"Don't worry, little master. If you have a higher status, you can invite your family to the palace to meet you after you become pregnant. This is also the rule set by our ancestors."
Qiu Ming opened his mouth to console him.
Lin Wanyi was well aware of his good intentions, but he didn't answer the question.
Pregnancy is something that is impossible for her now, so the day when she can meet her family may be far away again.
It's better to wait a few more days. When the limelight has passed, I can use Nanny Fan's hand to send some news to my grandmother. Then my mother and the others will naturally know about it.
Thinking about this, my heart started to look forward to the dragon boat race again.
The days passed by day by day, and soon the day of the Dragon Boat Festival arrived.
This early in the morning, Lin Wanyi got up and started dressing up to have breakfast.
After Chunqi was disciplined by Qiu Ming for a while, he became a little calmer.
He said before starting to tie Lin Wanyi's hair.
"Just look at the comb, it's pretty good."
"What are you thinking, little master? You didn't even hear me talk to you."
Lin Wanyi has been recovering from illness for many days and has not seen any visitors.
After saying that, he asked the palace maid who was following behind to bring it up.
"You two sisters have been working hard recently. Let's drink some tea to moisten your throat."
Suddenly I remembered the visit of Ye Guiren and Du Changzai yesterday afternoon.
No wonder she was favored by the emperor. The beauties in this harem really have their own merits.
"yes."
"Get flat."
Du Changzai said with admiration as soon as he walked in.
"My slave is asking, which pair of earrings should I use?"
"What's wrong?"
Sure enough, according to the emperor's decree, the concubines who were originally competing for beauty began to adopt a path as elegant as chrysanthemum.
Concubine Yi was the most noble among the three, so after she spoke, Lin Wanyi and others naturally stood up.
"Empress Yi Fei has arrived."
After saying that, he invited the two of them to come into the room and sit down.
In the past, everyone was more coquettish than others, but today, everyone is sober.
She was seen wearing a long dress with green satin embroidered with osmanthus flowers and Ruyi Tuan patterns. It was edged with snow-green satin and embroidered with melon patterns, which matched her round and slightly convex belly.
"Empress Lan Fei has arrived."
"Your Majesty, my concubine likes her very much."
"My sister has been sick, so we don't want to disturb her too much. Today we are sending bamboo branches and fans, so I came here shamelessly to disturb her."
The reason why they are being received today is entirely because of the emperor's decree.
Ever since she got the imperial concubine's order and took charge of the Dragon Boat Festival, she has lost her usual low profile and now smiles at everyone she meets.
Lin Wanyi glanced at it and raised the corners of her mouth.
"Let's go."
"Little Master, today I will give you a heart-shaped hair bun, and then add the peach wood hairpin, and decorate the side temples with a few pearl beads. It is neither conspicuous nor too plain. What do you think?"
From the beginning to the end, Ye Guiren only smiled lightly and accompanied me, never being in the limelight.
Ye Guiren didn't like to talk much. He only glanced at Lin Wanyi smoothly and said, "Sister Lin is well."
She is obviously one level higher than Du Changzai in terms of status, but she keeps a low profile as if she is the one with the lower status.
"The embroiderers are very busy with this dough fan. Your Majesty issued a decree a few days ago not to allow extravagance and waste, so the imperial concubine specially ordered the embroiderers to make this plain dough fan for use at the palace banquet tomorrow. Look, sister, this is
The flower patterns on it are all embroidered with the palace flowers that the empress gave us that day."
"Yes, your Majesty has always been considerate of us concubines. I can't wait to go and say hello to your Majesty."
Lin Wanyi casually pointed to the one on the left and said calmly.
Lin Wanyi picked it up and took a look. The silk surface was simple, with only a few oncidiums and two playful butterflies embroidered on it. It looked like an ordinary thing.
Before going out, he took the plain dough fan awarded by Concubine Lin, raised the corner of his mouth, and then said slowly.
"The concubine Ying has arrived."
Even the color of the palace clothes seems to have been agreed upon, it is either light pink, aqua blue, or goose yellow.
Lin Wanyi had seen Concubine Yi and Concubine Ying before, but this was the first time for Concubine Lan, who was pregnant, to see them.
After a while, the palace attendants from outside came to report.
Not even the standout color is gone.
In Linzhi Palace, all the concubines who had not seen each other for a few days were waiting in the courtyard early. Lin Wan realized that it was neither too early nor too late. After greeting the high-ranking people in a polite manner, she stood up
On the porch.
At the same time, Xia An also took out her palace attire, an aqua plain pleated satin skirt, and a moon-white folded twig gown.
Seeing Lin Wanyi looking at the fan carefully, Du Changzai began to speak again.
Lin Wanyi was separated from her thoughts and looked at Chunqi curiously.
After dressing up from head to toe, Lin Wanyi had breakfast. Today was the first time she went to see Concubine Lin and other concubines after recovering from illness, so she couldn't be late.
The early morning sun in early May shone lightly on her body, making her look soft and peaceful.
Du Changzai always talks about Concubine Lin, hoping that everyone in the world will know that she is Concubine Lin's supporter!
After saying that, he handed over two pairs, both of which were of plain style, not showing off anything.
"Let's do this."
This round fan was much more ordinary than the previous five-poison round fan made of black silk, but it was such an ordinary thing that Lin Wanyi felt comfortable holding in his hand.
Everyone knew this well and held in their hands the bamboo fans given by the imperial concubine to show their kindness.
He said that he was grateful for Empress Xu's frugality when she was in power, so everyone in the palace should express their condolences and stop organizing extravagant and wasteful festivals.
But the Dragon Boat Festival is just around the corner, and it is inconvenient to change it, so the concubines can only try to be as low-key as possible in their clothes.
Lin Wanyi glanced at her and was attracted by those eyes with glistening autumn waves, like a clear spring.
"Lin promised that this place is really a quiet and comfortable place. It's so busy outside, but your place is like a fairyland. No one dares to disturb you."
Lin Wanyi has always recognized Chunqi's craftsmanship.
Everyone stood politely and immediately greeted the three of them.
All the high-ranking concubines came to the scene. Even though the Linzhi Palace was big, it seemed a bit crowded at the moment.
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Chunqi wave his hand in front of her and call out "Little Master".
Coincidentally, Qin He, the eldest maid next to Concubine Lin, lifted the curtain and came out, walked to Concubine Yi and others, saluted, and then said respectfully.
"The Imperial Concubine has prepared refreshments. Please invite the Imperial Concubine Yi, the Imperial Concubine Lan and the other young masters to go in and talk."
Concubine Yi glanced at Qinhe, full of disdain.
Lifting his feet, he was the first to step into the main hall, and then everyone else filed in.
Lin Wanyi did not miss the sharp light behind him. It was the noble Chu who had just been released from the ban.
