When Lin Wanwan was called by the palace maid the next day, she was still a little confused.
The rules in the palace are very strict. The emperor gets up early in the morning to handle government affairs, let alone other people.
Regardless of whether they are favored or not, the concubines have to go to pay their respects to Her Majesty the Queen early in the morning anyway, so it is impossible to sleep in late.
Thinking that traveling through time and being a concubine in the palace can make you a salty fish is a fool's dream. Every day's rules and etiquette can crush people.
The most painful thing for Lin Wanwan after entering the palace was getting up early every day.
As a person, she is very good at going to bed late, but she is really not good at getting up early.
When she started working after graduation, she would always check in when she was late.
Later, she was lucky enough to discover the secret of the time and space bracelet. By relying on the time and space master, she was able to achieve financial freedom and no longer had to work nine to five. From then on, she was basically insulated from her early morning hours.
The last time I insisted on getting up early every day was when I was unexpectedly locked up at Lu Shouyue's Haicheng home.
Getting up early this time was much more difficult than the last time, because everyone in the palace started working before dawn.
Although Lin Wanwan, as the Lord of Le'an Township and the number one master in the harem, did not have many people to serve, she still couldn't sleep in. It was the rule to go to greet the Changsun family early in the morning.
If she can't get up, someone who can get up will naturally be responsible for waking her up.
After Lin Wanwan delivered the baby last night, she stayed with Changsun in the delivery room for an hour.
The first hour after delivery is a dangerous period, and heavy bleeding often occurs during this period.
Fortunately, such a low-probability thing did not happen to Queen Changsun.
So it was already late at night when Lin Wanwan came out of the delivery room.
As usual, she took a bath in the palace bathroom before going to bed, and also received a personal massage from the palace maid.
Don't mention it, take a bath and massage before going to bed, it is very helpful to sleep and very comfortable.
Although it was a bit strange for Lin Wanwan to take a bath wearing a swimsuit, the maids knew the rules and would not say a word easily.
As for Lin Wanwan wearing a strange cloth while taking a bath, no one else knew about it except the two palace maids who were assigned to serve her closely.
The two palace maids were tight-lipped and did not share this strange incident with their colleagues as an after-dinner conversation.
Lin Wanwan was also generous to the two of them. She had already given them several modern, perfectly round, non-porous pearls, about 8-9mm in size, which are modern seawater cultured pearls.
Although this kind of cultured pearls are not very valuable in modern times, they only cost tens of dollars each.
But in the Tang Dynasty, the pearls of this quality she brought out were very valuable, so the two palace ladies naturally became more and more considerate when serving Lin Wanwan.
Gold, silver and treasures are useful wherever they go.
While Lin Wanwan was washing up, she asked about the little princess and the eldest grandson.
I learned that Li Shimin happily named the little princess Si Zi as soon as she was cleaned and carried out of the delivery room yesterday, and she was given a reward to all the palaces to celebrate together.
Lin Wanwan had to lament that Li Shimin was really a daughter slave!
When his favorite third princess was born, you can imagine how rare he would be.
Lin Wanwan decided to say goodbye immediately after going to greet the Changsun family later. Staying for a quarter of an hour would increase the risk of something unexpected happening.
She didn't want to serve the Changsun family well and be treated like a pediatrician again.
She couldn't eat well or sleep well in the palace, which was really annoying.
Although there are three meals a day, they are all delivered uniformly, and you don’t have to choose the dishes. You can eat whatever is available. As for summer fruits, she can only get a share if the high-ranking concubines reward her.
Her favorite watermelon in the summer was the cold melon from the Tang Dynasty. It was a tribute from the Western Regions. The emperor and queen could not eat it freely, so how could Lin Wanwan enjoy it?
The more than ten days in the palace really made her miserable.
It’s such a hard time to clock in and clock out at work!
The breakfast assigned to Lin Wanwan today was a bowl of millet porridge with Tang Dynasty characteristics (almost the modern millet porridge), and it was also served with a piece of cold melon and six grapes for the first time!
For those in the palace, Lin Wanwan's meal was very luxurious!
It seems that the smooth birth of the little princess made Li Shimin very happy. It is estimated that everyone in the harem should be rewarded.
But, just slices of cold melon and grapes? Haha! In modern times, everyone has the blessing of the court nobles!
If she hadn't been trapped in Chang'an, Lin Wanwan could have brought cold melons and grapes from modern times to Linjiazhuang every day to eat, and everyone in the slave family would have a share!
Now in Chang'an, she has to go through a lot of trouble to eat some cold melons and grapes. There are no public stores selling them in the east and west cities anyway, and when they arrive, they are only circulated among the wealthy businessmen and aristocrats in the Western Regions.
This thing is equivalent to a special gift for future generations. It is not something you can buy with a little money. You must have channels and conditions.
Lin Wanwan only ate one grape and gave the rest to the two maids who served her.
It's not that her concept of equality is too deep and she insists on sharing everything equally with the servants, but that her mouth has long been cultivated by the extremely sweet grapes grafted and cultivated by later generations, and she can't eat this sour grape from 1,400 years ago.
The original strain of grapes is so hard to eat that your teeth will become sore.
After breakfast, Lin Wanwan went to pay her respects to Queen Changsun.
Yesterday's delivery consumed a lot of her blood and energy, and she still looks gloomy today.
After briefly speaking to Lin Wanwan, he let her go.
Because Changsun couldn't get wind during confinement, she couldn't enjoy the air-conditioning fans that were popular in Chang'an this summer. Several large basins of ice were placed in the house to cool down, but they didn't have much of a cooling effect.
This month, she was very sad.
Even if you are a queen, you still have to endure the hardships of confinement!
It's not as happy as a mother from a well-off family in the future who spends tens of thousands to live in a confinement center, where everyone from the mother to her family is comfortable.
Ice in the summer is also a luxury item in Chang'an. The Changsun family is frugal and is reluctant to use ice.
Let's go to the palace to escape the summer heat. Her physical condition cannot withstand a long journey of hundreds of miles. By the time she is out of confinement, Qiuhu will be almost here.
Although Lin Wanwan could make as much ice as she wanted, she couldn't use it to please the royal family, as that would be a source of trouble for herself.
It was enough for her and Xiao Qingyu to enjoy it secretly, and others really couldn't take care of it.
Anyway, Li Lizhi now partners with her to run the Soap Shop, and is already the richest among the princesses. It is not difficult to spend money to buy ice cream. Of course, she, the eldest daughter, should be responsible for honoring the eldest grandson.
.
In Chang'an City, the only family that Lin Wanwan had ever given ice to was Empress Xiao.
This magnificent former empress took great care of her. Lin Wanwan returned the favor and sent her a fan, along with half a truck of ice.
The Xiao family, with whom she was nominally engaged, she only gave Princess Xiangcheng a fan, but of course no ice.
Sun Laoze lives in Lin Wanwan's manor most of the time. She doesn't need to send ice specially, she can just enjoy it in the manor.
