Becoming The Real Rich Daughter After Divorce
Chapter 259 The Queen Mother intends to let Zhou Shihui be the Crown Prince’s concubine
With tears in his eyes, Zhou Shihui bit the handkerchief tightly and turned around and walked out of the restaurant.
As he ran, he sobbed: "He really likes that playboy Fulu. How on earth am I inferior to her!"
She is also the princess. Why does senior brother like Fulu? How can she be the future mistress of the Anyuan Marquis Mansion if she doesn't know how to read?
In the Yingbin Building in the distance.
King Huai looked into the distance and said to Zhou Siming beside him:
"I am also trying my best to plead with my father to spare Sisi's life.
But you also know that I have never been favored by my father..."
Zhou Siming said: "Your Majesty, Sisi will be beheaded as soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival is over. Now only you can save Sisi."
King Huai sighed and said: "One day, a hundred days of kindness to husband and wife, I have a deep love for Sisi, how can I ignore her?"
I wish I could die for Sisi. If I can exchange my life for Sisi’s life, I am willing. "
Zhou Siming pursed his lips, frowned and said, "Your Majesty."
King Huai pointed to Zhou Shihui below and said, "Is that your cousin? Now there are rumors in Luoyang City that this Shihui is actually my little sister?"
Zhou Siming said: "I don't know my cousin's life experience either."
King Huai said: "Nowadays, rumors say that Zhou Qinghe is quite popular with his father. Moreover, Zhou Qinghe's talents are already famous throughout Luoyang, and it will only be a matter of time before he becomes famous all over the world."
"Your aunt the queen is not willing to help you rescue Zhou Sisi, but your aunt may not be willing."
Zhou Siming sighed deeply and could only place his hopes on his aunt.
…
Half of July is an important day in Datang.
Folks celebrate the early autumn to reward the earth, and offer sacrifices to their ancestors to tell them about the autumn harvest.
The royal family also worships ancestors during the seventh month and a half.
The Lu family has ancestral temples in Chang'an and Luoyang, so there is no need to go back to Chang'an to worship ancestors, but it can also be done in Luoyang.
The sacrificial ceremony begins before dawn, and all the clan members line up according to seniority to offer incense one by one.
Li Lingling, who has always been a troublemaker, did not dare to make trouble at this time.
Although King Huai was the eldest son, he was not the legitimate son, so he was ranked behind Lu Chen and Qiao Jinniang.
When Qiao Jinniang followed Lu Chen to apply incense, the incense ashes fell on Qiao Jinniang's hand. Instantly, her hand turned red and a blister formed.
After Lu Chen saw it, he looked at Qiao Jinniang with worried eyes.
Qiao Jinniang smiled lightly and shook her head, then hid her burned hand in her sleeve and held Lu Chen's hand with her other hand, telling him to keep quiet.
Qiao Jinniang has never believed in gods and Buddhas because eight times out of ten times she burnt incense she was burned by the ashes.
It would be fine if there were no incense in the incense burner in front. If it was filled with burning incense, she would definitely burn her hands every time she put incense.
So she was very reluctant to go to the temple.
Last time when she was offering incense to her ancestors at her wedding, only the emperor and empress were offering incense in front of her, so the incense burner was empty so she wouldn't be burned.
But today is different. Today, the emperor and the empress first offer incense, and then the old princes and concubines among the clan members offer incense according to their seniority.
When Lu Chen and Qiao Jinniang were offering incense, the incense burner was already filled with incense.
Qiao Jinniang was originally afraid of this, but she couldn't throw the incense in, so she could only insert it through every crack. Even so, she still got burned.
After Li Lingling saw it, she said: "Oh, the Crown Princess's hand was burned. It seems that this is the punishment of Taizu. Even Taizu does not recognize the Crown Princess!"
Lu Chen glanced over with stern eyes, "The Crown Princess had sacrificed to the ancestors of the Lu family during her wedding, so why did she say she didn't recognize her?"
When Queen Zhou heard what Li Lingling said, she walked up to Qiao Jinniang, took Qiao Jinniang's hand and said, "Hey, it's so red and swollen, and so are you. Why didn't you tell me? Doctor, hurry up and get the burn ointment."
Seeing that Queen Zhou didn't blame her, Qiao Jinniang said, "Thank you, Queen Mother."
The doctor girl came to apply egg yolk ointment to Qiao Jinniang.
Lu Chen took the egg yolk ointment from the doctor's hand, applied it to Qiao Jinniang, and explained:
"Mother, she rarely goes to temples. She sees too much incense in the incense burner, so she refuses to offer incense. It is inevitable that she will be burned by so much incense."
Princess Gong came out and said: "The incense burner is not big when worshiping ancestors. There are many incense. It will indeed burn me. I was often burned when I was young."
Li Lingling was extremely angry, why did Qiao Jinniang have such good luck?
The incense ashes burned her hands. According to folk wisdom, didn't it mean that the ancestors did not recognize Qiao Jinniang?
King Huai cupped his hands and said, "My father, my mother, my queen, and my sons and ministers thought that the princess' hands were burnt by the ashes of ancestor worship, so it must be because her ancestors have spirits.
The prince was childless after marriage, and the princess did not help with the draft, but used the single peony to express her position, so the ancestors were convicted! "
Qiao Jinniang frowned and looked at King Huai. Isn't it a good thing for him that the prince does not accept the concubine?
Why did he rush to let Lu Chen come to take the concubine this time?
Emperor Huilin, who had never listened to what King Huai said, heard this and said, "What King Huai said this time makes some sense."
Empress Zhou frowned slightly and looked at Emperor Hui Lin in confusion. Emperor Hui Lin looked away.
After worshiping ancestors.
Queen Zhou and Emperor Huilin returned to the Xuanzheng Hall.
Empress Zhou asked Emperor Huilin: "What do you mean, Your Majesty? Didn't Chen'er already say that he won't accept concubines?"
Emperor Huilin said helplessly: "He is fooling around, should we follow him?
Previously, he was afraid that Qiao Jinniang would not want to enter the palace, but now that Qiao Jinniang is already the princess, it doesn't matter if he chooses a concubine.
I don’t believe that Qiao Jinniang dares to negotiate a reconciliation with the prince at this time! If she is willing, the Qiao family will not allow her to mess around. "
Empress Zhou said angrily: "It's nonsense to not accept concubines, so in your eyes, my concubine has also been nonsense all these years?
If you want Chen'er to have a concubine and make Chen'er's harem uneasy, why not demote the concubine to the cold palace first so that I can be clean? Out of sight is pure. "
Emperor Huilin hurriedly begged for mercy: "What are you talking about? Why am I worried about Chen'er's family? Don't you want to hold more grandchildren?"
Queen Zhou said: "I only want my direct grandson and granddaughter. Your Majesty will choose a few concubines for Chen'er, and I will also choose a few concubines for you. There is only one rule. You should not step into my concubine's palace in the future." That’s it.”
Emperor Hui Lin: "...Forget it, I don't care about Chen'er. Whether he wants a concubine or not, it has nothing to do with me."
It's not worth it that I have no wife because of that unfilial little white-eyed wolf who only sees his wife.
In the East Palace.
Little Lu Xi held Qiao Jinniang's hand and blew carefully: "Mother, it doesn't hurt."
Qiao Jinniang touched little Lu Xi's head. With such a well-behaved son, what other children would he need.
Lu Chen said guiltily: "I forgot today and didn't arrange the incense burner in advance. It won't happen like this next time."
"Your Majesty, Princess Chu and Princess Qi are coming to visit you. Do you want to summon them?"
"Xuan." Qiao Jinniang said.
Lu Chen held little Lu Xi's hand and said to Qiao Jinniang, "You entertain them first, and I'll take Xi'er to study."
"Um."
Princess Qi sighed and said: "Princess, Your Majesty has already said that he will give His Highness the Crown Prince a concubine. I wonder if Your Majesty has someone chosen?"
Princess Chu took the tea from the maid next to her and said, "I just heard from King Huai that he wants Li Lingling to ask the Queen Mother to give Zhou Shihui to the Crown Prince as a concubine!"
Qiao Jinniang just took a sip of tea and almost spit it out. The rules told her to swallow the tea, coughed a few times and said, "Wha, what?"
Princess Qi was also surprised: "Isn't it rumored outside that Zhou Shihui is the illegitimate daughter of his father?
Zhou Shihui is the prince's biological sister, how can she be the prince's concubine? "
