Chapter 97
The Hou Mansion receives the order
Lu Wanning thanked the Queen Mother with a happy face, "I would like to thank you, Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother waved her hand, looking at the undisguised joy on Lu Wanning's face, and asked her, "Apart from this, don't you want anything else?"
Lu Wanning shook her head, "The Queen Mother can allow my concubine's mother to visit me in the palace. I am very satisfied."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother nodded and did not continue the topic. After asking Lu Wanning a few other words, she served tea to see off the guests.
Although Lu Wanning made no other request besides wanting to see her mother, the Queen Mother still gave Lu Wanning an extra reward.
When Lu Wanning returned to Linglong Pavilion, the rewards from the Queen Mother had also arrived. In addition to the fashionable fabrics from the new tribute in the south, there were also a lot of spices.
Lu Wanning took one look and asked Qingzhi to put these things away. She was not thinking about it at all now.
The Queen Mother promised to send a message to her mother to come to the palace to visit her, but she did not know when she would send the message to her mother and when her mother would be able to enter the palace.
She couldn't wait to see her mother.
The Queen Mother did not let Lu Wanning wait for a long time, and sent someone to the Zhongyong Hou Mansion to deliver the decree that day.
In the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, after receiving the order, Lin, Chang and others, including Tao himself, were confused.
The imperial edict only said that Xuantao would enter the palace, but it did not say why Xuantao entered the palace.
In the past, even if there was something in the palace to announce someone's entry, it would only be the Lin or Chang family. Why did it become the Tao family this time?
Mrs. Lin stuffed the prepared purse into the eunuch who came to announce the decree, and inquired with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law. My daughter-in-law has never been to the palace before. I am a little worried that after she enters the palace, she will displease the nobles in the palace."
, I wonder if my father-in-law can give her a few words, is there anything I should pay attention to when she enters the palace this time?"
"Old Madam, you're very polite." The eunuch who announced the decree collected the purse given by Mrs. Lin and said with a smile: "Old Madam, don't worry, the Queen Mother just heard that Lu Meiren said she misses her mother, so she specifically announced that the Third Madam will enter the palace.
It also gives the third lady an opportunity to visit Lu Meiren. The third lady can just enter the palace as usual and does not need to pay any extra attention."
Mrs. Tao was very excited when she heard that she would be able to see Lu Wanning when she entered the palace this time.
Mrs. Lin glanced at Mr. Tao with some surprise, then thanked the eunuch who announced the decree for his advice, and asked her fourth son Lu Yuan to send the person out of the Hou Mansion in person.
After the eunuch who announced the decree left, Mrs. Lin said to Mrs. Tao in a rare and pleasant manner: "Since the Queen Mother has announced your entry into the palace, you should go back and make preparations quickly so as not to make any mistakes when you enter the palace tomorrow."
The second wife, Mrs. Zhang, smiled and said to Mrs. Tao: "Second sister-in-law congratulates my younger brother and sister. My younger brother and sister have been thinking about Beauty Lu for so long, and now we finally have the opportunity to meet Beauty Lu."
Mrs. Tao smiled and said a few polite words, then took the maid back to her yard.
Chang frowned slightly as she looked at Tao's walking back. Although it was the imperial concubine's idea to let Lu Meiren enter the palace, the current situation was not what she wanted to see.
Although Lu Meiren is only a sixth-grade beauty now, and the imperial concubine has become a second-grade imperial concubine, she should not worry that Lu Meiren will threaten the imperial concubine, but ever since Lu Meiren entered the palace, she has always been lingering in a faint uneasiness.
The Empress Dowager specially announced that Mrs. Tao was coming to the palace to visit Lu Meiren, which made her even more uneasy.
Lu Meiren was quiet and discreet at home, but she didn't expect that she would have such ability after entering the palace. Not only could she win the favor of the emperor, but she could also let Mrs. Tao come into the palace to visit her when she was a beauty. This kind of method is really good for the imperial concubine.
Can you hold her?
It seemed that she had to take time to go to the palace and have a good chat with the imperial concubine.
As soon as Mrs. Tao returned to her courtyard, she happily asked her maid to prepare the clothes and jewelry for her to enter the palace tomorrow.
After struggling for a long time, Mrs. Tao chose an outfit of clothes and jewelry that she was satisfied with.
The next day, Mrs. Tao woke up early in the morning, packed herself up, had breakfast in a hurry and waited to go out.
After the carriage arrived at the palace gate, Mrs. Tao took a deep breath, got out of the car, and entered the palace step by step.
After entering the palace, Tao first went to Shou'an Palace to pay a visit to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother did not see Mrs. Tao, but directly asked Mrs. Tao to be taken to Linglong Pavilion.
When Lu Wanning saw Mrs. Tao, she was stunned for a moment before she realized, "Mother!"
Mrs. Tao's eyes couldn't help but turn red when she heard Lu Wanning's voice.
Lingxiu, who was responsible for sending Mrs. Tao over, smiled and said, "It's hard for Mei Lu and Mrs. Lu to meet each other, so I won't disturb Mei Lu and Mrs. Lu's reunion here."
Lu Wanning nodded and smiled at Lingxiu, "Sorry for bothering Miss Lingxiu, Qingzhi, send Miss Lingxiu away."
Qingzhi responded, walked to Lingxiu, and said with a smile: "Miss Lingxiu, I'll see you off."
Qingzhi sent Lingxiu out of Linglong Pavilion for a long distance before turning back.
When she came back, she saw Mr. Tao sitting there wiping his tears, Lu Wanning comforting her softly, and Qingdai waiting beside her with bright red eyes.
Mrs. Tao cried for a while, and then stopped her tears with Lu Sunning's comfort. After staring at Lu Sunning's bright face for a while, Mrs. Tao shook her head and said, "I've lost weight."
Lu Wanning smiled and said: "Mom, take a closer look, have I really lost weight?"
Obviously the clothes she wore before were too tight and too small, so how could she still lose weight?
Mrs. Tao looked at Lu Wanning again and insisted, "I just lost weight."
Lu Wanning had no choice but to follow Mrs. Tao's words and said: "Then my daughter will eat more in the future and try to gain weight again."
Hearing this, Mr. Tao hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't want it anymore, as long as I don't lose weight any more."
Although my daughter looks a little thinner now, she is quite beautiful. If she were fatter, the emperor might not like her.
Lu Wanning smiled and asked Mrs. Tao: "How is my mother's health lately? Has she gotten sick again? My brother has been studying hard recently. Is his homework good?"
Mrs. Tao smiled and nodded, "Everything is fine, everything is fine. You don't have to worry about us. Your brother and I are fine. How are you doing in the palace? Have you ever been bullied?"
Lu Wanning shook her head, "Mom, don't worry, my daughter will be fine in the palace except missing her. No one will bully her?"
"Really? No one is really trying to make things difficult for you?" Tao asked in disbelief.
Lu Wanning nodded and smiled to feel relieved for Mrs. Tao. "Of course it is true. My daughter is a girl from the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, and she is quite favored by the emperor. Who would bully and embarrass my daughter? At most, someone would say a few sour words.
It’s just words, if you don’t believe me, you can ask Qingzhi and Qingdai.”
Mrs. Tao looked at Qingzhi and Qingdai, "Are everything you ladies said true?"
Qingzhi and Qingdai nodded and said, "Back to Madam, what the master said is true."
