Chapter 230: Embarrassed
Ying Jiarong carefully took off his coat, changed into the brocade shoes that were wet with soil, and quickly threw them under the pile of fallen leaves on the flower stand before daring to return to the room.
It's raining outside, if other people see her mud-stained brocade shoes, I'm afraid it's hard to explain where to go, when Ying Jiarong was panicking and preparing to enter the room, a figure suddenly appeared on the corridor, the autumn breeze outside hit people, blowing the lanterns hanging on the corridor, the candle was blown in a trance faintly, looking along the light, it was a figure standing under the corridor.
When did it come?!
Ying Jiarong's eyes widened, his pupils were slightly open, and he only felt that his heart was about to hang in his throat, and his body stood stiffly and swallowed his saliva.
That figure still knows himself?!
He also called out his name directly.
The figure slowly approached from under the corridor, and Ying Jiarong also saw the appearance of the person clearly by candlelight, right......
Lu Chengxuan?!
How long has she been standing?
How many do you see?
The light in their dormitory room under the corridor was dim, so Ying Jiarong didn't notice anyone when he came back, but Ying Jiarong was standing under the corridor, and there was a lantern under the corridor, and the people standing outside the dormitory room could see him.
Ying Jiarong's heart was beating so hard that he didn't dare to answer at all, and even subconsciously held his breath, but Lu Chengxuan was getting closer and closer to him.
Lu Chengxuan was just dressed in a robe, her long black hair was scattered on her shoulders without any restraints, and her unpowdered face was still delicate and beautiful, at this time, Liu Mei was frowning gently, looking at Ying Jiarong suspiciously, and called softly, "Jiarong, what's wrong with you?" ”
Obviously, the person standing under the corridor is Ying Jiarong, why didn't he respond at all after hearing his shout, and he still stood motionless?
It's just that it was dark at the time, otherwise Lu Chengxuan would definitely be able to see the hint of the expression on Ying Jiarong's face, but even so, Lu Chengxuan was also puzzled in his heart, "It's windy and raining outside, why don't you go in?" ”
Ying Jiarong looked embarrassed, lame and weak-hearted and avoided answering, "Cheng...... Cheng Xuan, it's you, why haven't you slept yet? ”
Lu Chengxuan smiled indifferently, "I'm going to go to the toilet." ”
Toilet......
Right.
It's going to the toilet.
Ying Jiarong's eyes flickered, and he also smiled, "I just came back from going to the toilet, Cheng Xuan, then you have to hurry, otherwise I'm afraid that the rain will get heavier and heavier!" ”
"Good!"
Lu Chengxuan's eyelids raised slightly and didn't say much, "Let's go, you should go back early, don't catch a cold!" ”
After the words fell, Lu Chengxuan stopped looking at Ying Jiarong and walked towards the corridor, Ying Jiarong breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly returned to his room, and closed the door.
It was just a moment of effort, and Ying Jiarong, who was leaning against the door and was paralyzed, found that he was already sweating profusely, but fortunately, Lu Chengxuan came out late and didn't notice her previous movements, otherwise, she really couldn't say what she was doing!
Ying Jiarong wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, got up again and returned to his couch.
And Lu Chengxuan, who was standing in the dark around the corridor, was suspicious.
Although she didn't directly respond to Jiarong to the end on the surface, but in her heart she was still suspicious, Ying Jiarong's reaction during this time was obviously a little abnormal, not to mention that her personality was that kind of Wennuo introvert when she first came, that is, she has always been mysteriously with Miao Lele recently, which is surprising.
But the two men kept silent about anything.
Now...... Ying Jiarong still got up in the rain in the middle of the night, but there will be an assessment tomorrow! Does she want her own future?
When she just spoke, even if Ying Jiarong was trying her best to endure it, the subconscious fear in her bones was difficult to hide, she was afraid? Afraid of what? Are you scared when you see yourself? Or are you scared because someone suddenly appears?
Lu Chengxuan paused, turned around and looked around where Ying Jiarong was standing, and when he suddenly squatted down, a thunderbolt struck the sky, followed by a lightning bolt, illuminating the steps under the corridor clearly.
"Lots of dirt?!"
In addition to the flower stands raised in front of the palaces, the only thing left is the Imperial Garden.
It was raining at this time, and it would be forgivable if there was a little mud washed away on the road next to it, but it was not raining from their dormitory to the thatched house...... There is only one possibility......
Ying Jiarong went out.
Who are you going to meet?
What to do out there?
Lu Chengxuan's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and she always felt a bad premonition.
——
The sky that had just rained was clear, and it seemed like an endless and calm blue sea.
The yellowing leaves were knocked down by the rain, and the branches of the flowers were bent by the rain, and there was always a bit of gloom in the coolness.
Chengyi Hall regathered the female history palace maids to be selected, and today began for three days to select the different divisions of labor in the Six Shang Bureau, and the people who participated in the assessment can freely choose the subjects they are good at, you can choose only one, or you can choose more than one, no matter what, you must have both abilities, plus the two subjects that must be examined, otherwise you will be demoted to a palace maid, and on the contrary, you will be promoted to become a female history official.
At first, when the selection came to the Liushang Bureau, the division of labor for those female history palace maids was only divided with reference to the one-sided assessment results, so it was inevitable that there would be mistakes, for example, the female history who was good at cooking was assigned to the embroidery room to embroider, and the female history who was good at embroidery was assigned to the classic room to sort out the books.
It's a waste of talent.
The main purpose of the selection is not only to urge the old people and give the new people a chance, but the most important thing is to hope that these female history palace people can clarify their own value through the assessment, where they should be, and give them the opportunity to freely choose their favorite division of labor, which is really very humane.
There are four divisions in the dormitory bureau, and the examination questions for the division are to draw and a design drawing for the layout of the dormitory.
"Cheng Xuan, let's go in together!"
Miao Lele pointed to the assessment dormitory set up by the company, and said to Lu Chengxuan, there are not many vacant official positions in the Liushang Bureau, and the lack of Hao Caiyi in the department is already a convenience for Lu Chengxuan, plus the division Cai Qingyu is very important to Lu Chengxuan, at this time, Lu Chengxuan should not choose other unknowns, there is no doubt about choosing the division and setting up a room.
Sure enough, Lu Chengxuan nodded, the side hall is petite, and the people waiting in the hall are all female histories who work together in the company's room, and there are two faces, after all, the errand of the division room is not a fat difference, nor is it a hot topic, but it also has its benefits.
Lu Chengxuan found his desk and sat down, and drew a lot of parts that the division is responsible for, but the most important thing is to design the placement of the decorations in various parts of the palace for the concubine and the concubine.
Otherwise, it is the beautiful picture that can be imagined in the mind, but it is ignored because it cannot be expressed, and there is suffering.
Can't those mothers and masters give you a chance to let you decorate her bedroom without seeing anything, if you are not satisfied, wouldn't it be a labor force to mobilize the crowd, and make yourself angry?
As for the content of the assessment, it is also very accompanied, and it is not specifically required that the person to be selected draw any fixed pattern and pattern, and you can play it yourself, and the same is true for the design drawings.
Lu Chengxuan's best and favorite is begonia flowers, you don't need to spend too much brains, you can paint directly, during the assessment, Ying Jiarong's eyes glanced at Lu Chengxuan from time to time, the more she looked at Lu Chengxuan's expression in her chest, the more unbalanced and anxious her heart became.
Those who want to block Lu Chengxuan's assessment have been successfully resolved by her, and if they can't rely on others, they can only do it themselves.
Ying Jiarong's eyes moved away from Lu Chengxuan's body, and turned to look at Miao Lele's body, racking his brains to think about how to open his mouth and stimulate Miao Lele to make a move on Lu Chengxuan, so that she could make a profit.
The burning incense ended quickly, and after an assessment, time flew by.
Lu Chengxuan and the others walked out of the hall, but the corners of Ying Jiarong's lips hooked up an imperceptible smile, "Lele, how is it?" ”
"Do you have any confidence in the subject after that?"
"Of course, I'm afraid I can't get promoted if I want to, but it's okay to continue to be a female historian." Miao Lele didn't want to answer, but Ying Jiarong suddenly winked at Miao Lele mysteriously, "No, I see that your mood has been much better recently!" ”
"It's really a pride in love."
was caught off guard by Ying Jiarong when Lu Chenghao was mentioned, and Miao Lele's face was flushed with two touches at that time, and he pushed Ying Jiarong coquettishly, "Jiarong, what are you talking nonsense!" ”
"How can I!"
"You, you, don't admit it, a woman in love is full of happiness all the time, can't I see it!"
"I really envy you, I can find a good candidate like Lu Guard, and Lu Guard's heart also has you in his heart, how good it is to be a concubine......" Ying Jiarong couldn't help but sigh, "And Cheng Xuan, your friend, I'm afraid that your sister-in-law is decided!" ”
Miao Lele's face became more and more red, as if it was a ripe apple, and it was not hot, "Jiarong, you ...... I'm going to be mad if you make fun of me again! ”
"I'm not going to be with you!"
Miao Lele pretended to be angry and stomped his feet.
Ying Jiarong apologized again and again and begged for mercy, "Okay, okay, my fault, I won't say it!" ”
"But are they telling the truth?"
"Cheng Xuan has such a good relationship with her brother, even the red rope she carries is the same, with her, if she is willing to help you, then you must get twice the result with half the effort!" Ying Jiarong was a little aggrieved, "Fortunately, you met Cheng Xuan, if other sisters and sisters have a bad relationship, they can't help you even if they want to!" ”
Miao Lele originally wanted to nod, but after hearing Ying Jiarong's turn, he looked at Ying Jiarong with puzzled eyes, "Aren't brothers and sisters all have a good relationship, besides, Cheng Xuan and Lord Lu are such kind-hearted people." ”
Ying Jiarong suddenly had a serious expression and booed at Miao Lele, "Silly Lele, why did you forget, the children and sisters of the Lu family, it's not just Cheng Xuan and Lord Lu." ”
"And ...... Shuyuan Niangniang, Shuyi Niangniang, and even Mrs. Guifei are all Cheng Xuan's sisters! ”
Speaking of the Lu family, Lu Yuancheng should be the luckiest person in the court.
Lu Yuancheng himself has a weak personality and has no ability to do things, but his fate is good, his younger brother is the big Sima who leans towards the government and the opposition, and the concubine is the emperor's favored concubine's wife, and he stubbornly propped up Lu Yuancheng's official position, thinking that this could be stopped.
Don't want to...... During the draft, Lu Yuancheng actually sent four more daughters to the palace, which is good, the most daughters of their Lu family are counted in the court, and they are all excellent, which is really envious and jealous.
In addition to Lu Chengyin, there are also Lu Chenghuan and Lu Chengxue, who are also noble.
Ying Jiarong said this, which made Miao Lele suddenly realize, "By the way, how did I forget, Cheng Xuan is also surnamed Lu!" ”
Who in the palace doesn't know that the surname Lu is noble, and there are many sisters in the Lu family, so if you don't look at the momentum, you also have to look at the personal field to give a few thin faces, "How Jiarong, isn't the relationship between Cheng Xuan and those mothers bad?" ”
Ying Jiarong twisted his eyebrows, thought for a moment and said, "It should be bad, otherwise...... Otherwise, when did they come to see Cheng Xuan, Cheng Xuan never mentioned them! ”
Miao Lele's heart tightened, "It seems to be ...... That is true! ”
In terms of conscience, although Lu Chengxuan's age is young, her appearance is very outstanding, even more than those selected Lu beauties, Lu Shuyuan and Lu Guifei are much better, and only that Lu Shuyi can compete with her, if it is about talent, I am afraid that Lu Chengxuan will be far ahead.
But why.
Why did Lu Chengxuan lose the election?
I don't think it's strange when I don't think about some problems, but when I think about them, I will find a lot of problems.
Especially a woman who is delicate and likes to think more, she will think more.
Miao Lele's red lips opened slightly, and he looked around vigilantly, "Speaking of this, Jiarong, don't you think that Cheng Xuan was not selected, there is another hidden reason!" ”
"Isn't it...... Is it because she was framed that she is like this? ”
Now there is only this possibility, after all, according to the emperor's personality preferences, he will never choose Lu Chengxuan, but she has become a female history, there must be some unsightly secret in this!
"Definitely!"
Ying Jiarong didn't think about it, "If you want to gain a foothold in the harem, how can you do it without some means!" ”
"Even if they are sisters, there are those who fight for the emperor's favor, and there are countless fights, not to mention that Cheng Xuan is not a mother, and it is normal to calculate behind it."
"Besides, even if they are sisters, there is a difference between distant and close relatives, just like Shuyi Niangniang and Shuyuan Niangniang have a very close relationship, and Cheng Xuan and Lord Lu have a close relationship between brothers and sisters."
