Chapter 89 Slapping Lu Mingzhu
Being scolded by a palace maid, Lu Mingzhu suddenly felt as if she was slapped in the face. Her face was burning with pain and her complexion turned pale and blue, looking very ugly.
Shaohua didn't care about Lu Mingzhu's unhappy expression. He picked up the cup and drank tea leisurely.
What does the love between Concubine Zhen and Concubine Shu have to do with her? She is a member of the Queen's palace. Does she need to give you face?
I'm hitting you in the face!
I told you to show off your power by bullying their little benefactors, huh!
The air suddenly became quiet and eerie. The servants in the main hall all hung their heads, wishing they could find a crack to crawl into.
Oh no, I saw the embarrassing scene of the Fourth Miss today. Will she hold a grudge against me in the future?
The old lady who followed closely was also terrified when she heard Shaohua's words. She didn't dare to blame Shaohua for scolding Lu Mingzhu, but she was afraid that she would anger the people around the queen and make the Lu family suffer, so she hurriedly said respectfully: "Lady, calm down, I will definitely teach Mingzhu well. I heard that you want to see the third girl, so I sent someone to send her over."
When Shaohua saw the old lady, she quickly restrained the fierce aura around her, smiled and bowed to her: "Hello, Madam Lu, I am Shaohua, you can just call me by my name."
Well, this is the grandmother who loves her little benefactor, and she must respect her well.
The old lady was so flattered that she didn't know what to say.
"Madam, Manager Du has gone to invite the Third Miss." A maid said hurriedly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was given a death stare by Lu Mingzhu.
You little slave, since you already knew that the maidservant next to the queen was looking for Lu Xiang, why didn't you tell her? She came here excitedly, but was ridiculed for nothing, and she lost all her face.
The maid shook her shoulders in fear, lowered her head even more, and complained silently in her heart.
Fourth Miss, as soon as you entered the room, you started talking without asking clearly, saying that the Queen had sent you an invitation, without even giving us a chance to speak.
Is it my fault?
Manager Du almost ran to Qixia Court to invite Lu Xiang. Upon learning that someone from the Queen's palace was coming, Lu Xiang did not dare to delay and came in a hurry.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Lu Mingzhu staring at him with resentful eyes. Her pretty cheeks were trembling slightly with anger, and she looked confused.
"Lu Xiang has met Aunt Shaohua."
"Oh, Third Miss, I dare not accept your gift." Shao Hua hurriedly stopped Lu Xiang from bowing and said in surprise, "The Queen will hold a chrysanthemum viewing banquet in three days, and she has specially ordered me to deliver the invitation to invite Third Miss to attend the banquet."
His attitude towards Lu Mingzhu was as cold as the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves, while his attitude towards Lu Xiang was as gentle as the gentle breeze and drizzle...
The different treatment before and after made people look at Lu Mingzhu involuntarily, with a meaningful look in their eyes!
Lu Mingzhu felt the gazes of her servants and almost bit her teeth off in anger.
How could that be?
Why would the senior maidservant beside the Queen be so friendly to Lu Xiang?
Obviously, she is the one who is superior.
She had finally managed to keep Lu Xiang under her feet by relying on Concubine Zhen's favor, and she would never let her rise again.
A sinister look flashed in Lu Mingzhu's deep eyes, like a poisonous snake hiding in the darkness, ready to move.
"Thank you for your invitation, Your Majesty. I am deeply grateful." Lu Xiang took the invitation and said with a smile.
Shaohua smiled so hard that her teeth were showing. "I will report to Her Majesty, and ask the Third Miss to come to the palace earlier on that day."
"Yes." Lu Xiang replied, and sent Shaohua to the gate, and did not turn back until the carriage left.
For a moment, the servants' eyes changed when they looked at her.
"Oh my god, the Queen Mother invited the Third Miss to a banquet. When did the Third Miss get close to the Queen Mother?"
"And they only invited Miss Three and not Miss Four. Miss Four will be so embarrassed."
"Hush, don't let the fourth lady hear this, or she'll peel off your skin."
"Oh, oh, oh, I thought it was great that the Fourth Miss hooked up with Concubine Zhen, but today I see she is just a drop in the bucket."
"That's right. Even if she caught the eye of Concubine Shu, it doesn't matter. After all, the Empress is the one who makes the decisions in the harem."
"The Third Miss is really a person who makes a splash when she doesn't make a sound. I thought she was suppressed by the Fourth Miss and had to avoid her, but I didn't expect the reversal to be so quick."
“…”
"Grandma." Lu Xiang returned to the main hall and shouted.
The old lady looked at Lu Xiang with some excitement, wanting to ask something but hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Looking at the friendly attitude of this female official towards you, I believe that the Queen likes you very much. That's good, that's good. You should prepare well and go to the palace for the banquet in three days. You have always been well-behaved, and I don't need to explain the rules. You..."
She originally wanted to say that there was Concubine Zhen in the palace, but she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips. Concubine Zhen now only cares about Mingzhu and doesn't care about Xiangxiang.
"Forget it. Just be careful in everything you do. As long as you don't push yourself too far and follow the rules, no one will make things difficult for you."
The old lady was happy and worried, and she kept talking to Lu Xiang for a long time.
Lu Xiang listened patiently with a gentle smile on her face. The chattering sounded more pleasant to her than the sound of nature.
Lu Mingzhu returned to her yard with a gloomy face. As soon as she entered the house, she could no longer control her anger and swept everything on the table to the ground in a rage.
When Liu heard that her daughter had returned home, she ran to Mingjiao Courtyard in high spirits. She stepped one foot high into the door and was almost cut by the flying porcelain. She was so scared that her face changed drastically. She quickly retracted her foot and stood at the door and said in surprise:
"Mingzhu, what's wrong with you?"
When Lu Mingzhu heard Liu's voice, she turned around with a sinister look.
"It's still that bitch Lu Xiang."
Liu didn't know that someone had come from the Queen's palace. When she saw Lu Mingzhu stopped throwing things, she carefully avoided the debris and walked to Lu Mingzhu's side.
"You are now a noble of the Lu family. If Lu Xiang dares to offend you, wait for your father to come back and ask him to punish her severely."
Her Mingzhu was the one that caught the eye of Concubine Shu, and the master loved and pampered her even more. Lu Xiang? Humph, she was nothing.
As Liu finished her words, Lu Mingzhu's expression not only did not improve, but became even more gloomy, as if there was something stuck in her throat.
Liu noticed that Lu Mingzhu's face looked strange, and couldn't help asking, "What...what happened?"
"Aunt, you don't know that the Queen will hold a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet in three days. Just now, the head maid beside her came to give Lu Xiang an invitation."
"What?" Liu was suddenly shocked: "Did you hear wrongly? Shouldn't the Queen send you a letter?"
How could I possibly give it to that little bitch Lu Xiang?
Liu's face was full of disbelief.
"No." Lu Mingzhu's face turned as black as charcoal. When she thought of Shaohua slapping her in the face in front of the servants of the Lu Mansion, the resentment in her heart grew wildly like a vine.
He was just a lowly servant, yet he had the audacity to scold her.
Liu felt a loud bang in her head and looked at Lu Mingzhu in astonishment: "How is this possible? How could the Queen recognize Lu Xiang?"
