The maidservant is too charming. I want to help her become the queen.

However, the scene in Fengyi Palace was completely opposite to that in Yinglan Pavilion.

Before night fell, the Queen had already received a message that Li Xuansheng would come to Fengyi Palace to have dinner with her.

At this moment, the dining table in Fengyi Palace was filled with extremely exquisite dishes.

"Your Majesty has been tired all day, so I specially asked the imperial kitchen to make wolfberry, lotus root and old duck soup, which is just right for your Majesty to replenish his body."

The queen smiled gently, picked up a soup bowl, and was about to stand up to scoop soup for Li Xuansheng herself.

Li Xuansheng grabbed the queen's arm.

"You've been very hard during your pregnancy, just let the servants do these things."

He was concerned about the dragon fetus in the queen's belly, his eyes full of tenderness and pity.

Li Xuansheng took a few bites of the dishes that the queen specially prepared for him and said casually:

"I heard from Imperial Doctor Dou that Concubine Ming fainted at your place this morning."

The queen was stunned. She thought Li Xuansheng was going to blame her, so she quickly explained to him:

"I don't know why, but Sister Lu suddenly fainted in my palace, so I quickly called Doctor Dou to treat her."

"Your Majesty, how is Sister Lu doing now?"

The Queen pretended to ask about Lu Qingqing's physical condition, but in fact she was testing Li Xuansheng's attitude.

"She's all right."

"I am just worried that you might have a miscarriage. You are pregnant, and Concubine Ming suddenly fainted in your palace. You must have been scared, right?"

The queen was moved by Li Xuansheng's care. Although she felt a little guilty, she still threw herself into Li Xuansheng's arms with a shy face.

"I am fine, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

After dinner, Li Xuansheng stayed in Fengyi Palace for a while before leaving.

After he left, Ayun served a bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine to the queen and waited for her to drink it.

She asked softly, "I heard that the emperor got very angry at Yinglan Pavilion and even kicked and injured Ming Guiren's personal maid."

"It seems that Lady Ming has completely fallen out of favor, right?"

The queen's lips curled up into a faint smile.

Although she didn't know why the emperor lost his temper with Lu Qingqing, she was sure that the emperor's heart was always on her side.

How could a maid who was born as a bed-warmer compare to the friendship between her and the emperor as childhood sweethearts?

The pregnancy-maintaining medicine was too bitter, so the queen picked up a candied fruit and gently put it in her mouth.

Since Li Xuansheng ascended the throne, she rarely took action personally against the concubines.

When Concubine Shu first came into favor, she was still nervous.

But as time went by, there was no movement in Concubine Shu's belly, so she was no longer a threat to the Queen.

The women in the harem fought for it, but her position as the empress was still unchallenged. Moreover, Li Xuansheng's first child was still in her belly.

The Queen told Ayun:

"Lu Qingqing is no longer useful."

"There is never a shortage of beautiful women in the harem. Ah Yun, help me keep an eye out and find someone to replace Lu Qingqing."

The queen thought that with Lu Qingqing's beautiful face, she could keep Li Xuansheng company for a while until she gave birth. But she didn't expect that she would have a falling out with the emperor after such a short time.

Lu Qingqing's experience is too shallow!

Just a beautiful fool with nothing but beauty!

In this case, there is really no need for her to use Lu Qingqing as her chess piece anymore.

A woman who is not favored and has no background is destined not to survive in the harem for long.

Just abandon it.

…………

During these days, Li Xuansheng indeed did not step into Yinglan Pavilion even once.

Before this, Lu Qingqing would have prepared some exquisite snacks and brought the food box to the Qianqing Palace to apologize to him and ask for peace.

But now she is calm and not panicked at all. She stays in the palace every day and concentrates on recuperating.

After she recovered, she replanned her strategy to win favor.

One day, Lu Qingqing asked Sanpang for the first time to find the four treasures of the study for her.

If these things were put aside, she would not even want to touch them. The pen, ink, paper and inkstone were ready, and she spread the paper with one hand and held the pen with the other.

After reviewing the past, she realized that the reason for her previous failure was that she simply regarded Li Xuansheng as a man and always subconsciously ignored his identity as an emperor.

In other words, she cannot treat Li Xuansheng as her partner, but must treat him as her client.

If Lu Qingqing wants to win the position of queen, she must make a comprehensive assessment and analysis of Li Xuansheng.

As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.

She held the brush clumsily and wrote down the details of Li Xuansheng one by one on the rice paper.

Name: Li Xuansheng

Sex: Male

Political outlook: Feudal monarchy

Appearance: He looks about 1 meters tall and weighs about 87 kilograms. He has a handsome face and a good figure.

character:……

When Lu Qingqing wrote here, the brush in her hand suddenly stopped.

The scenes of getting along with him appeared in her mind one after another. Lu Qingqing pondered for a long time and finally made up her mind to write down the following in the character column:

suspicious!

If Li Xuansheng hadn't been so suspicious, he wouldn't have misunderstood the matter of the contraceptive soup as her slander against the queen.

Perhaps, he had figured out his plan to make the queen faint in the palace?

Perhaps, he realized that the conversation between Erxi and Xiaotao was intentional?

So even if it was true that the queen forced her to drink the contraceptive soup, he would still doubt his own motives.

He really doesn't understand women's minds!

Are all the schemes of the women in the harem intended to frame others?

Can't it be for the sake of making yourself live more comfortably?

However, Lu Qingqing didn't have time to worry about these things now. She could only take care of herself and wait quietly for an opportunity.

After clarifying her goals, she continued with her fitness plan.

Not only do I do kettlebell swings every day, but I also add yoga, jogging, and some strength training.

In his spare time, he would also ask the female sisters of Xuguan for some martial arts techniques.

She gets up early and goes to bed early every day, and eats and drinks well.

Even if she heard some rumors, she didn't care at all.

The imperial kitchen still neglected her, and the food sent to Yinglan Pavilion every day was all rotten. Even so, she and the palace servants were able to be self-reliant and grow some fruits and vegetables in the backyard, so that she could eat fresh food every day.

These days, Li Xuansheng didn't come to see her, and she didn't take the initiative to look for Li Xuansheng.

The days without a man made Lu Qingqing live an extremely healthy and enjoyable life.

In addition, she carefully counted all the gold and silver jewelry on her body. Although it was not much, she still took out sixty taels of silver.

Erxi, Sanpang, and Xiaotao, twenty taels each.

After all, in this harem, the three of them are both his subordinates and his partners.

In the midst of hardship, they could not get enough food and drink, and because of her fall from favor, the three of them suffered the cold stares of other palace servants. Lu Qingqing felt really sorry.

It’s okay to treat yourself badly, but it’s not okay to treat your brothers badly!

One morning, Lu Qingqing got up to exercise as usual, but suddenly she felt a chill on her body.

She got up and went out into the backyard.

The edges of the leaves of the peach tree where she often took shelter from the heat in the summer had already shown signs of slight yellowing, and the vines of some fruits and vegetables that Sanpang had planted in the yard were also beginning to wither.

The breeze blew gently, and a few leaves fell slowly because they were not affected by the wind, making a rustling sound.

Lu Qingqing bent down to pick up a leaf, carefully observed the changes in the leaf veins, and then looked up at the blue sky.

The weather is getting cooler.

The autumn hunt is about to begin, right?

Lu Qingqing's eyes, as clear as autumn water, sank. She must seize this opportunity.
