The new emperor ascended the throne on a sunny morning, Situ Ling comforted the ancestors in the Taimiao Temple and solemnly took over the jade seal from his father, and also took over the important task of governing the country.

The Emperor Taishang moved to the new Hebien on the outskirts of the city with his concubines, and gave the huge palace to the new emperor, because Situ Ling had just come of age and had not had time to choose a concubine, so the palace became a little empty, but this is all temporary, presumably after the prince's mourning period has passed, the palace will begin to choose concubines.

So everyone who has a school-age daughter in the family is looking forward to it, waiting for that day to come, so that their daughter can take the family to prosper.

"Are you leaving? Isn't it good to stay two more days? Situ Ling, who was trapped alone in the palace, pulled Lu Youzhen's sleeve and said pitifully.

Situ Ling has already said this sentence for the third time, Lu You Zhennian has to provoke heavy worries at his young age, and the return date of going back has been delayed again and again, now it is March of Yangchun, Su Yun's housewarming wine has been drunk, and they are still staying in the capital, but this time it really can't be delayed, the marriage of Su Wenqin, the eldest brother of the Su family, is scheduled for early May, and Lu Zhou will marry Su Tong in July, Su Xi hurried home to help!

Situ Ling also knew that he really couldn't keep it this time, so he told Lu Youzhen and Su Xi to come to the capital often to see him, and the two naturally agreed.

"I have something I want to ask my cousin for help," Situ Ling didn't say anything but glanced at Su Xi twice, the meaning was self-evident, Su Xi pouted and went to the garden by himself.

Situ Ling took out an ink-colored jade plate from his arms and said: "I first ascended the throne, although there are many people around me, I don't know how many people can believe it, only my cousin, I trust it very much, I hope my cousin can accept this token." ”

"What is this?"

"That day, the eldest sister forced the palace, and the rescue soldiers that my uncle went to move were it," Situ Ling said: "Although the Longtu cavalry betrayed the father, the power it brought was what we needed, so the father selected the elite in the army to form a team again, they will be more powerful than the Longtu cavalry, the upper horse is the invincible cavalry, and the dismounted is the brave and resolute warrior, which has been witnessed that day." ”

Lu You was really shocked, and excused himself and said: "Such an important power, the emperor should hold it in his hands, how can he hand it over to others at will?" The minister did not dare to take it. ”

"It's because it's important that my cousin keeps it for me," Situ Ling sighed, "As an emperor, I know what it means to be isolated, most of the people around me have various purposes, and I don't know when I touched whose interests led to the murder, these people are the last line of defense of the Banyue Kingdom and the first chance of life for my Situ Ling, if my cousin doesn't want to save me, who else will save me?" Cousin Mo is going to excuse himself again. ”

"This ......"

Seeing that Lu Youzhen was still hesitant, Situ Ling promised: "Cousin doesn't need to be trapped in the capital, just dispatch them for me when I need them most." Just keep it for me for a few years, and then return it to me when I find someone else I can trust, my cousin? ”

"Okay, the minister will always support the emperor." Lu Youzhen took the jade card and solemnly promised.

Situ Ling said hello three times in a row, and smiled and asked people to prepare wine and food to drink Lu Youzhen ate and drank happily, who knew that a little chamberlain ran over and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, you should go to class, Mrs. Lu has already entered the palace." ”

Mrs. Lu is Lu Zhou, the Emperor appointed him to be the teacher of the new emperor, the old gentleman who has learned too much is not convinced, and thinks that Lu Zhou is too young to be the emperor's teacher, so the Emperor Taishang asked Lu Zhou to discuss with the gentlemen of Taixue, don't look at Lu Zhou's usual silence, when quoting scriptures, he doesn't know how much to slip away, his erudition and strong knowledge make gentlemen admire, and then no one questions him.

Listening to the little eunuch's reminder, Situ Ling couldn't laugh anymore, spread his hands towards Lu Youzhen, and walked towards the imperial study resignedly.

Besides, Su Xi, she often accompanies Lu Youzhen to the palace recently, and she has long been familiar with the road to the imperial garden, but it is quite boring to go shopping alone. Suddenly she heard a familiar voice, which seemed to be calling her, and she turned around and saw a man dressed as a palace maid walking briskly towards her, and it was actually a splendid one.

"Miss is fine, I haven't seen you for a long time, Miss is fine." Jinxiu bowed to her, her posture was quite beautiful, and she thought that she had worked hard to practice.

Su Xi was also pleasantly surprised, and asked her with a smile: "It turned out to be Jinxiu, how are you doing in the palace?" Why haven't I seen you at the emperor's place? ”

Jinxiu said: "Miss To's blessing, everything is fine with the slave maid, it is the Empress Dowager Fu who wants the slave maid to enter the palace, and the slave maid is naturally serving by the side of the Empress Dowager, and she has been living with the Niang Niang in the other garden recently, so it is naturally rare to have the opportunity to see the young lady." ”

Jinxiu stood there with low eyebrows, her temperament was very different from the past, and she was even more ...... Restrained?

Looking at her again, although she is a palace maid, her clothes are new, her makeup is exquisite, and the workmanship of the two beaded flowers between her temples is also very fine, which is not something that ordinary palace maids can have. Su Xi thought, Lu Youzhen really saw it accurately, Jinxiu is a person who is thoughtful and willing to learn, and he can indeed live well anywhere.

Su Xi only saw the splendid scenery, where did she think about the difficulties when she first entered the court.

Concubine Zhen was afraid that she would bring her son badly, so she was not allowed to meet Situ Ling in private, and put her in the palace as the lowest palace maid, and anyone could come and step on both feet. She was afraid that Situ Ling would upset her and annoy Concubine Zhen so that she would have no chance to get ahead, and every time she was allowed to see Situ Ling, she pretended to be doing well.

She swallowed all the pain, put away her ambition and claws, to please those powerful old women, and whenever she had a chance to breathe, she learned the manners of those palace ladies talking and walking, and gradually became a celebrity around Concubine Zhen and the current Empress Dowager Fu.

Jinxiu naturally didn't tell Su Xi about this, she said: "The slave maid came to visit the emperor today on the order of the queen mother, and brought some snacks made by the mother to the emperor, but she happened to meet the young lady." ”

"Yes, I was worried about you for a long time when you entered the palace, but now I am relieved to see your radiant face." Su Xi thought for a while and asked, "The emperor is about to choose a concubine, what are your plans?" ”

Jinxiu's smile stiffened for a moment, and there was a trace of sorrow between her eyebrows, she said: "Jinxiu is just born in the countryside, fortunately I can see the prosperity of the capital when I meet the young lady, and I can meet the emperor like a fairy figure like Zhilan Yushu, Jinxiu doesn't dare to hope for anything, and I am content to be by the emperor's side." ”

Su Xi chuckled twice, shook his head and said, "You have learned the words 'prudent words and deeds' in the palace, but you have learned well, since you know enough, so be it." ”

After Su Xi finished speaking, she took care of herself and walked around the garden, Jinxiu only hesitated for a moment before she ran to Su Xi and knelt down and kowtowed, and said with tears in her eyes: "Miss...... Miss has a noble status, so she naturally doesn't know the difficulties of a low-level palace maid like a slave maid who has no background in the palace, so please forgive the slave and maid for their deception. ”

"You are a celebrity next to the Empress Dowager Fu, what do you say about kneeling me? Hurry up. ”

Jinxiu refused, leaned at Su Xi's feet and continued: "The slave maid was stubborn when she was a child, and she was a little ignorant of the heavens and the earth, Miss was kind and tolerant of the slave and maid everywhere, and the slave and maid had today, and the slave and maid did not dare to forget the great kindness of the young lady." Today, the slave and maid cheekily begged the young lady to help the slave and maid again, the slave and maid ...... The slave is not reconciled. ”

In the spring of the second year of Tianhe, the Empress Dowager Fu returned to the palace to preside over the draft for the emperor, which lasted half a year...... The sister of Mrs. Xiaoyaohou, Su Shi Jinxiu, is Shuyuan......
