At the end of the banquet, Lu Lingzhi stayed to talk with the old lady.
"Have you really decided to go to the western vassal state?" With no one else here, Old Madam Lu spoke to Lu Lingzhi without any scruples.
"Although I am now the Marquis of Anyang, there are still many people who look down on our Lu family."
"You want Shuang to be more carefree in the palace!" Old Madam Lu asked in a low voice.
"Grandmother, this is also one of the reasons. Although Shuang is now an imperial concubine, the emperor will choose a concubine sooner or later. If the birth of others is much higher than Shuang, it will not be easy for Shuang in the palace in the future." Lu Lingzhi whispered. He only had one sister. If he did not plan for her, who else would he plan for?
Old Madam Lu sighed, "I know you have always done so much for everyone in the family, but Shuang's character is not suitable for the palace …"
"Grandmother, did something happen in the palace today?" Lu Lingzhi asked in a low voice.
Old Madam Lu hesitated for a moment, but still told Lu Lingzhi what happened in the palace today. "… You didn't see Yao Yao's face. It was swollen. If it weren't for the snow lotus ointment given by the empress, she wouldn't have dared to come out to see people now. Shuang can't even tolerate her own sister. If the emperor chooses a concubine, how can she get along with those concubines? Besides, the emperor will have an empress in the future … I am really worried about Shuang. "Old Madam Lu sighed.
Lu Lingzhi frowned after listening. "How could Yao Yao meet the emperor so coincidentally?"
"Yanzhi, what do you mean by this? Do you think Yao Yao met the emperor on purpose? Is that what you think of her? What kind of place is the palace? How could a little girl like her know that the emperor will appear? " Old Madam Lu's face darkened slightly. She had some doubts at first, but when she saw Yao Yao's calm appearance, she still believed in her eyes. Yao Yao was not such a person.
"Grandmother, I didn't mean that." Lu Lingzhi hurriedly explained. He was just worried that the people around Mo Rongzhan would recognize that Yao Yao looked like Ye Zhen.
"Yao Yao's nature is pure and kind. She isn't a narrow-minded person, and she won't cling to the rich and powerful. Meeting Your Majesty in the palace today was an accident. If it wasn't for the Eldest Princess and her daughter, how could she have been slapped by Shuang 'er? Shuang 'er is too … "Old Madame Lu wanted to scold her, but she suddenly remembered that Lu Wushuang was already an Imperial Consort. She couldn't go on.
How could Lu Lingzhi not understand his younger sister? Shuang 'er must have heard the Eldest Princess' provocation and was also jealous that Yao Yao was prettier than her. She was worried that Yao Yao would obtain the Emperor's favor, so she got angry and impulsively hit Yao Yao.
This younger sister never understood that Mo Rongzhan was not the kind of person who would be tempted by beauty. Was Ye Zhen not beautiful at the beginning? Didn't he also turn a blind eye to it?
In the end … he was not confident enough! If Shuang 'er's favor in the Palace was not stolen, perhaps she would not be like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow, afraid that other women would approach Mo Rongzhan.
"Grandmother, I will go to the palace and talk to Shuang 'er." Lu Lingzhi said.
Old Madame Lu nodded. "She has only listened to you since she was a child. You should tell her not to always let her imagination run wild. If she can't even trust her own sister, who else can she trust?"
"Well, I know. You must be tired today. Rest early." Lu Lingzhi said with a smile. He knew that Yao Yao was not the kind of weak and timid person. Today's incident in the palace was certainly not as simple as his grandmother said. He should go and ask her.
Old Madame Lu was indeed a little tired. "When I left the palace, I didn't see the Imperial Consort again. I don't know what she was thinking. If she misunderstood Yao Yao, I'm afraid she will do something to her.
"Yes, Grandmother." Lu Lingzhi nodded.
Coming out of the upper room, Lu Lingzhi hesitantly looked at the courtyard on the other side. It was the small courtyard where Ye Zhen lived. He would come to see her tomorrow.
At this time, Ye Zhen was sighing at the red spots on her face. "If I knew it was useless, I wouldn't have made it. Now I have to find a way to make you disappear."
"Third Miss." Just then, Dai Mei came in from outside.
Ye Zhen applied the cream to her face and looked at Dai Mei. "What's the matter?"
"Marquis left from the upper room." Dai Mei said, wondering why the third miss asked her to keep an eye on the upper room.
"Oh, it's all right. You can go now!" Ye Zhen smiled. Lu Lingzhi was indeed suspicious, otherwise he would not have stayed to talk to Old Madame Lu.
Maybe he would come to see her tomorrow.
"Dai Mei." Ye Zhen stopped Dai Mei, who was walking to the door, and said with a faint smile, "You can't say a word about what I asked you to do, understand?"
"This slave knows, young lady, please rest assured." Dai Mei now regarded Ye Zhen as her only master. How could she do those things that betrayed her?
Ye Zhen nodded with satisfaction. "Go."
Tomorrow, she would go to the Women's College. Unlike the last time, she went with great determination this time. No matter how much effort she had to put in, she must make herself achieve her goal.
She looked in the mirror again, hoping that when she got up tomorrow, the red spots would have disappeared so that she would not have to go to the college with them.
Ye Zhen changed her clothes and lay down. Suddenly, she remembered that she did not know what Lu Wushuang was doing in the palace now. Mo Rongzhan's attitude towards Lu Wushuang puzzled her, but she was happy to see it happen.
In the palace, Lu Wushuang had calmed down from the anger of the day. She knew that she had lost her usual gentle and dignified manner in front of Mo Rongzhan. She regretted it and personally made cakes to see Mo Rongzhan in the imperial study.
Mo Rongzhan was holding a piece of broken jade pendant in his hand. When he heard Lu Wushuang asking for an audience, a cold light flashed in his deep and dark eyes. He put away the jade pendant. "Let the imperial concubine come in."
Lu Wushuang, who was outside, heard the summons. Her face showed joy. She tidied her temples and walked into the imperial study with a smile. Her face was full of grievance and tenderness. "Your Majesty, this concubine has come to apologize."
Mo Rongzhan looked at her faintly. "What did the imperial concubine do wrong?"
"Today, this concubine was too impulsive and lost her composure in front of Your Majesty. Your Majesty, will you be angry with this concubine?" Lu Wushuang asked in a low voice.
If it were in the past, Mo Rongzhan would naturally not be angry about such a trivial matter. But today, he felt that Lu Wushuang's behavior was extremely disgusting. If it were not for the fact that Lu Lingzhi was about to go to war and Lu Yaoyao was worried about the real Yaoyao, he would not have talked nonsense with her here.
When he found the little girl, he would slowly settle the score with Lu Wushuang.
"I am not angry with you. Don't take it to heart. I still have a memorial to read today. You can go back." Mo Rongzhan said lightly.
The smile on Lu Wushuang's face froze. She did not expect Mo Rongzhan to drive her away so quickly.
