Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 163: Difficulty (1)
After serving the tea, Lu Mingyu went to the Taimiao Temple with Li Jing to pay tribute to the ancestors, adding an addition to the genealogy of the Li family. After passing this level, Lu Mingyu officially became the second prince concubine.
The palace banquet at noon on this day was set in the Jiaofang Hall.
Empress Dowager Zhao was out of breath and did not attend, citing physical fatigue.
The Empress Dowager Zhao was clearly indifferent. Obviously not a wonderful thing for a new princess. But Lu Mingyu was calm and calm.
Whether it's real or fake, it's amazing.
The palace banquet was for two people, and Lu Mingyu and Li Jing, the newlyweds, took it for granted. From time to time, Li Jing served Lu Mingyu with vegetables, and the piles quickly came to the fore.
Princess Hui'an was really unhappy when she saw it. In the past, the two brothers and sisters have always had a good relationship. Since Lu Mingyu appeared, she and Li Jingsheng had had several spats...
It's not quite appropriate to describe it as a quarrel.
The truth is that every time she opens her mouth to provoke or provoke her own brother, she is slapped back by her own brother. Depressed, let alone.
"Princess, this is your favorite braised goose paw." Consort Wu said with a low smile, "I have prepared a lot for you, you can eat it slowly."
Princess Hui'an came back to her senses and saw a bowl of braised goose feet with pointed braised goose feet.
Concubine Wu smiled in a low voice: "You have been looking at the second brother and the others, and you can see that you are envious. As a brother-in-law, how can I lose to the second brother!"
Princess Hui'an was amused and twisted the arm of Wu's concubine.
Concubine Wu shivered in a pretentious manner.
The relationship between husband and wife can be seen at a glance.
Lu Mingyu saw this scene in his eyes and couldn't help but smile.
Princess Hui'an is known to be domineering and cruel. It is difficult for Wu's concubine to mingle with Princess Hui'an.
The eldest princess was also watching this scene and quickly lowered her head. The eldest prince by his side also winked. He smiled and picked up the dishes and put them into the eldest prince concubine's bowl: "You have lost a lot of weight recently, so eat more."
The eldest princess smiled and said softly, "Thank you, Your Highness."
In the past six months, the eldest imperial concubine first had a miscarriage, followed by a lingering sick bed. Yang Gongren had been pregnant for more than four months. The imperial physician in the palace, who is good at diagnosing the pulse, has already diagnosed that Yang Gongren is pregnant with a son.
The eldest prince was overjoyed, and he went to Yanxi Palace every three or five times to greet him, and by the way, he visited the people of Yang Palace.
However, the eldest prince is not bad for the eldest prince and concubine. At least, it is more caring to greet people in front of others.
……
After the palace banquet, Emperor Yongjia went to Wenhua Hall to handle political affairs.
Meng Guifei and others got up and retire one after another.
In the end, only Lu Mingyu, Li Jing, Princess Hui'an and Consort Wu were left.
Queen Qiao was tense for a long time, but at this moment, she was relieved.
Before Queen Qiao opened her mouth with a smile, Princess Huian opened her mouth and said to Lu Mingyu: "Lu Mingyu, how dare you be so daring to be so disrespectful to the imperial grandmother."
This is quite rude to listen to.
Li Jing's expression darkened, and he was about to speak. Lu Mingyu stopped him with his eyes.
Princess Hui'an didn't appreciate it, but glared at Li Jing: "As soon as your daughter-in-law is married, you turn to her everywhere. As my aunt, can't I say a word?"
"The grandmother shouldn't make things difficult and mean today. However, her old man has always had such a temper. For so many years, the mother and the queen had to endure and give in. The reason is clear to our sister and brother. Because the father and the emperor are always filial, No one is allowed to disrespect and disrespect the royal grandmother."
"Sister Huang's words are reasonable." Lu Mingyu answered the words without haste: "I also took this into consideration, so I am extra docile and respectful today."
Princess Hui'an: "..."
Princess Hui'an choked on the words "docile and respectful", not knowing whether to be angry or to laugh.
Queen Qiao coughed: "Huian, don't worry. Mrs Lu has just entered the door, and she doesn't know your grandmother's temper. It is indeed a little bit past. However, your father has not attacked, and this matter has passed. Don't mention it!"
Princess Hui'an was furious when she heard it: "The queen mother, you are also facing her! The father did not have a seizure, but the father looked so ugly in the morning, and the mother saw it..."
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Consort Wu tugged at Princess Hui'an's sleeve. Princess Hui'an was getting angry, she turned her face and sprayed: "Why are you pulling my sleeves!"
Wu's concubine is so good-natured that she can still laugh: "Okay, I'll let go now."
Princess Hui'an suddenly turned her head and continued to say angrily: "Where did I say wrong? The mother was always trembling, and the second brother was gentle and humble. It's going to cause trouble!"
Queen Qiao couldn't do anything about her bad-tempered daughter, so she was about to coax her with patience. I heard Lu Mingyu say: "I am afraid that I will implicate the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness."
Princess Hui'an snorted: "That's right! You're so angry, and the grandmother will be whispering in the father's ear. In the end, this account is not credited to the mother and the second brother."
Lu Mingyu said indifferently: "You just said the opposite. If I swallow my anger, I will only implicate the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness."
"There are no outsiders here, so I'll make it clear. Grandma's actions today are not accidental. Someone must have instigated it. The real intention is to humiliate me, a newly entered imperial concubine, and even press the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness. ."
"The Queen Mother is the Empress of the Middle Palace, and the first wife of the Royal Father. His Highness is the direct son of the Royal Father, and his status is more precious than the other princes."
"Wives are more important than husbands. I, the second prince concubine, are naturally more valuable than the first prince concubine and the third prince and fourth prince concubine who are about to marry."
"As soon as I enter the door, I will be bullied by others. How can I raise my head in the future?"
"I backed down everywhere from the beginning. Can anyone step on me in the future?"
"In the long run, who else will take the lineage of the direct descendants of the Zhonggong into consideration?"
A series of rhetorical questions ~IndoMTL.com~ left Princess Hui'an speechless.
Queen Qiao's expression also sank slightly.
Li Jing stared at his new wife, but said nothing.
He has understood Lu Mingyu's heart.
The court is the battlefield for men, the important affairs of the state, the tedious government affairs, the exchanges with civil and military officials, the courtiers, and so on. It's what he's going to do.
The harem is a battlefield for women.
She can handle it all! No need for his help!
As long as he's by her side, that's enough.
Lu Mingyu's eyes are bright, and her voice is decisive and firm: "So, from the beginning, you must show your edge. In the future, whoever wants to provoke me will have to measure himself, whether he has such ability."
"Everyone knows I'm not easy to mess with, so naturally no one dares to mess with me."
