Long Harem Road

Chapter 5

"Okay, Liu Quan stays, and the rest of you leave!"

"Yes!", Liu Quan looked at the trembling retreating person, his eyes that had been calm all this time finally flashed a wave of fluctuation, he did not expect his master to use him so much.

"Liu Quan, tell me about Zhang Jieyu who just entered the palace two days ago."

Liu Quan knew that this was the master's first test for him. A good subordinate, especially a confidant, must know what the master needs; he must always be vigilant, pay attention, and be able to grasp all relevant information.

"Returning to the master, Zhang Jieyu is the first one to enter the palace this year and lives in Taohua Pavilion. Our Cuilu Pavilion is to the east of Qianqing Palace, and Taohua Pavilion is to the west. The distance from Qianqing Palace is almost the same as Cuilu Pavilion. .

Zhang Jieyu entered the palace and stayed in bed for two consecutive days. The emperor rewarded her a lot, but she was not promoted. "

"Is there anything special going on in the palace recently?"

"Returning to the master, there is not; but the tenth day of October is 'Christmas', and there are still more than three months from now, master, please make preparations as soon as possible."

"Yes, I see." Baozhu murmured in her heart, this old emperor is too arrogant, and even set his birthday as a holiday, why isn't it Christmas?

A distant memory, since it is so similar to Christmas, let's prepare according to Christmas, doesn't it mean that all the new gadgets produced by time-traveling girls can win the championship in one fell swoop.

"Well, I did not misread you, Huanxi, reward!" Huanxi handed Liu Quan a bigger purse.

"Thank you for the reward, master and son, it is the duty of a slave to share the master's worries!"

"Well, all of you, go down and get busy. We have just entered the palace. The things in the room and the things we brought have to be registered separately. You can arrange the specific matters."

"Yes!"

The sun was scorching the earth, but the people in the emerald green pavilion were not affected by the scorching heat at all. They were very busy, happily leading the people to clean and bask in the sun one by one, while registering and registering the objects in the hall.

After a busy morning, everyone finally checked all the items in Cuiluxuan. At this time, Baozhu had already finished her lunch and hid in the inner room for a lunch break.

As confidants and subordinates, Huanxi and Liu Quan could only continue to do their best for the master who put down the pick, and the appointed ones sorted out the materials and transferred—taught the servants.

Baozhu lying on the soft couch is being served by joy and is enjoying it. The coolness of the ice cubes in the room can’t help but admire: Power is good, as long as the policy is set, someone below will automatically implement it. No wonder everyone is desperately trying to climb up.

Qianqing Palace, Imperial Study Room

The emperor Zhao Zhen sat on the dragon chair in a golden dragon robe, frowning slightly, and focused on reviewing the memorial at hand. Li Mingzhong, dressed in a red eunuch uniform, stood by the side respectfully.

He put down the memorial and the vermilion pen in his hand, and pinched his brows with his slender, fair fingers. Li Mingzhong delivered a cup of tea that was just hot, and Zhao Zhen took a sip of the tea ceremony, "Li Mingzhong, Ji Jieyu has already entered the palace?"

"Go back to the emperor, you have already entered the palace in the morning."

"Well, is there any movement over there?" Zhao Zhen asked suddenly after thinking for a moment.

"Back to the emperor, Ji Jieyu summoned all the servants of Cuiluxuan as soon as she arrived, and promoted a eunuch in charge; arranged for her subordinates to register all the objects in the hall;

In addition, she arranged for her personal maid and the eunuch in charge to register and investigate the experience and background of each servant in Cuilvxuan. "

"Oh? Sure enough, she is smart and lazy." Zhao Zhen smiled playfully, but she was an interesting woman.

If Baozhu knew what the emperor and Li Mingzhong said, he would definitely admire Zhao Zhen's control over the palace, and he knew everything she did.

At the same time, I will spit on Zhao Zhen again, scolding him for being ignorant, this is not laziness, this is called standardized management, do you understand, if you have to do everything yourself, then the old lady will not be exhausted.

An afternoon passed quickly amidst the busyness of the people in Cuilvxuan, and in the blink of an eye, it was already dark.

Cuiluxuan finally welcomed his first guest, the emperor's servant Li Mingzhong, a famous celebrity. Li Mingzhong saw that Cuilvxuan's arrangement was well-organized, and Ji Jieyu was even more disciplined, so he said directly:
"The emperor ordered, tonight the Cuilu Pavilion is holding the lamp, congratulations to Ji Jieyu!", Li Mingzhong is a smart person, he will not easily offend anyone, this time he will also bend over and smile to congratulate Baozhu.

"Mr. Li, you are being polite. I would like to trouble you to go all the way. Huanxi, make a cup of our new tea for Mr. Li. In addition, pack a portion of the preserved apricots we brought from outside the palace for Mr. Li."

"Yes!", Huanxi directly stuffed Li Mingzhong with a big purse.

Li Mingzhong carefully weighed the purse in his hand, and thanked Baozhu again, "Thank you, master Ji, for the reward, and the miscellaneous family will be disrespectful."

The second rule of Gongdou is that the celebrity in charge around the emperor must not be offended, and she has to be courted without any trace. It took her several years to find out that the celebrity around the emperor actually likes the king outside the palace. secret preserved apricots.

Such a weird preference, no wonder no one has discovered it for so many years.

Li Mingzhong put away the purse and wrapped apricots, and saluted Baozhu again, "Lao Ji Jieyu has spent money, the miscellaneous family has returned to reply." Liu Quan hurried forward, respectfully sent Li Mingzhong out of Cuiluxuan, Ji Baozhu more satisfied with him.

Li Mingzhong, who was walking on the road, put away his smile and said: Ji Jieyu is not simple, the old slave is so careful, he can find out the little hobbies that have never been discovered, it seems that this one has to be more careful in the future.

After receiving the order, everyone in Cuiluxuan prepared happily. Today is the master's first bedtime visit. They must not be sloppy. This master is out of luck, so they have to follow.

'Men will distinguish between playthings and wives.Yes, the more mature a man is, the more he has his own standards. He can even tell at the first glance whether a woman is for sex or for a relationship.'

'No man spends too much time on toys, just like buying clothes, always looking forward to the next one in the store.And a wife is like a house. For him, it is stable and reliable, and it needs to spend emotional energy to arrange and pursue it. '

Baozhu is very clear about her current position. She is the emperor's concubine, not his wife, and she is one of many concubines. To put it bluntly, she is just a concubine, but a royal concubine with a higher status.

For the emperor, apart from their function of appeasing the former dynasty, they are not his playthings, so the first step for Baozhu to do is to prevent herself from becoming a plaything in the emperor's heart.

Ji Baozhu believes that Zhao Zhen had a good impression of her during the palace selection, so what she has to do tonight is to enhance the emperor's impression of her, and it is a different impression from other concubines, apart from being gentle and considerate More self-confidence and a strong heart.

"Master, it's time to take a bath and change clothes." Joy walked in and said to Baozhu who was in a daze.

"Well, you can serve it. You don't need to add any spices to the water. It's refreshing. Also, don't use any incense in the room."

In the hot summer, it is better to be refreshing. The air in Cuiluxuan already has a little fragrance of bamboo, and adding incense or floral dew will be counterproductive.

"Yes, Master!"

After bathing, Baozhu let Huanxi and Joy wring her hair dry, "Just make a simple bun that is refreshing and more capable, and fix it with a jade hairpin; you don't need to put on makeup, and bring me that light blue one." gauze skirt."

"Yes!", although Huanxi and Huanxi knew that most of the concubines serving the bed should dress up graciously, and women should be pleasing to themselves, but for the blind trust of the master, they should do well according to Baozhu's requirements.

"Just wear the pearl earrings." Tonight, the sheets are going to be sex, and Baozhu doesn't want to accidentally get her earrings crushed and hurt her ears.

"What time is it?", in the imperial study, Zhao Zhen put down the ink brush in his hand and asked.

"Back to the emperor, it's already [-]:[-] o'clock."

Zhao Zhen hesitated for a moment, remembering the interesting woman in the palace selection, put down the vermilion pen in his hand, stood up, and said, "Putting out Cui Lu Xuan.".

"Yes, Your Majesty is driving Cuiluxuan..." Li Mingzhong walked to the door of the imperial study and shouted.

When Zhao Zhen arrived at Cuiluxuan with the emperor's guard of honor, he saw Ji Baozhu holding a glazed palace lantern from a distance, looking at him with a smile, squatting down gracefully to salute, and parted his red lips, "I have seen the emperor!" .

Looking at the beauty under the lamp, the more she looked, the more charming she became. Zhao Zhen pulled Baozhu into his arms without waiting for Baozhu to squat down.

Practice makes perfect, after so many years of acting, it has long become a habit to directly pull beautiful women into his arms, and then push them away without a trace.

Different from the pungent smell of rouge and gouache in the past, this woman only had a fresh and dry smell, mixed with a faint fragrance of bamboo leaves, Zhao Zhen did not push away like the previous women.

Zhao Zhen found that he liked this fresh smell very much, so he went a step further, hugged the princess directly, picked up the orb and walked into the inner room, the orb was suddenly picked up, and subconsciously hugged Zhao Zhen's neck, with a faint smile. The fragrance is clear, the throat is clear and the voice is tender, "The emperor...".

Zhao Zhen was very satisfied with Baozhu's performance. Under the dense shadow that no one saw, a smile flashed across his eyes, and he patiently comforted him, "Good boy, it will be here in a while!" The little girl was placed on the bed.

Li Mingzhong, who was following behind, was really dumbfounded. He stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes. That's right, this proud emperor, who had never hugged a prince so far, actually hugged Ji Jieyu.

Hey, the harem is probably going to be a sensation because of this incident.
