Hairpin Phoenix

  Chapter 11

   Meng Yunluo's movements were subtle, but she couldn't hide from the bright-eyed and bright-hearted ladies.

   A few light laughter came into Meng Yunluo's ears.

   Meng Yunluo was embarrassed in public, and her fair and charming face was stained with a blush of embarrassment.

   Jin Can'er, a boudoir friend, didn't mean to appease Meng Yunluo at all, instead she covered her sleeves and laughed, her eyes full of schadenfreude.

   This is the "friendship" of the ladies in the capital.

  Lu Mingyu's "joy" that he was about to reunite with his old friend was also diluted a little, and the corner of his mouth was slightly raised, and he walked to the main hall with Cailan.

   Stepping over the high threshold, Lu Mingyu did not look sideways, stepped forward steadily, and saluted: "I have seen the Queen."

   Queen Qiao, who was sitting on the phoenix chair, smiled and said, "No ceremony, flat body."

   "Thank you, Empress." Lu Mingyu stood up neatly, and when he got up, his eyes swept away, and he had a panoramic view of everyone in the hall.

  Queen Qiao was born in a prestigious family. She was quite talented when she was young. Now in her thirties, she is still dignified and beautiful, with a gentle smile.

   At this time, Queen Qiao's eyes were filled with scrutiny and scrutiny.

   Several princes have reached the age of choosing princes and concubines. What is the purpose of today's palace banquet, everyone knows well. Queen Qiao naturally had to look carefully.

   Sitting under Queen Qiao was Concubine Meng. Concubine Meng and Queen Qiao were the same age, and they were well maintained, with a beautiful and charming face, and the look of a mature woman between her eyebrows and eyes.

   Concubine Meng has a son and a daughter. The eldest prince got married the year before and went out of the palace to build a mansion. Princess Jing'an is only fifteen years old this year, so she is still young.

   Princess Jing'an sat beside Concubine Meng.

   Princess Hui'an, who was born directly, has reached the age of double ten and has already recruited a consort.

  Today's palace banquet, of course, Princess Hui'an cannot be missed. Sitting on the other side of Queen Qiao, she looked arrogant, her eyes were cold and critical, and she was like picking on her future sister-in-law.

   The one next to Concubine Meng is Concubine Qin.

   In terms of appearance, Concubine Qin was far inferior to Concubine Meng. However, she is also a beautiful woman with extremely white skin and a cheerful and smiling personality. At first glance, she looks soft and kind.

   Sitting next to Concubine Qin was the biological mother of the third and fifth princes, her mother-in-law in her previous life, Su Zhaorong.

  Su Zhaorong was favored by Emperor Yongjia as a dancer back then. Of course, she was born extremely beautiful, with curved eyebrows, black eyes, and Qiong nose and cherry lips. Even more beautiful than Concubine Meng.

   However, Concubine Meng was born as a general, and she was beautiful and heroic. However, Su Zhaorong is like a vine that can only cling to trees, beautiful but weak, making people feel pity.

   It was this woman who seemed weak and helpless and cried at every turn when she was in trouble. She endured dormancy for several years and finally became the Empress Dowager Wei.

   He does not understand the government, he is not good at power and tactics, and he does not know military affairs.

  Short-sighted, narrow-minded, selfish and vicious.

   For his own selfish desires, he instigated his son and daughter-in-law to leave, regardless of the inheritance.

   This kind of person is not worthy of being the queen mother! Not even a mother-in-law.

   Lu Mingyu had a strong killing intent in his heart, but his expression remained the same.

   When Su Zhaorong saw Lu Mingyu, his whole body trembled invisibly. The sharp pain of being pierced by the sharp sword in his chest came instantly.

   She almost wanted to get up and run away, or to have the cruel daughter-in-law in front of her be killed immediately.

   No, be patient!

   Must be patient!

  I have to wait until my son ascends the throne and sits firmly on the dragon chair. At that time, as her mother-in-law wants to grind, the only daughter-in-law will have to bear it.

  Su Zhaorong quickly adjusted his facial expression and gave Lu Mingyu a kind and kind smile.

  Lu Mingyu looked back indifferently as if he had not seen it.

  Su Zhaorong: "…"

  …

   "You are Lu Mingyu, the daughter of King Xingyang?" Queen Qiao's gentle voice sounded in the main hall.

  Lu Mingyu raised his eyes and looked at Queen Qiao: "Yes, there are six siblings in the family, and I am the fourth. Thanks to the love from the empress, I was able to enter the palace to meet the empress today."

  The girl who entered the main hall for an audience, stepped into the harem, the most powerful place in the harem, and faced the most honorable empresses and concubines of the Wei Dynasty, either nervous with excitement, or anxious and full of joy and hope.

   There is no one like Lu Mingyu who is as calm and calm.

   Gu Pan's splendid expression is even more difficult to describe with brush and ink, which is heartbreaking.

   Qiao Wan and Zhao Yu, who first entered the hall to meet with them, are also top-notch ladies from famous families, each with their own strengths. But as soon as Lu Mingyu showed up, he immediately compared the two of them to a bleak point.

  Queen Qiao's eyes fell on Lu Mingyu's beautiful and glamorous face, a series of thoughts flashed in her heart, and her tone became more and more gentle: "King Xingyang led the army together with the emperor, and worked hard."

  Lu Mingyu smiled slightly and responded appropriately: "My father is a general of the Great Wei Dynasty, and it is his duty to lead troops to fight. I don't dare to think that hard work is high."

   Queen Qiao asked with a smile, "What do you do in the mansion? What books have you read? Have you ever studied piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?"

  Lu Mingyu replied without being humble or arrogant: "As for the mother-in-law, I have been dancing with guns since I was a child. I like riding and shooting martial arts, but I don't like reading. I only know a few words, and I haven't learned much about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

  Queen Qiao was born in a well-known scholarly family, and she likes a girl with a gentle temperament and outstanding poetry, literature and talent like Qiao Wan.

   Sure enough, Lu Mingyu couldn't understand Chen Mo, and Queen Qiao frowned slightly.

  Su Zhaorong interjected unexpectedly: "I heard that Fourth Miss Lu is excellent at riding and shooting, and she is very skilled, quite like the king of Xingyang. It's a pity that I can't see it with my own eyes today."

   Concubine Meng Gui picked up the veil and covered her mouth with a smile: "Oh, it's rare to see Su Zhaorong complimenting which girl."

   To choose a prince and concubine, it is natural to have only the second prince first. Queen Qiao had to choose first, and then it was the turn of the third prince and the fourth prince.

  Su Zhaorong opened his mouth at this time, already recklessly saving.

Concubine Qin also pursed her lips and smiled: "My concubine and Su Zhaorong thought of something. My concubine looked at it, and Miss Lu Si was also very good. However, for today's palace banquet, you can enjoy some songs and dances, write some poems, or play the qin for fun. That's all. It's inconvenient for people who dance with knives and guns. Second, it's hard to guarantee that there will be no accidents."

   Queen Joe's smile faded.

  Su Zhaorong came from a humble background and had no strong family to rely on. It was common for him to be ridiculed and ridiculed in the harem from time to time.

  Su Zhaorong gritted his teeth, swallowed embarrassedly, and smiled in a low voice: "The concubine has been talking too much for a while and said the wrong thing, please forgive me."

   Queen Qiao said lightly: "Since you know your mistake, just shut up and say a few words less."

  Su Zhaorong's face was hot, she responded and quickly lowered her head.

  Lu Mingyu looked at Su Zhaorong's humiliation with cold eyes, and felt quite happy.

   After she married Li Hao in her previous life, she felt pity for her mother-in-law in an embarrassing situation and supported her from time to time. It is common to have a confrontation with Concubine Qin, Queen Qiao Meng Guifei.

   Now that I think about it, Su Zhaorong's use of weakness to show inferiority and self-pity is all a means to let her daughter-in-law, who was born in a family, charge into the battle to shield herself from arrows.

   Now, she doesn't have to do anything, she can just watch a good show.
