Lu Yuning and Luo Chengjing finished visiting the Imperial Garden, and at noon, Lu Yuning stayed in Jianzhang Palace for lunch before returning to Linglong Pavilion.

In the evening, Luo Chengjing did not go to Linglong Pavilion again, but went to Zheng Jieyu's Ruyi Pavilion, Lu Yuning was not surprised at all when she heard the news.

Luo Chengjing was not directly hooked away by Zheng Jieyu at noon, but accompanied her for lunch, which was already to give her face.

As for what Luo Chengjing said at noon, he preferred to listen to her play the piano than the pipa, Lu Yuning didn't believe it at all.

Living in this harem, the most important thing you should always recognize is that you will never be the most special one in the emperor's heart.

Lu Yuning will not think that she has a lot of weight in the emperor's heart simply because the emperor has favored her during this time.

On the eighth day of the fourth month, a new batch of show girls entered the palace, and the imperial garden was lively again.

Lu Yuning went to the Imperial Garden twice in a row and met a show girl playing in the Imperial Garden, which made Lu Yuning can't help but think of Xu Lingyan.

Xu Lingyan is such a lively character.

She is now a concubine, and she also has the right to summon her family members to the palace on the first and fifteenth days of each month. Perhaps, in a few days, Xu Lingyan can be summoned into the palace to talk.

Lu Yuning was watching a few struggling show girls, and the struggling show girls found Lu Yuning standing not far away, so they hurriedly stopped playing and came over to salute Lu Yuning.

"I've seen Concubine Zhuang."

Lu Yuning called out with a smile. One of them, with thin eyebrows and apricot eyes, glanced at Lu Yuning's face twice, and said boldly: "Niangniang, you are so beautiful." ”

Lu Yuning smiled when she heard this, and said, "You are also very beautiful, what's your name?" ”

The girl's eyes lit up when she heard Lu Yuning's words, and she replied: "The courtier's surname is Xia Jinxin, which is taken from 'Shuoren Qixin, dressed in brocade clothes. ’”

"Xia Jinxin, very talented, and her name is good." Lu Yuning nodded after speaking, and said with a smile: "You guys continue to play, I'll go first." ”

After Lu Yuning left, Xia Jinxin looked at the back of Lu Yuning leaving, and said to a few girls around her: "Concubine Zhuang is not only beautiful, but also very gentle, just like my sister." ”

A girl on Xia Jinxin's left said enviously: "It is said that Concubine Zhuang is very favored, and Sister Xia will definitely be able to stay until the end if she gets the eyes of Concubine Zhuang Niangniang." ”

Before Xia Jinxin could speak, a girl on her right had already choked and said, "With Sister Xia's talent and appearance, even if you don't have the blue eyes of Concubine Zhuang, you can stay." ”

When Xia Jinxin heard this, she said with a smile: "Okay, Sister Han, Sister Liu is not wrong, Concubine Zhuang is now favored, I can be liked by her, no matter what, it's a good thing." ”

Xia Jinxin spoke, but there was ambition in his eyes that could not be concealed.

After Lu Yuning returned from the Imperial Garden, he asked someone to send a post to Xu Lingyan and invited her to enter the palace on the fifteenth.

Not to mention how excited Xu Lingyan was after receiving the post, how Tao Yunyun told Xu Lingyan to be careful after entering the palace.

In the palace, Lu Yuning said a few more words to a few show girls in the imperial garden at noon, and in the eyes of those who cared, they all thought that Lu Yuning had any ideas.

Everyone then pondered Lu Yuning's intentions.

In Qingren Palace, Concubine Jing listened to the news from the palace maid and asked Su Juan, the palace maid next to her, "How is the show girl named Xia Jinxin looking?" ”

Su Juan replied: "Xia Jinxin is very top-notch in terms of talent and appearance among these show girls. ”

"That's it!" Concubine Jing sighed lightly and said with a smile: "Could it be that Concubine Zhuang is also afraid that this Xia Jinxin will threaten her after entering the palace, so she wants to strangle this Xia Jinxin in advance?" ”

"Niangniang, if Concubine Zhuang really does this, should we help Xia Xiunu?" Su Juan asked.

Concubine Jing thought for a while and said, "Let's look at it first, if Concubine Zhuang really makes a move, it's not impossible for us to help." ”

A few days passed in a flash, and soon it was fifteen.

Lu Yuning ushered Xu Lingyan in Linglong Pavilion.

"Courtiers......

"Cousin-in-law, don't be polite." Lu Yuning hurriedly supported Xu Lingyan without waiting for Xu Lingyan to salute, and teased with a smile, "I haven't seen my cousin for three years, but my cousin-in-law is getting more and more beautiful, it can be seen that my cousin-in-law is really good after marrying my cousin." ”

Xu Lingyan blushed embarrassedly, and said, "The courtiers didn't expect that the courtiers would marry the mother's cousin at that time. ”

"Isn't that nice?" Lu Yuning said with a smile: "At that time, when we were out of the palace, it was not easy for us to meet again in the future, and now that you have become my cousin-in-law, and live in the capital with my cousin, it is more convenient for us to talk on weekdays." ”

Xu Lingyan nodded and said: "What Niangniang said is that at that time, the courtiers thought that there would not be many opportunities to see Niangniang in this life, but I didn't expect that it was only three years, and the courtiers could sit and talk with Niangniang again." ”

"yes, it's only been three years." Lu Yuning sighed.

In just three years, she feels like it's been a long, long time.

Lu Yuning shook his head and said, "Don't call each other a courtier, a lady, we still call each other the same as before." ”

Xu Lingyan shouted kindly: "Sister Lu." ”

Lu Yuning: ......

This seems a little wrong, she can't call Xu Lingyan's cousin, Xu Lingyan calls her sister, right?

"Why don't my cousins call me cousin like my cousin?"

Xu Lingyan said with a smile when she heard this: "Since Niangniang said that she still calls each other the same as before, of course I call you Sister Lu, you call me Sister Xu, I know Sister Lu in the front, and marry the Xianggong in the back, and we will talk about it in the future." ”

After listening to Xu Lingyan's words, Lu Yuning smiled and said, "It's okay." ”

"Sister Lu, Sister Lu." Xu Lingyan shouted a few times in a row, and said, "It's still like this, it's close and comfortable." ”

After speaking, Xu Lingyan asked Lu Yuning with concern: "Sister Lu, how are you doing in the palace?" ”

Lu Yuning smiled: "It's good, what about you?" ”

Xu Lingyan hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled again: "I'm also fine." ”

Lu Yuning noticed Xu Lingyan's momentary hesitation, and said suspiciously: "Could it be that my cousin treats Sister Xu badly?" ”

It shouldn't be, Lu Yuning heard Tao say that Tao Yunyun and Xu Lingyan lived a good life, which is very good, Tao Yunyun shouldn't be bad to Xu Lingyan.

Sure enough, Xu Lingyan shook his head and said, "Sister Lu misunderstood, and she treated me very well." ”

"What's going on with that?" Lu Yuning asked.

Xu Lingyan glanced at Lu Yuning, hesitated for a while, and then spoke: "Sister Lu don't worry, in fact, I didn't encounter any difficulties, it's just ...... It's my mother, they came to the capital some time ago. ”
