Chapter 9: The New Favorite (2)

Li Shutian's master and servant came to the Guanju Palace, she did not enter immediately, but stood in front of the gate of the Guanju Palace and looked up at the plaque. Guan Ju Palace, take "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island." My Fair Lady, Gentleman. It is said that the original name of this palace was Qixiang Palace, and the current name was changed by the emperor for her when Li Jingxi entered the palace, and it seems that the emperor is really affectionate to his cousin. Shu Tian also clearly knows that all her current honors are stained with the light of her cousin Li Jingxi.

"Little master, this day is too big, carefully hit the heat stroke, let's go in?" The maid Ruixiang was worried about her little master's body, and kindly reminded her. Li Shutian nodded, Ruixiang went to knock on the door, and a little palace maid rushed to report, and after a while, the little palace maid invited the two of them into the hall.

Li Shutian saw that Li Jingxi was about to salute, but was stopped by Li Jingxi: "You and my sister, what are you doing with these false courtesies?" Sit down. As he spoke, he pulled Shu Tian to sit beside him.

"Thank you, cousin. Has my cousin been doing well in the palace this year? Li Shutian looked at the luxurious and exquisite furnishings in the palace, and then looked at Li Jingxi's dress, and understood that her question was superfluous, so she asked herself: "Presumably, the emperor treats his cousin very well, and my cousin must be doing well." ”

"If the food and clothing are good, it is indeed good. But trapped in this boxy world, except for this brocade clothes and jade food, I am afraid that it is no different from imprisonment. Li Jingxi laughed to herself.

"Why did my cousin say such sad words? It is our destiny to enter the palace as a concubine, and since we have no choice, we should face it calmly. Li Shutian didn't understand what could be unsatisfactory to her cousin, who was already the "first person in the harem".

"Fate? I used to be unbelievers, but now I ...... That's it, not to mention these unhappy things, today is the first day you officially became the imperial concubine, and I should celebrate you, I have ordered the small kitchen to prepare your favorite food, and I will stay for lunch. Graceful motioned for Liuli to go down and prepare.

"Okay, my cousin still loves me." Li Shutian was more affectionate in front of this cousin with a similar personality.

"What are you polite to me? You see, this is one for you. Li Jingxi took out a set of clothes that had been prepared and handed it to Li Shutian: "The emperor will definitely summon you to sleep in the next few days, and you must dress up beautifully." ”

Li Shutian stroked the placket of this jade smoke Luo Qiyun skirt, and then looked at a green freesia bloom, and moved to hold Li Jingxi's hand and said: "My cousin has worked so hard for me, Shutian is really moved, in the future in this harem, you and my sisters will definitely support each other." ”

"That's nature." Li Jingxi patted Shu Tian's hand.

The sisters' luncheon was ready, and the two of them used it happily together. After lunch, Amber, who had been named Hotaru Ji, came to greet Li Jingji, and Li Shutian also took this opportunity to say goodbye.

"The slave maid asks for peace to Zhaoyi Niangniang." Amber gave Li Jingxi a bow, which was not in line with Amber, who was already the status of the prince's concubine, but Amber still did it.

"What are you doing, you've sealed Yingji, why do you still call yourself a slave? Get up. Grace felt sorry for Amber and quickly helped her up.

"No matter what identity Amber becomes, she is Niangniang's slave, and Niangniang's great grace slave is unforgettable in this life." Amber burst into tears, and she now felt like her daughter Guining who had been married.

"Look at you." The graceful lady wiped her tears for Amber with a silk and asked softly, "How is the prince treating you?" The crown princess didn't embarrass you, did she? ”

"The crown prince and the crown princess treat slaves and maids very well. The prince said that the amber was crystal clear, so he took the word 'Ying' as the title of slave. The crown princess has a gentle temperament and is knowledgeable, and the prince treats the slave and the princess equally, so she naturally will not embarrass the slave and the maid. Moreover, the prince also said that if the slave and maid can give birth to an heir in the future, he will make the slave and maid a good woman. At this point, Amber blushed a little, and she was a little shy.

"That's good. At the beginning, the palace suggested that the prince ask to marry Xia Yunxi, also because he knew that she was a good person, and she would never embarrass the concubines as a housewife. It seems that her hard work has not been in vain.

"Niangniang bothered about the slaves and maids, and the slaves and maids all understood, and in the future, the slaves and maids will serve the prince and respect the princess wholeheartedly." Later, Amber conveyed the prince's gratitude and explained the reason why it was inconvenient for the prince to come to the door in person to thank him, and Li Jingxi could also understand that the relationship between the former master and servant was further advanced because of this matter. The two chatted and chatted that it was getting late, and at this time, Zimo, who came back from outside, came to report that the emperor had decided to sleep tonight - the originally confident Lan nobleman did not get what he wanted, but Li Shutian won the honor of sleeping this night. She was not surprised when she heard this, but just smiled slightly. And Amber and Zimo both know that the emperor values the Li family, and even more so Li Jingxi.

"Okay Zimo, you also ran outside for a day today, it's hard work, go down and rest." Li Jingxi waved her hand and signaled that Zimo could go back to rest.

"Slaves don't work hard. The slave and maid retired. Zimo bowed and retreated.

"Niangniang, why isn't Zimo serving in front of Niangniang?" Didn't Zimo enter the Guan Ju Palace just to take over her position, but now it seems that Zimo has not become a close attendant, and Amber is puzzled.

"Hongu has found that this girl has many advantages, and it is better to play to her strengths by keeping her outside than by following her. If you become a close attendant of the palace, you can't run around in the palace all day long, and now Zimo is much freer, and it is convenient to do more things for the palace. Li Jingxi felt that Zimo was smart and reliable, and in time he would definitely become his confidant.

"The mother is thoughtful." Amber admires Lee's intelligence.

They talked about some trivial matters again, Li Jingxi left Amber for dinner, and then Amber was about to leave, Li Jingxi was very reluctant, and had to personally send Amber to the gate of Guanju Palace, Amber repeatedly refused but finally couldn't insist. So, just when Li Jingxi sent Amber away and was about to turn around and enter the door, she happened to hear the sound of Feng Luan Chunen's car pressing against the bluestone pavement not far away, and at this moment, a poem couldn't help but appear in her mind:

The cinnamon branch picks the moon, and the cuckoo covers the clouds. The night is noisy and silent, and it is the time for the new favorite.
