At noon the next day, someone in the palace spread the news, and everyone in the palace was talking about the fact that Chu Xiu, the daughter of the Minister of the Household Department, had already made a secret promise to the Holy One.In fact, this is not a big deal, but Chu Xiu is a young lady of a family after all, so it is not reserved to make such remarks.

After having snacks at noon, Yuwen Lingxi was leaning on the imperial concubine's couch to read a book. At this moment, a few maidservants beside her were whispering their ears under the window.

"Hey, did you hear that Chu Xiu, the daughter of the Minister of the Household Department, had secretly promised the Holy Majesty before entering the palace, and the study room is full of portraits of the Holy Majesty! What an infatuated person..."

"Cut... If you want me to say that this person is really not reserved enough. There is nothing wrong with liking the Holy One, but you don't think about when the news will not be spread, but you upload it at this juncture. It is clear that the imperial concubine is quite favored. , I just want a piece of the pie..."

"Okay, okay, let me say that you all eat salty carrots and don't worry about it. We only need to serve the master well, so why bother? Be careful if someone hears it and beats you! Go to work, go go go..."

She has been practicing for many years, so she couldn't hide this news from her ears, so she couldn't help laughing when she heard this.

"Qian Ning." Yuwen Lingxi put down the book in his hand, "I have tasted very tasteless recently, and I want to eat some spicy dishes, so I told the small kitchen to prepare them." He whispered in her ear: "Go, add some condiments to Chuxiu Palace."

Qian Ning understood, Wei Wei Fushen went out to handle errands.

After lunch, Yuwen Lingxi found a reason to go out to Liuying Terrace with the intention of digesting food.

In recent days, it is said that all Xiu girls like to enjoy the cool air here, so she also wants to join in the fun.

Bypassing the Yunlang, Yuwen Lingxi heard his voice before seeing anyone.

"If you really think that painting with one hand can win the favor, you don't even look at yourself."

so arrogant?

With a smile on the corner of Yuwen Lingxi's mouth, he waved the fan in his hand and walked over from the other end of the path, "Who should I be for scolding people so rigidly?"

When everyone saw Yuwen Lingxi, they all knelt down to pay their respects. After what happened a few times ago, even Yuwen Lingxi couldn't help obediently obeying the rules.

Yuwen Lingxi is wearing the fabric tribute from the Western Regions today, the thin and famous cloud shadow gauze.A long skirt was made by the Department of Clothes Bureau, and the hem of the skirt fell to the ground.When passing by Yuwen Lingmin, a gust of wind blew, almost brushing the corner of her skirt to her face.

Yuwen Lingxi sat down on the jade stool, picked up the fan with one hand and lifted Yuwen's sensitive chin, "Who should I be, it turns out to be Miss Yuwen." She sneered, "Is it because I'm not here? It's your turn to be a showgirl in the harem affairs. It seems that the prime minister has no way to teach a daughter, and it's useless to have a good skin."

After saying that, she raised her eyes slightly, pretending to have brushed Danqing on the stone table inadvertently, and said in surprise, "Who did this, the brush is so delicate."

Chu Xiu was slightly stunned for a moment, then she stepped forward and saluted slightly, "Going back to your mother, it was my servant's clumsiness, which made her laugh."

Yuwen Lingxi: "How come, you have such a heart that you can't even ask for it. And this year's show girls are really getting more and more unruly. They come from the same family, so why are they talking about high or low. From now on, serving the emperor depends on your heart, not on how high your mother's family is. If you want to rely on your family background, I advise you to go back and rest earlier."

After her words came out, several beautiful women in the crowd twitched their mouths slightly, as if they were laughing.Everyone knows that the front and back palaces have been one since ancient times, and emperors and concubines are rarely born without birth.

Yuwen Lingxi lazily looked at the thoughts of those youngsters. What she said was really stupid, but she couldn't bear the fact that the current emperor is a fool, and the fool never plays cards according to routine.

As soon as Yuwen Lingxi came, all the beautiful women lost their minds to enjoy the scenery, but within half a stick of incense, most of the people had already left.

At this time, Chu Xiu was also like that. She put away the scroll on the stone table and was about to leave when Yuwen Lingxi suddenly stopped her.

"Miss Chu, why is she in such a hurry?"

Chu Xiu was a little cautious, but she still replied politely, "The courtier is here to worry about disturbing the empress."

Yuwen Lingxi: "No problem."

She stood up and took her painting scroll, "I see that the picture you painted is really good, but it's so good, it would be even better if you let the emperor see it in person, what does Miss Chu think?"

Chu Xiu was very surprised, and she didn't speak quickly, "Your Majesty..."

Yuwen Lingxi pressed her hand affectionately, "It's okay, I understand. The most lacking in this palace is a gentle person like you. If this is the case, how can I bear to see you sad."

Hearing this, Chu Xiu suddenly knelt down, choked up as if she had suffered a great grievance, and said, "My lady thank you, the imperial concubine."

Yuwen Lingxi waved her hand, her goal had been achieved, and it would be no fun to stay any longer, so she returned to Xihe Palace with her attendants.

As soon as he stepped into the palace gate, he was hugged by Lu Zhang, "Where did my concubine go, let me wait."

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two began to heat up, the people around them retreated knowingly.

"How's the result?" Lu Zhang still maintained the posture just now, and he refused to let go.Yuwen Lingxi took his hand, twirled twice on Lu Zhang's chest, and said coquettishly: "There is a beautiful woman who favors you, why, are you happy?"

Lu Zhang: "I only need my concubine to favor me."

Yuwen Lingxi knew that he was talking nonsense, so she smiled and entered the topic, "The concubine knows that Chuxiu will go back to the Shangshu Mansion to celebrate her grandmother's birthday tomorrow, so I asked the emperor to make arrangements for the concubine to make a coincidence with her. Let's go into the house and have a look."

"You suspect..." Lu Zhang paused, then looked down at her, "Is there a tax problem over there?"

Yuwen Lingxi nodded lightly: "That's right, the prime minister was extremely extravagant because of the spies sent by the concubine, so he became suspicious. A person with a national salary, no matter how good he is, how can his wealth be comparable to the national treasury?" ?”

In the early morning of this day, everyone in Xihe Palace knew that the imperial concubine had gone to the temple to fulfill her vows, and it was rare for the palace to be clean.

In the capital, Yuwen Lingxi wished to come back, but the carriage she was riding in suddenly broke down.Because they are in micro-services, a group of eunuchs wanted to stop the carriage going out of the palace to buy at the side of the road, and sent a letter to the palace to send someone out.Not wanting to, he stopped Chu Xiu as soon as he reached out his hand.

The two met by chance, and Chu Xiu knew the cause and effect, so she decided to invite Yuwen Lingxi to sit at her house.

Just as she wanted, Yuwen Lingxi pretended to delay, unable to bear Miss Chu's enthusiasm, and drove away together.

Although it is not appropriate for a concubine to show her face in public, Chu Xiu will soon become one of them, and her current identity is from the common people, so the Chu family will not be unaware.

The banquet was very grand and lively, and Yuwen Lingxi sat in the private room with the daughters of the Chu family who had not left the court.During the dinner, she secretly gave Qian Ning a wink, and then continued to chat with others as if nothing had happened.

Without the airs of a noble concubine, she looks like a big sister, but she is very popular with the little girls of the Chu family.

After about a stick of incense, Qian Ning returned with a calm expression on her face, and Yuwen Lingxi knew that she had succeeded, so she relaxed and continued talking and laughing.

When returning to the palace, Mrs. Chu urged her repeatedly, and thanked Yuwen Lingxi a thousand times.She knew in her heart that the present favor had been taken down.

After arriving at Xihe Palace, Qian Ning handed over the transcribed things, frowning slightly, "Your Majesty, the prime minister's taxes are not wrong at all."
