the Crown Prince

Here, Qingdai had already selected the fabrics and colors according to Lu Wanning's usual preferences. She asked the person responsible for the enthronement to register the fabrics she had chosen, and then thanked the palace attendants who helped her ascend the throne, turned around and left the weaving and dyeing process.

Bureau.

Back at Linglong Pavilion, Qingdai immediately told Lu Wanning and Qingzhi what happened in the weaving and dyeing bureau.

After finishing speaking, he did not forget to comment: "I didn't expect that Wen Zhaoyi seems to be a gentle and gentle person, but the palace servants in the palace are completely different from her."

Lu Wanning smiled and said: "Wen Zhaoyi and Xu Jieyu have an old grudge, so naturally the people in the two palaces are also tit for tat."

It’s okay if you don’t meet them on weekdays, but if you do, you must fight for them.

But this has nothing to do with them. No matter how the two of them fight, it has nothing to do with them. They can just watch the fun.

After talking about the weaving and dyeing bureau, Qingdai looked at the sky outside and whispered to Qingzhi: "I wonder if the emperor will come tonight?"

Qingzhi gave Qingdai a speechless look and said, "You don't even think about what day today is. How could the emperor come tonight?"

What day is today?

Qingdai was confused for a moment, then patted her head and remembered, today is the first day of August. According to the rules, the emperor is going to the Queen's Palace on the nights of the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. Today is the first day of August, then

Of course, I have to go to Fengyi Palace to change, so I can't come to their Linglong Pavilion.

Qingdai was a little regretful, but also a little worried. Their master had only stayed in bed for a day, and then she encountered the second princess who was not feeling well and Chu Yi. If this back and forth was delayed for a few more days, would the emperor forget their master again?

Qingzhi and the others also had the same worries, but there was nothing they could do about it. Who could have let things happen by chance?

No matter how much they looked forward to the Emperor coming to Linglong Pavilion, they did not dare to think that the Emperor would come to their Linglong Pavilion instead of going to Fengyi Palace tonight.

If the emperor really comes to their Linglong Pavilion tonight, he will put their master on the fire. Not to mention others, even the queen will have to treat their master as a thorn in the flesh.

In the evening, the emperor had no accident and rested in Fengyi Palace.

It stands to reason that the emperor rested in Fengyi Palace last night, and even if the queen is not full of joy today, she should not be in an obviously bad mood.

But when Lu Wanning and the others paid their respects today, the Queen's face looked haggard, and her brows and eyes were full of irritability. Anyone could tell that she was in a bad mood.

The Empress was obviously in a bad mood. When the concubines paid their respects, they did not fight openly or secretly like usual. Although there was still an undercurrent surging underneath, on the surface everyone was still kind and no one started to stir up trouble. They paid their respects peacefully.

Everyone dispersed.

After returning to his palace, Lu Wanning learned from Zhou Man the reason why the Queen was in a bad mood today.

It turned out that the Emperor went to Fengyi Palace yesterday to test His Highness the Crown Prince's homework. His Highness the Crown Prince's answers were unsatisfactory, which made the Emperor very dissatisfied. He reprimanded His Highness the Crown Prince on the spot without saying anything, and also punished His Highness the Crown Prince.

After Lu Wanning listened, she thought for a while and asked Zhou Man, "How much do you know about His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Zhou Mandao: "I don't know much about His Highness the Crown Prince. Most of what I know are things that everyone in the palace knows."

"How smart is His Royal Highness?" Lu Wanning asked.

When Zhou Man heard this, he raised his head and glanced at Lu Wanning. The expression on Lu Wanning's face seemed to be pure curiosity.

However, no matter why Lu Meiren suddenly asked this question, since he had chosen Linglong Pavilion, he naturally couldn't hide anything from Lu Meiren.

Zhou Man lowered his head and said: "Everyone says that His Highness the Crown Prince is smart and very similar to the Emperor, but I heard from the young eunuch who once cleaned outside the Chancery's study room that when His Highness the Crown Prince was studying, a homework assignment often required the Master to teach it many times.

remember."

Zhou Man has never read a book, so he doesn't know if it is difficult to read, but if he needs to teach a lesson many times before he can remember it, then it can't be considered smart, right?

But he didn't dare to say such words. The words he just said to Lu Wanning were also accidentally spilled by the little eunuch outside the minister's study room once they drank too much.

This happened shortly before Lu Meiren and the others entered the palace.

At that time, the little eunuch offended someone for some reason and was assigned to look after the cold palace with him. He was depressed, so he often found wine to drink with him. After drinking too much, he said to him: "We are just not lucky.

They end up being bullied by others, unlike those dragons and phoenixes who are born aloof and can be praised without doing anything."

"Everyone in the palace says that His Highness the Crown Prince is smart, but in my opinion, he is just that. Those of us who are cleaning outside have all memorized what the Crown Prince taught him. If he still can't remember, what kind of intelligence is this? What if I

If I could change my identity with him, I would definitely be much better than him."

Such treacherous words scared Zhou Man into a cold sweat. After that, the young eunuch came to see him for a drink, but he stopped going, for fear that he would be implicated that day.

He swallowed everything he heard that day, pretending that he had never heard it before. If Lu Meiren hadn't asked about it today, he would never have mentioned it to anyone.

But even to Lu Meiren, he only told what Lu Meiren wanted to know.

Lu Wanning understood that the prince was the only prince currently in the palace, and the emperor had very strict requirements for the prince. If the prince had such qualifications, it would be normal for the emperor to be punished during the school examination.

"What about the deceased eldest prince?" Lu Wanning asked again.

Zhou Man shook his head and said: "We know even less about the eldest prince and the villain. Since the eldest prince passed away, the emperor was afraid that Empress An would be sad when she heard about the eldest prince, so he ordered no one in the palace to be allowed in the palace.

The eldest prince is mentioned in the novel, so I really don’t understand him.”

Lu Wanning just asked casually, but seeing that Zhou Man didn't know, she didn't ask again.

However, Lu Wanning couldn't help but think in her heart, if the prince's qualifications were really that average, if another prince was born in this palace, would it threaten the prince's position?

However, no prince has been born in the palace these years, and the death of the only eldest prince was still young. Could it be related to the Queen?

Lu Wanning has been in the palace for a long time and has seen the eldest princess and the second princess. Only the Crown Prince has not met her yet, and she doesn’t know what the Crown Prince looks like. However, she thinks that day will come soon.

No matter what happens when the Queen Mother celebrates her birthday, His Highness the Prince will always appear.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye. The emperor never came to Linglong Pavilion again in these days, and nothing major happened in the palace.

On the early morning of the eighth day of August, everyone went to pay their respects to the Queen Mother, and then the Queen Mother took everyone to Shou'an Palace to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday.
