Chapter 308 I was sleepy and someone gave me a pillow
Lu Xinran always had the illusion that the more he explored the past, the deeper the fog before his eyes would become.
Whether the emperor is the empress dowager's biological child...what does it have to do with her? !
She should just eat and drink every day, then lie down and be a happy spectator.
She raised her hand and wiped her face. "Tell me, if other people knew about this, what would happen if it was exposed?"
Song Junyan shook his head. He felt a little confused at this moment and didn't know how the situation would develop next.
"Go to sleep first. These things...are not urgent."
Too many years have passed. If there was no system, even if Eunuch Fu knew about this, he probably wouldn't reveal it.
Both of them slept uneasily with things on their minds. When Lu Xinran woke up with a headache near noon, Song Junyan had already stood up and left the inner room.
Too many things happened that day and night, making it impossible for him to be sweet with her in the room.
Song Junze's cleverness from the previous day had already reached Song Junhua's ears through word of mouth.
Song Junhua was furious and sent people to Jiangnan overnight, vowing to dig out all of Song Junze's properties in Jiangnan.
In the capital, he would not let Song Junze go either. He asked some officials who had already surrendered to him to submit reports of his crimes, saying that they would do whatever it took to get Song Junze to death.
There was a constant bustle in the court, and Song Junyan continued to take his "marriage leave" in his mansion. He did not accept any invitations from anyone, whether it was to visit other people's mansions or to invite people to the Prince of Wei's mansion, he ignored them.
Although the chaos in the court was caused by Lu Xin, the subsequent development was driven by everyone, and the matter no longer had much to do with them.
Naturally, they would avoid touching this muddy water if possible.
Although he never leaves the house, Lu Xinran is still well-informed.
Song Junyan gave her Ding Si and a team of secret guards, telling her to send them out to gather information no matter what happened.
As soon as Lu Xinran received the manpower, he asked Ding Si to go and watch the fun between the two princes.
The emperor didn't have much affection for his son Song Junze, and after discovering that he behaved in such a shameful way, he became even less friendly to him.
Song Junze knelt outside the Wenhua Palace, trying to use a self-torture tactic to arouse the emperor's favor.
But the emperor was a heartless man. The more he behaved like this, the more annoyed he became, so he had him driven out of the palace.
The emperor's actions made Song Junhua's methods more obvious, and he eliminated almost all the people that Song Junze had managed in the court over the past two years.
If it weren't for the fact that he was about to stop writing at the end of the year, he would have done something even more extreme.
On the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor left the palace to offer sacrifices to heaven.
A family banquet was held in the palace at night, gathering together all the princes, their families, and concubines in the harem.
Lu Xinran was originally thinking about how to find an opportunity to download the booklet of Lan Jieyu and Song Junze's biological mother, and this banquet was just the opportunity to make his wish come true.
Naturally, she would not let go of Eunuch Fu's booklet.
This year, the emperor did not choose a candidate from among the princes for the heavenly sacrifice. Instead, he went to the altar two days in advance to burn incense, bathe, eat vegetarian food and worship Buddha.
The ceremony was not over until the afternoon, when the imperial carriage was carried back to the palace.
When the emperor returned to the palace, all the princes and their families were already waiting in the palace.
After lunch, Lu Xinran and Song Junyan changed their clothes and rushed to the palace. The emperor was not there, so Song Junyan and several princes were waiting in the square outside the Fengtian Palace.
Lu Xinran went straight to Changchun Palace and Yongshou Palace to pay her respects to the Queen and the Empress Dowager.
When she arrived at Changchun Palace, the Princess of Chu and the Princess of Jin had already arrived. Although the fifth prince, Prince Xiang, had not yet married, the marriage had already been decided and his fiancée was also in Changchun Palace at this time.
Everyone arrived early, which made Lu Xinran seem like he was delayed.
"I was just talking about you, and here you are, kid."
As soon as the queen saw her come in, she waved to her. Lu Xinran hurriedly stepped forward to greet her with a smile, and nodded slightly to the two princesses and a future sister-in-law.
When the Princess of Chu and the Princess of Jin saw her come in, they felt a little nervous, fearing that she would use them as a sacrifice if she was in a bad mood or too good a mood.
Princess Chu turned her eyes away calmly and did not look at anyone. However, Princess Han Jingyun of Jin had complicated feelings since Lu Xinran entered the room.
Lu Xinran pretended not to notice her complicated gaze. He looked around the palace and quickly locked onto Song Junze's biological mother, Concubine Pang.
If she were outside the palace, her beauty would naturally be praised as extraordinary, but in the imperial palace, which had no shortage of beauties, her appearance would only make an old scum like the emperor despise her.
The fact that she was still just a noble lady for so many years after giving birth to the prince shows what kind of position she holds in the emperor's heart.
The Queen followed her gaze and glanced at Concubine Pang calmly. During the time when Song Junze was in trouble, Concubine Pang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. She came to her for help several times, but she sent her away every time.
I don't know whether those methods that cannot be made public were discussed by Song Junze and his staff, or were the idea of Concubine Pang.
After loading the booklets of Concubine Pang and Concubine Lan, Lu Xinran looked up and saw the amusement in the Queen's eyes.
She looked at the other person with a blank face, thinking that she was still ignorant.
When the Queen Mother learned that she had entered the palace, she was eagerly looking forward to her coming to pay her respects.
She called several concubines to her palace today. She had been fighting with these old guys for most of her life. Now that she had the chance, she was determined to get to the bottom of all the losses she had suffered in the past.
Several concubines sat trembling by the window. Although they didn't know what was waiting for them next, they were all pale with fear when they thought about the bad luck that had befallen the previous concubines who had come to Yongshou Palace.
When Lu Xinran and Princess Chu entered the room and saw this scene, she wanted to hold her forehead with her hand.
The Queen Mother really doesn't treat her with any formality.
The previous emperor’s concubines…there shouldn’t be many left, right?
If the Queen Mother continues to pester like this, the remaining concubines will not be enough to fill a mahjong table.
Restraining herself from complaining out loud, she smiled and walked forward to greet the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother smiled and motioned for her to sit next to her: "Come, come and sit. You probably haven't seen these concubines before."
She said this, but her eyes were on Lu Xinran.
Lu Xinran immediately understood that she had to eat the melons today even if she didn’t want to, and she had to make the empress dowager happy.
Thinking of this, she immediately laughed and bowed to the concubines. "My granddaughter-in-law doesn't come to the palace often, and she hasn't stayed in the capital for a long time. If I'm disrespectful, please don't blame me, Empress Dowager."
The Queen Mother laughed and said no, but her hands were already making gestures like one of the concubines.
"When I was young, I played with her the most."
The concubine who was pointed at by her fell to her knees and said, "Yes, it was my younger sister who was young and ignorant."
"What are you doing, I just suddenly remembered that we fought for a pot of peony with a beautiful fragrance, but it was a pity that all the flowers and leaves of that pot of peony were removed overnight."
