On the third day of the lunar month, the first snow fell in Yanjing, and the snowflakes flying in the sky were like thousands of stars falling, which was so beautiful that it was dreamy and beautiful.

Taking advantage of this belated heavy snowfall, Yanjing Palace Jinbi City ushered in the first batch of show girls in the ten years of Zhengji, and the show girls should have many and cumbersome procedures to enter the palace, but this batch of show girls has a special identity, and the emperor's permission has saved a lot of troublesome procedures, dedicated to the emperor's beauties, and there are also many princes and nobles who have nieces or daughters who have been related to the deceased, and Mo Chenghuan is among them.

The identity of this group of show girls is different from that of ordinary show girls, and the natural treatment is also special, the future of other show girls is uncertain, and everything is unknowable in the future when they enter the palace, and this group of show girls is destined not to be unknown before entering the palace.

is also a show girl who entered the palace, and these show girls received the rank without being lucky, which some people can't struggle for in their lifetime, which shows that the status in the palace in the future is not ordinary.

Mo Chenghuan, as the former emperor's royal lord, can dominate the entire batch of show girls in terms of identity and appearance, but he is extremely low-key.

She and the show girls of the same period, together in a carriage specially prepared for them from the side gate of the West City entered, the West City is the only way for everyone to enter and leave the palace, in addition to the wind and beauty, down to the show girl, musicians, dancers, slaves, all have to be trained here, in order to get out of this butterfly dance palace, distributed to all parts of the city.

It can be said that this butterfly dance palace is a rookie training palace, and the butterfly dance palace is also divided into several parts, the show girl's residence is in the Hexiu Garden, the musicians and dancers are all in the Fengyutang, and the eunuch palace maids are mostly in the miscellaneous room.

Mo Chenghuan got off the carriage in Xicheng unlike the other show girls, and was brought into the Hexiu Garden by Liu Yu, the steward of the Butterfly Dance Palace, and a few little eunuchs.

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, this is your residence in the next month-Hexiu Garden, and the miscellaneous family also knows that there are some grievances to sleep here, but this is a rule in the palace, if it is really uncomfortable to live, then you have to behave well at the Lixue banquet in a month, you know?" Liu Yu said this proudly.

"Got it," for a while, no matter how arrogant and domineering the official lady outside the palace was, she obediently lowered her head and responded softly, "I know." ”

"Very good, let me introduce to you, these two are Aunt Qingyu and Aunt Lin Miao, and in the next month, the two of them will take care of your diet and daily life, and they will also teach you to familiarize yourself with the rules of the palace. Liu Yu said, and two came out from the side, with serious faces.

The show girls hurriedly bowed to them respectfully, and said, "Hello two aunts!"

The two aunts just nodded their heads.

"Then there is, the maids who enter the palace with the beauties will not come in until the day after tomorrow, please be patient before that, and let the miscellaneous family arrange a small palace maid for you first, come!

"Hello beauties!" a group of well-trained Gong E's hands folded in front of their abdomen, and after asking for a blessing to all the show girls, they retreated to the side in an orderly manner.

"In order to avoid injustice, the miscellaneous family wrote their names in advance and put them in this altar, and the beauties drew lots to decide, and whoever was selected would follow you. Liu Yu gestured to the little eunuch beside him with his hand and brought the small jar forward.

The nuns drew lots one by one, and Liu Yu spoke up again: "The beauties should read the names in your hands." ”

Mo Chenghuan unfolded the note in his hand, and wrote the word Jinsu in small block letters.

"Jinsu. Mo Chenghuan read out the name on the paper softly, and a pretty Gong E slowly walked over to her.

"Jin Su has seen the master. Jin Su smiled shallowly and blessed Mo Chenghuan.

Mo Chenghuan nodded generously, signaling that he could get up, Jin Su saw that Mo Chenghuan had a gentle attitude, so he was no longer nervous, stood up straight, and walked behind Mo Chenghuan.

"Okay, then the rest will be arranged by the two aunts, and if the miscellaneous family has something to do, don't leave you beauties first. After Liu Yu finished speaking, he flicked the dust and led people away.

When Liu Yu came out of the Hexiu Garden, the two aunts stood up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come with me," Qingyu said as she walked.

The twelve show girls didn't dare to delay, lined up in an orderly manner, and followed Qingyu unhurriedly, while Lin Miao walked at the end of the line.

"This Hexiu Garden is divided into four courtyards, east, west, north and south, with four rooms in each courtyard, and Xue Shicai, Liu Zhifang, Bian Yiyan, and Qi Yu live together in the East Courtyard," said Qingyu with a finger of his hand, guiding everyone's eyes to fall in front of a courtyard, and the word "East Courtyard" was written simply and clearly above the circular arch.

"Fu Yijia, Nan Feiqin, He Qingxue, and Yu Suhua live in the West Courtyard, Mo Chenghuan, Lu Huiyan, Zheng Lingzhi, and Qiu Shengxi live in the South Courtyard. Let's get acquainted with our rooms. After Qingyu finished speaking, Lin Miao stepped forward and whispered a few words to her.

Qingyu added to everyone's backs: "An hour later, come to this gathering!"

Everyone just walked into their courtyard, but they didn't respond to Qingyu's words, and Qingyu didn't say anything.

Mo Chenghuan glanced back at Qingyu, who happened to be chatting with Lin Miao, and she didn't know why she always felt that something was wrong, and she really couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Master?" Jin Su carefully saw that Mo Chenghuan was distracted, and then shouted.

Mo Chenghuan came back to his senses, knowing that he had lost his temper, and immediately said, "It's okay, let's go." “

Mo Chenghuan was the latest to arrive in the courtyard, and the other three had already picked a room and went back to their rooms, so she had no choice and walked into the room that was picked.

The rooms were all cleaned in advance, and on the whole they were neat and tidy, and Mo Chenghuan was also used to it, so he didn't care much about this.

"The master's belongings will be sent over tonight, and if the master still needs anything, the slave can apply to Aunt Lin Miao. Jin Su followed behind Mo Chenghuan and said softly.

"No need," Mo Chenghuan said and walked to the side of the bed, turned back to Jin Su and instructed: "I'm a little tired, rest for a while, and wake me up in half an hour." ”

"Yes," Jin Su is a smart girl, she quickly figured out her master's temperament, and knew that Mo Chenghuan liked to be concise, so she responded in a regular manner, and found a place to wait.

Mo Chenghuan took off his coat, lay on the bed and closed his eyes, the night before because he was too nervous, he couldn't sleep well, but at this time he closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.

I slept for a while in a daze, was called up by Jinsu, sorted out my makeup, and went out to gather.

When she came to the meeting place and found that she was the only one who had arrived first, Qingyu Lin Miao seemed to be surprised to see her.

"Mo Miao is early, come and have a cup of tea with us," Lin Miao took the lead in coming back to her senses and invited her.

Mo Chenghuan walked over and saluted first, but sat down in no hurry.

Qingyu glanced at her and handed over a cup of tea.

"Thank you, aunts. Mo Chenghuan took the tea.

Qingyu and Lin Miao glanced at each other, and then looked at her with a little more approval in their eyes.

"Mo Miao people don't have to be restrained, sit down. Lin Miao gestured to the stone bench beside him.

"Yes. "Mo Chenghuan didn't dare to make a mistake, none of the deep palaces in this deep palace were fuel-efficient lamps, she had to be cautious and cautious.

"Mo Miaoren doesn't need to be so polite to us who are slaves, no matter how you say that you are all masters, we are just some minions. Although Qingyu said this, there was no humility in her tone.

"No, the little girl's name is so good, but she is just a little girl who has just entered the deep palace, how can she make a mistake in front of her aunt. "In this deep palace, no matter how powerful you are outside, you have to coil here, as the so-called far water can't save the near fire, once you offend these people, there will be no day to turn over, and even if people outside the palace want to help you, it will be too late.

Qingyu and Lin Miao didn't say anything when they heard this, they just nodded and smiled vigorously.

The three of them chatted for half an hour without a match, and Lin Miao estimated that the time was almost up, so he reminded Qingyu.

Qingyu got up, just in time to see Qiu Shengxi walking out of the South Courtyard, Qingyu turned around and said to Lin Miao briskly: "Yo, it seems that the masters of the South Courtyard are okay this year." After speaking, he glanced at Mo Chenghuan again.

Mo Chenghuan knew that it was praise, and quickly got up and thanked Qingyu.

"Alas, don't bother me to wait, if the second person really wants to thank us, when you fly on the sycamore branch, don't forget the two of us!" Qingyu smiled, she hadn't met such a sensible girl for many years, she met the first girl who was so sensible, it was Sima Yi many years ago, at this moment, people are no longer the little girls when they were in the palace, they are now concubines, and they are the backbone of the entire harem.

"Yes. Mo Chenghuan's words are not false, if she sits in a high position in the future, among the people who must not be forgotten, Qingyu and Lin Miao are probably among them, if they are still alive at that time, it is not impossible to win them under their own banner.

After Qiu Shengxi came out of the south courtyard, several wonderful people also came out of other courtyards one after another.

After a while, the specified time came, and there were still people who had not yet arrived, and the wonderful people who came lined up and stood in front of Qingyu, and Gong'e stood behind them.

"Wonderful people, did you hear what I said?" Although most of them were tapped, Qingyu felt satisfied to be there.

"I hear," the crowd replied in unison.

"What I want to tell you here is that tomorrow at noon at the Fengyutang in front of the Harmony Garden, please be sure to be on time, otherwise you will bear the consequences. "Qingyu's words are sonorous and powerful, and there is no doubt about it.

At that time, Lin Miao walked in front of everyone with a gong in his hand, and struck it three times, and everyone was shocked by the deafening sound of the gong, and their eardrums hurt a little, but they didn't dare to speak, and they frowned.

The few remaining wonderful people who had not yet arrived heard the sound of the gong and walked out of the courtyard slowly.

"What's going on?" all three of them had obvious impatience on their faces, obviously very dissatisfied with Lin Miao's behavior of disturbing them with a gong.

"I'm wondering, why did everyone come to gather, why didn't the three wonderful people come for a long time?" Qingyu unceremoniously sarcastically mocked the three wonderful people who arrived late.

"Did you say you wanted to gather?" Bian Yiyan was the first to rush into the courtyard, and at that time she was completely engrossed in picking a room, and she didn't hear anything about the gathering.

"Yu Miaoren, repeat what you just heard. Qingyu did not hesitate to designate Yu Suhua as the spokesperson.

Yu Suhua paused for a moment, then listened to Lin Miao's words instead, repeating what she had heard: "An hour later, gather here." Yu Suhua also pointed to the ground under his feet when he spoke.

"We didn't hear that!" Nanfichen hurriedly argued.

"Don't make those useless excuses, the reason why you can't hear it is because you are not vigilant! This is Jinbi City, not your comfortable and comfortable home, there are murderous intentions hidden everywhere, you are so careless, do you know how many people have died unexplained because they are as careless as you, before they have seen the Holy Lord?!" Qingyu widened her eyes and viciously lectured at the three careless wonderful people.

Bian Yiyan listened, and sat on the ground in fright.

"Wonderful people, don't blame us for not being humane, we are also looking at the adults behind you to say this to you, if you are an ordinary show girl, we absolutely don't care, as for whether you are dead or alive has nothing to do with us, you know, there will be people here every day who die unexplained, we don't dare to meddle in things, I wish you can be careful and careful, in this deep palace, as long as there is a slight sexual error, you will lose your life!" Lin Miao put down the gong in his hand, walked back and added the most fatal sentence to the crowd in a serious tone.

"You have to remember everything that the two of us are teaching you now, so that you can live longer in this deep palace. "Qingyu's face is like frost, and her sharp tone is lined with this cold wind and ice, everyone is crazy.

"Please be careful, remember every word of every beauty or lady who is higher than you, sometimes you can push yourself to the Yellow Springs Road if you miss a word, as long as you are careful enough, you can save your life at a critical time. Qingyu paused, glanced at the second people who were listening carefully, and put the right to speak back into Lin Miao's hands.

"Okay, that's all for today, remember to go to Fengyutang at noon tomorrow, Du Xingguan, who is in charge of Changle Palace, who manages Fengyutang, is much stricter than us," Qingyu's voice just fell, and Lin Miao continued to make further additions at the end of the conversation.

"In addition, Bian Miaoren, Nan Miaoren, and Fu Miaoren, the three of them will go to Fengyutang and the cleaning officer Ye Gonggong at about two o'clock tomorrow morning to report. Lin Miao didn't forget the three who were late.

"Why?!" the three wonders asked in unison.

"This is a punishment for you being late today! Let you remember the fatal mistake you made today, as for these little Gong'e around you, let me help you change it, you three go to the Huanyi Bureau to report now!" Lin Miao seems to be gentler than Qingyu, but when it comes to doing things, she doesn't lose Qingyu's momentum at all.

"Auntie, spare us once!" The three little palace ladies knelt on the ground with a plop, begging Lin Miao with tears in their eyes.

"Rao, as the personal palace maid next to the master, carelessness will bury the master's life sooner or later, leaving you alive is already extraordinarily gracious, no matter how much you do entanglement, you will be killed directly! Come on, drag it down!" Lin Miao unequivocally recruited people and dragged the three little palace ladies down.

"Masters are also tired, go back and rest, it's windy outside, don't go out, just bake the fire in the house honestly!" said Qingyu and Lin Miao about to leave.

"Aunt Qingyu!" Lu Huiyan took two steps forward and stopped Qingyu.

"What happened to Lu Miaoren? Qingyu and Lin Miao both stopped at the same time.

"Auntie, I think the house in the North Courtyard is relatively large, can I move to this Courtyard with Zheng Miaoren? Lu Huiyan is so hearty that he doesn't procrastinate when he says anything, he pretends to be twisted.

"Yes. Qingyu thought for a while, and thought that there seemed to be nothing wrong, so she nodded and agreed to Lu Huiyan's request, and then turned to everyone and asked, "Do you still have people to move?"

Everyone shook their heads, and Qingyu saw that there was nothing to manage, so she and Lin Miao left Hexiu Garden.

Mo Chenghuan returned to the house, and as soon as he sat down for a while, someone sent charcoal fire over, Jin Su was very smart, and before Mo Chenghuan could speak, she went over and lit the fire herself.

"Jinsu, how many years have you been in the palace?" She just entered the palace and didn't know anything about the together, and she had no relatives or reason, so she had to understand the situation in the palace a little, otherwise it would be difficult to move an inch.

"Back to the master, the slave and maid have been in the palace for two years, and it will be three years in the summer," Jin Su returned without lifting the head of the stove.

"Which other masters have you followed before?" Mo Chenghuan asked again as he drank hot tea.

"I haven't followed, these palace maids who came today are all new to the master, but I am more special, I have been staying by Aunt Qingyu's side for the past two years," Jin Su had already become angry while speaking, and quietly walked behind Mo Chenghuan.

"How much do you know about the things in this palace?" Mo Chenghuan no longer had any hope, after all, this Hexiu Garden was on the edge of Jinbi City, and it was understandable that he was not well-informed.

"Not much, I guess it's about the same as what you know from the master, I'm sorry I can't help the master. As soon as Jin Su was smart Mo Chenghuan opened her mouth, she guessed Mo Chenghuan's intentions, and she couldn't help but blame herself in her heart.

"It's okay, don't blame yourself. Mo Chenghuan can also understand, he didn't plan to find any useful clues from this little Gong'e, after all, the opponent is so cunning, even if he deliberately checks it, he may not be able to find out anything, what can this little girl know.

While chatting, there was another knock outside the door, and Jin Su walked over to open the door.

"Who?" Mo Chenghuan, who was in the house, couldn't see the door, so she asked, she really couldn't imagine who would come over on such a cold day.

"It's for the master's belongings!" replied Jin Su.

"Let them in. ”

A few little eunuchs, under the leadership of Jin Su, carried a few large boxes in.

"Master, will you let this go?" Jin Su asked, pointing to a corner.

"Yes," Mo Chenghuan got up, walked to the box, opened one of the boxes, and lifted a robe covering the top, which was full of gold, silver and jewelry, and saw that Jin Su and a few little eunuchs looked straight at him.

"Do you know why I was able to bring these things into the palace openly?" Because her surname is Mo, she is the daughter of the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of the dynasty, and the only daughter of Mo Zhongxuan, the protector of the king, who is highly meritorious and has decreed that the direct descendants of the emperor should not die.

Among the show girls in the same period, she is the most powerful outside the palace, she should be the first, she shows these in front of these little palace eunuchs, not to show off, but to deter, she wants these people to know how big her background is, they will be willing to surrender to you.

Everyone knelt down in unison and said in unison: "You are a wonderful person, and you are the only daughter of the king!"

"Then do you know what to do?" Mo Chenghuan picked up a handful of jewels and said coldly with his back to everyone.

"As long as the wonderful person commands, the slave (slave maid) will definitely go to the soup and fight the fire!" everyone swore to Mo Chenghuan tremblingly.

"I don't need to go to the soup and go to the fire, I just want you to do your job well, don't talk too much, or meddle in other people's affairs, understand?" Mo Chenghuan meant very clearly, that is, let them be less involved in her affairs in the future.

"Slaves (slaves) must be remembered!"

"That's good. Mo Chenghuan turned around and turned around: "Take these and go." As he spoke, he handed the jewels in his hand to a few little eunuchs.

The little eunuch led by him looked at several people around him, and he didn't dare to stretch out his hand.

"If the wonderful person gives it to you, you will take it, is it possible that you still want to make the wonderful person angry again?" is that he also lowered his head and body like a sieve, but subconsciously conveyed the meaning for his master.

Everyone was terrified, and as a result, the jewel rushed out of the room.

After watching the eunuchs disappear, Mo Chenghuan waved his hand to let the soldiers get up, and when he saw it, he smiled, Mo Chenghuan couldn't help but suspect that Fang Cai's panic was all faked.

"I didn't expect you to cooperate so well. Mo Chenghuan couldn't be sure, so he had to open his mouth to test it.

"It is the duty of a slave and a maid to share the worries and solve problems for the master. He just didn't hesitate at all, and hurriedly explained.

"Oh, how did you see what I meant?" said that, proving that Jinsu only found out later that she didn't mean to embarrass them, and no matter where she could see her intentions, it showed that Jinsu was observant and careful.

"It's the sentence 'I don't need to go to the soup and fire'......" Jin Su lowered his head, not daring to look at Mo Chenghuan again.

Mo Chenghuan was stunned, this girl is really smart, she can wake up in such a short time when she is frightened, but the smarter the person, the more careful she must be, otherwise she may bring disaster to herself if she is not careful.

"You've got a good brain. Mo Chenghuan nodded and smiled unknowingly.

When Jin Su saw it, his face immediately changed, and he hurriedly knelt down: "The master spares his life, it is the slave and the maid who are smart! ”

"You don't have to be so nervous, you know your own situation, I won't blame you for this, and I won't replace you, I'm just a newcomer to the deep palace, I don't dare to reuse too smart people, if you really follow me, show some sincerity, otherwise I will be lucky enough to meet a good master in the future, and I won't blame you for going with her, but you don't blame me for not being able to trust you too much now." This is Mo Chenghuan's sincere words, but it also contains temptation in it, if this Jinsu is smart enough, when he hears these words, he will naturally plan for himself, whether it is true or false, I believe that the answer will be known soon.

"Miao Ren can tell the truth to the slave maid, it means that Miao Ren is willing to believe in the slave maid, in order to repay the wonderful man for this heart, the slave and the maid should do their best, let the wonderful man see the sincerity of the slave and maid!" Jin Su did not dare to relax his vigilance, at this critical moment, not only the master was testing the slave, but the slaves were also observing the master's situation.

"That's good, I'm a little hungry, help me get some food. Mo Chenghuan waved Jin Su away, looked at the simple room by himself, and fell into a long contemplation.
