The maids of each palace entered July a few days after the division. The lotus flowers in the pond were blooming more and more brilliantly. Lin Su had already ordered the little eunuch to dig lotus root in the lake and eat it twice.
Early that morning, Lin Su called the Empress Dowager and went to the Chaofeng Hall again. Zhou Shuxian looked like she had just had breakfast. After Lin Su and others sat down one by one, she smiled and said, "You guys are quite neat today."
"Look at what the queen said, it is necessary to say peace to the Empress every day. If she is not feeling well and something is delayed, how can all the sisters not come to say good to her?" Zhou Shude relied on her blood relationship with Zhou Shuxian and spoke with less scruples, so she smiled and said.
Zhou Shuxian just smiled softly when she heard the words. She didn't know what it meant, but she didn't say anything more. After a while of silence in the hall, Zhou Shuxian said lazily, "Mama Zhang of Zhong Cui Palace came back and forth, saying that Zhong Cui Palace had been cleaned up and the house was almost cleaned up. The maids who have newly entered the palace this year are also in place. Therefore, I thought about it and felt that it was time for this year's beautiful girls to enter the palace, so I sent someone to inform the mother who raised them to learn the rules of the palace, so that they would be ready to move into the harem this afternoon.
As soon as this was said, the expressions of the women present were different. Zhou Shude frowned bluntly, while Lan Xin covered her chest slightly and seemed to feel uncomfortable. Lin Su had expected it for a long time, so there was no special reaction, but he raised his eyebrows and smiled and looked back.
Zhao Yuexin's worried face could not be concealed, and even her smile was forced. As for Wang Liulian, she seemed to have been in a daze as if she hadn't heard what Zhou Shuxian said.
Lin Su saw that the situation was indeed a little embarrassing, so she cleared her throat and smiled, "This is the best. In the future, there will be more sisters in our harem. Everyone can walk around and play leaf cards or something."
"What the virtuous concubine said is that you people either like poetry and songs, or like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or female red or something, and there is no one to talk and play cards with me in your spare time." Zhou Shuxian squeezed her lips and smiled, as if she was satisfied with the reaction of the women present. Her eyes turned slightly, and finally stopped on Lin Su. "At that time, let's ask Xianfei to accompany me to see several beautiful girls this year. After all, they may be sisters in our harem in the future and want to serve the emperor. If there is any inappropriate person, it is always good to find out early.
Lin Su stood up and saluted, "The minister and concubine obeyed the order, and then she will wait for the queen's order in the Fuliu Hall." She squeezed her lips and smiled, "It's not early today. The two little guys in the concubine's palace should have woken up and should cry. I will leave first."
Zhou Shuxian nodded with a smile, and the other women got up to leave when they saw Lin Su leaving. After the room was quiet again, Zhou Shuxian restrained her smile and sneered, "Lin Su, I think you can be proud of it!"
"It seems that the Empress is in a hurry." Lin Su returned to the palace and took turns to coax the two little guys. Then she turned to Xia Yan and said, "Today, I don't think Lan's look is right. How is she these days?"
"Two days earlier, I invited the imperial doctor to diagnose the pulse. Dr. Sun is the queen. Even if I try my best to see a doctor, I can't go anywhere. It's just a calming prescription. Previously, when Qiu Yan went to get medicine from the imperial hospital, he accidentally glanced at it. The things in it were not suitable for use with incense, and Dr. Sun didn't even notice it.
Lin Su's hand paused slightly, then put down the teacup and whispered, "Since Dr. Sun is the queen's person, I'm afraid the reason why he didn't find it is that the queen doesn't want to find it. It's just..."
However, Zhou Shuxian didn't know Lan Xin's background, but the Empress Dowager did. Why did the Empress Dowager let Zhou Shuxian do this? Or did Blue Heart say anything in front of the Empress Dowager at all?
This is really worth playing.
Let's put down Lan Xin for the time being. Just after lunch, Lin Su received the news that Zhou Shuxian sent Lan Rui, saying that Lin Su would go to the Chaofeng Hall first in the afternoon, and then the two would go to Zhong Cui Palace together.
Lin Su asked Xinrui to greet Lan Rui to go to the side hall for tea and snacks, and then took Chunyan into the inner hall to change into palace clothes and comb her scattered hair.
Lin Su changed into a goose-yellow palace costume, with a formal Japanese bun on one side, accompanied by beads of the same color. The whole person was a little lazy in the beauty and free from vulgarity, which would not suppress the limelight of the queen's formal dress at all.
When she left the inner hall, Lan Rui, who was already waiting on one side, couldn't help squinting her eyes, and then came forward to lead the way.
Zhou Shuxian called Lin Su over early, and naturally had something to say. The two knew it, so as soon as they sat down in the Feng Hall, they found their own reasons and sent the people around them out, leaving only Lanrui and Chunyan to serve them.
Lin Su held the teacup, lifted the golden lid and gently blew the tea inside. She looked slow and quietly waited for Zhou Shuxian to speak first.
When Zhou Shuxian saw her acting like this, she sneered in her heart but did not expose it. Instead, she said faintly, "According to your sister's ability, you have known this group of beautiful women, right?"
"The Empress laughed, and when the concubine was just talking with the imperial concubine, she occasionally heard the imperial concubine mention a few outstanding figures among these show women." Lin Su took a sip of tea and covered the teacup with a "bang" and turned her head to look at Zhou Shuxian. "I think the Empress has a good idea of how to arrange the beauties. Today, Lin Su followed her is just a help for the Empress."
Zhou Shuxian's breath was blocked in her chest. She couldn't spit or swallow, and her face gradually became a little difficult to look at.
She took a sip of tea fiercely before she said, "I think my sister has been showing goodwill these days and wants to get back together with me."
"The Empress is too worried. The Empress has always been the master of the six palaces of this harem. How dare my concubine not obey with an order? Lin Su put down the teacup in her hand with a smile and whispered, "If you have any instructions, it's better to order directly. I will obey."
Zhou Shuxian smiled with a satisfied smile on her face, and then slowly said, "This year's beautiful girl is led by Jiang Caier, the granddaughter of Jiang Ge. It is said that Rong Rong is the best color. I think the emperor will definitely like them when he sees them. However, after all, they grew up coquettishly in the boudoir, and there must be some arrogance of the eldest lady. If they bump into the emperor for a moment, it would not be beautiful.
