Chapter 14 Zhaoyang Palace Comes
Chapter 14 Visitors from Zhaoyang Palace
Lu Wanning smiled again, glanced at the two people who were looking at each other, and said: "The two sisters came a little late and haven't packed their things yet. Miss Weng and I came a little earlier and had already packed everything.
Sister, please quickly pack your things."
Xu Lingyan and Lu Rui came to their senses and said to Lu Sunning, "Thank you, Sister Lu, for reminding me. We'll take care of it now."
Not long after the two of them finished cleaning up, a nun came to tell the four of them the rules. From tomorrow on, they, the beautiful ladies who entered the palace, would have to learn the rules from the nuns in the palace every morning.
However, they only learn the rules for half a day every day, and the remaining half of the day is not restricted to them and is left to them to make their own arrangements.
After grandma left, Xu Lingyan said happily: "Since grandma said that the remaining time can be arranged by ourselves, does that mean we can go around the palace?"
Lu Rui's eyes flashed brightly and she said, "It should be."
Xu Lingyan became even happier after hearing this. She smiled sweetly and said to Lu Wanning and Lu Rui: "I have long heard that the scenery in the Royal Garden of the Imperial Palace is unparalleled in the world, but I have never had the opportunity to see it. Sister Lu, Sister Lu, we will meet tomorrow afternoon
How about going to visit the Royal Garden together?"
Xu Lingyan originally wanted to call Weng Qian, but after taking a look at Weng Qian's cold expression, he finally did not call her.
Lu Wanning smiled and shook her head, saying: "I won't go."
"Why?" Xu Lingyan asked, "Isn't Sister Lu curious about the scenery in the Royal Garden?"
"I……"
Just as Lu Wanning opened her mouth, Weng Qian, who was holding a book, suddenly said: "I am a girl from the Zhongyong Hou Mansion and a cousin of the Imperial Concubine. I am afraid that I have long been tired of seeing the scenery in the Imperial Garden."
"Wow!" Xu Lingyan exclaimed, looking at Lu Wanning with bright eyes, and said: "Sister Lu, are you so powerful?"
Lu Wanning glanced at Weng Qian who was reading a book after she finished speaking, and said with a smile: "What's so great about this? It's just family glory and has nothing to do with me. Unlike Miss Weng, she is a household name in the capital.
A talented woman is proficient in all things piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, that’s how powerful she is.”
Isn't it just to attract hatred? She can do it too.
Xu Lingyan said "Wow" again and said: "So Sister Weng is also so powerful? Compared with you, I want to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it."
The look on Lu Rui's face had been changing since just now. When she heard Xu Lingyan's words, she pursed her lips slightly and said, "Sister Xu, why do you have to belittle yourself? The fact that you can stand here now proves it."
You're not bad either."
Lu Wanning echoed: "What Sister Lu said is right."
On the second day in the morning, all the show girls were divided into several groups to learn the rules in several courtyards. The nun who taught the rules was particularly strict. Although they would not beat or scold them frequently, repeating one action over and over again was enough for everyone.
I can bear it.
Lu Wanning's rules were taught by Nanny Deng. In addition, the nanny who taught the rules was concerned about the noble concubine Lu Wanyun and the Zhongyong Hou family, so she was quite polite to Lu Wanning.
After learning the rules all morning, many people were too tired to move, but Lu Wanning was fine.
After returning to the residence, a palace official brought meals. Each person had two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, plus a soup and a snack.
How can I describe the taste of the food? I can only say it is edible.
Although Lu Wanning was a little uncomfortable with eating, she didn't say anything and ate the food slowly.
While Xu Lingyan was eating the food, he kept muttering: "The taste of this food is too ordinary, isn't it? Is the cooking skills of the royal chefs in the palace like this? It's not as delicious as my chef's cooking."
Lu Wanning thought to herself that the cooking skills of the royal chefs in the palace were definitely not like this, but they were not qualified to eat the food cooked by the royal chefs yet.
Although Lu Rui and Weng Qian didn't say anything, they obviously couldn't get used to the food. Weng Qian only picked up a few chopsticks and then stopped moving her chopsticks, and the same went for Lu Rui.
On the other hand, although Xu Lingyan muttered, he still used it a lot like Lu Wanning.
After lunch, Lu Wanning moved a little, then lay down on his bed and took a nap.
When she woke up from her nap, Weng Qian was still sitting at the table reading, but Xu Lingyan and Lu Rui were nowhere to be seen. They must have gone to visit the Royal Garden.
Lu Wanning got up and tidied up. She was bored and took a miscellaneous note from the book she brought into the palace to read for a while.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she got the book in hand, the maid of honor beside Lu Wanyun came over to look for her.
While Weng Qian was in the house, Hong Jian did not enter the house to talk to Lu Wanning. Instead, she found a place outside the house to talk to Lu Wanning.
"Fifth Miss, the Imperial Concubine has specially asked the servants to come and see you. Are you still used to it after being in the palace for so long?"
Lu Wanning nodded and said, "I'm sorry for you. With the concubine taking care of you, everything is fine here. There's nothing I'm not used to."
"Just get used to it." Hong Jian said with a smile and then continued: "With the imperial concubine here, the fifth young lady will not be bullied in the palace. If the fifth young lady encounters something, remember to send someone to Zhaoyang Palace.
Say something to the imperial concubine."
Lu Wanning responded: "I would also like to ask Miss Hong Jian to tell the imperial concubine: I will do it."
Hong Jian nodded and explained in a low voice: "This slave is serving the Imperial Concubine. If you come to the Fifth Miss every day, you will inevitably be targeted by someone who is interested. Therefore, I will not come to the Fifth Miss in the next month."
, if something happens to the Fifth Miss, please find a little palace maid named Huanxi in the Chuxiu Palace and ask her to send a message to the Imperial Concubine."
"Of course, if there is any news from the imperial concubine's side, she will send it to you through joy. Fifth Miss, you and our imperial concubine are both girls from the Zhongyong Hou Mansion. We will both be prosperous and suffer. The imperial concubine will definitely help the fifth lady."
Miss, you are favored by the emperor. Fifth Miss, you only need to wait for news about the imperial concubine. Before that, please do not act privately, do you understand?"
Lu Wan'an listened quietly and nodded with a smile, "I understand. I will obey the imperial concubine's orders in everything."
Hong Jian was very satisfied with Lu Wanning's answer, and said a few words to Lu Wanning about how much the imperial concubine valued her sister before leaving Chuxiu Palace.
After Hong Jian left, Lu Wanning stood there for a while before returning to his house.
When Weng Qian saw Lu Wanning come in, she raised her head and glanced at her, snorted disdainfully, then lowered her head to read the book in her hand.
Lu Wanning has determined at this moment that Weng Qian definitely doesn't like her, but if she doesn't like her, then she doesn't like her. She's not a rich person, so naturally it's impossible for everyone to like her, and strictly speaking, everyone in their house doesn't like her.
These four people are currently in a competitive relationship. It is normal for Weng Qian to dislike her.
