Volume 1 Harem Tricks Chapter 5 Rules
"Knock, knock, knock." After Qiao Ruoli finished washing up, he went to the door of Aunt Xiran's room with the remaining basin of hot water, and knocked on the door frame a few times.
Xi Ran listened to these regular knocks on the door, and her impression of Qiao Ruoli was a little better, and she opened her mouth and said, "Come in." ”
After hearing this, Qiao Ruoli lifted the curtain and walked in with his little short legs. Walking to the opposite side of Xiran, Qiao Ruoli carefully put the water aside, and then bowed in a proper manner and said, "Auntie, Ruoli went to carry water with Xi'er, and by the way, she also made a basin for her aunt, aunt, please use it." ”
Xi Ran raised his eyes and looked at Qiao Ruoli, and he felt a little fond of it in his heart, he knew the rules, and the children who did not take credit were very popular in the harem.
"Okay, by the way, this is the costume issued by the Imperial Court, you can take it back, since the official class starts the day after tomorrow, you can only wear the clothes in the palace, and I don't want to disturb me if I have nothing to do." Xi Ran is a person who is cold and hot-hearted, although there is not half a good sentence on her lips, but she also likes Qiao Ruoli, a child.
A few days have passed in a blink of an eye, Qiao Ruoli is also completely adapted to the life in the palace, getting up at four o'clock every day, going to the dining room at six o'clock to get three breakfasts, and setting off with Xi'er to study in the Shanggong Bureau as soon as the time comes. Although he was greedy for darkness in the early days, he was not beaten and scolded by his cheap father, and he ate and drank much better than before.
Just like today, what they eat is the meat porridge given by the emperor, although it is left over from the emperor, but for Qiao Ruoli, who has not seen a meat star for many years, it can be regarded as delicious.
"Have you heard, the concubine is coming to inspect today, and we will have to behave well then." Pinkie chattered.
A sharp light flashed in Qiao Ruoli's eyes after hearing it, but this light was quickly suppressed, but no one else saw it, because Qiao Ruoli knew that his current appearance was no match for Tang Mingruo, and compared with the emperor's favorite concubine and a son who had just entered the palace, it was just an egg hitting a stone.
"Pingji, can you be quiet for a while, the class is about to start, you look like this and are seen by the palm, don't hit your palm." Liuli's eyes looked at Ping Ji obliquely, and Ping Ji's expression immediately became scornful.
"Hehe, Lord Liuli has such a good relationship with our aunt, she won't beat us, right?" Pinkie replied in a slightly flattering tone.
It's just that Liuli turned his head to continue reading, Qiao Ruoli looked at Liuli's awkward appearance, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"You said she was just like us, just a 5 or 6-year-old, where is that book every day?" The bell came to Qiao Ruoli and Xi'er and whispered.
"Hmph, I advise you not to provoke her easily, and don't say this easily in the future, do you know who she is?" Yuanyuan squinted at the bell, but the bell looked indifferent.
"Her surname is Shen!" Yuanyuan shook her head, cut the bell diagonally towards Qiao Ruoli and Xi'er's bodies, and then said.
"What are you afraid of with the surname Shen, don't you also have the surname Shen. Shen, the surname of so many people in the world, everyone has to grovel? The bell glanced at Yuanyuan and said.
Qiao Ruoli could see that Bell didn't like Yuanyuan who lived with her at all, in fact, it was no wonder. Because this Zhang Yuanyuan is the kind of child who likes his elders in modern times, although he is very sensible, he can't hide that utilitarian heart, but the children hate such people the most.
"If only I had the same surname as her, Shen, her aunt is Lord Shanggong!" Yuanyuan looked like she hated iron but not steel, gritted her teeth and said secretly.
"Lord Shanggong? Our Lord Shanggong is surnamed Wang, and so on is Shen Shanggong? The bell looked like he didn't care, but immediately the conversation turned.
"Hmm." Yuanyuan secretly looked in the direction of Liuli, and lowered her voice and replied with a word.
"Is Shen Shanggong the legendary female official family?" Xi'er heard it, and somehow followed.
But Qiao Ruoli lacked this kind of interest, because she had already heard of the reputation of this Shen Shanggong, the women of this family were proud of being female officials, and every time the palace selected the inner son, the women of their family would actively participate, and the Shang Palace before Wang Shanggong was surnamed Shen, and it was probably the grandmother of this Shen Liuli.
"Hey, you guys chewed on the root of my tongue for a long time, and you thought I wouldn't be able to hear it so quietly." Qiao Ruoli was thinking about meeting the concubine for a while, and she didn't know when this glass had already appeared by their side.
Qiao Ruoli raised his eyes and looked at Liuli, but he didn't make a sound, he just opened his book, and he didn't notice that the other three girls had already lowered their heads and didn't dare to do anything else.
"Hey! What do you mean? I'm talking to you, what book are you looking down at, are you literate? Liuli originally just wanted to remind them not to chew their tongues, after all, when they left home, their father told them not to make trouble for their aunt, but when they looked at Qiao Ruoli's appearance, they were angry, after all, they were just a child, how could they say that they would press down.
"So what do you want me to say? We are both in-laws, you came over and were arrogant to me, I don't have the same knowledge as you, and you still question me? Qiao Ruoli was naturally not in a good mood because he was going to see the concubine today, so he replied with a few words.
"Sister Liuli, dissipate your anger, we all think that your Shen family is a female official, and you think it's just a legend, so don't meet a few of us in general." Shen Yuanyuan came over to persuade her with a flattering face, but Liuli didn't appreciate it so much.
"Don't think that I don't know your careful thoughts, and think that I came in by connections, but let me tell you, the girls of our Shen family can be female officials one by one." After speaking, Liuli skimmed Qiao Ruoli's book and looked at Qiao Ruoli with a somewhat provocative gaze.
Because she didn't believe that Qiao Ruoli could understand the words above, how could a girl as old as them be enlightened so early, and now she listens to her husband's lectures, but she just memorizes them with her brain after listening, and Liuli is different, she began to receive family training at the age of three, so in her opinion, Qiao Ruoli is just pretending.
"Go pick up my books." Qiao Ruoli is a good temper, but he can't stand the provocation of the bear child, so he stood up and looked at Liuli and said.
After all, she is also a person who has been the daughter of the Xiangmen, and Qiao Ruoli's momentum really scared Liuli, but Liuli quickly calmed down, because she expected that this girl would not dare to do anything to herself.
"What if you don't pick it up?" Liuli looked at Qiao Ruoli with a somewhat provocative gaze.
