Chapter 247 Coaxing the Queen Mother
Chapter 247 Coaxing the Queen Mother
The emperor knew that Concubine Qu asked Lu Chenshuang to treat her illness.
Because of what happened last time, he even had someone keep an eye on him.
Naturally, the events of Fengwu Palace soon reached the emperor's ears.
The emperor looked at the eunuch who was reporting in front of him and asked in confusion: "What did you say? Lu Chenshuang is fine, but Concubine Qu is crying because of the treatment?"
The young eunuch broke out in a sweat upon hearing this, because this was not what he had just reported.
He said that the second Miss Qu was driven out crying by Princess Zhan, and the sound of Concubine Qu in unbearable pain seemed to be heard from the hall of Fengwu Palace.
Although it has the same meaning as the emperor's roar, it is not as vulgar.
Seeing that the young eunuch was silent, the emperor said to himself: "This Lu Chenshuang has always hated evil.
When I offended her, she almost dug out my dragon eye.
The queen asked her for a child and she kindly treated him, but was killed in return.
Now that Concubine Qu is asking her for a child again, she must be holding a grudge but can’t refuse, so she deliberately punished Concubine Qu.”
The emperor dared to say this but the little eunuch dared not listen. The emperor had opinions about the future Princess Zhan, and it would be so scary if he told others about it.
But the emperor was just nagging. He actually knew very well what kind of person Lu Chenshuang was. She just didn't want to admit that Concubine Qu suffered so much in order to give birth to a child for him.
After learning from the Queen's previous experience, he really didn't want to trust women anymore.
Although the emperor himself did not go, he still rewarded Concubine Qu with many good things.
After Lu Chenshuang finished her work, she went to Shoukang Palace. Just in case, Concubine Qu asked Aunt Hua to send Lu Chenshuang there personally.
Lu Chenshuang knew that Concubine Qu was afraid that if something happened to her again, she would not be able to take the responsibility.
She didn't refuse, and this time everything went smoothly, and they made their way to Shoukang Palace.
Nanny Fang was waiting at the gate of Shoukang Palace. When she saw Lu Chenshuang, she smiled and said, "Oh, you're finally here. The Queen Mother has been talking about you since this morning.
I originally planned to go to Fengwu Palace to check on you, but I was afraid that it would delay your treatment, so I had to hold back."
Lu Chenshuang smiled and said, "Thank you Queen Mother and Nanny for your concern. I'm fine.
Besides, how can a person stumble twice in the same place? "
When Nanny Fang heard what Lu Chenshuang said, she burst into laughter.
The Queen Mother had been waiting impatiently in the palace for a long time. When she heard the two of them chatting, she scolded them, "Since you are here, why don't you come in quickly? What is there to laugh about with this old guy?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Chenshuang and Nanny Fang hurried into the hall.
Nanny Fang smiled and said, "The Queen Mother has become more and more stingy recently.
You get jealous even when an old servant talks to the princess."
The Queen Mother replied as a matter of course: "Shuang'er is my favorite daughter-in-law, and I haven't even said a few words to her, but you always come to her.
And you, can't you tell the difference between the big and small jokers? When you play cards, you don't side with me, but with this old slave."
Lu Chenshuang was overwhelmed when he heard this. They always say this old boy is just a child. This boy is really more difficult to deal with than Rong Yi.
However, Lu Chenshuang still patiently coaxed her, "Queen Mother, the reason I'm on good terms with Nanny Fang is because she's the most favored person around you.
From her I can also know your joys and sorrows, and then I will know how to please you.
Besides, it is Nanny Fang who has been with you through all the ups and downs over the years, and the friendship between you two is unmatched.
I treat Aunt Fang better, and now she is living a comfortable life. Shouldn't she spend more years with you in the future?"
Lu Chenshuang's words made perfect sense and moved the Empress Dowager and Nanny Fang deeply.
The Queen Mother even said that it was her blessing to have a daughter-in-law like Lu Chenshuang.
Lu Chenshuang breathed a sigh of relief, as if the empress dowager was not so difficult to appease, as long as she could find her vital pulse.
Seeing that the empress dowager was happy, Lu Chenshuang took out a set of skin care products from behind her back like a magic trick and handed it to the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother felt happier when she saw the beautifully packaged gift box.
I thought to myself that this must be the good thing that Lu Chenshuang mentioned a few days ago.
The Queen Mother quickly took it from Lu Chenshuang and opened the box impatiently.
Several exquisite bottles and jars were revealed inside, with simple words such as water, lotion, cream, essence, eye cream, face cream, and a facial cleanser written on them.
The Empress Dowager was experienced and although she didn't know what these things were specifically, she roughly guessed that they were something like rouge and powder.
After Lu Chenshuang explained it in detail to the Queen Mother, she asked her to try it on her face.
I don’t know if it was the Queen Mother’s psychological effect or if this thing was really useful, but the Queen Mother immediately felt that her face was much smoother and she couldn’t put this set of cosmetics down.
She even said to Lu Chenshuang in a chastised tone, "Why didn't you take out this good thing earlier to honor me?"
Lu Chenshuang smiled and said, "I just developed this not long ago. It contains many precious medicinal materials, which have very good effects on skin rejuvenation and anti-aging.
I found someone to test it and confirmed its effectiveness before I dared to bring it to the Queen Mother to present it as a treasure."
No woman can resist becoming more beautiful, and the Queen Mother is no exception.
The beauty pills and health-preserving pills given by Lu Chenshuang tasted good to the Empress Dowager.
But Lu Chenshuang also said that although it has a tonic effect, it cannot be eaten for a long time.
But this external application is different.
The Queen Mother was so happy that she naturally rewarded Lu Chenshuang with a lot of good things.
After Lu Chenshuang came out of the palace, she took a carriage straight back home to the Lu family.
Of course, the driver was the newly appointed coachman Wang Youde.
Wang De was a little nervous when he was waiting at the palace gate, fearing that he would be recognized.
But the facts proved that he was overthinking. No one in the palace could recognize him.
This made him appear more natural when he appeared in front of everyone.
At the same time, in a secret room, two white bodies were intertwined. If you look closely, you can find that their skin and flesh are a little loose.
It can be seen that the two people who were having an affair are not young anymore.
After a short while, the two stopped. The woman seemed unsatisfied, but she didn't dare to complain. She had to pretend to be shy.
The man rested for a while and then pinched the woman again. The old woman screamed coquettishly, which made people feel disgusted.
The man smiled sinisterly and said, "This time it was all thanks to Yan'er, otherwise Mu Hansu's military discipline was so strict that my people would not have been able to find out that Wang Youde was dead.
Only when he dies can I feel at ease."
The woman smiled and said, "This is what Yan'er should do. But if you succeed in the future, you must not treat Yan'er unfairly."
The man replied: "Don't worry about that. If I succeed in the future, I will definitely not treat him unfairly.
It's worth it that you have been with me for so many years.
By the way, I have already informed the Ji family. Let Yan'er prepare for the wedding in the next few days.
Just stop doing those things that are not worthy of being mentioned in public."
The woman quickly agreed when she heard this.
