Chapter 57

This will take a little thought. "There are still some days, let me think about it myself, I can always handle it."

Shao Yao and Qing An said, this is not something to deal with.Your being favored has nothing to do with your family background, it all depends on the emperor's wishes, and you never dare to be careless.

Speaking of the New Year's Ceremony, within a few days, since the low-ranking concubine visited the high-ranking concubine, the palaces started to move.

Xiaoman naturally couldn't act differently.Qingqiu has a stable temperament and has been managing the warehouse of Ronghua Palace. She discussed with Shaoyao and drew up a gift list.Xiaoman saw that it was very appropriate, auspicious and not obtrusive.

Concubine Wang, Concubine Li, and Concubine Zhen are naturally the first to visit.

Xiaoman first brought the clothes she embroidered and a pair of calligraphy and paintings to Jingyang Palace. The concubine Wang Guifei had already become a genius, so naturally she would not look down on a bed-climbing maid like Xiaoman on the face, and treated her kindly and considerately, just like a sister.

Concubine Zhen's place, Xiao Manli was delivered, and the gift was a jade carving worship child ornament, which meant auspiciousness and was not easy to be tampered with.Concubine Zhen is young and energetic, noble and pregnant, so she doesn't bother to talk to her, a concubine of lowly background.She delivered the gift, said a few auspicious words and hurried away.

At Concubine Li's place, Xiaoman also made clothes and a piece of gold with her own hands.She is not filial to Concubine Li with fine calligraphy, paintings and jade wares.Xiaoman stood outside the gate of Jing'an Palace asking for someone to pass it on, but no one came after waiting for a quarter of an hour. Fortunately, she prepared in advance and was dressed very thickly.

Concubine Li can't see her, but Xiao Man just doesn't leave, and keeps standing respectfully without saying a word.I thought to myself, if you have the ability, you can let me stand until night.

In the end, Nanny Liu sent someone to pick up the gift.

Later, according to Qing Ya's inquiry, not to mention which servant gave the golden vessel, but the clothes were torn to pieces and treated as trash.

Xiaoman smiled and said that he was even happier, knowing that Concubine Li is like this.

To Su Zhaoyi, Zhou Zhaorong, Li Jieyu and other high-ranking concubines, Xiaoman also went to give presents in person, and everyone politely returned the gifts. Finally, a period of visiting was over.

Going out to socialize is really not Xiaoman's strong point, but she is exhausted enough.

There are also dozens of concubines with low ranks coming to visit her.Although she doesn't have to welcome everyone, she also has acquaintances, right?

Liu Guiren is one of them.Ever since Liu Guiren saw that Lin Jieyu was able to resist the suppression of Concubine Li, and was able to firmly occupy the favor under the smoky and charming coquettish, she has been tightly attached to the tree of Lin Jieyu.

If she has other choices, it's not that she doesn't want to cling to a higher concubine.However, those high positions are all born in famous families, everyone looked down on her as a ninth-rank official woman, and secretly laughed at her for pretending to be a talented woman from the countryside.Now, she didn't even bother to make jokes, and she was no longer worthy of being mentioned or ridiculed.

Liu Guiren took out a set of clothes and an embroidery screen, "Your Majesty, this set of golden white butterfly wearing flower cloud satin skirt and floral pleated skirt was embroidered by my concubine herself, using the southern embroidery method, and I will wear it in spring." It's a good time to come here. This embroidered screen, I think that my mother loves to practice calligraphy, so I can put it next to the table at night to gather light."

Xiaoman really admired this craftsmanship, the embroidery is really beautiful.The clothes are more elegant and youthful than palace clothes.It's just that this embroidered screen is embroidered with a picture of great rivers and mountains, not a picture for a girl.

Xiao Man smiled and said: "I really like this dress, I will definitely try it in spring. This embroidered screen is also elegant and calm, but I can enjoy it with the emperor."

Xiao Man thought, hey, you have come to harass me every few days just to mention it to the emperor.Although I don't like the emperor, I really have no interest in sending other women to a man's bed.

When Liu Guiren heard this, he was secretly happy. After so many days of flattering horses, he had seen some results, but he said: "I don't dare to do this. The concubine is just giving a gift for the empress to watch. I don't dare to think too much about it."

The two had a hypocritical chat for a while, Shao Yao had no choice but to find an excuse to send Liu Guiren away.

Shao Yao said: "Mother, this Liu Guiren is thick-skinned. This is not a solution, she will come every few days in the future, we can't always make excuses, this servant feels annoying."

Xiaoman laughed, "Even the good-tempered Sister Shaoyao is annoyed by her? However, I guess she is also a sensible person, so she probably wouldn't come here too many years ago."

"Then the lady really said good things for her?" Shao Yao was a little dissatisfied.

"Hehe, the emperor is not something we can monopolize. But, naturally, I won't just say it out loud like this. Who is going to cause trouble for myself?" Xiao Man said.

The emperor was so busy these days that it was rare for him to enter the harem, he just went to sit with Concubine Zhen twice.Everyone is clear in their hearts, no one can compete for the favor of Concubine Zhen.

After two days, the emperor turned over the sign of Ronghua Hall.Everyone in the hall naturally prepared.

"My concubine, I've been very busy these days, do you miss me? What has my concubine been up to lately?" The emperor asked when they met.

Xiaoman hugged the emperor delicately and hammered it a few times, "Why don't you think about it, people don't see the emperor every day, and my heart hurts." It made the emperor laugh.

Xiao Man said again: "What can I do here, the left is just to welcome and send at the end of the year. But it's all right now, and I'm finally busy."

Emperor Zhengkang knew that Xiao Man was a slob, and he disliked going out to socialize the most. "My concubine, don't make friends with people who don't want to be friends with you. You don't need to befriend those who are high-ranking, and you don't have to flatter those who are low-ranking. I'm here for everything. How can I have the heart to make you do things that you don't like?"

Xiao Man rolled his eyes at Emperor Zhengkang, "Your Majesty, look at what you said, why is this concubine unhappy seeing my sisters? It's just that this concubine has a stupid mouth and really doesn't know how to chat."

Emperor Zhengkang gave him a deep kiss, "My little jade man, what a stupid mouth, Aifei's mouth is the most powerful mouth I've ever seen." Xiaoman was going crazy, this man always showed a sense of indecency.
