Chapter 4 Never thought about entering the palace

Lu Wanning suppressed the turmoil in her heart and said as calmly as possible: "No matter how beautiful the flowers are, you'll get tired of them if you see them too much. I've seen them today and that's enough."

"There is a difference between the flowers of tomorrow and the flowers of today. The flowers may still be blooming today, but they may be in full bloom tomorrow. How can you say that seeing it today is enough?" Mrs. Lin shook her head,

Said: "Think about it carefully."

After saying that, Mrs. Lin stopped talking and closed her eyes again to rest her mind. She only paid attention to the panicked Lu Wanning who was just thinking about it.

Although Lin didn't say it directly, her meaning was clear enough. She really wanted her to enter the palace, but she didn't know whose idea it was, Lin's? Or Lu Wanyun's?

After finally returning to the Hou Mansion, Lu Wanning was distracted when she got off the carriage and accidentally sprained her foot.

When Mrs. Tao heard that Lu Wanning sprained her foot, she hurried to Qinyaxuan with her maid, "Why are you so careless? Let me see if it's serious."

After saying that, he squatted down and looked at Lu Wanning's right foot placed on the embroidery stool.

Lu Wanning's ankle was slightly swollen, but not serious. Mrs. Lin reached out to touch it and said distressedly: "Does it hurt?"

Lu Wanning shook her head, "My daughter is fine. She was checked by the doctor just now. There are no broken bones. Mother, don't worry."

Mrs. Tao felt relieved now and sat next to Lu Wanning and asked about entering the palace this time.

"What is the reason why the Imperial Concubine asked you to enter the palace?"

Lu Wanning didn't hide it from Mrs. Tao. Besides, she couldn't hide this matter. If she told Mrs. Tao earlier, the two of them could think of countermeasures.

"The imperial concubine didn't say it directly, but one of the sisters only rewarded me with two pieces of Shu brocade. On the way back, my grandmother mentioned it a few words, and my daughter seemed to want her to enter the palace."

"What?" Mrs. Tao stood up suddenly after hearing this, stared and said: "Let you enter the palace? No, it's impossible. Whoever wants to enter this palace can enter this palace. Let my daughter enter the palace to suffer and dream!

"

Lu Wanning saw that Mrs. Tao was about to go to Mrs. Lin and make a big fuss, so she quickly comforted her: "Mom, don't get excited. They didn't say it clearly. This is just the daughter's guess. Maybe she guessed wrong.

Woolen cloth."

Mrs. Tao turned back and glanced at Lu Wanning, and said angrily: "Don't you know me well, mother? If it were true, you wouldn't mention it at all. Now that you have said it, it means that you are 90% sure about it.

Already."

As she said that, Mrs. Tao looked at Lu Wanning suspiciously as if she had thought of something, "You stopped my mother from going to see the old lady. Could it be that you also want to enter the palace?"

Lu Wanning shook her head quickly, "Mom, you are overthinking. My daughter has never thought about entering the palace."

Mrs. Tao nodded, "It's good that you don't have this idea. The palace is not as good as it appears on the surface. You see, the imperial concubine is living a good life on the surface. She is favored by the harem and is in the limelight. But only she knows whether she is miserable inside.

.”

"Including the days in the Prince's Mansion, the Imperial Concubine has been by the Emperor's side for nearly ten years. However, in the past ten years, the Imperial Concubine has not been able to get pregnant. She has taken countless medicines for various treatments. How are you doing this year?

The news spread easily, but it disappeared a few days ago."

Mrs. Tao was afraid that Lu Wanning would be dazzled by the superficial glory and wealth in the palace, and did not care that Lu Wanning was still unmarried to Yunying. She said earnestly: "Miscarriages are the most harmful to a woman's health. If she is not careful, she may not be able to get pregnant in the future."

Tao's words were like a bright light shining into Lu Wanning's mind. Initially, she was confused as to why Lu Wanyun and Lin wanted her to enter the palace, but Tao's words gave her a clue.

Could it be because Lu Wanyun's miscarriage hurt her body this time and it will be difficult for her to get pregnant in the future? The Hou family wants a prince with royal blood, and Lu Wanyun also needs a prince with the blood of the Hou family, so

Do you need to choose one of several sisters to enter the palace and give birth to a prince with the blood of the Marquis?

What about after giving birth to the prince? Can Lu Wanyun allow the child's biological mother to live?

"The Imperial Concubine is such a powerful person. She can't get better in the palace. If you enter the palace, I will never have a peaceful sleep in the future. I will only worry about you one day.

I can’t even worry about losing my life.”

Mrs. Tao continued to talk, but Lu Wanning felt chills all over her body.

Seeing Lu Wanning's face turn pale, Mrs. Tao thought she was frightened by her words, and hurriedly comforted her: "Ning'er, don't be afraid, mother will not let you enter the palace."

Mr. Tao was very confident, but Lu Wanning was not so optimistic.

Mrs. Lin and Lu Wanyunruo had made up their minds to ask her to enter the palace, and they might not give up so easily.

While the mother and daughter were talking, the little maid Yang Liu from Tao's yard came over.

"Madam, the old lady is here to see you."

Lu Wanning and Mrs. Tao looked at each other, and Lu Wanning said, "Could it be that I came to talk to you about this? I'll go with you, mother."

Mrs. Tao shook her head, "Your feet are already like this. You'd better rest well. Mom can go and do it by yourself."

Seeing Lu Wanning's worried eyes, Mrs. Tao touched Lu Wanning's hair and said, "Don't worry, mother will not agree to your entering the palace."

Mrs. Lin was sitting in the Dongnuan Pavilion of Jifu Hall, waiting for Mrs. Tao. When she saw Mrs. Tao coming, Mrs. Lin winked at the maids beside her, and the two maids beside her withdrew.

Mrs. Tao bowed to Mrs. Lin, pretended not to know anything and asked, "Why are you here looking for your daughter-in-law?"

Mrs. Lin pointed to the chair beside her and asked Mrs. Tao to sit down. She put the teacup in her hand on the small table and said, "Girl Ning will be sixteen after the Chinese New Year, right?"

"Yes, mother, Ning'er has reached the age where she should talk to others." Mrs. Tao smiled and said, "My daughter-in-law has been preparing to tell mother about this matter in the past two days."

"Originally, my daughter-in-law's brother-in-law wanted to settle the matter between Ning'er and Yun Yun before, but my daughter-in-law felt that Ning'er was too young to delay it. But now it's hard to delay it any longer. A few days ago, there was another letter from my daughter-in-law's brother.

When I mentioned this matter, my daughter-in-law thought that she would take care of it first after asking her mother for permission, and then slowly prepare for the wedding after Yunjun's science examination is completed next year."

Mrs. Lin waited for Mrs. Tao to finish speaking, then shook her head and said, "I came to you just to talk about this matter. Just go back to your parents' house. I have my own plans for Ning Yatou."

"Mother!" Mrs. Tao said anxiously: "Although my daughter-in-law's mother-in-law does not have a title, her father is a world-famous scholar, her elder brother also has an official position, and her nephew is even more talented and knowledgeable. His fate will be determined next year.

Being able to come out on top, let alone being the number one pick, second place, etc., there is absolutely no problem getting into the second place."

"The most important thing is that my daughter-in-law's nephew has good conduct and is not a womanizer. So far, he doesn't even have a girl who is married to him. It's hard to find a good marriage even if he is trying to find a good match. If my daughter-in-law refuses, where can my mother go to replace her?"

Ning'er can you find a better marriage?"

"Furthermore, although Ning'er's marriage has not been finalized yet, there is only one way to go. Now that my mother has asked her daughter-in-law to reject the marriage, will her daughter-in-law still have contact with her mother's family in the future?"
