Since Wu Xuenian came to the capital, his career has not been smooth.

Zhang Shi actually arranged for him to casually take the position of the Guanglu Temple book, which is regarded as the most inferior official among the officials in Kyoto, and he has no real power except for recording the firewood, rice, oil, and salt of the palace every day. It is said that the gentleman is far away from cooking, what kind of business is he?

What's even more infuriating is that his father actually agreed! Anyway, he is also the Taishou of Cangwu County, except for so many people in the entire Xuanling, there are no more than ten people with a higher status than him, and they don't arrange him by their side, and they actually send him to this murderous and bloodless capital, and they are not afraid that their son is still writing to him the night before to reminisce about the past, and the next night he is waiting at the noon gate to ask for beheading!

If you really want him to win fame and fortune fairly, maybe this is in line with Wu Xuenian's intentions, he was originally a person who was good at playing tricks, but now he records these vegetables and fruits every day, that's still a fart! You can't poison the emperor's meal, and then frame him, it's too naïve.

There is no soldier, no real power, he has already thought about it, when the time comes, if he is provoked, he will take vegetables and fruits and smash it on the person's head, and if something happens, he will blame this useless father, who grew up eating dry rice. If it weren't for his grandmother's early departure, he would have asked if there was too little milk when he was a child, which caused his father's brain to develop poorly!

I saw a swaying figure in the distance walking forward, and when I got closer, it was a little eunuch with a smile on his face, his thin face was so thin that he could see a little delicate, but his body looked crumbling but he wore the eunuch uniform meticulously, and his waist was naturally bent.

"Yo, isn't this Grandpa Zhang! What kind of wind blew you here?" Although Wu Xuenian greeted him with a smile on his face, he was very annoyed with this eunuch in his heart, he came over every three or five times, and every time he came over, another person had to follow.

A big celebrity in the palace, if there is nothing to do, he will run to the imperial dining room, and when he comes, he will not do anything but pick some vegetables and fruits and leave, he is an idle job, and he is so tossed by them, and he has to change the law to introduce them to today's storage situation, and increase his workload in vain.

"Wu Dianshu, Mrs. Li has come to pick up the ingredients again!" said Gonggong Zhang, pulling the old duck's voice.

Wu Xuenian scolded his mother in his heart, "Sure enough, it's that little girl's skin again,!"

Mrs. Li, the big celebrity in the Xuanlin Palace today, has no appearance to say that none of the people who have entered the palace are bad-looking, but she stands out among thousands of concubines with her good soup and wins the emperor's favor!

Father-in-law Zhang called Wu Xuenian, and the two went to the imperial dining room together, and Mrs. Li had been waiting for a long time.

Mrs. Li wore a snow-white fox fur coat today, with a royal blue dot emerald pearl hairpin on her head, black hair and snow-white coat matching, light makeup, and the whole person gave people a clean and tidy feeling. Always looking at the bewitching beauties walking around the palace, all of them are exaggerated on their faces, and they are dressed in gold and jade, everyone has aesthetic fatigue, and those who have it for a long time will be tired, and it is the same for a long time.

Wu Xuenian bowed slightly to Mrs. Li, and said softly, "Say hello to Mrs. Li." ”

Mrs. Li nodded slightly and said, "Lead the way!"

Mrs. Li is still relatively mild-tempered, when she meets those high-flying concubines, her position is not high, but her temper is not small, and she has no hope of being promoted, so she comes to bully these petty officials, and she puts on their faces with all her might, and her eyes are vicious as if she wants to eat people.

Every time Wu Xuenian is looked at by them like this, they have to suspect that this group of girls is estimated to have been in the harem for a long time and is lonely, so when they see a man with a handle, they can't help but want to get into trouble, but they can't help but have a thief's heart and no thief's guts, so the resentment in their hearts has accumulated for a long time, and even their eyes have changed.

And Wu Xuenian himself is handsome, and he is even more frightened by these people!

Wu Xuenian walked in front and talked in detail about the vegetables and fruits sent in today, Mrs. Li had a flat face, nodding from time to time, obviously not very attentive.

Wu Xuenian looked at her and complained in his heart: "If you don't want to listen, don't come, come and take care of yourself, it's nothing!"

But his face was still as pleasant as possible, and his tone was very gentle.

Mrs. Li said inexplicably at this time, "Wu Dianshu doesn't seem to be young." ”

Wu Xuenian wondered why he suddenly asked such a question, but he still replied, "Just twenty years old." ”

Mrs. Li was slightly surprised, "It looks a few years younger." ”

He was originally handsome and clean, so he was called "white-faced boy" in the past, which means that he is white and clean, and many women are inferior.

"I don't know what Mrs. Li is doing when she suddenly asks this?" Wu Xuenian couldn't help but ask.

Mrs. Li smiled slightly, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just like asking Wu Dianshu what kind of woman he likes." ”

Wu Xuenian was so frightened that he stumbled and almost fell to the ground!

"After all, you're all men!" said Mrs. Li again.

He wiped his forehead, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and thought, "Can't you finish talking all at once? I'm scared to death!"

He said softly: "The saint is the body of the emperor, how can it be compared to ordinary people like me, it is really difficult for my subordinates to answer this question. ”

Mrs. Li's eyes dimmed, "That's fine!"

There have always been rumors that Mrs. Li is about to lose power, and now it seems that what she said is true, otherwise Mrs. Li would not have asked such a question for no reason, but Wu Xuenian thinks about it and makes soup every day, and everyone will get tired of it.

For the women in the deep palace, the material life of brocade clothes and jade food allows them to enjoy infinite wealth, but the intrigue and mutual intrigue in the harem are what make them even more unforgettable. As women, even as concubines, their fate is not something they can choose. If you want to survive, you must be favored by the emperor, you must defeat other competitors, and if you are not careful, you may die without a place to be buried. Therefore, the harem is a place of right and wrong, where every step must be taken carefully and on thin ice.

The palace is also a lonely place. There are no close friends here, and there are few real feelings between husband and wife. In this environment, more emperors are intoxicated with the pleasures of lewdness and lust, and are infatuated with the satisfaction of carnal desires, and have no feelings at all. There are 3,000 beauties in the harem, and they must not leave today, and they will be abandoned tomorrow, but they are all the emperor's pastimes and playthings. There is even more often death, and the soul is scattered, how miserable and desolate. The beautiful harem with fragrant fat powder and magnificence is full of traps, full of jealousy, and hidden murderous intentions. In such an environment, the lingering love story seems to be just a beautiful fairy tale from afar.

Mrs. Li came from a humble background, and was sent to the palace by her brother who was the governor of the Nine Gates, and before her brother sent her in, he clearly told her that she must climb to a high position, and she must fight a bloody way, and the task of the family's bright and glorious ancestors was handed over to her.

Although she is a woman, she has always understood the way here, and with her own scheming, she slowly climbed up and finally climbed to the position of Mrs. Li. But Shaohua is fleeting, even if the scenery is beautiful, there is a day of curtain call. Time never waits for anyone, and she begins to grow old slowly, no longer as young and energetic as she used to be. His Majesty's affection for her gradually faded.

People who live in the deep palace, unless they give birth to a dragon child, all the people who are favored in front of them are just fleeting dreams, a mirage that is about to collapse, and who else can leave a trace in His Majesty's heart when he is old.

As for love, it is even more ridiculous, what people want to talk about love, but some ordinary ordinary people can't find more red faces, so they want to be a dedicated man, fantasizing about exchanging that water mill for a person's heart.

And Mrs. Li has not given birth to a son or a daughter for His Majesty for so many years, so she is destined to be in a very miserable situation in a few years at most.

She doesn't mind guarding the palace compound, but her uncompetitive brother has been flying and domineering over the years, relying on her temporary favor, provoking a lot of people, and holding the official position to do nothing, very wasteful. If she falls out of favor, those who have a grudge against the Li family will definitely not let go of this opportunity to fall into the ground, and the Li family will really be finished by then. That's why she became anxious, especially since His Majesty had shown some impatience with her lately.

Wu Xuenian saw the change in Mrs. Li, and thought that maybe this was an opportunity, so he spoke: "Although we must not be compared with the Holy Lord, if Mrs. Li wants to listen to the thoughts of ordinary men, there is something for her subordinates to shake off!"

"Oh?" Madame Li raised her eyebrows, a little curious, "you say." ”

Wu Xuenian said: "I think most men may get tired of one thing after a long time, but one thing will not change, and that is the initial feeling. The so-called first love is the most unforgettable, I think that's it!"

Nothing can escape the fate of decline, whether it is the natural scenery or the world, especially the intoxicating and heart-wrenching feelings.

Mrs. Li continued to walk calmly, "Wu Dianshu said with a smile, there has never been a shortage of women around Your Majesty, and the first woman has long been unknown. ”

"So that's Madame's chance. Wu Xuenian replied, "You don't have to be the first person, but that feeling is always wrong." ”

Yes, when she was introduced to His Majesty by her brother, His Majesty was attracted to her at first sight. At that time, she had not experienced any ups and downs in the harem, she was still just a young girl, with the purest heart, her liveliness and agility, her playfulness and cuteness, are the best memories of His Majesty, but now her heart is becoming more and more mature, so she has developed such a calm and graceful temperament.

She suddenly felt a little sad, "After all, people are old and yellow, and it is difficult to have the heart of the year a few times, just talk about the ruthlessness of flowing water." ”

Wu Xuenian continued to speak: "Just as the palace wall is as deep as the sea, I still understand these below. It seems that the subordinates don't need a few times of infinite youth, as long as they can firmly grasp the heart of the saint once, and then it will be unforgettable!"

Mrs. Li smiled lightly, "Then you can talk about it! How can you capture His Majesty's mind?"

When Wu Xuenian said what he thought in his heart, Mrs. Li suddenly became furious and angry, "Wu Xuenian!

Wu Xuenian hurriedly knelt on one knee, clenched his fists and begged for mercy: "Madame's life, my subordinates didn't mean to say such arrogant words, they really wanted to relieve their worries for Madame, and said such thoughtless words in a hurry!"

"Hmph!" Mrs. Li snorted coldly, and when she really calmed down, her brows were tightly locked, and there was a deep sadness in her eyes, she sighed, "Okay, maybe this is my life!"

Wu Xuenian lowered his head, the corners of his mouth hooked a smile, and the gloomy imperial dining room seemed to be half as cold as him!

Mrs. Li simply stopped visiting the imperial dining room, dragged the fox fur coat and left slowly, and after walking out a few steps, she turned her back to Wu Xuenian and said softly: "Wu Dianshu is talented, and it is condescending to be committed to this imperial dining room. ”

Wu Xuenian got up, bent down again, and said loudly, "Congratulations to Mrs. Li!"
