The maid told such shocking news as soon as she entered the room. Everyone in the room was shocked. One of the maids in the room even let out a low cry.
It was not announced that Xu Gucheng was entering the palace, nor was it announced that Lu was entering the palace, but the promise was announced!
Even if Xu Pingyi or Xu Gulei enter the palace, it is more acceptable than entering the palace with a promise. After all, one of them is good at carving jade and the other is good at ordering tea. They are both capable.
Xu Nuo was moved in her heart after hearing this. Xiao Yuan had just said yesterday that if a noble person invited her to stay in the palace for a while, she must find an excuse to leave early. She was still thinking about how any noble person would summon her to the palace so leisurely. Xiao Yuan really wanted to There were too many. I didn’t expect that the imperial edict would come in one day.
From this point of view, he is indeed Concubine Liu Defi's person, and he is an extremely capable confidant of Concubine Liu Defi, otherwise it would be impossible to know such a thing in advance.
Because she understood the content of the imperial edict, Xu Nuo was not excited or nervous. Instead, she was thinking about many other things. However, in order to match the reaction of the others in the room, she let go of her right hand and the wooden chopsticks fell to the ground with a clang.
Even if she dropped her chopsticks during the dinner, no one would accuse her of being rude. Instead, they would think in their hearts that this was the proper reaction to receive the imperial edict.
Mrs. Zhong hurriedly sent someone to pick up the chopsticks, encouraged Xunuo not to worry, and sent someone to Yingcheng Courtyard for questioning.
Only after Mrs. Zhong had discharged them did they reach the courtyard gate, when Nanny Li came in and asked Xu Nuo to go back and change her clothes.
After returning to Mingjin Pavilion, Xu Nuo quickly changed into bright clothes according to Lu's instructions, and the hair accessories on her head were also more elaborate. It is not the simple style usually used in homes. After just changing my clothes, I hurried out and walked through the courtyard veranda to the hanging flower door. Then he saw the eunuch standing at the gate holding the imperial edict.
Just watching from a distance, Xu Nuo had a vague feeling that the eunuch was a harsh and calculating person, from the way his eyebrows and mouth opened and closed when speaking.
As expected, the eunuch complained that the speed of the promise was too slow, which made him feel a cold wind. His tone was contemptuous and disdainful, scolding Mrs. Lu for not educating her daughter well.
If he knew that he would be in Xu Nuo's hands in the future, he would definitely not treat Lu with this attitude today.
The family accepted the imperial edict with trepidation. Mrs. Lu asked Grandma Li to give the eunuch a big red envelope, and then sent the giant Buddha away.
After returning to the house, the whole family gathered around Xu. Discussing the matter of her entering the palace tomorrow to stay with Concubine Liu Def, Lu even wanted to personally teach her the etiquette of making promises.
After the excitement died down, Xu Gucheng called Xu Nuo to the study and sat down first. Then he asked in an extremely calm voice: "Liu Niang. From what you have seen, is it the official's intention to announce your entry into the palace, or is it Liu Defi's intention?"
He really didn't expect such a situation to happen. Concubine Liu Defi just casually said that she wanted to try Suhang's tea art, but the emperor actually asked Liu Niang to come into the palace and order tea for her.
Liu Niang really made a splash last time at Prince Ning's Mansion. Only her chess, calligraphy and painting skills were not shown, and the other three items were enough to be praised, but there was no need for the emperor to specifically announce Liu Niang's entry into the palace.
There must be some other purpose. Whether it is the emperor or Concubine Liu Def.
Thinking that the noble man might have recruited Liu Niang into the palace for his own benefit, Xu Gucheng's heart sank. His face was calm and composed, as peaceful and elegant as before.
"Haier once had a relationship with Concubine Liu Def. I think it was she who let him into the palace. He will try his best to order tea for Concubine Liu Def." Xu Nuo sat opposite Xu Gucheng, with his hands on his knees and a calm expression on his face.
Xu Gucheng nodded. He just asked Liu Niang to know her duty and not to think wrongly. Since Liu Niang is going to enter the palace, she must be smarter in every aspect and have one more pair of eyes and one more pair of ears.
"Okay, do you know what to do after entering the palace?"
"My daughter doesn't know, but she must speak less and listen less, and she must not tell lies." In a place like the palace, it is useless to just speak less, and listen less. You must not listen to things that you shouldn't hear.
"After entering the palace, you must be smart and don't take the initiative to conflict with any nobles. Of course, if someone comes to deceive you, don't wrong yourself too much. If something happens, dad will try his best to deal with it for you." Xu Gucheng gave Xu Nuo instructions. After these things, he finally said this. As he spoke, he looked down at Xu Nuo, with warmth in his eyes.
Xu Nuo was already used to the sense of security brought by Xu Gucheng, but he was still moved by it and nodded obediently.
She promised to accept all the love and care given by her father, but she would not do anything that required Xu Gucheng to deal with it very hard.
You cannot bring maids into the palace, but you can bring a change of clothes. Chuntang attaches great importance to and is extremely cautious about promising to enter the palace. After returning to the house, she did not even have time to eat lunch, so she hurriedly took all the clothes in the promised clothes cage I turned it out and carefully matched four sets of changes of clothes to prepare for the promise.
Xu Nuo looked at the big package packed by Chuntang, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart, if she only came back after one day, would she let down Chuntang's good intentions?
That afternoon and evening, the Xu family was in a hurry.
At night, Xu Nuo lay in bed and thought about Concubine Liu Def announcing her entry into the palace.
Drinking tea and so on are just a pretense, and it is more likely related to Concubine Liu Defi taking the position of queen. Otherwise, in such an important period, there is really no need to announce that a young lady like her has entered the palace to cause chaos.
At the Duke's Mansion, Lu Erniang has found out the cause and effect of what happened during Princess Sun's birthday.
One of her roommate's sisters-in-law, out of jealousy, took advantage of the convenience of being in Qian's house and bribed the people in the kitchen to exchange Guo's snacks with the promised ones on the day of Mrs. Sun's birthday.
A lady in another room of the Qian family had contacted Guo as early as when the Qian family posted a message inviting the Wang family to a banquet. They negotiated to make Lv Erniang suffer some hardships and used the money to warm her brother's house. The maid passed a packet of peanut powder to Guo from her purse.
Mrs. Guo didn't know what Mrs. Qian was doing. She was so shocked when she opened the purse that the maid sent her. She almost died from eating peanuts when she was a child. She remembered it very clearly, but when she thought of her past few days, she almost died. After suffering at home for many years, Lu Erniang was enjoying the glory of being the mistress of the Qian family. She was really jealous and unwilling, so she pinched some peanut powder and put it on the smallest piece of snack, and then ate the snack.
Guo wanted to embarrass Lu Erniang. Eating snacks with peanut powder made the originally graceful and flexible voice dry and dry, and there was no way it could go back to that.
Years later she recalled her impulsive decision. She wanted to fight the person who gave her the advice, and she was even more jealous of Lu Erniang.
Concubine Sun learned what had happened from Lu Erniang's mouth, and angrily smashed the crutch down directly on Qian Nuan's body.
Someone actually used her favorite snacks to plot against her favorite grandson-in-law. She really couldn't bear it and must punish the two grandson-in-laws.
Qian Nuan was hit hard and couldn't talk back. Obediently, he picked up the crutch that rolled on the ground and gave it to Mrs. Sun: "Grandma, your hand slipped just now. You have to be careful in the future so as not to hurt yourself."
Concubine Sun glared at Qian Nuan and said with resentment: "Your daughter-in-law is so good, and she has shared so many household chores for your mother in the past few years. You don't protect her well. Let others trip her up, let others What did you do to plot against her?"
Qian Nuan was respected outside and had a high status in the Qian family. Only in front of his grandmother would he behave like this obediently and take a beating.
"Grandma, isn't your grandson-in-law just standing here? Don't be angry, she is so smart. She won't be plotted, don't worry."
"She is smart because she is smart. I asked you to drive away those people who are deliberately trying to make things difficult for her. Do you understand?" As she spoke, Mrs. Sun picked up the crutch and threw it at Qian Nuan.
Qian Nuan didn't hide either, just stayed like this. You didn't hint at anything just now. How could I know what you wanted to do? You go ahead and fight, then it won’t be you and your precious grandson-in-law who will feel bad for you.
Only then did Lu Erniang speak: "Grandma, please let him go. He is in the front yard and really doesn't understand the affairs of the inner yard."
Concubine Sun stopped immediately when she reached the stage. When she turned to look at Lu Erniang, the anger on her face completely disappeared.
The three of them talked for a while, and then Mrs. Sun asked Lu Erniang to bring the two troublesome grandsons and their husbands to her room, so that she could give them a good beating.
The next day, Xu Nuo woke up early as usual. Listening to the sounds of maids and women walking around outside, she mentally reviewed all the rules for entering the palace that Lu had told her yesterday. After confirming that she had mastered them all, she stood up.
After dressing up carefully, Xu Nuo got on the carriage sent by the palace.
Xu Gucheng had not returned from the court, and Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Zhong were seeing each other off outside the door.
The journey into the palace was inexplicably peaceful, and no accidents occurred. Xu promised to meet Liu Defei.
"Liu Niang of the Xu family has met Concubine Liu Defi." Xu Nuo saluted with the most standard posture.
"Well, raise your head and let me take a look." Today, Concubine Liu Defi wore a pink cross-collar short coat embroidered with crabapples, a yellow eight-piece long skirt, and her headdress was made of exquisite gold steps and gold combs. She wore very light makeup on her face. But you can't see any spots, which shows the meticulous care.
Xu Nuo raised his head, but thought in his heart that these words were a bit like those used when choosing a palace maid.
Concubine Liu seemed to be very satisfied with Xu Nuo's face and nodded: "I am very similar to your mother, but my temperament is more like that of the Qian family's wife."
The wife of the Qian family in her mouth was Lu Erniang.
Xu Nuo smiled but didn't answer.
Liu Defei thought Xu Nuo was nervous or shy, so she waved her hand and asked someone to lead her to her place of stay.
Xu Nuo went to the place Liu Defi prepared for her and found that the house was fully equipped. She suddenly realized that Liu Defi had plans to let her stay for a long time.
Xiao Yuan asked her to get away early, so how should she talk to Concubine Liu Def about this?
Thinking about it in her mind, she asked the palace maid who brought her here: "I wonder how many days I need to stay here?"
"I don't know, if you have any questions, you can ask Concubine De." The palace lady looked like she didn't know what to ask, and she was obviously not prepared to answer any questions.
Xu Nuo nodded, and after finishing lunch, he went to find Concubine Liu Def.
When she passed by, Concubine Liu Defi was enjoying herself.
She stood outside the door and waited for Concubine Liu Defi's round to end before the palace maid went to Tongbao before she went in.
"I have some friendship with your mother, so I will call you Liu Niang." Liu Defei smiled and said to Xu Nuo.
Xu Nuo nodded in response and said nothing else. She made up her mind to be the gentle Xu Liu Niang in the palace who spoke less and listened less.
"What's wrong? Are you used to living here?"
"Very well, I just want to ask you why I want to order tea for you and how many times you need to order it."
There is no special set of tea sets in Concubine Liu Defi's house. It shows that she is not a tea person, so she uses tea soup once a day at most. The number of times she uses tea soup is almost the number of days Liu De Concubine wants to stay in the palace.
When Concubine Liu Defi heard what Xu Nuo said, her eyes became more serious. Xu Liu Niang had gained some wisdom from her mother.
"Let's talk tomorrow. You just entered the palace today, so you need to familiarize yourself with the environment first."
As soon as Concubine Liu Defi said this, Xu Nuo was even more certain that she wanted to keep herself in the palace, but what was the use of keeping herself?
Xiao Yuan asked her to get away early, so how should she talk to Concubine Liu Def about this?
Thinking about it in her mind, she asked the palace maid who brought her here: "I wonder how many days I need to stay here?"
"I don't know, if you have any questions, you can ask Concubine De." The palace lady looked like she didn't know what to ask, and she was obviously not prepared to answer any questions.

"Very well, I just want to ask you why I want to order tea for you and how many times you need to order it."
There was no special set of tea sets in Concubine Liu Defi's house, so she was not a tea lover, so she would use tea soup once a day at most. The number of times she used tea soup was almost the number of days Liu De Concubine wanted to stay in the palace.
When Concubine Liu Defi heard what Xu Nuo said, her eyes became more serious. Xu Liu Niang had gained some wisdom from her mother.
