Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Chapter 21 Beauty
Lu Wanning smiled and said: "After you leave the palace, marry a powerful husband, and you will become the imperial wife soon, maybe we will see each other at the palace banquet later."

Lu Wanning said it casually, but Xu Lingyan really thought about it seriously. After thinking about it for a while, she nodded and said, "Sister Lu, what you said makes sense. If that's the case, we will really have a chance to see you again in the future."

Lu Wanning choked again, and said with a smile, "Just as long as you're happy."

"I am really happy to know that I will have the opportunity to see Sister Lu again in the future."

Xu Lingyan pulled Lu Wanning to talk for a while, seeing that it was getting late, and it would be too late to leave the palace if she didn't pack her things, so she hurriedly packed her things.

Lu Wanning also helped her tidy up, and after everything was packed, Xu Lingyan took off a jade bracelet from her wrist and handed it to Lu Wanning, saying: "Sister Lu, this is my favorite bracelet, I give it to you, I hope You will think of me when you see this bracelet in the future."

"I will keep it." Lu Wanning took the bracelet solemnly, then untied the jade pendant from her waist, handed it to Xu Lingyan, and said, "This jade pendant of mine is for you."

After the two exchanged gifts, the little eunuch who came to send Xu Lingyan out of the palace came. Xu Lingyan lifted her burden, said goodbye to Lu Wanning again, and followed the little eunuch. Lu Wanning sent her to the gate of Chuxiu Palace, watching Her figure disappeared in a corner of the palace wall, and she looked back with some sense of loss.

The canonization edicts of the show girls selected this time were sent to Chuxiu Palace in the evening. There were only eight show girls selected this time. Ning Du only knew the name, but had no contact with it.

Coincidentally, both Weng Qian and Cui Ru were awarded fifth-rank Jieyu this time, and they were the two with the highest rank among the selected show girls.

Lu Wanning and another beautiful girl surnamed Zheng were named sixth-rank beauties, and the remaining four were either seventh-rank talents or eighth-rank selected servants.

The status of a sixth-grade beauty is not the highest among this group of beautiful women, but it is not low either. Anyway, it is higher than Lu Wanning expected. She thought that she would enter the palace this time when there was already a noble concubine in the Zhongyonghou's mansion. The emperor gave her the status of a seventh-rank talent, but she was unexpectedly a sixth-rank beauty.

However, Lu Wanning was quite happy, even if the grade was only one level higher, it would be different.

Lu Wanning and Weng Xi lived in the same room, and the imperial edicts they canonized were naturally read out one after the other. Weng Xi glanced at Lu Wanning with her cold eyes when she knew that her rank was one level higher than Lu Wanning's, although she It didn't show on her face, but Lu Wanning could still see showing off and pride in that look.

Lu Wanning sneered, she regarded herself as a competitor, shouldn't she be happy that the talented woman Weng values ​​her?

After the eunuch who read out the imperial decree left, the room became quiet again.

When Xu Lingyan was there, there were often her chattering voices in the room, but now that Xu Lingyan has left, there are only two people left in the room, Weng Qian and Lu Wanning, and they ignore each other, naturally there will be no sound in the room. However, the two of them read their own books without interfering with each other.

Early the next morning, some palace servants came to take Lu Wanning and the other selected show girls to their new residences.

Weng Qian was given to live in the side hall of Zhilan Palace. Zhilan Palace does not have a proper empress, but she is comfortable, and there is another advantage of living here. Just move directly from the side hall to the main hall.

I don't know if the emperor thought so when he let Weng Qian live here?
The Linglong Pavilion, where Lu Wanning was given to live, is located at the back, and the whole layout is as exquisite and small as its name. The small courtyard is not divided into the main hall and the side hall, and there are not many rooms, but only Lu Wanning lives there. Still more than enough for one person.

Lu Wanning is still satisfied with this residence. At the beginning, she was worried that the emperor would let her live directly in the side hall of Zhaoyang Palace. If she really lived under Lu Wanyun's nose, Lu Wanning would not be able to disobey Lu Wanyun in the future. It was easy, and she didn't want to be tied to Lu Wanyun at all.

Being able to live alone in the same courtyard will make things more convenient for her in the future.

When Lu Wanning was brought to Linglong Pavilion by the little eunuch, the court ladies and eunuchs arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs were already waiting in the courtyard. As soon as Lu Wanning arrived, several court ladies and eunuchs who were waiting in the courtyard came together to pay respects to see the master.

"The villain/servant has seen a beauty."

The Ministry of Internal Affairs arranged for a total of four people to wait on them, two court ladies and two eunuchs. Lu Wanning simply asked the four of them a few words, named them respectively, and then arranged errands for the four of them.

Chen An seemed honest and honest, so Lu Wanning asked him to take care of the cleaning and other tasks in the yard.

Seeing that Zhou Man was young, but he was quick-witted, quick-spoken, and able to get things done, Lu Wanning asked him to do some errands.

As for the two court ladies, one is called Zisu and the other is called Zifu.The two of them were not very old. In the past, one was in charge of guarding the warehouse, and the other was in charge of taking care of the flowers and plants in the imperial garden. Lu Wanning asked them to temporarily take over the errands of second-class maids.

After arranging her errands for the four of them, Lu Wanning entered the middle and largest room in the yard, and simply put away the things she brought.

Qingzhi and Qingdai will be able to enter the palace immediately, and the rest will be cleaned up after they enter the palace.

After the news that Lu Wanning was sealed as a talented person reached Zhongyonghou's mansion yesterday, Qingzhi and Qingdai packed up their things and prepared to enter the palace. They were waiting outside the palace gate early this morning.

When Lu Wanning sent Zhou Man to pick him up at the gate of the palace, the two had already been waiting there for over an hour.

The two came in from outside the palace, and when they saw Lu Wanning, their eyes turned red with excitement. After saluting Lu Wanning, Qingzhi said: "Miss, how have you been for more than a month? Why does this servant look at you as if you have lost weight? "

Qing Dai also echoed: "The complexion is not as rosy and shiny as when I was at home."

Although Qingzhi and Qingdai used to be second-class maidservants, they have been serving Lu Wanning since they were young. They have a deep affection for Lu Wanning, and they both know Lu Wanning's temper. People have always been more tolerant, so the two of them are not restrained around Lu Wanning, and they are not cautious when speaking.

Hearing what the two said, Lu Wanning subconsciously stretched out her hand to touch her face, and said, "Is it true that you have lost weight, and your skin has also deteriorated?"
