Chapter 17: Entering the Ronghua Palace
"The concubine came back from the palace, the queen mother took pity on her frailty, and exempted her from asking for peace, we can't be so ignorant of the rules, and after asking for peace, we have to go to Ronghua Palace to greet the concubine. Concubine Ying said.
"You go and say hello too. The queen said, "You and Concubine Jia haven't seen her since they entered the palace." β
Qin Yunyi listened to Miao An talk about the things in the palace during the time she was out of the palace, and said that before Concubine Ying entered the palace, only Jin Guiren was favored by His Majesty, but after Concubine Ying entered the palace, His Majesty had never been to other concubines, "Poor Concubine Jianiang, I haven't seen Your Majesty yet." β
"Needless to say, people come to the palace every day, and they are talking about these things, who is your majesty fortunate today, and who is your majesty rewarded today. Qin Yunyi looked at the patterns on her sleeves, "The queen is very worried about me." β
Mama Li came in and took the decoction, "Niangniang, let's drink another bowl of soothing soup." β
Qin Yunyi picked up the bowl of noodles and drank it all without changing color, as if he was drinking sweet soup rather than bitter medicine.
"There are really not many new wonders in the palace during this time. Mama Li said that she spent a lot of time in the harem, and her eyes saw much more than Miao'an, and when it came to trusting Niangniang, she naturally trusted Miao'an, but as long as she was useful, Niangniang would trust her more and more. "In the past two months, the days when His Majesty came to the harem have been only one month, and these days because of the border change, His Majesty has to have a deep conversation with General Shen every day, so he went back to the harem and rested at Concubine Ying. β
Qin Yunyi nodded, "I see, I wonder, since Your Majesty has given Concubine Jia decency, how could he be snubbed here." β
"Concubine Ying entered the palace and came straight to Niangniang. Mama Li said, "I heard that she went to Ditai Palace on the first day to ask for peace, so she distributed gifts to the concubines, specially gave Jin Guiren a pair of gold bracelets, and asked her to take off the bracelet that the mother gave her at the beginning." β
"I see. Qin Yunyi sneered, "Yesterday I called the imperial doctor, and she came over to ask for it, looking at me and not knowing what she meant." β
"Niangniang deliberately didn't go to the Ditai Palace to ask for peace today?" Miao An's eyes lit up and asked, "Is Niangniang going to give Concubine Ying a dismount?"
"What do I give her?" Qin Yunyi said, "It's just that she wants to throw her majesty in my face, and I naturally won't allow it." β
Jin Guiren has been wearing the bracelet given to her during the Niangniang draft, which shows that her heart is still towards Niangniang. Miao An said, "She has beauty and the support of the concubine, but she can be used." β
Qin Yunyi shook his head with a smile, "Because a bracelet has become my person, either I am too naΓ―ve, or she is too naΓ―ve." β
"The girl next to Jin Guiren, the one named Cui Yu, doesn't look obvious, in fact, she used to be a person in Concubine Li's palace, and Jin Guiren is attached to Concubine Li, which should mean Concubine Li. Mama Li said.
"Rei is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Qin Yunyi said, "I don't want to go against her, and of course, I won't carry a sedan chair for Jin Guiren." β
"Niangniang doesn't want the harem to fight, but this harem battle is in the middle of the game and has to do it. Mama Li persuaded that she knew from the time the concubine avoided the palace that this lord was not a combative lord, but in this harem, she had to fight if she didn't fight.
"I know it in my heart. Qin Yunyi said, she turned to others, "Have all the people left in the Ronghua Palace been trained? β
Mama Li and Mama Zhang stood in front of their heads, called all the palace maids over, and stood in four rows, there were only two grandma in Ronghua Palace, and the rest of the palace maids were all at the right age, crisp and green onions, and the appearance of the show girl was better, but the people selected from the internal division also had their own bearing under the training of Mama Li.
Standing in the first two rows, he is naturally the best among them, Qin Yunyi recognized all the people for the first time, not to mention Qingxi and the others, the people who came out of the inner division are all named after auspicious words, and they are easy to remember.
"The person who came out of this inner division really knows it by name. Qin Yunyi said with a smile.
"This palace maid stays in the palace, and she has to be sent to the palaces to see if the master's intention is to change her name. Mama Zhang said, "Most of the names that have been changed in the internal division are names like the eldest girl and the second girl, because there are too many, and it is difficult to distinguish if you don't change the name." β
Qin Yunyi nodded, "Miaoping and Miao'an are the maids who have been with me for the longest time, wonderful words, beautiful, good, interesting, just when they are young, the big palace maid is also named after Miao Zi." β
"Miaoji, Miaoyi, Miaoqing, Miaoyu. Qin Yunyi still kept a word in their names, and the four of them thanked them together.
"The rest of the second-class palace maids and small palace maids will be discussed by Mama Li and Mama Zhang. Qin Yunyi said, "I want to let Mama Li take care of the external affairs and palace maids of Ronghua Palace, and Mama Zhang will take charge of the treasury and internal affairs of Ronghua Palace, what do you two think?"
Mama Li and Mama Zhang hurriedly bowed their hands and said respectfully, "I will do my best to do my best and live up to my mother's trust." β
"In Ronghua Palace, you are the two of you who have been through the years, and the rest are still young, so you have to rely on the two grandmothers to mention more, don't let them make mistakes. Qin Yunyi said, "Mu Chengzhou is in charge of the little eunuch, he is from the Tianqing Palace, and he has his own rules for doing things, you don't need to ask again, if you see anything wrong with them, just report it directly, I will report it to Your Majesty and let Your Majesty deal with it." β
"Yes. β
Qin Yunyi asked Miaoping to distribute the purse that had been arranged a long time ago, "Reluctant to be an errand, honest and peaceful, since the master and servant are the same, this palace will definitely not let you end up." β
"Xie Guifei Niangniang. β
After they retreated, Qin Yunyi instructed Miaoping, "Have you brought all the books from the palace into the palace?"
"It's all on the bookshelf in the side hall. Miao Ping said, "Niangniang wants to take the unfinished golden hairpin?"
Qin Yunyi shook his head, "I remember that there is a travelogue in the land, you go to find it." β
"Yes. β
Mama Zhang and Mama Li walked under the porch together, "The concubine is so scheming." Mama Li sighed, she first voted for Cheng Niangniang, and then stayed in Ronghua Palace, thinking that she was more reliable than Mama Zhang in her heart, but she didn't think about it, Niangniang let Mama Zhang take care of the treasury in a blink of an eye, how can this treasury be managed by non-confidants.
"Niangniang asked me to take care of the treasury and let you take charge of external affairs, this treasury comes and goes, but it is all external affairs. Mama Zhang said.
"Niangniang asked me to take care of the palace maids, but the palace maids are all internal affairs in Ronghua Palace. Mama Li said.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Mama Li said, "Niangniang is a smart person, she is good to you and me, since Niangniang wants to use us, I don't want anything else." β
Mama Zhang nodded, "Niangniang ordered Qingxi and Duyu to be first-class palace maids, also to make noodles for me, how can those girls I trained compare with your training, the second-class palace maids are the remaining eight of your sister's training." Mama Zhang knew that she was in charge of the treasury to make Mama Li dislike, so she took the initiative to show goodwill and said.
"The reunion and the lucky star are still young, but they can wait a little longer. Mama Li said that now the concubine clearly doesn't want one of them to be dominant, if she is so frivolous, she will definitely make the mother unhappy, "You pick two to make up for it." β
The little eunuch spread the word outside the palace gate, "Concubine Ying and a group of ladies have come from Ditai Palace. β
Miao An went to reply, "The ladies of the harem have come to visit Niangniang." β
"Invite them to sit in the flower hall, and then say I can't get up, apologize and let them go back." Qin Yunyi didn't lift his gaze from the book, "Let Mama prepare gifts, Concubine Ying, Concubine Jia's gifts are two." β
"Yes. β
The sunlight poured in through the window lattice, half of Qin Yunyi's face was illuminated white and shiny, her eyes were focused, and there was something more important.
Concubine Ying frowned since she entered the Ronghua Palace, "The Ronghua Palace of the noble concubine is too small, I really don't know what Your Majesty thinks?"
"Your Majesty asked the Ganquan Palace in the back to be incorporated into the Ronghua Palace, and the construction will start next year. Ru Concubine said that she was the niece of the Queen Mother, and she followed the queen to deal with palace affairs, so she naturally knew the inside story, "At that time, Ronghua Palace will be second only to the size of Tianqing Palace." β
Concubine Ying was speechless, and only said that the queen was generous.
was led to the flower hall to sit down, and after the palace maid served tea, Miao Ping came to apologize, "The working ladies came to visit the concubine, but the maidens can't get up now, and they can't come to thank the ladies for their kindness." β
"Is it so sick?" Concubine Xian asked with concern, not feeling that there was anything wrong when she was in the palace.
"It's not very serious, it's just that the prescription prescribed by the doctor has a calming effect, and I can't get up from my body in a drowsy state. Myohei replied.
"Imperial Doctor She said that Niangniang was just a little uncertain, and she prescribed some Taifang, why did she get drowsy and couldn't get up?" Concubine Ying asked, "Could it be that Niangniang doesn't want to see us?" β
"Imperial Doctor She didn't diagnose Niangniang yesterday, Luoying Palace said that there was an invitation, Niangniang was afraid of delaying Concubine Ying's illness, so she immediately let Imperial Doctor She pass, and His Majesty called Imperial Doctor Liu to come over and show Niangniang. β
Concubine Song played a round and said, "Since Niangniang is still sick, I won't disturb Niangniang here, so I will retire." β
Miao Ping offered gifts, "Concubine Ying and Concubine Jia are brides, and an additional one is a congratulatory gift." β
After the concubine left Ronghua Palace, Qi Zongwen arrived at Ronghua Palace, "What book are you reading?"
Qin Yunyi moved to the side to let him sit down, "Some idle books that Your Majesty doesn't read." β
"Travelogue?" Qi Zongwen flipped to the cover, "This name is strange." β
"In ancient times, there was a grandson of the earth, who could escape thousands of miles, this author Sun Xingtu, although he did not have the ability to escape, but also walked all over the north and south of the river with his feet, the vast frontier, he combined his travelogue with local stories, and wrote this travelogue, which is very interesting. Qin Yunyi said, "The rural legends are exaggerated, but the geography and people are very realistic. β
"Do you know realism again?" Qi Zongwen asked with a smile.
"When this travelogue was written, some people doubted that this Sun Xingtu was at that time, but although he said that although he went to prove and argue, many good people responded to it, but in the end it only confirmed that this book was indeed true. Qin Yunyi said, "When this happened, I was still young, and I still heard from my master, he had students in the north, and he also wrote to ask at the beginning." β
"North?" Qi Zongwen said, he rubbed the book cover, and now the biggest obstacle to the border change he discussed with the courtiers came from the north, General Anbei had been stationed in the north for 20 years when he was the first emperor, and when he was the emperor of the soil, he naturally refused to return to Beijing to raise his family.
