Wang Erhan is the niece of the Queen Mother, and it is not surprising that she was selected.

Lu Ji saw that she was wearing a peach Su embroidered moon brocade shirt, a blue and green sprinkled horse face skirt, and a blue and white knot tied around her waist, her facial features were pretty and cute, and she was not very dignified and restrained, she must be a pampered and proud little girl with no scheming.

As for that Feng Shaoyi, it made Lu Ji a little unable to see through it.

Her father was the general of the capital who was transferred back to the capital not long ago to pacify the frontier, and her brother Feng Yu killed the enemy at the age of 18 to quell the rebellion, and was named the general of Fuding and the squire of the military department, and the whole family was a hero who protected the country and the country.

Lu Ji originally suspected that the emperor chose her for her family's power, but she was born even more stunning, if she hadn't followed her family far away in the frontier city since she was a child, I am afraid that she would have already become famous in the capital, and the emperor would have taken a fancy to her beauty.

At first glance, Feng Shaoyi looked like a smooth lake, so calm and quiet that he didn't seem to notice her movements

But Lu Ji faintly intuitively felt that under the calm surface of the lake, there should be a rough sea.

"The daughter of Bai Qishan, Bai Jin'er, is weaving in five products and two rivers. ”

The Bailu family is on Rong'an Street, and the two can also be regarded as "old acquaintances".

Liangjiang Weaving is not a big official, but the ancestor of the Bai family is the nurse mother of the first emperor, and Bai Jin'er's grandfather is the nurse brother of the first emperor, and the relationship with the royal family is very close.

In addition, the Bai family has been helping the Wang family to sit on the throne of the queen mother before, and Bai Jin'er herself is also a beautiful and down-to-earth state, presumably for Bai Jin'er, the emperor and the queen mother can agree on their opinions.

"The daughter of Mayne, the chief chef of the Internal Affairs Bureau, Mei Honeysuckle. ”

Lu Ji looked at Mei Honeysuckle, who was the last to get off the sedan chair, and turned out to be the girl who was bullied for making pastries that day.

Honeysuckle winked at her and laughed, revealing two small tiger teeth.

Lu Ji also smiled at her.

I didn't expect such a daughter of a small family to be selected, and I don't know what kind of skills the soft-looking and cowardly Mei Honeysuckle has.

The five of them saluted each other, and the attendants they brought with them followed.

The eunuch took the five people from the side gate to the Shangli Bureau, and each settled down in the showgirl's bedroom, and then came out to see the two aunts.

Aunt Fangxi was the palace maid beside the emperor, and led Mei Rongdong and Feng Shaoyi to the west side of the ceremonial room.

Aunt Suyu was the old aunt who followed the Queen Mother, and led the remaining three to the Taili Room in the east.

Lu Ji was assigned to the two people who were favored by the Queen Mother, and followed the aunt next to the Queen Mother, so she had to remind herself to be more cautious, so as not to fall into the trap.

The three of them met Aunt Shuyu and began to teach daily living etiquette.

Aunt Shuyu didn't talk much, her sentences were strict and serious, Bai Jin'er and Wang Erhan both kept their mouths shut, and Lu Ji didn't say much.

The time had passed, lunch had been passed up, and the etiquette of eating had been taught, and the three of them sat down and started to eat seriously.

Lu Ji looked at a few dishes on the table, a night shrimp in front of Bai Jin'er, a gooseskin eggplant in front of Wang Erhan, a four-mango green pineapple in front of him, and a bowl of hibiscus and four fresh soup in the middle.

Lu Ji does not eat mangoes, and after eating them, his lips will itch and red, his face and body will be itchy and rash, and he will be bedridden with a high fever.

Lu Ji had no choice but to cross over to the dishes in front of them.

Shuyu watched from the side and coughed lightly.

Lu Ji knew that it was really not appropriate to be like this all the time, so he had to scoop the soup silently and drink it slowly.

But she soon discovered that Bai Jin'er and Wang Erhan deliberately sandwiched more dishes in front of them not entirely out of position.

Lu Ji thought that the Bai family was from the south, and after moving to the capital, they did not change their habit of eating aquatic products, so there were often fast horses in the house to deliver fresh aquatic products to the house.

She should have guessed it a long time ago!

The dish was brought by Aunt Shuyu, and the dish that the two loved to eat happened to be right in front of them, was it really just a coincidence?

Lu Ji didn't believe it.

Aunt Suyu did look at the two of them more lovingly and flatteringly than when she looked at herself.

Indeed, with the identities of the two of them, they often go in and out of the palace, especially in the Queen Mother's Palace, which is not strange at all, but I am afraid that the two of them have known each other for a long time.

In that case, shouldn't the two of them be left alone with Aunt Shuyu? Why do they have to drag her?

Lu Jihu looked at the two of them suspiciously, not knowing what his intentions were.

She wanted to restrain her edge, but she became the target of both of them for no reason.

I was waiting to see the movements of these two people, but there was nothing abnormal for a few days, but judging from the intimacy between them, my inference was true.

Mei Honeysuckle is a person who has the heart to repay her kindness, she calls her "sister" affectionately, sends hand-made pastries every day, and says that she will give her a surprise on the day of the canonization of the show girl.

Lu Ji knew that she was not a bad person, and he was not disgusted by her enthusiasm.

Although she helped her at that time just because she couldn't get used to Shi Jinzhi leaning on the bully and had nothing to do with Mei Rongdong, but now Mei Rongdong's rare heart is really valuable in the palace.

Having such a friend is also more beneficial and less harmful to yourself.

The first day of the new year is the day of canonization, and then it is the royal family banquet where the new concubine meets the royal family for the first time.

It stands to reason that the new concubines will be expressed at the family banquet, in order to win the emperor's favor first.

Lu Ji felt that it was best for him to sit quietly on his own turf and watch them compete for beauty.

The gun shoots the first bird, not to mention the impermanence of the king's pet, how can he hope for a long time.

On the first day of the new year, the celebrant eunuch came to announce the canonization and give court clothes.

Wang Erhan was canonized as a third-grade Jieyu and lived in Zhongcui Palace;

Bai Jin'er was canonized as a beauty from the third grade and lived in Yanxi Palace;

Lu Ji is the fourth grade of Baolin, and he is given to live in Chuxiu Palace;

Feng Shaoyi is a four-grade royal maid and is given to live in Yikun Palace;

Mei honeysuckle is a four-grade woman and lives in Xianfu Palace.

Wang Bai and the others were in the East Palace, and the other three were in the West Palace, although their status was slightly lower, Lu Ji was still secretly happy.

Chuxiu Palace is close to the Imperial Garden, which makes Lu Ji very satisfied.

It is much better to listen to the birds and insects than to listen to the women talking about each other.

A small two-entry courtyard, entered from the main entrance, on both sides are the east side hall and the west side hall.

Now the five people are all sitting in the main palace.

After settling down, Yin Yi, the palace maid in charge, brought four palace maids and six eunuchs to see Lu Baolin.

Lu Ji had the heart to test the sincerity of these subordinates, so he didn't give a reward or instruct, said "I know", and let them go down.

Yin Yi stood respectfully and listened to the instructions.

Lu Ji saw that she was twenty-five or sixteen years old, although her appearance was not outstanding, but she was pleasing to the eye, took her hand and said with a smile: "Don't be so restrained, my aunt is older than me, and she has been in the palace for many years, and she will have to be supported by her aunt in everything in the future." ”

Suddenly, the voice of listening to chess came from outside the door: "What nonsense! Wait until I tell the little master to send you away!"

Lu Ji and Yin Yi were puzzled, and the waiter came in with a lacquer plate and listening to chess.

When he heard that Qi saw Lu Ji, he said: "Just now the two little palace maids were sweeping the floor at the door, and they said something, 'I heard that Wang Jieyu and Bai Meiren gave the next person a reward of silver, why are we unlucky to meet such a little master', let me and Sister Shishu hear it, aren't you angry!"

Lu Ji turned his head and said to Yinyi with a smile: "This is my intention not to reward my subordinates." The loyalty obtained in exchange for silver money is not reliable, and I also ask Aunt Yinyi to pay more attention recently, and leave the good ones among these subordinates, and send away the bad ones, so that a few of us don't feel at ease here. ”

Yinyi hurriedly bowed down and said with a smile: "The minions should be dedicated, don't call me aunt, the little master really tortures me!"

The waiter put down the lacquer plate, picked up Yinyi and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't worry, we have grown up with the little master since we were children, and we are like sisters. From now on, we and the little master will still rely on my aunt to take care of us. ”

Lu Ji nodded and smiled, the waiter has always understood her mind best since she was a child.

The waiter smiled and picked up the bowl on the lacquer plate, "The little master has been tired lately, and he has forgotten what day it is." ”
