The person who came was none other than Jiang Heqing, the chief eunuch around the imperial concubine, whom Lin Wanyi had met once when she was at home.
That time he was ordered to bring the fine wine from the Western Regions given by the imperial concubine. He was a man who knew how to talk and talk sweetly.
"My young master has finally entered the palace. Your Majesty has been looking forward to your coming for a long time."
As expected, everyone said that you should never hit someone with a smiling face, not to mention that in the palace, Eunuch Jiang was very capable, but when faced with the promise of Lin Wanyi, who had just entered the palace, he was still as polite as ever.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have long wanted to pay my respects to Your Majesty."
"After all, we are sisters from the same family. We want to go somewhere. My Majesty ordered me to invite you to come over and talk."
"That's very good. Please ask Eunuch Jiang to lead the way."
The attitude of neither being humble nor arrogant made Jiang Heqing remember the second lady of the prime minister's house in his mind.
I saw that she was wearing a snow-green soft smoke and fairy palace outfit, which made her look calm and tranquil. Her hair like a waterfall of ink was tied into a flowing bun with a few magnolia hairpins inserted sideways. She competed with all the charming and gorgeous young ladies.
When she got up, she was dressed elegantly.
With a clear complexion and icy muscles and jade bones, she is a rare beauty.
This palace is located on the upper side of the East Sixth Palace. Apart from the Chengqian Palace where the queen lives, it is the largest palace in the harem.
Lin Wanyi was not very impressed with Concubine Lin, the eldest sister.
The woman in front of the clear window was Concubine Lin, who was leaning on the rosewood table and letting the people around her squeeze her legs. She suddenly heard a voice and slowly opened her eyes.
But now that I have a low status, I have to be careful in my replies.
arrogant?
Hearing this, Lin Wanyi paused slightly, then raised his head and straightened his waist.
The maid inside immediately opened the curtains left and right and welcomed people in.
I'm afraid that there will be another favored nobleman in the palace.
If the Yihua Palace has been renovated from top to bottom, then the Linzhi Palace is extremely noble.
These were four words specially picked out by the emperor from the imperial concubine Lin's decree. They were made into a plaque and sent over to show the mighty dragon's grace.
Therefore, after entering the main hall and the cabinet, before even having time to sit up and take a look, Lin Wanyi folded her hands on her forehead, with a firm voice, respectfully kowtowed on the gold woven blanket and spoke meticulously.
It is also paved with cobblestones of the same size around it, so you won't slip when walking on it, even if there is water.
Now that he has authority, he naturally has the authority of a superior.
Thinking of this, the sincerity on his face became three points more.
Lin Wanyi could tell whether she was being polite or sincere. If she really asked Concubine Lin to call her "Eldest Sister", Zhang Yang's reputation for being ignorant would spread immediately.
Before entering the palace gate, Lin Wanyi smelled a faint fragrance of plum blossoms. It was really strange that there would be such a smell at this time of year.
Everywhere you look, you can see the wealth and splendor of Linzhi Palace.
On the surface it's just commonplace, but in reality it's a temptation.
"I am so kind to you, but I dare not go beyond the rules."
Jiang Heqing didn't say much, and led Lin Wanyi all the way to the door of Linzhi Palace.
I have to say that this Prime Minister's Mansion is really a treasure land of Feng Shui, and the girls he raises are more beautiful than the other girls.
Concubine Lin specifically asked her eldest brother to talk about the matter. It was just to warn her not to think about getting ahead, otherwise she would not end up much better than her eldest brother. So Lin Wanyi could only lower her head for the time being and replied in a calm tone.
.
"Oh? You haven't been promoted in seven years?"
She was slender, her skin was whiter than snow, and her delicate facial features revealed a nonchalant attitude. She slightly raised her hand towards Qin He, the eldest palace maid next to her, and then slowly spoke to Lin Wanyi.
Lin Wanyi didn't believe that based on the concubine's current position and Princess Rongkang's reports, she really didn't know about her eldest brother's situation!
Although the two sisters are only four years apart, Concubine Lin entered the palace at the age of fifteen and is now twenty-one. They have not seen each other for six years.
These words were really ridiculous coming from Concubine Lin's mouth.
"As far as I can tell you, my eldest brother is fine. It's just that he has been working as an errand in the Imperial City Division for seven years and has not made much progress. However, he is getting older and his mother is looking after his marriage."
The eldest brother had worked hard for many years and was not reused. It was inevitable that the people from Xikuayuan had done something behind the scenes. But the elder brother had no way to complain when he was suffering, so he could only have his teeth knocked out and his blood swallowed.
"My master, please come this way."
"Sister, get up. Although I am in the palace, I am still your eldest sister. When there is no one around, you can still call me as you did before."
Years of nourishment from the court have made her completely different from before.
Lin Wanyi folded her hands in front of her and tightened the handkerchief. Lin Wanyi followed Jiang Heqing up the steps in front of the main hall, only to hear him shout in a high-pitched voice, "Little Master Lin is here."
Besides, when they were at home, the two of them didn't have much interaction in private except for chatting a few words when they went to Ronghetang to pay their respects.
"Promise Mrs. Lin that she has seen the imperial concubine and please be kind to her."
Following Jiang Heqing into the palace, Lin Wanyi nodded slightly and did not look around. The two maids following him also lowered their heads respectfully and did not look around when they shouldn't. The rules were well taught.
This matter was also widely publicized by the second aunt in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so Lin Wanyi knew about it.
What catches the eye is not only the well-tended small garden, but also a pool made of rockery rocks from high mountains and flowing water. It is not big but very delicate, and has a bit of Jiangnan garden flavor.
Before Lin Wanyi could reply, he said to himself, "I think my grandfather wanted to temper my eldest brother's will. After all, he is the eldest grandson of the prime minister, so it is not good for him to be arrogant."
"Sister, please sit down quickly. I have been away from home for many years and have rarely seen my brothers and sisters. How is my eldest brother now? Is he still working in the Imperial City Department?"
After walking for about two-quarters of an hour, passing through four palace gates and a magnificent palace, Lin Wanyi finally saw the legendary Linzhi Palace.
The main hall is composed of seven large rooms. In the middle hangs a plaque given by the emperor, which reads: "Roujia has virtue."
If you look carefully, you can see that there is a light red tear mole under the left corner of the eye, which adds a bit of charm.
"This is the Linzhi Palace where the imperial concubine lives. The young master should come and move around more in the future. The empress has given orders. When you come here, it is the same as being at home. There is no need to be formal."
Seeing that she still obeyed the rules, Concubine Lin's mouth slightly relaxed. As her grandmother said, she was very easy to control.
"That's what the Queen said."
Seeing her being so submissive, Concubine Lin felt relieved again.
The beating is necessary, but it would not be good if the beating was excessive and she was frightened by her own majesty.
After all, based on her understanding of the emperor, neither a wooden beauty who doesn't understand the charm nor a timid person who is submissive will not be favored by the Holy Spirit, so since she has been chosen to enter the palace, it is natural that she can be favored.
