364 Grace
Every time a new show girl enters the palace, it means that a new round of division of power has begun.
Lin Su casually flipped through the information that represented each show girl, Xia Yan on the side was serving with tea, and when she saw Lin Su's fingers paused slightly, she immediately stepped forward to bring the tea, and glanced at the top name by the way.
"Li Qiulan," she said in a low voice, "this person is a slave and maid, but I heard Father-in-law Chang mention it on purpose. ”
Lin Su took the tea, glanced at Xia Yan lightly, and said with a smile: "Could it be that you still have to ask for a reward before you say it?" Is there anything wrong with this Li Qiulan? ”
Xia Yan took out Li Qiulan's papers separately, then turned to the page of the family table, pointed to her mother's column, and said: "Her mother's surname is Zhang, and she is a cousin to the current queen's mother. ”
Lin Su smiled and motioned for Xia Yan to put Li Qiulan's information back again.
"Is there anyone else but her?"
Xia Yan shook her head slightly, "At least, we didn't find anyone else. ”
"You don't need to look at the rest," Lin Su smiled tiredly, "I think the queen has waited long enough." ”
Xia Yan nodded slightly, packed up the stack of papers, and then returned to Lin Su's side, and said in a low voice: "When they are all settled, I'm afraid that they will come over to say hello to the master." ”
"It's something to see." Lin Su instructed Xia Yan to call Chunque, Xia He and Xia Lian both came in, waited for her to change into the palace clothes of the imperial concubine, and then curled her hair high, with a beautiful set of imperial concubine's head, and when she took care of everything, the voices of eight show girls begging to see her sounded outside.
Lin Su motioned for Xia Yan to go out first to greet the show girls, while he sat in front of the dresser in the inner room and looked at the hairpin silently.
This hairpin was given by Zhou Shuxian on her birthday. It's just that many years have passed, not only did Zhou Shuxian not kill her and get the hairpin back, but she was in the cold palace.
I just don't know, if she sees this hairpin again, how she will react?
Lin Su smiled and slowly inserted the ordinary-looking hairpin into his hair. She took Xia He and Xia Lian's hands and stood up and walked towards the outer hall.
When the eight show girls saw Lin Su come out, they immediately got up and knelt down to salute, and Lin Su sat down on the main seat, and then stretched out his hand to signal them to get up.
"Sit down." She said lightly and let go of Xia He's hand: "Serve tea to all show girls." ”
Xia He retreated, and after a while, he brought the palace maid up to serve tea.
The show girls didn't dare to speak easily, but just sat silently in their positions, bowing their heads and looking honestly. Lin Su didn't have the desire or desire to talk to them, so he just sat and whispered something to Xia Lian.
"Ah Fu said yesterday that he wanted to come over and eat glutinous rice balls, and I don't know how he remembered it. You tell the kitchen to prepare it so that he can come and eat it in the afternoon when it snows. Now that he has moved out of the Fuliu Palace, you have to talk to Fujiang more about ordinary things, lest he be deceived by some restless minions. ”
Xia Lian responded one by one, and Lin Su turned his head to look at the show girls present, and saw that their faces were different, so he smiled and said, "I have always been busy here, one is that the hospitality is not good, but I have wronged you." ”
The women hurriedly got up and were polite, and Lin Su motioned for them to sit down and talk.
"I'm most tired of the rules here, just sit and talk. Otherwise, it will be tiresome to salute endlessly. ”
The show girl, who was sitting second on the right, spoke: "The status of a slave and maid is naturally courteous in front of the imperial concubine. ”
The show girl next to her also spoke, and said with a smile: "The imperial concubine is sympathetic to us, and we can't go over the unruly because of this." ”
Lin Su turned his head slightly to look at the two of them, and the two of them quickly stood up.
The one who spoke first was dressed in a royal blue shirt, knelt down and said, "The slave is Chang Yue." And the woman dressed in light blue on the side saluted: "The slave is a constant star." ”
Lin Su said: "You two get up, this palace looks, you are actually a pair of twin sisters." But I don't know, which one is the sister and which one is the sister? ”
As soon as he said this, the show girls present were not so restrained, Lin Su was now in charge of the entire harem, and it was naturally easy to greet a few show girls. And Li Qiulan is one of the women in goose yellow clothes, looking delicate, with a pair of smart and energetic eyes, it is a good thing to look at.
However, Lin Su didn't raise her much or target him. After talking impartially for a while, each of them had two pieces of cloth and some small accessories last time, and let them disperse.
After everyone left, Xia Yan said: "Judging from the slaves, the show girl this time is the daughter of the twin twins of the Chang family, and Li Qiulan will win the emperor's heart." Others, it looks like it's just decent, it's not a big deal. ”
"Silence!" Lin Su glared at Xia Yan, "Now you are becoming more and more presumptuous." ”
Xia Yan smiled and brought the tea over, and said in a low voice: "What the slave said is from the heart, who doesn't know that now the emperor's mind is on the master's womb." ”
Lin Su restrained the smile on his face and said, "Now that I have a womb that can't be served, and Concubine Lian can't be busy with her two children, and Wei Tiantian is now Concubine Jing, and now she is still favored." The day before yesterday, it was a noble person who was served, but? ”
"It's Rong Guiren. The slave and maid looked at her coldly, and only felt that she looked like she was being favored now, and she slept twice for three days......"
"Don't be afraid, now that the new show girl enters the palace, the emperor's attention will naturally be distracted." Lin Su pondered for a moment before he said, "Now that the show girls have entered the palace, they naturally want to find an opportunity to let the emperor meet." You go and instruct to go down, and the palace will hold a banquet in the imperial garden three days later, and enjoy the flowers with the concubines and show girls in the palace. ”
Xia Yan immediately answered the order.
Three days later, the weather was just right in the afternoon, Lin Su sat with all the concubines in the harem, and under the balcony were the show girls who were divided into four tables. The cool fruit wine, plus fruits and pastries, the atmosphere of the women is also harmonious. After a while, Si Yue finished his political affairs and came over.
Lin Su gave up his position, sat next to Si Yue, poured him tea and handed it over, then turned his head to look at Wang Liulian and said, "Concubine Lian is now taking care of the second prince and the second princess, and she seems to be a little haggard when she looks at people." ”
Wang Liulian smiled and said, "Thank you for your care, the concubine is fine." It's just that the second prince has been raised by the queen's side since he was a child. Now that he is away from the queen's care, he is a little uncomfortable. The concubine is trying to ask the emperor for a favor. ”
She stood up as she spoke, knelt down in front of Si Yue, and said, "The concubine watched the second prince cry every day, and she would be sick for a while every now and then, and she was really distressed. Although he is not born to a concubine, he is the emperor's child after all, and the concubine treats the second prince as if he were the second princess......"
