Nanny Deng picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the tea in the cup, and said: "I did think of something to say to Miss Fifth, but this is just my own humble opinion. If Miss Fifth feels it is useless after listening to it, just pretend that I didn't say it.

.”

Lu Wanning nodded: "Mom, please speak."

Aunt Deng put down her tea cup and said, "I suggest that Miss Fifth should practice her figure again if she has time after the new year."

"Practice your body?" Lu Wanning was confused.

Aunt Deng explained: "During the late emperor's time, the soft-bodied concubines in the harem were more favored by the late emperor."

No matter how much Nanny Deng didn't say, Lu Wanning was not a stupid person. She understood after thinking about it carefully, but she was still a boudoir girl after all. After understanding the meaning of Nanny Deng's words, her face still turned red uncontrollably.

.

"Thank you, mama, for reminding me. I'll remember it."

After saying what she had to say, Nanny Deng said her goodbyes again and left the Zhongyong Hou Mansion with her own baggage.

After Nanny Deng left, Lu Sunning thought for a long time how to train her figure.

Seeing Lu Wanning's worry, Yunxiang said, "If Miss doesn't understand, why don't we find someone who understands to teach Miss Yi?"

"But who are we looking for?" Bai Zhi asked.

Yunxiang looked hesitant, not sure whether to say anything.

Seeing Yunxiang like this, Bai Zhi said, "If you have any ideas, just tell them quickly. Even if it is inappropriate, the lady will not blame you."

Lu Wanning also said: "Bai Zhi is right. If Yunxiang has any ideas, just tell me and I will listen."

When Lu Wanning said this, Yunxiang did not hesitate and said: "Miss, I want to say that the body is soft, who can compare with those dancers, how about I go back to find a dancer and ask them, look at them

How did you practice it?"

It's just that the dancing girl has a low status after all, and Yunxiang is afraid that Lu Wanning will think that asking the dancing girl these things is beneath her status.

Lu Wanning didn't care about this. After hearing this, she thought about it and agreed, "Then you can ask someone after the new year."

The Zhongyong Hou Mansion follows the same procedures every year during the Chinese New Year, and it is the same this year. On the 30th of the New Year, everyone received the rewards from the palace, gathered together for the New Year's Eve dinner, and then went back to their own courtyards to watch the New Year.

From then on, until the fifteenth day, various banquets continued in the mansion, especially for several girls in the Hou's mansion who had reached the marriageable age. They were either led by Mrs. Lin or their mothers. Today, they are attending this banquet.

I will attend the banquet at that house tomorrow.

Because Lu Wanning had already decided to enter the palace, Mrs. Lin did not allow her to attend these banquets. Lu Wanning was also happy to be quiet. She either stayed in Qinya Pavilion reading books and making incense all day long, or went to accompany Tao and Lu Simo. She could be there

There is not much time left for the Hou family to spend time with them, and she wants to spend as much time with them as possible.

After fifteen years, Yunxiang found Duan Sanniang, the most famous dancer in Tianyin Pavilion, and learned from her how they developed their soft figures.

There are skills and so on, but they mainly rely on practice. It is impossible for Lu Wanning to become as good as them in a short time. Fortunately, Lu Wanning does not have such high requirements, so he can achieve whatever he can.

Lu Wanyi and Lu Yuan's father and daughter had been having trouble with Lin for so long years ago. Seeing that Lin's attitude was really firm, no matter whether they were being rude or soft-spoken, they could not make Lin change his mind.

People gradually gave up.

But every time Lu Wanyi saw Lu Wanning, her eyes were filled with jealousy and envy that she couldn't hide.

After Lu Wanrou knew that Lu Wanning was going to enter the palace, she looked at Lu Wanning with the same eyes as Lu Wanyi. Only Lu Wanqing remained consistent towards Lu Wanning.

But Lu Wanning didn't care much about these.

The exam was held in February. At the end of the first year, all the candidates from all over the country had already arrived in Beijing. Tao Yunyun also came to the capital at the end of the month. After he settled in the capital, he went to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion to pay his respects to Mr. Tao.

Lu Wanning happened to be at Tao's house when Tao Yunyun came to pay his respects. When he heard Tao Yunyun coming, Lu Wanning left first.

What he didn't expect was that as soon as Lu Wanning left Tao's courtyard, he ran into Tao Yunyun walking in.

"Cousin." Tao Yunyun's eyes lit up when he saw Lu Wanning.

It was too late for Lu Wanning to avoid him at this time, so he simply greeted Tao Yunyun generously, "Cousin."

"Did my cousin just go to accompany my aunt?" Tao Yunyun asked knowingly, just wanting to have a few more words with Lu Wanning.

Lu Wanning nodded and said: "Well, mother is very happy to know that my cousin is here. She is waiting for her inside now. Cousin, please go in quickly. I will leave first."

After saying that, Lu Wanning turned around and left.

Tao Yunyun opened his mouth, but in the end he only said, "Cousin, walk slowly."

After Lu Wanning left, she ran into Lu Wanrou again within a few steps. Lu Wanrou called out with a smile: "Fifth sister" and said: "I heard that the cousin of Fifth Sister's uncle's family came to pay respects to Third Aunt. Why did Fifth Sister come out so soon?

Come on, why don’t you chat with your uncle’s cousin for a while?”

Lu Wanning glanced at Lu Wanrou, and said indifferently: "Fourth sister is a boudoir girl, so it is inappropriate to care so much about my cousin, a foreigner. I don't know what the fourth sister is planning to do."

Lu Wanrou said with a smile: "Fifth sister thinks too much. I just feel sorry for fifth sister. What a good husband and son-in-law, but fifth sister will miss it because she enters the palace."

Lu Wanning shook her head in a funny way and said: "Fourth sister, although you are a concubine, you are still a girl from the Hou family. I advise you to be more careful when you speak. Don't talk about your husband and son-in-law all day long, so as not to

It’s embarrassing for people to hear it.”

Lu Wanrou's expression changed, and she forced a smile and said, "I mean well, why should Fifth Sister be angry?"

"You saw me angry with that eye?" Lu Wanning asked back, and before Lu Wanrou could answer, she said calmly: "Didn't the fourth sister hear it? I also had good intentions to persuade the fourth sister. After all, the fourth sister

If my grandmother and eldest aunt heard what I said, my fourth sister would have to be scolded again."

Hearing Lu Wanning mention the Lin family and the eldest lady Chang family, the forced smile on Lu Wanrou's face was a bit unbearable.

Seeing this, Lu Wanning stopped talking nonsense with Lu Wanrou and left with Yunxiang.

Lu Wanrou looked at Lu Wanning's leaving figure, bit her lip, and finally could only mutter unwillingly, "What's there to be proud of?"

Tao Yunyun paid his respects to Mrs. Tao and left without staying in the Marquis Mansion for any longer.

After he left, Mrs. Tao shook her head and sighed with the grandmother beside her: "What a good child, what a pity."

Mammy smiled and comforted Mrs. Tao and said: "Young Master Biao is indeed very good. He has a certain degree of advance and retreat. He is also the Jie Yuan of Yongning Mansion this year. He will probably pass the examination and the imperial examination this time. But Madam, you don't have to feel pity.

No matter how good the young master is, I still think that he is not good enough for our young lady, so entering the palace is the best choice for our young lady."
