The queen had no idea what the person had changed after she left. She was just supported by the female official next to her.
Jinzhi was the personal envoy who served the queen when she was still in the Lu family. Later, she entered the palace with the queen and was the person Empress Lu trusted the most.
She keenly noticed that the master was in a bad mood, and helped Queen Lu whispered: " The Empress Dowager is old and has been useless for a long time . Even His Majesty and the Empress Dowager don't come and work hard."
"What do you know."
Queen Lu's voice was cold, "No matter how confused she is, she is still the elder of the royal family and the grandmother of His Majesty."
"Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager don't have to respect too much, that's because they don't need it, but the emperor has not yet established a crown prince. If this can be exchanged for the support of the elderly in the court, let alone just serve tea and meals, I just want the palace to personally She can handle her daily life."
The Empress Dowager was crazy and often spoke inconsistently, but she couldn't stand her status. Moreover, there were frequent accidents in the capital during this period, and the fourth prince was somewhat affected.
The Duke of Song was gone, and Prince Cheng's mansion seemed to have lost his holy heart. In addition, Prince Li could not be involved in the Lu family, so she had to find a way to make up for it.
Your Majesty was fascinated by Xiao Yan's eunuch , and the Empress Dowager was smart and difficult to deal with. Only the Empress Dowager could be filial and not put too much effort into it.
Queen Lu raised her foot and stepped over the crescent arch: "You said that your mother had entered the palace just now, where is she?"
"The old lady has already gone to Fengxi Palace ."
Empress Lu frowned when she heard this. She only thought that Mrs. Lu was here to complain to her. After something happened to Duke Song's mansion, she knew that this would happen:
"I thought she would come earlier, but I didn't expect to endure it for so long."
Jinzhi hesitated and said, "Empress, it's not just the old lady who came, but Sanlangjun also went to the palace with her. I looked very bad when I saw the old lady , so was Sanlangjun."
She paused and saw that there was no one around, then lowered her voice and continued:
"The Empress doesn't know what's happening outside yet. I heard that Sanlangjun had been to Jiyun Lane this afternoon, but someone took off his clothes and threw them out..."
"What did you say?" Queen Lu looked shocked .
Jinzhi whispered, "I was also shocked when I heard about this. Miss Song is so in love with Sanlangjun. We all saw it with our own eyes, but today I was ruthless."
"Sanlangjun was thrown out of the Tang Mansion without any concealment, and Miss Song asked someone to carry the gifts given to her by the Lu family over the years and returned them to the Lu family. She also asked them for the things she gave to the Lu family over the years. He said he wanted to retire the engagement with the Lu family and divorce them..."
"She is presumptuous!"
Empress Lu was furious when she heard this. She gave the engagement in person. Although it was not as good as Emperor An's marriage, could the queen let her retreat as soon as she said she could?
What's more, Song Tangning is a young lady who is not gentle and well-behaved, and her engagement is so ridiculous. What she says and does represent the Lu family. Where does she put the face of Lu Zhinian and the Lu family in such a nonsense?!
Queen Lu returned to Fengqi Palace with a cold eyes. After seeing Mrs. Lu, she wanted to ask about Song Tangning, but she didn't expect Lu Zhinian to kneel down.
"Sanlang, what are you doing?" Queen Lu frowned.
Lu Zhinian whispered: "My nephew apologized for Tang Ning's affairs, and asks the queen and aunt to forgive him."
The queen said in a deep voice: "What does Song Tangning's affairs have to do with you? She is too chaotic and doesn't know that the woman Shuhui has made a long-term engagement and said she doesn't want it. What do she want it?"
"I will ask her to go to the palace and ask her if she has really no scruples after she sent the Duke of Song to prison. How could she give up the engagement she gave to me? , does she still have the queen of this palace in her eyes?"
As Empress Lu spoke, she wanted Jinzhi to send an order to summon Song Tangning to the palace, but she heard Mrs. Lu say anxiously, "Miss, don't go!"
The queen turned her head and said, "Mother?"
Mrs. Lu's face turned pale: "Song Tangning is not the easy-to-control person at the time. The Song clan was in trouble by her. She was also cruel to Sanlang. Such a disaster star is really not suitable to marry into Lu. Home, I might as well give up when I see this marriage..."
"What are you talking about?" The queen frowned, "I had a lot of thoughts to let Rong Qian'an relax. This engagement was something that I had to go through a lot of hardships."
"You should know that this palace has never been a mere Song Tangning. If you really don't like her, just wait for her to pass a while after she gets married, and then take a few concubines for Sanlang, but Sanlang's wife's location It must be Song Tangning."
Only when Song Tangning married into the Lu family, the connections left by the Rong family can be used by the Fourth Prince, the disciples of the Rong family, the old friends of Rong Qian'an, and even the great scholars who cannot escape the world can be accepted by them in the name of the Rong family. use.
The Lu family and the fourth prince can also gain a good reputation due to the Rong family's bloodline, and gain the attention of those old ministers and royal relatives who are inseparable from the salt.
The most important thing is that the eldest lady of the Rong family left a very important thing back then, which was very likely to be in the hands of Song Tangning. Only after she married into the Lu family can she get it right and not disturb anyone.
"This marriage must not be retired. If you are worried about Song Tangning, I can help you restrain her."
"She is just a 15 or 16-year-old girl. There are nannies in this palace who teach rules. No matter how wild her temperament is, she can restrain herself..."
Mrs. Lu was originally lucky, thinking that if the queen directly agreed to let Lu Zhinian and Song Tangning break the engagement, there would be no need to mention the fourth prince's matter, but who would have thought that the queen would veto it.
Lu Zhinian knelt on the ground and looked pale: "Auntie, it's not for Tang Ning's bad luck, but for the marriage."
When the queen heard this, she frowned: "What does it mean to retreat?"
Lu Zhinian whispered: "Auntie should already know that I was kicked out of Tang Mansion today. Tang Ning was very irresponsible to the Lu family and hated me very much for the incident in Mount Chuan."
"She had told me about breaking the engagement before, and I just thought she was just joking, but today she listed all the gifts given by the two palaces in the past, and even asked someone to beat drums and drums to give the Lu family what they gave. The goods, along with a single volume, were sent to the Lu family, and they vowed to clear the matter with us."
Queen Lu didn't understand Lu Zhinian's intention at all, and just said casually:
"What's that? It's just a matter of the little daughter's family. She wants to give it back to her..."
Lu Zhinian shook his head: "I can't pay it back."
Queen Lu looked puzzled.
Lu Zhinian's voice was bitter: "Auntie, look at these two volumes and you will know the reason."
He handed the things Lu Chongyuan had brought him into the palace to Jinzhi and asked her to present them to Empress Lu.
Queen Lu was confused at first, but her face changed as she looked.
She first quickly swept the roll of thin paper, and after reading it, her eyes fell on the roll of the list that could not be seen at first glance. Her fingers shook slightly:
"Don't tell me, this one belongs to Song Tangning."
Lu Zhinian's voice was obscure: "That one is indeed from Tang Ning, and most of it was handed over to the Fourth Prince by his grandmother, and he was given to him by his fourth Prince."
