When they arrived at Cining Palace, Lu Yuanyuan came over soon.
Leaving Qingning and Jingxing in Cining Palace to accompany the Queen Mother, Luo Ran and Lu Yuanyuan went to Fengqi Palace together, and happened to meet Yue Wanhe on the way.
Lu Yuanyuan spoke quickly and asked after saluting, "Why did Sister Wan come out so late?"
Yue Wanhe stepped forward to help the two of them up, and said: "I was here earlier, but I had something to do in the East Palace, so I went back again. I just happened to meet you, let's go."
What would cause the pregnant princess to leave the East Palace to Fengqi Palace, and then go back to the East Palace from Fengqi Palace?
Although they are both in the palace, Fengqi Palace and East Palace are located in the north and the other in the southeast. Even a palace servant with quick legs and feet would take more than half an hour to go back and forth, let alone a pregnant person.
Luo Ran and Lu Yuanyuan looked at each other and saw that Yue Wanhe had no intention of saying anything, so they didn't ask any questions.
When several people arrived at Fengqi Palace, some ladies and ladies were already there.
Because it was only the Mid-Autumn Festival, even if the emperor agreed, the queen did not invite too many people. They were all ladies she was familiar with. Of course, including people from Rongguo Duke's Mansion and Kang Lehou Mansion.
When Liu Guifei saw Luo Ran coming with the Crown Princess, she giggled while holding her handkerchief, and everyone looked at her unconsciously.
Concubine Liu waved her handkerchief and said with a smile: "Oh, I couldn't hold it back for a moment and made everyone laugh."
The queen was talking to someone else. When she heard the sound, she turned around and asked, "What is Sister Liu laughing at?"
Just at this time, Luo Ran and the Crown Princess came in to salute and say hello. The Queen smiled and told them to level up and held one by the other hand, showing their intimacy.
Concubine Liu suddenly looked at Lu Yuanyuan and said, "Did the princess come here with the Crown Princess and Princess Xuan just now?"
Lu Yuanyuan sat down and just picked up a grape and stuffed it into her mouth. When she saw Concubine Liu talking to her, she almost got stuck in her throat when she was so excited that her face turned red from coughing.
Luo Ran hurried over to help her calm down. While patting her back, he said, "How is it? Do you want to ask a doctor?"
Lu Yuanyuan took the opportunity to wave his hands. After coughing enough, he drank another cup of tea and finally recovered.
Concubine Liu smiled and said: "Princess, this really scares me. I'm just saying a word to you. Fortunately, everyone is watching, otherwise I won't be able to escape even if I jumped into the Yellow River." .Isn’t that right, Princess Qing?”
"Cough, cough."
Princess Qing originally had a bad temperament. She coughed twice after hearing Concubine Liu's words. She glanced at her daughter next to her, showed a loving smile, turned to Concubine Liu and said:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you're making this thing here and there. I didn't know what you were laughing at just now. When Your Majesty asked you, you didn't say anything. Now you turned around and asked Yuanyuan. You still ask about this thing that everyone has seen. Don't talk about Yuanyuan. You are so young, even I am shocked by you!"
Although Princess Qing is physically weak, her temperament is not weak at all.
When Prince Qing was young, he was also known for being a free-spirited man. Together with Lu Jiuchen, who was better than his master, the two of them were basically dandies in the capital. Even so, there was never any messy incident in the inner courtyard of Prince Qing's palace.
Lu Yuanyuan was raised to be innocent and kind.
It can be seen that Princess Qing is not easy to mess with at all. In addition, Princess Qing comes from a noble family and has been an arrogant person since she was a child. She does not take Concubine Liu seriously at all.
Sure enough, Concubine Liu was choked by Princess Qing's words, and her face was a little uneasy. She turned to the queen and said: "Princess Qing reminded me of this. I just laughed because I saw the Crown Princess and Princess Xuan talking. Laughing, the relationship is harmonious, and suddenly I remember that those rumors in Beijing are indeed not credible."
"Oh, what are the rumors in Beijing?"
The queen lowered her eyes slightly and said calmly.
Concubine Liu looked at Luo Ran and was about to speak when she heard Concubine Qing speak again.
"The imperial concubine is really smart. I have been in the capital all day, but I haven't heard anything interesting. The empress heard about it in the palace, and it is just like what people said..."
I followed Concubine Liu’s tone just now.
"say what?"
Concubine Liu Guifei answered unconsciously.
Concubine Qing put the handkerchief to her lips and said, "People say that the second master of the Liu family guarded the city gate very well, and not even a fly could fly out. Concubine Yichen sees that the Liu family is not only good at guarding the gate, but also spreads news quickly. !”
Concubine Liu's face turned pale. Collusion between inside and outside was not a small crime. She laughed dryly and said, "What Concubine Qing said, I didn't say anything about it. Why did you provoke so many words? I don't even know." How to answer it."
"If you don't know how to answer, I won't answer."
Princess Qing said simply.
No wonder Princess Qing, who had always been quiet, was always angry at Concubine Liu today.
Don't think that she doesn't know what the Liu family is planning now. I heard from my son that Concubine Liu Guifei was blowing pillows in front of the emperor, trying to betroth Yuan Yuan to Liu Zimo.
snort!
He didn't even look at the smoke coming out of their Liu family's ancestral tomb, yet he dared to take advantage of her Yuanyuan.
How could Princess Qing endure it?
Luo Ran still didn't understand where Princess Qing's anger came from, but Lu Yuanyuan knew.
He held her mother's hand and comforted her: "Mom, the imperial doctor said that you are not in good health and should not be angry."
At this time, the queen also hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "Everyone is just chatting and can't take it seriously. Well, we have invited a troupe to the Imperial Garden today. It's almost time. Let's all go over."
The group got up and went to the Imperial Garden.
On the other side, the emperor was still receiving ministers in the imperial study.
Seeing that the matter was almost settled, Li Baolin came in and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen, the empresses and ladies of the palaces have gone to the Imperial Garden. The Queen sent someone to ask if the Emperor would like to go. Today we invited the Zhao Family Troupe to sing an opera. "
The emperor took a look at the few old ministers he was familiar with, and then asked: "My dear friends, if you have nothing to do, just go and have a look. You should relax."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Speaking of which, I really haven't been to the theater for a few days, and my ears are indeed itchy."
Xu Bangda stood up first and said with a smile.
Several others followed suit.
Xie Hang stood in the crowd and said nothing.
The emperor looked around: "In that case, let's go."
The emperor went out first, followed by Fu Jinan and the prince.
The stage in the Imperial Garden was a temporary, large stage separated by a screen.
As soon as the emperor arrived, the queen hurriedly led everyone to get up and say hello, and then sat back down after the emperor sat down.
When Luo Ran turned around, he felt a line of sight falling on him. He quietly raised his head to look, and sure enough, he saw someone smiling at him.
Luo Ran blushed slightly and hurriedly turned around and returned to his seat.
Lu Yuanyuan saw this scene in his eyes, and just as he leaned forward to laugh at her, he heard gongs and drums suddenly beating, and he was so scared that the tea in Lu Yuanyuan's hand almost fell over.
Luo Ran couldn't help but laugh and whispered: "Sit down quickly, be careful if you choke!"
Lu Yuanyuan knew that she was joking about how she almost choked on her grapes. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Luo Ran's smile froze and her eyes were fixed on the stage.
Following her gaze, he was stunned: "Why is it her?"
