After dressing as a villain's ex-wife, she went crazy for whitewashing

"Concubine Wan, it's been a long time since you came out." The Empress Dowager looked at Concubine Wan indifferently.

Ever since Ji Wuhen was reprimanded by Emperor Hui to confine her feet in the mansion last time, and with the matter of Jiang Yingyue, Concubine Wan has not left her palace for a month.

Lu Xiyue raised her eyelids and glanced at the gentle woman, then lowered her eyes.

I heard from the shopkeeper of the dim sum shop that Yao Xinyu went to the dim sum shop to order dim sum earlier because Concubine Wan's birthday was approaching.

Xu Shiren is in good spirits on happy occasions, Concubine Wan's complexion is indeed much rosier than the last time I saw it by chance.

"The weather has been fine recently, and my health has improved a lot. I haven't come to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager for too long. I feel uneasy. I hope the Empress Dowager will not blame me."

The woman's voice is soft and slow, like Ling Lingshuang beads crushed in the wind, making people feel comfortable listening to her voice.

"You are interested, sit down."

The mother on the side brought a chair.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Concubine Wan sat down quietly, glanced at Lu Xiyue's direction, and smiled lightly: "I didn't expect Princess Ning to be here, it seems that this concubine just happened to happen."

Hearing these words, the Queen Mother looked at Lu Xiyue with flickering eyes.

Lu Xiyue raised her eyebrows slightly, she didn't expect that the purpose of Wanfei's trip was for herself.

"Why, Concubine Wan also intends to ask Concubine Ning to take a look at her body?" The queen mother guessed her purpose of looking for someone.

Concubine Wan smiled calmly: "Back to the Queen Mother, the concubine is not for herself, but for the third concubine."

For Yao Xinyu?

Lu Xiyue was even more puzzled, what exactly does this family want to do?

The queen mother was also aroused: "What happened to the third princess?"

"The queen mother doesn't know that the third prince and the third concubine have been married for many days, and there has been no movement in their stomachs. Therefore, there may be some way to ask Princess Ning to take a look."

The two have been married for almost three months.

The Empress Dowager frowned when she heard the words, and said displeasedly: "The third concubine is still young, they have only been married for three months, so they are still a bride after all, Concubine Wan must be in a hurry."

Lu Xiyue was secretly surprised, but after realizing it, it wasn't unexpected.

In the original novel, Yao Xinyu and Ji Wuhen never had any children after they got married, and it wasn't until shortly after Ji Wuhen ascended the throne that it was found out that she was three months pregnant.

At that time, the two had been married for three years.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, the empress would be pregnant. Speaking of which, it was a good omen.

Concubine Wan, who originally had a lot of opinions on Yao Xinyu because of the issue of children, no, at that time, she was already the queen mother, and she was finally satisfied.

Concubine Wan in the original novel is very kind to Yao Xinyu, but she only wants a grandson, and her preference for sons over daughters is the most criticized.

She still remembered that when Ji Wuhen's uncle had an accident, Yao Xinyu stood by and watched, and even secretly promoted the death of Ji Wuhen's uncle, making Concubine Wan aware that Concubine Wan was almost forced to die.

Ji Wuhen was added between the two, hesitated for a long time, and finally chose Yao Xinyu.

It is obvious that an uncle who is always holding him back and his sweetheart is more important than his future.

Of course, these are things to follow.

The birth that even the heroine can't hide from.

If she hadn't known about such a plot, Lu Xiyue would have probably felt that Concubine Wan probably had other purposes.

The Empress Dowager is a sensible person. After living to this age, rich, noble, and having everything, many things will naturally be ignored.

Concubine Wan's lips moved, wanting to refute, she heard the Queen Mother say: "This child is only 17 years old, speaking of which he is half a child, the Ai family looks at the third concubine as a good one, why worry about Concubine Wan, you You are still young, why don't you have a grandson in your arms."

Concubine Wan's lips moved, she didn't know what to say, caring about the Queen Mother, she just said: "I just feel that young people will be more stable if they have children earlier."

"The Ai family thinks that the third prince is very stable." The queen mother took a deep look at Concubine Wan: "Perhaps she is more stable than the third prince."

Concubine Wan's words were completely blocked by the Queen Mother.

After standing aside and listening to the conversation between the two, countless thoughts flashed through Lu Xiyue's mind. She quickly packed her things and asked the Queen Mother to resign.

The Queen Mother also planned to have a good talk with Concubine Wan, it would be inconvenient to keep her as a junior here, so she nodded and agreed.

Concubine Wan was unwilling.

She knew that Prince Ning's family was on the opposite side from his son, but Lu Xiyue's medical skills were excellent, certified by several imperial physicians in the palace.

I think back then, she had been in the palace for a long time but failed to get the emperor's attention, or later she met Emperor Hui in the imperial garden by chance. I thought I just ran into it.

That night, she was favored by Emperor Hui, and she was promoted the next day. Later, she served three times in succession. Two months later, she was found to be pregnant.

After serving His Majesty only four times, she became pregnant with a child, and Ji Wuhen and Yao Xinyu faced each other day by day, but there was no movement for a long time.

How could Concubine Wan be reconciled.

Among the several princes now, only her third child is married, and she is the oldest among the several princes. If she is lucky enough to have the emperor's eldest grandson, why not be able to compete for the position of the East Palace.

But this kind of thought, absolutely dare not reveal in front of the Queen Mother.

After leaving the palace, Lu Xiyue returned to the palace to tidy up a bit, and went to the newly opened shop with Zhao Pinqian.

She has no hand in matters in the court, and Ji Yunyan has her own arrangements.

Now that the situation is tense, who knows what the ending will be, earning more money is the best way.

"The profit of the ice drink store doubled last month, and there is still an upward trend, but the business of the clothing store is not very good. Look, do you want to come up with some new tricks..."

Zhao Pinqian handed the account book to her, and roughly explained the situation of the next few shops.

The businesses of Xianglu Shop and Dim Sum Shop are as stable as ever. Now Dim Sum Shop has five branches, and Xianglu Shop only opened its seventh branch at the end of the month.

Ice drink shops only have the best business in summer, that is, the weather started to heat up last month.

Lu Xiyue flipped through the ledger, and the cold air was blowing out of the ice basin beside her.

She stared at the ice cube tray and suddenly had an idea: "Brother, have you heard of ice cream?"

"what?"

Half an hour later, three large bowls were neatly placed on the table.

Mung bean paste, milk, and sugar are all ready-made in dim sum shops.

There were plenty of ice beside the table, and a jar of salt.

Lu Xiyue makes mung bean ice cream, it is actually very simple, mix the three ingredients, find a sealed container and put it away, she uses an iron plate, the dim sum shop is for dim sum, spread it flat, and place it on ice cubes sprinkled with salt superior.

She roughly estimated that it took about one-third of the time for the incense to stick, and the things on the plate were frozen hard.
