Stay or Go

What happened to Lu Rui in the imperial garden last night has spread among the beautiful ladies of Chuxiu Palace.

While Lu Wanning and the others were learning the rules, they heard several show girls discussing what happened last night. From the mouths of those show girls, Lu Wanning finally knew the whole story of last night.

It turned out that Lu Rui was waiting for the emperor and Xu Jieyu to practice dancing on their way to Baoyue Pavilion last night, hoping to attract the emperor's attention. However, when they met, before Lu Rui could say anything, Xu Jieyu had already covered her head with the curtain.

He was scolded, but the emperor never said a word from beginning to end.

This further fueled Xu Jieyu's arrogance. Xu Jieyu accompanied the emperor to Baoyue Pavilion, but left his personal maid there to teach Lu Rui a lesson.

Not only was Lu Rui slapped, she was also punished to kneel in the imperial garden for two hours. Later, the maid next to Xu Jieyu even said that since she was hanging out in gauze in such weather, she must not be afraid of the cold, and

Someone took cold water and poured it all over her body and face.

After hearing this, Lu Wanning shook her head helplessly. She didn't even know what to say to Lu Rui. Since she knew from herself that it was Xu Jieyu who went to admire the moon with the emperor last night, why couldn't she think about dancing to win over the emperor?

What about her attention? Doesn’t she know that this is what Xu Jieyu hates the most?

During this time in Chuxiu Palace, Lu Wanning also learned some things that everyone in the palace knew, including the feud between Xu Jieyu and Wen Zhaoyi, and Wen Zhaoyi had won the emperor's favor with her Jinghong Dance.

.

However, Lu Rui also danced to seduce the emperor in front of Xu Jieyu last night, so no wonder Xu Jieyu was so angry.

However, the fact that the emperor said nothing from the beginning to the end is a bit confusing. I wonder if the emperor thinks that the life and death of a little beautiful girl has nothing to do with it? Or does he think Lu Rui has disturbed her and Xu Jieyu?

How should Xu Jieyu punish the elegance of admiring the moon?

Or the emperor simply felt that the beautiful ladies of this year were running into the imperial garden every three days, either by chance encounter today or by chance encounter tomorrow, which made him upset, so he just used Xu Jieyu's hand to knock these things out.

Dishonest show girl?

Lu Wanning thought that after what happened to Lu Rui this time, there would be fewer people who would encounter the emperor in the imperial garden in the next period of time.

I have to say that what Lu Wanning thought was absolutely correct. In the following period, the beautiful ladies of Chuxiu Palace became much more honest. After learning the rules every day, they all went back to their own houses. Even if they went out, they would only stay in Chuxiu Palace.

After walking around, there are very few people who have the courage to go to the Royal Garden.

Aunt Miao was also very fast. The next day she moved Lu Rui outside the palace to recuperate on the grounds that Lu Rui had contracted the cold and was afraid of infecting other beautiful ladies in the Chuxiu Palace.

Lu Rui's departure from the palace means that she has completely missed this election.

When Lu Rui was moved out of the palace, it was when Lu Wanning and the others went to learn the rules. When Lu Wanning and the others returned to the house, Lu Rui had already left.

Lu Wanning looked at Lu Rui's empty bed and wondered if Lu Rui regretted her previous choice now.

Although Lu Rui's appearance is not as stunning as Lu Wanning's and Weng Qian's, her appearance is actually considered top-notch among this group of beautiful girls. If she can wait for the palace selection honestly, she might be able to be selected.

Selected.

However, everyone has to be responsible for their own choices. Lu Rui has reached this point because she had evil intentions from the beginning and wanted to take away the opportunity to see the emperor from Lu Wanning.

Huanxi found an opportunity to meet Lu Wanning the day after Lu Rui's accident, and asked about what happened last night, "Miss Fifth, why did the beautiful lady in the same room go to the Royal Garden last night, but you didn't go?"

Lu Wanning had already thought of her words. She said: "I went, but I went a little late. When I went, Xu Jieyu was talking about Lu Rui. I thought it would be inappropriate for me to show up again under the circumstances, so I came back."

.”

"As for why Lu Rui appeared in the imperial garden, I guess it was because she happened to hear us talking that day and wanted to get the emperor's attention before me."

There was no doubt that Lu Wanning was happy with her words, and Lu Wanyun of Xinyang Palace had no doubt.

However, after what happened this time, Lu Wanyun also temporarily gave up the plan of letting Lu Wanning stand out before the palace election.

Time passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye it had been a month since Lu Wanning and the others entered the palace.

That night Lu Wanning was lying on the bed and was about to fall asleep when Xu Lingyan's low voice suddenly sounded, "Sister Lu, are you asleep?"

Lu Wanning said softly: "Not yet, what's wrong?"

"Tomorrow is the time to decide whether we should stay or go. I can't sleep a little." Xu Lingyan said.

Lu Wanning was silent for a while and asked, "Do you really want to stay in the palace?"

Xu Lingyan shook his head and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you stay or not. When I participated in the draft this time, I just wanted to go to the palace to have a look. Before I left home, my father told me that it didn't matter whether I was selected or not.

Okay, if you can't choose, just go home and get married."

Lu Wanning smiled, "In that case, what do you have to worry about?"

Xu Lingyan thought it was true, so she also laughed, "Sister Lu is right. I have already seen the palace anyway. Even if I am not among the fifty people staying tomorrow, there is nothing to regret. I'd better go to bed."

.”

Xu Lingyan fell asleep immediately when she said she was going to sleep, and soon Lu Wanning heard her snoring.

Lu Wanning shook his head and began to feel sleepy again. After a while, he slowly fell asleep.

When they got up in the morning, Lu Wanning and the others finished their breakfast as usual and went to the largest hall of Chuxiu Palace. While everyone was waiting anxiously, Grandma Miao, the eunuch in charge of Chuxiu Palace, Eunuch Gao Chengren, and several other mothers

The eunuchs walked in together, and Eunuch Gao still held a pamphlet in his hand.

"Today is the time to decide whether you will stay or go. We have all seen your performance in these days. Those whose names are mentioned next can continue to stay in the palace to wait for the palace selection. As for those whose names are not mentioned,

You can go back and pack your things later, someone will take you out of the palace after noon."

After speaking without any nonsense, Eunuch Gao glanced at everyone and said: "Now I will start to read the names."

"Cui Ru from General Dingyuan's mansion, Chai Qian, the daughter of the magistrate of Yongze County, Zhou Xuan, the daughter of the magistrate of Runing Prefecture, Lu Wanning from the palace of Zhongyong Marquis, Weng Qian from the Hanlin bachelor's palace..."

Xu Lingyan stood next to Lu Wanning. When she heard Eunuch Gao started to read her name, she became nervous again. Although it didn't matter if she stayed or left, she couldn't help but become nervous again when she saw everyone was nervous.

Of course, not everyone is nervous. At least people like Lu Wanning and Weng Qian who are basically sure about entering the palace don't seem to be nervous at all.
