Li Yunjian acted swiftly and resolutely in everything he did, and by saying that Lu Jitang was to host the annual gift, he really spread the news that Lu Jitang would be the host of this year's annual gift.

Early the next morning, when Lu Jitang went for a walk in the garden, he heard about it.

Officials of all ranks and the harem were talking about it, and the one who was most affected was Concubine Xian, the host of the annual gift.

This matter can be seen from Lu Jitang's daily morning and evening visits. Concubine Xian is obviously not as imposing as before, and Concubine Rong behind her always looks at her with white eyes.

Lu Jitang felt a little embarrassed. After all, the annual gift was an opportunity to get a better look in front of the emperor and the ministers. Even if it wasn't for Concubine Xian, it should be presided over by concubines from other palaces.

He never expected to be cut off by him this year, and he is also a layman. Since elementary school, his etiquette and knowledge are all the same as dealing with men outside, so he doesn't know the etiquette of the harem.

Lu Jitang thought about it for a while, and said cautiously: "Although I will host this year's annual gift, there are still some things that I have to ask Concubine Xian to help with everyone."

As soon as the words were finished, Concubine Xian's face, which was originally calm and self-sufficient, suddenly turned ugly, and Lu Jitang, who knew he had said something wrong, immediately shut up.

Coming out of Duli Palace, Concubine Rong wrung the handkerchief fiercely, wishing she could hold Lu Jitang's head.

"Sister You, you said that this year's annual gift will be presided over by him. It was spread all over the palace and outside the palace early this morning. Who doesn't know about it? He will show it in front of all the sisters and say it again. It would be hypocritical to ask us all to help!"

Concubine Xian lowered her eyes and helped Fuyao on her bun, "He respects the queen, we just need to respect him, there's no need to make it too ugly, it's not good for you or me."

It's fine if she doesn't say anything, but Concubine Rong gets angry again when she mentions this.

"He also knows that he is a queen, so what is it to dominate the emperor these days? Shouldn't he persuade the emperor to share the rain and dew?"

As a queen, being jealous is a big taboo. The emperor stays in Duli Palace every day, and I haven't seen Lu Jitang persuade her to think that they are all dead in other palaces.

This matter really wronged Lu Jitang, he really didn't know about it, he only thought it was normal for Li Yunjian to come to him, never thought that there are other women in the palace who need Li Yunjian.

"Sister You was favored by the emperor a few days ago, but I haven't seen the emperor for a long time..." After Concubine Rong finished speaking, she drooped her head and pouted, her youngest daughter's posture was unmistakable.

Concubine Xian thought of what happened a few days ago, subconsciously raised her right hand to the lower abdomen, her eyes gradually became firmer.

Concubine Xian and Concubine Rong were whispering in their own palace, while Lu Jitang was about to be tortured insane in Duli Palace.

"This...is this all the records from previous years?"

The table in front of Lu Jitang is full of books, each of which is as thick as palms together. It is a record of the palace's previous years. There are words and pictures, which vividly express the macroscopic scene of the banquet in the palace.

Xiao Xizi nodded yes, arranged it for Lu Jitang according to the order of the year, and brought a bowl of medicine from the table beside him.

"Empress, it's time to drink the medicine, the slave tried it."

This means that the medicine is safe, he has already drank it, and there is no problem, so that Lu Jitang can drink it with confidence.

Lu Jitang took the bowl and drank it in one gulp, then handed the empty bowl to Xiaoxizi.

"Just bring it up in the future. What do I have that is worth their murder? Besides, even if there is, you shouldn't bear it for me."

A person has only one life, he has one, and Xiao Xizi only has one, if something happens, Xiao Xizi should not be asked to die for him.

Xiao Xizi was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground, repeatedly expressing her loyalty:

"Empress Empress, it is an honor for this slave to carry on the back of Empress Empress, and it is also my wish for Empress Empress to have a safe life in this life. In the future, Empress Dowager should think more about everything, and leave everything to slave!"

"Okay, first thing," Lu Jitang said, stretching out a finger, "Change your words first, don't call me Empress Empress anymore, just call me Mr. Lu."

Xiao Xizi was in a dilemma. The emperor attaches great importance to respect and inferiority. If he directly called someone "Mr. Lu", it would be good if the emperor didn't bump into him. If the emperor bumped into him...

As if seeing what Xiao Xizi was struggling with, Lu Jitang reassured him, "If you are in front of the emperor, you can shout whatever you want. If the emperor is not around, let's keep things simple."

Xiao Xizi nodded and agreed.

"Second thing." Lu Jitang stretched out two fingers again, "You bring someone to help me organize it. If there are any outstanding things in the brochures over the years, please show me after sorting them out."

With so many brochures, if he just reads them by himself, when will he go to see them?

Xiao Xizi made it even more difficult: "Emperor, Mr. Lu... slave, slave can't read..."

Lu Jitang didn't believe it: "Just now you arranged the brochures for me according to the year, and you said you couldn't read?"

"Back to Mr. Lu, this slave can only recognize the years, but I really don't know the characters inside."

"..." Lu Jitang has encountered little illiterates all these years, but he has never encountered a semi-literate one like Xiao Xizi. He pointed to Xiao Xizi and sighed.

"It's time for you to learn how to read with Tianbao."

Xiao Xizi approached with a smile, and said with a shy face, "I don't dare to read and write with His Highness the Crown Prince, I'm fine if I wait by the side, I can find someone to tidy up."

After speaking, he packed up the booklets on the case, and went out to find someone with his arms in his arms.

Lu Jitang took his eight "ladies of the palace" to the East Palace. Walking in front of the gate of the East Palace, Lu Jitang stopped. The East Palace Li Yunjian mentioned was no longer the East Palace. Bao newly built.

Tian Bao was eating snacks under the service of Eunuch Feng, holding a wooden cricket bought from outside the palace.

"Tian Bao, have you done your homework today?"

Lu Jitang didn't give him a chance to respond, and asked about homework as soon as he entered the door.

Naturally, Tian Bao didn't do it. He came here with Eunuch Feng this morning. Eunuch Feng brought him a lot of snacks and toys. He had something to eat and play with. That was a joy. How could he want to get homework? ?

Knowing that he was wrong, Tian Bao immediately put down the toy in his hand, wiped the snack foam from his mouth, and lowered his head to read the book seriously.

The well-behaved scene made Eunuch Feng feel heartbroken and disapproved with a wrinkled face.

"Eunuch Feng, don't feel sorry for him. Although Tian Bao is still young, his age is the critical time for him to establish a career. If he doesn't develop good rules at this time, it will be difficult to change in the future."

Eunuch Feng naturally knew that their emperor had no one to discipline them when they were young, and they didn't do well when they stood up, and it was too late when they found out, so they hurriedly sent them to the disciple of the emperor Zhou Baoyong. .

There was a living example from Li Yunjian before, and Lu Jitang’s requirements for Tianbao were even higher in his heart. He was required to read twenty times a day, copy the copybook ten times, recite two articles aloud, and recite one before going to bed. poetry.

As a result, it was almost noon and Tian Bao didn't do a single thing, so Lu Jitang naturally put on a stern face angrily.

"You have to finish your homework within two hours, because after two hours, you still have to go for treatment."

Tian Bao nodded aggrievedly, and blinked the tears that were about to come out abruptly into his eyes, which made Eunuch Feng feel even more distressed.

"Empress, His Royal Highness is still young and doesn't understand these things. The snacks and toys are brought by slaves. If you want to punish them, punish them."

Lu Jitang knew that the snacks and toys were brought by Li Yunjian, and there was no one in the palace who could rest assured, so he could only ask Eunuch Feng to follow Tian Bao to serve him.

What a loving mother who loses her son!

Li Yunjian, who was reading the memorial, sneezed suddenly, unaware that Lu Jitang had classified him as a loving mother.
