Chapter 41: Chuxiu Palace (3)
Because it was the first day of stay.
There was little activity in the evening.
After dinner, Jiang Shanggong informed the show girls in each room not to go out, to get acquainted with the people under the same roof, and maybe to serve the emperor together in the future.
Li Zhao came back from washing, and was about to sleep, but his eyes moved and he saw Li Rong.
Li Rong's bed was next to her.
She was sitting in her place with her head bowed, not knowing what she was thinking.
Li Zhao sat on the edge of the kang and squeezed.
"Fourth sister, do you know all the people in this room?"
All know.
In addition to herself, there is also a virtuous concubine in this house, and the virtuous concubine is better than her, she has been favored three times, has no children, and finally everyone dies in the palace together.
But well......
Li Rong raised her head and shook it: "How could I recognize it?" ”
She didn't tell Li Zhao.
Li Zhao smiled: "Yes, I thought the fourth sister had already spoken to everyone." ”
The smiling eyes were bottomless, and they couldn't see clearly through the fog in the candlelight.
Li Rong's heart moved, and she always felt that Li Zhao was like a trick on her, this person wouldn't know anything, right?
Shaking his head secretly.
She lives again, she can't believe it, who can be suspicious?
Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly my eardrum was shaken.
"I heard you're sisters? My name is Cui Jingrou, hello. ”
What a shy and sweet voice.
Li Rong heard someone talking to them, and when she looked up, a girl in a yellow dress walked towards them.
The girl was described as thin and very fair-skinned.
Slender eyes, willow eyebrows.
A smile and a smile are full of weak and gentle wind.
It's not stunning, but men usually like it.
Isn't this the virtuous concubine Cui Jingrou?
Li Zhao saw that when Li Rong saw Cui Jingrou, there was a cold light in her eyes, she looked down and thought about it, and kept a heart.
When he raised his head again, he stretched out his hand to Cui Jingrou and said, "I'm Li Zhao." ”
Cui Jingrou was obviously stunned for a moment, and then raised her hand at a loss.
Li Zhao wanted to shake it and say hello, but he didn't expect Cui Jingrou's hands to be smooth and delicate, as if there were no bones, and it was very comfortable to touch.
Cui Jingrou looked at the strange behavior of the girl in front of her and blushed: "Ah Zhao...... You. ”
Li Zhao: "......"
Forget about the occasion.
Li Rong said in her heart, Yang Houzhao seems to be spoiled by Cui Jingrou's hand, but she didn't expect Li Zhao to also have the habit of falling in love with her hands.
Li Zhao reluctantly let go of his hand and pointed at Li Rong: "This is my cousin Li Rong." ”
Cui Jingrou bent her knees and blessed herself: "Ah Rong is good." ”
Cui Jingrou's movements are demure and elegant, and she is very popular.
And these people are basically small families, what kind of family would raise such a girl?
Li Zhao smiled: "Miss Cui is much quieter than us, and at first glance, everyone is beautiful." ”
Li Rong rolled her eyes in her heart, this Cui Jingrou's parents are both seven-rank petty officials, but her aunt is married to the Jiangning Chen family, although it is only a very small branch.
However, the Chen family in Jiangning is a century-old family of cultivation and study, and they are very prestigious in Jiangning, and the family pays special attention to the rules.
Cui Jingrou lived in her aunt's house after she was seven years old to learn the rules, so she naturally didn't have to pick in terms of etiquette.
Cui Jingrou saw that Li Zhao was enthusiastic and Li Rong was cold, so she looked at Li Zhao and said, "Ah Zhao, you are so beautiful." ”
The voice was low: "Even if you don't choose the queen, you can become the fourth concubine, Ah Zhao has a good face at a glance." ”
Li Rong was close, but she still heard it, her face was stunned, the queen's position was hers.
Li Zhao said to Cui Jingrou: "Then you haven't looked at my cousin carefully, since I was a child, my family has said that my cousin has a good face, and the Taoist priest has given orders, and they all say that my cousin is a phoenix and a sycamore, which is unspeakably expensive." ”
Li Zhao's voice was not small, but it was just right, not only Cui Jingrou, but almost all the girls in the room heard it.
All eyes were on one place.
Li Rong looked at Li Zhao angrily and angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”
Now that the selection has just begun, she is not a queen yet, and the people here say that they don't want to be a queen, and Li Zhao is helping her make enemies.
Li Zhao covered his mouth: "What did I say?" Isn't that what you and grandma have been talking about? ”
stuck out his tongue again: "If you don't want others to know, then I won't say it." ”
"You ......"
Seeing that Li Rong's eyes were round and she was about to be annoyed and angry, Cui Jingrou was a peacemaker: "You are sisters, isn't it good to have a good face?" Stop arguing. ”
Li Rong climbed to her place angrily, with a cold face and didn't talk to anyone.
Cui Jingrou looked at Li Zhao helplessly.
Li Zhao squinted at Li Rong, thinking to himself that you are a reborn person, knowing that the palace is a fire pit and pushing me to jump, this time I can't kill you, I will have your surname.
After Cui Jingrou, many people came to say hello, and there was even a show girl next door.
The room was lively.
Li Rong is still in a stalemate with Li Zhao.
When people came, she didn't pay much attention to them.
Li Zhao was just the opposite of her, and quickly mingled with everyone.
Gradually the moon rose to the eaves, and small lamps were set up in the room, and it was almost time to go to bed.
There is a time limit for Chuxiu Palace to sleep, and the lights will be turned off on time when the time comes.
Li Zhao had already washed up before, nothing happened, and returned to his "nest" in advance to prepare for sleep.
There are also restrictions on the direction in which they sleep, with their heads facing south, that is, along the kang.
Li Zhao wanted to lie down, but saw that Li Rong had been sitting on the edge of the kang and did not move.
Is this trying to get her head on her ass?
Li Zhao's heart moved, Li Rong was fine, why didn't she go to bed?
The reborn person knows the future of everyone in the room, and she may be waiting for something.
