Eunuch Li stood in front of Jiang Zhili and said, "Lady Jiang, according to the rules, His Majesty will summon you to the Palace of Heavenly Purity tonight."
The Palace of Heavenly Purity is the emperor's bedroom.
According to the rules, the nobles who were chosen by the master of the palace to enter the palace would be carried to the Palace of Heavenly Purity that night, of course, this was just according to the rules.
Over the years, many nobles have been chosen by the Empress Dowager to enter the palace.
Ever since the Empress Dowager discovered that His Majesty was ill, she began to release large numbers of people from the harem.
The number of women selected through beauty pageants and those chosen to enter the palace on a daily basis was as numerous as the number of fish in the sea.
For the sake of the prince, Pei Lin was very cooperative at first, and sometimes even summoned two concubines one after another at night.
Despite Pei Lin's diligent efforts, the concubines in the harem were still pregnant. As time went by, Pei Lin reduced the frequency of his visits to the harem.
After all, human energy is limited. Although Pei Lin is physically strong, he can't stand such strenuous work every night. He also has to deal with state affairs during the day. He is afraid that he will die of exhaustion after a long time.
Pei Lin put the issue of offspring aside for the time being, as health is the capital of the country. However, deep down, he was still unwilling to do so.
Pei Lin had let it go for now, but the Empress Dowager hadn't let it go...
The Empress Dowager still held a little expectation for the Jiang family's legitimate daughter to enter the palace this time. What if this time it really happened as the host said!
Jiang Zhili naturally understood the deeper meaning behind Eunuch Li's words. A smile appeared on her face beneath her veil, and she spoke in a gentle tone, "Thank you for the reminder, Eunuch Li."
Even if the emperor did not come tonight, she believed that he would come soon.
After all, the Jiang family's daughter was chosen by the Empress Dowager to enter the palace...
Eunuch Li smiled and retreated.
After Jiang Zhili signaled Xiaotao to close the palace gate, he turned and entered the bedroom.
The bedroom in Xunyu Palace is simple and plain, and a little hot.
There was no ice basin in the palace. Jiang Zhili had just entered the palace and her rank was only a noble lady. The Ministry of Internal Affairs would not expedite the distribution of her share of ice basin today.
Jiang Zhili got up early and sat in the sedan chair for a long time. Now he felt tired and sleepy.
She is a modern person and wears short-sleeved shirts and shorts in summer. She is really not used to such heavy clothes.
Guessing that no one would come to this remote palace, Jiang Zhili simply took off her outer robe and removed the veil, revealing her beautiful face.
Jiang Zhili lazily lay on the chaise longue, wondering when Pei Lin would come to see her.
It should be soon. The imperial concubine will even arrange for Pei Lin to come to her.
The original body's appearance was not very outstanding, and the imperial concubine would not take her seriously. Instead, the imperial concubine would be alert to the woman that Pei Lin sent people to find.
But no one expected that the woman Pei Lin was looking for was her...
At this time, Xiaotao, carrying a food box, walked in from outside the bedroom.
Xiaotao put the food box in her hand on the table and looked in the direction of the chaise longue while talking.
"My dear, the Imperial Kitchen is out of food. Luckily, Li Gonglu was passing by and took me to the Imperial Concubine's small kitchen to prepare some side dishes and snacks.
The palace of the Imperial Concubine is truly magnificent, noble lady...ah!"
Xiao Tao was shocked when she saw the beauty on the chaise longue.
Her eyes were wide open and her mouth was open.
Xiao Tao's cheeks flushed and she stammered, "Who are you? Where is my lady..."
I saw the woman on the chaise longue, with a small face like a peach fairy, and her narrow eyes contained infinite charm.
What made her blush and heartbeat was that she was only wearing a thin undershirt! Her long, slender collarbone was exposed from beneath her white neck, arousing endless reverie...
Xiaotao couldn't help swallowing.
The beauty on the couch was really too attractive, with her fair skin, small face, and black hair.
For the first time, Xiaotao felt that it was a pity that she did not go to that private school to learn more about Chinese philosophy. Now that she encountered such an amazing scene, she could not even utter a word of praise.
Jiang Zhili looked at Xiaotao's blank eyes. She stretched lazily and stepped on the ground with her white feet.
On the small table, there was a bowl of white porridge, two plates of vegetables, and a few pieces of osmanthus cake.
Jiang Zhili stretched out her white fingers, picked up the osmanthus cake on the plate, and put it between her lips.
The fragrance of osmanthus spreads between lips and teeth.
Jiang Zhili's voice was delicate and lazi, "The snacks in the palace are indeed better than those in the Jiang Mansion. They are really exquisite and delicious."
The original body's voice was already tender, and coupled with this stunning face, it was really itchy.
Xiao Tao finally came back to her senses from her shock. She grew up with Jiang Zhili and was very familiar with Jiang Zhili's voice.
She spoke uncertainly: "You, you are a lady..."
This voice is exactly the same as the young lady's.
Jiang Zhili sat on a stool, leaning his head to look at the shocked Xiaotao.
She raised her lips slightly, then stretched out her slender hand and pulled down the right side of her shirt slightly, revealing the red mole below her collarbone.
The red mole on her fair skin made Xiao Tao dizzy and her face flushed.
Jiang Zhili opened his mouth and asked, "If I'm not your lady, then who is?"
She casually said that she needed to hide her true appearance in the Jiang Mansion and had not shown her true face to anyone for so many years. Now that the time was ripe, she restored her true appearance.
Xiao Tao's heart was pounding and her eyes became brighter as she listened.
She knew that her daughter was the most capable person!
After Jiang Zhili finished speaking, he lowered his head to eat his porridge and stopped talking.
Xiaotao stood beside her, serving her excitedly.
