"Eunuch Zhou, I made a cake and wanted to give it to the emperor. Please let him know."
The concubine who came was cute and playful. She was wearing a light green palace skirt and looked only seventeen or eighteen years old. She had a sweet smile on her face and two dimples at the corners of her mouth.
"Please wait a moment, Lady Wei. I will go in and make the announcement."
Zhou Guisheng spoke politely and turned to enter the Yangxin Palace.
It was almost evening now.
Emperor Chengxuan had just met with several court officials and was now dealing with the remaining government affairs.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Wei Liangdi has requested an audience. She said she has made some pastries for Your Majesty to taste."
Zhou Guisheng came in and reported.
"Wei Liangdi?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chengxuan paused with the brush in his hand and a look of doubt appeared on his face.
Obviously, he didn't remember who Wei Liangdi was at all.
"She is the young lady who just entered the palace during this selection. The Emperor personally conferred the title upon her. Have you forgotten?"
Zhou Guisheng quickly reminded him.
"There are so many people who entered the palace through selection, how can I remember them all?"
Emperor Chengxuan continued to review the memorials without looking up, and simply said, "Just say I'm busy and let her go back."
"I obey your order."
When Zhou Guisheng left the Yangxin Palace, he brought Emperor Chengxuan's words to Wei Liangdi.
There was a hint of loss on Wei Liangdi's fair little face.
"Oh, all right then. Could you please give this box of cakes to His Majesty, Eunuch Zhou? I made them myself. Your Majesty, please be sure to taste them."
Wei Liangdi stared at Zhou Guisheng with her round eyes, full of hope.
This made Zhou Guisheng unable to bear to refuse.
"Okay, when Your Majesty is done, I will give it to Your Majesty to try."
He raised his hand to take the pastry.
When Wei Liangdi saw that he was willing to accept it, she was immediately overjoyed.
"Thank you so much, Eunuch Zhou! You are such a kind man!"
After she finished speaking excitedly, she turned around and left happily with her maid.
"Eunuch Zhou, who is she?"
At this time, little Shuangbao, who had been hiding and peeking, jumped out and asked curiously.
"Oh, little princess! Why are you hiding there? The emperor has been saying that he will let you see him as soon as you return!"
When Zhou Guisheng saw Xiao Shuangbao, he immediately smiled and said, "That's a new concubine in the palace, Wei Liangdi."
"Oh, but didn't Shuangbao just hear you say that Daddy is still busy and can't see anyone? That Wei Liangdi didn't let her see Daddy. Since Daddy is still busy, Shuangbao should come back later."
Little Shuangbao said very sensibly.
"Little Princess, you're joking! How can you compare to her? The Emperor naturally doesn't have time to see her, but if it were you, no matter how busy the Emperor is, he would definitely have time to see you."
Zhou Guisheng smiled and said these flattering words, then took Xiao Shuangbao into the main hall.
Neither of them knew that their conversation was heard clearly by Wei Liangdi, who had not yet walked far.
Wei Liangdi's face, which had been somewhat happy at first, suddenly became gloomy!
"My Lord, let's go back!"
When the palace maid Lvliu beside her saw that she seemed to be about to get angry, she quickly pulled her away.
Only when they reached a place where there was no one around did Lvliu let go of Wei Liangdi.
"Why are you pulling me so fast?"
Wei Liangdi said angrily.
"My lady, if I hadn't held you back, and you had lost control of your temper and lost your temper in the Yangxin Palace, and the Emperor knew about it, what good would have happened to you?"
Green Willow said, panting.
According to the selection rules, each selected girl can bring a maid from home.
Lvliu was brought from Wei Liangdi's home as her most trusted servant in the palace.
She grew up with Wei Liangdi and they were like sisters, so she naturally understood Wei Liangdi's temper very well.
That's a firecracker that explodes at the slightest touch.
"Really? I'm so unhappy! I personally went to the imperial kitchen to knead the dough and make cakes, and even got two blisters on my hands, but the emperor didn't even bother to see me. On the contrary, this little princess can see him whenever she wants."
Wei Liangdi didn't get angry, but she did complain, "What on earth is the emperor thinking? None of us concubines have ever been favored by him since we entered the palace.
"How can we conceive a child if this continues?
"If I don't have a child, how will I gain a foothold in the palace in the future?"
After she said this, Lvliu also started to worry.
"My lady, don't be discouraged. I have an idea!"
Suddenly, Lvliu's eyes lit up.
"What's the idea?"
Wei Liangdi looked at her quickly.
The reason why her family let her bring Lvliu into the palace was not only because they had a good relationship as master and servant, but also because Lvliu was smart and quick-witted.
"Since the Emperor dotes on this little princess so much, why don't you start with her? If you can win her favor, you can let her take you to see the Emperor!"
Green Willow said immediately.
Wei Liangdi's eyes lit up when she heard this.
But soon, she shook her head.
"How can that be possible? Although I was unhappy just now, this little princess is too young. Wouldn't it be wrong for me to take advantage of her by doing this?"
Wei Liangdi didn't want to do such a thing.
"Oh my dear, you're mistaken. If you truly treat the little princess well, and you happen to meet the emperor by her side, and he notices you, how can you be considered taking advantage of the little princess?"
Lu Liu immediately counseled her, "After all, you have to have a child first! If you really feel you owe her something later, just treat the little princess twice as well, isn't that enough?"
