Compared with the dishes they had when they were in the Chuxiu Palace, today’s dishes are not only delicious in color and aroma, but even the presentation is very exquisite. It can be seen that the chefs in the kitchen have worked hard, and the fruits are also fresh fruits in season.

, sweet and delicious.

I just don’t know if she can keep eating such exquisite dishes?

Today's show girls had just been crowned, and those in the kitchen were not sure who would be favored and who would not be favored, so everyone's meals were carefully prepared.

But after some time, or maybe not even after a while, tomorrow the meals of these beautiful girls may be different.

When a new beautiful lady enters the palace, it stands to reason that the emperor should choose the new one to sleep with her tonight, and the first one to sleep with her will definitely be the most valued by the emperor.

In this way, the meal prepared by the dining room for this person tomorrow will definitely be more careful than that of others.

And those who have not been favored by the emperor for a long time will definitely be looked down upon in the dining room.

As for the candidate to serve in the bed at night, Lu Wanning had a pretty good idea. It was either Weng Qian or Cui Ru. After all, both of them were the highest-ranking show girls this time. Since the emperor gave them high-ranks, it meant that regardless of whether they were from

In any case, there was always something about them that the emperor valued, whether it was their family background or their appearance.

After finishing the meal, Qingzhi and Qingdai took the time to tidy up everything in the house while Lu Wanning was taking a nap.

After Lu Wanning woke up, the two of them gathered around Lu Wanning and advised Lu Wanning to dress up first.

Lu Wanning saw what the two girls were thinking, shook her head, and said to the two of them: "Don't waste your labor money. The emperor cannot come to our place tonight."

"What if?" Qingzhi said, "What if the emperor comes, and it will be too late for the young lady to dress up any more."

"There is no chance." Lu Wanning shook his head and said: "If the emperor enters the palace tonight, he will probably visit Weng Jieyu's Zhilan Palace or Cui Jieyu's Chenxiang Pavilion. Even if the emperor does not go to them, there will be Zheng Meiren behind him.

Qu Cairen and others will never get my turn."

"The slaves don't understand." Qingzhi and Qingdai said, since the emperor could go to Zheng Meiren, Qu Cairen and the others, why couldn't he come to Linglong Pavilion?

Lu Wanning did not explain it to the two of them in detail, but said, "You will understand it gradually in the future."

If she were a beautiful girl with an ordinary background, maybe the emperor might come to their Linglong Pavilion tonight, but she happened to be a girl from the Zhongyong Hou Mansion. The emperor would let her enter the palace, but he would never be too fond of her.

Because the emperor would not easily allow two beloved concubines from the Zhongyong Hou Mansion to appear in the palace at the same time.

If she wanted to win the emperor's favor, she would have to work hard, otherwise she would have to wait until Lu Wanyun fell out of favor.

Qingzhi and Qingdai didn't know why Lu Wanning was so swearing that the emperor would definitely not come to Linglong Pavilion, but with their trust in Lu Wanning, they didn't urge Lu Wanning to dress up properly.

There were not just one or two people in the palace who were paying attention to who would be his bed attendant tonight. Almost the entire harem was waiting to see who the emperor would choose to be his bed attendant tonight.

The newly promoted Cui Jieyu had dressed up early and was quietly waiting at Chenxiang Pavilion for the emperor to come tonight.

She was particularly confident that she would be the first among this group of beautiful ladies to sleep with her. Although Weng Jieyu and she were both given the title of Jieyu, the emperor always valued their Cui family. Weng Jieyu

She is just the daughter of a Hanlin bachelor, why should I argue with her?

Who would have thought that everyone waited and waited that night, but finally got the news that something happened in the previous court, and the emperor had to deal with political affairs tonight and did not plan to enter the harem.

Lu Wanning was applying her own specially prepared fragrant powder to her face. When she heard Zhou Man say that the emperor would not enter the harem tonight, she just said lightly: "I understand."

Zhou Man was a little confused when he saw Lu Wanning's attitude. He felt that the master was taking this matter too lightly. Who among the new concubines who entered the palace wouldn't want to be the first to be favored? But the master didn't seem to be disappointed at all when he heard the news.

.

What was his master thinking? Zhou Man tried to figure out what Lu Wanning was thinking and then left.

After Lu Wanning applied her face, she asked Qingzhi to straighten her hair. Seeing that it was getting late, she went to bed to rest. She would have to pay her respects to the Queen tomorrow morning, so she couldn't be late.

Lu Wanning had a good night's sleep and got up early the next day. After washing, Qingdai helped her comb her hair into a bun and put on the clothes she had chosen last night.

Today she is wearing an apricot yellow cross-collared short skirt with a right hem, a pea green six-panel Xiang skirt on the lower body, a shawl of the same color on her arms, and a scented bag around her waist.

Light sachet.

After packing up, she took Qingzhi to Fengyi Palace.

When Lu Wanning went there, a few concubines with low status and little favor had just arrived in Fengyi Palace. The seats of these people were in the corners. Lu Wanning's seat was not much different from that of these people. She was led by the palace maid.

Then he sat down in his seat and did not raise his head to look around when he noticed the scrutinizing eyes on him.

Not long after Lu Wanning arrived, the other concubines also came one after another. Only the Queen's seat at the top and the first seat on the left were still empty.

After a while, Queen Lin Ruoxue came out holding the hand of the palace maid and sat down at the top position.

All the concubines hurriedly knelt down to pay their respects.

"I have met the Empress, the Empress Jin An."

The queen glanced at the few new faces kneeling below and said softly: "Everyone, please get up."

"Thank you, Queen." Everyone thanked them and stood up and sat down in their seats.

After Lu Wanning sat down, she glanced at the empty seat again. That seat should be where the imperial concubine Lu Wanyun was. The imperial concubine did not come to pay her respects to the queen.

Lu Wanning didn't know whether the imperial concubine didn't come to pay her respects to the queen on weekdays, or whether she just didn't come today. Seeing that the queen and the concubines didn't show any surprise, it might be that the imperial concubine didn't come to pay her respects to the queen in the past.

Lu Wanning was just thinking when she heard someone say, "I thought I could see the imperial concubine sister today, but I didn't expect the imperial concubine sister could bear to not come today. It has been a while since the imperial concubine sister came to pay her respects to the queen, right?

"

Lu Wanning raised her eyes slightly and looked towards the speaker. The speaker was sitting first on the right. She was wearing a purple dress and a gilded emerald five-tailed phoenix hairpin on her head. Her eyes were raised and her red lips were plump.

, with a touch of sarcasm in his voice.

This should be Concubine He Tongwen, right?

Concubine Jing is the daughter of General Longhu. She entered the palace during the election in the second year of Mingde. In recent years, she has also been favored by the emperor and has given birth to a eldest princess.

Hearing this, the Queen picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and then said: "The imperial concubine has not been in good health since her miscarriage. The emperor personally spoke and exempted her from daily greetings. If the imperial concubine is envious, she can ask the emperor to let her go."

Your Majesty also spared your greetings."
