Chapter 21: Beauty
Lu Yuning said with a smile: "After you leave the palace, you will marry a powerful husband and become a lady as soon as possible, maybe we will be able to meet you when we have a banquet in the harem." ”
Lu Yuning originally said casually, but who knew that Xu Lingyan really thought about it seriously, and after thinking about it for a while, she nodded and said, "Sister Lu, what you said makes sense, in this case, we will really have a chance to meet again in the future." ”
Lu Yuning choked again and said with a smile: "It's good if you're happy." ”
"I am indeed a lot happier to know that I will have the opportunity to see Sister Lu again in the future."
Xu Lingyan pulled Lu Yuning and said for a while, seeing that the time was not early, and it would be too late to leave the palace if she didn't pack her things, so she hurriedly packed up her things.
Lu Yuning also helped her clean up, and after everything was cleaned up, Xu Lingyan took off a jade bracelet from her wrist and handed it to Lu Yuning, saying, "Sister Lu, this is my favorite bracelet, I gave it to you, I hope you will remember me when you see this bracelet in the future." ”
"I'll take it." Lu Yuning solemnly took the bracelet, then untied the jade pendant from his waist, and handed it to Xu Lingyan, saying, "My jade pendant is for you." ”
After the two exchanged gifts, the little eunuch who came to send Xu Lingyan out of the palace came, Xu Lingyan lifted his burden, and after saying goodbye to Lu Yuning again, he followed the little eunuch out, Lu Yuning sent her to the door of Chuxiu Palace, and watched her figure disappear into a corner of the palace wall before retracting her gaze a little stunned.
The canonization decree of the selected show girls this time was sent to Chuxiu Palace in the evening, and there were only eight show girls who were finally selected this time, except for Weng Qian and Cui Ru, who Lu Yuning had contact with, the rest of the people Lu Yuning only knew their names, but they had no contact.
Coincidentally, Weng Qian and Cui Ru both sealed the five-grade Jieyu this time, and they are the two highest-ranking girls in this batch of selected show girls.
Lu Yuning and another show girl surnamed Zheng were named sixth-grade beauties, and the remaining four were either seventh-grade talents or eighth-grade waiters.
The position of the six-grade beauty is not the highest among these show girls, but it is not low, anyway, it is higher than Lu Yuning expected, she thought that in the case of a noble concubine in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, she entered the palace this time and gave her the position of a seven-grade talent, but she didn't expect it to be a six-grade beauty.
However, Lu Yuning is still very happy, even if the grade is only one level higher, it is different.
Lu Yuning and Weng Qian lived in the same room, and the holy decree canonized by the two was naturally read out one after the other, Weng Qian knew that her rank was one level higher than Lu Yuning's, and her cold eyes glanced at Lu Yuning, although she didn't show it on her face, but Lu Yuning still saw the show off and pride from that glance.
Lu Yuning snorted lightly, this is treating herself as a competitor, shouldn't she be happy that Weng Dacai attaches importance to herself?
After the eunuch who had read the decree left, the room was quiet again.
Originally, when Xu Lingyan was there, there was often the sound of her chirping in the house, but now that Xu Lingyan is gone, there are only Weng Qian and Lu Yuning left in the house, the two ignore each other, and naturally there will be no sound in the house, but the two of them are holding their own books to read, but they don't interfere with each other.
Early the next morning, someone from the palace came to take Lu Yuning and their selected show girls to their new residences.
Weng Qian was given to live in the side hall of Zhilan Palace, Zhilan Palace did not have a proper mother, but she was also comfortable, and there was another advantage of living here that if Weng Qian was promoted to a concubine in the future, she would not have to move the palace anymore, and she could move directly from the side hall to the main hall.
I don't know if the emperor thinks the same way when he lets Weng Qian live here?
And the Linglong Pavilion where Lu Yuning was given to live is located a little later, and the whole pattern is as exquisite and small as its name, a small courtyard, there is no difference between the main hall and the partial hall, and there are not many rooms, but it is more than enough to live only Lu Yuning alone.
Lu Yuning is still satisfied with this residence, she was worried that the emperor would let her live directly in the side hall of Zhaoyang Palace at the beginning, if she really lived under Lu Yunyun's nose, it would not be easy for Lu Yuning to disobey Lu Yunyun in the future, and she didn't want to be tied to Lu Yunyun at all.
Being able to live alone in a courtyard will make it easier for her to act in the future.
When Lu Yuning was led to the Linglong Pavilion by the little eunuch, the palace maids and eunuchs arranged by the Ministry of Internal Service were already waiting in the courtyard.
"The villain/slave has seen a beauty."
There were a total of four people arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to serve them, two palace maids, and two eunuchs, Lu Yuning simply asked the four of them a few words, and after giving the names to the four of them, he simply arranged errands for the four of them.
Chen Anren looked honest and honest, so Lu Yuning asked him to be in charge of sprinkling and sweeping in the yard.
Zhou Man looked young, but his brain was flexible, his mouth was sharp, and he was even more good at getting things done, so Lu Yuning asked him to do some errands.
As for the two palace maids, one is called Zisu and the other is called Zifu. Both of them are not very old, one was responsible for guarding the treasury in the past, and the other was responsible for taking care of flowers and plants in the imperial garden, so Lu Yuning asked the two to temporarily receive the errand of the second-class palace maid.
After arranging their own errands for the four of them, Lu Yuning entered the middle and largest room in the courtyard and simply put the things he had brought.
Qingzhi and Qingdai will be able to enter the palace immediately, and the others will be cleaned up after the two enter the palace.
Yesterday, after the news that Lu Yuning was sealed as a beauty came to the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion, Qingzhi and Qingdai packed up their things and prepared to enter the palace, and they were waiting outside the palace gate early this morning.
When Lu Yuning sent Zhou Man to pick up people at the gate of the palace, the two had been waiting there for more than an hour.
The two came in from outside the palace, and when they saw Lu Yuning, their eyes were red with excitement, and after saluting Lu Yuning, Qingzhi said, "Miss, how are you doing for more than a month?" How can the slave and maid look at you as if you have lost weight? ”
Qingdai also echoed on the side: "The face is not as rosy and shiny as it was at home." ”
Although Qingzhi and Qingdai used to be second-class maids, they have also served by Lu Yuning's side since they were children, and they have deep feelings for Lu Yuning, and both of them also know Lu Yuning's temper, as long as they don't make mistakes, Lu Yuning has always been more tolerant of the people around her, so the two of them are not restrained by Lu Yuning's side, and they are not careful when they speak.
Hearing the words of the two, Lu Yuning subconsciously reached out and touched his face, and said, "Is it really thin, and your skin has deteriorated?" ”
