Cen Yunchu was registered as Zhaoyi, and he was only one title short of being a concubine.
There are those who are envious, there are those who are jealous, and there are not a few who fawn over her.
The queen added icing on the cake and said she wanted to celebrate Cen Yunchu.
A theater troupe was invited from outside the palace and everyone was invited to listen to the opera in the Miaoyin Pavilion.
"It's such a hot day, who has the patience to listen!" Feng Zhaoyi was very indignant.
It took her many years to enter the palace before she could reach the position of Zhaoyi. Cen Yunchu had already become her equal even after half a year of entering the palace.
"Don't go," Cui Ruifei sneered, "be careful if people find fault with you."
"What's wrong with me? I'm sick, do I still have to go to the theater? If I become Zhaoyi, I'm so frivolous!" Feng Zhaoyi snorted angrily.
"They don't say what you did to her, they just say that this show was organized by the Queen.
If you don't listen, you are being disrespectful to the queen. Can you afford it?" Cui Ruifei has been speaking extraordinarily slowly recently, but she is calmer than usual.
"Oh, if that's the case, she is really capable of pretending to be powerful." Han Zhaoyi said with some fear.
"Look! There's going to be a good show!" Cui Ruifei said with a cold smile, "I was still restrained in the first few months after entering the palace! Now my teeth, claws, and tail are all exposed.
Coming."
Shui Zhaoyi passed by from a distance, and the palace maid who followed her whispered: "Empress, Concubine Rui and the others are over there. Why don't we go and see them?"
"What's there to see? We're not from the same group, so don't get involved together." Shui Zhaoyi didn't even look over there.
She is an anomaly in this palace and has never formed a clique with anyone.
People don't mess with her easily. Firstly, she doesn't have too many interests entangled with others. Secondly, she likes to be direct, and others often end up with nothing to say after just a few words with her.
"Those empresses must be talking about Empress Cen." The palace maid said when she saw no one around.
"What's the use of talking about it? Can they say ten words to dislodge someone from Zhaoyi's position?" Shui Zhaoyi was very disdainful, "In my opinion, Cen Yunchu is better than them. It's just a bunch of jealous crows.
Pigeons are just white.
Don’t even think about it, it’s not up to you to be favored or not, it all depends on the emperor’s will.”
Shui Zhaoyi had a good impression of Cen Yunchu. That day at the farewell party, what was on the table in front of her was the flavor of her hometown.
She couldn't help crying after taking one bite of that milk fan cake.
Although her father and brother would send special people to Beijing to pay tribute every year, the emperor would also reward her with many of those things.
But this time it was different after all, it was an accident and a surprise.
Moreover, the cake was roasted over a fire before being served. It was sweet, soft, and not to mention delicious.
Cen Yun was also a good dancer at first, and Shui Zhaoyi, as a woman, was fascinated by her dancing.
What man wouldn’t love such a wonderful person?
Although many people didn't want to go to the theater, they all went in the end.
Only the Queen did not go, which is not surprising. The Queen has always disliked such excitement.
However, two people have recently come to the palace, one is the queen's niece Ye Yinglan, and the other is Cui Ruifei's niece Sun Mo'er.
Both of them are good-looking and young, only sixteen or seventeen years old.
It is not uncommon for unmarried women to enter the palace, but only concubines with high status can do so.
For those with low status, don’t even think about it.
"Can you see what it means?" Song Meiren asked Jiao Meiren.
"You mean those two people?" The charming beauty looked at Ye Youlan and Sun Mo'er.
"That's right." Song Meiren nodded.
"Could it be that you want to compete for favor?" Beauty Jiao's voice could not be lower.
"You forgot about the word "can't"," Song Meiren said, "otherwise, why would you come here with two words at once? They are all age-appropriate."
Now Cen Yunchu is considered the youngest, and they think that the emperor probably likes young people.
But if the person you find is not as good as Cen Yunchu, then you may lose before the competition.
Secondly, if you are not close to yourself, you are afraid that the one you bring in will be a white-eyed wolf.
"This is such a stupid idea!" Shui Zhaoyi looked at the two young girls, "So what if we can share favors? How much family affection can there be in the royal family? Let alone aunts and nephews. When it comes to fighting,
There will definitely be a fight to the death."
Cen Yunchu also came. As soon as she arrived, many people gathered around her, but only a few people did not move.
Gao Huifei, Cui Ruifei, Feng Zhaoyi, and Shui Zhaoyi.
Cen Yunchu didn't care and said to everyone: "The Queen just asked me to go over and say a few words, so I'm here now."
After he sat down, he said, "Have you ordered a show? Now that you have ordered it, let them pretend to act!"
The emperor is busy today and cannot be present, so for everyone, he is still relaxed.
It just couldn't help but disappoint the two young women.
However, these two little girls were very ambitious. They deliberately sat next to Cen Yunchu and tried their best to curry favor with her.
Cen Yunchu just pretended not to notice, with a slight smile on his face, and dealt with them with ease.
"Cen Zhaoyi, I heard that you have a lot of books there. I wonder if I can borrow them for you to read?" Ye Youlan looked like a little daughter, looking at Cen Yunchu as if she were the person she admired the most.
"There's me, there's me. If Cen Zhaoyi doesn't think I'm stupid, I'd like to be bold and ask you for advice on chess skills." Sun Mo'er's attitude was also very low.
Because she knows that she is not as good as Ye Yinglan.
"You can't read books unless you borrow them. Borrowing books is an elegant thing, so why not? It's just that I don't like to think much lately, so I don't play chess that much," Cen Yunchu said.
"Then I'll go borrow books with Sister Ying, and we'll all act like they're arty." Sun Mo'er looked innocent.
"Okay." Cen Yunchu nodded.
The play had begun and everyone stopped talking.
It's not like there are no opera singers in the palace, but once you're used to it, it won't feel new to you.
The people invited in from outside are also among the best in the capital, and performing for all the empresses has made them even more energetic.
"We just ordered two. Sister Yun, please order one too!" Gao Huifei said.
"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders." The little eunuch brought the play to Cen Yunchu, but she didn't even look at it. She just said, "Ask their class leader, if he knows martial arts?"
The little eunuch hurriedly went to ask, and came back and said: "They all know a few things, but they only bring two sets of clothes for the martial arts dramas when they go to the palace for many literary plays."
"In that case, let's press these two sets of eyes!" Cen Yunchu said.
"Why do you like watching these people fighting and killing each other?"
The concubines in the palace were of high background, and they often went to the theater when they were at home.
However, martial arts dramas are only watched by men, but not by women.
Cen Yunchu doesn't care about other people's opinions. She knows that the more ignorant a person is, the more rules and regulations they have.
