Lu Huiling looked at herself in the bronze mirror. She was young and beautiful, with no wrinkles at the end of her eyes. Unlike other concubines like Mei Guifei, even though she had a charming appearance when she was young, she still couldn't withstand the passage of time on her face.

traces left on it.

"The art of beauty..." A faint smile appeared at the corner of Lu Huiling's mouth, which seemed to be sarcastic. She slowly touched her face with her hands. It was pink, translucent, fair and delicate. These alone were enough.

, "It's just clouds."

Lu Huiling is more and more aware of the benefits of being young. At least in the harem where there are so many beauties, she is the leader because of her youthful face that looks like a wise empress.

Hearing her murmuring to herself, Aunt Xulan's heart trembled slightly, and she smiled softly and said, "My queen is young and beautiful, so why do you need the art of keeping your appearance?"

Lu Huiling stared at herself in the bronze mirror and smiled. Now she didn't need it. Everyone envied her for her noble status and being favored by the Sixth Palace. She just needed to win the emperor's favor.

Lu Huiling entered the palace as a concubine. Although she also harbored hatred for Qi Jingqin and Liang Huanqing, she never forgot her father's instructions. Although she is in a high position now, she often cannot be with the emperor. Today she went to the Qinzheng Palace,

It is to solve this problem.

Lu Huiling quietly watched Xu Lan comb her hair into a bun, and when she was about to put on the golden hairpin, Lu Huiling held down Aunt Xu Lan's hand.

"Empress!" Xu Lan was startled, and quickly took out her hands and knelt on the ground. Behind her, a group of palace maids also knelt on the ground with their heads lowered.

"What are you afraid of? I will eat you?" Lu Huiling glanced at Xu Lan who was kneeling at her feet and said with a mocking smile.

Since yesterday, Xu Lan has been deeply afraid of this moody Concubine Ming. Her every move affects Xu Lan's heartbeat.

"I don't dare, my Majesty, please calm down." Xu Lan kowtowed and said in a tearful voice.

"Okay, get up quickly." Lu Huiling, who was rarely in a good mood, stretched out her hand to help Xu Lan up and said to her, "Give me a simple bun, just like the bun I used to wear when I was a female official.

That’s it.”

Xu Lan was flattered and stood up quickly. After hearing Concubine Ming's request, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Concubine, this is not in line with etiquette."

The concubines' jewelry, hair, buns, and clothes, as well as the few bracelets on their hands, were all very particular, and they were not something to be messed with.

"Following the rules can make people bored." Lu Huiling smiled. She was referring to the concubines who abide by the palace rules all day long. They follow the rules every day when walking and walking. They are obviously living people, but they are rigid.

Abide by the palace rules and live like the same human figurine.

Xu Lan didn't understand what Concubine Ming meant. Didn't you just have to abide by the rules in the palace in order to survive?

However, the Empress Mingxian in front of her did not look like someone who would follow the rules. Perhaps it was because of this that she was favored by the emperor, and her popularity even surpassed that of the previous Empress Mingxian.

Xu Lan stood up slowly, and Lu Huiling smiled and turned to look at the bronze mirror.

Xu Lan slowly untied Concubine Ming's hair and put it into a simple upturned bun. When she was about to put on the golden hairpin for her, she hesitated for a moment and asked: "Concubine...these headdresses..."

Lu Huiling turned her face slightly and took a look, only picked a plain Zan gold jade rocker and put it on her head. It not only lost the nobility of her status, but also looked pure and elegant.

After finishing dressing up, Xu Lan served Lu Huiling for breakfast. Breakfast was also very particular. The emperor ordered the imperial kitchen to stew a black-bone chicken soup early and sent it to Minghua Hall. Lu Huiling didn't like meat and fish in the morning, but he tolerated it.

The black-bone chicken soup in the imperial dining room was rich and fragrant, so I drank two bowls of it as an exception. After drinking the hot soup, I felt seventy percent full. Xu Lan persuaded Lu Huiling to eat some pastries before giving up.

Aunt Xu Lan had to admit that although the Ming Concubine in front of her was unpredictable, she was still a little girl at heart. She didn't like to eat dinner and always liked to eat the snacks and shortcakes on the table.

After breakfast, Xu Lan and several palace maids accompanied Concubine Ming to the Qinzheng Hall. To be honest, Xu Lan was really unsure.

In the past, many years ago, she served Empress Mingxian. At that time, Empress Mingxian would not ignore the summons and go to Qinzheng Hall early in the morning to chat.

"Your Majesty, do you want to prepare the sedan chair?" Aunt Xulan asked cautiously before going out.

Lu Huiling turned her head, and the golden tassels on her bun jingled. Lu Huiling smiled with eight teeth as white as jade and said, "It's not far, I'll just walk there."

There was only a rockery and a water pavilion between Minghua Hall and Qinzheng Hall. Lu Huiling walked through the rockery. The time was whirling along the way. The shadows of the trees cast shadows on her goose-yellow clothes. She opened her arms and danced.

As he ran, the wide sleeves of his gorgeous clothes swayed in the wind, Xu Lan and several palace maids followed behind him, shouting constantly: "Your Majesty, please slow down, don't fall. Please wait for me, my slaves."

"

Lu Huiling thought it was funny and turned around to tell them to catch up quickly. Xu Lan was old and ran out of energy after running a few steps, so she quickly asked the palace maid behind her to follow her.

From a distance, Lu Huiling looks like a carefree little princess in the palace, unaware of the sufferings of the world and ignoring the world.

When they arrived in front of the Qinzheng Palace, the majestic palace door was tightly closed, and there were many imperial guards standing outside. Lu Huiling stopped at the steps of Qinzheng Palace, and Xu Lan and several palace maids slowed down.

Catch up slowly.

Lu Huiling looked at Eunuch He standing outside the palace door and knew that the emperor had already left the morning court and was handling government affairs in the Qinzheng Palace.

Lu Huiling smiled and picked up her skirt and ran up the steps. The imperial guards guarding the steps looked at each other in confusion. They didn't know whether to stop the concubine Ming who was being favored. They all turned their heads to look at Eunuch He.

Xu Lan and the other maids never expected that Concubine Ming would run up the steps unprepared. Seeing so many guards on the steps, they did not dare to follow them. They knelt down on the ground and exclaimed in a low voice: "Your Majesty!

No!"

Lu Huiling didn't listen to them, but after a while he ran to the door of Qinzheng Palace. Mr. He sat aside and listened to his young eunuch reporting on the recent affairs in the palace. Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of a concubine wearing a goose-yellow dress.

Just standing at the entrance of Qinzheng Hall.

Eunuch He quickly turned his head and saw that it was the newly appointed Concubine Ming yesterday. He quickly blocked the door and smiled politely: "Concubine Ming, I would like to pay my respects to Concubine Ming."

"Excuse me. Is your Majesty in here?" Lu Huiling asked with a smile.

When Eunuch He saw Lu Huiling smiling, he smiled and nodded unconsciously: "The Emperor is inside, but the Emperor is currently dealing with national affairs. Your Majesty should not know about it. Why don't you go back to Minghua Hall first?

When the emperor is done with his work, will I report to you on behalf of the empress?"

Lu Huiling looked up and looked at the golden plaque above her head with the three characters "Qinzheng Hall" written on it. She shook her head and said, "No, since the emperor is busy, I will wait for the emperor at the door."

Eunuch He only thought that she was having a child's temper, so he persuaded her in a good voice: "Oh, this can't be done. Madam, today is different from the past. It's cold outside. If you feel a little uncomfortable, Your Majesty can help you."

I feel bad."
