Lu Wushuang looked at the figure in the mirror. Her makeup was exquisite, and her skin was white and rosy. She wore a lake blue dress with silver beads and bamboo leaves. Her waist was slender, which accentuated her curvaceous figure. She still looked bright and charming. She was not less beautiful because of her confinement. She was still full of confidence in herself.
She was even more gorgeous than before. After being grounded for more than two months, she had learned a lot. She also knew that she was wrong. She wanted to change, but she had waited for several days. Mo Rongzhan had not come to find her yet.
She heard that he had gone to Xu Huiru's place. Even the two maids had gone to serve her. Did he forget her now that he had a new wife? Did he not remember her, the Imperial Concubine who had gone through thick and thin with him?
The more Lu Wushuang thought about it, the sadder she became. But she could do nothing. The lesson of breaking into the Palace of Heavenly Purity was too heavy. The maid who had served her since childhood was beaten to death. The only maids she could trust now were Qiu Yan and Aunt He. She was even more afraid that if she went to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to find Mo Rongzhan, he might punish her more severely.
"Your Highness." Qiu Yan came in from outside.
Lu Wushuang turned around with a happy face. "Is the Emperor here?"
Qiu Yan shook her head gently. She could not bear to see the sad expression on Imperial Concubine Lu's face. "Your Highness, the Emperor may be busy. He may come a little later."
"Go." Lu Wushuang waved her hand impatiently. She walked around in irritation. She resisted the urge to run to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
She wanted to ask Mo Rongzhan if he had forgotten everything he said to her. He said that he would be good to her for a lifetime. Was this what he meant by good?
Had he forgotten that she was his savior?!
"Your Highness, it's getting late. Why don't you take a rest first?" Aunt He whispered to Lu Wushuang.
"Auntie He, will His Majesty never come to ben gong's place again?" Lu Wushuang smiled bitterly. Although she was not grounded, the power of the harem was still in the hands of the Empress Dowager. Mo Rongzhan had no intention of returning the phoenix seal to her.
She had been favored for less than half a year, and now she was about to fall out of favor. Lu Wushuang felt as if thousands of needles were pricking her heart.
"How could that be? He must have been busy with political affairs recently, so His Majesty didn't have time to visit you." Aunt He comforted her in a low voice.
Lu Wushuang showed a smile that was uglier than crying. "Then how did he have time to go to Xu Huiru's palace yesterday?"
He GuGu was speechless and did not know how to comfort Imperial Consort Lu. She was afraid that Imperial Consort Lu would impulsively run to find the Emperor again. If it was like last time, she might have to pay with her life.
"Niang niang, now that a new person has entered the palace, it is normal for His Majesty to be curious for a few days. Niang niang, rather than waiting here for His Majesty, why don't you do something that will make His Majesty look at you in a new light?" Aunt He said. She was ready to risk it all. Since Imperial Concubine Lu was her master, if Imperial Concubine Lu was not here, she would not have a good ending. It was better to help Imperial Concubine Lu stand up again.
Lu Wushuang looked at Aunt He doubtfully. "What do you mean?"
"Niang niang, His Majesty respects the Empress Dowager and loves the little prince the most. You have never been close to the Empress Dowager before. Why don't you take this opportunity to let the Empress Dowager value you? At that time, the Emperor will naturally look at you in a new light." Aunt He whispered.
"The Empress Dowager?" Lu Wushuang said unwillingly. "The Empress Dowager still wants Princess Liu Hua to enter the palace. She doesn't like me at all. No matter how I please her, it will be the same."
Aunt He said, "Niang niang, Princess Liu Hua has not entered the palace so far. Obviously, the Emperor does not like her. The Empress Dowager has never mentioned this matter again. Why do you still insist on the past?"
There was another reason why Lu Wushuang did not want to please the Empress Dowager. That was, the Empress Dowager liked Lu Yaoyao very much. She always had a hunch that Lu Yaoyao was her nemesis.
"Don't you want to see the Emperor? The Emperor goes to the Palace of Benevolence and Peace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager every day. "Aunt He added another dose of medicine.
Lu Wushuang's eyes lit up. She really wanted to see Mo Rongzhan. "Then I will pay my respects to the Empress Dowager tomorrow."
"Niang niang, you can't be like before in front of the Empress Dowager. You have to … be soft." It was best to be like Consort Xu Xian, who knew how to please the Empress Dowager. Otherwise, how could the Empress Dowager like you?
"I know." Lu Wushuang nodded lightly. She would treat the Empress Dowager like the Old Madame.
Aunt He saw that Lu Wushuang seemed to have understood. She quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
In the brightly lit hall of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Mo Rongzhan finished reading the memorials. He put down the vermillion brush, took a sip of the hot tea next to him, and closed his eyes slightly to rest.
Ford came in with a tray. He bent down and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, are you going to play the green card tonight?"
Mo Rongzhan raised his eyes slightly. A cold light flashed in his eyes. He looked at the green card with disgust. "Get out!"
"Yes." Ford was shocked and hurriedly retreated with the tray.
Mo Rongzhan was annoyed. He did not take Ford with him. He left the Palace of Heavenly Purity alone and jumped directly to the top of the library tower. He sat on the top of the tower and looked at the stars in the sky.
Although he had Consort Xian and selected a lot of beauties to expand the harem, for him, there seemed to be no change.
Yesterday when he went to Consort Xian's palace, he did not want to touch her at all. It was not that Xu Huiru was not beautiful. She was dignified, gentle, and talented. He was very satisfied in all aspects. However, he still did not get rid of his obsession with cleanliness.
In the past, in order to reduce the Crown Prince's vigilance against him, he would endure his dislike and disgust to touch the women sent by the Crown Prince and pretend to be a playboy. Later, when he went to the front line, he became obsessed with cleanliness. At that time, Lu Wushuang had not yet pretended to be his Yao Yao. He was not even willing to talk to her.
If she didn't lie to him … Mo Rongzhan thought that he was stupid enough to mistake Lu Wushuang for his Yao Yao.
But he was angry that he should not have recognized the wrong person. He should not have easily believed Lu Wushuang's words. Because of this, his obsession with women became more serious.
When could he find his Yao Yao? Mo Rongzhan originally missed the little girl he met when he was young, but what came to his mind was Lu Yaoyao who was sleeping in his arms a few days ago.
When he thought of her, he naturally thought of her soft and tender lips and the faint fruity fragrance of her body. His eyes became darker and darker, and his body changed subtly.
Mo Rongzhan's face became gloomy and terrible. He could ignore his obsession with cleanliness from childhood to adulthood for Lu Yaoyao, but that damn woman did not want to enter the palace.
Did she already have someone in her heart? This thought flashed in Mo Rongzhan's mind. He suddenly stood up. Was this the reason why she did not want to enter the palace?
Lu Yaoyao had not been in the capital for a long time and had not met any men at all. Did she know him in the border town? He should ask someone to find out what he was not as good as that person.
