   Chapter 694 The Queen of Fanwai (3)

  The good news of King Xingyang's victory in Yandi soon spread in the palace.

  The concubines of the harem came to the Jiaofang Palace to congratulate them.

  The first emperor has already driven westward, and now it is the world of the new emperor Li Jing, and Lu Mingyu is the queen of the middle palace. As a concubine, if you want to live a stable life, of course, you must maintain a good relationship with the queen.

  Especially Yang Taibi was the most flattering and flattering.

  Her son, Li Min, is only one year old, and he can't walk easily. She was raised by the Queen Mother Qiao in the Yongmei Palace. Lu Mingyu went to the Queen Mother Qiao every day to greet her, and she could see Li Min from time to time.

  Lu Mingyu raised his hand so that Li Min could grow up safely. The situation is stronger than that of people, and it is impossible for Mrs. Yang to bow her head.

   Yang Taibi smiled and kept praising King Xingyang.

  Lu Mingyu was in a good mood. It was rare to see Mrs. Yang pleasing to the eye, and he casually said with a smile: "I went to Yongmei Palace yesterday to greet my sixth brother. He can already walk four or five steps. He is lively, healthy, and very cute."

   Mentioning her son, Yang Taimai raised her brows and laughed, "It's all well raised by the Empress Dowager."

   She also thought about it. It is much better to have a son by the Queen Mother's side than to be by his own side. The empress dowager is kind-hearted and will not treat children harshly. Lu Mingyu sees the queen mother's face, and will also take care of the children one or two.

   As long as the child can grow up safely, it doesn't matter what is in front of you.

   Wang Taifei smiled and continued: "The Empress Dowager is kind and gentle, and it is a blessing for Brother Min to be raised in Yongmei Palace."

  When Emperor Yongjia died, all the concubines in the harem were promoted to the first level. For example, the concubine Yang, the title has not changed, and there is an extra character. Wang Jieyu was promoted to concubine.

  In addition to Empress Dowager Qiao, Qin Taifei and Wang Taifei have a high ranking. One liter of grade, the food and clothing cost is better than before.

   Wang Taifei has always been the Queen Mother Qiao's person. Whenever it is critical, she will come forward and charge for the Queen Mother Qiao. The relationship with Lu Mingyu has also been good. It's useless to see Yang Taicong's eyes hotter.

  Lu Mingyu's attitude towards Concubine Wang was obviously closer and more casual, and said with a smile: "Bengong is going to greet the queen, and Concubine Wang has nothing to do. Let's go to Yongmei Palace with Bengong!"

   Wang Taifei readily agreed.

  The little princess reads with Li Xuan and others in the study every day. Wang Taifei has nothing to do during the day, and often goes to Yongmei Palace to accompany Queen Mother Qiao.

  Concubine Yang also wanted to go with her, but Lu Mingyu didn't open her mouth, and she couldn't follow her cheeky, so she could only get up and leave.

  Lu Mingyu and Wang Taifei went to Yongmei Palace together. As soon as they arrived at the palace gate, they met Empress Dowager Qiao who was going outside.

  The white hair on Empress Dowager Qiao's head was dyed finely and returned to black hair like clouds, but the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes could no longer be erased.

  Emperor Yongjia had only been buried for a few months. Empress Dowager Qiao wanted to keep her husband filial piety. The smile in his eyes was extraordinarily soft: "King Xingyang won the battle, and the Aijia was very happy when he heard it. I'm going to the Jiaofang Palace to congratulate you."

  Lu Mingyu said with a smile: "It can be seen that my mother and my mother have thought of one thing. I also thought that I must tell my mother about such a happy event!"

   said and took Empress Dowager Qiao's hand.

   Wang Taifei supported Queen Mother Qiao's other arm. Empress Dowager Qiao was in a good mood and turned around cheerfully. After entering the inner hall and sitting down, the Queen Mother Qiao said with concern: "King Xingyang has won successive battles in Yan, and now he has led his troops to Chu, and he should be able to return to the capital soon!"

  Lu Mingyu smiled: "It depends on whether the war in Chu is going well. If it goes well, I will be able to return to Beijing in two or three months."

  The Queen Mother Qiao stretched her brows and said with a smile: "This is great. King Xingyang is not in the capital, and Aijia's heart is always a little uneasy."

   Wang Taifei didn't intervene, just sat aside and listened with a smile. Occasionally glanced at the radiant Lu Mingyu, and couldn't help feeling secretly in my heart.

  Lu Mingyu's position in the harem is so stable, one is because he is very capable, and he has made many meritorious deeds. Second, it was because the new emperor Li Jing had a deep affection for Lu Mingyu. Third, because Lu Mingyu has a good father.

  The Marquis of Guangping rebelled and was stabbed to death by Lu Mingyu. The Marquis of Puyang is now a man with his head tucked in between his tail. Liang Erlang was promoted to the general of the royal forest, but he was still young and his prestige was not enough.

   King Xingyang is a well-deserved leader of the generals. After traveling thousands of miles abroad, returning to Beijing is like a needle in the sea.

   "Report to the Empress Dowager," the palace servant came to report with a smile: "The Empress Dowager Qin came to greet her."

   Empress Dowager Qiao and Lu Mingyu looked at each other and nodded slightly: "Let her come in!"

   In the past few months, Concubine Qin has been staying in Shouning Palace to take care of Empress Dowager Zhao, and rarely goes out. He was completely different from the Qin family who used to talk, laugh, and join in the fun.

   Suffering and pain will make people grow in the shortest time.

   Qin Taifei used to rely on the Queen Mother Zhao, and even the Queen Mother Qiao did not pay much attention to it. Now that the Empress Dowager Zhao has lost her mind and is crazy, her son Li Xian took the initiative to invite Ying to go to the land of Yanchu, in order to be born and die smoothly in the future. Concubine Qin also changed a person overnight.

   Concubine Qin, who was wearing a plain suit, also had white hair on her head, her complexion was dark yellow, her eyes were dim, and she looked a little older than the Queen Mother Qiao: "I have seen the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother."

   They are all widows, and the Queen Mother Qiao has no interest in making things difficult for anyone: "Get up, come and sit and talk!"

   Qin Taifei thanked in a low voice and sat down beside Wang Taifei.

   Wang Taifei was a little uneasy, and immediately got up and gave up her seat: "Qin Taifei sit here!"

   In terms of seniority and status, Qin Taifei was ahead of her. It would be too arrogant and rude to let Concubine Qin sit next to him.

   Qin Taifei said with a smile: "You and I are both Taifeis, whoever sits closer to the Queen Mother will be fine. Don't be polite to me, sit down quickly!"

  Lu Mingyu raised his eyebrows, his eyes fell on Qin Taifei's face.

The change of    Qin Taifei is really not small.

   Concubine Qin had the courage to laugh at herself: "Let the empress dowager empress me laugh. Now that I think about the stubborn style of the past, I feel flushed."

   Empress Dowager Qiao smiled and said warmly to Wang Taifei: "Qin Taifei insists that you sit, so just sit!"

  The princess sat down tremblingly.

   Qin Taifei was so low-pitched, and naturally there was a reason. She looked at Lu Mingyu earnestly: "Empress Empress, the concubine has a cheeky body and wants to ask, if Yandi won the battle, how long will Chudi fight?"

   In fact, what she really wanted to ask was, when will her son come back?

  Lu Mingyu said with a smile: "No one dares to say how long it will take to fight a war. However, in Ben Gong's opinion, the army will be able to return to Beijing at most in half a year."

   paused, then said: "The fourth brother killed the traitor in Yandi this time, and made a great contribution. After returning, the fourth brother will be the first in terms of merit and reward."
