Chapter 13 Chapter 13
When Luo Ran woke up, it was almost noon. Qingru walked up to him and said, "Empress, the Queen Mother asked you to go to Cining Palace."
Luo Ran's eyebrows and eyes were still filled with charm. The jade hand weakly supported Qingru's hand, and his voice elongated, "Empress Dowager?"
Qingru lowered her head and refused to look at her "Yes."
Some people didn't expect why this man wanted to see her. You know, even in the original text, the empress dowager did not appear several times. It was just one point that the empress dowager loved Lu Yu, the youngest son.
"knew."
Luo Ran did not wear the plain white silk shirt she usually liked the most, but changed into a tender yellow one. The Queen Mother never liked those white ones at this age.
Although she didn't know what the empress do, she didn't make things difficult for her. As soon as she arrived at Cining Palace, she was taken in by the nanny. The empress dowager was having a meal, and Lu Yu was with her side. When she saw her coming in, she looked at her side with her eyes.
Luo Ran instantly understood why the Empress Dowager wanted to see her.
Luo Ran paused, looked at the nanny with some embarrassment, hesitantly unwilling to step forward. The emperor was not here, and there was a man at this time. Although he was Xianwang and the emperor's brother, he still needed to avoid suspicion.
The Queen Mother had already seen her and glanced at her coldly.
Luo Ran no longer hesitated, took two steps forward, bent down and bowed, "I will meet the Empress Dowager."
The empress dowager frowned. She didn't want to see Luo Ran. After all, Luo Ran was born as a maid. As long as she didn't wander in front of her, how much the emperor pampered her had nothing to do with her. But today Yu'er mentioned her several times.
She watched Yu'er grow up. Of course she knew what Yu'er was thinking. She had heard that this Concubine Luo had a beautiful face, and even Zhou Xi, who was known as a beauty, was extremely afraid of her. Yu'er was afraid that she was like the emperor, and she was attracted to her face.
The Empress Dowager didn't want Lu Yu to have any disagreement with Lu Chen, but she always felt that she helped Lu Chen ascend the throne, and felt guilty towards Lu Yu and wanted to follow him in everything. It was just a meeting, and it would be okay to have her present.
Seeing that Luo Ran had been celebrating for too long, his body shook inadvertently. Lu Yu gently touched the empress dowager's arm. The empress dowager glared at him. Lu Yu smiled flatteringly, and the empress dowager said to Luo Ran, "Get up."
Luo Ran stood up with her lips pursed. The empress dowager was not the emperor. The emperor might have pityed her when she was in front of the emperor, but the empress dowager was only tired of it. Luo Ran did nothing and just lowered her head to stand aside. Her identity was destined to make her unable to please the empress dowager. In the original text, Zhou Xi's identity was not enough for the empress dowager to be attracted to, let alone her.
The Empress Dowager saw Lu Yu winking at her, but she felt impatient, but she still followed him, "Concubine Luo shouldn't have any meals, sit down and use them together."
Luo Ran was about to refuse, but when he saw the empress dowager's condensing expression, his eyes trembled. Without saying much, he sat on the other side of the empress dowager, and happened to be sitting opposite Lu Yu.
Lu Yu felt funny in his heart at Luo Ran's appearance of being pretended to be a little white flower, but he did not expose her in front of the queen mother and cooperated with her to act.
Luo Ran didn't use much. Since he was rejected by using public chopsticks to pick up food for the empress dowager, he just ate the meal in front of him quietly. Without saying a word, he suddenly felt that the toes under the table seemed to have been pressed.
Luo Ran's movements were paused, but there was no abnormality and continued to eat.
Lu Yu looked at her like this and became more and more playful. When he touched her again, Luo Ran's eyes suddenly became cold, but she lowered her head and blocked the eyes of others.
Just when Lu Yu touched her again, she suddenly stepped on Lu Yu's toes, twisted them hard, and used twelve points of force, Lu Yu's face instantly turned blue and purple. He groaned when he was caught off guard, and swallowed quickly.
The queen mother looked at him and saw that he looked bad, and locked her eyebrows, "Yu'er, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Yu looked at Luo Ran and raised his head when he heard the Queen Mother's words. From his initial confusion to his worried expression, he twitched his mouth and said, "My son is fine, the queen, don't worry."
Luo Ran looked worried, "Empress Dowager, I don't seem to look good when I look at the Xian King. Why don't you invite the imperial physician to take a look?"
When he said this, Luo Ran’s movements were merciless. King Xian gritted his teeth, frowned with his eyebrows and eyes, and finally pulled out his feet, then he gritted his teeth and said, “No, no, I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m worried, Concubine Luo is worried!”
Luo Ran bit his lips, shrank his body, and tried to smile timidly, "Your Majesty is so polite." After saying that, he lowered his head and stopped looking at him.
The Empress Dowager was still caring about him, but Lu Yu put his mind on Luo Ran. Luo Ran was in the no-no-nighlights and glanced at him, which was extremely cold.
Lu Yu didn't care at all, and even the anger that had just risen from the pain disappeared without realizing it.
"The Emperor is here!"
The sound of the sound suddenly rang, and the people sitting there changed their faces slightly except Luo Ran. Luo Ran chuckled at this time, which attracted Lu Yu to look at her more.
When Lu Chen walked in, the first person he saw was Luo Ran, followed by Lu Yu, frowned and stepped forward to salute the Empress Dowager, "My Mother."
The Queen Mother nodded to him, feeling guilty and did not dare to look at him, "Get up."
When Luo Ran saw him, he instantly showed a peaceful smile, "I will meet the emperor."
Lu Chen helped her up with one hand, then sat beside her, glanced at Lu Yu, his eyes getting deeper, as if he was asking casually, "What's wrong with the mother meeting Luo Fei today?"
Although the empress dowager was guilty, she was used to being domineering. She replied with a cold face and said, "I heard that the emperor recently favored a harem woman, and even took her to the imperial study room. The Ai family was curious and summoned her to meet her. Is there anything wrong?"
Lu Chen never takes the cold face of the empress dowager in his eyes. He knew that the empress dowager did not love him, but he loved Lu Yu more, and was used to loving Lu Yu. However, he still inevitably felt lost. When he was much more lost, he was disappointed and no longer looked forward to it.
"It's okay for the queen to see Concubine Luo, but why did she choose the time when the emperor's brother is there?"
The Empress Dowager wanted to avoid his question, so he asked directly. Lu Chen looked indifferent, but he looked straight at the Empress Dowager and refused to dodge her.
The Empress Dowager's face froze, "Is the Emperor questioning Ai's family?"
Lu Chen's eyes were faint, but he didn't say anything.
The Empress Dowager took the lead in looking away, feeling a little dissatisfied with Lu Chen. She questioned her like this in front of the concubine, but did she take her seriously?
Lu Yu listened to the conversation between the two and hurriedly said, "Brother, I just happened to meet Concubine Luo. Brother, don't be angry with my mother."
The emperor's brother was trained as a crown prince since he was a child. He had been raised by his father for a long time than following his mother. He was deserted since childhood and was still good to himself. The emperor's mother was actually just a stingy mouth and soft-hearted person. But how could the emperor say those two people deliberately say those soft words? So when they get along, they always start to have a stalemate after they can't say a few words.
It would be fine if Lu Yu didn't say anything. As soon as he spoke, Lu Chen looked at him coldly. Lu Yu shrank and did not dare to talk too much. The emperor's brother was not angry with his mother, but he would not show mercy to him.
"Emperor..." Luo Ran gently pulled Lu Chen's arm, his eyelashes trembled, and he called him.
Lu Chen paused, looked at her a little timid, and suppressed his anger. No one knew that when he came in, he suddenly felt anger in his heart when he saw Lu Yu's moment.
Too absurd!
The Queen Mother knew Lu Yu, wouldn't he understand? But he didn't expect that the Queen Mother would even follow him in this matter!
The intertwined anger and disappointment, Lu Chen suddenly felt very weak and tired. He pinched his eyebrows, pulled Luo Ran up, and looked at the Queen Mother indifferently, "Don't let her come to Cining Palace in the future."
The Queen Mother wanted to refute, but when she saw the disappointment in his eyes, she was stunned for a moment.
Until Lu Chen took Luo Ran out, the empress dowager still looked stunned. Lu Yu glanced at the empress dowager and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes. He had no other thoughts, but he just thought Luo Ran's face looked good, and he never expected that the emperor's brother would take her so seriously.
Lu Yu said embarrassedly, "My mother, don't worry, the emperor is just angry with the son minister. Later, the son minister will apologize to the emperor. In the future, he will never make the mother in a difficult situation."
The queen mother wanted to say stubbornly, don't go. But she still let Lu Yu leave. She was afraid after all. That was her first child. All her expectations were given to him. She loved Yu'er, but she felt more guilty. The palms and backs of her hands were flesh, but she just didn't do anything to the point.
Lu Chen took Luo Ran away without taking the imperial carriage. Luo Ran followed him closely. Although his face was as normal, his heart was not calm. He was walking big, and Luo Ran was having some difficulty following him. Lu Chen suddenly stopped and Luo Ran suddenly hit his back.
Luo Ran covered her forehead with one hand, gasped slightly, and looked at him in confusion, "Master, what's wrong?" Her eyes were full of confusion, as if she didn't understand what was going on.
Lu Chen lowered his eyes, took away her hand, gently stroked it, feeling a little distressed, but he suppressed his emotions and asked her indifferently, "What do you think of the Yi Wang?"
"King Xian?" Luo Ran's little face wrinkled, not understanding why Lu Chen asked her like this.
"Yeah." Lu Chen pinched his jade ring and waited for her answer. The Queen Mother's actions finally affected him. Lu Chen's drooping eyes were dark. When he saw Lu Yu, why didn't he avoid it?
Luo Ran frowned and thought bitterly, but couldn't think of it. He pulled Lu Chen's sleeve and said aggrievedly, "I don't know."
Lu Chen was stunned. The depression in his heart just now disappeared instantly because of her words. How could she know? She just saw three sides.
"It's okay, I'm thinking it a bit." Lu Chen raised his hand and rubbed her hair.
Luo Ran hooked his fingers, approached him carefully, and asked him with a raised face, "Are you not angry?"
Lu Chen chuckled and denied, "I'm not angry."
Luo Ran was the most well-behaved in front of him, and secretly glanced at him and responded with "Oh."
The author has something to say that the Queen Mother has very few roles, don’t worry, whether she is bad or not, haha
I heard that Jinjiang is going to upgrade
Mainly targeting salted eggs (modern Danmei), it seems that we should divide salted eggs into a channel
In that case, it's still quite friendly, just like romance, with salty salt and happy face
Readers want to read books, it's easy to find
