Lu Xiujie, who was wet, terrified and crying, was rescued and brought before the emperor.
A delicate and weak woman is naturally lovable.
What's more, Lu Xiujie looked as delicate and timid as a lotus emerging from water.
The emperor felt itchy when seeing the pair of tearful eyes, so he stepped forward and picked up the person.
"Your Majesty." Lu Xiujie grabbed the emperor's dragon robe with her small hands and pressed her face against it, with the corners of her lips slightly raised.
The emperor left with Lu Xiujue in his arms. Among the concubines, some were envious and some were disdainful.
Jiang Changning noticed that Xie Baoyin's face looked a little strange and thought that she was worried about Lu Xiujie, so he didn't think much about it.
The concubines were taken to a winding corridor, with carved beams and painted buildings, and vivid and lifelike colorful paintings of pine trees.
Jiang Changning looked at the colorful paintings on each beam very carefully. They are truly artistic treasures!
Xie Baoyin walked to her side without her knowing, "Sister Ning."
Jiang Changning glanced at her and smiled faintly, "Don't worry, Sister Lu left with the emperor, she will be fine."
If there is something going on, it's about bed.
"Sister Ning, what kind of flower is that blooming so beautifully? Let's go over and take a look." Xie Baoyin pointed to a flower outside the corridor.
Jiang Changning knew that she had something to say behind closed doors, so he followed her lead and walked out of the corridor.
Just as they walked under the flower tree, Qin Zhaoxi passed by from another path accompanied by a eunuch.
Qin Zhaoxi saw Jiang Changning and stopped.
Under the flower tree, Xie Baoyin whispered, "Juzi can swim. She can swim to the shore."
A hint of understanding flashed across Jiang Changning's eyes. No wonder Lu Xiujie dared to jump into the water.
Before, she thought that Lu Xiujie could not survive in the palace.
Now it seems that Lu Xiujie, who is scheming and good at disguise, has found her way into the palace like a fish in water.
Jiang Changning plucked a flower, turned it around, and said lightly, "Perhaps it happened suddenly, she was too panicked, and she instinctively called for help."
"Instinct?" Xie Baoyin seemed to be thinking about something.
Jiang Changning saw a little turtle under the flower tree. "How did you get here? Did you get lost?"
As she spoke, she squatted down and used flowers to tease the little turtle.
Jiang Changning had just squatted down when the eunuch who was accompanying Qin Zhaoxi and the others followed his gaze and saw Xie Baoyin standing under the flower tree.
The eunuch smiled and said, "Young Lord, Young Master Wei and the others are waiting for you in front."
"Let's go." Qin Zhaoxi withdrew his gaze and left quickly.
As he did so, Jiang Changning picked up the little turtle and stood up, "Xie sister, they have walked very far ahead, let's catch up."
However, without the emperor, most of the concubines lost interest. Without the emperor as an admirer, there was no talent show at all.
The matter of the covered bridge ended so hastily. Back at the dock, Jiang Changning placed the turtle by the water and watched it crawl into the lake.
The beauties boarded the pleasure boat and returned to the pier where they set out.
After getting off the pleasure boat, the ladies met Su Wanyang when passing through the imperial garden.
Su Wanyang was wearing a peach-red embroidered palace dress, and was accompanied by four palace maids and two eunuchs.
When the ladies saw this, they hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings to Concubine Su. Greetings to Concubine Su."
"No need to be so polite." Su Wanyang raised his hand to support her, walked past the ladies, and suddenly stopped in front of one of them.
This beautiful lady was none other than Yu Caiping, who lived in the same room with her.
"Sister Yu, we have been living in the same house for many days and get along very well. If you are free, please come to my Ouxiangxie for tea." Su Wanyang had a smile on her lips but cold eyes.
"If the concubine summons me, I will definitely accompany her." The concubine replied calmly.
According to palace rules, only concubines of the fourth rank and above could summon concubines, and concubines of the seventh rank were not eligible.
Being mocked and slapped in the face, Su Wanyang's eyes darkened slightly. She said, "You wait." Then she left with the palace maids and eunuchs.
The young lady named Yu looked at her background and sneered with disdain.
The next day, Lu Xiujie, who was taken away by the emperor in public, naturally became a member of the harem.
Lü Xiujie was canonized as a noble lady of the sixth rank, given the title Rou, and lived in Jixiang Palace.
"I didn't expect that after falling into the water, I would have such good fortune. If I had known, I would have fallen into the water too."
"You can't judge a person by his appearance. It's amazing that Lu Xiujue could be canonized as a noble lady."
"There is also a title."
In the harem, those with titles are half a level higher than those without titles.
All kinds of sour words are heard everywhere.
Two days later, Concubine Rou, Lu Xiujie, came to reminisce with her cousin Xie Baoyin.
Looking at Lu Xiujie, whose brows had a woman's unique charm, yet still looked childish and timid.
Jiang Changning couldn't help but secretly admire him, this was a ruthless character who was determined to carry out his disguise to the end.
No one knows what Lu Xiujie and Xie Baoyin said.
When Xie Baoyin sent Lu Xiujie out of the palace, her face looked normal, which showed that Lu Xiujie did not make things difficult for her.
However, Xie Baoyin has always been very caring towards Lu Xiujie, so there is no need for Lu Xiujie to make things difficult for her.
In the next few days, the concubines were not as restrained as when they first entered the palace, and Fei Zhen no longer restricted them too much.
Ambitious concubines began to frequently appear in the imperial garden, hoping to meet the emperor by chance, which also led to some concubines "colliding" with nobles in the palace.
There were also some lucky concubines. Wu Jiaoxing met a little girl who was lying on the ground, her whole body dirty.
"Who are you? Why are you so dirty?" Wu Jiaoxing picked up the little girl.
In the palace, the only girl of this age is the second princess.
Wu Jiaoxing already knew the identity of the little girl and was secretly delighted. "Don't cry, don't cry. Why are you here alone? Where's your nanny?"
As she spoke, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the second princess's face.
"Meow meow." The two-year-old second princess was a premature baby. She couldn't speak yet and couldn't walk steadily, but she crawled very fast.
At that time, Concubine Cui and Concubine Liu were both noble ladies and were pregnant.
Concubine Cui wanted to snatch the eldest son from her husband, but ended up giving birth to the second princess.
Concubine Liu gave birth to the emperor's eldest son and was granted the title of consort.
"You want to find a cat? Can auntie help you find it?" Wu Jiaoxing asked gently.
"Ah, yes." The second princess clapped her hands.
Wu Jiaoxing helped the second princess find a cat while teasing her.
By the time the second princess's nanny and palace maid arrived in a hurry, Wu Jiaoxing had already taught the second princess to call her "Auntie".
"Second Princess, come here." The nanny wanted to hug the second princess.
"No, no, no." The second princess twisted her body and refused to let her hug her.
So they had no choice but to let Wu Jiaoxing carry the second princess and go back to Jingming Palace where Concubine Cui lived.
Wu Jiaoxing stayed in Jingming Palace for lunch, and the next day, Concubine Cui summoned her for dinner.
That night, Wu Jiaoxing served in the emperor's bedroom and was promoted to selected concubine.
Wu Jiaoxing's method of gaining favor made the concubines go to the Imperial Garden more frequently, but Wu Jiaoxing was the only lucky concubine.
No one could successfully serve the emperor in bed through recommendation from concubines in the harem.
No one was like Lu Xiujie, who found an opportunity, met the emperor, and successfully ascended to the throne.
