Chapter 147 No One Asked Her
After saying this, the empress dowager turned to look at the nanny beside her, her eyes firm and kind, and she ordered in a serious tone: "Go quickly and get out the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum that I have treasured for a long time! Remember to be very careful and don't damage it at all. This is a rare treasure, rarely seen in the world!" After receiving the order, the nanny hurried away, not daring to delay for even a moment.
When Lu Yi heard this, a surge of emotions instantly rose in her heart. She couldn't help but burst into tears and was extremely moved. Then, she knelt on her knees without hesitation and kowtowed to express her deep respect and infinite gratitude to the Queen Mother. Every kowtow was full of sincerity and piety, as if she wanted to remember this kindness in her heart and never forget it.
After stepping out of the palace gate, Lu Yi tightly grasped the hard-earned Ganoderma lucidum in her hand, and ran towards the mansion with a quick and determined pace. At this moment, she was extremely anxious, and her mind was full of how to send this extremely precious Ganoderma lucidum to Shixuan as soon as possible. She knew that Shixuan was ill and urgently needed this product to recuperate and regain health. Therefore, she wanted to fly to his side immediately.
Finally returning to the mansion, Lu Yi was out of breath, but she didn't take a break and rushed straight to where Shixuan was. When she opened the door, she saw Zhan Shixuan sitting by the bed with an anxious look on his face, waiting for her return.
When Zhan Shixuan saw Lu Yi return safely, he immediately smiled with joy. That smile was as warm as the sunshine in spring, and as comforting as a rain after a long drought.
Lu Yi handed the Ganoderma lucidum to Zhan Shixuan and told him that it was a reward from the Queen Mother.
Zhan Shixuan took the Ganoderma lucidum and felt his mother's care and love for him, and his heart was filled with gratitude.
He decided to work harder to recover and live up to the expectations of his mother and Lu Yi.
A few months later, Zhan Shixuan's health finally recovered.
It just so happens that it is the annual Mid-Autumn Festival.
A palace banquet was held in the palace.
Zhan Shixuan and Lu Yi were both among those invited to the banquet.
August 15,
Lu Yi, dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes, walked into the palace with the handsome Zhan Shixuan to attend the grand banquet. The palace was brightly lit, with ribbons flying, and full of laughter and joy. Everyone held wine glasses and toasted the emperor sitting on the high throne, praying devoutly for the prosperity of the country and the peace of the people.
Zhan Shixuan took Lu Yi's hand and walked forward together. He bowed deeply to the emperor and said with tears of gratitude: "Your Majesty's grace is so great that I have no way to repay you. I can only do my best to serve the country!" The emperor smiled slightly to express his appreciation.
The banquet was getting better and better, and people were enjoying the delicious food. At this moment, a melodious music sounded, and a wonderful song and dance performance began on the stage. The dancers danced gracefully, like fairies descending from the earth, which was intoxicating. Lu Yi watched this beautiful dance intently, and her mood was particularly comfortable.
However, she accidentally caught a glimpse of the imperial concubine beside her, her eyes flickering and revealing an elusive expression, as if she was secretly planning something. Lu Yi's heart tightened, but she did not show it.
After a few glasses of wine, the emperor was in high spirits and suddenly announced that he would hold a poetry contest. Whoever stood out in the competition would receive a generous reward. This news excited the guests present, and everyone was eager to try and show off their skills.
With his quick wit and eloquent writing skills, he could compose one exquisite poem after another, which eventually won him the upper hand and everyone's praise.
Wanyin's eyes stayed on Zhan Shixuan without moving away. Seeing this, Aunt Fang couldn't help but sighed: "Master Zhan has achieved a lot at such a young age, and he is handsome and dignified. He will definitely have a bright future. The emperor originally intended to marry you to him, but who would have thought that Lu Yi would get you first. What a pity! You still regard her as your best friend." Hearing this, Wanyin's face instantly became gloomy.
If she had known in advance that Zhan Shixuan was such a talented, handsome and powerful man, she would have been willing to take the risk even though she knew she was going to bring good luck to the other party.
