Chapter 294 The First One to Be Favored by the Emperor
"Yes."
Zuo Qianrou knelt on the ground, her brows slightly frowned, not understanding why Emperor Yuanwu suddenly brought up this at this time.
Wasn't he the one who picked her personally in yesterday's talent show?
Is it possible that she doesn't even know who her father is?
"I heard that your father is on good terms with General Lu. Is that true?" Emperor Yuanwu's eyes brightened.
General Lu?
Zuo Qianrou felt a chill down her spine.
For a moment, I couldn't understand what Emperor Yuanwu meant.
"I have been staying in my boudoir all year round, so I don't know what my father is doing in the court." Zuo Qianrou's last tone trembled slightly because of fear.
"I don't know?" Emperor Yuanwu seemed to not believe this answer. "Then your father originally wanted to marry you to General Lu's second son, Lu Zhaofeng. Do you know about this?"
Zuo Qianrou suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
This matter was only mentioned accidentally by his father and General Lu when they were drinking.
He did not come to propose marriage.
They were the only two drinking at the time.
No one else knows how Emperor Yuanwu knew this.
Could it be that this General Lu or Lu Zhaofeng told him?
Impossible, impossible.
Zuo Qianrou quickly rejected this idea in her mind.
Now she has been selected to enter the palace.
If they told Emperor Yuanwu about this.
Wouldn't that just bring trouble upon yourself for no reason?
Besides, she had never met Lu Zhaofeng before.
He would never fall in love at first sight with her portrait.
Ask Emperor Yuanwu to grant him marriage before he enters the palace.
This is too ridiculous.
But Emperor Yuanwu actually asked.
This means that he already had sufficient evidence.
"It is true, but my father and General Lu mentioned it casually after they were drunk. They never actually came to propose marriage, and I have never met General Lu Zhaofeng." Zuo Qianrou answered truthfully.
Her frankness finally eased Emperor Yuanwu's expression a little: "You are willing to tell the truth."
"I dare not deceive the emperor." Zuo Qianrou said lightly.
"Okay, stop kneeling there. It's getting late. Come and help me change my clothes."
Emperor Yuanwu sat up straight after he finished speaking: "I have to attend the court early tomorrow morning."
"Yes!" Zuo Qianrou said softly.
-
The next morning.
Emperor Yuanwu had just left.
The chief steward of the Imperial Household Department, accompanied by maids, eunuchs and a large number of rewards, walked into Qingfeng Garden in a mighty procession.
"Congratulations to the empress, congratulations to the empress."
"Your Highness is the first of these nuns to receive the Emperor's favor."
"These are all prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Your Majesty. It is a token of my appreciation. Please accept them."
"Although the queen has not yet received the emperor's reward, she has already explained it to the family as soon as she found Eunuch Jixiang."
"All these rewards are given according to the position of concubine."
Concubine position?
Zuo Qianrou's eyes lit up, filled with joy that was difficult to conceal.
When Emperor Yuanwu mentioned Lu Zhaofeng yesterday.
She thought the emperor was going to punish her.
But I didn't expect to receive such a generous reward.
"Thank you so much for taking the trouble to come here in person." Zuo Qianrou leaned against the dowry maid behind her and winked at her.
After they exchanged their coins, they took out a few pieces of silver from their purses and handed them to the head steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs: "Your Highness has just arrived. I will have to trouble you to give us more advice in the future."
"Okay, okay." The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs weighed the silver in his hand, and his mouth was full of joy: "But when your majesty becomes successful in the future, don't forget me."
"Thank you, eunuch." Zuo Qianrou was humble and polite.
