Chapter 61: The King Is Not Happy
Although he couldn't see Ruan Lingwei, when he thought that his sweetheart lived in it, and there was only a wall between him at the moment, Xiao Chengyu was very happy in his heart.
instantly felt that his imperial uncle was very good.
Although the imperial uncle warned him not to leave Ningxi Hall and not to go to Gyeongbokgung Palace to see Ruan Lingwei, he took her on this road to get closer to his sweetheart.
Uncle Huang is so good!
Of course, Xiao Liyan didn't know what Xiao Chengyu was thinking.
His nose was sharp, and as soon as he walked under the tree he had climbed before, he smelled the fragrance wafting from the yard.
It's still so early, and Ruan Lingwei's girl is having dinner?
Didn't Li Mo say that they wouldn't make dinner by themselves today, but went to the imperial dining room to ask for a banquet?
The people in the Imperial Dining Room are so nice? Delivered so early?
Of course, the imperial chefs in the palace, even if they are not dedicated to cooking for the emperor, are also outstanding in cooking.
It's just that he has been eating it for so many years, and he has long been a little tired, so he feels that the food in the palace is like this, and when he encounters the things that Ruan Lingwei has never eaten, he feels fresh and delicious.
After arriving at Ningxi Hall, Xiao Liyan looked at the table and immediately frowned.
"Where's dinner?"
"If you go back to the prince, dinner will be delivered in two quarters of an hour." The little eunuch who came in with tea hurriedly said.
Xiao Liyan couldn't help frowning after hearing this.
Why has Ruan Lingwei already delivered it there, but he hasn't delivered it here yet?
He is the emperor's uncle, isn't he more powerful than a little concubine?
Of course, Li Mo knew what his master was thinking.
The prince of their family has been a little abnormal in the past few days, anyway, in Li Mo's opinion, this is the case.
The prince was not a person who liked to take advantage of his appetite before, but recently he has completely changed.
"Lord Wang, Ruan Cairen's side must have sent some money and ordered food for the imperial dining room, so it was delivered early." Li Mo said in a low voice.
"How can this be reasonable, this palace is actually a place to look at silver and talk, why didn't this king know before?" Xiao Liyan slapped the table and said loudly.
When Li Mo heard this, he didn't know what to say for an instant.
After all, the prince of his own family is the first emperor of the first emperor...... The youngest of all the sons was favored at birth, and later came to the first emperor to succeed to the throne, killing many brothers, leaving only the youngest brother of their family, the prince, who loved him as much as his son.
The prince has never suffered or suffered, so he naturally doesn't know the darkness in this palace.
"That's it, the world is as black as a crow, and there is no difference between inside and outside this palace, or even more terrifying." Xiao Liyan said as he sat down on a chair and picked up a book to flip through it.
"Don't let Haiyi and Hairong go out of the palace, tell the two of them to keep an eye on Xiao Chengyu for this king, don't let him go to Gyeongbokgung Palace." Xiao Liyan also whispered.
"Yes." Li Mo responded and hurriedly went to make arrangements.
In Gyeongbokgung Palace, everyone gathered in the courtyard.
Because Ruan Lingwei is now a talented person, it is a great joy for them, so, at Ruan Lingwei's request, everyone sat down at a table to eat.
"Don't be restrained, if you are distracted during the meal, you will have indigestion and stomach pain." Ruan Lingwei said with a smile.
"Yes." Everyone nodded hurriedly.
This table was made by Yun Shen according to the taste of his own lady, and he specially spent money to give it to the imperial dining room, and the taste was naturally good.
The sun had just set, and their table was propped up under a big tree in the courtyard, and the breeze was blowing at the moment, which was cool and comfortable.
Yunshu also put a small incense burner next to it, and the incense burning in it has the effect of repelling mosquitoes.
Of course, this thing is not in Ruan Lingwei's case, it was bought from the Ministry of Internal Affairs for money.
As for the effect? Of course, it is not as good as her cousin Su Qiming's special medicinal incense, which not only has the effect of repelling mosquitoes, but is also useful for dealing with other insects and snakes.
In the past, Ruan Lingwei was in the Hou Mansion, and she used the incense bait made by Su Qiming herself.
After dinner, it was not yet dark, Ruan Lingwei went into the house to take a look at a book, but found that there were only a few books in the dormitory, which were not good at all.
She entered the palace as an eight-rank royal maid that day, and according to the rules, she couldn't bring anything at all, she only packed some important things, and there were no books at all, and these books were still in the palace.
"Niangniang, Tianlu Pavilion is a big study in the palace, different from the imperial study, the imperial study can only be used by the emperor, Tianlu Pavilion harem ladies can also go, if you want to read, you can go over there to take a look, if you like it, you can let the little eunuch find a new one for the talent, if it is a lone book, you can't take it, but you can let the eunuch who waits there copy a copy." Yichun said with a smile.
After all, they have been in this palace for a few years, so they naturally know more than Ruan Lingwei and the three of them.
"I see." Ruan Lingwei nodded after hearing this: "Yun Shen and Ping'an will accompany me on a trip." ”
Both of them have kung fu in their bodies, and they have a lot of strength, so it's no problem to bring more books back, and the pace is fast, so you can go early and return early.
"Yes." The two smiled and nodded.
It was not yet dark, but they carried lanterns when they went out.
Tianlu Pavilion is far away from here, and when they come back after selecting books, it must be late at night, and lanterns will be needed at that time.
Tianlu Pavilion was not within the scope of the harem, in the northwest corner of the palace, far away from Gyeongbokgung Palace, where Ruan Lingwei lived, even if the three of them walked quickly, they walked for three quarters of an hour to arrive.
"Our family wants to find a few books to read, and I hope that my father-in-law will make it convenient." Ping'an looked at the steward eunuch who came forward, and according to Ruan Lingwei's previous instructions, he stuffed a silver ingot, and said with a smile.
The steward eunuch's surname is Chang, and after receiving the reward, he smiled, bowed and said: "Ruan Cairen, please, what book does Cairen like, even if he is told, the servants immediately asked the little eunuchs to put the book on their backs and send it to Ruan Cairen to Gyeongbokgung Palace." ”
The news of Ruan Lingwei's promotion from a little royal maid to a talented person has long spread throughout the harem.
Even if she has not yet slept and is not favored by the emperor, she can be promoted.
What does this mean?
It shows that the concubine doesn't like her sister as rumored, otherwise how would she help her get promoted?
The concubine Niangniang is the actual ruler and mistress of this harem, with her protecting Ruan Lingwei, where do these minions dare to make a mistake in front of her?
Even if she doesn't give a reward, people have to wait carefully.
Tianlu Pavilion is very large, two stories high, and the simple and elegant bookshelves are full of books, and they are also divided into categories.
Although the division is not very detailed, it is not bad.
Ruan Lingwei looked at it slowly, as long as it was a book she liked, it was like Yun Shen taking a note of it.
She chose more than 100 books for half an hour before stopping.
