As soon as she finished speaking, the Queen Mother immediately said: "Does it really have such a curative effect? The Ai family has been suffering from headaches recently, and the imperial doctor has been checking it for many days, but there is still no progress. If this really has such a curative effect, then it is
Very good."
Seeing the Queen Mother being so happy, Mu Lianlong took this opportunity to ask: "Does the Queen Mother like this? If so, then I will keep her?"
The Queen Mother glanced at Xia Ziying and said calmly, "Your Majesty, you make your own decision. As I said, the Ai family is here to see you today, and I am not here to make a decision for you. After all, you are the one who chooses the concubine, and you must like it."
Yes."
After hearing this, Mu Lianlong felt happy in his heart and said: "Well, I happen to have a little pain in my body recently, so I'll stay here. If I have a chance, I'll jump with you and stretch my muscles. That's how my body will heal."
It can get better." When she said this, Xia Ziying quickly knelt down and kowtowed and said, "My little lady has thanked the emperor and Tai for his kindness."
Mu Lianlong pretended to be very calm and said: "Get up, then I will canonize you as Concubine Xia. If you have time in the future, teach the Queen Mother to practice more. She is weak. If you can meet the Queen Mother,
If your body becomes better, I will never let you down and will give you more."
Xia Ziying nodded happily. She was about to go down and take the flower boat to leave. But at this moment, Xiao Ling shouted from behind, "Concubine Xia, please stay."
Xiao Ling walked over as she said that. Xia Ziying thought for a moment and felt that her performance was flawless. How could she be discovered by others?
"Concubine Xiao, do you have anything else to do with me?" Xia Ziying asked timidly.
Concubine Xiao smiled slightly, then stretched out her hand, handed a silk handkerchief to her hand, and said: "This is a gift from me to you. After all, we will be sisters from now on. If anything happens, just come to me, sister."
As long as I can help you, sister will never shirk it." After saying that, she stuffed the silk handkerchief into Xia Ziying's palm.
"Then thank you, Concubine Xiao." Xia Ziying took the silk handkerchief and then boarded the flower boat with confidence. Before leaving, Huanwang smiled at Mu Lianlong. Then she got on the flower boat.
, rowed to the other side, got into bed, and left the small pavilion in the middle of the lake. Then he took a deep breath. It really scared him to death. So many questions, so many doubts, it was like torture.
Yes, I finally made a successful breakthrough. After returning to the flower boat, I calmed down.
Seeing this, the little eunuch asked: "Concubine Xia, congratulations to you. You are the fourth show girl to pass. This time the emperor only plans to admit five concubines, and you are one of them. It is really gratifying and congratulatory.
of."
Hearing what the little eunuch said, Xia Ziying just smiled slightly and said: "Haha, what's there to be happy about? It's just to serve the emperor well. We concubines who enter the palace have been looking at the emperor longingly for a day.
I came to my side. I was looking forward to it, but who knows what year and month it will be until the emperor returns. Such a life seems very beautiful, but who can understand the sadness in it."
Xia Ziying's words were quite novel. No one of the previous concubines dared to say such words, but now she actually said them in front of her, which really surprised the little eunuch.
While talking, they had already arrived at the lake. Du Jun had already been waiting here. When he saw Xia Ziying arriving, he ran over and asked hurriedly: "How is it, how is it?"
Xia Ziying looked very confident, "Haha, I'm going to do it myself, so what's the problem? I'm Concubine Xia now. Shouldn't you express something when you see Concubine Xia?"
Du Jun was stunned for a moment, "I am here to see Concubine Xia!" After saying that, he knelt down and saluted Xia Ziying.
Xia Ziying was startled. She was just joking. She didn't expect that he was actually serious. She was startled and said hurriedly: "Get up, don't be like this. How can I bear it?"
He helped Du Jun up.
Although Du Jun was a little embarrassed, he still said: "Congratulations, you finally got what you wanted, and you can stay with the emperor forever." As he said that, the look on Du Jun's face looked very strange.
"We are all our own people. It's not like you don't know why, so don't say that again. It shows how different we are from each other." Xia Ziying said with a forced smile.
Du Jun stopped talking. Indeed, Xia Ziying was right. He knew everything about it. Why did he need to be so polite? It was expected that she would become Concubine Xia. Isn't she the one?
Have you been working hard for her to become the imperial concubine? Du Jun smiled bitterly. As a minister, he should try his best to meet the tasks assigned by the emperor. That's all. What else is there to hope for? Do what a minister should do.
Things are already fine.
Xia Ziying then followed the eunuch to the dormitory assigned to her. When she first arrived at the dormitory, she saw three large gilt characters carved on the lintel: Yongxi Palace.
Looking at the arrangement inside the palace, it was considered a very good dormitory. The eunuch led her to the door and went inside. It was about the size of a basketball court. The layout inside was very orderly and antique.
, the screen is in the middle, with the bed behind it, and there is a bead curtain in front of the bed. There is a desk on one side, and the bookshelf behind is filled with all kinds of books. It seems that there used to be a man who was good at writing and writing.
woman.
Finally, the eunuch told her that this place used to be the palace of the late Emperor's most favored concubine, the Dancer. The Dancer was proficient in dancing and her writing skills were at the pinnacle, so much so that the Dancer's calligraphy was collected by many literati around the world.
Some people even copied the handwriting of the dancing concubine. There was a big craze at that time. But after all, God is not good. The better the thing, the closer it is to the date of death.
When the late emperor and the dancing concubine were loving each other, suddenly one day, the dancing concubine's body convulsed, and finally turned into a pool of blood, and disappeared in front of the late emperor. Later, everything
Everyone in the palace sealed the matter and did not allow it to be mentioned to outsiders. Today, because Xia Ziying moved into the palace, the eunuch couldn't help but tell her about the matter.
I thought Xia Ziying would be scared, but when she heard this, she actually laughed and said: "Things in this world are all kinds of strange, and there are all kinds of things happening. We are just one of them, so there is no need to be surprised.
It’s just that there are ways to explain things that we can’t figure out.”
The eunuch continued: "At that time, some people also speculated that someone had used witchcraft. After all, the dancing concubine alone was able to win over the late emperor. No other concubine could touch him at all. Everyone held a grudge.
This idea was born, and when I think about it, I feel that it is probably true. After all, the witchcraft in the Western Regions is quite powerful, you can’t believe it!”
Xia Ziying also nodded. Yes, it is normal for a person to have too much, and he will arouse the jealousy of others. It is also normal for him to be jealous and framed by others. He just doesn't know what his future destiny will be.
, a lesson learned from the past, I should be more careful.
After the eunuch sent her to her, he left. The eunuch who taught her court etiquette was sent here within a short while. Everyone congratulated Xia Ziying for finally taking the position of Concubine Xia, and they were happy from the bottom of their hearts.
, after all, they also have a part in it.
Xia Ziying was also very touched. They taught her so many things and have been patiently guiding her to achieve what she has achieved today. She said some words of thanks. These slaves and maids were flattered, and they had never been there before.
A master treated his servants in this way, and he suddenly became frightened and uneasy.
Only then did Xia Ziying realize that ancient people were different from modern people like herself. They thought in their hearts that this was what they should do. There was no need to be thanked or thanked. It seemed a bit abrupt to do so.
.
Thinking of this, I stopped thanking them and just be nicer to them in the future.
Everyone started to pack up the things in the house and clean them. In a short while, they were all cleaned up, giving people a very warm feeling. They immediately felt that this place was full of people, and they looked busy.
The bustling crowd inevitably made me feel a little emotional.
In the evening, Mu Lianlong led people to Yongxi Palace. After arriving at the dormitory, he scanned it for a while and said, "It looks pretty good. How is it? Are you still getting used to it?"
Xia Ziying said nervously: "I don't have many requirements. How can I not get used to living in such a big palace by myself? I feel a little uncomfortable living in such a big palace. Can I change it to a smaller one?"
Hearing Xia Ziying speak like this, Mu Lianlong wanted to laugh. The concubines in the palace were competing to see who lived in a bigger palace. This was good. This silly girl actually disliked that her palace was a bit big and insisted on a smaller one.
of.
Mu Lianlong said with a bad smile: "You, just live there. Besides, you don't live here alone. This is my and your love nest. How can you live alone?"
When she said this, Xia Ziying's face turned as red as a ripe red apple, with a charming blush and a delicate look. This made Mu Lianlong very puzzled. When she was in the Royal Garden today,
How could she act so free and easy? Now that she was back in his arms, she immediately turned into a little woman. It's really hard to fathom.
"Okay, I have good news for you. I have brought you someone. If you meet him, you will definitely be very happy." After that, Mu Lianlong said towards the outside: "Come in!" As soon as he finished speaking
, then I saw a person stepping in from the dark outside.
