Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 215: Blocking (1)
After Empress Dowager Zhao finished speaking, she sent the order down.
Soon, two sixteen- or seventeen-year-old palace maids appeared in front of Li Jing.
These two palace maids are both beautiful and slim. One looked quiet and gentle, while the other had a heroic look in his eyebrows, obviously carefully selected according to Li Jing's preferences.
When saluting, the two maids each shyly glanced at the handsome second prince.
As a palace maid, it is a great honor to be rewarded to the princes. Look at Yang Gongren. After serving for a period of time, she became pregnant, and when she gave birth to an offspring, she could be carried as a side concubine.
There is a precedent for people in the Yang Palace. When the Queen Mother Zhao revealed that she was going to choose a palace person for Her Royal Highness, all the maids in Shouning Palace were eager to try it.
Able to stand out from the crowd of court ladies, both of them are naturally beautiful.
It was indeed the trick.
Li Jing's expression remained unmoved, and he smiled coldly in his heart.
Queen Qiao, who really cares about Lu Mingyu's body, never mentioned anything like taking a concubine. That is, Empress Dowager Zhao, without saying a few words, hurriedly showed bad intentions.
This is to use two palace servants to stimulate Lu Mingyu. Discord between their husband and wife.
Li Jing didn't look at the two beautiful palace maids, and said respectfully to the Queen Mother Zhao: "The grandmother's good intentions, the grandson should not have refused. It's just that the elder brother and elder sister-in-law have precedent, how can I knowingly commit this crime?"
Speaking of the eldest prince concubine, Empress Dowager Zhao smiled.
The eldest prince concubine Liang's miscarriage is due to depression, and it is not unrelated to the two palace servants that Meng Guifei admired. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are deeply troubled.
Empress Dowager Zhao would never admit that she had such vicious thoughts, and quickly said with a smile: "Lu Shi has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he is in good health, but he did not respond during pregnancy. It can be seen that his body is very good..."
"The grandson is unwilling to take the slightest risk." Li Jing's attitude is gentle and firm: "In the grandson's heart, nothing is as important as the wife and children!"
After being retorted by her grandson in public, the Empress Dowager Zhao couldn't lose face and couldn't laugh: "What do you mean by saying this! Aijia loves you so much, and specially found two gentle and pleasant palace maids to serve you in your daily life. How did you get here? In your mouth, it turned out to be malicious!"
Li Jing raised his eyes and looked at the unhappy Empress Dowager Zhao: "Grandmother's kindness is accepted by grandson. However, these two palace servants, grandson can't take them back."
Empress Dowager Zhao: "..."
Empress Dowager Zhao was impetuous, but did not get angry on the spot, but laughed: "Forget it, you don't want it, Aijia can still force you to fail."
With a glance, the two palace maids retreated tremblingly.
The Empress Dowager Zhao lost her interest in speaking, and wentssips a few words without words, and sent Li Jing to retire.
…
Li Jing walked out of Shouning Palace and slowly let out a sullen breath.
Empress Dowager Zhao is eccentric and confused, but she is the grandmother of her own relatives. The highest ranking, the longest seniority. Because of his filial piety, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't turn his face.
Fortunately, today he has made his attitude clear.
Empress Dowager Zhao knew that this road would not work, so she should restrain herself.
It turns out that Li Jing still underestimated the Queen Mother Zhao.
In the evening of that day, after Li Jing returned to the Lu Mansion, the porter greeted him with subtle eyes.
The face of the big butler Lu Jia is not so good-looking, and his voice is a little hard, revealing his dissatisfaction: "His Royal Highness, today the palace has rewarded two palace servants, saying that they are people from the Queen Mother Shouning Palace, and they are reserved to serve. Your Highness needs food, clothing and daily living. Since that's the case, why don't you send these two palace servants to the Second Prince's Mansion!"
Li Jing: "..."
Li Jing's heart ignited, and his face sank.
What an empress dowager Zhao!
He has clearly refused. The Empress Dowager Zhao actually sent the person directly to the Lu Mansion!
Lu Mingyu is pregnant. If she sends people back in a fit of anger, she will lose the reputation of being disrespectful to her elders. Just leaving the two palace servants behind, how could Lu Mingyu not be angry or angry?
This is all about making things difficult for their husband and wife!
Lu Jia obviously misunderstood. Thinking that Li Jing had been told by himself that he was unhappy, he snorted heavily in his heart.
Too much!
Miss is pregnant and is having a miscarriage. The palace was so generously rewarding people. Isn't this intentional to block the lady? This matter, the second prince will never be ignorant. But he didn't even send a message back, what does that mean?
Lu Jia was dissatisfied when he heard Li Jing ask in a deep voice, "Where is Xiaoyuren? Where are the two palace servants?"
Lu Jia replied without expression: "The second prince and concubine is in the yard. The two palace servants were sent to Lu's house half an hour ago. The little one didn't want them to disturb the quietness of the second prince and concubine. Report this matter to the empress and concubine. Instead, they will be sent to the guest room first. Your Highness wants to see them, and the little one will lead the way to His Highness immediately."
Li Jing glanced at Lu Jia: "You handled this matter right. Don't tell Xiaoyu first, bring the two palace servants over, and I will send them back to the palace."
When Lu Jia heard this, his heart was relieved a lot, and his tone softened: "It's getting dark, and the palace gate is about to close. Your Highness might as well wait until tomorrow to deal with these two palace servants."
Li Jing said lightly: "You can't let them stay overnight in the Lu Mansion. It will be too late to deal with them tomorrow. Don't say anything, just follow my instructions."
This is a real man!
When encountering such a thing, you should step forward yourself and protect your wife behind you.
Lu Jia's heart was much calmer, and he didn't persuade him any more.
But after a cup of tea, two palace servants were brought over.
The two beautiful palace maids were initially apprehensive. After seeing the cold face of the Second Prince, their hearts trembled and they knelt down at the same time.
The masters are fighting each other~IndoMTL.com~ The two of them are just pawns, and they can't help themselves.
Li Jing glanced at them coldly: "Get on the carriage immediately, and I will take you to the palace."
The expressions of the two palace maids changed, their whole bodies trembling like chaff, and they kowtowed repeatedly: "The Empress Dowager has an order, if Your Highness and the concubine do not want slaves. The slaves don't go back to Shouning Palace."
"His Royal Highness sent the slaves back to the palace, but the slaves had no way to live."
"I beg Your Highness for mercy, and spare the slaves' lives. Leave the slaves behind! The slaves must serve the Highness and the Empress with all their hearts, and they will never dare to have any crooked intentions."
The two beautiful palace maids cried and kowtowed while begging for mercy.
Unfortunately, they cried so pitifully that they didn't even impress Li Jing.
Li Jing is usually gentle and smiling, but at this time it is as cold as ice, and he has not moved at all: "Come on, send them two on the carriage."
The two palace servants were "supported" into the carriage, and their cries were clearly audible.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded: "What's going on?"
It's Lu Mingyu.
Li Jing's heart tightened and he turned around: "Xiaoyu, why are you here?"
Lu Mingyu's gaze swept across the carriage where the woman's cry was heard, and then landed on Li Jing's tense and angry face: "What happened?"
