Chapter 134: Happy New Year
But the expression on Lu Chengxue's face did not fluctuate.
The onlookers all dispersed and went back to their rooms, and Luo Nushi also retired and was busy with other things.
Lu Chengwan looked at Lu Chengxuan's eyes with more and more admiration, and even more longing, "Fifth sister, you are really amazing." β
"If only I could be like you sometime."
In Lu Chengwan's eyes, Lu Chengxuan is calm, courageous, long-term, always able to judge the situation, and smart and witty.
Even Lu Chenghuan, who has been pampered since childhood, is incomparable in front of Lu Chengxuan, and they are also the concubines of the Lu family, but she is very different from Lu Chengxuan, which is really regrettable.
Lu Chengxuan smiled indismissibly.
If possible, Lu Chengxuan would rather change identities with Lu Chengwan.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with Lu Chengwan's identity as a concubine, marrying does not necessarily have to pay attention to the identity of the family, as long as you can choose a lover who treats you sincerely, the rest of your life will be happy and smooth, even if the two of them struggle together, it is nothing, clear porridge and side dishes, coarse tea and light rice, without the deceit of the high-ranking families, open and secret fighting, life will be comfortable and happy.
It's not like she's ...... right now
Whether it is the skills learned or the experience mastered, they are all struggling step by step with blood and tears, stepping on the nail board, and full of mess.
"You will too."
Lu Chengxuan shook her head gently, the harem is a big dye vat, if you want to live in it, you have to make changes, the current Lu Chengwan is still too childish to be on the stage, but if she stays in the palace for a long time, she will either be calculated and fall out of favor to death, or she will become one of those concubines who are very deep in the city.
Nothing surprising.
It's just that I don't know if Lu Chengwan will still be in such a mood of envy at that time.
Lu Chengwan looked at Lu Chengxuan happily, "Really? β
"Fifth sister, can you give me the sachet in your hand!"
"I think it's beautiful, but I can't embroider your aura." Lu Chengwan crampedly sent the sachet hanging from her waist in front of Lu Chengxuan, "Fifth sister, don't laugh at me." β
Zhang's family was born in a hard family, and there are embroidery skills, but most of them are to beg for living subsidies for the family, plus they have little knowledge, and the daughter who has been trained is naturally less knowledgeable, as for the aura...... Only when the level of understanding of a thing has reached a certain peak, will there be an epiphany of the word aura.
Lu Chengxuan glanced at the pattern embroidered by Lu Chengwan.
Most of the women's hearts have beautiful thoughts about love, Lu Chengwan embroidered mandarin ducks playing in the water, it is true that it is not aura, but it is also delicate and delicate, presumably Lu Chengwan also spent a lot of effort.
"I'll give it to you."
Lu Chengxuan handed the embroidered sachet in his hand to Lu Chengwan's hand, "You can put some mosquito repellent herbs in it, or blood coagulation and nourishing herbs, and the effect of wearing it on your body is not bad." β
Safflower has a significant effect, even if the amount used in mealworms is not too much, it can damage the body when taken every day,...... I hope Lu Chengwan can have an epiphany by herself.
Lu Chengwan was flattered and took the sachet.
Gong Leadhua was taken to punishment, and Gao Gao Yu won this victory, but everything was not over yet, the real battle in the harem had just begun, and the speed of the attack was getting faster and faster.
It was only in the morning that the time for stealing was solved, and there was another turmoil at dinner.
In the past, they ate a good meal, but after the maids used it today, many people had rashes, their faces were red, swollen and itchy, and some of them were in bad condition......
Hu Yanhua frowned and took away those who were sick, and before he found out what the reason was, he was afraid that he would not send them back, as well as those suspected maids...... He was also locked up.
In this way, the opportunity to be assessed was lost, and the opportunity to appear in front of the emperor was lost......
From the more than 400 people who have just entered the palace in the primary election, to the eve of the current assessment, there are less than 80 left.
All kinds of excuses have been eliminated, and they have never stopped.
The maiden who was still beautiful the day before was dragged away in embarrassment the day after that, and the day and night were unpredictable, and the blessings and misfortunes were unpredictable.
This is the harem.
ββ
The twilight sky slowly drooped with fine rain threads, layers of clouds and rain obscured the rising sun, and the scenery near and far was shrouded in misty rain and mist, and the whole palace seemed to be in a dream.
After breakfast, it has been raining in the spring.
However, the assessment time that has been set cannot be changed.
The maids were dressed in light pink palace clothes, neatly combed their cross buns, slightly powdered, and carried their skirts, and hurriedly ran towards the agreed assessment palace.
The raindrops were like beads with broken threads, falling on the puddles formed by the rain, sliding through the cracks of the green bricks on the ground.
Lu Chengxuan was not too early when he came, so he could only be ranked back in order.
In the hall of the Hehuan Hall, incense burners were prepared for fine incense.
Hu Yanhua led a group of female historians such as Shanggong Sigong to stand at the top, respectfully facing each other
But the current Lu Chengxuan is a dignified female official of the sixth grade of Zhou Zheng.
She wants to deal with a concubine who has made a mistake, and she really doesn't need to explain and justify.
Fighting is fighting, and there is no need for Zhao Yiling to fake here.
"It doesn't matter if Lord Zhao is blind and blind, then don't pretend to be a good person here, in the end, you will only end up in a situation where you are not a human being, Cheng Xuan still has something, so she won't accompany her!"
Lu Chengxue looked at Zhao Yiling with rain, "Uncle......"
Zhao Yiling pursed his lips, but his momentum was very low.
Lu Chengxue stopped crying,
"The sixth girl calculated me once, my aunt humiliated me once, and I also cheated the six girls, if my aunt doesn't mind, we should settle it."
Lu Chenghao is reborn, in his previous life he was a general, and Qiao Hui was a prostitute who was sent to serve him, but he loved Lu Chenghao's madness.
Lu Chenghao was very well-behaved and obedient when he was a child, but he began to change his temperament after accidentally seeing Zhao Yiyun cheating with others, and he was cynical, and when he was sad, it was Lu Chengxuan who comforted him and took care of her.
"Maybe our mothers have some unavoidable reason to do this."
Lu Chenghao fell deeply in love with Lu Chengxuan,
was reborn in the barracks in this life, and when he came back early, he just wanted to see Lu Chengxuan, but he didn't want Lu Chengxuan to be killed.
Lu Chengxuan only felt that warm tears blocked her vision, and the corners of Lu Chengxuan's mouth raised a smile, "Brother." β
A word brother.
has already frozen the relationship between her and Lu Chenghao.
The closest person is also the person who is no longer possible.
Lu Chenghao laughed lowly, raised his chin high, and didn't let Lu Chengxuan see his reddish eyes.
Lu Chenghao held Lu Chengxuan in his arms domineeringly, and put his chin slightly with a stubble on Lu Chengxuan's forehead.
In just a moment, this warm embrace suddenly loosened, and Lu Chenghao was resolute to leave, without looking back.
Lu Chengxuan pursed her lips, only to feel that the tip of her nose was sour.
Walking on the green jade steps, Lu Chenghao's voice was hoarse, "I have never been a good person, even if I am my sister, but I can't become my favor in vain, a brother wants to send me away like this, is it too naΓ―ve to think about it." β
Lu Chenghao's figure gradually disappeared into the thick night.
Lu Chengxuan looked up, the night was dark, and the huge sky seemed to be a black curtain, leaving only stars hanging in the sky.
"I'm sorry."
She knew that this sentence was the most useless, but she could only give Lu Chenghao these three words, as for other ...... She just can't afford it.
Originally, Lu Chengxuan was still puzzled, with Lu Chenghuan's mind, even if he wanted to frame her, he definitely couldn't imagine that using red bean cake would make her rash and lose the opportunity to run for election, and it was not Lu Chengxue who made a move, and Lu Chengxue would never be so evasive.
Now, Lu Chengxuan understands.
It turned out that there was Lu Chenghao's help behind him.
He never wanted to let himself go deep into the quagmire of the harem, and after finding that he couldn't stop it, he put aside military discipline and military exploits, and resolutely entered the palace as a guard, all to protect him.
ββ
The little medicine boy looked at Lu Chengxuan with some embarrassment, "I didn't expect that there would be such a person in the palace, a person with superb medical skills, a little improvement, can double the value of the medicine in the Imperial Pharmacy." β
Skilled doctors? Improve...... Is the value multiplication effect better?
Listening to what the little medicine boy said inadvertently, it made Lu Chengxuan have doubts in his heart, that is to say, the wound medicine handed over by Lu Chengwan was not only not poisonous, but wanted to help Lu Chengxuan drive away the centipede, avoid her being bitten, or prevent Lu Chengxuan from detecting her abnormality!
"Imperial maid, you should take it together, the two ointments will be applied alternately, the effect will be better!"
For the rest, what the little medicine boy said could not be heard clearly, Lu Chengxuan thanked him and returned to the dormitory in a hurry, and when he went back, Lu Chengwan also came back from outside, sitting at the round table with dinner.
Lu Chengwan beckoned to Lu Chengxuan with a smile, "Seeing that you didn't come back, I took dinner for you and came back, let's go together." β
"Which one do you want?"
Lu Chengxuan adjusted his mood and smiled, "It's okay, it's hard work." β
Lu Chengwan was obviously overjoyed by Lu Chengxuan's smile, "Fifth sister is polite, what do you say, you have to do more on weekdays, I am not in good health, it is difficult for you." β
"By the way, Fifth Sister, where have you been, why did you come back?"
Lu Chengwan's eyes fell on the small medicine bottle in Lu Chengxuan's hand, and she said in surprise, "Are you injured somewhere?" β
Lu Chengxuan shook his head, did not shy away from Lu Chengwan, and put the medicine bottle on the small table by the window, "I am not injured, but I am about to run out of the ointment of the wound medicine you brought back before, and I will go to the imperial pharmacy today to get some back, the weather will get hotter and hotter in the future, and there will be more mosquitoes, so it is always good to be prepared with some ointment!" β
When Lu Chengxuan spoke, her eyes swept on Lu Chengwan's face without a trace, not letting go of any subtle expression on her face.
When she saw the ointment in Lu Chengxuan's hand, Lu Chengwan's pupils subconsciously shrank, and when she heard Lu Chengxuan say that it was just for the summer mosquito prevention, she was relieved to take some back in advance, and the nervousness and discomfort were also covered up.
Lu Chengwan smiled and nodded, "That's true, I also think that the weather is getting hotter and there are more mosquitoes, so I was going to take the time to get some, but I don't want the fifth sister to think carefully and get them back in advance." β
"Fifth sister doesn't mind sharing some of me!"
Lu Chengxuan spread his hands, "Of course, I have prepared some for you." β
Gifts are still exchanged, Lu Chengwan once took medicine for Lu Chengxuan, and it is reasonable for Lu Chengxuan to return some to her.
The dinner was quite pleasant, Lu Chengwan said some interesting things with great interest, which was unprecedented, and Lu Chengxuan could occasionally echo a few words with her temperament.
Seeing the sunset slanting in the west, Lu Chengxuan put ointment on her arm, and went to bed early as always, and Lu Chengwan also pretended to be sleepy and lay on the bed.
Time flies slowly.
Lu Chengxuan tossed and turned on the bed, but her eyes were not closed, silently waiting for the sound of the door being opened, Lu Chengwan would go out at night, if she wanted to know where those mealworms came from, she only needed to follow her to know.
The people behind this, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd can also be detected.
Whether they want to pay back Lu Chengwan, or they want to pay back themselves, or whether both of them are calculating, it is not necessarily.
It's a pity that Lu Chengxuan waited for a long time, and even vaguely heard the third watch of Bangzi patrolling the night outside, and still didn't hear Lu Chengwan getting up, but heard the sound of even breathing...... Lu Chengwan...... Asleep??
Is it because there is an interval between the time of the appointment to go out to meet or because I am worried that I have already smelled the clue and is not worried that I did not go out to the appointment?
With apprehension and speculation, Lu Chengxuan gradually fell asleep with a drowsy head.
Luo Nushi's medicinal powder is really very useful, there are no centipedes around the bed, and even the redness and swelling on her arms have decreased a lot after applying the wound medicine, which really makes Lu Chengxuan breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise so many centipedes around Lu Chengxuan's bedside will really make her have a nervous breakdown......
The assessment of Liushang Palace was close at hand, for three days in a row, Lu Chengxuan didn't dare to sleep at night, and he didn't dare to rest until he was sure that Lu Chengwan was asleep, and Lu Chengwan was also quiet and abnormal, which once made Lu Chengxuan wonder if he was really a soldier......
And the centipedes in the room were not attracted by any medicinal herbs, but the dampness of the room was already there.
When Lu Chengxuan was lying on the bed doubting herself, Lu Chengwan, who had been silent for a long time, finally took action!
With her back to the location of Lu Chengwan's bed, Lu Chengxuan held her breath and listened carefully to the sound, through the silver-white moonlight shining through the window, Lu Chengwan fumbled to put on her clothes, got out of bed carefully, and after making sure that Lu Chengxuan did not move, she gently pushed the door open.
At this time, Lu Chengxuan, who was lying on the bed, was tense, pretending to turn over, quietly opened his eyes, and the figure outside the window swayed.
