In the palace.
Lu Linglong entered the palace as a royal attendant. Although she was not as good as the palace maids around the real concubines, let alone the palace maids serving His Majesty, she was still His Majesty's concubine in name.
No matter how reluctant the queen was, she had to arrange a place for Lu Linglong to live.
It is located in Qingshuang Pavilion near the Imperial Study.
The head of Qingshuang Pavilion is Li Zhaoyi, the head of the nine concubines. Although she is not the only one favored in the harem, she is also in great favor. With such a position, such favor, and such a master position, a low-level royal attendant is assigned to her.
Consort Li was so angry that she laughed: "Your Majesty, are you disgusting me?"
"Your Majesty, how should we accommodate Lu Yushi? Should he live in a side hall?" asked the palace maid.
There has always been only Li Zhaoyi in Qingshuang Pavilion, and she is used to living alone.
Although Li Zhaoyi was angry, she wasn't so angry that she lost her mind. She smiled contemptuously and said, "If Your Majesty really cared about this, why would he only appoint one Master Attendant? And now he seems to be still in a coma. I'm afraid there's some story behind this."
"Just pretend you don't know about this and don't talk about it later."
What nonsense are you talking about?
Of course, it was Master Lu who was sent to Qingshuang Pavilion unconscious, and all the palace servants agreed.
Li Zhaoyi said again: "Where should she live? Where is a good place for her to live? She can live in the side hall at the back."
There is little sunlight in the side hall at the back and it is a bit dark. Even the palace servants don't live there. Letting Lu Linglong live in the side hall at the back is naturally a test. If she really wins the favor of His Majesty, His Majesty will naturally not let her live in such a place. It won't be too late to change it then.
Otherwise, my little Master Attendant would still be at my mercy.
The place where Concubine Li lived was cleaned every day, so there was no need to tidy up much. Just put the person in and put the clothes and bedding in the allotment.
Soon the imperial physician arrived.
Concubine Li was surprised for a moment. She didn't call the imperial physician, but she realized in a flash that it was His Majesty who called.
She also wanted to know what the emperor was thinking, so she followed the imperial physician to the back. Concubine Li did not go in either, but waited outside.
It was only a short while after daybreak at this moment, and Consort Li was already exhausted from waiting, yawning non-stop.
The imperial physician came out soon, and Consort Li asked impatiently, "What's going on with Master Lu?"
The imperial physician bowed and replied, "I don't know."
Don’t know?
Li Zhaoyi sneered, how could she not know?
This is something that cannot be said!
Unable to just let it go, Consort Li turned and walked towards the main hall: "In that case, then I won't send the imperial physician."
She had a lot of things to do. She had to pay her respects to the Queen soon and would have to ask her why she was sent here.
Not long after the imperial physician left, two palace maids were sent from the Palace Department to serve him.
Lu Linglong was woken up by choking. She coughed so hard that she could hardly breathe. After finally catching her breath, she looked around and asked, "Where is this?"
"To answer Master Attendant, this is Qingshuang Pavilion." The maid placed the medicine bowl aside.
Lu Linglong's mind was confused for a moment, and she didn't even understand the title "Master Attendant": "Qingshuang Pavilion? What Qingshuang Pavilion? When did Pingyang Marquis's Mansion have a Qingshuang Pavilion?"
As soon as she asked, the memories of last night came flooding back to her and she remembered.
Lu Linglong snatched Qin Wan's wine and drank it while walking. Who knew that the wine was so strong that she soon lost consciousness. Oh, who did she seem to see?
The fourth prince!
Lu Linglong regained her memory and looked at the palace maid happily: "You said this is Qingshuang Pavilion? Could it be that this is the Fourth Prince's residence? That's not right. You called me Master Attendant? What is Master Attendant? There's no such title for concubines in the prince's residence, right?"
The two maids looked at each other in bewilderment. They were truly devastated. They had fought tooth and nail to serve the new concubine, only to find she was a brainless one. So what if she was favored by His Majesty? In this palace, those without brains won't get far.
Both palace maids thought that Lu Linglong was the emperor's new favorite, so they served her attentively.
Xiaolan whispered, "Master Attendant, you're drunk and have forgotten everything, right? You are now favored by His Majesty and are already His Majesty's Master Attendant."
"Your Majesty? Favor?"
A huge surprise hit Lu Linglong. She was so happy that she felt dizzy and hurried to get up: "I entered the palace? I actually entered the palace? Oh my God, I am the Master Attendant! Should I go to pay my respects to the Empress? Is it too late now?"
Xiaolan picked up the medicine bowl and handed it to her: "Master, don't get excited. Drink the medicine first. It's past the time to pay respects to the Empress. You can go tomorrow."
Lu Linglong was extremely happy. She had no idea what happened yesterday. She quickly took the medicine and drank it in one gulp. In the past, she would have been hypocritical and complained about the bitterness, but now, she was not afraid at all.
She must be taking the pregnancy medicine! Once she gives birth, won't her status be elevated?
Of course, she also forgot to ask what rank the Master Attendant was.
After staying quietly for a day, Lu Linglong went to pay her respects to the Queen on the second day, but was unexpectedly turned away.
Also rejected were the concubines who came to pay their respects in the freezing weather.
The Queen hadn't originally said that there was no need to pay respects today, but when she heard that Lu Yu Shi had arrived, she sent a message that she would not see anyone.
Just for such a thing, the Queen Mother was angry with them as well.
Concubine Min glanced at Lu Linglong. With her status, there was no need for her to bother with a low-ranking master attendant. She turned around and left.
None of the three concubines paid any attention to Lu Linglong.
Under the three concubines, Li Zhaoyi is the leader, and she is too lazy to pay attention to this idiot.
She threw Lu Linglong in the side hall of Qingshuang Pavilion, and His Majesty didn't say a word. It was enough to show that His Majesty didn't take her seriously at all. Naturally, she didn't need to take a mere Master Attendant seriously.
Concubine Li glanced at Lu Linglong, who was dressed in gorgeous attire, smiled contemptuously, and turned away.
"Sister Zhaoyi, wait for me." Xiuyi caught up with Li Zhaoyi with a smile, and couldn't help but make some sarcastic remarks.
Soon, all the concubines of the third rank and above left.
Wei Baolin looked Lu Linglong up and down and sneered, "Sister Rong thought her honor and favor were exclusive. Look, isn't there another Master Attendant?"
Rong Cairen was promoted from Baolin just yesterday. She and Wei Baolin were both from the same Baolin family, and they had many disputes. Now that she has been promoted, she naturally feels that she is one level higher than Wei Baolin: "That is also my blessing, sister, you still need to work hard."
After saying that, Rong Cairen abandoned Lu Linglong again and hated her so much. Yesterday was the glorious moment of her advancement, and the enthronement ceremony should have been held.
Who knew there would suddenly be a Lu Yu Shi? The Empress was annoyed and didn't even mention holding a canonization ceremony for her.
Seeing Lu Linglong today, Rong Cairen was furious: "Master Lu, why didn't you show any courtesy to me?"
Lu Linglong was puzzled: "Why do we have to bow? You and I are both concubines, there is no difference."
Rong Cairen looked at Lu Linglong in astonishment: "Master Lu, I am a fifth-rank talent, and you are just a low-ranking Master Attendant. Naturally, you should salute me."
