Lu Xiyi learned the identities of the two girls through Xiao Shuizi beside him, so he attached more importance to these two girls, and asked someone to accept all the scrolls in the hands of the girls, and there were their signatures under the handles.

"The queen, the emperor is here."

Xiao Tao quietly approached Lu Xiyi's side and whispered to her.

"First ask the emperor to wait for the palace in the Dongnuan Pavilion, and I'll go right away."

"Yes."

Lu Xiyi picked a few relatively favorite pictures and went to Dongnuan Pavilion, Zhong Yihan was sipping tea, and when he saw Lu Xiyi's slender figure, he instantly cheered up.

"You're here."

"The concubines see the emperor."

"Hey, why do you have to make such a big gift between you and me?"

Zhong Yihan groaned slightly, his eyes lit up, he stretched out his hand to help her up, and happened to see Xiao Tao behind Lu Xiyi with a few picture scrolls, quite surprised.

"All those show girls have finished drawing?"

Lu Xiyi sat side by side with Zhong Yihan, looking at his nose and nose, and replied solemnly: "Exactly, I didn't pick a few good ones, let Xiao Tao put it away, and wanted the emperor to see it, in fact, there are already two candidates in the hearts of the concubines." ”

"Now that the queens have been chosen, it is needless to say that I am naturally the same."

Zhong Yihan patted her hand, approached her side and said, "Actually, I came here this time to take you to Qianli Lake for a walk, the water lilies in Qianli Lake have bloomed again, and I have let people plant your favorite imperial lotus." ”

Lu Xiyi was surprised, this imperial lotus grows in the deepest lake, and it is very rare to plant, last time it was just an accidental mention of it, but I didn't expect Zhong Yihan to really remember it in his heart.

"Your Majesty, what should you do if you let the concubines do it, the concubines are just casually mentioned, why do you really want to mobilize the people?"

"For you, this is not called a teacher, as long as you can be happy, I am happier than anyone else."

Zhong Yihan said and laughed, took Lu Xiyi's hand, Lu Xiyi's frown gradually flattened, climbed his solid arm, the two began to drive together to swim Qianli Lake, came to the lake, there was a palace person to guide the way, and moved an imperial lotus over.

"Your Majesty, the lake is so deep, the concubines are afraid of ......"

"What are you afraid of, the planter said that it would be fine, and if something really happens, let them come to me with their heads."

Lu Xiyi glanced at him with disgust, didn't speak, took a small boat to the center of the island, watched the pieces of local imperial lotus, suddenly thought of something, smiled at him and said: "Your Majesty, you see, that imperial lotus blooms really well, as big as a boat." ”

"If the queen likes it, then I'll send you to the top later."

"Your Majesty is used to making fun of you, I heard that a few days ago, the crown princess sent a singer to serve the emperor, but why didn't the emperor let the courtesan stay?" Lu Xiyi had long heard the name of Yingge, in the Moon Picking Pavilion, she sang small songs to make the princess happy, and now the princess is pregnant and has difficulty moving, so she invited the outside singers to listen.

Zhong Yihan tried his best to pretend to be a gentleman with a bright wind and moon, and said angrily: "Looking at the queen's expression, it's a little regretful, isn't it?" That's okay, I'll let Yingge come to bed tonight. As he spoke, he showed a look of disdain, intentionally or unintentionally.

Lu Xiyi gradually restrained her smile, she shouldn't have been so talkative and said something that made the emperor unhappy, but now it was a little difficult to take it back, so she had to pretend to be idle and watch the Imperial Lotus.

Zhong Yihan knew that she was a little angry, so he asked the eunuchs and maids serving behind her to retreat, and while she was not paying attention, he hugged her slender waist like a willow.

"Your Majesty, what is this doing? If you let others see it......"

"Don't worry, it's just you and me here, and there won't be anyone else."

“………”

Lu Xiyi pursed his lips slightly, and said contemptuously: "Didn't the emperor say that Yingge would go to bed tonight?" The concubine hurriedly instructed Yingge to prepare well, so as not to serve the emperor carelessly when he got the time and was accused of being disrespectful. ”

"You, you, look at your temperament is still so coquettish." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and scratched the tip of her nose, Lu Xiyi glanced around, and after confirming that there was no one, he boldly rested his head on his shoulder.

"The concubine is really thinking about the emperor, if the emperor wants Yingge to sleep, the concubine will not complain."

"Don't I know you yet? If I really had anything to do with that Yingge, I'm afraid you would have rushed to Jianzhang Palace in a rage. ”

Lu Xiyi said secretly in her heart: I didn't expect that the beauty trick really didn't work for him, she really wanted to test Zhong Yihan, but she didn't expect Zhong Yihan's characterization to be so strong.

"By the way, Your Majesty, I have seen so many beautiful daughters today, and the concubines have taken a fancy to the two of them, and they think that these two people are good, they can serve the prince, and their family background, appearance, and character are all good."

"I said, the queen is in charge of all these things, and the affairs of the harem make the queen work hard, and the queen has worked hard."

Zhong Yihan put his hand on her shoulder and smiled with satisfaction.

Qiao Biluo and Xu Ruolian walked on the bluestone slab bricks, the broken branches and leaves on the ground had withered, and the cool autumn breeze gradually hit, and when they stepped on it, there was a fragrance mixed with earth, making the air fresh and moist.

"This Wutong Garden looks really barren, as if no one has lived in it for a long time."

Qiao Biluo looked around, and when she heard the news that the two were selected, she was suddenly very happy, but after coming to Wutong Garden, she found that it was very different from what she imagined, and the queen was too harsh, and she actually asked them to live in this Wutong Garden that had been in disrepair for a long time.

"The two beauties have arrived, the two of you will stay in Wutong Garden for the time being, and if you can serve the prince, you can move to the Moon Picking Pavilion."

The father-in-law who took the lead looked very festive, and he was neither humble nor arrogant along the way and led them to Wutong Garden. After resting her feet, Xu Ruolian couldn't wait to take the empty teapot and let the maid behind her go to fetch water.

"Although it's a little remote here, it's also spacious, and the queen doesn't seem to be such a mean person, she should want to warn us to be able to move to the Moon Picking Pavilion as soon as possible, you have heard, the crown princess is pregnant now, this is a good season for us show girls."

In the vicinity of the Sycamore Garden, there are large areas of green bamboo and sycamores intertwined with each other, and it is difficult for even a beam of sunlight to penetrate for a while. Qiao Biluo sat on the side with sadness.

"It's quiet here, there is the sound of birds, but I haven't seen His Royal Highness the Prince, and I don't know how heroic he is."

Qiao Biluo seemed to be talking to herself, and the two maids behind her were in a hurry to clean up the house, and only two people sat at the table.

"Don't worry, according to the custom, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will invite you to pick the Moon Pavilion tonight."

Xu Ruolian's face was full of excitement and excitement when she said this, and she grabbed Qiao Biluo's hand.
