Chaolu nodded, "Don't worry, I'm not so easy to deceive, there are a few points of truth and some falsehood in this harem, and I still have a rod and scale in my heart." ”

Nian Xuehua also nodded, "In this way, the slave can rest assured, after all, you are still young, and you have received such grace as soon as you enter the palace, there must be some people in the harem who are jealous and hateful to you, these are very normal, as long as you keep a normal heart, little master." ”

"Yes, I've been talking about this for a long time, and I'm a little hungry." Chaolu touched her belly, obviously deflated, and Shaobai immediately went down to bring her some snacks.

"Little master, these are all fresh snacks just made in the kitchen, and they are still hot, you can try them." Shaobai is obviously not much older than Chaolu, watching Chaolu pick up a piece of dim sum and put it in his mouth to taste, he also has a very satisfied expression.

However, Chaolu has never liked to eat by herself, and others are watching from the sidelines, so she also beckoned the three of them to taste it with her.

At the beginning, the three of them naturally refused all the time, how could this work? In the harem, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, the three of them are slaves and maids, so naturally they can't eat the things of the little master, but later Chaolu has been insisting, and said that it is only when outsiders are not there, "The three of you watched me eat, and I was embarrassed to eat!" They carefully pinched a piece of snack.

Asaro stared at them with burning eyes and asked, "Is it delicious?" What do you think? Still appetizing? ”

These questions suddenly made their hearts feel warm, and there are many masters in this harem who will reward the minions with something, but like Chaolu, not only let them eat with her, but also ask them how they feel, that is really the first one!

The three of them all quietly thought in their hearts that they must do their best to repay Chaolu and repay the warmth she brought to them in the harem.

As long as Chaolu doesn't send them away, then they will always serve Chaolu, after all, they are too lucky to meet such a master in this harem.

Sure enough, that night, Li Ting recruited Chaolu to go to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and when he had dinner with him, he told him that the two days were the family banquet, "I guess the minions around you have already told you, it stands to reason that this banquet is nothing special, but this is the first time you have participated in the palace since you entered the palace, so I'm really afraid that you will be nervous and tell you in advance." ”

Chaolu nodded, "It's true that my aunt next to me has already told me that it's not too nervous, but Chaolu is afraid that she won't behave well at that time, will she embarrass the emperor?" ”

"Although it is true that there will be ministers and princes on that day, it is still in the form of a family banquet, but it is ...... Just treat it as if you were a gentle country person to eat together, there's nothing to be nervous about, and there's nothing like behaving well! Li Ting comforted her.

However, when it comes to Gentle Township, it makes Chaolu a little nostalgic, it has been a few days, and I haven't heard the news of Gentle Township, and I don't know how Ziming and Shunzi will take care of Gentle Township now?

She believed that the two of them had this ability, but she couldn't watch Wen Rouxiang grow stronger step by step, which made her a little regretful.

Chaolu was silent for a while, lowered his head, and took another dish with chopsticks, but suddenly heard Li Ting ask, "Chaolu's family banquet, do you want to be closer to me one day?" ”

Chao Lu immediately understood what he meant, if there was a queen at the family banquet in the past, then the queen must be sitting next to the emperor, but from then on, it was the concubine's seat that was postponed to the bottom, Li Ting meant to ask her if she wanted to sit closer to her, these can be the emperor's will.

Chaolu put down her chopsticks, looked at Li Ting and said, "Yu Private, the concubines naturally hope to be able to sit as close to the emperor as possible." Only by the emperor's side can Chaolu have a sense of security. It's just that if Yu Gong said, this seat has always been arranged according to the status of the concubine, and the concubine is just a newcomer when she first enters the palace, how can she be close to the emperor? ”

Li Ting held Chaolu's hand, looked at her and said, "Chaolu, as long as you want, you can." ”

Chaolu was very moved, "Your Majesty, Chaolu knows your mind, and the emperor can also understand Chaolu's mind, that's enough, what is this position, Chaolu really doesn't care!" ”

"What if I say I care? If I want you to be closer, would you like to come here? ”

"The concubines are naturally one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand willing, as long as the emperor says it, even if the concubine is separated from you by thousands of mountains and mountains, the concubine will definitely be able to have the determination to turn over, and then go to the emperor You, just ......" Chaolu lowered his head, looking very lonely.

Li Ting suddenly thought clearly about what must have happened, otherwise she wouldn't have asked her to refuse to speak like this, "What happened to landing, can't I know it?" What did we agree on? Don't keep secrets from each other, are you going to break that promise in the first place? ”

"No, Your Majesty!" Chaolu heard that Li Ting had misunderstood him, and retorted with some excitement, "No, Your Majesty, the concubine has never thought of hiding anything from you!" ”

Li Ting also knew that it was absolutely impossible for Chaolu to hide any secrets from him, but he was afraid that he had heard some rumors and bad things about himself, so he didn't want to say it to himself, "What happened?" Is it something that others have said that you are like this, talk to me. Well? ”

Chaolu lowered his head, his eyes were already silently red, "Your Majesty, the concubine just doesn't want you, I don't want you to be said to be a faint monarch...... The concubine also knows that she is not a particularly good official lady, so she will always suffer criticism from others, but the concubine has been working hard, hoping not to bring this criticism to the emperor...... Just ......"

"Bold! Who would dare to say that I am a faint king!? Li Ting was angry, I am afraid that he did not go to the early court that day, so he was heard by others, gossiped, and then reached Chaolu's ears, "I just didn't go to the early court that day, which of the ministers in the court didn't ask me if my body was healthy, who told you this?!" ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine knows that all this is the fault of the concubine, otherwise no one would say this about you, Your Majesty!" Chaolu was just raising her head, and Li Ting found that her face was already covered with tears, and she suddenly felt distressed again.

"How so? How could this be your fault? That's because I'm really tired, so I don't want to go to the early court, what does this have to do with you? Isn't it? What kind of demon concubine do other people say you are? Isn't it? ”

Chao Lu choked and nodded, and Li Ting suddenly knew that this has always been the case in this harem, and it doesn't matter whether he can say it or not, but there are only a few words that can be spoken, so it is used on the concubines over and over again. However, Chaolu is still young and has only just entered the palace, and he must be uncomfortable in his heart when he hears these words.
