Lu Ruxue was one of the four concubines. The Fangyi Palace where she lived was magnificent, and she was served by more than a dozen maids and eunuchs.
The leading maid leads the way.
Lu Shuangshuang lowered her head and walked into the hall, accompanied by Nanny Li.
Aunt Li rubbed her eyes several times along the way.
Is her eyesight blurry?
She is obviously still the same young lady, but why does she look so much more beautiful?
Even his temperament was turned upside down.
Lu Shuangshuang knelt down and kowtowed, "Lu Shuangshuang pays homage to Concubine Shu. May your concubine be safe and sound."
Concubine Shu, Lu Ruxue, sat at the main seat, holding a tea cup in her hand.
She had already received news that her cousin was entering the palace today.
I heard that this cousin was the daughter of the second roommate, so I thought it would take a lot of effort to force the second roommate to compromise.
Unexpectedly, she behaved herself and came to the palace on her own initiative.
As long as she is obedient from now on, he will naturally be able to tolerate her.
otherwise……
"You get up."
Lu Ruxue deliberately waited for a long time before slowly putting down the tea cup and looking up at her.
At this sight, jealousy suddenly appeared in his eyes.
When did Lu Shuangshuang look so beautiful?
He actually pushed her over!
If her confidant maid hadn't pushed her quietly, Lu Ruxue almost didn't have a seizure. She took a deep breath and put on a smile.
"You and I are cousins. From now on, you can call me cousin in private. There is no need to be so formal."
Lu Shuangshuang: Cousin?
Don't dare to scream. If you do, you will die.
She was afraid of kneeling down again, "Shu Fei, there is a distinction between high and low, concubines dare not."
Lu Ruxue was indeed very helpful, and her expression softened a lot.
"Look at you, why are you kneeling down again? The ground is cold. Get up quickly. Come closer and let me take a good look at you. The last time we sisters met was when we were children."
Lu Shuangshuang stepped forward quickly.
The other party asked me a few questions about the situation at home, and then pretended to renew the sisterly relationship, and then was sent back.
"Be prepared, the emperor will go to your place in the next two days."
"My concubine knows."
It's great to see the emperor so soon.
Lu Shuangshuang didn't dare to show joy and turned around to leave.
After Lu Shuangshuang went out, the palace maid reminded her in confusion, "My queen, why didn't you just give her a few more instructions and let her go?"
Lu Ruxue was annoyed, "I think her face is an eyesore."
Lady in the Palace: "...You are the legitimate daughter of the Yongding Marquis Mansion. How can she, a concubine, compare with you? Besides, there are many beautiful women in the palace. Capturing the emperor's heart is a skill."
Speaking of the emperor, Lu Ruxue sighed.
Since the last incident, the emperor has not come to see her for two months, otherwise, she would not be in a hurry to take him into the palace to be his pet.
She said indifferently, "Lu Shuangshuang can best help me. If he can't help me, there is no need to live."
…
Here, Lu Shuangshuang came out of Fangyi Hall, touched her face and sighed,
"My cousin doesn't seem to like me very much. That's right. She blames me for being too beautiful."
Grandma Li: ...Miss, please restrain yourself.
Lu Shuangshuang disagreed. In front of others, she could pretend to be a timid and humble beauty in order to survive.
As a queen, she can complain as much as she likes.
Soon after returning, the emperor came to Meihua Pavilion and said that the emperor would come tonight.
At the same time, there were charcoal fires and improved meals from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"That's great, miss. The emperor came to see you so soon, which shows that he values you very much!"
Cai Qing said happily.
Lu Shuangshuang burst out laughing,
"Stupid girl, the emperor has never even seen my face, how can he take me seriously? He came so quickly to give face to the Anding Hou Mansion."
However, this was her first meeting with the emperor, so she had to be fully prepared.
Otherwise, if the emperor felt disgusted and left directly, she would have no chance at all.
The face of the Marquis Anding can be used once, but not a second time.
"Caiqing Caiyun, go and boil a bucket of water for me. I want to take a bath."
"Mother Li, go and get me a light pink narcissus dress."
When taking a bath, Lu Shuangshuang specially added the deodorant pills provided by the system to the water. After getting up, her whole body was exuding a delicate fragrance...
…
Here, the emperor has just finished handling political affairs.
Looking back on the memorials that were revised today, half of them were worried that he would have no heirs, that there would be no one to inherit the country in the future, and that the court would be unstable.
His face darkened.
He understood what the ministers said.
But what's the use?
In the first two years after he ascended the throne, he didn't take it seriously, thinking that there would always be children.
But as time went by, and none of the concubines in the palace reported being pregnant, he gradually became a little desperate.
I even started to wonder if there was really something wrong with me.
This thought made him a little angry as a man.
Gradually, he began not to allow any minister to mention this matter.
But now, he is already thirty-five years old, and he still has no heirs, not even a princess, and even the people are talking about it.
He said that his killing karma was too heavy and he was punished by God.
The emperor sighed.
Could it be...that God was really punishing him?
In the midst of his thoughts, Plum Blossom Pavilion was already in sight.
Smelling the fresh fragrance of flowers in the plum grove, the emperor's mood was soothed.
He stepped in.
Lu Shuangshuang was standing under the plum tree in the courtyard, wearing a pink dress, with petals falling in her hair.
Black hair and red plum blossoms curl up.
The emperor's throat tightened. The second young lady of the Anding Hou Mansion was so stunning?
"May I have your name?"
"Concubine Lu Shuangshuang."
Her voice was gentle and charming, making people unable to help but protect her. The emperor bent down and took her hand.
The two of them walked towards the inner hall.
Candlelight flickered in the hall.
Lu Shuangshuang felt the emperor's eyes falling on her, as if he was sizing her up.
"It's cold on the road. Your Majesty, please warm yourself up with a cup of hot tea."
She picked up the tea cup and secretly looked at the emperor through the gap.
I heard that the emperor is thirty-five this year. I have to say that he is extremely well-maintained and looks to be in his thirties.
Years of fighting have left him with a sinister look between his brows, and his cold gaze makes people dare not look directly at him.
But in terms of appearance and figure alone, he is definitely a mature and handsome uncle.
"I heard that it was Concubine Shu who brought you into the palace. You and Concubine Shu have a very good relationship."
Suddenly, the emperor's voice sounded above his head.
Lu Shuangshuang was startled. She could hear the emperor's displeasure.
It seems that Concubine Shu's impression in the emperor's mind was not very good.
The emperor obviously regarded himself as a concubine.
Lu Shuangshuang was thinking about countermeasures in her heart.
Suddenly, she raised her head, her eyes were slightly red, and her bright eyes were filled with tears.
