On the way to Kunning Palace, Ji Ling saw many concubines and concubines coming from the direction of Kunning Palace. There were women who were friends with each other, talking affectionately while walking forward in a lively manner.
.
So Ji Ling, taking Qixi and others, was actually walking against the direction of the crowd... and because she had recently gained favor, it was inevitable that many people would cast curious or jealous glances at her.
As soon as Ji Ling and his party arrived at the gate of Kunning Palace, they saw two young women dressed in the usual style walking out. They looked like they were late, probably because they were afraid that they would be late for the concubine's birthday party last year.
Everyone quickened their pace and walked in a hurry.
One of them was wearing a lake-blue flag uniform. Ji Ling remembered that it was An Changzai. The other one was wearing a light pink flag uniform. Although his face looked familiar, he couldn't remember it.
She was face-blind before time travel and was most afraid of recognizing people. Although there were only about thirty people in Yongzheng's harem, Ji Ling already felt that it was very difficult.
Fortunately, I didn't travel to Kangxi's harem...
An Changzai was not tall, and he was petite. When he saw Ji Ling, he reacted quickly. He immediately grabbed the man next to him wearing a light pink flag. The two Chang squatted down together and said, "Greetings to Mr. Ji!
”.
After Ji Ling shouted, he hurried to Kunning Palace without having time to say anything else.
The girl wearing light pink clothes is Ma Changzai. Like An Changzai and Ji Ling, they were all drafted into the palace.
At this time, Ma Changzai looked back at Ji Ling's back, curled his lips, twisted his shoulders, and said disdainfully: "It turns out that he was just like us, a constant, but after being favored for a few days, he started to tremble.
...Sister An, look at her, she looks so noble!".
An Changzai stretched out his palm and immediately covered Ma Changzai's mouth. He looked around before pulling her towards the red wall outside the gate of Kunning Palace.
After walking more than twenty steps along the palace wall, An Changzai looked back at the gate of Kunning Palace, then opened his eyes wide and said to Ma: "If you don't want to live anymore, don't pull me on my back! Really...
What place is this? Kunning Palace! In front of the Queen's Palace, how dare you be so presumptuous?" After she finished speaking, she still felt upset and raised her hand to pinch Ma's cheek rudely.
Ma Changzai said "Ouch" and hit her hand with a handkerchief, then bent down to avoid it.
Ma covered her mouth with a handkerchief, laughed coquettishly, and said: "Sister An, look at how scared you are. When we were drafting, we slept in the same room. What did you say, sister? Why didn't you see that at that time?
Are you ambitious?".
After hearing this, An Changzai had a slight embarrassment on his face, curled his lips and said: "I was young at that time, and I didn't know that the situation in the palace was like this. The empress in Yikun Palace... pampered the Sixth Palace. Besides,
When the Nian family is in such a prosperous time...how can you allow me to wait until I get ahead." When she said this, her voice became softer.
Ma Changzai bumped her waist with his elbow, and said with a half-smile: "Sister, you are obviously incompetent, so why did you use Empress Yikun Palace to cover it up? If it is really like what you said, Sister An, then noble Ji is
How did you get ahead of yourself under the eyes of Concubine Nian?".
An Changzai suddenly turned his head and looked at Ma Changzai, his nose flapped slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "You are just a person who laughs at fifty steps and laughs at a hundred steps!" After saying that, he turned around and walked forward.
Ma Changzai called out twice in succession. Seeing that An Changzai ignored him, he knew that she was angry, so he stepped forward, grabbed her arm from behind, and said in a long voice: "My good sister,
It’s just a joke, don’t be really upset! If you are jealous of Ji’s noble people, then learn her skills. If you can make the emperor come to you a few times a month, you can become a noble person by tomorrow!”
After she finished speaking, she took a few steps back, waved her handkerchief in a mocking manner, knelt down on her knees, and said solemnly: "The horse is always greeting Mr. An, who is blessed with good luck!".
Although An Changzai was still full of anger, he didn't resist it and burst into laughter.
After greeting the queen, Ji Ling arrived at Yikun Palace. Sure enough, Ji Ling saw that many of the concubines' companions had arrived. He took a rest and waited outside the palace.
These shoulder chairs are made of rosewood and look like an armchair with a base. The backrest, goose neck, and armrests are all decorated with Kui pattern horns, and there are bright legs with cloud patterns under the backrest board.
Different from the armchair, the waist of the shoulder chair is tied on the chair plate, and the lifting rod in the hand of the young eunuch can be inserted into it. Depending on the status of the concubine, some are covered with floral brocade and have moiré soft drawers for the feet.
There are also some styles of shoulder carriages that are simple and refreshing, with only an ordinary cushion added to the seat.
The little eunuchs stood with hands folded under the palace wall.
Yikun Palace has a layout of two courtyards. It is spacious and open, and has a unique momentum. The palace doors have been decorated with cut-flower patterns, some of which are peonies for wealth, and some of which are three stars of good fortune, wealth and longevity, which means more blessings and longevity, and both good fortune and wealth.
The wooden frame on the roof of the front yard has just been repaired and is still shiny with oil.
There are boxes tied with red silk ropes randomly stacked everywhere in the front hall and yard. They cannot be placed in the hall, so they have to be temporarily placed in the front yard. Many boxes are tied with red silk ropes. If you look carefully, you can see the top
Most of the signatures were congratulatory gifts sent in the name of wives outside the imperial court.
It seems that along the way, Ji Ling bumped into the person next to him without paying attention. He only heard the person whisper "Oops!" and staggered. Fortunately, he was supported by the palace maid next to him.
Ji Ling looked up and saw that it was Concubine Ning, the concubine of the Yonghe Palace, Zhang Guiren.
Zhang Guiren was hit by Ji Ling. Seeing that her body was unstable, Zhang Guiren said: "Be careful!" and stretched out his hand to hold Ji Ling.
Ji Ling smiled apologetically and said, "Guiren Zhang, I'm so sorry."
Zhang Guiren shook his head, smiled and said softly: "It doesn't matter."
Since both of them were nobles and had equal status, they bowed to each other.
But Zhang Guiren knew that Ji Ling was the most popular person in front of Yin recently and did not dare to neglect him, so he was extra polite when saluting, squatting with his knees deeper than Ji Ling.
Ji Ling quickly stretched out his hand to pull her up and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare!" and saw Zhang Guiren smiling shyly.
She has a round apple face and is a bit childish when she is not smiling, but she is even cuter when she smiles.
Zhang Guiren showed two rows of tiny teeth, and there was a small wine dimple on his right cheek, which was sweet.
Ji Ling couldn't help but feel very fond of her.
Qixi saw that the pearl pendant on one ear of Zhang Guiren kept shaking, but the other ear pendant was missing. She thought that maybe she had accidentally dropped it when she and Ji Ling collided with each other, so she bent down and carefully searched for it on the ground.
.
Sure enough, in the crack of the blue bricks on the ground, there was a small plum blossom pearl earring.
Qixi stretched out her hand to pick it up when she saw a flowerpot-soled shoe stepping on it, almost stepping on the back of her hand.
She instinctively retracted her hands, and when she raised her head, the sun shone down from above, making her almost unable to open her eyes.
Qixi squinted her eyes and saw clearly that it was Concubine Ning who was wearing an orange-red embroidered silver-splashed ink landscape pattern and a moonlight-trimmed flag outfit. Several palace maids and eunuchs were standing behind Concubine Ning with their hands hanging down.
Concubine Ning looked at Guiren Zhang, with a hint of scolding, and said coldly: "Concubine Nian is waiting inside, what are you talking about here? Come in quickly!".
