"You missed the draft due to illness, but I am thinking of my sister's charming appearance. If you can enter the palace as a concubine, I think my eldest uncle and eldest aunt are also willing to do so. If you win his majesty's favor in the harem, you will be the eldest brother's.
The future will also be beneficial. When the time comes, not to mention the Imperial City Department, the Imperial Guards will be able to join, don’t you think so, sister?"
Concubine Lin took advantage of the method of giving her a slap in the face first and then a sweet date, giving her kindness and power at the same time.
Lin Wanyi didn't know what Concubine Lin meant. There was a faint smile on her face, as if everything the concubine said was right.
The two sisters chatted for just a moment before Jiang Heqing walked in and spoke respectfully.
"I would like to pay my respects to you, the Chief Superintendent of the Inner Palace Department is here."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"It's said to be a daily gift."
Daily notes are the notebooks that record the emperor's visit to his concubines.
On weekdays, Eunuch He from the Minister's Office sends it, but today it's the General Manager who sends it in person. It seems that there are other things to report.
A dish of fish and shrimp stewed with mountain delicacies, a dish of honey-soaked tofu, and a pot of bamboo shoot soup with simmered pheasant shreds are all dishes that are light in taste but very nourishing.
She is different from Chunqi. Chunqi is a personal maid who has grown up with Lin Wanyi since she was a child. Her affection is unmatched by others. But she was sent to the prime minister's house two years ago when the old man of the Dong family found a way.
.
Sensing Xia An's worry, Chunqi handed over a bowl of food carelessly.
"I can't drink all this much, so you can leave a bowl for a taste."
"Call him in."
When Chunqi smelled the bamboo shoot soup, the glutton in his stomach was aroused.
"Slave Qin An, the deputy general manager of the Inner Court Department, has met Mr. Lin and wishes him well."
"Go and tell Deputy General Manager Qin that Lin promised to be more diligent in everything the palace asks for. If you ask for her favor now, everyone in the Inner Court Department will also be blessed in the future."
I went around the left side of the hall all the way around.
"Back to your Majesty, firstly, I want to send you the living note for your Majesty's review. Secondly, the green card that Lin promised has been prepared. I'm here to ask your Majesty for your instructions. Do you want to send it to the Imperial Palace today?"
As slaves, they naturally know how to bet.
"Sisters in the family, since you have entered the palace, I should take care of you. Yihua Palace is quite close to His Majesty's Qian'an Palace. It won't be troublesome if I call you to accompany you in the future."
She gained a lot from this trip.
In less than half a day after entering the palace, the three of them went back and forth several times.
Nowadays, the imperial concubine is protecting me, and the chambermaids and maids are all very polite. It is the most important thing to take advantage of this moment to make things right.
The eunuch who walked in was an unfamiliar eunuch. His uniform was similar to that of the chief eunuch he saw in Linzhi Palace. Lin Wanyi guessed that he was probably a respectable eunuch from the Inner Palace.
"That's what the Queen said."
The portions given to the palace maids are simpler, but they are all delicious.
In order to take care of Lin Wanyi's body, she has some medical skills.
"Chunqi is in good spirits and still has the energy to look around. But I'm tired and you have to look after me."
"Our little master feels the most sorry for your slave. Just drink it without worry."
"Thank you very much for your hard work, I will always remember your kindness."
Lin Wanyi chuckled and said, "You will enjoy it."
I originally thought of taking a rest, but unexpectedly someone came from outside.
After eating this delicious lunch, Lin Wanyi felt sleepy.
Seeing Lin Wanyi nodding towards her, Xia An felt relieved.
As soon as he entered the door, he ignored the people around him and said with surprise in his eyes.
Lin Wanyi could tell at a glance that she liked her and said with a smile.
"There is a flower pond built under the porch of the front yard, and all the precious flowers and plants are planted there. The slave looks a bit like camellia, but I am not sure."
"There is a small pavilion behind this house. It is very elegant and unique. Doesn't the young master like to drink tea? It will definitely be comfortable to put tea sets in the pavilion in summer."
"It turns out to be Eunuch Qin, please get up quickly."
The beauty of this Lin Yao is much better than this batch of newly promoted beauties. If she is also lucky, she will be granted the title of concubine in the future.
While the master and servant were talking, they saw Chunqi coming back.
"The people in the Inner Palace are very quick in handling things. Now that it's done, let's send it up."
When he walked out of Linzhi Palace, he thought about it and said to the little eunuch who was following him.
Chunqi was not polite, but Xia An felt it was inappropriate and hesitated whether he should accept it or not.
"Slave Quanfu invites the imperial concubine Jin An, and asks Lin to promise Fu'an."
Jiang and Qing just went out, and saw the servant holding a whisk in his hand coming in with two young eunuchs.
"My lord, the hall on the left is much larger than the courtyard we have at home. There is a small side room in front of the door. I look at the small charcoal stove in it. It would be convenient if you want to have some hot soup and tea."
The two of them talked about Lin Wanyi's bedtime as if there was no one around, but she, the main character, was ignored.
As expected, the waiter spoke.
So he quickly left Linzhi Palace and hurriedly sent the green head tablet to Qian'an Palace.
Listening to Chunqi's chirping voice, Lin Wanyi's heart dropped quite a bit.
Suffering is just a day's work, happiness is a day's work, so why bother yourself?
Quanfu turned around and took a look at the auspicious clouds above Linzhi Palace. He had to say that the imperial concubine had really good taste.
"Tell me, why do you want to see me?"
Not only the portions are generous, but also the dishes are exquisite.
"Thank you, little master!"
I have walked a lot and my feet are very sore now.
After reporting what he wanted to say, Director Quan bowed out respectfully.
Yes, now that you have entered the palace, you must live a good life for yourself and your family.
"Hey, isn't this the little bishop's?"
I woke up so early that day that I didn't talk, and I had to keep my mind on it all the time when talking to people, so my brain was very tired.
"What are you saying, little master? It is a blessing for me to be able to serve you."
"Um."
Xia An took off Lin Wanyi's shoes and socks and started massaging her gently. Her hands were just right and Lin Wanyi's fatigue was soon relieved.
"Yes, manager."
He was quite clever. Even though Lin Wanyi had only been in the palace for two hours, he was already able to accurately tell Lin Wanyi's identity when he saw her. He was really very capable.
The sun in April was still quite warm, so for lunch, I followed the palace regulations and brought two dishes and one soup.
"My slave obeys your orders."
The two sisters couldn't say anything except reminiscing about the past, so not long after the General Manager left, Lin Wanyi also returned to Yihua Palace.
Turning to Chunqi, he said, "Bring a chair to Eunuch Qin."
"You're welcome, young master. I'm here today to congratulate you."
Seeing that Lin Wanyi was a little stunned, she immediately said with a smile.
"Your Majesty has just turned over your name, my mistress. It is my mistress who will be sleeping with you tonight."
