Liu Yueya was not a person who suffered a loss. Later, she realized that Li Suqiu refused her due to lack of affection. After several quarrels, she finally got Li Suqiu to agree to change rooms.
During this period, Chu Xiu Niang watched the excitement several times and lamented that expensive gifts were not so easy to obtain. Didn’t this cost the price later?
However, compared to this truth, Lu Yunying discovered the advantages of Liu Yueya. Most of the beautiful ladies were cautious after entering the palace, trying not to attract people's attention for fear of making mistakes, and she was the same.
But Liu Yueya, who had just been taught a lesson by Nanny Feng, had forced her to change rooms. She turned around and dared to force Li Suqiu to switch rooms with her. She was not afraid of Nanny Feng teaching her another lesson. In fact, she did achieve this He accomplished his purpose and was not punished again.
Audacious and brainless?
No, from the fact that Liu Yueya was unwilling to change rooms at the beginning, and later after Chen Xingyue received praise, she was the first to take action and was very powerful. It seems that she is not a stupid person with a lot of money, but more like - can't afford to be early without profit. .
This person's bottom line is lower than most beautiful girls, but she is also flexible and discerning enough. If she can stay in this palace, regardless of whether she is favored or not, her life will definitely be good.
Lu Yunying also took this opportunity to reflect on herself. After entering the palace, she was indeed too reserved. Since she planned to retire in the harem and her goal was to be a concubine, she could not remain so cowardly and had to take the initiative.
The opportunity card gave her a lot of confidence and gave her the opportunity to take the initiative, but the opportunity card also showed that the opportunities it brought were uncertain, so Lu Yunying waited for a while, saved up, and once again drew a Wen Sheng Xiu. After the speech card (speaking is easier to be accepted by others), the opportunity card was used before leaving the palace on the third holiday.
During the previous two holidays, the first time people who did not dare to make a difference avoided the Imperial Garden. The second time because Chen Xingyue was driven away, Chu Xiu Niang and most of the beautiful women took the initiative to avoid the Imperial Garden. In this troubled place, this third time, no matter what, we must satisfy Chu Xiu Niang's wish to visit the garden.
The imperial garden is very large, so it’s not possible to go everywhere during the holiday. Fortunately, the palace maid Du Juan provided a good place to go.
It was almost the end of August, and the lotus flowers at Mingyue Lake were already the last batch. Few people went there without mentioning that she also had a familiar eunuch who was responsible for sweeping the flowers. If Lu Yunying and Chu Xiu Niang were willing, they could bring some. The lotus leaves and lotus pods are back.
There are many of these things, and they are not precious flowers and plants. If the show girls pick some and bring them back to enjoy, nothing will happen to them.
Lu Yunying took a fancy to Ren Shao.
Chu Xiu Niang took a fancy and brought a group back to enjoy them. Such things were not common in her home.
The two hit it off immediately and decided to go there to spend the holiday. The other beautiful ladies also went to their own places during the holiday, and no one paid attention to their actions.
The maid who was able to go to the Chuxiu Palace to serve the show ladies was indeed quite capable and well-connected. Li Gui, the eunuch who was cleaning the house at Mingyue Lake, had been guarding the lakeside early in the morning after receiving Du Juan's letter, and followed him not far or near. Taking them along a secluded but beautiful path, introducing the differences between flowers and plants out loud from time to time, and inadvertently saying a few words about the layout of the palace was a good sell.
Chu Xiu Niang did not intend to stay in the palace, and she only listened to Li Gui's words as a story, but Lu Yunying listened very seriously.
However, she was not very strong, so she walked for less than half an hour and decided to stay and rest when she reached a pavilion.
Chu Xiu Niang was very interested and was planning to follow Li Gui to pick some lotus leaves and lotus pods. Lu Yunying was indeed not interested in these. The two discussed it and finally she stayed to rest as she wished, while Chu Xiu Niang I will help her bring back some bright flowers.
Seeing Chu Xiu Niang slowly walking away, Lu Yunying felt relieved. This friend brought her a lot of comfort when she first entered the court. The opportunity was not good or bad. She actually didn't want to involve Chu Xiu Niang. Go in.
Just as I was thinking this, suddenly:
"Little Master Lu, is this Little Master Lu?"
A somewhat familiar yet unfamiliar voice sounded. Lu Yunying turned her head and was surprised:
"Xueyan? Why are you here?"
"Where's Sydney, is she okay?"
As soon as Lu Yunying's voice fell, Xue Yan suddenly burst into tears. The palace rules were strict and they, the maids, were not allowed to cry in front of their master, but she couldn't help it.
The little girl in her early ten years still had some baby fat on her cheeks when we last saw her. She was very shy and introverted, but now most of the baby fat has been reduced, making her eyes look a bit scary.
Lu Yunying hesitated, then took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to her, but Xue Yan did not accept it. Instead, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lu Yunying, begging her to save Xue Li.
Lu Yunying heard what happened to Xue Li from her mouth. Because she shouldered the responsibility, except for Xue Li, Xue Yan who helped that day was not implicated, but the two of them were still driven away.
In order to be able to enter the Chuxiu Palace and serve her possible future master, Xue Li spent a lot of money on things. Now that she was kicked out and injured, she almost spent all their savings asking a medical woman to help her prescribe medicine and buy medicinal materials. Fortunately, they were good people, and the palace maids and eunuchs who had a good relationship with them all helped. Fortunately, Xue Li struggled to survive.
But he was still alive, and his body had lost most of its vitality due to the severe injury. A few days ago, Xue Li fell ill again for no apparent reason and had a fever for several days in a row.
"They said if my sister's fever doesn't go away, they will move her away."
"But if I leave, no one will treat Sister Xueyan, and she will die."
But they have no money and no connections. They want to delay time. No, even if they want to ask for treatment, they have no choice but to wait for death.
This time Xue Li bumped into Lu Yunying and borrowed money from a palace maid she was familiar with, which was obviously not enough, otherwise she wouldn't have asked Lu Yunying, whom she was not familiar with, and after all, it was just a chance.
Lu Yunying was stunned when she heard the news. She didn't expect that Xue Li would end so tragically, with almost everyone dead. At that time, she wanted to help, but she didn't dare to make a big deal out of it, so she left it alone.
In the final analysis, it was calculated in my heart. There was no need to make Aunt Feng unhappy for the palace maid who had been with him for less than two days, but, but... Lu Yunying pushed down the bracelet on her hand, thought about it and took it off again and inserted it on her temples. The hairpin beside him and several purses intended to be used as rewards for the palace people were stuffed into Xue Yan's hands.
Xue Yan hesitated for a moment, but accepted it.
"Many, thank you very much, little master. I have nothing to repay, I can only work like a cow or a horse..."
"You don't need to be a cow or a horse anymore. I'm from an average family, so I can only help so much."
Lu Yunying found it funny. The person in front of her was still a minor. I hope she could live well and grow up. Of course, she couldn't say this:
"And your sister Xueli also repaid this favor."
"The previous water chestnut cake tasted pretty good."
Xue Yan looked stunned.
Of course she knew Ma Tisu. As soon as she entered the palace, she was assigned to work in Xue Li. Since they were from the same hometown, their relationship naturally became close. Over time, they were like sisters.
Although Xue Li didn't tell her too much about her future plans, Xue Yan was not a fool and knew it. It's just that Xue Li seemed to have bad luck and met someone who was difficult to maintain.
At that time, when Xue Li paid more for an extra plate of pastries, she even mentioned it to her, saying that the relationship was not good at first, but if she continued to let it go, it would get worse. Ordinary palace maids like them could not afford to offend those noble masters. At this time, you need to take the initiative, be more attentive, and be more submissive. Most of the noble masters will not lower themselves to care about them.
Xue Yan remembers that she was still trying to get into trouble at the time, asking what she would do if she encountered someone who was narrow-minded. She saw that Sister Xue Li had a complicated expression at that time, and after a while she said she had no choice but to admit it.
But now...Does Little Master Lu know that the plate of horseshoe cake is to please Little Master Chen?
Feeling anxious and biting her lip, Xue Yan kowtowed heavily to Lu Yunying, turned around and left.
It wasn't until her figure disappeared that Lu Yunying finally came to his senses. Could it be that the opportunity stuck was Xue Yan? Want Xueyan to be loyal and devoted to him? It was too much to ask a minor to work for her, for which she paid eight taels of silver and two pieces of jewelry.
So this is a loss? No, no, no, it can't be calculated like this. If those two people can survive, it will be worth it.
Xue Yan walked quickly, and her mood was not so tense. Regardless of whether Little Master Lu knew it or not, at least Sister Xue Li could now seek medical advice and survive.
As for the bleeding from the wound that Lu Yunying had just kowtowed to, she didn't care at all, just wiped it with a handkerchief and ignored it.
But her hurried steps, bruised and bloody forehead were too conspicuous.
"Chen Fubao, look at that palace maid."
As we all know, His Majesty Su Min will randomly appear in every corner of the palace except the Yizheng Hall. He likes to watch and have fun, and he also likes to give people fun.
At this moment, he was standing in the pavilion on the rockery, looking down from a high position, and saw the snow geese at a glance.
"You're so happy even though you have a bruised forehead, tsk tsk tsk, do you think we should check it out?"
"I'll go check it out right now."
"I'm asking you whether you should investigate. I'm not asking you to make a decision for me."
Chen Fubao, the eunuch beside the emperor, knelt down on the spot:
"Slave, slave..."
"Forget it, since you like to check, then go and check. If you find it, tell me, and I will also see the excitement."
He said this as if Chen Fubao had great power, even more powerful than the emperor... This topic was quickly ignored, and Su Min turned to talk about other things:
"Where's your concubine? Didn't you say you were going to pick flowers? Why haven't you come back yet?"
"this......"
Chen Fubao couldn't answer again. After all, he had been serving the emperor. If he knew where the noble concubine was now and what she was doing, it would be a ghost.
"You disappoint me so much. Qingxi, you go and have a look."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Chen Qingxi was the godson adopted by Chen Fubao. Hearing this, he quickly pushed him down and trotted towards the direction where He Guibi left, without even looking at his master.
Seeing this, Chen Fubao, who was kneeling on the ground, gritted his teeth. Recently, His Majesty has become more and more interested in Qingxi.
It didn't take long for Chen Qingxi to come back, but he didn't come back alone. He brought a bunch of people with him. The concubines were not only the emperor's latest favorite, He Guifei, but also Zhen Zhaoyi.
"I think it's a coincidence."
Zhen Zhaoyi and Pingping Tingting bowed, stood up, walked towards Su Min, and then laughed:
"Not only did I meet Sister He, but I also heard from her that His Majesty is also here. I like the excitement, so I came here uninvited."
"How can my concubine come uninvited? I also like the excitement, and it is indeed a coincidence."
Su Min reached out and held Zhen Zhaoyi's hand and said:
"A few swans have broken out of their shells on Mingyue Lake in the past few days, and they haven't been named yet."
"Your Majesty, are you going to name the swan?"
Zhen Zhaoyi said, "His Majesty always likes to have fun and pay attention to some strange things. Everyone in the palace knows that, and she is very familiar with it. All she needs to do is follow His Majesty's words."
"My beloved, you understand me."
"Well, there are three of them in total, and you bump into them again. I have the final say. How about naming one of them Zhenzhen?"
Zhen Zhaoyi:......
Concubine He Gui was naturally very displeased when someone interfered with her. However, she was not as favored as Zhen Zhaoyi in terms of status, so she could only hold it back. Now that she heard His Majesty say this, it took her a long time to hold back her laughter.
But the shaking of his body caught the unexpected attention of His Majesty. He looked at He Guibi and said as if he just remembered:
"Oh, I almost forgot about my beloved concubine."
"Well, I won't favor one over the other. How about calling the second one He He?"
