A layer of peach blossom powder was spread on her face, revealing her creamy skin.
Seeing Lin Wanyi tidied up from head to toe, Xia An and Chun Qi stopped.
"My little master, you really can't go wrong with this outfit."
Xia An needs to know more about the rules, so he understands the stakes involved.
"Let's go, don't miss the time."
"yes."
This was Lin Wanyi's second time to Linzhi Palace, and this time she didn't bother to look at the scenery along the way.
It's early spring in April, and it's a little chilly in the early morning.
Fortunately, her dress was not too thin, and she would not feel cold even if she walked all the way to Linzhi Palace.
As soon as I entered the palace gate, I saw the palace maid coming to greet me, with a smile on her face, but her eyes were not very sincere.
"Where are Concubine Yi and Concubine Lan?"
It has to be said that if she didn't have the giant Buddha like Concubine Lin behind her to protect her at this moment, she would probably have to fight in the queue.
Everyone sat on the red sandalwood armchairs at the bottom according to their rank and listened to what the imperial concubine said.
In the corridor of the main hall, there were already three or three concubines standing in twos and threes. When Lin Wanyi walked over, she gave them a half-squatting salute, but unfortunately she only received a roll of the eyes and a cold snort.
So Lin Wanyi stood in the corridor submissively, waiting for Concubine Lin's summons.
"It's all thanks to my mother-in-law."
"Sister Du is always good at joking. The Japanese palace got a new red coral hairpin a few days ago. It looks very novel. I'll give it to my sister to play with."
A room full of women gathered together, and anyone who looked at it would be dazzled.
The palace maid originally planned to trick her into something more, but unexpectedly, she hit the cotton with a punch, and her words seemed to be nothing, which was no different from not saying anything at all.
Xia An stood behind Lin Wanyi, feeling secretly annoyed that this palace maid really didn't understand the rules.
As soon as the imperial concubine finished her speech, the eldest palace maid Qinhe served the Dragon Well tea before the rain and served exquisite refreshments.
"The imperial concubine has packed everything. Please come in, young masters."
The implication is that they did not receive an explanation from the palace.
If I go now, she is still a second-class palace maid. If Master Lin is favored once, won't she follow the chickens and dogs to heaven?
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Liu, another palace maid beside the imperial concubine, brought out a brocade plate, walked up to Du Changzai, and handed it over respectfully.
If he had not stood in a high position, the successive servants of Yingying and Yanyan would have been lost if they were not defeated by a fight.
"Replying to your Majesty, Concubine Lan felt a little unwell early in the morning, so she sent a palace official to report that she will not come to greet you today. As for Concubine Yi, she is probably still on her way here."
"This Yuqian Longjing was just presented as tribute this year. His Majesty rewarded me with some. Today I took it out to drink with all the sisters. Try it. It tastes really good."
Obviously her mistress wanted to keep a low profile, but she rushed to congratulate her, for fear that others wouldn't know that it was their mistress who was sleeping with her yesterday?
It would really cause chaos.
The palace dress made of lotus pigmented soft satin is embroidered with the pattern of a branched vase. It looks plain, but if you look closely at the clothes, you can see that it is not of high quality.
Since Concubine Yi was not here, the time to greet her would have to be postponed. In the end, the blame was placed on Concubine Yi, which would really lead to misfortune.
I think she has been with the emperor since the ninth year of Yuanhe, and eight years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Du Changzai was pleasantly surprised. Finally, her good sales these days were not in vain. It seemed that the imperial concubine intended to promote her.
The double-breasted palace dress is embroidered with silk and lotus pattern, and the hairpin in the bun is also made of ruby with lotus pattern. Not only is it luxurious, but it also complements her elegance.
Thinking of this, he immediately stood up and gave a half-length salute to Concubine Lin, speaking with a certain degree of excitement in his tone.
But when I thought that I had no future as a maid in Linzhi Palace, I might as well start from scratch with Little Master Lin.
Under Liu Ye's curved eyebrows, there is a pair of upturned red phoenix eyes. Sitting on top, she seems to be overlooking everyone.
"yes."
And the imperial concubine was also dressed grandly today.
I wonder why.
"Since sister Yifei is still on the way, all sisters, please have a cup of tea first. When she comes, we can talk together."
He couldn't bear to see her as a low-level concubine who entered the palace "through the back door" and slept with her, but he also cared about her relationship with Concubine Lin being difficult to break out.
With this in mind, I saw Qin He, whom I had just met yesterday, walk out from the inner hall through the curtains, saluted the concubines, and then said with a smile.
"My lord, you are here."
I was secretly annoyed that this little master Lin was really a slippery loach.
Lin Wanyi disliked people who flattered her the most, but this was in Linzhi Palace, and she couldn't show it no matter how much she didn't like it, so she said with a smile.
His eyes were bulging, and everyone knew the meaning of his words.
The more I think about it, the harder I sweep the broom in my hand.
The status is still Chang Zai, not to mention compared to the old people, even among the concubines who have just entered the palace, there is a Chu nobleman who is higher than her, and the same Chang Zai is Ming.
Sure enough, none of the women in the palace were vegetarians.
The person who spoke was a palace concubine who didn't look very outstanding and looked a bit older.
Regardless of appearance, figure, family background or talent, they are far above her.
Seeing the concubines in the palace entering the gate of Linzhi Palace one after another, the originally empty courtyard was filled with people in an instant.
This sentence made Lin Wanyi wary.
It seems that this Concubine Yi is a hard-nosed woman, and she is always late for the royal court meeting. She must be a favored person, or her family is powerful, otherwise how could she dare to openly confront Concubine Lin like this!
Concubine Lin looked calm and said to the concubines below.
Therefore, this thigh must be hugged when it needs to be hugged!
"Um."
In the middle of the main hall of Linzhi Palace, there is a throne on the ground screen, which is carved with complicated patterns. If you look closely, it looks like a phoenix bird on the ground.
Without saying anything painful, he quickly walked into the courtyard and stood on the porch.
Looking at it this way, Lin Wanyi realized why all the women in the palace wanted to climb up.
The Empress Dowager went to Mount Wutai to meditate and worship Buddha. Empress Xu died three years later. Now Concubine Lin is the highest-ranking woman in the palace, so she is naturally respected.
If she doesn't work hard and find a backer to protect her, I'm afraid she will be like the weeds beside the city wall and no one will care about her.
"My slave has been waiting here for a long time, and I just wanted to congratulate my little master first."
However, the first position on the right and left is still vacant, and the first question the imperial concubine asked was them.
"Your Majesty is really considerate of us. Such good imperial tea is so precious to all the maids and concubines when they smell it."
"I thank you for your gift."
Such a clinging look made the beautiful woman sitting on top of him quite unhappy.
He looked at Du Changzai with a mocking look in his eyes. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was very clear.
As expected, he is a country bumpkin who cannot be pampered, and he can be so happy with just a coral hairpin.
