She had some interest in the palace before, but after entering the palace with Gu Xiyu last year, she felt that the farther away from this kind of place of right and wrong, the better.
Ye Qingning didn't know what Ye Qinglan was thinking, and wanted to take her with him: "Didn't you go there once before with cousin Xiyu? You know more about court etiquette than I do. When the time comes, I will have you with me.
I can feel more at ease.”
Ye Qinglan hesitated for a moment. It was a rare opportunity to go out, and being able to go to the palace to see the world was a good thing that ordinary people couldn't ask for. Ye Qingning insisted on taking her with him, just because he wanted her to broaden her horizons. It could also take the opportunity to improve her status in the palace in the future.
Among the sisters, I can also straighten my waist and be a good person. Such an offer is really hard to refuse...
Seeing that she was silent, Ye Qingning went to beg Mrs. Zheng again: "Mother, just agree! Otherwise, I will enter the palace alone without anyone to talk to, how uncomfortable it will be!"
Mrs. Zheng really relented. Her daughter was about to get married, and her days with her were becoming less and less. As long as it satisfied her and made her happy, she agreed to it: "It's okay, Sister Lan will go with her."
Ye Qingning's eyes lit up and he nodded happily.
Ye Qinglan hurriedly stepped forward to express her gratitude. She had been staying at the house for the past two months and was really bored. She might as well go out and relax tomorrow.
Mrs. Zheng said sternly: "Entering the palace is no different than anything else. You must be very particular about your clothes. Tomorrow the palace will send a nanny to dress you up. Don't get up late and come here early."
The two of them agreed in unison.
After returning to Hefengyuan, Ye Qinglan went to see Mrs. Xue and told Mrs. Xue that she would enter the palace with Ye Qingning tomorrow.
Mrs. Xue was shocked: "You mean, you are going to accompany Sister Ning to the palace to meet the imperial concubine tomorrow?"
Ye Qinglan nodded with a smile. Compared to her rosy complexion and happy mood, Xue's mood was not that good. Entering the palace was so honorable, and ordinary noble ladies were not so lucky. This stinky girl was lucky...
..
After Ye Qingfu learned about this, she felt envious, jealous and hateful. She ran to Mrs. Xue and cried and made trouble: "Why should she take all the good things? I have never been in the palace before!
No, I want to go too!"
Mrs.
Auntie agreed."
When she mentioned the solemn face of Mrs. Zheng, Ye Qingfu suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball. She burst into tears with grievance: "Mom, the eldest aunt is so partial. She only took the third sister with her. I am the serious one."
Miss, who is she? She is just a cheap girl born to a maid. Why is she so lucky to enter the palace?"
Mrs.
go."
After Ye Qingfu choked and walked away aggrievedly, Mrs. Xue frowned. Then she didn't know what she thought of, and a sneer flashed in her eyes.
Early the next morning, Ye Qinglan and Ye Qingning arrived at Luomei Courtyard early.
When she accompanied Gu Xiyu into the palace last year, Ye Qinglan had learned the palace rules for half a month, so she was very calm about entering the palace and was not nervous.
Although Ye Qingning felt a little uneasy, she was a well-bred noblewoman after all, and she showed herself to be calm and calm. The nuns who came to dress them up and explain the court etiquette were very satisfied with their performance.
Zheng was also secretly surprised in her heart. Ye Qingning's performance was expected by her, but Ye Qinglan's performance was very surprising. Her generous and indifferent expression was no less than that of Ye Qingning. With Xue's mind, how could she
Is it possible to raise such an outstanding concubine?
The example of Ye Qingfu is vividly placed there, which is enough to prove that Xue family has no way to teach his daughter. How did Ye Qinglan develop such a temperament?
After getting on the chariot, Mrs. Zheng quickly put this trivial question behind her and started chatting with the nuns in the palace with a smile. The two nuns were both useful to Concubine Zheng.
Concubine Zheng's biological sister naturally didn't dare to show off, but she had a very good conversation along the way.
Ye Qingning sat upright with a reserved look on her face. She looked like a noble lady. In fact, she was always nervous and apprehensive when entering the palace for the first time, but she suppressed it in her heart and did not show it.
Ye Qinglan quietly came closer, and quietly held Ye Qingning's hand through her wide sleeves. Ye Qingning was caught off guard and was startled at first. She reflexively turned her head and glanced at Ye Qinglan.
Ye Qinglan smiled slightly and comforted Ye Qingning with her eyes. Her hands secretly squeezed Ye Qingning's hand tightly.
Ye Qingning's tense mood indeed eased a lot, and neither of them let go of their hands until they entered the palace gate.
After getting off the carriage, following the mammies and palace maidens, they walked forward silently, after taking a few turns, they arrived at Concubine Zheng's bedroom. Compared with Empress Gu's Fengyi Palace, Concubine Zheng's bedroom was smaller, but it was
It is better than exquisite and beautiful.
Ye Qinglan lowered her head calmly and followed Ye Qingning into the main hall. She quietly noticed the furnishings inside with the corner of her eyes, and was secretly speechless.
Concubine Zheng was indeed very favored. Although the palace she lived in was slightly smaller than that of Empress Gu, the furnishings inside were almost the same.
Concubine Zheng was dressed in gorgeous palace clothes. She was sitting with a smile. After leading everyone in the ceremony, she immediately smiled and said: "Sit down quickly and talk. Sister Ning, sit closer so that I can take a good look."
Ye Qingning responded respectfully and sat next to Concubine Zheng. Her good upbringing and magnanimity were clearly revealed at this moment.
Concubine Zheng couldn't help but praise a few words: "In the blink of an eye, Sister Ning has grown so big. She has good looks and knows proper etiquette. She is really a blessing to the second sister."
Zheng was secretly pleased with herself in her heart, but she responded humbly: "The imperial concubine is so complimentary. Ning'er has been willful since she was a child. Fortunately, her brother and sister-in-law didn't dislike her and decided on this marriage. Otherwise, I would really be worried."
Concubine Zheng was amused and asked some trivial matters about the preparations for the wedding. Mrs. Zheng answered them one by one. Ye Qingning basically didn't need to speak, and Ye Qinglan naturally didn't need to open her mouth. She just sat silently aside and acted as the background.
In fact, Concubine Zheng didn't pay much attention to Ye Qinglan at all. She only asked her a question at the beginning. After learning that she was Ye Qingning's concubine cousin, she didn't look at her again.
After a while, the highlight of the day finally came.
Several palace maids moved lightly, each holding heavy brocade boxes and walked in in a row.
Concubine Zheng said with a smile: "Sister Ning is very happy. As my aunt, I have to express my feelings. These sets of headgear are considered to be the makeup for Sister Ning." Then she motioned to the maids to open the brocade box.
All kinds of exquisite and expensive jewelry sparkled, making people dazzled. Even Mrs. Zheng was secretly surprised by Concubine Zheng's generosity, and she hurriedly made a gesture to Ye Qingning.
Ye Qingning immediately stood up to thank him.
Mrs. Zheng smiled again and said: "The imperial concubine is so loving, it puts Sister Ning and I to shame." The two sisters were close before they left the cabinet, but one married into the Changyuan uncle's house and the other entered the palace, and they met and interacted with each other.
There are not many opportunities. No matter how deep the affection is, there is not much left. Concubine Zheng’s high-profile show of goodwill this time is really unpredictable.
Concubine Zheng smiled meaningfully: "In the future, Sister Ning will marry into the Duke Zheng's palace, and she will be my nephew-in-law. There will be many opportunities to come and go in the future, so there is no need to be so polite."
These words may sound normal at first, but upon closer inspection, they have an unspeakable meaning. Concubine Zheng is clearly hinting at something...
Zheng's eyes flashed slightly, and she immediately responded with a smile: "What the imperial concubine said is true. In less than a month, Ning'er will get married. From now on, she will be the grandson-in-law of Zheng Guogong's house. I will have free time in the future, the imperial concubine.
You might as well invite her to talk to you to relieve your boredom."
Concubine Zheng's behavior is clearly to win over Ye Qingning. It's no wonder that Ye Qingning is the grandson-in-law of Zheng Guogong's palace, and there will always be a day when she will take charge of the central government. Concubine Zheng and the third prince must rely on Zheng Guogong's palace, so naturally they must
Win people's hearts.
After thinking about this, Ms. Zheng felt relieved. The Duke of Zheng and the third prince, Concubine Zheng, had long been tied to the same boat. They both prospered and suffered losses. Even if Concubine Zheng did not do these things, she would still tell Ye Qingning to get closer to her in the future.
Concubine Zheng.
Mrs. Zheng and Concubine Zheng exchanged knowing smiles, and started chatting quietly. It all sounded like commonplace talk, but there was something else hidden in it.
Although Ye Qingning was smart, he had insufficient experience, so he didn't hear anything for a while.
Ye Qinglan heard some clues, and secretly moved in her heart, guessing the deep meaning behind Zheng Guifei's actions. After thinking about it more deeply, she suddenly felt that something was not good.
The prince and the third prince were fighting openly and secretly, and the Dingguo Palace and Zheng Guogong Palace were naturally at odds with each other. In a few days, Ye Qingning would marry to Zheng Guogong Palace. What if one day, he married Gu Xinian... wouldn't it be a bit embarrassing?
Although women at home can still come and go regardless of court matters, such a clear distinction between camps is really a headache...
Ye Qinglan thought wildly for a moment and felt her head was pounding. She decisively decided to put this painful problem aside for now. There were many problems between her and Gu Xinian, and it was not certain whether the marriage would happen. It was too early to consider this.
!If such an embarrassing situation happens accidentally in the future, try to find a way to deal with it.
While they were talking, a palace maid walked into the palace and reported: "Your Majesty, the Third Prince is here."
Concubine Zheng was also a little surprised and stood up with a smile to greet her. As soon as she stood up, Zheng and others naturally had to stand up too.
The majestic third prince entered the side hall proudly. Mrs. Zheng hurriedly led Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan to salute the third prince. The third prince, who was originally sullen and unhappy, could only squeeze out a smile and called out gently: "Auntie
,cousin".
Concubine Zheng sensitively noticed that something was wrong with his expression. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
