LOL! Is this scumbag waiting for the New Year to divorce?

Seeing that nothing was wrong, Lu Chenshuang was about to leave the palace, but then she caught a glimpse of Rong Yi and the Seventh Prince kneeling beside her.

The two of them probably knelt for too long, and their faces looked miserable.

Lu Chenshuang glanced at the people present. The emperor was no longer there, and the most powerful one was the queen.

So he said, "Empress, the Seventh Prince and Prince Rong have been kneeling for quite a long time, why don't you ask them to stand up.

It would be troublesome if they were young and fainted.

I don’t have the energy to save both of them.”

Rong Yi was very angry when he heard Lu Chenshuang's words. What did this woman mean? If she could save Chen Yaohui's concubine, why couldn't she save him and the Seventh Prince?

But when he looked up, he found Lu Chenshuang winking at him.

I immediately understood that Lu Chenshuang was pleading for them.

So he smiled and lowered his head again. Lu Chenshuang was still good to him.

The Seventh Prince, who was standing by, saw that Rong Yi still had a smile on his face, and for a moment he wondered if he was just kneeling like an idiot.

It shouldn't have happened. At most, their knees hurt. And before they knelt, the Empress Dowager had asked Nanny Fang to tie cotton pads around their knees, so their knees didn't feel anything.

It's just that kneeling is very tiring.

Could it be that Rong Yi was frightened silly?

Thinking of this, the Seventh Prince felt that Rong Yi was really a coward.

If Rong Yi knew what the Seventh Prince was thinking, he would definitely call him an idiot and said he deserved to be single like his uncle.

Unlike him now who has a wife to protect him.

Seeing this, the Queen pretended to be embarrassed and said, "The Emperor said that they must kneel for six hours before they can get up, and I dare not disobey his order without authorization.

Chen Yanghou, look..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yanghou said, "Since Hui'er is fine, let the Seventh Prince and Prince Rong get up.

Hui Er is also responsible for this matter. Please don't blame the Princess and the Emperor."

The princess heard this and said, "Don't worry, Marquis Chenyang, these are just angry words between children. I won't take them to heart.

Thank you Chen Yanghou for your magnanimity this time."

Marquis Chenyang said he didn't dare, and the prince of Chenyang looked at the princess with a complicated expression.

In fact, Marquis Chen Yang is extremely satisfied with the eldest princess' daughter-in-law.

The eldest princess is of noble status and is not fussy about details, but she does not have the arrogance and willfulness of a princess.

Even though he knew that the Chen family was the one who had wronged the eldest princess in that matter, their Chen family also needed a descendant to continue the family line.

So Marquis Chen Yang felt guilty when facing the eldest princess.

But the look on Chen Yanghou's face made Lu Chenshuang feel a little nauseous.

It's like being a whore and trying to be a virtuous woman.

Chen Yaohui's mother wanted to say something, but she had no right to speak in this situation.

The Queen quickly said, "Since Marquis Chen Yang has spoken, why don't you two get up quickly?"

The Queen was also afraid that if she spoke too late, Chen Yanghou would go back on his word.

Upon hearing this, Rong Yi and the Seventh Prince stood up as if they had been pardoned.

The queen looked at them and said, "Although Chen Yanghou has spared you this time, you cannot act lawless. Go to Zhaoyang Palace and reflect on your mistakes for another two hours."

The two men immediately dropped their faces when they heard that.

But he still obeyed and left.

The two of them were walking while covering their knees, which was a very strange posture.

If you don’t know, you might think that the two of them had knee pain because they had been kneeling for too long.

But only the two of them knew that it was because the cushion tied around his knees was loose, and if he didn't cover it with his hands, it would fall out.

Lu Chenshuang originally planned to leave the palace, but was invited to Zhaoyang Palace by the Queen.

Although Lu Chenshuang had been to the palace twice, she had never been anywhere else except the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace.

She was a little surprised when the Queen invited her to Chaoyang Palace this time.

But thinking about the friendship between them after all, the Queen would not harm herself.

Lu Chenshuang followed the queen to Zhaoyang Palace with confidence.

This Zhaoyang Palace is worthy of being the residence of queens of all dynasties, its luxury is astonishing.

Rong Yi and the Seventh Prince were taken to the side hall, while the Queen brought Lu Chen to the main hall.

The head maid of Zhaoyang Palace served tea and snacks to the two of them with great discernment and then left.

When the queen saw Lu Chenshuang looking at his residence, she smiled bitterly and said, "What good is a luxurious palace? You only live in one room.

I would rather live like an ordinary couple, with a humble house, a few acres of land, and love each other till old age."

Lu Chenshuang: . . . . . . .

Lu Chenshuang really couldn't believe that the Queen was actually a love-brained person.

Is it really true that love is enough to satisfy one's hunger in this world?

The Queen seemed to see disapproval from Lu Chenshuang's expression.

So he asked, "Miss Lu, you seem to disagree with what I said."

Lu Chenshuang was hungry, so she picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into her mouth.

When he heard the queen's question, he just hummed lightly and said nothing more.

The queen was waiting for her to explain, but Lu Chenshuang just started eating.

The queen had no choice but to speak up again: "Why don't you agree, Miss Lu? Aren't you divorcing Jing Zhaoyan to find a close friend and live a better life?

Or is it that Miss Lu can do it but I can’t?”

Lu Chenshuang took another sip of tea and said, "Your Majesty, what you said is only half right. Jing Zhaoyan and I divorced for a better life.

But it’s not about finding a confidant.

The Queen should know what kind of life I spent in Marquis Jingyang’s Mansion.

Yes, I loved Jing Zhaoyan at the beginning, so I was willing to be a widow and marry him. Unfortunately, I couldn’t even get a little respect from him.

Moreover, the lady was always planning to take my dowry. I saw clearly the true face of the Jingyang Marquis' Mansion and it was necessary for me to stop the loss in time.

But it’s different for Her Majesty. For so many years, Her Majesty has firmly sat on the throne of the Empress.

The Emperor also respects you very much. You have enjoyed all the glory and wealth in the world, but of course you must also bear the corresponding responsibilities.

The emperor is not just your emperor, he is also the emperor of everyone in the world.

To put it bluntly, when the Queen Mother married the Emperor, she should have thought that there would be many women in his harem in the future.

If you couldn't accept sharing a husband with other women at that time, you shouldn't have married the emperor.

People may not be satisfied, but they cannot be ungrateful.

My words today may have crossed the line, but they came from the heart. If I have offended the Queen, please forgive me."

The queen shook her head. It was because she felt that Lu Chenshuang was very insightful during the few days she had interacted with her in Shoukang Palace that she wanted her to come and comfort her.

To be honest, the emperor was really good to her. Although she had no children for all these years, she was able to sit firmly on the throne of the empress. This would not have been possible without the emperor's support behind her.

No matter what the other concubines in the harem did behind the scenes, they all respected the queen on the surface.

So maybe she was really asking for too much.
