I had just taken a nap, but I still felt lazy. Swallowing novels www. Jin Xi took the palace maids Pin'er, Pei'er, Jingqing, and Juqing to help me get dressed and get up. The four of them are not very old, Pin

Er Pei'er looks like she is fourteen or fifteen, Jingqing and Juqing are older, they are eighteen, and they are learning the rules and serving their master from Jin Xi, and they are also very smart.

Just after I finished dressing, the eunuch Xiao Yinzi announced outside the door that Mei Shi and Chun Chang were coming to see me.

Shi Meiren has a slender figure and is very pretty, especially her nose, which is very beautiful. But the look between her eyebrows is a little lonely. I guess her life in the palace was not easy, but she was very polite to me, and even...

It was a bit flattering. Chun Chang was still young, only thirteen years old, petite and innocent, with a childish look on his face. Everyone greeted him very politely and sat down to drink tea.

Although Mrs. Shi's position was lower than mine, she was still older than me and entered the palace early. I was very courteous to her, calling her "Sister Shi" over and over again, and asked people to bring snacks to sit and eat together. Chun

Chang was young, had just entered the palace, and was still timid, so he asked her to give her fresh milk tea, and also brought her sugar packets, sugar cakes, fried dumplings, cakes, hibiscus cakes and other good-looking sweets.

She. She was really happy. After a while, she already called me "Sister Wan" very affectionately.

I really like her, and I feel very warm when I think of Yuyao and Yurao at home. When they stood up to leave, I specially asked Pin'er to bring her a bag of cakes.

Seeing them go back to their bedrooms, I said to Jinxi calmly: "Meimei Shi is indeed beautiful."

She was slightly stunned and immediately realized. She quickly glanced around and saw no one, so she approached me and said, "Hua Fei is both talented and beautiful, and she is the most favored harem." I secretly praised her in my heart.

She was cautious in her words and deeds. Although this sentence seemed to be misleading, I already knew in my heart that Mei Shi was indeed no longer favored.

No wonder she looked at me with a strange look just now, with jealousy mixed with hope, and her tone was very humble. Mostly she hoped that after I was favored, she could get some favor from you by living in the same palace with me. I shook my head slightly,

I just feel sorry for her and don't want to think about her anymore.

Eating dinner alone, I saw Jin Xi leading Liu Zhu Huanbi and standing aside with their hands down. Although there were a group of palace maids and guards standing outside the door, there was no sound, not even the heavier breathing. Secretly, the rules in the palace were strict.

, unusual and comparable.

After the meal, a little palace maid brought tea on a small black lacquer tea tray. Aunt Fangruo once said that the first cup of tea served in the palace after the meal was for gargling the mouth, to relieve the greasy mouth after the meal. Sure enough, there was another cup of tea.

He held the basin for me to rinse my mouth, and then offered me some tea. I took a sip and said with a smile, "Don't take away the food yet. Don't just stand and eat with these dishes."

Don't starve yourself to serve me."

Several people were busy thanking each other and taking the food to eat.

I walked into the warm pavilion and rested crookedly. I looked at the azure flower-strewn chair on the opposite chair. I felt confused and confused, as if the chair was embroidered with endless patterns.

A night of silence.

The next day I got up, washed up, and had breakfast. Kang Luhai, who was outside the door, reported in a high-pitched voice that Jiang Fuhai, the servant of the Huangmen, had come to deliver the order. I got up in a hurry and went to Yingxintang to receive the order. I knew that the servant of the Huangmen was here.

He is an internal eunuch who specializes in serving the queen, so he must have received an order.

He knelt down respectfully and listened to Yi's order: "According to the Queen's decree, it is reported that the newly promoted concubines will go to the Zhaoyang Hall of Fengyi Palace to see the Queen and the harem concubines at Mao hour three days later."

Aunt Fangruo said that only after meeting the concubine can she make arrangements for the concubine to sleep. These three days were meant to allow the new concubine to adapt to daily life in the palace.

I quickly accepted the order and ordered Jinxi to send it out safely.

The Huangmen chamberlain had just left and reported that Concubine Hua had received a reward.

The chief eunuch of Concubine Hua, Zhou Ninghai, came forward to salute her. He waved his hand and ordered the eunuch behind him to carry three large boxes of gifts. He said to me with a smile: "Concubine Hua specially ordered my servants to give these gifts to the eunuch.

host."

I said with a smile on my face: "Thank you very much for your kindness. Please convey my concubine's thanks to my father-in-law. Father-in-law, please have a cup of tea and rest before leaving."

Zhou Ninghai bowed and said: "I will definitely convey this to you. I have to rush to other young masters. I really don't have the time to live up to Wan Gui's kindness."

I glanced at Huanbi, and she immediately took out two ingots and presented them to me. I smiled and said, "Thank you, father-in-law. Then I won't delay my father-in-law's business." Zhou Ninghai lowered his eyes slightly and hurriedly put them into his sleeves with a smile.

Resign.

Pin'er and Pei'er opened the box, and the box was full of gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin. Pin'er said happily: "Congratulations, little master. Master Hua is very fond of my little master." I glanced at the others, my face

The emperor was also very happy and ordered the internal prison guard to carry it to the warehouse for registration.

Seeing that everyone was leaving, Liu Zhu followed up and said, "I just asked about it. Except for the young master of Meizhuang, who is almost the same as the young lady, there are no other young masters who have such generous rewards."

The smile at the corner of my mouth gradually faded. Liu Zhu looked at my face and whispered, "I am afraid that Concubine Hua is giving me such a generous reward to win over the young master of Meizhuang and you."

I looked at the thick tissue paper on the vermilion window lattice and said solemnly: "It's too early to say whether this is what it means."

As soon as Concubine Hua's reward arrived, the rewards for Concubine Li Gui and Cao Ronghua arrived soon after. I already learned from Jin Xi that Concubine Li Gui and Cao Ronghua were Concubine Hua's confidants. They were carefully cultivated and promoted by Concubine Hua, and they were also promoted by the emperor.

A bit doted on. Although she cannot be compared with Concubine Hua, she is much better than other concubines.

Rewards from other concubines were also sent in a steady stream, and the whole morning was busy with traffic and crowded.

After waiting until noon, I felt tired. I only asked Jinxi, Liuzhu and Huanbi to receive the gifts in the main room, while I read under the window of the second room of Nuange in my home clothes. After watching for a while, I saw that the sunlight was gradually dimming.

Going down, the golden and red mottled light and shadow were cast on the plum blossom and vermilion lacquered small table, and people were a little lazy. Suddenly I heard the announcement outside the door that Shen Xiaoyi was coming to see me. I felt happy immediately, put down the book and stood up to greet me. Then I walked to the west main room.

Mei Zhuang walked in with a smile on her face and said, "My sister is so laid-back."

I smiled and said, "How can a person who has just entered the palace have anything to do?" I pretended to be angry and said, "Sister Mei didn't come to see me early, which made me feel bored!"

Meizhuang said with a smile: "Are you still bored? I'm afraid you are too soft to accept rewards."

My smile faded, and when I saw that Meizhuang's personal maid Caiyue was the only one around me, I said, "Don't you know, sister, that I don't want these things to happen?"

Meizhuang took my hand and sat down, and just then said in a low voice: "I have received a lot of rewards, which is a good thing. But I am afraid that it will be too ostentatious and attract the attention of other newly promoted concubines."

I sighed slightly: "I know. I am the only one who can take care of myself."

After chatting for a while, Kang Luhai came in and asked: "The dinner has been prepared. Would you like me to use it now or pass it on later?"

I said: "Pass it on immediately, it will be hot. I will use it with Master Xiaoyi."

Meizhuang said with a smile: "I came to see you and disturbed your meal."

I looked at her and said, "It's fun for my sister to eat with me. I can see that my sister can eat one more bowl of rice."

Meizhuang asked curiously: "What do you mean?"

I blinked my eyes and imitated Master Xi, stroking my beard and saying, "Don't you hear that the ancients said, 'beautiful beauty is worth eating'?"

Meizhuang smiled and spat at me: "You don't look like a lady at all!"

After dinner, Meizhuang and I sat together under the lamp and watched the embroidery work.

When she looked up, she saw An Lingrong standing under the blue gauze cabinet with a smile. She was pleasantly surprised and quickly invited her to sit down with her. She also blamed the internal prison guards outside for not informing them. Lingrong was slightly embarrassed and said, "Sister Wan, don't blame them.

I didn't let them pass it on. I wanted to surprise my sister, but instead it made her angry. It's Lingrong's fault."

I hurriedly smiled and said: "What's your fault? You meant well. I just said it to them in vain, don't worry."

Lingrong smiled and sat down together. She said to Meizhuang: "I just went to Chang'an Palace to see my sister. I wanted to come with my sister to visit my sister Wan. Unexpectedly, the maid of my sister's Cunju Hall said that my sister came here first.

But my sister is a step too late."

Meizhuang smiled and said, "It's not too late. We just want to watch the embroidery together. Sister Huan is very skillful." I blushed slightly and refused to answer her words.

Huanbi poured tea and said, "Waiter Anxuan, please have some tea. Huanbi knew that Waiter Xuan didn't like drinking Liu'an tea, so he specially changed it to fragrant tablets."

Lingrong smiled and said, "Thank you for taking the trouble to remember."

Huanbi Fu said: "The young master Lingrong and the young master Meizhuang are as close as sisters to my young lady. How dare I not be careful?"

Mei Zhuang laughed: "What a clever mouth! It turns out that the people around you are like their masters and their servants."

My face became even redder: "Sister Mei always likes to make fun of me. How can she be so smart? It's just that she has served me for a long time and has a better memory than others."

Meizhuang said: "Of course the maid who has served us since childhood is more considerate." He then asked Lingrong: "You didn't bring your personal maid in. How many maids are there to serve you now? Are they good at serving you?"

Lingrong replied: "It's okay, it's okay. There are four, but two are only twelve years old. I can't expect them to do anything. Fortunately, it's very easy for me, and that's enough."

I frowned: "How can we have enough manpower for this? It's not easy to take them out!"

He called Jin Xi who was outside the house to come in and said: "First go and report to the Queen, and then point out one of my 18-year-old maids to serve An Xuan."

Jin Xi agreed, and came back after some time: "My servant pointed at Ju Qing. She once worked as a servant in the Sizhi Treasury, and she is quite stable."

I nodded, let her go down, and said to Lingrong: "Let her go back with you later. If you have any shortcomings, please tell me and Sister Mei."

Meizhuang nodded and said: "What's ours will be yours too, don't worry. I got some new rewards today, and there are some pieces of satin that are just right for you. I'll send someone to you to Mingseju later."

Lingrong was very grateful: "Lingrong can only appreciate the friendship between sisters."

I said, "What's the point? It's our duty as sisters and you to take care of each other in this palace."

The three of us looked at each other and smiled, understanding each other's thoughts, and our six hands were tightly clasped together.

Three days later, at the fourth watch, I got up from bed, took a bath, changed clothes, and dressed up. This was the first time I met the concubines in the harem after entering the palace, which was no small matter. The servants in the first palace were a little nervous, and they had to be extra careful and considerate.

Liu Zhu Huanbi quickly put on the rouge and gouache for me. Pei'er held a plate of jewelry aside and said, "It's my first time to meet the Queen. My young master, I have to dress up more grandly so that I can be the most beautiful." Liu Zhu turned around silently.

Looking at her, she immediately lowered her head and did not dare to say anything more.

I smoothly pushed my hair to the back of my head and said calmly: "Just do it in a high bun." This is the most common bun in the palace. Pei'er brought up the jewelry, and I picked a pair of tortoise shells and made them into chrysanthemums.

The hairpin is suitable for the season and the color is simple and elegant. Pin a small silver and gold-plated grass insect head behind the bun. 1. Choose a light red flowing color dark flower cloud brocade palace dress and put it on. The color is festive but not outstanding, no matter what

I can't fault it. I know that I have already taken the advantage among the newly promoted concubines to attract attention. This time Concubine Hua is here again. It really shouldn't attract too much attention. The more low-key and humble the better. Jin Xi comes in to see me.

I dressed up like this and smiled knowingly at me. I knew that she approved of my dress very much and her intelligence was far superior to others. I had the intention to praise Jinxi, but I had only been with her for a short time and didn’t know the basics yet, so I didn’t dare to trust her rashly.

to reuse.

The palace sedan was already waiting at the door, and Chun Changzai had also dressed up and was waiting for me. The two of them got on the sedan, and Kang Luhai and Jin Xi followed behind the sedan. After a while, they heard something outside the sedan.
