Chapter 88 Weird Brain Circuits
Shaohua said, "The embroidery skills of the fourth young lady of the Lu family are so amazing that Concubine Shu likes it very much. The screen in Concubine Zhen's palace was embroidered by the fourth young lady Lu, and then given to Concubine Shu by Concubine Zhen. This time when Concubine Zhen returned to the palace, she presented five sets of embroidery to Concubine Shu. A few days ago, the fan with a red jade handle sent to the Empress from Chuxiu Palace was embroidered by the fourth young lady Lu."
Queen Song showed a look of surprise: "No wonder..."
No wonder Concubine Zhen respected this concubine's daughter so much, it turns out she is really capable.
"But..." Shaohua paused, then revealed a trace of worry, and said: "When Concubine Zhen returned to her hometown to visit her relatives, she took Miss Lu Fourth to meet guests everywhere, and she was very popular at the time. When talking about the daughters of the Lu family, everyone often praised Miss Fourth and belittled Miss Third, saying that she was a legitimate daughter with no talent or virtue, and was not even as good as a concubine's daughter. Now that the Lu family has come to Beijing, I have made detailed inquiries. Miss Third and Miss Fourth do not have a good relationship. Concubine Zhen is so high-profile in praising Miss Fourth. I am afraid that those who follow the wind will embarrass Miss Third in order to flatter Miss Fourth."
"My lady, you can't let Miss Three be bullied." Yun Lu clenched her fist and said, "I will go to the Lu Mansion and invite Miss Three to enter the palace."
The Third Miss is their savior. They love and protect her like a treasure, so how could they let others bully her?
Empress Song tapped the table with her delicate jade fingers. After a long silence, she said, "Shaohua, Yunlu, pass on the order. I will hold a chrysanthemum-viewing banquet in the imperial garden in three days. I invite the ladies of all families to enjoy the flowers and crabs. Please write the invitation and send it out."
To flatter?
I will show you what true respect is.
Since entering the palace, Queen Song seldom held banquets except for a few major festivals or the banquets that she had to hold as the mother of a country. This time, she suddenly arranged one with great fanfare. There was a lot of talk in the palace, but the Queen gave the order and the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not dare to delay and immediately got busy.

The note to Lu Xiang was delivered to Lu's residence by Shaohua in person in the evening. At that time, Lu Mingzhu had just returned home and was sitting in the old lady's room.
"Has my second sister gone home? It's a pity that I couldn't meet her today."
"It doesn't matter. We are all in the capital. We will meet again someday." The old lady said, "I am going to see Concubine Shu today. What does the Queen say?"
The old lady was pointing at the scar on her forehead.
When talking about this, Lu Mingzhu's brows blossomed with endless smiles: "The Queen Mother treats me very kindly, and those young ladies are also very polite to me. The Queen Mother invited Imperial Physician Zhong to come. The Imperial Physician said that the wounds on my granddaughter's forehead and back are new and are still in the recovery stage, so there is still hope that they can be healed. It's just a matter of time. Once he prepares the plaster, I will apply it on time. It will take at least half a year, and at most a year for it to be healed as before."
With Doctor Zhong as a guarantee, Lu Mingzhu's nervous and anxious heart of the past few days was instantly relieved.
She can wait as long as she can get back to normal.
The old lady's dignified face showed a faint smile. She was happy for Lu Mingzhu from the bottom of her heart when she heard the news: "That's good. You must be tired after a day in the palace. Go back and rest."
"Yes, Grandmother." Lu Mingzhu said, standing up and taking a piece of fabric from Huamei, and handed it to the old lady: "This is the cloud silk brocade awarded by the Concubine Shu. I think the simple and elegant color is just right for Grandmother."
"Since it's a reward from the Queen, you should keep it."
Lu Mingzhu showed a cautious and flattering expression: "Granddaughter wants to honor grandma."
The old lady paused, then took it over helplessly: "You are thoughtful."
Seeing the old lady accept it, Lu Mingzhu immediately showed a happy expression: "Grandma, your granddaughter will take her leave first."
However, when she lowered her eyes, no one noticed the flash of disdain in her eyes.
At this time, a maid hurried in and bowed, saying, "My dear old lady, just now Chief Steward Du came to inform us that a female official from the Queen's palace has come to our house to deliver a letter."
The old lady stood up from her chair in shock, her eyes wide open: "What..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lu Mingzhu.
She folded her hands excitedly, her rosy face showing excitement: "The Queen must have sent someone to deliver the invitation to me. Where is the person?"
Because she was favored by Concubine Shu, the Queen also took notice of her.
The maid looked at Lu Mingzhu blankly and said, "In the main hall..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingzhu immediately ran away happily.
The old lady was startled for a moment, then went as well, but her brows were slightly frowned, vaguely feeling that it was not what Lu Mingzhu thought.
She also knew something about the Queen's visit to Yangning City. It was Xiangxiang who met the Queen and told Youping. If there was anyone in the Lu family who had any connection with the Queen, it was only Xiangxiang.
With doubts in her mind, the old lady went to the main hall.
Shaohua was sitting in the hall. As the queen's maid, everyone had to treat her with courtesy, not to mention that she had a high rank.
Lu Mingzhu trotted into the main hall and immediately saw Shaohua, who was sitting beside her with an elegant demeanor. She smiled and bowed to her, saying, "Hello, auntie. I'm sorry to bother you to come and send me the invitation. I just came back from the palace. If I had known that the queen wanted to see me, I would have gone directly to see her and saved you the trouble of going all the way."
Shaohua immediately understood the identity of the person in front of him.
The fourth daughter of the Lu family!
But this girl's train of thought is a bit weird...
Who gave you the confidence to say these words in front of her and even go straight to pay homage to the Queen? Have some shame.
Shao Hua looked at Lu Mingzhu who was so shameless and was shocked: "Who are you?"
Lu Mingzhu was startled, then she thought that as a servant, she might not know her, so she smiled and said, "I am Lu Mingzhu, the fourth daughter of the Lu family. Concubine Zhen is my aunt. She invited me to the palace today."
She was the only one in the entire Lu family who was given the privilege of entering the palace, so Lu Mingzhu never thought that the Queen's invitation would be given to anyone else.
She also didn't know that Lu Xiang had met the queen once before.
Shaohua glanced at her indifferently and said in a cold tone: "Oh, I don't know the Fourth Miss. I am here to see the Third Miss today."
The smile on Lu Mingzhu's face froze like dried dog shit. She looked at Shaohua in disbelief, then frowned unhappily: "Impossible, Auntie is not mistaken, the Queen's post was sent to me."
Who the hell is Lu Xiang? Concubine Zhen doesn't like her at all. How could she be invited by the Queen? This servant must have made a mistake.
"How insolent." Shao Hua said angrily with a gloomy face: "Young lady is a lady of an official family after all, please be mindful of your words and actions."
