Chapter 2 The Royal Concubine

Early the next morning, Lu Wanning packed herself up and went to greet Mrs. Tao.

Tao took a look at Lu Wanning's outfit and nodded: "This outfit looks good."

Slightly old-fashioned but very solemn clothes, plain makeup, expensive but unspectacular hairpin jewelry, this outfit not only showed that Lu Wanning valued this trip to the palace, but also made Lu Wanning feel a little lost.

The beauty of beauty.

"After entering the palace, you should be polite when you meet the palace people. Don't talk too much, don't look too much, and follow the old lady. Whether it is the imperial concubine or you meet other nobles, if they don't ask you, don't take the initiative to speak.

…”

Mrs. Tao took Lu Wanning's hand and told Lu Wanning some rules to pay attention to after entering the palace, and then sent Lu Wanning out of her courtyard with worried eyes and went to Jifu Hall.

In the lobby of Jifu Hall, Mrs. Lin frowned slightly when she saw Lu Wanning's outfit and said, "Girl Ning, why are you wearing this outfit today?"

Lu Wanning smiled sweetly and said: "Wunning thought that since she was going to the palace to meet the imperial concubine today, she must not be rude, so she specially took out this new dress that she had just made before. The fabric of this dress was given by the imperial concubine.

Grandma, grandma gave it to Wan Ning again, does grandma think it looks good?"

Mrs. Lin couldn't express the words of disdain on her lips. She nodded expressionlessly and said perfunctorily: "It looks good."

Lu Wanyi, who had just come in, curled her lips when she heard Mrs. Lin's words, lifted up her skirt, ran around in front of Mrs. Lin, and asked: "Grandma, do you think I look good?"

Mrs. Lin took a look at Lu Wanyi. She looked beautiful and lively in her pomegranate red dress, lightly painted face, and small and exquisite jewelry.

Mrs. Lin nodded with satisfaction, "It looks good."

Upon hearing this, Lu Wanyi glanced at Lu Wanning proudly and urged Mrs. Lin: "Grandma, shouldn't we set off?"

"Well, let's go now."

Mrs. Lin gave the order, and everyone went out together and got on the carriage heading to the palace. Mrs. Lin and Lu Wanyi were in a carriage, Lu Wanning, Lu Wanqing and Lu Wanrou were in a carriage.

Lu Wanqing wore a crab shell green dress today. As usual, she was dressed low-key and unobtrusive. Lu Wanrou wore a pink dress with beaded hairpins and bobs, looking gentle and charming.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace. Lu Wanning got out of the carriage behind Lu Wanqing and Lu Wanrou. She saw that Lin and Lu Wanyi had already gotten off the carriage. Lin was talking to a young eunuch at this time.

Lu Wanning and the other three walked up to Lin, who introduced the three of them: "This is the most useful Eunuch Baoqing around the imperial concubine. He came here to pick us up on the imperial concubine's order."

Lu Wanning and the others hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "Eunuch Baoqing."

Baoqing stepped aside, shook his head and said: "I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it. The imperial concubine has been waiting in the palace early in the morning. The old lady and several young ladies should follow the villain into the palace."

Bao Qing led the way, and Mrs. Lin led Lu Wanning and others to follow Bao Qing. On the way, Lu Wanyi kept looking left and right, and then restrained herself after being squeezed by Mrs. Lin. Lu Wanning kept Tao's advice in mind and walked along the way.

He just walked with his head down and didn't look around.

Because Lu Wanyun had not yet given birth, she did not receive Lin, Lu Wanning and others in the main hall at this time. After Baoqing brought Lu Wanning and others to Zhaoyang Palace, Hong Jian, the eldest maid of Zhaoyang Palace, led them directly.

Arriving at Lu Wanyun's dormitory.

The bedroom was decorated very exquisitely and luxuriously, and the ornaments were all rare treasures outside. Light incense was burning in the room, and Lu Wanyun was sitting on the bed, wearing a purple forehead wiper.

Mrs. Lin led Lu Wanning and others to a position not far from Lu Wanyun's bed, knelt down and saluted, "My wife/maid pays homage to the noble concubine, peace be with you, the noble concubine."

"Grandma, please get up quickly. There are no outsiders here, so why are you so polite?" Lu Wanyun said and asked Hong Jian to help Lin up quickly and sit down on a chair nearby. Then he said to Lu Wanning and the others: "How many people do you have?"

Sisters, please get up too, I don’t need to be polite."

"Thank you, noble concubine." Lu Wanning and others thanked her and stood up, bowed their heads and stood behind Mrs. Lin.

Lin's eyes turned red when she saw Lu Wanyun's haggard face, "Is your health feeling better?"

"Grandma is worried, she's getting better now." Lu Wanyun smiled, unwilling to say more, and turned the topic to Lu Wanning and the others.

"The four sisters are all older now, and each of them is more and more beautiful. It makes me a little confused for a while who is who."

Mrs. Lin followed Lu Wanyun's words and said, "You don't see them very often throughout the year, so it's normal for you to not be able to tell them apart for a while. The one in green clothes is your second uncle's third sister Wanqing."

Lu Wanqing, who was called out, stepped forward and said, "Wanqing has met the imperial concubine."

Lu Wanyun smiled and nodded.

"The one wearing pink is your concubine's fourth sister, Wanrou."

Lu Wanrou also stepped forward and saluted, "Wanrou has met my sister."

The smile in Lu Wanyun's eyes faded slightly, but it quickly returned to its original state, still smiling and nodding.

Next is Lu Wanning.

Mrs. Lin pointed at Lu Wanning and said, "This is the fifth sister of your third uncle's family, Wanning."

Lu Wanning stepped forward to greet her in a polite manner. Lu Wanyun looked at Lu Wanning carefully and said, "I remember that the fifth sister had a cute Yuxue when she was a child. I also told the third aunt at the time that the fifth sister would definitely be like her when she grows up.

She is also a great beauty, but I didn't expect that the fifth sister is better than the old one, and her appearance is even better than that of the third aunt."

Lu Wanning's heart skipped a beat, and she lowered her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are too complimentary. Your servant, Pu Liu, is so handsome that you don't deserve Your Majesty's praise."

"It's a fact that you are stunningly beautiful. There's nothing you shouldn't deserve." Lu Wanyun said, shaking his head and saying, "It's just that the clothes you're wearing don't match you. It just so happens that I still have a few Shu brocades given by the emperor a few days ago.

, the color is very bright, just right for you little girls. When you leave, I will take out the red paper and bring it back to you to make two new clothes."

Lu Wanyun's words did not give Lu Wanning a chance to refuse. Lu Wanning had no choice but to say thank you: "My lord, I would like to express my gratitude to the noble concubine for the reward."

Lu Wanyi had already lost her temper when she heard Lu Wanyun praising Lu Wanning. Now seeing that Lu Wanyun and Lu Wanning had finally finished speaking, she stood up without waiting for Mrs. Lin to speak, "Sister, do you still remember me?"

?I am Wan Yi."

Mrs. Lin glared at Lu Wanyi angrily and said with a smile: "This is the sixth sister of your fourth uncle's family. She is usually a bit too lively."

"They are still young and should be more lively." Lu Wanyun said with a smile, but did not mention the reward.
