"Your Majesty, please see the Empress." Lu Xiang said in salute, his body filled with happiness.

Empress Song smiled and pulled her up, looking at the jeweled hairpin on her head with great joy: "Well, this hairpin suits you very well, it's beautiful."

When Lu Xiang wore the gift from her, Empress Song felt that her gift was worth it and she was happy.

Lu Xiang smiled lightly: "My Majesty has good taste, thank you very much, Madam... This pair of glass bottles was given to Madam. My sister-in-law's eldest brother brought it back from another country. It is not very expensive, but it is a rarity."

Empress Song happily accepted it: "You are thoughtful, I like it very much." She asked Yunlu to take it to her bedroom and replace the original vase.

"I ordered someone to make clothes for you. If you have a color or style you like, tell me so that I can ask them to adjust it."

Lu Xiang was flattered and waved her hand quickly: "No... no need."

Empress Song didn't see it and said to herself: "If you don't have any objection, I'll take care of it. Yunlu, please bring the food quickly."

Yun Lu entered the palace happily, and behind her the little palace maid carried a plate and put it on the table with a lot of cheers.

Queen Song sat opposite her, smiling beautifully: "Eat."

Lu Xiang couldn't laugh or cry, why she felt that the Queen was feeding pets.

However, there are so many delicious things...

Lu Xiang swallowed, picked up a glutinous rice dumpling and bit it, her delicious little eyes narrowed into a thin line.

"Has Lu Mingzhu given you any trouble after she returned?" Queen Song wiped the crumbs from the corner of her mouth and asked.

Lu Xiang shook her head: "I have the empress to protect me, but she didn't dare, and she was even banned by my grandmother." After saying that, she paused for a moment and looked at Empress Song: "Empress, how are you doing recently, concubine Zhen?"

Although her grandmother didn't say anything, she had gone to see Mr. An in the past few days and she was so distracted that Lu Mingzhu was not enough to worry her. The only thing that worried her was the concubine in the palace.

"Concubine Zhen doesn't have a niece like you in her heart. Do you still care about her?" Empress Song said disdainfully.

Lu Xiang smiled shyly: "After all, she is also my biological aunt."

"Shaohua, come here." Empress Song shouted towards the outside of the palace.

Shaohua heard the words and walked into the palace: "What are your orders?"

"Tell her about the recent situation of the concubine." Queen Song said.

She had a habit of turning her back on things outside the window, unless she knew about the major events in the palace. She really didn't understand such trivial matters as how the concubines were doing recently.

However, the maids around her knew clearly about the major and minor matters in the palace.

Shaohua understood, picked up the important ones and said to Lu Xiang: "Miss Liu was punished, Concubine Zhen was angered by Concubine Shu, and was slapped. After that, she never went to Chuxiu Palace again."

As for how Concubine Zhen was feeling and what she was thinking, she couldn't find out.

"Thank you, Aunt Shaohua." Lu Xiang thanked her.

Shaohua smiled and said, "Miss Third, please don't be polite to me." Then he withdrew.

Empress Song brought tea to Lu Xiang and said, "Don't be nervous. Everyone in the palace knows that Concubine Shu is domineering. Since Concubine Zhen decided to rely on Concubine Shu, she must have considered various factors and consequences. What's more, Concubine Shu still needs Lu Xiang."

As long as the pearl is of use value, she will not give it up easily. Once Lu Mingzhu's screen is finished, Concubine Shu's anger will subside."

"The most the concubine can do is vent her anger. She has no children, no heirs and no high position, so she cannot be a thorn in Concubine Shu's side."

Lu Xiang nodded clearly and lowered his head to drink tea.

Queen Song said again: "I'm calling you into the palace today. I have something to tell you."

"My Majesty, please tell me that as long as I can do it, I will do my best without any hesitation."

"That..." Queen Song started to speak, but after she opened her mouth, she realized that the next words were too difficult to say. After thinking about it for a long time, Queen Song said: "Last time, didn't I propose to accept you as my adopted daughter..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Xiang jumped up in fright: "Empress, I am timid, please don't scare me."

Seeing her frightened appearance, Queen Song was dumbfounded: "What I want to say is that this matter can only be discussed later. It involves many issues. Only after I resolve them one by one can I accept you as my daughter without any worries.

It is my negligence. I have promised you this before the matter is settled, so please wait a few more days."

Lu Xiang held her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty, your words are serious. I have no merits and virtues. I would never dare to receive such kindness from you. In fact, having your Majesty's love and affection for you is already a great blessing. Your Majesty, please don't do it for me."

I did something embarrassing for my daughter."

Accepting an adopted daughter from a wealthy family requires a series of stringent measures, let alone a queen. The daughter she adopts will be the royal princess. Not to mention whether the emperor is willing to recognize it, even the ministers in the court will probably discuss it.

, after all, she has not made any contribution to the country and society.

If this matter is not done right, we must not discuss it again in the future.

Lu Xiang was satisfied as long as she could hug her thighs, but she didn't want her status as a princess to get her into trouble.

Empress Song felt that Lu Xiang was really a considerate child and was deeply moved.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed, the autumn jackdaws are heavy on the branches, the fog is thicker outside the window, and the air is desolate.

Lu Mingzhu left the Mingjiao Courtyard holding the embroidery she had finished. She first went to greet the old lady, and then gently unfolded the embroidery in her hand: "Grandma, my granddaughter has finished the embroidery, can you take a look at it?"

As she said that, she glanced at Lu Xiang triumphantly.

That proud look seemed to say, it doesn't matter if it was you who embroidered it, everyone would only think it was her, Lu Mingzhu, who embroidered it, and the concubine Shu's reward and the queen mother's praise are all hers.

Lu Xiang remained silent, picking up the tea cup to cover up the bloodthirsty sneer at the corner of his mouth.

I hope you can still laugh after today.

The embroidery is magnificent, the birds are humble, the phoenix soars in the nine heavens, and lifelike.

Even if the old lady didn't like Lu Mingzhu, she couldn't help but marvel: "Yes, the Queen Mother will definitely like it. Please quickly collect it and send it to the palace." Don't break it.

Lu Mingzhu was even more proud: "Yes, grandma, the minister has entered the palace."

Concubine Shu now disliked Lu Mingzhu, so she just asked someone to accept the embroidery, casually rewarded her with a small gadget and sent her away without even seeing her.

Lu Mingzhu complained in her heart, but did not dare to say anything.

After leaving Chuxiu Palace, she thought about it and then went to Yanxi Palace.

Concubine Zhen didn't dare to appear in front of Concubine Shu recently. She just waited for Lu Mingzhu to finish the embroidery and make Concubine Shu satisfied that the Queen Mother was happy before moving around. So when she heard Lu Mingzhu entering the palace, she hesitated for a moment before seeing her.

"What did Concubine Shu say?"

Lu Mingzhu curled her lips: "The palace maid said that the empress is not feeling well and it is not appropriate to see me."
