Chapter 22 His Majesty will like the noble
The next day, when Love woke up, the sun was already high in the sky outside.
Shanglu was sitting on a round stool in front of the table doing needlework.
Honeysuckle is making a lace.
Luo Fu blocked the bed curtains, a little dazed: "Are we... still home?"
Seeing that she was awake, Shang Lu and Ren Dong put down their work, walked over to her, and pushed aside the bed curtains on the left and right, saying with a smile: "The girl is confused in her sleep. We are already in Qingzhou. She went out to play last night."
Luo Fu hugged the thin blanket and looked at the scorching sky outside: "It's almost noon now, aren't we going on the road today?"
Honeysuckle smiled and said, "We need to hurry, but Supervisor Cao said we've been traveling for two days straight and are exhausted, so we won't be getting up early. This way, everyone can get some extra sleep. If we get enough sleep, we'll feel better."
Cao Dajian was the older eunuch.
After traveling together for two days, Shanglu and Rendong were able to speak a few words to the eunuchs, and they followed them in calling the older eunuchs that.
I also know that in this team, apart from Chang Jin, Cao Dajian is the most powerful.
Love was happy that she didn’t have to get up early today. She got out of bed, washed and changed her clothes.
During the meal, Chang Jin also came and said with a smile: "This servant is here to serve you, my lord."
He said he was serving, but he didn't actually serve the food. He just stood aside and watched.
Luo Fu looked at him and saw that his lips were not as blue as yesterday and there were fewer red bloodshot eyes. She knew that he had listened to her and felt more satisfied with him.
Her grandmother helped her find the nanny who had taught Luo Zhen since she was a child to inquire about it.
The nanny said that after entering the palace, one must have a pleasing old palace lady by one's side.
Not to mention palace maids or eunuchs.
In this way, not to mention other things, you will also be able to know more about the etiquette in the palace.
If Love wants to practice the policy of inaction, she must first strengthen herself.
Otherwise, you will know nothing after entering the palace.
Not to mention that she wanted to sleep for six hours every day, even if she slept for only one hour, she was afraid that something would go wrong and she would be punished with food.
If this continues, you won’t be able to live a long life.
Maybe one day he will run into bad luck and die.
Although Chang Jin is a bit sinister, he is not a bad person. He is devoted to her and can listen to her.
If I could stay with her, I wouldn't have to bother looking for someone else.
It's just that I'm a little too ambitious.
But she had already told him that she was not the type to strive for the best, and if he chose to stay, it would mean that he would give up.
From now on, let's all lie down and sleep for six hours a day, so that we can live a long and healthy life.
Murong Jin was originally standing aside. When he saw Luo Fu looking at him, he stepped forward with his hands folded: "Your Excellency is looking at me and smiling. Do you like me?"
Luo Fu was already used to him talking like this, and said with a smile: "You treat me so wholeheartedly, so of course I like you."
Murong Jin said "Oh" and pointed to the eunuch who came to deliver the food: "They treat you wholeheartedly. Do you like them too?"
Who doesn’t like people who treat them well?
Luo Fu was a little puzzled: "Of course I like it."
The eunuchs all shuddered, and without daring to breathe, they set the food in place and carefully left.
Murong Jin said with a forced smile, "My lord, please take a look at today's meal and see if it suits your taste."
Love glanced at it.
Shredded chicken, white fungus, and sweet-scented osmanthus fish, sour bamboo shoots and shredded chicken soup, rose-flavored roulade rolls…
Everything is exquisite and delicious.
There were all kinds of things on the table.
Luo Fu paused, then looked up at Murong Jin: "Is your Majesty very kind to the concubines?"
Murong Jin was startled. "Why did your Excellency suddenly ask about His Majesty's arrival?"
Luo Fu said, "I was thinking you were just here to pick up the beautiful ladies. The motorcade had ice and ice cream available. The accommodations were well-prepared, and the food was incredibly good. I'm sure the concubines in the palace are better off than this. You also said that His Majesty treats people very well..."
She understood and said, "No wonder your majesty has more than a thousand concubines."
…
Murong Jin was stunned for a moment. "My Lord, do you still think that even if you have to pay your respects to the Empress every day at noon, that's acceptable?"
Luo Fu looked at him in surprise: "Chang Jin, you are really smart."
Murong Jin: "Hahahahahahahahaha..."
Honeysuckle also laughed: "In this case, even if the rules in the palace are a little strict, it doesn't matter. After all, when we are at home, the rules are more important than anything else."
Shang Lu scolded her: "What are you thinking? Your Majesty is fine, but are others also fine?"
Ren Dong thought of Cui and Luo Zhen, her smile froze, and she sighed, "That's right. It would be best for the young lady to meet His Majesty. Our young lady is a good person and so beautiful. His Majesty will definitely like her when he sees her. As long as His Majesty likes her, the young lady doesn't have to be afraid of others."
Luo Fu nodded: "It would be best if His Majesty likes me."
Murong Jin stared at her with a smile and said, "Don't worry, my dear. His Majesty will like you."
Luo Fu just thought he was saying auspicious words and didn't take it seriously. She continued to eat seriously as usual.
Murong Jin was also watching seriously from the side.
I even doubt whether these things are really that delicious?
After dinner, we rested for a while and then set off when the sun was at its hottest.
Love was a little worried that the eunuchs, guards and horses accompanying them would suffer from heatstroke.
But this was someone else's arrangement, so she couldn't say anything about it.
Fortunately, we have quite some time to rest, and there are some summer drinks in the water bags we carry with us, so we should be fine.
The sun was scorching outside. Shanglu and Honeysuckle held umbrellas in front of them to block the sun for Love and helped her get on the carriage.
Murong Jin, however, was exposed to the scorching sun calmly.
Everyone else's face was flushed from the sun.
However, his face was as cold as jade, without a single drop of sweat. He lifted his robe and followed Love into the carriage.
Cao Dajian, who was waiting nearby, now felt much more relieved.
Lady Luo was afraid of heat, so she used ice in her carriage and in her room.
Your Majesty is often with her. Except for the brain attack on the first day, she has been fine for the past two days.
This is truly incredible.
Your Majesty is so afraid of the cold that you always take care to keep yourself warm, but your brain disease still flares up from time to time.
Medication is of no use and the condition is getting worse.
Everything was fine when I was with Concubine Luo.
Maybe with Concubine Luo by your side, your brain disease can be slowly cured.
Once your Majesty's brain disease is cured, those of you who serve you will be able to live longer.
With a smile on his face, Cao Dajian stopped riding his horse and got into his own carriage.
The long convoy moved forward slowly.
At noon when the scorching sun was scorching the earth, there were few people on the streets.
But the shops on both sides were full of people watching the moving convoy.
Two girls dressed as maids were hiding in the shade under the eaves of the shop.
One of the women with twin buns looked at the convoy that took up the entire street and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "What a grand ceremony, with guards everywhere! I wonder what kind of person is worthy of such a grand ceremony."
The maidservant beside her was listless. She wiped the sweat from her face and neck with a handkerchief and complained impatiently, "You still have the mood to look at other things? The young lady asked me to go with you to see Love, but she didn't say it was at this time! Look at it this day, you're already dying from the sun just after going out, not to mention you have to walk such a long distance. You want to die, but I don't!"
The two maids were Chun Xing and the big maid who were assigned by Cui Yuzhen to see Luo Fu's miserable condition last night.
Chun Xing had a guilty conscience, and when she heard Cui Yuzhen ask the maid to go with her to see the place, she was almost scared to death.
All I could think about was escaping at night.
But escaping is easy, as the indenture is still in the Cui family, which means it is a dead end.
So I calmed down, thought about it all night, and decided to take a gamble.
She could see that the head maid didn't want to go.
He deliberately used Cui Yuzhen's words to pressure her and pulled her out at noon.
The head maid was extremely unhappy and wanted to tear Chun Xing to pieces.
But he was afraid that Chun Xing would report it to Cui Yuzhen, so he had to hold his nose and leave.
Complaining all the way.
This is the effect that Chun Xing wants.
She pretended to be embarrassed and said, "My dear sister, don't be upset. It's noon now. If you move, you will get a layer of sunburned. I'm not stupid. I don't want to suffer. It's just that I have to obey the girl's orders. The place where Luo Fu married is remote. I am used to doing rough work. My legs and feet are strong, so it's okay. But my sister was raised as a girl. I'm afraid she will walk slower. If we don't go out now, if we delay, we may not be able to come back at night.
Well, that place is where poor scoundrels live. If you run into a drunkard at night..."
The head maid's face changed when she heard this, and she didn't want to go even more.
She rolled her eyes, took out some money from her purse and stuffed it into Chun Xing's hand, saying with a smile, "My dear sister, I really can't walk that far. You go ahead. I'll wait for you in the Fushun Tea House."
Chun Xing was stunned for a moment, and said with some fear: "If the girl knew..."
The eldest maid hurriedly said, "Tell her about it when you come back, and we'll go and tell the young lady together. She won't know."
Chun Xing looked at the money in her hand and hesitated.
The eldest maid gritted her teeth and took out a small piece of silver from her purse and stuffed it into her hand: "Good sister, please help me. If I really follow you, I'm afraid I will faint on the way, and then you will be the one in trouble."
Chun Xing grabbed the silver in her hand and sighed, "Okay then, sister, you must wait for me here."
The maid breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Don't worry, go quickly."
Chun Xing turned the corner with the change in her pocket and found a teahouse where she sat comfortably until evening before leaving.
She was also smart. She did not go directly to Fushun Teahouse. Instead, she walked around the street twice until she was sweating profusely, her hair was messy, and her face was red. Then she slowly walked to Fushun Teahouse.
The head maid had been waiting obediently in the teahouse.
She went over and told her the words she had thought of a long time ago, and then they returned to Cui's house together, each of them saying something nice to Cui Yuzhen.
Cui Yuzhen had no doubts and chuckled as she heard it: "Luo Fu, that fool, is really a joke. It's a pity that someone from the inner court is about to come and see her. It will be difficult to listen to her jokes from now on."
Chun Xing hurriedly said, "If the young lady wants to hear it, I am willing to live next door to Luo Fu, keep an eye on her, and report back every day. If the young lady goes to the capital, I will also have someone write a letter to her every day."
Cui Yuzhen nodded in satisfaction and said generously, "That's it. You're smart and efficient. I'll promote you to a first-class maid. Even though you live over there, your monthly salary will increase, so you won't suffer any loss."
Chun Xing was overjoyed and quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, young lady!"
She finally made it!
The next step is to find someone to go back to Luo Mansion and find out where the second Miss Luo got married in Qingzhou.
She can now cover up her lie!
