"There's nothing extraordinary about it, except that my dad is Lu Kang."

Lu Churong realized a serious problem- she seemed to be unable to sleep anymore.

When she was in the palace, she was the daughter of Xingjiu, and when she was a child, she died, no one hurt or cared, others were living a life, she was a mixed life. Although the government also invited them to these sons and daughters, she was a person with no great ambitions, and unlike those sisters who wanted to become superiors, her only wish was to live comfortably. First survive in the palace, and then Lu Lao Ghost remembered her and married her like other concubines to a courtier who wanted to win over, and she had to live in someone else's backyard. Therefore, she was extremely slack in her studies, and slept until dawn every day, only to be late, fortunately, she had a sweet mouth, hugged the thighs of several sisters, and for many years, no one even sued her.

But now it was not possible, she could not sleep lazily, there was no master in the middle palace, and these concubines had to go to the empress dowager every day as usual. Although spring has begun, it still takes a lot of courage to emerge from the warm bed early in the morning. It wasn't until she entered the gate of the Corning Palace that Lu Churong was still not awake, or Miaosi secretly twisted her, and she took a breath of cold air, and Kankan raised her heavy eyelids.

"Don't lose your dignity in front of the empress, otherwise, you will just give the empress dowager a reason to make things difficult for you!"

Miaosi's worries are not unreasonable, since the ancient mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are difficult to get along with, and will not be avoided because you marry into the imperial family. After entering the main hall of Corning Palace, the others had already arrived one step ahead of her.

In addition to the three nobles who entered the palace with her, there were four others who were canonized last year, of which Tokugawa was the highest among them, sitting under the first place, teasing a snow-white Ryukyu cat.

"I've seen Princess De and all my sisters." There was no one in this room who was higher than her, and she only needed to salute Princess De.

Although I had seen her, but goodbye, Princess De was still a little stunned, and then smiled gently: "If you come one step late, you should let the empress dowager wait for you." "She had a good impression of Princess De, not for anything else, only because on that day in Jinlanxuan, she had enforced the law impartially!" The first time the concubine came to Corning Palace, some of them did not recognize the way. "I don't blame you, Hui Chun Yuan is indeed a little far away." Lady De is indeed a beautiful person with a kind heart!

As she was talking, Empress Jiang yawned and came out with the hand of the inner prisoner. It can be seen that she has specially dressed up in order to see the four daughters who have just entered the palace, although she is already the empress dowager, she still has charm, a crow's hair is black and shiny, and her head is greased with light.

As soon as she sat down on the main seat, the Ryukyu cat in Princess De's arms swooped down on the empress dowager's lap and rubbed her palm, looking flattering. "The concubines meet the empress dowager, and the empress dowager's wife Wanfu Jin'an." Princess De stood up and took the lead in saluting. "Let's all sit down," Empress Jiang lazily raised her eyelids, still a little sleepy, but the slightly provoked chin tip was a little tricky: "The Wailing Family is not an emperor, come to the morning and dusk to settle the province, and still do this dress for whom?" The women shivered, their heads hanging lower.

Lu Jiu pursed his lips and wanted to ask very much: What are you doing this dress? Except for Princess De and her Lu Jiu, each of them seemed to wear out the treasure at the bottom of the pressure box, and they didn't know what beauty contest they were going to participate in. Those who knew looked at her angrily at Lu Jiu: I haven't heard that there is a stunning beauty coming from the harem! Lu Jiu: I don't carry this pot!

Zheng Zheng was worried about his own thoughts, only to hear the empress dowager lazily ask, "Which is Lu Churong?!" "Empress Hui, concubine Lu Churong!" Lu Jiuteng stood up and looked at the first person with glowing eyes.

With this brittle sentence of hers, Len startled the empress dowager, and even dozed off. Looking at this woman with a slender figure and not being soft and self-flattering, the empress dowager opened her mouth for a while and did not say a word for half a day! Yesterday I didn't look closely, but today I took a closer look, but I couldn't help but get angry. Good one Jiangbei King! He actually sent a fox spirit into the palace, which was a clear sign that he was going to hollow out the emperor's body before he was willing! "Empress?" Princess De asked thoughtfully, "But the empress dowager thinks that there is something wrong with Sister Lu?" "What's wrong?" It's just better looking!

However, the Wai family had seen countless beautiful women in the former emperor's harem, but unfortunately, the beauty was beautiful, but few had a good ending! Lu Jiu didn't know: "Empress Dowager Niangniang said it wrong, right?" There are also people who are exceptions, aren't great beauties like you still Hong Fuqitian! "Huh? This..." The empress dowager was overjoyed and couldn't help but be angry: "The Wai family is indeed an exception!" But can you compare with the mourning family? "Also, concubines are content with the blessings of the empress dowager!" "You child!" The empress dowager's heart was overjoyed, and she couldn't help but smile.

Princess Defu smiled: "The reason why empress dowager Niangniang is Hong Fuqitian is also because of the mother of the Six Palaces of Deqia."

Lu Concubine Mo learned from those who praised him, who were self-cherishing, and who were happy, and seduced the Lord, and it was better to be the red face of the evil water. ”

As soon as Princess De's voice fell, Lu Churong 'poofed' and knelt on the ground, and his eyes instantly turned red: "Empress Dowager Niangniang, the concubines think that they have no morality and no talent, and they are born with such a skin bag, and zhen ri trembles and trembles, lest she become a concubine of the evil country who is cursed by the courtiers!" "You..." The beauty shed tears, trying to ask who didn't have pity, and the empress dowager was also a little anxious: "You child, you have only entered the palace now, do you want to go so far?" "Not only that, before entering the palace, the concubines often can't sleep at night, and after thinking about it, the only way to ask the empress dowager to be kind and beat the concubines into the cold palace is to eliminate the scourge of the concubines!"

"What do you say?" The empress dowager looked at the inner prisoner next to her, and then looked at the concubines present, and when she boarded, she had a feeling that it was difficult to ride a tiger. Immediately afterward, Princess De also 'poofed' and knelt on the ground: "Empress Dowager Mingjian!" The concubine had no intention of forcing Sister Lu into the Cold Palace, but it was just a matter of saying two words to herself at the age of two. ”

After saying this, he wiped away his tears, which made Lu Churong anxious: "No, no, no, no, what Concubine De said is reasonable, I don't mean this..." The words did not fall, and I listened to 'poof' and 'poof' a few times, and the other concubines also knelt down in turn. Lu Jiu is stupid, no, what about you dumplings? How can I still have one with one? "Sister Defei has absolutely no such intention, please Empress Dowager Mingjian!" Seeing that everyone was also helping Princess De to speak, Lu Jiu nodded hesitantly: "It is exactly what it has to do with Lady De." The empress dowager narrowed her eyes slightly, and used the corner of her eyes to signal the inner warden next to her to move forward. The old eunuch, with a white face and no beard, leaned over the empress dowager.

"Is this a fight in the palace?" The old eunuch was stunned, and then nodded: "It should be." The empress dowager couldn't help but let out a long breath of relief, and then straightened her waist, and the smile on her face deepened a few points. Well, even playing a trick under the eyes of her palace champion, she would have to!

Empress Jiang then said with a loving look in her eyes: "Concubine Lu can say these words, refuse to serve People in Israel, and her consciousness is very high, so Concubine De should stop being aggressive." "The concubine is not, fang cai is obviously too..." Concubine De wanted to say something and stopped, a look of grievance. Of course, Princess De entered the palace for a year, and kept the harem in an orderly manner, the most virtuous, but it was understandable to worry about it! O you, in the future, keep to yourself, and serve the emperor well is the most important thing! "Respectfully follow the teachings of the Empress Dowager." "Okay, it's not too early, let's all go back, new people enter the palace, if there is a shortage, just look for a concubine." "Yes."

Seeing that the empress dowager got up to leave, Lu Churong was anxious: "Too, empress dowager? That Cold Palace, don't you, again, think again? Miaosi stepped forward to pick her up and gave her an appreciative look: "There really is! See if Princess De will dare to talk about your appearance in the future! ”

"Huh?" Lu Jiu pulled the corners of his mouth, "Me, I'm really a little clever ghost..."

Obviously, it is only one step away from the Cold Palace... The concubines left the Corning Palace on the front foot, and Empress Jiang couldn't wait to ask the old eunuch next to her on the back foot: "How did the Mourning Family behave?" Isn't it enwei? Did you have the demeanor of Empress Xiaoci?! Fu Xi, the chief eunuch of The Corning Palace, was busy praising: "The empress dowager's demeanor is far beyond that of Empress Xiaoci!" Empress Jiang smiled contentedly: "The Wai family did not expect that this Lu Concubine had only entered the palace for one day, and dared to provoke Princess De, but Princess De said a word to her, and she cried and shouted that she wanted to enter the Cold Palace. ”

Fuxi agreed: "But the slave felt that Concubine Lu's words were also said to the empress dowager, and she was testing your attitude towards her!" The empress dowager was anxious: "That Fang Cai family is not too fierce to her, right?" If only the King of Jiangbei knew about this..." "The Empress Dowager is assured, you are the most loving!" Empress Jiang slowly sat down with her heart, although she was a little worried in her heart, she still couldn't hide her happiness today: "Before, the black smoke miasma of the former emperor's harem general bucket died and came back to life!" Unfortunately, the wai family was not favored at that time, and could only watch from the periphery, and it was also sad to think about. Now it is also considered that the daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law, and see who of them dares to be a demon under the eyes of the mourning family! Fuxi has been serving Empress Jiang for more than ten years, and at a glance, she can see through her careful thoughts: Is your excited face more like joy? Also pleased to hear is Miaosi, although he has a cold face all the way, it is difficult to hide his excitement.

Now, Lu Churong had touched Miaosi's personality thoroughly, and he didn't know how to explain it to Miaosi for a while. Just as he was thinking to himself, he heard a chuckle coming from the front: "The empress dowager is kind and loving, and the sister of The Princess De is magnanimous, and more and more some people kick their noses in the face, and when they see people, they don't know how to scream." ”

Only then did the two masters and servants of each with concerns see that the west side road of the Corning Palace, which was not wide at all, was blocked by a group of clothes and sideburns. But it was the few who came out of the Corning Palace together, led by the concubines who entered the palace last year, who were also a delicate beauty.

Lu Churong was a little confused, so he said, "What did Niangniang say?" Concubine Li raised her chin, like a peacock with an open screen, with a golden face and gorgeous clothing, and strived to crush the newcomer in momentum: "Didn't you learn the rules before entering the palace?" Although we are both concubines, but before you entered the palace, you should also deserve to call us sisters. "Oh! Hello sisters, sisters have worked hard. "..."Li Concubine, who was about to continue her seizures, was blocked by these words and half dead, her eyes were wide open, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Instead, Xu Guiren behind her laughed: "Yesterday I heard that there was a beautiful person in the palace, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary." Lu Churong touched the small copper stove in the warm hand copy, and the charcoal inside was extinguished.

Wang Guiren smiled: "Not only is it extraordinary, I heard that my temper is also big, so I squeezed the show girls who lived in the same house away, and the sisters can be careful in the future."

"When the charcoal is extinguished, the copper stove will become cold, and it is almost uncomfortable to hold in my hand, so I have to take out the copper stove and give it to Miaosi." Is there such a thing? Concubine Lu's sister is good at what she does. "But isn't it, otherwise how could she squeeze even Princess De's sister in front of the empress dowager?" "In addition to this face, I don't know what else is so remarkable about Lu Concubine's sister?" Even the empress dowager is protecting you. Concubine Li saw that she did not speak, only when she was afraid, she could not help but roll her eyes: "The empress dowager is just upset with the new person, this is the maintenance of one or two!" ”

Miaosi held the cold copper stove with a look of reluctance: Tell you not to bring it out! Lu Churong: I thought I would have to come out for so long! Miaosi's unhappiness was all written on his face, and he had no self-consciousness of being a yakuza, Lu Churong shook his head, it seemed that he was really used to the ancestor.

"Concubine Lu? Lu Concubine! Lu Concubine was helpless, and was shocked: "Sister, what else do you command?" "Li Concubine's face was already angry at this moment, she wasted half a day of saliva here, and the other party actually didn't listen to a word!" I! I say! What the hell are you up to! The empress dowager's blue eyes do not count! They don't even take me seriously! I haven't served yet! If it's a bedchamber! Eyes must not grow to the top of the brain! ”

Lu Jiu was puzzled: "What did my sister say?" I said! You haven't gone to bed yet! If it's a bedchamber——! "No, the previous sentence." "What the hell are you up to?" "There's nothing extraordinary about it, except that my dad is Lu Kang."

Throwing down these words, Lu Jiu beckoned Miaosi to hurry back, standing in the wind outlet on a cold day is how much to live with himself? The rest of Li Concubine and the others stood where they were, their eyes widened and narrowed their eyes, and only then did someone react in the middle of the night: "Lu, Lu... Her last name is Lu? "Lu Concubine Lu Concubine! Of course the surname Lu! Xu Guiren was anxious: "We should have thought of it earlier, this is good, touching Lu Concubine's moldy head is to anger the King of Jiangbei, how is this good!" "What are you panicking about?" Concubine Li said busily: "We didn't treat her like this, but we just talked to her twice, is this difficult, and we can't talk to her yet?" "Sister Li, you don't panic, what are you shaking your hands?" Concubine Li hurriedly tucked her hand into the hand warmer copy: "I'm cold!" Let's all go back! It's so cold! Stand here and do what! After saying this, he took the palace maid to leave one step ahead, did not take two steps, and the foot was soft, and the palace maid hurriedly hugged her tightly: "Niangniang be careful." "She, she is actually the daughter of the Jiangbei Wang family?" Tsai Wei, did I just offend her thoroughly? Will she sue the King of Jiangbei? Then isn't my father and brother..." The more I said it, the more panicked my heart became, and my little face turned white.

Cai Wei hurriedly said, "Old Master has always had two sleeves of fresh wind, and he is sitting upright, even the King of Jiangbei can't be indiscriminate..." "You don't know how terrible this King of Jiangbei is!" Seeing that there was no one around, Li Concubine whispered in her ear: "Mo said that my father is such a small official of the Four Pins, that is, the Wen Taifu family at the beginning, not yet..." Speaking of this, her heart was even more panicked, Lu Concubine would not retaliate against her!

Cai Wei did not have an opinion for a while: "It is not the slave who speaks foreign language, Niangniang should not have blocked her way..." Li Concubine did not know anything, but it was too late to regret it at the moment: "I am not seeing that Princess De's sister has been wronged..." "Even Lady De's concubine has to give up three points of people, so it can be seen that there are some people who have come." Concubine Li was anxious: "You just didn't persuade me, but if something happens at this time, it will depend on me!" Tsai Wei could only comfort her again, this harem thing should not alarm the former dynasty, let her feel more relieved. However, Li Concubine became more and more uneasy the more she thought about it, and turned her head and went to Princess De's Chaohua Palace.

His Majesty was young and did not establish a middle palace, Su Yanxue was in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, and this year the big and small festivals were properly organized, and the relationship between the palaces was also very harmonious. As soon as the emperor was happy, he rushed to crown her as one of the four concubines before Xiunu entered the palace, which not only showed the deep affection between the two, but also showed the importance he attached to the Su family. Since ancient times, the relationship between the former harem has involved the whole body, and the prosperity and the loss are all damaged, just like Lu Churong and her father who is in power and opposition. "Her name is Lu Churong, the ninth girl of the Jiangbei Palace," Su Yanxue returned from the Corning Palace, changed into a loose coat, removed the heavy step swing ring on her hair, and at this moment lazily leaned on the noble concubine's bed, just like the bridesmaid Qianjin who was not out of the cabinet, with a pure bookish atmosphere. "I remember what Honggong told you, that day in Jinlanxuan, it was she who injured the third girl of the Lin family." It was also ridiculous that a royal concubine rode on the head of the Lin family's concubine. "Huh?" Concubine Li pursed her lips and said, "But my sister didn't tell me that this Lu Churong is the daughter of the King of Jiangbei..." Princess De smiled bitterly helplessly: "When I knew, I thought about it, such an arrogant person, whose surname is Lu, is from the Jiangbei King's Mansion." "Concubine Li muttered to herself, she already knew that she was the daughter of the King of Jiangbei, and she wouldn't touch this moldy head when she was killed today!" I just said two unpleasant words to her, sister, in case she complains to the King of Jiangbei, the King of Jiangbei will send my father and brother again... I'm not going to kill my family!" ”

Princess De gently stroked her sideburns and shook her head, "That's not necessarily true, the harem women will not spread a few words of quarrel to the former dynasty, and besides, listening to your description, this Concubine Lu does not take you seriously, let alone sue this case." "That's good, that's good..." Su Yanxue was an opinionated person in the boudoir, and Li Concubine listened to her words before she put her mind at ease. However, when he went back, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, and finally he couldn't help but jump to his feet: "Even if it is the daughter of the King of Jiangbei!" But it's just a bitch! When I was a good bully like Lin San? Don't put me in your eyes yet?! Cai Wei hurriedly advised her: "Niangniang forgot About Fang Cai again?" "I don't need you to remind you!" His Majesty just looked at the face of the King of Jiangbei and gave her a concubine, not even a title, can he still go over me? Tsai Wei praised, and finally did not dare to say anything more. Dispelling the worries in her heart, Concubine Li was a little excited for a moment: "Later, let the imperial dining room prepare some pastries, and I will personally send them to Your Majesty!" Let Your Majesty come to my palace tonight! "Yes, slave, go and prepare."

Unfortunately, her intention was still in vain, and before anyone could get close to the imperial study, she was stopped by the imperial guards. "Wouldn't it be okay to make a notification?" Concubine Li was still not dead-hearted: "If Your Majesty really doesn't want to see me, I will leave!" The imperial guards said coldly, "Please forgive your sins!" "Your Majesty!" Concubine Li was momentarily anxious and shouted, "Your Majesty, the concubine has made a snack!" Does Your Majesty want to taste it? "Don't be so noisy!" Although the imperial guards were also anxious, they could not move roughly in the end.

The little dumplings quickly stepped out of the imperial study, and Li Concubine couldn't help but be pleased: "Zhu Gonggong? The little dumpling said with a bitter face: "Niangniang, Your Majesty is discussing with the important ministers inside, and I really can't see you." "Then, I would like to ask Gonggong Zhu to bring the snacks I made by myself to His Majesty, and I said that even if you are worried about state affairs, you must pay attention to your body, and you must not forget to sleep and eat."

More is better than less, the little dumpling is busy taking the food box from Ce Wei's hand and instructing the little eunuch below to send Li Concubine back. Here Concubine Li was reluctant to give up: "Please ask your father-in-law to tell Your Majesty that the concubine will wait for Your Majesty to eat at night." The little dumpling secretly took a breath of cool air, which was the rhythm of the self-recommendation pillow. I had to respond ambiguously, and instead walked quickly into the imperial study with the carved food box.

Nowadays, the palace no longer burns the earth dragon, and the warm and cold weather, only two pots of smoke cages, are also warm.

Chen Yuanfeng saw wang zhi of the Guozi supervisor today, since the Taifu family had the heart of disobedience and was beheaded by the door, the DPRK has not established a Taifu, and his daily homework is confused and discussed with the Guozi supervisor. Today I called him over, and in addition to understanding the confusion, there was also the matter of the spring day.

"Your Majesty is assured that everything is in great detail, that the prince has made proper arrangements, and that the list of this year's main examination and invigilator examination has also been drawn up, and will be submitted to His Majesty's case in the near future." Chen Yuanfeng nodded and replied, "In the end, if you are young, if you don't have Wang Ye to take care of these things for you, you are really at a loss." The latter smiled slightly when he heard it: "Wang Ye works hard for the society every day, and with His Majesty's words, even if he is exhausted, he will not give up." "I also asked the adults to tell the King of Jiangbei that the list of the main examiner and the invigilator would not have to be sent, and he would personally check the pass, and he would be trustworthy." "Well, if there are no other trifles, then Wei Chen will retreat first." "Okay, sir, walk slowly." Hearing this 'sir', Wang Zhi's heart was full of joy, and he and His Majesty also had a master-apprentice relationship.

When xiao Dumpling sent Wang Zhi back, he saw the king of a country sitting in the same place with a black face. In the end, the person who grew up with him, The little dumpling looked at the nose, nose and heart, and immediately smiled: "Your Majesty! Concubine Li made a snack by hand and sent it! You talked to Lord Wang for half a moment, you should be hungry, right? Don't live up to the wishes of Concubine Li. ”

"How much benefit did you receive from her, so you worked hard for her?" That being said, ren xiao dumplings still brought the food box in front of him. "Slaves who work hard for Concubine Li, slaves only care about Your Majesty!" This snack must be eaten while it is hot, if it is left for a long time..." The two masters and servants looked at the open food box, and at the same time looked at the position where Fang Cai Wang Zhi was sitting. There, peach blossom puff pastry, golden bait cakes, and a bowl of puff pastry sprinkled with dried fruit are placed exactly like in the food box.

"What a handmade one." Chen Yuanfeng sneered and drew a folded book from the case: "Take it, don't eat it." "This..." The little dumpling cried and said with a sad face, "Although it is made by the imperial dining room, it is also a heart of Concubine Li." "It's not so much her intention as it is the chef's." His heart was in turmoil at the moment, and he was really not in the mood to eat snacks.

Soon it will be the day of the Spring Examination, which is related to the selection of officials and the appointment and dismissal of talents. Although every year the imperial examination was carried out by the Party of the King of Jiangbei, and many disciples of the family door valve were secretly promoted, under his interference, there were also true talents and scholars who successfully entered the army. But this year was a little different, Lu Kang did not intend to let him intervene from the beginning, and even excluded all the officials outside the Lu family's party, and he now wanted to know something only through Wang Zhi's side knock. King of Jiangbei... What a powerful king of Jiangbei! Distraught, he folded the song together, and the king of a country stood up: "Calculate, there should be a secret letter into the palace today, and you let the people below be smarter." The little dumpling thought of the first nine days of today, and he couldn't help but look at him with a cold look, and he changed the appearance of Fang Cai'er Lang Dang, and hurried to be. The young Tianzi looked out the window again: "The weather is good today, go to the harem to see the new concubines entering the palace!" ”
