   Chapter 269 New Favorite (1)

   "Prince Concubine, the Xingyang Army has returned to Beijing, and His Royal Highness has also returned."

  Lu Yi came to report with a happy face: "The army set off a few days ago. In ten days, we will be back to the capital."

   Qiyun laughed softly: "His Royal Highness is coming back to see the child!"

   Zhou Yuan said that a pair of children will be born prematurely at any time. In the past few days, wherever Lu Mingyu went, Zhou Yuan and the four midwives followed.

  Lu Mingyu smiled and hummed, rubbing his right hand on his bulging belly.

The pair of children in   's stomach seemed to feel the pleasure of their mother, and they punched and kicked. Lu Mingyu's belly was deformed by the noise of the two children.

  Lu Mingyu smiled and hissed: "These two little **** are making noise in my stomach all day. When they are born and open their eyes, I will beat them first."

  's words made everyone around him laugh.

   At this moment, the porter came to report that Princess Hui'an was here.

   Princess Hui'an came back every two or three days, and was so familiar with the Second Prince's Mansion. Before Lu Mingyu got up to meet a few steps, the figure of Princess Hui'an appeared in front of her.

   "Sit down and take a rest." Princess Hui'an urged repeatedly: "Look at you with such a big belly, you can't stand up and greet me. You are not an outsider, so don't pay attention to these polite manners."

  Lu Mingyu was not polite to her either, and sat down with a smile.

   Coincidentally, the child was making a fuss in his stomach again, propping up a high piece of his belly.

  Princess Hui'an is not the first time to see her, but every time she sees it, she still has to be amazed: "The child is too noisy in the stomach."

   Isn't it?

  Lu Mingyu sighed with a smile: "Now that it's night, I can't sleep well at all. The two children take turns making noises, their stomachs are constantly moving, how can they fall asleep."

  Princess Hui'an always takes some sourness from time to time: "It's too late for others to envy you, but you dislike the trouble of the two children."

  Lu Mingyu knew Princess Hui'an's heart and didn't care about her.

   Princess Hui'an knew that it was inappropriate to speak like this, so she quickly changed the topic and talked about the affairs of the palace.

  Lu Mingyu stayed in the house all day, going back and forth with a few faces beside him, bored and annoyed. Listening to Princess Hui'an's gossip and poisonous tongue is also interesting.

  …

  For example, Concubine Meng of Yanxi Palace has been suffering from injuries for several months, and her injuries are getting better day by day. Some can't stand it anymore. When Emperor Yongjia went to visit, Zhangkou begged to leave the palace.

  Emperor Yongjia didn't agree, and the words were serious: "You made a big mistake. You stayed in the palace, and the palace also stopped inside and outside the palace."

   Concubine Meng did not expect Emperor Yongjia to be so heartless, so she started crying at that time.

  Emperor Yongjia coaxed a few words, but seeing that Concubine Meng was still unwilling to give up, she simply got up and left. Concubine Meng was so angry that she didn't eat for a whole day, but she was so hungry that she didn't see the emperor change his mind the next day.

  Why was Emperor Yongjia suddenly indifferent to Concubine Meng?

   There is of course a reason for this.

   A month ago, Queen Qiao chose a beauty from somewhere and sent it to Emperor Yongjia.

  This beauty is sixteen years old, fresh and delicate, with a beautiful face, bright and lively, with a frown and a smile that looks a bit like Concubine Meng when she was young.

  The timing of Queen Joe's presentation of beauty was just right. It happened to be when the news of the great victory in Pizhou was spreading. Emperor Yongjia was in a happy mood and also had Namei's interest.

   This beauty was favored and named Wang Beauty. It was fresh and warm, and Emperor Yongjia had a new person, so he naturally lost a bit of his love for Concubine Meng.

   Although Concubine Meng was imprisoned in Yanxi Palace, she was neither blind nor deaf. After knowing this beauty Wang, she was really angry. No matter how angry she is, it's useless, she can't leave the palace, and naturally there is no way to deal with Wang Meiren.

   "...It's really relieved to think about it."

   Princess Hui'an had a cheerful smile on her face: "Concubine Meng relied on the favor of her father and the emperor, and did not put her mother and queen in her eyes. Now she should have a taste of what it feels like to be out of favor and be left out."

  Lu Mingyu smiled slightly: "Is this beauty Wang really favored?"

   Princess Hui'an pouted: "I don't know where my mother found the beauty. It's not the top beauty. She is better than young and lively, and she resembles Concubine Meng five or six points when she was young."

  So, in the final analysis, Emperor Yongjia still likes Concubine Meng. Wang Meiren was favored by the emperor because she was born like Concubine Meng.

   However, it is always a good thing that someone in the harem can share the favor of Emperor Yongjia.

   Wang Meiren was chosen by Queen Qiao, and she was very respectful to Queen Qiao. Being favored by the Son of Heaven, Wang Meiren did not float to the sky, and she honestly went to Jiaofangdian every day to greet her. In front of Emperor Yongjia, Queen Qiao was often mentioned.

   And because the Prince performed well in Pizhou, Emperor Yongjia has visited Jiaofangdian a lot more recently.

   In the eyes of those with a heart, this is a sign that Concubine Meng is about to fall out of favor.

  Lu Mingyu smiled leisurely: "Mother should have done this long ago."

   Princess Hui'an glanced at Lu Mingyu and said in a low voice, "I asked the queen mother, and the queen mother said, this is your private idea."

  Lu Mingyu did not deny it: "Concubine Meng was seriously injured and needs to rest on a couch to recover. Of course, such a rare opportunity cannot be missed."

   Princess Hui'an thought for a while, then smiled: "You are right, this is indeed the best time."

  Emperor Yongjia is fond of the new and reminiscent of the old. There were also many young concubines in the harem, but no one could ever take away Concubine Meng's favor. Right now, Concubine Meng has made a big mistake and has to recuperate, so she can't wait on the pillow.

The appearance of    Wang Meiren just filled the gap. Whether Emperor Yongjia was out of empathy or freshness, in any case, Wang Meiren had become the new favorite of the harem.

  …

  While Princess Hui'an and Lu Mingyu were gossiping, the rumored Wang Meiren was greeting her in the Jiaofang Hall.

   "My concubine greets the empress." The young and beautiful Wang Meiren, with lively eyebrows and eyes, smiled like flowers blooming on the branches.

   Queen Qiao was also delighted to see it in her eyes, and said with a smile, "No ceremony, flat body."

  Wang Mei was born like Concubine Meng, and she also deliberately practiced her words and deeds.

   However, in front of Queen Qiao, she was quite honest and disciplined, and cleaned up those flattering behaviors, thanking Queen Qiao for her grace.

   Queen Qiao secretly spent a lot of thought before she chose and trained a beauty Wang, and was very kind to her: "In front of this palace, you don't have to be cautious."

   Wang Meiren pursed her lips and smiled, her voice delicate and delicate: "The queen's concubine treats her concubines with generosity, which is a blessing for the concubines. How can the concubines be frivolous and wanton and disrespect the concubine."

   Queen Qiao felt comfortable in her heart.

   Yes, no matter how favored she is, she is still a concubine.

   Only bowed his head in front of his wife.

  Before, she was too forbearing, and she had extravagant expectations for her husband. Now, she is calm and sober, and no longer misses Emperor Yongjia. The days were much easier.

   The fifteenth update is coming~~
