[Red House] Harem Road in Spring

Chapter 235

What kind of person is Lu Guifei's mother?

When people walk in, the first impression they give people is that they are gentle, generous, well-educated and reasonable, a typical lady of the family, maybe Mrs. Ge has been doing it for a long time, and Mrs. Lu still has an atmosphere.

It should be said that Mrs. Lu is a perfect mistress of a big family.

"Kowtow to the empress, the empress is blessed and safe." Mrs. Lu saluted.

Her manners are perfect.

"Madam Lu, please get up," Yingchun said.

Not knowing Madam Lu's intention for coming to the palace, she saw the tricks, as the saying goes, when a guest comes, a natural person has good tea and wine to entertain him, and if it is an enemy, there is no shortage of thunderous tricks.

"Yes, thank you Empress."

After Madam Lu got up, her eyes swept over Jing Baolin, her expression was gentle, but Jing Baolin shrank back involuntarily, as if she wanted to hide herself.

The corners of Yingchun's mouth curved, thinking in her heart.

After Madam Lu got up, she looked at Yingchun with a troubled expression, as if I had something to say and came to ask.

Yingchun picked up the tea and took a sip, as if she didn't see Mrs. Lu's behavior.

Mrs. Lu looked at Jing Baolin again, staying for a long time this time, obviously wanting Jing Baolin to speak out.

But since the concubine passed away, Jing Baolin is like a quail that has been scared out of her wits. In the past, she would tease Yingchun from time to time. Now, she can't wait to put on an invisibility cloak in front of Yingchun. How could she speak as Madam Lu wished? How about drawing Yingchun's attention to herself?

Therefore, where Jing Baolin dared to fulfill Mrs. Lu's wish, she shrunk her body back even more, looking hopeless.

Madam Lu withdrew her eyes with hatred for iron and steel, and Xian Fei who was sitting beside her had a meaningful smile on her lips.

The identities of the three people in the palace flashed through Mrs. Lu's mind one by one. She knew that if she didn't speak up, no one would rescue her.

It can't be said that she was disappointed, in the past, it was said that the noble concubine of their family had a good relationship with the empress and concubine Xian, but how could she not know what was going on inside?And Jing Baolin, although it is also from their Lu family, but Jing Baolin's family is just a commoner branch in the Lu family, and they don't have much obsession with the prosperous Lu family. Jing Baolin cultivated by such a family, even if After many days of training in their Lu Mansion, at first glance it looked fine, but it couldn't stand the test, no, I don't know what happened in the palace, the death of their noble concubine also frightened Jing Baolin's courage .

"Originally, I shouldn't disturb the queen's purity, but the courtier's family is sad when they learn of the sudden death of the imperial concubine, and they are worried about the second prince raised by the imperial concubine. Let the courtiers come to the palace to see if they can allow the courtiers and his wife to burn a fire for the imperial concubine." Burn incense to comfort the courtiers, wife and husband for the loss of their daughter."

Mrs. Lu's tone of voice was soft, but her words were not weak. The word "sudden death" was well used, as if she was talking about how the palace dealt with their mother.

Although it is true!But don't their family know what the imperial concubine did?How can it be?Without the cooperation of the Lu family, how could it be possible for the imperial concubine to complete such "excellent" calculations.

Could it be that Mrs. Lu thinks that the emperor has a guilty conscience because he didn't punish their Lu family?What Concubine Lu did, even if her house was ransacked, it would not be an exaggeration, how could the Lu family have the right to enter the palace to ask the reason, with an attitude of wanting the royal family to compensate.

If it weren't for the emperor thinking about Lu Lao, the elder of the three dynasties, even though he went astray in the later period, he did indeed resist the pressure of the Manchu Dynasty and did a few good things for the people when he was in his hands, how could the emperor spare the Lu family lightly? .

But this also shows that the Lu family has declined!

The death of Concubine Lu Gui was due to her strengthened control over the inner palace and the support of the emperor. Many people knew that Concubine Lu Guifei had committed a crime and died, but they didn’t know why Concubine Lu Guifei died. If the Lu family was at its peak, it would definitely pass The eyes and ears know something, but the emperor cleaned up the palace several times, and many nails were abolished. Now, as long as the emperor doesn't want to, it is difficult for people outside the palace to know the news in the palace.

This is also the reason why the Lu family entered the palace with a sense of luck, with a sense of accountability, and wanted the royal family to compensate their Lu family for Concubine Lu.

Yingchun put down the teacup in her hand and looked up at Mrs. Lu who was looking down. There was no sternness in her eyes, but it made Mrs. Lu feel anxious.

"Empress?" Mrs. Lu reminded again, she seemed to want to speak to relieve the pressure in her heart.

"What? The imperial concubine passed away and the emperor did not issue an order to the Lu family to explain why?" Yingchun said flatly.Because of Yingchun's position, even if she didn't show her power, it still feels oppressive.

It was the cold weather in late autumn and early winter, but Mrs. Lu's forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat.

Mrs. Lu suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and said in a measured tone, "The emperor said that the concubine was convicted, but did not say what the concubine committed. Because the concubine is always well-behaved when she is at home, the ministers and others can't guess what the concubine committed. Something. The noble concubine may have done something in a daze, but the blood relationship, the person suddenly disappeared, and the ministers and others felt sad, but they also wanted to send the noble concubine to the empress."

After all, she didn't dare to say too presumptuous words as she planned before entering the palace.

Did you push it cleanly?

"I heard that Mrs. Lu was pregnant again after giving birth to the young son, but unfortunately she didn't keep it. I heard it was still a girl?" Yingchun said in a flat tone, as if she was not angry because of the hidden meaning in Mrs. Lu's words.

The expression on Mrs. Lu's face changed drastically, her face was pale, and a bit of hatred flashed in her eyes, but she quickly controlled her expression, now is not the time to dwell on the past, but to think about why the Empress would say such words , what is the meaning of it?

To be able to obtain the imperial order of the first rank, to gain a firm foothold in the Lu family, to allow her direct son to occupy all the resources of the family, and to become the admirable Mrs. Ge in Beijing. people?

Combined with the scene before the empress said these words, she actually quickly understood what the empress hadn't said.

The queen was refuting what she said that the imperial concubine was always well-behaved in the Lu family.

After giving birth to her youngest son, she hadn't been happy for many years. At that time, the master saw that the imperial concubine was cute and smart, and thought of putting her by her side to cultivate a good family. It was also a great help for the family, but who knew it planted the root of disaster for her.

Later, she became pregnant at an older age, and looked forward to giving birth to a daughter with great care. She already had more than one son, and she was very smart. Naturally, she wanted to have a caring daughter who could talk privately. The nuns also said, look at the pregnancy Apparently, ten percent is a daughter.

But who knew, it was precisely because the mothers said that she was pregnant with a daughter, which made Lu Yao think wrongly.

If her daughter is born, she must be the eldest daughter. The position of the eldest daughter has always been different from other hers, even the second daughter is not as good as her. However, because of the master's selfishness, Lu Yao was enjoying everything of the eldest daughter at that time. Lu Yao was afraid that after her biological daughter was born, she would lose her position as a resource that favored her, so she viciously attacked the child in her womb.

At that time, Lu Yao was only a little girl who was not even big enough to reach an adult's breasts, who would be wary of such a small child?However, she, who hunted wild geese all day long, was successfully calculated by the child, and she was about to be five months pregnant and had a miscarriage.

With such a vicious heart at such a young age, how could she be that well-behaved girl in her mouth?Is this what the queen empress wants to express?

Although Mrs. Lu thought so, she was lucky enough to think, could it be that she was thinking too much?After all, how could the Empress know about the things that are waiting for her?

If there is no empress, the Jia family is just a family that has no title and is about to lose. From there, they found out the secrets in the backyard that the Lu family tried their best to hide.

Taking chances, Mrs. Lu said, "Yes, it's a pity that the minister's wife is too old to secure her pregnancy."

The corners of Yingchun's mouth curved slightly in an unclear manner, and the sarcasm on Concubine Xian's face was undisguised, only Jing Baolin couldn't understand the meaning of their words.

Perhaps it was because Concubine Xian's expression was too revealing, which made Mrs. Lu's heart skip a beat, with a bad premonition.

"My wife's husband was old and fell ill due to the pain of bereavement, and he was worried about the second prince, so he sent his wife into the palace to beg the empress, and also saw Jing Baolin. For love's sake, take care of the second prince more." Madam Lu hurriedly made amends, which was also the last temptation.

First of all, it is stated that she entered the palace because of Lu Lao's dispatch, not her own will, and then use the second prince and Jing Baolin as a test. If the empress really knows the past, she can be safe as long as she expresses her attitude. The empress didn't know, she was thinking too much, so she told the purpose of their Lu family and asked the empress to agree.

The master of their family lost his old face for many years and abandoned the emperor's leniency to the old ministers, and then dragged the second prince into the Lu family's sphere of influence. How could all this be wiped out because of the death of the noble concubine?

Although Jing Baolin is not a good candidate, she is the daughter of the Lu family after all. Only by pushing the second prince to Jing Baolin can it be guaranteed that the second prince is on the Lu family's side in a certain sense.

At the same time, this is also the purpose of Mrs. Lu's entry into the palace. Regardless of how Lu Yao died, she is already dead. The first thing they need to do is to get something from Lu Yao's death.

If Lu Yao died abnormally, it is difficult to guarantee that the emperor and queen will not give them some compensation to the Lu family because they want to keep quiet, such as dragging the second prince into their Lu family's camp.

Before entering the palace, they had already analyzed the situation in the palace in detail. The empress had two princes who were born in the same family, and based on their understanding of the empress, they could be sure that the empress would never accept raising the second prince.In addition, the rest of the palace are Concubine Xian and Jing Baolin. Although Concubine Xian has secretly taken refuge in the queen, but Concubine Xian's family is still defeated, and there is only one opportunity to recover. If Concubine Xian wins The second prince will definitely be a huge threat to the prince born in the future.So even if there is an alliance, the empress will definitely not do such a thing like raising a tiger and handing over the second prince to the concubine Xian.

Apart from Concubine Xian, the only remaining concubine in the palace is Jing Baolin from their Lu family. Moreover, Jing Baolin and Concubine Gui are sisters of the same clan, and they can also be regarded as the aunt of the Second Prince, who is also famous for taking care of the Second Prince; Because Jing Baolin's status is low and the threat to the queen is very small, she believes that the empress must know how to choose when it comes to dealing with such future interests.

As for enmity, in the face of real interests, enmity is nothing!

Letting Jing Baolin raise the second prince is the best choice for the Empress.

Mrs. Lu's idea was very good, but as soon as she said the words, Jing Baolin's expression changed immediately, she looked at Yingchun hurriedly, and hurriedly explained, "No, the humble concubine is no more than a district of Baolin, so she can take care of you. The second prince?"

If there are many obstacles, people will grow. Today's Jing Baolin is no longer the reckless girl from the Lu family when she first entered the palace.

She was afraid, she was afraid that because of Mrs. Lu's proposal, the empress would misunderstand that she was thinking of fighting for power in the harem because of the death of the imperial concubine.No matter how stupid she is, after experiencing the death of the noble concubine, she also knows that the current empress is in full control of the harem, and no one dares to tease the tiger's beard.

Yingchun didn't have any opinion on Jing Baolin because of Mrs. Lu's words, but looked at Mrs. Lu, and said with a little surprise, "The second prince naturally has his mother's family to care about. What does it have to do with the Lu family?"

Mrs. Lu's eyes widened in surprise, what did the empress empress mean?Wouldn't it be what she thought? .
