Before leaving, Grandma Jin repeatedly checked with Ruan Yuyi to see if what she had learned before had been kept in mind.
Seeing her nodding obediently, Aunt Jin told her some of the rules in the palace and gave her a few words of advice.
"After you enter the palace, talented person, try to be careful with Concubine Shu and don't provoke her." She looked around and lowered her voice.
In her mouth, Concubine Shu was the daughter of the Minister of War. After Rong Shangshu expressed his loyalty to the new emperor, he sent his beloved daughter to the deep palace. The new emperor may also have the intention of stabilizing people's hearts, so he
Leave people behind.
The Zhongding House in Rong Mansion has a prosperous family, and the backyard is as deep as the ocean. How could Concubine Shu, who grew up in such an environment, be a simple-minded person.
Aunt Jin knew that she shouldn't tell her this. If word spread, she could easily be accused of being the master of the arrangement. But some rules were secretly followed, and some palace people who were unwilling to do so would love to arrange and spread rumors about the palace.
The master in.
She said it in a vague way, which made it seem like it was nothing.
After getting along with this Ruan Cairen these days, my initial impression of her being arrogant and arrogant has been completely shattered. The young lady has a clear mind but a pure nature. Whoever sees her will inevitably be happy, so she talks too much and quietly gives some advice.
One sentence.
Ruan Yuyi knew nothing about the situation in the palace, so she agreed to everything her grandmother said. As for how much to believe and how to weigh it, that was another matter.
She turned her head and saw that the previous maids were sweeping the courtyard as usual, and asked suspiciously, "Don't they need to go back to the palace?"
Aunt Jin glanced at them and sneered coldly, "You can go back, but when you get old, you can leave the palace and get married.
"But who told them to covet the master's property? The palace cannot tolerate maids with unclean hands and feet, so His Majesty ordered them to stay here only from now on."
Those who work in the palace don't have some small calculations, but it is strange that they knock the calculations so loudly that the master's face is ruined, and they are not punished.
Ruan Cairen stayed at home and didn't know about it. But it doesn't mean that His Majesty has no eyes and ears in the courtyard. Cai Ren is still the master after all, and he showed his contempt openly. Even if Cai Ren doesn't care about them, there is no guarantee that Your Majesty will not be angry.
.
The bright red sedan carriage marched all the way to the imperial city, and people in the street market all moved out of the way. It also attracted curious women and children on the street to peek in. Some children followed halfway, but were sent back by the accompanying palace officials.
There was a lot of noise around her. Ruan Yuyi lowered her head and tightened her skirt to suppress her uneasiness.
She always felt that such a momentum was too loud.
Except for the routine inspection by guards in front of the imperial city gate, her sedan chair was traveling smoothly. After an unknown period of time, the sedan chair swayed slightly and became lowered.
The gauze curtain was opened, revealing Mu Xiang's face, and she said, "Little Master, we are here."
Ruan Yuyi took her hand and got out of the sedan chair with her skirt in hand.
What is in front of you is a palace with red walls and black tiles. There are two stone lions guarding the main entrance. On the door is a plaque with the words "Luomei Pavilion" written on it. And above the top of the wall, there are slender branches sticking out, but it is not winter yet.
Withered.
In front of the palace, there was already a palace maid in a lotus-colored coat waiting for her. Now she hurriedly came up to greet her and said, "I have met Ruan Cairen."
She nodded slightly and was led in by the maid. Originally, according to etiquette, there should be five maids and four eunuchs in her palace. Since she brought two of her own, the number of maids was reduced to
Three people. But after all, there are many more people around than in the Cheng family.
She named a few people according to the poems and sent them down to do their own things. Although before she took over Luo Mei Xuan, there were people cleaning and tidying up, but as soon as she arrived, there were new things to look for.
Placement.
She casually adjusted the celadon vase on the Bogu shelf, and heard Mu Xiang behind her say, "Although this place is not big, it is still close to the Yangxin Hall."
"I'd rather stay away." She looked a little dazed and sighed. She didn't know whether His Majesty's explicit treatment of special treatment was a good or bad thing.
She has no intention of fighting with others, nor does she want to get into a cruel fight. For her, this is the best way to protect herself. This move by the new emperor pushed her to a higher place. If she was not careful,
It means being shattered into pieces.
Not long after the group rested, someone from the palace came to report that a reward from His Majesty had arrived.
These days, he has sent her many things, most of which are items from his daughter's house. Maybe the harem is sparsely populated, so there is plenty of money.
She didn't pay much attention and just told him to let it go.
The eunuch glanced at her quietly, hesitated, and said, "Your Majesty, you have to open it and see it yourself."
This Ruan Cai man was quite different from what he imagined.
She has a meandering and charming face, dressed in a peach red palace dress with dark flowers, and her hair is made of glazed hair, which seems to be filled with the light of the day. She stretches her eyebrows and looks kind-hearted and easy to bully.
His Majesty rarely takes wives and concubines, so the whole palace was shocked when he received this gift from this talented man. However, in these days, no one serving in the palace had ever really seen this talented man.
There are rumors that His Majesty was so fond of this girl that he directly placed her in his palace. Some even said that this girl was a monster in the forest and had her own magic that would not be seen by ordinary people. In short, the rumors became more and more bizarre.
But all the rumors came to an abrupt end when the sedan chair entered the palace. Many people breathed a sigh of relief and had a good sleep. It turned out that His Majesty kept the people outside, so no one was seen.
The eunuch lowered his eyes and saw that her face was so bright that no one dared to look at it for a long time.
Ruan Yuyi was suspicious. She really couldn't think of anything that she should open and look at first, so she waved to him to bring it up. It was a box with a pear wood lock and a gold lock, only the size of two palms.
She opened the cover, and inside was light pink gauze, which seemed to be a kerchief, but was not made of kerchief material.
She shook it open and looked at it. When she saw the shape of the thing, her face suddenly turned hot. Then she hurriedly stuffed the thing back and closed the lid.
This garment is said to be a small garment, and the embroidery decoration is a bit complicated. If it is worn outside, it will not be used to cover the body. He did not ask her to check whether the things were damaged, but he clearly meant to let others see it.
Mu Xiang Mu Ling's attendant stood on one side. She was a girl who had not yet left the pavilion. Her face was flushed with embarrassment and she turned away, pretending she had not seen her.
When the eunuch raised his eyes, he handed the wooden box forward and asked tentatively, "My lord, what's wrong with the things?" Muxiang finally reacted and took the box.
Ruan Yuyi touched her earlobe and felt that it was very hot. She pulled her lips into a smile and said, "There is nothing wrong. I'm sorry to bother you, father-in-law."
The little eunuch took the purse handed over by Mu Ling and stepped back with a smile on his face.
Mu Xiang pursed her lips and said, "Miss, this wooden box -"
"Just put it in the inner room." She said softly.
She knew that this thing was not sent to her for collection, but that he wanted her to wear it. She didn't want to think too much about it, she just hoped that he wouldn't summon her at night.
The birds outside are still chirping enthusiastically.
She found something to do for herself, hoping that she could forget about the clothes for a while.
