Empress, she doesn't want to fight

Chapter 5 Lu Meiren

Eunuch Qi smiled politely, handed the brochure to Jiang Man, and introduced the people he brought to Jiang Man one by one, "This is Tao Hong, who served Concubine Ning in Shou'an Palace before. She was the most careful and prudent. This one is called Yi Cui, she used to work in the Shang Gong Bureau, she was a very outstanding needlework girl, this one is called Vanilla..."

After listening to Eunuch Qi's introduction with a smile, Jiang Man said, "The maids should keep Taohong, Yicui, and Vanilla, and the eunuchs should be Xiaoliuzi, Xiaoshuanzi."

Jiang Man chose the candidates at will, and kept the first few according to the order introduced by Eunuch Qi. Anyway, she didn't know these people well, so it didn't matter who she chose. Besides, she was just showing up, so even if someone paid attention to her, Not too much trouble.

Those who were not selected followed Eunuch Qi and left, and the few remaining people came forward to meet the new master.

"Slaves/villains pay respects to Cai Ren."

"Get up." Jiang Man called out, and said: "There are few people here, and there are no rules on weekdays, but I think you all know what is the most taboo in this palace, so I won't say more. Those who have other thoughts advise you to leave as soon as possible."

Several people looked at each other, and knelt down and said in unison: "Don't worry, slaves/little people will never do things that betray the master."

Jiang Man nodded, neither believing nor disbelief, "Since that's the case, Taohong, Yicui, and Vanilla will follow Lianqiu first, and Xiaoliuzi and Xiaoshuanzi will follow Xiaodouzi first. Listen to them what you are going to do on weekdays." Just do it."

"Yes, talented people."

After finishing what should be said, everyone rewarded each other with money, and Jiang Man waved them away.

For the next ten days, Emperor Yong'an did not invite Jiang Man to sleep with him, and Jiang Man's life returned to the tranquility before, except for a few more people in Yufu Garden, it seemed that there was no change from before.

But it seems that there is no change from before, which does not mean that there is really no change. For example, in the past, she would never receive an invitation to a party like Lu Meiren's birthday party.

Jiang Man took the invitation card sent by Lu Meiren and rubbed her forehead with a headache. Although she had never been in contact with Lu Meiren, she had heard about Lu Meiren's personality. She was most arrogant and domineering. The low-ranking ones, even those high-ranking empresses have to give way.

However, he did have arrogance. He has been in the palace for two years and has been honored and favored constantly. It is not that no one has put eye drops in front of Emperor Yong'an, but after hearing this, Emperor Yong'an not only did not blame Lu Meiren, but also praised Lu Meiren's true temperament.

With Emperor Yong'an's praise, Lu Meiren became more flamboyant in her actions. Such a favorite concubine suddenly posted a post to her, a young talent who had never had much contact with her. Good feast.

Soon, it was Lu Meiren's birthday, and Jiang Man took Lianqiu to Luomeiju with the prepared birthday gift.

Jiang Man arrived neither too early nor too late. There were not many people sitting in the reception hall of Luomeiju, and they were all of low status and not very favored. Lu Meiren was nowhere to be seen. Miao Baolin lives in Luomeiju.

After Jiang Man greeted everyone present, she found an inconspicuous corner and sat down. After about half an hour, Lu Mei finally showed up after the guests arrived one after another.

Jiang Man raised her head and took a look. Meiren Lu was 17 years old this year, tall and slender, with fair skin, upturned eye tails, straight nose, and bright red lipstick on her mouth, which was extremely bright and bright.

It turned out that Emperor Yong'an liked this.

Jiang Man thought boredly, beauty is pretty, but it has thorns, but after all, she is the emperor, and it is impossible for Lu Meiren's thorns to pierce him no matter what.

While thinking wildly, Jiang Man heard Lu Meiren who was sitting on the main seat ask: "Which one is Jiang Cairen who was promoted to the position not long ago?"

After asking, Lu Meiren said to everyone: "Speaking of which, I have been in the palace for two years, and I have never met Jiang Cairen. I am really curious about Jiang Cairen, who has been unfavored for four years and can suddenly win the emperor's heart. What kind of character, so I took advantage of this birthday party to post a post for Jiang Cairen, I think the sisters present must be as curious as I am, Jiang Cairen might as well stand up and let the sisters get to know him."

What Lu Meiren said had no respect for Jiang Man. Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay when they heard the words, and then showed a look of optimism.

Standing behind Jiang Man, Lianqiu's teeth were clenched, but Jiang Man stood up as usual as if she didn't hear anything, and blessed Lu Meiren, "I've seen my sister."

Lu Meiren turned critically at Jiang Man, "It's not too bad."

Jiang Man still had a calm look, "My younger sister is naturally not as bright and attractive as my elder sister."

Lu Meiren felt as if she had punched the cotton with a fist. Not only did the fire in her heart not go out, but it burned even hotter. "If you know that you can't get on the stage, you still have self-knowledge."

At this moment, Zhao Quanfu personally delivered the emperor's birthday gift to Lu Meiren, and everyone present came forward to congratulate her regardless of whether they were sincere or not.

"The emperor is so kind to my sister. He still remembers my sister's birthday in spite of his busy schedule."

"Yeah, there are really not many decent sisters in this harem."

"That's right, my sister heard that there was a flood in the south last year. This year's tribute was only half of what it used to be. Even the imperial concubine and the concubine only got four horses each, but the emperor rewarded my sister with four horses today. Not to mention snow satin, makeup satin, a complete set of head and face jewelry, etc. "

"Oh, this is my sister's decency, which really makes my sisters envious."

Lu Meiren listened to everyone's compliments, the corners of her mouth raised uncontrollably, thinking that the emperor still cared about her, she just pretended to say a few words that she liked the clothes made of brocade in front of the emperor, and today the emperor sent her Bought four horses, which greatly improved her face.

But even so, she wouldn't just forget about the ridicule she received because of Jiang Man.

Glancing in Jiang Man's direction, Lu Meiren announced the opening of the banquet.

Lu Meiren is favored now, so naturally she dare not neglect her birthday banquet room. All the dim sum are exquisite and delicious, and the dishes are also beautiful and delicious. Jiang Man was holding a chopsticks of Babao rabbit and was about to feed it to her mouth, when suddenly " Ah..." There was a scream, and Jiang Man subconsciously turned her head to look, and saw the steaming soup flying towards her face in the hands of the little maid serving the dishes.

Just as Jiang Man was about to raise her hand to block it, her eyes dimmed, and Lianqiu was already blocking her, and all the hot soup was sprinkled on Lianqiu's body.

Jiang Man hurriedly stood up, pulled Lianqiu away and asked with concern: "Lianqiu, are you alright?"

Lianqiu took a deep breath and smiled at Jiang Man, "Master, don't worry, the servant is fine through the clothes."

Jiang Man patted Lianqiu's hand reassuringly, then turned to look at Lu Meiren, "I wonder if my sister can explain to my sister? Is this what people in my sister's palace do? If this bowl of hot soup is really poured on my sister On the face, should my sister's face be destroyed?"
