Chapter 74 North and South List (3)
It was late at night, and the lights were still on in Wenhua Palace.
Today, the palace examination will be completed, and the imperial list will be posted after reviewing the rankings for three days, and then the ceremonies will be published.
(The case of the North and South List was a test, because those who participated in the palace examination were all those who passed the Jinshi exam. The emperor personally asked for advice and only the rankings were before and after, so there was no problem of dethroning. Here, the author talked about it in a mess. Don’t think the novelist’s words are true!)
"Long live my life, I will serve you to change your clothes!"
In the Jinshen Hall next to Wenhua Hall, Wu Baxiu took a few palace men to help Zhu Yunyu take off his robe and put on his usual clothes. Taking off his heavy robe, Zhu Yunyu suddenly felt much more relaxed.
"Your Majesty, I will give you food?" The turtlema asked in a low voice.
Zhu Yunxiu thought about it, "I'm not hungry yet!" As he said, he moved his hands and feet, "Go, go out for a walk, have been doing it all day!"
On this day, he may not be easier than those invigilators. He sat there like a Bodhisattva, his body stiff and hard.
I walked in the palace, because of the palace examination, the palace was full of joy. The evening breeze blew gently, and the refreshing feeling was a bit comfortable, which made people feel lighter.
As he walked, the turtlema looked at the direction and whispered, "Long live, who is going to go to for a rest?"
It turned out that Zhu Yunxiu had already walked to the West Six Palace without realizing it.
"Oh, then go to Rong'er's side. I haven't eaten the clear congee and side dishes over there for some days." As he said that, Zhu Yun's words suddenly changed, "Well, was Xiao Shunzi placed in Chonghua Palace?"
"Yes, Concubine Liang is in Fengyi Tower!" The turtle was happy and laughed in a low voice, "The Concubine Liang is still making a joke in the palace recently!"
Zhu Yunxi asked with great interest, "What joke?"
"Miss Liang went to the Empress Shu Concubine, saying that Fengyi Tower was too big, she couldn't live alone." The turtle laughed, "I pestered the Empress Shu Concubine to return to her original place to live, saying that she couldn't sleep after changing beds. She also said that Fengyi Tower was too big, and she was afraid of ghosts!"
"Haha!" Zhu Yunsheng smiled twice. Xiao Shunzi was innocent and had no scheming, but these words were said.
Immediately, he thought about it and continued, "Go to Fengyi Tower!"
"Abide by the order!" The turtle was bowing and responded, and took the gauze lamp from the hand of the little eunuch who was opening the road in front and picked it up and personally picked it up. The little eunuch who was originally in charge of the lamp went to report the letter in a flash.
In a moment, Fengyi Tower had arrived.
When Zhu Yunyu stepped into the courtyard, several palace maids and eunuchs bowed silently with lanterns, and Xiao Shunzi appeared at the door in full dress.
"Slave...I'm here to see the emperor!"
At the entrance of the main hall, Xiao Shunzi slowly bowed his blessings and bowed his head slightly, and the lights fell on her crystal headdress.
"Get up!" Zhu Yunxiu stepped forward, gently pulled the other person up, and looked at him carefully.
After a few days of sight, the little girl who was originally like a flower bud had grown up. Standing here, she was timid, she wanted to say something but she was still cautious, fear and shy to mix her face. The remaining one was a happy smile.
"You look good in this dress!" Zhu Yunxiu continued to smile.
Xiao Shunzi is a palace outfit with a waistband, which fully highlights the girl's slim figure. She no longer has the plain face facing the sky like before, with a slight pink makeup on her lips.
Under the light, her long eyelashes blinked, and her eyes were as clear as ever.
"Go back to the emperor, it looks good!" Xiao Shunzi hesitated for a moment and whispered, "It's just that I don't feel comfortable wearing it!" As he said, he looked at Zhu Yunxi's face and said boldly, "Wearing this clothes, you can't run or jump, you must walk and sit down properly, and your waist hurts when you are strangling!"
"You are a concubine now, not a little palace maid from the past, and you still want to run and jump!" Zhu Yunxiu said, scratching the other person's nose.
Suddenly, Xiao Shunzi's face turned red.
His eyes couldn't help but look at the side, but found that the turtle-shamed who was following Zhu Yunxiu, nodding to her with joy.
Xiao Shunzi mustered up the courage, "The emperor is here, take a break inside!"
"Yeah!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "Of course I have to take a break, otherwise why are you here?" As he said that, he walked in and looked at the furnishings in the hall.
This is the first time he has come to Fengyi Tower. Because he always feels a little guilty towards this girl, the specifications for the placement of her have been greatly improved.
The hall in front of her is not very luxurious, but the decoration, porcelain and bronze ware are all in line with her identity.
"I heard you can't live with it?" Zhu Yunxiu leaned casually on the long soft couch and smiled, "Is it too deserted here?"
"Yes!" Xiao Shunzi nodded repeatedly and whispered, "This Fengyi Tower is so big, there are only sixteen rooms alone, and it is so quiet that it is scary at night. And no one comes to me normally, and there is not even a person to talk to me!"
Zhu Yunxiu thought about it, "Tortoise, go back and adjust more people here!"
"Long live the emperor, I will know the inner magistrate tomorrow!" The turtle laughed.
"No, no!" Xiao Shunzi waved his hands repeatedly, "I am alone, so many people need to serve me." As he said that, he pouted slightly, "I am the daughter of a poor family, and I cannot stand serving others the most. These people around me are surrounded by me all day long, wishing they could help me give them food. I can't bear it if I come to me!"
What Zhu Yunyu likes is the stupidity of this girl and the straightness of this girl.
Seeing her standing under the lights, her face was vivid and rich when she spoke, she felt even closer, and she couldn't help but reach out to pull the other person directly.
"Oh!" Xiao Shunzi let out a low voice, and was pulled by Zhu Yunxiu to sit next to him.
One person leaned against each other, and the other person sat down. Under the light, their shadows were stretched for a long time.
"I know you are a lively girl. You are bored and bored to be stuck here every day!" Zhu Yunxiu gently kneaded the other party's round and slender fingers and smiled, "On weekdays, if you feel annoyed and bored, go to the queen's place and go to Shufei's place for a walk."
Xiao Shunzi felt his breathing was a little rapid. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at Zhu Yunxi's eyes. He whispered, "Miss is okay, but the Queen, I don't dare to go."
"What's wrong?" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "The queen is the most generous and closest to others!"
"I am a slave. When I see the Empress, I will not stand or sit!" As I said that, I paused, "The more I am kind to me, the less I don't know what to do!"
"Don't slap a slave in the future!" Zhu Yunxiu listened to her and reached out to scrape her nose.
As soon as he shaved, he could feel Xiao Shunzi's body trembling, which was very fun.
"You are my good concubine now!" Zhu Yunxi continued, "Don't underestimate yourself because of the past, do you understand?"
Xiao Shunzi didn't understand that deep down she was not happy because she became a concubine. Instead, sometimes she felt that life was less fun. For example, there were a bunch of people following her wherever she went, and she could no longer steal food in the kitchen without restraint, and she could no longer hide in the garden pavilion alone.
I can't do it anymore, laugh whenever I want to, jump around.
The days are better now than before, but after the freshness, she feels more about constraints.
Moreover, although she had a low status in the past, she had many.
But now she has a higher status and has lost a lot.
For example, those palace maids who used to joke with her privately.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Yunxiu saw that she didn't say anything, but there was a little sadness in her eyes and she said softly.
"No!" Xiao Shunzi whispered, tilting her head slightly. Pearl earrings on her earlobes complemented her fair skin.
"Xiaoxiao, I like to see you laugh!" Zhu Yunxiu's hand gently held the other person's earlobe.
With a swish, Xiao Shunzi's face turned red like a cherry.
"What's wrong? I'm afraid of it!" Zhu Yunxi smiled and slowly approached.
