The legitimate daughter brings disaster to the concubine! Seize the imperial power and the throne

Lu Jingning frowned and smiled at Shangguan Li: "Cousin Li, what do you have to say?"

Shangguan Li was flattered by the word "cousin" and immediately glanced at the nanny. The nanny had no intention of moving, but was frightened by Lu Jingning's shout of "Go away" and quickly stepped back.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Princess." Shangguan Li's face turned slightly red. She looked around nervously before she dared to speak to Lu Jingning: "I...regardless of whether Princess believes it or not, please don't drink alcohol or tea today, and don't leave anyone by your side."

Lu Jingning raised his eyebrows.

"Princess, don't ask so many questions. I just happened to hear something in the garden this afternoon."

"Why did cousin Li help me?"

Shangguan Li looked up and pointed at the crescent scar on her forehead: "Princess, have you forgotten that when I was seven years old, I fell off the rockery and it was you who asked the imperial physician to save my life."

At that time, everyone said that Shangguan Li was beyond saving and that they should prepare for his funeral. Lu Jingning personally went to invite Doctor Zhong from the Imperial Hospital.

Lu Jingning had a vague impression.

"Princess." Shangguan Li looked at the person behind her and reminded her again, "You must not go out alone."

After saying this, Shangguan Li left in a hurry.

The person walking towards him was Murong. She smiled at Lu Jingning gently and kindly, as if nothing unpleasant had happened before.

"Why don't you come in and sit down?"

Lu Jingning looked at the fake smile on Murong's face, wishing she could break it. Thinking about what would happen next, she smiled slightly and said, "Let's go in now."

The two of them walked in together. There were already quite a few people gathered in the hall, the most conspicuous among them were three young men in luxurious clothes.

They surrounded the old lady and talked to her. The old lady had a smile on her face all the time and looked at everyone with loving care.

Lu Jingning suddenly realized that as long as his grandson was present, the old lady would forgive Murong no matter what mistakes she made.

Perhaps because her mother died tragically in her previous life, the old lady is somewhat averse to suspicion.

"Aning!" The old lady smiled and waved at Lu Jingning, pointing at the three young men beside her and began to introduce them: "These are all your cousins."

Lu Jingning smiled faintly and nodded.

When the three of them saw Lu Jingning, they bowed and respectfully called her "Princess".

"Calling you princess is too polite. You are cousins, so just call each other cousin in private." said the old lady.

So the three of them called Lu Jingning "cousin".

In front of everyone, Lu Jingning did not refute, but just responded calmly.

"I haven't seen cousin Ning for a long time. It seems that you have grown a lot taller."

One of them came up to Lu Jingning and smiled at her.

Lu Jingning raised his eyebrows. It was Shangguan Yunzheng, the eldest son of Murong family!

All three were Murong's sons. The other two were twelve and eleven years old respectively, and only Shangguan Yunzheng was sixteen years old.

Lu Jingning has already confirmed that the person who was framed is Shangguan Yunzheng.

"Looking at Aning and Zheng'er together, they really are a perfect match. What a pity..." The old lady looked regretful.

The old lady also suggested that Lu Jingning marry Shangguan Yunzheng, but Lu Jingning was obsessed with Zhao Sui, so the marriage had to be cancelled.

After much difficulty, the two broke off the engagement, and she was betrothed to Bu Yan.

The old lady sighed, the two children were not destined to be together after all.

Murong smiled and stepped forward: "Brother Zheng knows that Aning likes cloud tea, so he specially got some. Everyone is here today, why don't we try it together?"

"That's fine. Dinner will take some time anyway." Concubine Wan agreed as she stepped into the room.

Without waiting for anyone to speak, Murong had already asked the maid to prepare tea.

Soon, several maids came in with tea and placed a cup in front of everyone. Lu Jingning sneered and pretended not to notice the eye contact between Murong and Shangguan Yunzheng.

In front of everyone, Lu Jingning took two sips of the tea and praised it highly: "It is really good tea!"

When Murong saw her drink the tea, a look of delight flashed across her face, and she glanced at Shangguan Yunzheng: "Brother Zheng, didn't you say you had prepared something else?"

Shangguan Yunzheng understood and said with a smile, "Grandma, I'll get ready right away."

"Okay!" The old lady smiled.

Several people continued chatting while sitting on chairs. At this time, a maid came over to serve tea. Her hand suddenly shook, and the tea was about to spill onto Lu Jingning's skirt, but Xue Yuan blocked it with her quick eyes and hands.

pat!

The sound of the teacup falling to the ground made the room silent for a moment.

"Why are you so impatient? Hurry up and serve tea to the princess again!" Murong sneered.

The maid nodded hurriedly.

Lu Jingning waved his hand and said, "Although this tea is good, you can't have too much. Aunt, don't blame the maid for today's family dinner."

Murong pursed her lips and said angrily, "Aning is right."

The plan to dirty Lu Jingning's clothes failed. If he did it again, it would be too deliberate. Murong was secretly a little anxious.
