Chapter 124 I'm free
She should be polite to someone close to the Third Miss.
Qiao Jingru was flattered and dodged for a moment: "I don't dare to accept your gift from my aunt."
Yunlu gave her a kind smile, and Qiao Jingru felt like she was floating.
After entering the room, Yunlu waved her hand and the little palace maids came in one after another, each holding something in their hands. Yunlu excitedly showed them to Lu Xiang one by one, and finally took the rose cake she had made and placed it on the table like presenting a treasure.
"I brought the rose cake that Third Miss likes to eat. It's still not warm from the oven." Yun Lu said with a smile, and then said to Qiao Jingru, "Madam, please come and appreciate my cooking skills."
Qiao Jingru took it with great trepidation.
Oh my god, she has made it.
The senior maidservant beside the Queen personally made cakes for her.
Although she was relying on Lu Xiang's help.
Lu Xiang was chatting with Yun Lu while Qiao Jingru was sitting beside them eating. Although she couldn't get a word in, the two of them didn't ignore her. Even after sending Yun Lu away, Qiao Jingru was still in a daze and didn't know what was going on.
"Xiangxiang, give me a piece of rose cake so I can take it back as a gift."
The corner of Lu Xiang's mouth twitched fiercely: "..." What kind of weird operation is this?
"What's the point of offering it up? Will it attract bugs?"
Qiao Jingru said to her angrily: "The cakes in the Queen's palace, are they something that ordinary people can eat?"
"Sister-in-law, I think you are too idle so you are thinking about these useless things. Come on, go and check the accounts."
"I'm serious."
"Yes, I'm really bored." Lu Xiang pouted speechlessly: "Have you bought the shop and farm I asked you to buy?"
"I've bought the manor, but I haven't bought the shop yet. The price is too high. I have to bargain. They think we are from outside the city and are trying to trick us. You just wait."
"Don't hold on for too long, just enough."
A few days after Yunlu came to deliver the gifts, Zhenpin also sent Suwei out of the palace and back to Lu Mansion, bringing with her the jewelry and materials that Zhenpin had chosen for her.
Hearing that Lu Xiang was in the old lady's courtyard, Su Wei went to Fuyuan Hall.
"This servant greets the old lady. May the old lady be blessed. I greet the Third Young Lady and the First Young Mistress."
The old lady looked at Su Wei with a smile on her face: "Stop being polite. Why did you come back so suddenly? Does Zhenpin have anything to tell you?"
"The Queen ordered me to bring some gifts to the Third Miss. The gifts are not expensive. I hope the Third Miss will not despise them." Su Wei finally looked at Lu Xiang and said with a hint of flattery in her smile.
Upon hearing this, the old lady's smile deepened: "Xiangxiang, come and see if you like it."
Concubine Zhen sent the gift as a gesture of goodwill. The old lady was pleased to see that her daughter had seen Lu Xiang's good qualities.
Three pieces of jewelry and two pieces of cloth. It wasn’t a lot, but they were carefully selected to suit Lu Xiang best, and not just casually given as a gift.
Lu Xiang took the gift and smiled at Su Wei, "Thank you, sister Su Wei, for coming here in person to thank Concubine Zhen for me. I like it very much."
Su Wei looked at Lu Xiang with a sincere look in her eyes, smiling: "I will definitely convey Third Miss's words. Your Majesty feels very guilty for not knowing people well. Thank you Third Miss for not holding a grudge against me."
"Madam Zhenpin and I are one family. Helping her is helping the Lu family."
The old lady looked at Lu Xiang with great satisfaction. This was what a family was like, helping each other instead of being selfish and stabbing each other in the back.
"How is your queen?" the old lady asked Su Wei.
Smiling, she said, "In reply to the old lady, the queen is doing well. The queen has blessed her and asked her to go to Jingren Palace to copy scriptures every day to accompany her. Concubine Shu is afraid of the queen and dares not do anything for the time being."
"That's good, that's good." The old lady smiled lovingly and said, "You and Fuyue accompanied Concubine Zhen into the palace. You should advise your master well when encountering problems. This time, we are lucky to have the help of the Queen. You may not be so lucky next time."
"yes."
"It is a blessing for the Lu family to have been favored by the emperor for several lifetimes. Many women have entered the palace but have never been able to see the emperor. I have also figured it out. Now that she is a concubine, there is nothing to be dissatisfied with. As long as she is a good person, that's all."
Su Wei bowed her head and replied, "What the old lady said is right. Your Majesty is thinking the same thing now. If the Queen needs her, she is willing to do her best to serve. If the Queen does not send an edict, she will close the palace door and live her own life. As long as she does not offend the Queen, Your Majesty's position as a concubine will be secure."
"Well, as long as she is fine, the Lu family will not fall."
The old lady no longer asks Concubine Zhen to achieve much in the palace. She thought that she would have someone to rely on by relying on Concubine Shu's Lu family. But who would have thought that Concubine Shu would turn against her so cruelly and beat her to death.
Su Wei stayed for a while and then left. Mother Wen personally saw her out of the house.
Lu Xiang took the gift sent by Concubine Zhen and left Fuyuan Hall. After thinking for a while, he deliberately went around from Heyuan to Qixiayuan.
When passing by the gate of the Lotus Courtyard, Wu Yue deliberately raised her voice and said, "Young lady, you have helped Lady Zhenpin so much this time. Lady Zhenpin is grateful and has carefully selected the gift she sent. I think it is better than the one I gave to Miss Four before."
"Really? I didn't pay much attention to it, but I like everything given by Concubine Zhen."
"According to this servant, there is no harm without comparison. Concubine Zhen herself said that it was her fault for not being able to judge people well in the past. Only after something happened did she know who was truly good."
"Don't say that, we are all family."
"Yes, Miss, you go through fire and water for your family, but some family members stab you in the back..."
The two of them walked away while talking, and their voices drifted into Liu's ears in the room, making her so angry that she almost tore the handkerchief in her hand.
Lu Xiang, this bitch...
She climbed up the social ladder by stepping on her daughter. Now the master holds her in high esteem, Concubine Zhen is grateful to her, and everyone in the Lu family revolves around her, while her Mingzhu is suffering in the countryside. Why does Lu Xiang live such a comfortable life?
She wants her to die miserably!
After walking a long way, Wu Yue looked back and asked, "Miss, are you planning to make Aunt Liu sick again?"
Lu Xiang chuckled and glanced at her: "Even if Aunt Liu has a poor psychological endurance, she won't fall ill if I provoke her with a few words."
"Then why did we come all the way here?"
"I have nothing to do." Lu Xiang said with a smile, "Seeing Aunt Liu being upset by my provocation makes me happy."
A while ago, Lu Mingzhu won the favor of Concubine Zhen and showed off in front of her like a big shot. Now the situation has changed, and it is her turn to show off.
Well, even if Liu wasn't sick from being angry, she would be so angry that she would be jumping up and down in the room. When she thought of Lu Mingzhu who was sent away, she must be feeling even more heartbroken.
