Lu Li hurriedly told the news he got from the melon-eating system.
"Who is so bold?" Lu Yanshi was stunned.
"The people of Xinluo are planning to take advantage of my birthday party and have their Princess Jingshan assassinate you while performing a dance." Lu Li said angrily.
These people from Xinluo country are so shameless.
"You dare to assassinate me from such a small country? Aren't you afraid that I can blow up their entire country with a bomb?" Lu Yanshi's face was full of disbelief.
"Who knows where they get the courage from?" Lu Li spread his hands, feeling helpless.
"Okay, father got it. Thank you, Xiaojiu." Lu Yanshi looked at Lu Li with relief.
It's great to have such a precious daughter.
"You're welcome. So, father, are you going to Weiyang Palace tonight? Tomorrow is my birthday. Will you and mother accompany me?" Lu Li looked at him expectantly.
She hasn't slept with her father and mother for a long time!
"Okay, father will stay in Weiyang Palace tonight." Lu Yanshi naturally would not refuse his daughter's request.
He carried Lu Li to Weiyang Palace.
The queen felt helpless when she saw Lu Yan.
She just didn't want the emperor to come to her palace, so she asked the palace maid to send Xiaojiu to the study to find the emperor.
Why did Xiaojiu bring the person back to her?
But since everyone was here, she couldn't chase the emperor away, so she could only step forward and salute with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to bow." Lu Yanshi raised his hand slightly, motioning her to stand up.
The two chatted with Lu Li for a while, and after coaxing her to sleep, Lu Yanshi was too lazy to move and went to rest directly.
Kong Fuling waited in the palace for a long time, but the emperor didn't show up. She was so anxious that she almost tore her handkerchief into pieces.
After a lot of effort, she heard some movement at the door and thought it was Lu Yanshi coming. She quickly tidied her appearance, walked out quickly and wanted to pay her respects.
Unexpectedly, the person who came was Li Zhong.
The smile on her face froze.
"Eunuch Li Zhong, where is the emperor?"
"The Emperor went to the Weiyang Palace with the Ninth Princess for an urgent matter." Li Zhong replied helplessly.
"What kind of emergency could happen at this late hour?" Kong Fuling was almost crying with anger.
She waited for almost two years before she got this chance to turn over the card.
It was actually disrupted by the Ninth Princess.
"How can we, servants, ask about the emperor's affairs?" Li Zhong stared at her with a stern face.
"Lady Ling, please don't be confused." He reminded.
Li Zhong felt helpless as he took the money but didn't get the job done.
But he did his best.
If you want to blame someone, just blame this beautiful lady Ling for her bad luck.
After Li Zhong left, Kong Fuling lay on the table and cried bitterly.
"Juan'er, I have been waiting for this opportunity for so long. How could the Ninth Princess treat me like this?"
She cried more and more sadly, and she was out of breath.
The palace maid Juan'er was also very sad. This might have been the only chance for her beauty to turn things around, but it was ruined by the Ninth Princess.
She also felt resentful in her heart.
But now she could only persuade her master not to cry and try to attract the emperor's attention tomorrow.
Lu Li was fast asleep at the moment, not realizing that she had ruined someone else's favor. She just hoped that on her birthday tomorrow, she would be able to see her father and mother as soon as she woke up.
A good night's sleep.
Lu Li woke up and stretched.
"Happy birthday to the Ninth Princess." As soon as they saw her, the palace maids and eunuchs all blessed her with a smile.
"Let's have fun together." Lu Li took out silver peanuts from her small bag and gave each person a handful.
The eunuchs and palace maids on duty in the Weiyang Palace were all delighted.
The Ninth Princess was as generous as ever. This amount was enough to cover their salary for two months.
So wherever Lu Li went, there were blessings all around.
When Lu Yanshi learned about this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"This kid is really aggressive."
"It's all because of your kindness and generosity, Your Majesty." The Queen smiled faintly and seemed to be answering casually.
This straightforward praise made Lu Yanshi very happy.
"That's also due to the Queen's good teaching." Lu Yanshi responded with a smile.
Today is the Ninth Princess' birthday, so everyone in the court is on holiday and there is no need for morning court.
Later, officials of the fourth rank and above could bring their families into the palace to attend the banquet.
Lu Yanshi also dressed himself up carefully, and then secretly ordered the secret guards to focus on observing Princess Jingshan of Xinluo Kingdom today.
If anyone dares to assassinate him, capture him alive and then attack Xinluo.
