The New Year is approaching, and in the past, except for a few officials on duty, the officials of the Andong Prefecture before the customs were all on annual leave to go home to prepare new clothes and clean the house, and the family happily prepared for a New Year.

This year, however, is very different from previous years, since Li Yu ordered a few days ago to prepare for the New Year, he sent Li Wenchang, the general of Jiaoduanwei, to lead 4,000 soldiers and civilians to be stationed in Puluozhong, Nanyang. The corresponding fleet and personnel were dispatched, the army was reorganized, and various materials such as food and medicine were prepared.

The various departments of the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate had to postpone the annual leave, and the Anton Pioneer Group, Supply and Demand Department, Jiaolong Hainan Airlines and other institutions directly under the Yanwang Mansion were also busy, and they almost forgot that there were still four days to go before the New Year's Eve.

At this time, the Yanwang Mansion is approaching the New Year's Close, but the New Year's flavor in the palace is getting stronger and stronger, and the young and lively beautiful maids not only clean the entire palace, but also put up lights everywhere under the command of Li Shu, the head of the palace.

Xin'er, Mei'er, Ling'er and Yang Xuanniang, who came to Anton with Li Yu at the beginning of the year, distributed the splendid skirts cut from the best tailors in the Shu brocade by the king's craftsmanship to each maid.

This move was proposed by Nai Xin'er, which was intended to show the handmaidens in the palace that there were a large number of people in the palace, all of whom were beautiful and beautiful, and who had the ability to compete for the concubines of King Yan, to show their daughters their superb and special status in the palace of King Yan, and to show grace to win people's hearts.

The little maids with graceful postures and delicate faces smiled very brightly while holding splendid clothes. Most of them come from ordinary people's families, and it is difficult to add a new dress all year round, let alone a maid from the disaster area in Guanzhong.

At this time, they were holding skirts cut from Shu brocade in their hands, which they couldn't think of before they entered the Yanwang Mansion.

In addition to the powerful and wealthy in the Tang Dynasty, ordinary people are only coarse linen clothes and straw sandals all year round.

The maids were smiling and holding the skirts in their hands, and groups of warblers and warblers couldn't wait to trot back to their rooms to try them on. In the minds of some maids, they even thought about wearing this beautiful skirt, what makeup should be put on themselves, which will make their faces more beautiful and moving, and impress our His Royal Highness King Yan in one fell swoop, so that he can fly on the branches to be a phoenix.

In the eyes of some self-motivated maids, in addition to Yang Xuanniang and Yang Shiyan, the commander of Xiuyi's right guard, they can't compare with those from wealthy families, like the four daughters of Xin'er who have a transcendent status in the palace, are only palace slaves, and their status in society is lower than that of their white families. To have the current status is not just to serve His Highness one step earlier than them, win favor and be favored.

In terms of body and appearance, the slave family is not inferior to the four of them. In terms of talent, the slave family can't do it now, but you can learn it, Your Highness's library is open to all the maids in the palace.

Some maids are changing into gorgeous skirts while cheering themselves up in their hearts, and in the future, they will break out of the world in the Yanwang Mansion with their own skills.

At this time, the nine pairs of twins changed into Xin'er's new clothes and walked lightly in the garden full of snow plums, singing and dancing, ready to present a song and dance for Li Yu on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Each of the nine pairs of twins wears skirts of different colors, i.e., enchanting as red, pink, and yellow, pure as blue, green, and white, and cold as black, blue, and purple. Eighteen women wore nine-color skirts in the garden to dance and sing softly, the bright color of the skirts, the slender thighs of the twins, the delicate willow waist, and the faces of the girls who provoked reverie such as hibiscus out of the water all stimulated people's visual nerves.

The maids around were all attracted by the dance of the twins, and stopped moving, revealing envious and jealous eyes. There is no other reason, the nine pairs of twins are the most favored by King Yan among the palace maids except for Xin'er's four daughters, and even the skirts prepared by Xin'er for them are a grade higher than the other maids, even if they are taught in the palace, the treatment is better than them, and they are all taught in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Looking at the graceful dancing of the twins, Yang Shiyan was a little surprised: "Xin'er, are you training them to compete with you for favor in front of Your Highness?" ”

Ling'er and Mei'er instantly reacted when they heard this, and they looked at Xin'er, who had always been regarded as their sister, with some puzzled eyes.

Xin'er showed a meaningful smile, "Since ancient times, which man has not been three wives and four concubines, let alone the prince and the talented Xun Jun?" Instead of trying to keep Jun Xun's heart on himself, it is better to push and pull appropriately. ”

"Push and pull ......" Ling'er Mei'er looked at Xin'er with a confused expression.

Yang Shiyan was stunned for a moment, realized the true meaning, smiled and tightened her clothes, pushed Yang Huanniang, who also didn't know what she meant, and turned away, after all, it was quite cold outside.

"Sister Xin'er, can you elaborate on what push and pull is?"

Seeing that Xin'er was about to leave, Ling'er and Mei'er stepped forward to ask.

In Jun Xun's heart, a beautiful woman who can sing and dance is just entertainment, a group of vases that can only serve men, and will not occupy too much place in his heart. What really occupies a position in Jun Xun's heart is not only to be beautiful, to be able to sing and dance, but most importantly, to be able to help him share his worries. This is the source of our Secretariat's transcendent position in the Treasury. ”

Xin'er whispered, and pointed at Ling'er and Mei'er in a serious voice, telling them how to maintain their position in Li Yu's heart.

In Xin'er's view, it is not enough for women to be beautiful and please men, because there are many women in this world who are more beautiful than them and can please men. How not to be replaced by other women, you have to grasp the needs of a man's heart and become the woman he needs. Just like today's queen, it is a woman that a saint cannot live without, and a woman who is irreplaceable what a saint really needs.

Xin'er wouldn't have thought that when she warned Ling'er Mei'er, although she lowered her voice to prevent it from being heard by outsiders, she was still heard by a little maid on the side of the wall.

After seeing Xin'er and the others walking away, the little maid patted her rather majestic chest and gasped lightly, "I didn't expect Xin'er's scheming to be so deep, and she actually counted His Highness's thoughts." ”

The little maid lifted her chin and sighed: "It's been two years since I came to the mansion, and it's still too late for Xin'er to be by His Highness's side." ”

As if thinking of something, the little maid swept away the gloom on her face, and jumped her little feet to find Li Yu.

At this time, Li Yu was pondering how artemisinin, a special medicine for malaria, was refined in later generations, and a baby-faced little maid with baby fat on her cheeks looked cute and came to report something.

Li Yu was surprised, what could she, a little maid who stayed in the mansion all year round, come to report something?

Usually, the little maids came to see him just to ask him what he wanted to eat today so that the dining room could prepare, and then take this opportunity to hook him up to see if there was a chance to be included in the room by Li Yu.

Li Yu was happy, and responded to the hookup of the little maids with great interest, flirting with them, and letting the little maids blush before letting them go.

After all, there is no one who can be favored by Li Yu to be a maid in the mansion with a look lower than the nine-point standard, and her posture is also graceful, when she is eighteen or nineteen years old, she is definitely a slim and beautiful girl, and she is the kind of beast blood boiling when she sees it.
