Chapter 33(1/2)

An autumn rain and a coolness.

The downpour of that day suddenly drew the boundary between summer and early autumn.

After Liu Anan came back, he felt a little hot. He poured a bowl of ginger soup, squidled on the bed for a day, and made the heat come out, which was considered good.

The palace has been busy preparing for the change of seasons, and everything from ornaments to small items has to be changed.

The Yuanchen Hall is located in a dark place. As soon as early autumn begins, a cold wind blows out, and the inside of the hall is then cooled down. The curtains in the hall have also changed from light gauze to slightly thick brocade to cover them.

The female official from the Sigong Bureau in the palace came to measure Liu An'an's body and asked her to spread her hands and measure them everywhere.

"The beauty has recently reduced the clearance, but she has grown a little taller."

Liu Anan excitedly raised his hand and gestured: "Take it seriously?"

She has been short since she was young and is with the princess sister. She is obviously only half a year away, but she seems to be three or four years old. She looks too younger.

She hadn't grown taller for a year since she and the hairpin. Unexpectedly, after entering the palace, she was a little taller.

"The skirt is cut a little longer, maybe when I get dressed, I will grow taller again."

The female official agreed with a smile.

"Those shoes, I will also make the beauty taller."

The female official casually said, "I think in addition to these, there are some small clothes that need me to come. I also ask the beauty to come in. I will measure the beauty."

Ah, I have to measure something else for her.

"Beauty, it may be cold if you take off your shirt. Why don't you guys go to close the doors and windows?"

The female official asked.

Junqing immediately arranged for the four palace maids to close the doors and windows to avoid wind coming in.

Liu Anan allowed the female official to follow in the inner hall, and the maid Linglong also came in to help.

She spread her hands, and the female official came to untie the strap around her waist, and whispered as she approached.

"Beauty, I was sent by the little prince to help you."

Liu Anan bowed his head suddenly.

The half-knee female official was still undressing her head with her head down and untied her clothes. Her face was calm and she could hardly tell what she had just said.

Linglong leaned over and took the clothes and said quickly: "Girl, this is the female official Xu who was favored by the old prince back then. The young prince is afraid that the girl will be isolated and helpless, so he contacted the female official Xu to make it easier for the beauty to act."

"The beauty first entered the palace, and there was no time to arrange everything, so the beauty waited for three months."

Linglong stretched between her eyebrows: "Now, with the lady Xu, it's much more convenient for beauty to do whatever she wants."

Liu Anan asked blankly: "Can you tailor me more clothes?"

But according to the beauty's position, she can get a lot of new clothes.

All these are enough for her to wear. Just now, Miss Xu said that she had grown taller. If she made too many new clothes, wouldn’t it be a waste?

"It's better not to be free, I can't wear that much by myself."

The look of the lady Xu looking up at her was puzzling.

Linglong is anxious.

"Beauty, it's not about tailing you more clothes, but about the beauty and His Majesty."

The female official Xu stood up to look at Liu An'an's body, and while recording it, she said in a steady voice: "I have been in the palace for many years, and there are a few people around me who can be used. I will send my orders to the beauty tomorrow. If there is anything they need to do, the beauty will give me the order."

"The beauty has just entered the palace. I am afraid that I know very little about His Majesty and the harem. Having an informed person around me can help me, which is a helping for the beauty."

"The little prince is looking forward to the beauty's news as soon as possible."

Liu Anan was silent.

It has been half a year since Tongzhou Prefecture to the entrance of the palace. Compared with what she thought at first, she either died or succeeded in a short period of time, the mistake was too far.

So far, she has only replied to two letters.

And they all reported good news but not bad news, but there was no progress.

It seems that my brother-in-law is anxious.

She has not successfully mentioned the issue of Zhennan Prince's Mansion yet, which is indeed her problem.

After the measurement was completed, Xu bowed his knees: "I have measured it. This is written by me. I will ask the beauty to read it, but there is a mistake from the last time."

After saying that, she presented a letter with both hands.

Liu Anan took it, turned it on and saw a thin page.

The above are the familiar handwriting of the brother-in-law.

He mentioned that she had known that she had entered the palace for several months and asked her if her situation was good, that she could get along well with the new emperor, and whether she had mentioned the issue of Zhennan Prince's Mansion.

Finally, I asked her if she was pregnant.

Pregnant...

Not long ago, Concubine Shu mentioned this matter.

Is the most important thing for her now to be pregnant?

Why? Concubine Shu was able to live in the palace safely after she had a daughter. Then why did her righteous brother also want her to have a child? What if she had a child?

Liu Anan didn't quite understand what Brother Yi meant, so he folded the letter silently and handed it to Linglong.

"Since the beauty is confirmed, I will continue to give the order. To facilitate the beauty, in the past two days, I will send a little palace maid over. If the beauty has anything to change, whether it is fabric or embroidery, let the little palace maid come and tell me that if there is anything that needs to be explained to me, I can come in person."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jun Qing walked in bypassing the screen.

The lady Xu lowered her eyes and bowed her knees to salute.

"If there is no other order from the beauty, I will give up."

Jun Qing and the female official Xu saluted each other. After Xu left, Jun Qing smiled and said, "Beauty, I didn't expect that the female official Xu Sizhi of the Sigong Bureau came to tailor the beauty in person. In the autumn, the beauty will have many beautiful new clothes."

"Oh, is that?"

Liu Anan tied his shirt and asked curiously: "This female official Xu is very powerful?"

"Mr. Xu has been in the palace for more than ten years and is an old man in the palace. She is proficient in the politician system. At that time, the concubines in the palace of the late emperor were lined up to ask Mr. Xu to do it themselves."

Liu Anan learned a little.

Such a powerful person.

The next day, the female official Xu delivered a young palace maid.

According to the position, in addition to the four great palace maids in the Beauty Hall, there are also small palace maids serving outside the hall. It is not uncommon for one more subordinate of the Ministry of the Ministry to throw him over to take action temporarily.

The little palace maid is sweet-mouthed and diligent, and within two days he became familiar with the palace maids in the palace.

Linglong indulged her again. Liu Anan got up to do her makeup. When she sat in front of the dressing table, she pinched the comb to comb her hair. She was replaced by the little palace maid.

"When I was young, I was at the Sigong Bureau and followed the female official Sizhen. I was quite adept at combing my hair."

As she said that, the little palace maid held a flying bun for Liu Anan very quickly. She combed her hair well, without a trace of broken hair.

He picked a hairband in the jewelry box and tied it into the bun, and the little palace maid stepped back.

"Please also take a look at the beauty."

Liu Anan shook her head curiously. The bun on her head was very tightly wrapped, but she didn't have to tighten her scalp. The bun was floating like an ecstasy, which was indeed different from before. The little palace maid sent was a good thing.

"The beauty is rare to dress up today, why not go out and walk around?" The little palace maid smiled, "I saw that the spring chrysanthemums were blooming outside, and I thought that if the beauty loves flowers, she could go and have a look."

"How do you know I love flowers?" Liu Anan held her hair bun and stared at her curiously from the bronze mirror.

The little palace maid bent down and said, "Although it's not good to let the beauty know. But the slave is a beauty, so he naturally speaks for everything."

"The beauty loved flowers. She once came out with His Majesty in order to appreciate the flowers. But it was raining heavily, and the beauty was sick because of this." The little palace maid smiled, "There are not many masters in the palace, and the movements of the beauty are almost known to everyone."

It is known to everyone. Liu Anan thought of the heavy rain that day, and she and Chu Yu were crowded in the narrow rockery gap. For the half hour of silence, he quickly shook his head. He didn't think about it anymore. No one else knew about it.

"The beauty is not so bored when she is in the hall all day long? It's good to go out for a walk and have some breathing."

The little palace maid persuaded her a few more words, and even Linglong advised her: "Yes, the beauty was sick a few days ago and she has been getting better these few days. But she hasn't gone out for several days. The weather is cheerful today. Why not go out for a walk?"

It's true that I haven't gone out for a few days.

Liu Anan felt moved in his heart and ordered to walk around the most blooming place of the flowerbed.

As autumn begins, even at noon, it may not be a little hot. The sun is good, and walking in the sun is warm and comfortable.

The little palace maid leads the way. She is a talkative person and can make people laugh. Liu Anan follows her, introduces her all the way, and sees the beautiful scenery along the way.

"Beauty, there is Feiyan Pavilion in front of it. There is a tall tree outside Feiyan Pavilion, and a swing is hung on it. Standing on the swing, you can see outside the palace wall."

Outside the palace wall?

Liu Anan became interested and asked the little palace maid to lead the way.

The Feiyan Pavilion is not far from you, and you are almost at the front hall as you walk.

The distance between it and Qinzheng Hall is very close.
