The Legend of Zhen Huan Reborn: Overthrowing Zhen Huan to Become the Queen Mother

Early the next morning,

"Lou Yong'er?" Jiang Ruyin raised her eyebrows. She had never heard of this person in her previous life.

"Let's go, it's time to pay our respects to the Queen."

…………

"Lou Yong'er?" Yu Ying'er frowned. The name sounded very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it.

"Hmph! Another bitch trying to seduce the Emperor. She'll be abandoned in a few days." Yu Ying'er pushed Hua Sui away impatiently. "Go away! You're hurting me! That's all. You can't be there later than Lou Yong'er."

Jingren Palace,

Lou Yong'er arrived earlier than Yu Ying'er had expected. She was already standing by the main hall of Jingren Palace waiting, with her brows lowered and her face submissive, looking very contented.

After everyone was seated, Lou Yong'er bowed deeply. The Queen smiled and called out to them, introducing them. "Quickly stand up. This is the Emperor's newly appointed Consort Lou. She used to work at Shoukang Palace. By chance, she saved Concubine Shen. From now on, we are all sisters."

Lou Yong'er lowered his eyes, very respectful.

The concubines were speechless. They had just been chattering about how Lou Yong'er caught the emperor's eye.

Zhen Huan's face looked very bad. As one of the people present and a recently "famous" figure, she received special attention from all the concubines.

Concubine Qi looked at her with disdain and muttered, "You're not as pretty as I was when I was young."

It was called a whisper, but it was infinitely amplified in the quiet room.

Concubine Hua rolled her eyes at Concubine Qi and said, "Since you are no longer young, there is no need to talk about it all the time."

Jiang Ruyin saw Lou Yong'er lowering her head, but the corners of her mouth curled up quickly.

Jingpin pondered for a moment and asked, "The hairpin on Lady Lou's head looks very nice, but the jade seems to be very rare. I can't even tell what it is made of."

Concubine Hua took a quick look and sneered, "It's just a carnelian hairpin. I thought it was something rare. Jingpin, you used to be a princess in my room. When have I ever used something like this? It's normal that you don't recognize it."

Jingpin forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Empress Huafei, for clearing up my confusion."

Lou Yong'er seemed oblivious. She touched the tassel of the hairpin and smiled shyly, "This red chalcedony lantern hairpin was given to me by the Emperor. He said I look very good in red."

The answer was irrelevant to the question, but it solved all the difficulties. Jiang Ruyin suddenly realized.

Zhen Huan looked at Lou Yong'er seriously. Noticing her gaze, Lou Yong'er looked back at Zhen Huan and smiled slightly.

Zhen Huan withdrew her gaze and was no longer so disgusted with Lou Yong'er.

Yu Ying'er sat opposite Lou Yong'er, staring at her fiercely. Seeing that Lou Yong'er ignored her and instead stared at Zhen Huan and smiled, Yu Ying'er twisted her handkerchief and glared at her.

The Queen gestured towards Jianqiu and said, "When I was pregnant with the eldest prince, I was given a ruby ​​and pomegranate hairpin. It's perfect for you."

Jianqiu quickly presented a tray with a carved pomegranate hairpin in a brocade box on it. It sparkled in the sunlight and was truly beautiful.

Lou Yong'er also stared at it with her eyes wide open, her little face flushed as she looked at the Queen, "It's so beautiful! I will definitely keep it well!"

Everyone dispersed, and Lou Yong'er held the brocade box, walking silently all the way.

Changchun Palace where Lou Yong'er lived was separated from Jingren Palace by Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace, but due to the palace rules, she could not cross the palace, so she had to go around through the Imperial Garden.

Yu Ying'er was the first to stand guard in the corridor next to Zhongcui Palace. Lou Yong'er saw her but did not look away.

Yu Ying'er glared, ran over with the sound of "clattering" on the bottom of the flowerpot, and reached out to grab Lou Yong'er's clothes.

A hint of impatience flashed in Lou Yong'er's eyes, and she shook off Yu Ying'er's hand without any hesitation.

Yu Ying'er was stunned for a moment, then immediately shouted angrily, "How dare you, a newly appointed promise, ignore me? Don't you know how to greet me properly?"

Lou Yong'er sneered, "Is that how noble you are?"

Yu Ying'er snorted, "I served the Emperor before you did, so my seniority is naturally higher than yours, and I deserve your courtesy."

Lou Yong'er's eyes were filled with disdain, staring at Yu Ying'er as if she were looking at a dead person. "This harem doesn't judge status by position. Whoever the emperor favors is noble. Is this what I promised you?"

!

How did she know!

Yu Ying'er was surprised. When she said this, Lou Yong'er didn't even know where he was working as a laborer!

Could it be the Emperor...

After all, Yu Ying'er had only been serving the emperor for a short time and knew nothing about his temper. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She retreated again and again, and finally fled in panic.

Looking at Yu Ying'er running away, Lou Yong'er sneered.

The palace maid beside her looked at Lou Yong'er in surprise, but quickly regained her composure.

Fortunately, my new master has a good temper.

Lou Yong'er glanced at her and was very satisfied with her tact.

"Your name is Lan Li. Where did you work before?" Lou Yong'er asked casually as she walked forward.

"I was originally an embroiderer in the weaving department, but later I injured my hand and could only work as an assistant. I have an elderly mother and a younger brother at home, and my monthly salary is too low to support my family, so I asked the housekeeper to work somewhere else, and then I came to you, young lady." Lan Li told the truth calmly.

“…Is that so?” Lou Yonger seemed to be thinking about something.

It's purely for money, but I have a younger brother at home, so I don't want to be a brother-supporting demon...
