   Chapter 101 Dowry

   Seeing Empress Dowager Zhao's face full of anger, Madam Fan, who had been serving Empress Dowager Zhao for several years, whispered, "The Empress Dowager wants to lift up Her Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, just give more things. Why do you need to pass the Empress Dowager?"

  Empress of the ether, you can do whatever you want without looking at anyone's face.

   This Madam Fan was the dowry maid of the Empress Dowager Zhao back then. She has never been married, she has been serving the Queen Mother Zhao, and she is loyal to the Queen Mother Zhao.

Empress Dowager Zhao trusts Madam Fan very much, and she has no worries about speaking in private. She snorted softly and said, "The queen acts like this, it is clear that she is running on the Aijia on purpose. Haven't you seen it yet? She has resentment towards the Aijia in her heart. where!"

  Mother Fan stood completely on the side of the Queen Mother, and immediately said: "As a daughter-in-law, you should be filial in everything and listen to your mother-in-law. There is no reason for a daughter-in-law to compete with her mother-in-law."

   "From an old slave's point of view, the Empress Dowager is too benevolent. Even the Empress Dowager has such a temper. The Empress Dowager should knock a few words from time to time to let the Empress Dowager know her duty as a daughter-in-law."

   Empress Dowager Zhao snorted again, the anger in her eyes did not fade away.

   At this moment, Concubine Qin came to see him.

  Concubine Qin came to Shouning Palace very diligently, and was always with the Queen Mother Zhao. In Empress Dowager Zhao's heart, Concubine Qin was ten times more caring and filial than Queen Qiao.

   "The concubine has seen the Empress Dowager," Qin Fei bowed with a smile, and then asked with concern: "The lady's face doesn't seem very good-looking, is there someone who is making the lady unhappy?"

   Empress Dowager Zhao was cold and indifferent to Queen Qiao, and she was a different face to Concubine Qin. She took Qin Fei's hand and said with a smile: "There is no one else here, what is the name of the queen mother."

   Concubine Qin pursed her lips and smiled, then changed her voice and called out "Auntie".

   No wonder Empress Dowager Zhao is partial to Concubine Qin. Concubine Qin's biological mother, the Zhao family, was the younger sister of the Queen Mother Zhao's compatriot. In terms of blood relationship, Concubine Qin was even closer than Marquis of Puyang.

   The mother died young, the Empress Dowager Zhao and the Zhao sisters grew up together, and they had a very good relationship.

   Later, the Empress Dowager Zhao married to the Li family to fill in the house, and the Zhao family married to the Qin family far away. Zhao's life was short-lived, and he died early. Qin was brought up in a foreign family.

   Empress Dowager Zhao took care of her from time to time, and when the Qin family reached her husband, she let her son Li Yuan marry the Qin family as a concubine.

   Although the Qin family was a concubine, the clothing and food were the best. With the support of his aunt, he lived a leisurely life.

  When Emperor Yongjia sat on the dragon chair, the Qin family was made a concubine, and his son became the fourth prince from the concubine of the Li family.

   Concubine Qin's heart also became active day by day.

   Empress Dowager Zhao took Concubine Qin's hand and sat down. She first talked about her dissatisfaction with Empress Qiao: "...this Qiao family, open and close your mouth, means that there is a difference between the descendants. She didn't take what Aijia said at all."

  Concubine Qin did not feel angry at all, but comforted the Empress Dowager Zhao softly: "Auntie calm down. The Queen's wife said so, and it makes sense. Axian is a prince born from a concubine, how dare you hope to be the same as the prince."

   paused, then sighed softly: "Speaking of which, I'm the one who implicated my son. I am willing to marry my cousin as a concubine, and be able to accompany my aunt every day. I only have pity on Ah Xian, who was born a concubine, inferior to others."

   is clearly comforting, but in fact it is secretly supporting the fire.

   Queen Zhao's expression sank slightly: "Regardless of whether he is a descendant or a concubine, they are all descendants of the Li family, and they are all princes. Don't worry, with the Ai family here, no one wants to wrong Axian."

  Concubine Qin's face was moved, and her eyes were slightly red: "Fortunately, there is an aunt who takes care of our mother and son. Otherwise, we really don't know how to live in this palace."

   Empress Dowager Zhao had made up her mind, and patted the back of Concubine Qin's hand: "Aijia has something in mind, just wait and see."

  …

   Ten days later.

  The palace sent him to the palace of the Marquis of Puyang, the mansion of the Prince of Xingyang.

  The marriage of the three princes has long been a major event in the capital. Sending employment is so lively, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at it. Judging from the team that sent the betrothed, it was obvious that the most people went to the Xingyang Palace, and of course they also carried the most betrothal gifts.

   The betrothal gifts sent to the Marquis of Guangping and Marquis of Puyang are obviously less.

   This is also inevitable.

   Divine descendants come from concubines, and there is always a difference between superior and inferior.

  No one expected that the palace soon sent a team of recruits to the Puyang Marquis Mansion in a lively manner. The betrothal gifts sent later were not too many, but, adding up to the previous ones, it was actually more than the betrothal gifts sent to the Xingyang Palace.

   I heard that this was specially sent by the empress dowager of the palace to the Zhao family of the Marquis of Puyang. This is a dazzling support for the fourth prince!

   The fourth prince has a long face. Where should the faces of Queen Qiao and the second prince be placed?

   Xingyang King Lu Lin, who soon learned of this, his face suddenly sank.

   He didn't care how much the bride price was.

   However, these actions of disregarding the dignity of the second prince and the face of the Lu family are really annoying.

   "This Empress Dowager Zhao is really annoying!" Lu Lin slapped the table hard, and the solid table was shaken: "How can you act like this!"

  Lu Mingyu was not at all annoyed.

   In the past life, Empress Dowager Zhao did just that. This little thing is really not worth being angry with.

  Lu Mingyu calmly comforted Lu Lin: "Dad, don't be angry. It is well known that the Empress Dowager and the Empress do not get along. She did this to shame the Empress on purpose and has nothing to do with our Lu family."

   Lu Lin patted the table again, and the table shook violently again: "It doesn't matter. She embarrassed the Empress, and she is embarrassing the second prince, which is embarrassing you, and embarrassing the Lu family!"

  Lu Mingyu: "..."

All right!

   Probably because of "paying off the debt with her own body", she didn't have such a strong sympathy for Li Jing's mother and son as they were family members. It's like watching a fire from the other side, which means it doesn't hurt or itch.

   Lu Lin, who loves his daughter, has already included his son-in-law Li Jing into his family. Lu Lin is the most protective of his shortcomings, and when he encounters such a thing, he is extremely annoyed.

   Lu Lin suddenly stood up and was about to go out.

  Lu Mingyu was shocked: "Dad, where are you going?"

  Lu Lin raised his eyebrows: "I'll go to the palace to see the emperor now. I want to see. The emperor knows how to react to this matter, and how should he explain to the Lu family."

  Lu Mingyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he hurriedly stopped his father: "Father, don't be impulsive, calm down first."

   "The Emperor has always been filial to the Empress Dowager. Even if he knew it, he wouldn't treat the Empress Dowager. Dad went to the palace to meet the Emperor, what could he do?"

   "Furthermore, I haven't married yet. For the time being, I don't need to get involved. When I become a relative in the future, the name is right and my words are right, and it's not too late to fight with the others in the palace."

   Now she and Li Jing are not married yet! How could he so eagerly intervene in the affairs of the palace?

   After a few words of persuasion, Lu Lin finally calmed down: "You are right. Cross-examination is absolutely impossible. Well, it's better to go to the palace to thank you."

  Lu Mingyu: "..."

   Two shifts starting today
