"I have nothing to do, so I came to visit Lady Shu Fei and pay my respects to her. I didn't expect to meet the emperor and disturb the emperor's rest. I deserve to die, please punish me.”Lu Yueqin knelt down as she spoke. She looked very nervous and lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

"Get up. I'm not a tiger. There's no need for you to be so afraid. Don't be nervous.”Seeing Lu Yueqin's frightened expression, Zhen Gaodong couldn't help but laugh." We're all family. It's normal for us to walk around often. There's no need to do this." I've been busy with work these days and didn't have time to visit you. You must understand. Oh, I heard that you've been sick recently. How are you? Are you feeling better?”

"Many thanks for the emperor's concern, ChenQie is already much better. Consort Shu was concerned about ChenQie and sent someone to deliver something to ChenQie. ChenQie came here this time to express her gratitude but didn't know that the Emperor was coming and delayed the time.”Lu Yueqin said carefully. Every time she spoke to Zhen Gaodong, Lu Yueqin would lower her head and be very careful. She was always afraid of saying the wrong thing and getting into trouble.

"How's your father? He's been sick at home for so long.”Zhen Gaodong continued to ask," When can I go to court?”

Lu Yueqin had a bad feeling that he had asked about her father. Did Zhao Shengming say something to the Emperor? He raised his head and looked at Zhen Gaodong. Although he asked this question, his face was very calm and he didn't seem angry. He was relieved. After thinking for a while, he said,"Father's illness is an old one and it can't be cured in a day. Father also hopes to get better soon so that he can return to the court to help the emperor solve his problems, but his body doesn't allow it and he is powerless.”

"In that case, I won't force him. Let him rest well. He doesn't have to worry about the matters of the Imperial Court.”Zhen Gaodong advised. As Zhen Gaodong said this, he had another idea. Lu Wangyuan was indeed a talent, but he was not one of his own, so Zhen Gaodong was not willing to use him. However, Zhao Shengming said that this person might know the secret of the Night-Luminescent Pearl and had a special relationship with Shen Muwen. If they left him in Jiangluo City, he would be a threat in the future. He had wanted to kill him, but Lu Wangyuan's reputation was very high. If he were to kill him like this, the world would not be convinced. If he stayed in the capital, he could watch over him and control him. As for whether he wanted to use him or not, it was up to him. Therefore, when Zhao Shengming made this suggestion, Zhen Gaodong agreed without thinking. Coincidentally, Lu Wangyuan didn't seem to have any intention of becoming an official. That's good. Since she's sick, she should rest at home. This was the capital, and Lu Wangyuan couldn't do anything. Zhen Gaodong didn't like Lu Yueqin, especially when she was so submissive. He was disgusted by her and didn't want to see her at this time. He waved his hand and said impatiently," I want to rest. I don't want anyone to disturb me. If there's nothing else, go back. I'll see you in a few days."”

"Yes." Lu Yueqin let out a sigh of relief. She knew that Zhen Gaodong was just brushing her off. She didn't know if it would be a year or two, and she didn't care. As long as she could live in peace, it would be fine. After waiting for so long, she could finally leave. This was what she hoped for the most now. However, it was his own matter. Thinking of this, he turned around and glanced at Li Shumin.

Li Shumin understood what she meant. Remembering what she said, she walked over and took her hand to Zhen Gaodong."Just now, little sister Yueqin told me something and hoped that I would agree. However, this matter is of great importance and ChenQie couldn't make up her mind, so she wanted to ask the emperor's opinion.”She looked up at Zhen Gaodong and saw him nod, so she said," Sister Yueqin has a cousin who came to seek shelter. It's very inconvenient to live in the Lu residence, so Sister Yueqin wants to bring her in for a while and keep her company. ChenQie felt that it was not bad and wanted to agree, but there were so many rules in the harem that ChenQie did not dare to make a decision casually. She wanted to ask the emperor's opinion.”

Zhen Gaodong turned to look at Lu Yueqin and suddenly asked,"What's your cousin's name? How old is she this year?”

"Her name is Lu Huifeng. She's twenty this year. Because her parents have passed away and she has no one to rely on, she came to look for us. She's clever and clever, and we hit it off very well. That's why I wanted her to come in and be my companion. I want her to talk to me and ask for the emperor's permission.”

Zhen Gaodong thought for a moment and nodded." Alright, let her in. Since she's bored, she can find someone to talk to you. But you can't break the rules."”

"ChenQie knows, thank you for your grace, Emperor.”Lu Yueqin hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him. After the ceremony, she stood up and said," ChenQie's matter has been settled. ChenQie will take her leave. Your Majesty, have a good rest.”After saying that, he immediately left Hongfang Palace.

The matter was finally settled, and it was very successful. Lu Yueqin heaved a sigh of relief. This time, she could finally explain to Zhao Luyan. However, there was one more thing that made her feel at a loss. If Zhao Luyan came, how would she get along with her? Zhao Luyan was arrogant. Would she quietly be his servant? Lu Yueqin knew that Zhao Luyan's target was the Emperor, but the Emperor had never been to her place. Although she was Consort Chen, Lu Yueqin felt that she was living in a cold palace. Perhaps it was not even as good as the life in the Moon Alley. There was no freedom, no voice, and no one. How could Zhao Luyan be willing to live such a life? However, there was nothing he could do about it. He could only take it one step at a time. This was the truth. He had no way to change it, so Zhao Luyan could only do so. As she thought about it, she suddenly sighed. She was full of melancholy and did not know who to tell. Suddenly, she felt someone beside her tugging at her clothes. She turned around and saw that it was Xing 'er. Just as she was about to ask why, she saw Xing' er pointing ahead and asking…

"Empress, do you think that person is Young Master Fu, who is beside Lord Zhao?”

Lu Yueqin looked up and saw that it was indeed Fu Ruihai. At this moment, Fu Ruihai also saw her and seemed a little surprised. Seeing that there was no one beside him, he walked over and bowed. He said,"This humble servant Fu Ruihai greets Consort Chen.”

"Young Master Fu is too polite. We are old friends, so there's no need to be so polite.”Lu Yueqin said gently," I heard that Young Master Fu is the Imperial Guard personally appointed by the Emperor. It's a joyous occasion. I haven't had the time to congratulate him yet. I'm here today to pay my respects."”

"Your Highness, you are too kind.”Fu Ruihai replied humbly.

" Since I've met Young Master here today, there are some things that I have to tell Young Master." Lu Yueqin saw that there was no one around, then she dared to speak in a low voice," I've already done what Miss Zhao asked me to do. I went to look for Consort Shu just now. She has already agreed, and the Emperor has also agreed." Please tell Miss Zhao to get ready. I'll pick her up in two days.”

"Consort Chen, please forgive me. This matter, this humble servant may be powerless.”Fu Ruihai appeared to be in a difficult position." I'm already a royal guard. I can't leave the palace as I please, and I can't see Zhao Luyan for the time being. I'm afraid…"

" I see." Lu Yueqin was also a little helpless, but she could not bear to make things difficult for Fu Ruihai, so she said," In that case, I won't trouble Young Master Fu. I'll go out and look for her personally in a few days." Miss Zhao had been looking forward to this for a long time. She believed that she was already prepared and did not need anyone to inform her in advance. I have nothing else to say, so I will take my leave.”

"Farewell, Empress." Fu Ruihai watched as she left, feeling very upset. Lu Yueqin was a pitiful girl. She had been used by Zhao Luyan from the beginning. He thought that the matter had passed, but Zhao Luyan still did not let her off when she returned to the capital. If Zhao Luyan entered the palace and the two of them were together, Lu Yueqin would not be able to deal with her. If he encountered such a thing, what should he do? Should he help Zhao Luyan or Lu Yueqin? Logically speaking, he should help Lu Yueqin, but what about Zhao Luyan? When Fu Ruihai thought of this, he felt troubled again. He decided not to think about it anymore. He would deal with it when the time came. He suddenly remembered that Zhao Shengming was still waiting for him at the same place. If he told him about this, he would be very happy. Zhao Luyan must be very proud. Yes, if he asked about it today, she would tell him about it. After making up his mind, Fu Ruihai slowly walked back.

In Hongfang Palace, Zhen Gaodong sat on a chair. Li Shumin personally poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of him. Zhen Gaodong took a sip and put it down. "If you encounter such things in the future, you can settle it if you think it's appropriate. There's no need to ask me about everything." As long as these people's requests were reasonable, he would agree.”

"How can that do? The palace has its own rules. We can't break the rules. The matters of the harem should be decided by the Empress. Now that there is no Empress in the harem, such matters should be reported to the Emperor. I am just a Shu Fei, how can I make decisions without permission. Logically speaking, Consort Chen's status is higher than mine, but she has to ask me about her matters. This seems to be against the rules.”Li Shumin tactfully expressed her intentions.

"What's unreasonable about that? Didn't Zhen say long ago that without the Empress, you will temporarily lead the harem and manage these miscellaneous matters. It can also be considered as solving Zhen's problems. Otherwise, how could Zhen take care of so many things?”He took her hand and caressed it. He said gently," If you feel that your name is not legitimate, it's fine. In a few days, I will issue an imperial edict and directly confer you the title of Empress. What do you think?”

When Li Shumin heard this, she immediately knelt down, appearing to be favored and shocked. She hurriedly declined,"Since the founding of the country, only concubines with children can become the empress. Since ancient times, there has been no exception. Now that ChenQie has no children, and at this age, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do. The emperor should choose a more suitable one.”

"Now that none of the concubines in the harem have any children, who do you want me to choose?”Zhen Gaodong sighed and asked," A country cannot live without a ruler, and the harem cannot live without an empress. It has been ten years since the previous empress passed away. It's time to have one. Otherwise, who would take care of such a large harem?" Since he couldn't find someone with an heir, he would find someone with both virtue and ability. Only then would everyone be convinced.”After saying that, he looked at Li Shumin affectionately, as if he had already decided on her.

Facing such a gaze, Li Shumin could only avoid it gently. She smiled awkwardly and said,"If you want to talk about having both virtue and ability, I'm afraid it's Consort Chen. She is the leader of the four concubines. She is modest and knows etiquette. Moreover, she also praises her in front of the other concubines. There are no conflicts, and she does not form cliques for personal gain. I think she is the most suitable human nature.”

"No, Lu Yueqin definitely can't.”Zhen Gaodong shook his head in denial." Although she is Consort Chen, she is too young. She has no experience and has no opinions." If it wasn't for Jiang Luocheng's incident, I wouldn't have made her Consort Chen. How can she shock people with that look? No, absolutely not. I think the most suitable person is still you. Among these people, you have been with me for the longest time. It has been fifteen years. It can be said that we have helped each other through thick and thin. You understand me the most. After the previous empress died for so many years, you were the one who handled the matters in the harem. Moreover, you handled everything in an orderly manner, so that I had no worries. I've actually wanted to do this for a long time, but even if you don't agree, I can't force you. This time, I've made up my mind. Don't reject me anymore.”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:052520186:07PM
