Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Chapter 27 Second Princess

Weng Jieyu stayed in bed for five consecutive days, not only envious and jealous of a group of newcomers, but also made Xu Jieyu, concubines Hui and the other old people feel sour in their hearts.

When everyone went to pay their respects to the empress every day, they all held back their anger and wanted to make it difficult for Weng Jieyu. However, except for the first day when Weng Jieyu showed her face when she was greeting the empress, during the past few days she was serving the empress. I never went to pay my respects to the Empress Empress.

In Linglong Pavilion, Qingzhi, Qingdai and others looked at Lu Wanning anxiously, "Master, it's been five days, and the emperor rests in Zhilan Palace every night. If this continues, when will master have a chance to sleep?"

Lu Wanning said to Qingzhi and Qingdai: "The emperor likes Weng Jieyu, and we have no choice but to let her sleep with her. You have to be patient and don't worry. I just entered the palace. There will be plenty of opportunities to sleep with her in the future. Do you hurry up?" what?"

After finishing speaking, Lu Wanning stood up and said, "There is no sun today, you two can accompany me to the Imperial Garden for a walk."

In the weather in May, the sun was already very strong, and Lu Wanning didn't want to go out to bask in the sun when the sun was out.

Qingzhi and Qingdai sighed, and went to the Imperial Garden with Lu Wanning.

At this time, the flowering period of the peony has passed, but the peonies are in full bloom. Lu Wanning took Qingzhi and Qingdai for a stroll in the Imperial Garden. After seeing the blooming peonies, she wanted to go back, but she met a group of royal palaces. A crowd of people gathered around a little girl about four years old and came towards them.

The little girl was running ahead with a small net in her hand, while the palace servants followed her closely to protect her, for fear that she would fall.

"Master, is this the eldest princess or the second princess?" Qingzhi asked Lu Wanning quietly.

There are now two princesses in the palace. The two princesses were born in the same year, and they are both four years old this year.

Lu Wanning carefully looked at the palace servants following the little girl, and guessed: "It should be the second princess."

The eldest princess Luo Yan was born to Concubine Jing, and the second princess Luo Lan was born to Concubine Hui Mingsu, who is the niece of Concubine Ming. The Concubine Ming is now living with the Empress Dowager in Shouan Palace. Because of Concubine Ming, The second princess is very much liked by the empress dowager, and she often takes her to Shou'an Palace to play.

And the big court lady behind the second princess is dressed differently from the general court ladies, and the clothes she wears are better than those of the court ladies next to the empress. There are only silk flowers, but she has a golden hairpin on her head.

The maids who dare to dress like this in the palace are afraid that apart from the maids serving in front of the emperor, the only maids from Shouan Palace are the ones.

The second princess was about to run in front of Lu Wanning at this time, and Lu Wanning stepped aside to make way for the second princess and the others.

But the second princess ran in front of Lu Wanning, but stopped. She tilted her head and looked at Lu Wanning for a while, then asked crisply, "Are you my father's concubine?"

"Yes." Lu Wanning nodded.

The second princess looked at her again and said, "I haven't seen you before."

Lu Wanning said: "I entered the palace only a few days ago during the general election."

"Oh, let me tell you why I haven't seen you before, you look so good-looking, if I have seen you, I will definitely remember it." The second princess said.

Lu Wanning was amused by the serious expression of the second princess. The second princess was sweet and cute, no wonder the queen mother liked her.

"It looks better when you smile." The second princess nodded and said.

Lu Wanning smiled and said, "The second princess is also pretty."

"Of course I'm the prettiest." After the second princess finished speaking, she raised her chin proudly and said, "For the sake of your discernment, I allow you to accompany me to catch butterflies."

It was a somewhat arrogant gesture, but it was extraordinarily cute made by her four-year-old child.

Lingxiu, the maid of the Compassionate Ning Palace who was following the second princess, called out: "Second princess", and coaxed softly, "Slaves and maidservants accompany you to catch butterflies, okay?"

The second princess shook her head, "I don't want her, she is pretty, so I want her to accompany me to catch butterflies."

Lu Wanning smiled at Lingxiu, and said, "It's okay, it's fine if I play with the second princess for a while."

After Lu Wanning finished speaking, the second princess took her hand and said, "Since you agreed, you can't go back on your word. Come and play with me."

Lu Wanning followed the strength of the second princess pulling her, and followed the second princess to the large peony bushes.

The court ladies and eunuchs beside the second princess followed closely behind them.

The second princess pulled Lu Wanning to the large peony bushes, raised her head on her toes and looked around for a long time, then called Lingxiu behind her a little angrily, "Sister Lingxiu, you lied to me, you don't have butterflies in the imperial garden Why? Why can’t I see any of them?”

Lingxiu was wronged, there are indeed many butterflies in the imperial garden on weekdays, who knows what happened today.

The second princess suddenly wanted to catch butterflies on a whim. It stands to reason that there are a lot of butterflies in this season, but the second princess and them tossed for a long time in the small garden of Shouan Palace, but they didn't catch a butterfly. Seeing that the second princess was about to cry, She suggested that the second princess come to the imperial garden, saying that there must be butterflies in the imperial garden, but there are not many butterflies in the imperial garden today.

Lingxiu was thinking about how to coax the second princess, when Lu Wanning said softly to the second princess: "Second princess, look if there is a butterfly there."

The second princess looked in the direction Lu Wanning pointed, and she saw a butterfly landed on the stamen of a well-opened peony flower.

The second princess immediately held her breath, and said to the maid and eunuch behind her, "Quick, quick, help me catch it."

Several court ladies and eunuchs rushed towards the butterfly from several sides, and the second princess also waved her small net around, but the butterfly with a very beautiful color was still not caught.

The second princess watched the butterfly fly away, tears quickly filled her eyes, she said angrily and aggrieved, "Why are you so stupid, you can't even catch a butterfly."

Several maids and little eunuchs hurriedly knelt down and confessed their mistakes: "Second princess forgive me, it's the little one/servants are stupid, second princess, don't be angry, slaves will help second princess find Die, this time I find slaves must help second princess Princess caught."

"Woooo..." The second princess didn't stop talking to the others, and cried, "You are lying, you have been searching for a long time, but you still haven't found a few butterflies. I'm going to tell the imperial grandmother."

Lu Wanning looked at the poor second princess who was crying, sighed, bent down and said softly to the second princess, "Second princess, don't cry anymore, I have a way to help you catch butterflies."

The second princess stopped sobbing, stared at Lu Wanning with her big moist eyes and said, "Really? You didn't lie to me?"
