The Way of Favors

Chapter 226

It's a long day in summer, and it's light outside.

At the end of the morning exercise, Fu Rong was sweating all over, and his legs trembled to go to the west house for a bath.

Lanxiang led the little servant girl to come in. She rolled up the two layers of silk and satin on the bamboo mat for a while and sent it to the laundry room. Then she wiped the bamboo mat with a towel twisted with water. In winter, girls train legs with cushions. In summer, it's too hot. They change bamboo mats. After practicing for a few times, they feel that bamboo mats are too harsh. Then it's what they are now.

"Sister Lanxiang, is it really useful for you to practice like this?" The little servant girl asked.

Lanxiang did not directly answer, "girl like it, OK, you go down first."

The servant girl stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and left with a smile.

Lanxiang turns to Westinghouse and goes to serve Fu Rong.

Fu Rong saw her silly look, chuckled and asked in the mirror, "I think my legs look better than before, don't you think?"

Lanxiang blushed and nodded: "the girl's legs are good-looking originally. After the new year, she has grown a lot. Now it is thin and long. With time, she will not lose to Miss Liang." She knew that the girl had always admired Liang Yingfang's long legs.

Lanxiang is holding water to wipe her back, and an idea comes up uncontrollably in her heart. She remembers all the movements of the girl's leg training. It's better to start practicing a few times today, not to be as good-looking as the girl, but to have a little effect.

After a fragrant petal bath, Fu Rong was freshly dressed.

This time, she took out the jewelry that Liu Ruyi had given her and gave Lanxiang some of the best ones in front of her. After living in the capital for a month, Fu Rong had a chance to show off once only when Fu Ding got married. But on that day, everyone's attention was focused on the wedding, and sitting together would not stare at the jewelry of any girl. This birthday banquet of Princess Yongning is different. Princess Yongning was born in a noble family. She appeared late and left early. The ladies and girls had plenty of time to chat.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Fu Rong's eyes showed full confidence.

She wants to make Aunt Liu's Ruyi Zhai famous in the capital, and to fascinate the future emperor she may meet.

Princess Yongning and the late emperor were brothers of the same mother. At the age of marriage, the former Emperor and the late empress dowager selected Li Mu, the son of the Duke of Qing, who is now the Duke of Qing. Before Princess Yongning was married, Li Mu was ordered by his parents to send all the maids away. After Princess Yongning married, he wanted to take a concubine, but Princess Yongning could not tolerate a concubine. Even if Li Mu went out, Princess Yongning would send someone to watch him, and he was not allowed to pick flowers and make grass.

Li Mu couldn't like such a wife in any case, but who made his wife's family powerful? First of all, his brother supported him. When the late emperor went, any prince was the nephew of Princess Yongning. In this dynasty, filial piety was very important. Unless Princess Yongning made a big mistake, the emperor would have to respect his aunt.

Li Mu had to bear it in silence and gave birth to a son and two daughters with Princess Yongning. The two daughters have the ability. One becomes the favorite concubine of Jiahe emperor, and the other marries the Xindu king. On the contrary, the only son is the most unpopular. If he does not become a military officer, he has to rely on his family relationship to become an idle official. He idles around all day and plays with flowers.

Li Mu vaguely understood that emperor Jiahe preferred to see such a scene, so he stopped caring about his son and carefully raised his eldest grandson. As for his granddaughter Li Huarong, his wife was in charge. Anyway, his wife had no ability to raise his son, and his daughter's marriage was well arranged.

Princess Yongning really preferred the girl's family. When she was older, she was more pampered and spoiled her granddaughter. She helped her to ask for the title of princess.
