Chapter 25: Night Talk
After recording her name, Luo Xinfang walked out of the Yilan Palace, and she didn't have the heart to listen to the roll call behind.
She knew in her heart that the order of this roll call was likely to be the order of their positions after entering the palace, but there were many changes in the past seven days, and no one knew what variables would arise in the future, so she decided to choose the palace room first, and at this time it should be familiar with the environment.
Lin Xizhi was also followed by a palace maid, and the two were waiting outside the hall.
As soon as Lin Xizhi saw Luo Xinfang coming out of the palace gate, she immediately pulled it up and said in a low voice: "Sister Fang came out late, let's move faster, so as not to be preempted by others." ”
Luo Xinfang nodded and said, "I'm dragging my sister down." He turned back to give Pell a look, and Pell picked up the package and quickly followed the two of them.
Luo Xinfang followed Lin Xizhi around and around, until she was a little stunned and then walked to a palace room.
Lin Xizhi whispered to Luo Xinfang: "This is the Suifu Palace, although it is not the most gorgeous palace, but it is better to be comfortable, and it is close to the place where you teach every day." ”
There is no palace maid guarding the door, and it is obvious that no one has picked it here yet.
Luo Xinfang said with a smile: "Sister Zhi'er still knows more, and my sister will rely on you in the future." ”
Lin Xizhi said with a smile: "Sister said she laughed." Yu Ba took the burden from the hands of the two palace maids, "Mei'er, you go to the Shangyi Bureau to register your name, and say that I and the daughter of the official department of Shangshu live in the Suifu Palace." You ......"
"The slave maid is cheap, and her name is Pei'er." Pei'er hurriedly bowed her head and replied.
"Well, Pell is standing guard at the door." Lin Xizhi nodded, as if she was very satisfied with Pei'er's cleverness.
Pei'er and Mei'er bowed their heads in response, and closed the palace door for the two of them.
Luo Xinfang looked at the layout of the palace and said, "I can't imagine that it's quite big here, will it be a waste for two people to live." ”
"Sister Fang, I'm thinking a lot, this Chuxiu Palace is a special palace for the draft, although it is not the most gorgeous, but it is definitely the most spacious." Lin Xizhi said and put the package of the two on the side of the warped case.
"Sister Zhi'er is right, but I'm too careful. Sister, would you rather live in the east or in the west? Luo Xinfang asked.
Lin Xizhi smiled and said: "The west is a warm pavilion, and it is the most comfortable to live in, so it is better for us to live there and sleep together at night." ”
Luo Xinfang frowned lightly, and said with some hesitation: "Won't this be unruly?" ”
Lin Xizhi said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I've never heard of anyone setting this rule." ”
When Luo Xinfang heard this, he stretched his brows and said, "Okay, this person is unfamiliar with life, and it is strange to be nervous to sleep alone." ”
Lin Xizhi saw that Luo Xinfang agreed, and also smiled, and said while unpacking the package: "Since you have decided, let's quickly pack up your personal belongings, these things are no better than others, but they have to be put away." ”
Luo Xinfang also understood the stakes, so she also packed up her things together.
The people in the palace don't have lunch, and the show girls to be selected naturally follow the rules. These delicate little beauties are afraid that they will eat too much and lose their shape, which will lead to the failure of the palace election, and some people don't even have dinner.
Luo Xinfang and Lin Xizhi are different.
The two of them are used to eating three meals a day at home, and they can't stand it if they don't eat lunch when they are cold.
At this time, it was already sunset, Lin Xizhi felt that she was dizzy with hunger, she lay on the outside of the soft couch and looked at Luo Xinfang, who was packing the silver bills into her purse, and said weakly: "Sister Fang, aren't you hungry, you still have the energy to do this." ”
"Of course I'm hungry, but the rules are like this, what can you and I do?" Luo Xinfang was a little helpless, and her stomach had been protesting for a long time.
Lin Xizhi turned over to face her, revealing a bitter gourd face.
"Well, I'm going to have to eat when dinner comes."
Luo Xinfang said with a smile: "Don't eat too much, beware of getting fat." ”
"I ate a lot when I was in the house, and I felt like I had lost a lot of money when I didn't eat this lunch." After Lin Xizhi finished speaking, she pinched her waist.
Luo Xinfang's large and small purses were put back into the package, staring at Lin Xizhi's palm-sized face and said, "Sister Zhi'er, you're afraid you're not joking with me, right?" Look at your slender and tall appearance, where do you look like that greedy person? ”
Lin Xizhi touched Luo Xinfang's waist with a gesture, and teased: "Slender and tall, it's Sister Fang, right?" Look at this willow slender waist, I don't know how many people to envy. ”
Luo Xinfang's cheeks were crimson, and she feigned anger and said, "Sister Zhi'er, why is she so unserious!" ”
Lin Xizhi hurriedly covered her face and said, "I'm scared, I'm afraid, my sister didn't say anything." ”
The two were making a fuss, and Mei'er's voice came from outside the door, "Two young ladies, the people from Shangshan Division are here." ”
Lin Xizhi hurriedly sat up and said, "Spread quickly!" I'm starving. ”
As soon as the words fell, an old lady led a group of palace maids and waiters to enter, the two in the front held food boxes, and the people in the back each held clothes, jewelry and other objects in their hands.
Lin Xizhi was about to get up and put on embroidered shoes when she saw someone coming, but she was held down by the old mother.
"Miss Zhi is casual, it's the Queen Mother who is worried about you, ask the old slave to come and see, and the old slave will also send the people from the Shangyi Bureau over by the way, so as not to disturb Miss Zhi's rest if they come late." The old lady said kindly.
"Where did Mama say, please thank the Queen Mother on my behalf." Lin Xizhi turned back to Luo Xinfang and said, "Sister Fang, this is Mama Lian next to the Queen Mother. ”
Luo Xinfang smiled slightly when she heard this: "I have seen Mama Lian, so Mama Lian smiled." ”
Mama Lian saw that the bedding of the two of them was placed on the same couch, so she said: "Miss Luo is polite, the Queen Mother heard that you and Miss Zhi live in the same hall, so she ordered the old slave to send your share of the money together." ”
Luo Xinfang put on embroidered shoes and saluted, "Luo Xinfang thanks the Empress Dowager for her grace." ”
Mama Lian smiled: "The two young ladies are both resting in Xinuan Pavilion?" ”
"It was my idea, I always felt that I was afraid to sleep alone at night, so I begged Sister Fang to join me." Lin Xizhi was a little embarrassed.
Mama Lian scratched Lin Xizhi's little nose and said, "How could Mama not know that it was your ghostly idea, the two young ladies have a good relationship, and this is harmless." Just be careful not to be used by those who have a heart to make a fuss. ”
Lin Xizhi nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mama, let's be careful." He took out a gold leaf from his purse and stuffed it into Mama Lian's hand, "Please drink tea." ”
Mama Lian hurriedly pushed, "The Queen Mother treats the old slave well, the old slave doesn't lack anything, Miss Zhi keeps it for herself." ”
Lin Xizhi pouted and said, "If Mama doesn't take it, it's too little, I'll go to the bottom of the box." ”
"Come on, the old slave can't say Miss Zhi, don't dare not accept it." Mama Lian made a headache.
Luo Xinfang brought a silver bill, so he took out a whole purse and handed it to Mama Lian, "Mama, fragrant tea with snacks, this is a little bit of Xinfang's care." ”
Mama Lian took the two of them with a smile and said, "Then the old slave won't shirk, the two young ladies will rest early after dinner, and it will be good to work hard for a few days." The old slave then retired. After saying that, he gave the palace maids a look, and the palace maids who had arranged the things lowered their heads and followed Mama Lian out without squinting.
"Hurry, hurry, I can't wait for a moment." Lin Xizhi pulled Luo Xinfang to the Nanmu table in the second room and sat down, and the palace maids had already set up the meal.
With just one glance, Lin Xizhi wilted.
"Why are they all vegetarian?"
Luo Xinfang looked at the table of vegetarian dishes, and his scalp was numb.
"I think it's Shang Shan Si, I think the show girls won't be stained with meat these days."
The two meatless people looked at each other, but they were really hungry in their stomachs, so they could only honestly pick up the dishes and eat them.
The meal was very hard for the two of them, Mei'er and Pei'er came in and removed the dishes, and after the two of them finished freshening up, they returned to the couch and chatted with each other.
"Ah, it's not good to enter the palace at all, you can't even eat a piece of meat." Lin Xizhi's eyes stared at the curtain, as if she wanted to stare out of a hole in the cyan tent.
"Sister Zhi'er is talking nonsense again." Luo Xinfang said a little funny.
Lin Xizhi's gaze turned to Luo Xinfang's face, "Where am I talking nonsense, could it be that Sister Chengfang wants to enter the palace?" ”
"If there is anything I want to think about or not, it's just that my family wants me to run, so I'll run for election. Besides, I don't know how many people are thinking about this earth-high wealth, as for whether they can be selected, it depends on the number of lives of the individual. Luo Xinfang's voice was soft and soft, and she couldn't hear any emotion.
Lin Xizhi looked at Luo Xinfang like this, and the face of the eldest brother appeared in her mind in an instant.
Thinking of what her eldest brother said to her, Lin Xizhi quickly diverted the topic, "Actually, entering the palace is not without any benefits." ”
Luo Xinfang teased: "It's you who says it's good, and it's you who says it's bad." ”
"Oh, I'm serious!" Lin Xizhi lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "Sister Fang doesn't know, today's saint is personable, if he looks like Pan An, let alone Youzhou, even if the whole Dayan has searched through it, he can't find a few people who can match it." ”
Luo Xinfang was also curious, so she turned her head and asked, "Who did Sister Zhi'er listen to?" ”
Lin Xizhi said a little proudly: "Do I still need to hear about it?" When I met the Queen Mother in the palace, I took a sneak peek behind the screen. Tsk, I used to think that my eldest brother was the best-looking person in the world, and it wasn't until that moment that I knew what it meant to have someone outside the world, and there was a sky outside the sky. ”
"Sister Zhi'er, you are bold enough." Luo Xinfang couldn't help laughing.
Lin Xizhi said with a smile: "This is the secret between me and Sister Fang, Sister Fang is not allowed to tell others!" ”
Luo Xinfang nodded Lin Xizhi's forehead, "Don't worry, is my sister that kind of person." ”
The two chatted until late at night before falling asleep.
After getting up early in the morning and freshening up, both of them tacitly changed into the palace clothes of the show girls prepared by the Shangyi Bureau.
For seven days to be selected, the Shangyi Bureau prepares palace clothes for the young ladies they choose every day, and they can choose to wear palace clothes or their own clothes.
It's just that smart people will choose to wear palace clothes, and fools will choose this time to be sharp.
As for the clothes that I brought, I kept them for the day of the election.
