Chapter 109 109: Self-inflicted can't live

The old lady's cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, staring at the slim young girl in front of her, those black eyes as quiet as a lake, shining brightly like stars: "Okay, just do your best, and don't offend the queen because of it."

Lu Mingzhu has already offended Concubine Shu, Xiangxiang must not offend the queen again.

"Okay, I'll play it by ear."

When Lu Xiang left the house, Qiao Jingru was walking around in the yard.

"Sister-in-law!" Lu Xiang called out.

Qiao Jingru raised her head, then strode up to Lu Xiang, looked at her seriously and said, "I just came here to tell you, no matter what you do, I will support you."

Lu Xiang was stunned, and then a smile spread from the corner of her mouth: "Sister-in-law, what you said really moved me so much that I wish I could agree with you."

Qiao Jingru chuckled: "You can easily see that Lu Mingzhu's matter won't affect our family. Are you going to enter the palace? Let's go. Although the Qiao family has no power, they have money. If you need help, just ask. "

She was indeed frightened a lot today. Since she was a child, she grew up under the care of her parents and elder brothers. She has never been wronged, but it doesn't mean she doesn't understand anything.

Although Lu Xiang might not need her confession, Qiao Jingru felt that she had to say something to express her position.

When Lu Mingzhu caused trouble, the concubines in the palace could not escape the revenge of Concubine Shu, and the Lu family would suffer setbacks.

But seeing Lu Xiang's calm appearance, he must have already had a countermeasure.

Lu Xiang had the token given by Empress Song, so she entered the palace without hindrance, and entered Jingren Palace. When the little maid saw her, she quickly saluted her respectfully: "Miss San Jin'an." Then she took her away. side hall.

Everyone in Jingren Palace knew Lu Xiang's position in the queen's heart, and there was no such thing as asking her to wait outside for the transmission.

"Your Majesty, Miss San is here." The little maid reported outside the hall, and then made a gesture of invitation to Lu Xiang.

"Xiangxiang, come in quickly." Queen Song said hurriedly.

Lu Xiang walked into the hall: "Good luck, empress."

Empress Song put down the booklet in her hand and asked Zisu to serve tea.

"Going into the palace at this time, I guess it's for the sake of the concubine?"

"The empress is wise."

Zisu put the teacup in front of Lu Xiang, and then backed out.

Empress Song looked at Lu Xiang and said, "The concubine Zhen offended Concubine Shu, and was punished by Concubine Shu to kneel at the gate of Chuxiu Palace. She is still kneeling, and the whole palace has been spread all morning."

Not very harmful, but extremely insulting.

One crop after another saw the joke of the concubine Zhen on the grounds of passing by Chuxiu Palace.

The concubine Zhen is a concubine at any rate, and being slapped in the face like this is worse than beating her a few times.

"My daughter dares to ask your mother to help the concubine." Lu Xiang knelt down and saluted, willing to ask.

Empress Song hurriedly pulled her up, and said: "If you open your mouth, I will naturally agree, but the concubine treats you badly, and I don't like her at all."

Lu Xiang was stunned, a feeling of warmth surged in her heart, she said with a slight smile, "With my mother's love, I don't care if the concubine treats me well, but I just can't bear my grandmother worrying about it."

Anyway, she doesn't like the chastity concubine either.

Although the concubine Zhen is a concubine, no matter how powerful Concubine Shu is, she would not dare to use the torture that was used on Lu Mingzhu on the concubine Zhen, so she does not feel sorry for the concubine Zhen being punished.

Empress Song smiled heartily, and immediately shouted: "Shaohua"

"Niangniang." Shaohua entered the hall.

Empress Song ordered: "You go to Chuxiu Palace to convey the will of my palace. The concubine Zhen wrote a good hand. I want her to come to Jingren Palace to copy Buddhist scriptures."

"Yes, servant girl will go now." Shaohua Fushen replied.

When Shaohua left, Empress Song looked at Lu Xiang and said, "I heard that Concubine Shu was furious, and sent Wei Li to the Lu family to tell her that she tortured Lu Mingzhu because Lu Mingzhu's embroidery was damaged. What's going on? ? If Lu Mingzhu was damaged, how could Concubine Shu not find out until today?"

Lu Xiang thought for a while, and said, "To tell you the truth, on the embroidery of the Hundred Birds Chaohuang presented by Lu Mingzhu to Concubine Shu, the Phoenix's eyes have no eyeballs. This is a birthday gift that Concubine Shu intends to give to the Empress Dowager, not insinuation." Does the Empress Dowager have blind eyes? If she finds this problem in the hands of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager Shu will offend the Empress Dowager, so the Empress Dowager Shu will be furious and severely punish Lu Mingzhu."

Empress Song showed a look of astonishment, and after a moment of stunned, she said: "No wonder, Lu Mingzhu was held in front of Concubine Shu by the concubine Zhen. She made such a big mistake, it's no wonder Concubine Shu can forgive Concubine Zhen."

"But having said that, Lu Mingzhu's embroidery skills are superb, and she was ordered by Concubine Shu, so she shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake."

Lu Xiang pursed her lips and said, "Because she didn't embroider this pair of embroidery..."

"What do you mean?" Empress Song looked at Lu Xiang incredulously: "She asked someone to embroider for her, how could Lu Mingzhu have the guts to deceive Concubine Shu..."

Lu Xiang suddenly knelt down: "Your Majesty, forgive me, my daughter didn't mean to deceive Your Majesty..."

"Why are you kneeling again, get up quickly." After being surprised, Empress Song pulled Lu Xiang up: "I said that I will protect you, but I didn't just talk about fooling you, let alone Lu Mingzhu who lied to Concubine Shu. What does this palace have to do with it, it deserves your nervous apology."

Lu Xiang supported Empress Song's hand to stand up, sat down again, and continued: "When Lu Mingzhu first returned to Lu's house, I treated her sincerely as a sister, and she said she wanted to give a gift to the concubine in the palace. , but thinking that the concubine Zhen has never seen any treasures in the palace, no matter what she gives, it will not show her sincerity."

"So she wanted to embroider a screen for the concubine, so she asked me for help, saying that her embroidery was rough, and she was afraid that what she embroidered for the concubine would make the concubine dislike her and even look down on her. I was thinking of my sisters at the time, It was just a matter of convenience for me, so I agreed."

"At that time we were in Yangning City, and the concubine Zhen was far away in the palace. We didn't know whether she liked it or not. We didn't know that the screen was favored by Concubine Shu until the concubine Zhen went out with the emperor to return to Lu's house for a short stay a few months ago. , Concubine Zhen gave it to Concubine Shu, and because of this she loved Lu Mingzhu a lot, and Concubine Shu embroidered a hundred birds and phoenixes and made it into a screen and gave it to the Empress Dowager."

"This matter is very important. Lu Mingzhu couldn't embroider it, and she didn't dare to tell Concubine Shu. She was afraid of offending Concubine Shu, so she threatened me to finish the embroidery for her. But before I finished all the embroidery, she took it away. I Thinking that there were only Phoenix's eyes and auspicious clouds left to embroider, it was not difficult, so she let her take them away. But she never expected that Lu Mingzhu would make such a big mistake so carelessly, and her father and grandmother were shocked. "

Empress Song was also dumbfounded while holding a teacup.

After regaining her senses, she slapped the teacup heavily on the table: "All the credit for a long time is yours. If Lu Mingzhu is not arrogant and makes mistakes this time, the empress dowager's appreciation of Concubine Shu is all due to Lu Mingzhu." .

"Ha, it's really self-inflicted, but I have to thank her for being so greedy, otherwise you will be snatched by Concubine Shu.
