Yang Xuemei took two personal maids and reluctantly entered the palace.

These two maids, one is called Xiwa and the other is called Luo Yao. Both of them are orphans, and they were brought to the house by Yang Lan when they were children and grew up with Yang Xuemei. When Yang Xuemei was five years old, Yang Lan went to the street to choose a gift for her daughter, and saw the two of them shivering from the cold on the street.

After they had eaten, Yang Lan asked them why they were living on the streets, and Xiwa saw that the people in front of her were very kind, so she told Yang Lan frankly: "I escaped by myself." My mother died when she gave birth to me, and my father often beat and scolded me, and later took a wife and gave birth to a younger brother. My dad had an accident and left, and my stepmom treated me badly. That day, I heard her say that she was going to give me to a landlord to do hard labor. So I sneaked out at night. ”

Luo Yao said: "I haven't had my father and mother hurt since I was a child, and I live in a very fierce family. He asked me to train every day, and then went to perform to earn money, and if he didn't get it, he would beat me and not give me food and water. I was so hungry the other day that I fell off the table and he beat me and said he was going to break my legs, and I ran away. ”

Yang Lan listened, tears overflowing her eyes. He said, "You have lived so hard, do you want to stay in my house and study and live with my daughter?"

Both of them nodded, both trusting the amiable uncle in front of them.

Yang Lan asked, "What's your name and what day is your birthday?"

Xiwa said: "When my father was here, they all called me 'girl', I don't know when I was born, only that I was six years old. ”

Luo Yao was even more confused: "I don't know my name, and I don't know what year or month I was born." ”

Yang Lan sighed in her heart, he said: "In this way, you are called 'Xiwa', the name 'girl' is too casual." You...... Let's call it 'Luo Yao'!"

Since then, Xiwa and Luo Yao have lived happily in Yang Lan's house, accompanying Yang Xuemei to read books every day, and they have also learned some words and a little poetry and songs. Yang Xuemei never treated the two of them as outsiders, and treated them like sisters. Xiwa and Luo Yao are also loyal to Yang Xuemei. So when Yang Xuemei entered the palace this time, she brought the two of them with her, and said before leaving:

"I'm sorry, I still want you to follow me to the palace to live a cold life......"

"Miss, what are you talking about! Even if Miss doesn't take us into the palace, we will fight to go, and we will go wherever Miss goes!" the two said in unison.

The place where Yang Xuemei lives in the palace is called "Yueyi Palace", and I heard my aunt say that this was originally the residence of Concubine Yong, and since Concubine Yong became a concubine and moved to Jingtingxuan, this place has been vacant. The feng shui of the Yueyi Palace is very good, as soon as you enter the door, you will see the branches of a cherry blossom tree in front of you, and the flowers on it seem to be carved with good jade, the flowers are exquisite, and they are very gorgeous. The fragrance of cherry blossoms in the wind and the fragrance of other flowers and plants are mixed together and brewed in the air and fermented.

There is also a small stream behind the main palace, and there is a pavilion next to the stream, and many flowers are planted next to it. There is also a small wooden bridge over the stream, but this wood is a fine product at a glance, which shows the emperor's love for Concubine Yong.

Although Yang Xuemei is not interested in the life of the harem, she has a soft spot for the beautiful scenery of the Yueyi Palace. She secretly decided in her heart: Let me live here for the rest of my life and be a noble person with no name!

According to the rules of the palace, concubines above the concubine position need to reward some cloth, jewelry or other gadgets to the nobles who have just entered the palace. So as soon as Yang Xuemei sat down, a large number of palace maids and eunuchs came with the rewards of the ladies of each palace, and the Yueyi Palace suddenly became very lively. Even Concubine Yong came, and brought a hairpin to Yang Xuemei, saying: "This hairpin was given by the emperor when the palace was named Concubine Yong." Now Hongu has given it to you, and I hope you will receive it. ”

Yang Xuemei took the hairpin and said, "Thank you, concubine." ”

Of course, not every palace is as lively as Yueyi Palace, and not everyone is as eye-catching as Yang Xuemei: on the first day of entering the palace, she attracted the attention of the emperor's favorite concubine, and also accepted the gift of the mother!
