Chapter 37 Red Dot
Lu Wanning's words were like thunder exploding in the ears of Qingzhi and Qingdai, and they couldn't help but exclaimed at the same time: "Master!"
After the master decided to take them into the palace, the two sisters Yunxiang and Licao, the original maids beside the master, explained everything related to the master to them in detail.
As for almonds, the two sisters have told them countless times that the master must not touch them. As long as there is a little almond in the food the master eats, within half an hour, the master will have red dots on his face and body. If he measures it,
Too much, and it might even cost your life.
Lu Wanning glared at the two of them and said displeasedly: "What are you making all the fuss about?"
Qingzhi didn't care whether Lu Wanning was angry or not, and urged anxiously: "Master, don't you remember that you can't eat almonds? How can you eat almonds at this juncture?"
Lu Wanning raised her eyes and said calmly: "It's precisely because I can't eat almonds that I asked you to prepare almonds."
"Ah?" Qingzhi and Qingdai became even more confused.
Lu Wanning did not explain, only said: "Don't worry about that, just do what I say first."
After Qingzhi and Qingdai looked at each other, Qingzhi still did not disobey Lu Wanning's order and went to get the almonds first, while Qingdai combed Lu Wanning's hair at Lu Wanning's urging.
Qingzhi was still very fast. Before Qingdai had combed Lu Wanning's hair, Qingzhi came over with four or five fresh almonds wrapped in a handkerchief.
"Master." Qingzhi called Lu Wanning and handed the almonds to Lu Wanning. Lu Wanning glanced at the almonds in the handkerchief, only took two and wrapped them in the handkerchief, and asked Qingzhi to dispose of the other three.
After Qingdai helped Lu Wanning comb her hair, Lu Wanning carefully traced her eyebrows in front of the bronze mirror and applied lipstick. She did not apply powder or rouge. Although she didn't sweat much, she was not afraid of going out after applying powder and rouge.
The sweat turned into a painted face.
But the weather was hot in summer, and she always felt like she couldn't breathe after applying powder on her face.
After dressing up, Lu Wanning put on the dress Qingzhi mentioned, and looked in the mirror. After seeing that the person in the mirror was bright enough, Lu Wanning took a round fan and said to Qingzhi and Qingdai: "Okay.
Come on, let’s go to Zhaoyang Palace.”
"Yes, Master." Qingzhi and Qingdai were worried, not knowing what their master was going to do, but they still didn't say anything and followed Lu Wanning to Zhaoyang Palace.
When he was approaching the entrance of Zhaoyang Palace, Lu Wanning stopped, and then put the two almonds wrapped in the handkerchief into his mouth under the cover of the handkerchief.
Qingdai opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Lu Wanning looked at her and Qingdai stopped.
"Lu Meiren, you are here. The imperial concubine has been waiting for you for a long time." The palace attendant at the gate of Zhaoyang Palace saw Lu Wanning and said with a smile.
Lu Wanning smiled and nodded towards the palace attendants, and walked into the main hall of Zhaoyang Palace.
"I have met the imperial concubine." Lu Wanning bowed slightly and saluted.
Concubine Lu's eyes swept over Lu Wanning. Looking at the delicate guest dressed in front of her, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes, but this jealousy was soon replaced by satisfaction.
"Get up, you look very well dressed." Concubine Lu said with a smile.
A faint blush appeared on Lu Wanning's face, and she thanked her sheepishly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment."
Concubine Lu nodded and ordered: "When the emperor comes at noon, remember to behave well."
"Yes." Lu Wanning blushed and nodded, "Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely not let you down."
The two of them were eating snacks and drinking tea, while talking casually.
About two-quarters of an hour later, Chi Su, who was standing behind Concubine Lu, suddenly leaned forward and said something in Concubine Lu's ear.
After hearing this, Concubine Lu's eyes fell from the teacup in her hand to Lu Wanning's face again, and then she frowned.
Lu Wanning noticed Concubine Lu's expression, pretended to be confused, touched her face, and asked: "Why is the empress looking at me like this? But is there anything wrong with my makeup?"
Concubine Lu said: "You have two little red spots on your face."
When Lu Wanning heard this, as if she was afraid that Concubine Lu would not let her stay here at noon, she said hurriedly: "It's just two red ideas. There should be some fragrant powder here, please lend it to me, and I will use the powder to slightly
Just cover it up."
Concubine Lu thought for a while and nodded, "Let Chi Su take you there."
Lu Wanning thanked her gratefully: "Thank you, empress."
Lu Wanning stood up and was about to follow Chi Su to the back hall when she heard Concubine Lu shout again: "Wait!"
"Empress?" Lu Wanning called out in confusion.
Concubine Lu shook her head, "Maybe it can't be covered."
In just a few words, several red dots appeared on Lu Wanning's face.
Lu Wanning wanted to say something more, so Concubine Lu motioned to Hong Jian to get a bronze mirror and give it to Lu Wanning so that she could look at it herself.
Lu Wanning looked at her face in the mirror, screamed, and murmured: "How...how could it be? I was obviously fine when I went out!"
Concubine Lu was also confused. Lu Wanning's face was indeed very smooth when she first came in. Not to mention the red spots, even the pores were not visible. The red spots seemed to have grown while she was watching.
"Call the imperial doctor to take a look at Lu Meiren." Lu Guifei ordered.
Hong Jian responded and went to call the imperial doctor.
Lu Wanning walked back and forth in front of Concubine Lu with a face full of anxiety and worry. Finally, she focused on the tea and snacks she had just used.
Concubine Lu noticed Lu Wanning's gaze and felt a little unhappy, feeling that Lu Wanning was suspicious of her. However, seeing Lu Wanning's face, Concubine Lu turned off her anger again.
She said quietly: "Don't worry, if the problem lies with my Zhaoyang Palace, I will definitely give you an explanation."
Lu Wanning bit her lip and said: "I... I am not doubting the imperial concubine, I am just worried that there will be someone in the imperial concubine who deliberately wants to cause discord between the imperial concubine and my sisters."
Concubine Lu frowned, "Let's wait until the imperial doctor comes to see us."
Lu Wanning nodded and said no more.
The imperial doctor was not slow, but during the time the imperial doctor arrived, there were a lot more red spots on Lu Wanning's face, and they had even spread to the lower part of his neck.
The imperial physician invited by Hong Jian was Imperial Physician Liu, who often treated Lu Guifei and gained Lu Guifei's trust.
Before Dr. Liu could salute, Concubine Lu said: "There's no need for a formal courtesy. Dr. Liu, please look at Lu Meiren's face and see what's wrong with her face. Why are there so many little red dots on her face all of a sudden?"
"Yes, your concubine." Imperial Physician Liu responded, walked to Lu Wanning and said, "Miss Lu, please stretch out your hand, and I will check your pulse first."
