Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 163 Difficult (1)

  After serving the tea, Lu Mingyu went to the Taimiao Temple with Li Jing to pay tribute to the ancestors, which was 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 because of physical fatigue.

   Empress Dowager Zhao clearly showed indifference. Obviously not a wonderful thing for a new princess. But Lu Mingyu was calm and calm.

  Whether it is real or fake, it makes people have to be amazed.

The    palace banquet was for two people, and Lu Mingyu and Li Jing, the newlyweds, took a seat as a matter of course. 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 is not quite appropriate to describe it as a quarrel.

   The fact is that every time she opened her mouth to provoke or stab her, her own younger brother came back. Depressed, let alone.

   "Princess, this is your favorite braised goose paw." Consort Wu said with a low smile, "I brought 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 Consort Wu.

   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 domineering and savage, and everyone knows that. It is difficult for Wu's concubine to mingle with Princess Hui'an.

  The First 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, 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, and then she was lingering on the 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 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 princess. At least, it is more caring to greet people in front of others.

  …

  After the banquet in the palace, Emperor Yongjia went to Wenhua Hall to handle political affairs.

   Concubine Meng and others got up and retire.

   In the end, only Lu Mingyu, Li Jing, Princess Hui'an and Consort Wu were left in the Jiaofang Palace.

   Queen Qiao was tense for a long time, and it was only at this moment that 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 disrespectful to the grandmother."

   Listening to this, it is quite rude.

  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 gets 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 have to endure and give in. The reason is clear to our sister and brother. Because the father and the emperor have always been filial, and can't tolerate any People are disrespectful and disrespectful to the emperor's 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 was choked by the words "docile and respectful", and she didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh.

Queen Qiao coughed: "Huian, don't worry. Mrs. Lu has just entered the door, so she doesn't know your grandmother's temper. It's true that it's been a little bit. However, your father didn't have an attack. This matter has passed. Don't mention it. Anyway!"

   Princess Hui'an was furious when she heard it: "Empress mother, you are also facing her! The father did not have a seizure, but how ugly the father looked in the morning, the mother saw it..."

   Wu Consort Wu tugged at Princess Hui'an's sleeve when he saw that the situation was not good. Princess Hui'an was getting angry, she turned her face and sprayed: "Why are you pulling my sleeves!"

   Concubine Wu 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 is always trembling, and the second brother is gentle and humble, but now there is something powerful, and he dares to confront the emperor's grandmother. Misfortune is coming!"

   Queen Qiao couldn't do anything about her bad-tempered daughter, so she was about to be patient and coax a few words. He 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 chatting in the father's ear. In the end, this account is not credited to the queen mother and the second brother."

  Lu Mingyu said lightly: "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. The grandmother's actions today are not accidental. Someone must have instigated it. The real intention is to humiliate me, the new prince and concubine, and even press the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness."

   "The Queen Mother is the Queen of the Middle Palace, and the first wife of the Royal Father. His Highness is the 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 make things difficult for people to bully. How can I raise my head and be a person in the future?"

   "I gave in everywhere from the very beginning. Wouldn't anyone be able to step on me in the future?"

   "If it goes on like this, who else will take the lineage of Zhonggong's direct descendants in their eyes?"

   A series of rhetorical questions left Princess Hui'an speechless.

   Queen Qiao's expression also sank slightly.

  Li Jing stared at his new wife, but did not say anything.

   He already understood Lu Mingyu's mind.

The   chaotang is the battlefield of the 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 everything! No need for his help!

   As long as he stands by her side, it is enough.

  Lu Mingyu's eyes are bright, and his voice is decisive and firm: "So, from the beginning, you must show your edge. In the future, whoever wants to provoke me, you have to measure yourself, whether you have such ability."

   "Everyone knows that I'm not easy to mess with, so naturally no one dares to mess with me."
