Everyone in my harem is talented

"I have met the Empress Dowager and Concubine Zhen. May the Empress be blessed with good health."

The wife of Marquis Cheng'en brought Lu Rongniang and Lu Liniang into the palace to attend the funeral of Crown Prince Zhaohui.

The three men knelt with the crowd for a whole day. When they were about to be driven out of the palace, they were summoned by Empress Dowager Lu.

The wife of Marquis Cheng'en had no choice but to force herself to move her two sisters to Ci'an Palace on her trembling legs.

Attending a funeral was tiring in itself, and she didn't want to bring anyone else along, but she never expected that her old maid would come true.

Yesterday, when the wife of Marquis Cheng'en went to see Marquis Cheng'en, the two sisters Lu Rongniang and Lu Li'niang were already waiting there, saying that they wanted to go to the palace together. Seeing that Marquis Cheng'en had been convinced, they were too lazy to object.

Don't have any wishful thinking, but there's no point in being restless.

On that day, all the ladies outside the court knelt in the crowd. Not only could they not have any contact with His Majesty, but it was also impossible for them to find an excuse to leave for a while.

She also responsibly kept her spirits up and stared at the two sisters, not allowing them to leave her sight.

The wife of Marquis Cheng'en had already reminded them of various precautions.

Including when going out, you are only allowed to drink two sips of light salt water and a mouthful of dry food, Lady Cheng'en Hou recalled with a proper expression on her face.

"Get up." Queen Mother Lu showed a kind smile on her face.

"Mother, two sisters, there's no need to be so polite." Lu Xinyin stood up from her seat beside the empress dowager and said softly.

"Why call me Empress Dowager? You should call me Aunt." Empress Dowager Lu said pretending to be displeased.

"Yes, aunt."

The two sisters Lu Rongniang and Lu Liniang answered in unison, one was reserved and cautious, the other was bold and confident. They looked 50% similar, but their temperaments were extremely distinct.

"I got married early, when Rong Niang and Li Niang were not yet born.

Even when Rong Niang and Li Niang were born, I was trapped in the East Palace and couldn't get out. I could only ask people to send gifts.

Your dear mother is in poor health and has not brought you to see me for so many years.

I have been the Queen Mother for many years, and you have been married for many years.

This is the first time I have seen you two, you are so beautiful! Especially Li Niang, she has an outstanding temperament. I like generous and cheerful girls the most.

I heard that Li Niang’s husband has passed away. Have you ever thought about remarrying?

You only have a five-year-old daughter. When she gets old, she will have no one to rely on.

If you want to remarry, I will make the decision for you and issue an imperial decree granting you marriage to save your face."

Lu Rongniang stood aside in a daze, looking very uncomfortable, which made Lu Liniang stand out even more.

"Thank you, aunt, for your kindness. Li Niang does not want to remarry.

My father taught us from a young age that a minister or a wife must be faithful to her husband.

Although my husband has passed away for three years, he is still with me in my heart.

Li Niang wants to remain chaste for him forever."

Keep chastity? What chastity? She didn't even know that short-lived guy.

She had to say something nice, and then have a tragic love affair with the emperor's cousin. She would then be moved and slowly let go of the short-lived husband in her heart. This was the normal development.

Lu Li'niang secretly glanced at Empress Dowager Lu's expression.

Why does it feel so wrong? Not only is Empress Dowager Lu not moved, her expression seems a little stiff. This is not right.

She secretly glanced at Lu Xinyin's expression again, but didn't see any changes.

"Since our Li Niang has such a loyal ambition, I can't be a bad guy. You can keep it if you want."

"It's getting late. The palace gates will be locked soon, right? I'm tired. You guys can talk to Xiyin for a while. It's almost time to leave the palace. Xiyin, please take care of yourself."

Queen Mother Lu rubbed her eyebrows, her face full of fatigue.

"Yes, aunt."

The group walked out in silence.

"Sister Xiyin, we sisters haven't seen each other for a long time. You have changed a lot!" Lu Liniang suddenly leaned forward and asked tentatively.

All her plans today were ruined. Lady Cheng'en held them tightly and did not give them any chance to leave.

Her sister is so stupid that she can't even protect her, and she still wants to be the wife of the country? It's faster to dream.

She didn’t know when she would be able to enter the palace next time. No, she had to stay. Only by staying would she have a chance.

How did Wang Zhi, the mother of Emperor Wu of Han, become the empress in history? It's so annoying. It seems like it was Wang Zhi's mother who sent her into the palace.

Lu Li'niang secretly glanced at the wife of Marquis Cheng'en. Looking at the face of this stepmother, she could not be relied on at all.

The wife of Marquis Cheng'en felt a little unhappy when she heard the way Lu Liniang called her daughter and the tone of her voice, but she did not say anything because she wanted to see if her daughter had made any progress after entering the palace.

"Second sister, you should respectfully address me as Lady Zhenpin, otherwise if others hear us, they will say that we in the Cheng'en Marquisate are shallow and don't know the rules.

The rules in this palace are very strict. If we are not careful, we will break taboos. We should all be careful in what we say and do.

I still remember that I was still young and my second sister got married.

My second sister would come back to the mansion during the New Year holidays, but she would always stay for a while before leaving. Not only did my second sister feel that I had changed,

I also think that my second sister has become much bolder and more outspoken.

But the elder sister is still the same as always, there is no change."

There were no outsiders in this group, so the matter of addressing depended entirely on the parties involved. The person involved, Lu Xinyin, inexplicably disliked her eccentric second sister, Lu Liniang, so she brought her up for a lecture.

The wife of Marquis Cheng'en was very satisfied with Lu Xinyin's reaction. Instead of feeling that she was being aggressive, she felt very relieved.

"It's Concubine Zhen, I know. In my second sister's heart, we will always be sisters connected by blood. My second sister misses you very much, so she blurted out a somewhat intimate name. I will never do this in front of others. I swear, I will not bring shame to the Cheng'en Marquisate."

Lu Li Niang quietly rolled her eyes in her heart, thinking that this feudal antique was extremely boring. Everyone is equal, don't you know? She already called me the Queen Mother Aunt, but she couldn't call me sister? She was really good at bragging and raising her own status.

"Mother, let me take you back. You must be very tired after kneeling for the funeral ceremony all day. Next time, mother, please come to the palace to chat with me and the Queen Mother, okay?"

Lu Xinyin just smiled and nodded, then turned to his mother, Lady Cheng'en Hou.

"it is good."

When Lu Liniang heard this, she was almost anxious to death. She hadn't met the emperor yet and couldn't go back so soon!

She secretly pinched Lü Rongniang, who looked embarrassed, but still stepped forward and said, "Empress Zhen, can we take the route to the Imperial Garden? I heard that there are many exotic flowers and plants in the Imperial Garden that are not found outside the palace. I want to go and see them. Is that ok? It's not easy for us sisters to go to the palace."

Lu Xinyin frowned and said, "There is still time, but all the colorful flowers in the Imperial Garden have been put away, leaving only some white flowers. Besides, I think you should go back early today."

She heard that Qin Zhi was furious at today's funeral and punished several officials who were disrespectful to Crown Prince Zhaohui. It would not be a good thing if she accidentally ran into His Majesty in the Imperial Garden at this time.

A few days ago, Concubine Li Yan Shuer was stripped of her title and demoted to a concubine.

All the ladies in the inner court had been punished, but this lady outside the palace was still staying in the palace admiring the flowers and strolling around. She was afraid that her poor old father would be implicated innocently.

"Sister, since Concubine Zhen has said so, how about we go to the palace and talk to Concubine Zhen after she gets pregnant?" Lu Liniang held Lu Rongniang's hand and raised an understanding smile.

"it is good."

After hearing Lu Xinyin's answer, Lu Liniang took a few steps forward, pretending that her eyes went dark and she was exhausted, and then fainted in Lu Rongniang's arms. No matter how the wife of Marquis Cheng'en pinched her philtrum, she refused to get up.
