Zhao Yan sent the palace maids and eunuchs around her, leaving Bai Tan alone to serve, in order to say a few more considerate words to her cousin. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I was assigned to Yanxi Palace, but because of my cousin?" Zhao Yan asked the doubts in her heart.

Concubine An shook her head: "If you don't want to see me in Cining Palace, even if I want to, I have nowhere to ask for it." I only found out a while ago that it was the emperor who sent a message, saying that Yanxi Palace was deserted, so he assigned you to the Rong Concubine Palace. ”

Zhao Yan nodded slightly, she was lucky. The emperor probably valued Concubine Rong, so he pointed her to Yanxi Palace.

Concubine An looked at the side hall, although it was not very spacious, but the furnishings were not bad, she couldn't help nodding slightly, "But it's okay." Jingyang Palace is remote and deserted, and the emperor may not be able to go there once for several months. It's better to Yanxi Palace, it's close to the emperor's Qianqing Palace, the third elder brother has returned to the palace, and the emperor will always come to see it from time to time. Also, Concubine Rong's temperament is also excellent, and it is safe to take care of her. ”

Listening to Concubine An chattering about such a large number, Zhao Yan was a lot more relieved. It's just that my cousin said that Cining Palace didn't want to see her...... My cousin didn't do anything wrong, but she was treated so coldly by Cining Palace...... Zhao Yan was somewhat unhappy in her heart.

"Cousin, is the emperor treating you well?" Zhao Yan couldn't help but ask.

Concubine An's face was a little cold: "The emperor has never treated me badly." I knew from the day I entered the palace that the emperor accepted me into the palace just to appease the Han military banner. ”

Zhao Yan couldn't help but be silent, although she knew that this was the case, she still asked without giving up.

An Concubine said lightly: "But that's fine, at least it's quiet and quiet." ”

Zhao Yan couldn't help but sigh lowly, "Cousin...... Didn't you think about competing for favor? Just like Hui Concubine, didn't you also introduce Wei's help?" - Wei Chang, the most favored person in the palace now, is a member of the Hui Concubine Palace.

It is said that Wei's was originally a rough palace maid of the Huanyi Bureau, and once sent the washed clothes to Hui Concubine, Hui Concubine's posture was getting old, and seeing Wei's beauty, she got her out of the Huanyi Bureau, arranged to be a palace maid by his side, and then recommended the emperor's pillow seat. Wei's was favored because of this, and Hui Concubine also lost a lot.

An Concubine couldn't help but groan, "Concubine Hui is thinking about the future of the eldest brother." What am I for?"

Zhao Yan was speechless.

Concubine An smiled: "I just live a cleaner life, there are many women like me in the palace, what's the big deal? Why bother?"

Yes, it is understandable to arrange palace maids to compete for favor, but the Wei family is from such a background, how can the Empress Dowager be happy?

Concubine An shook her head: "Using newcomers to fix favors is a common thing in the palace. But Concubine Hui is too imprudent in picking people. After a slight pause, he said: "But Wei's appearance is rare even in the palace, and Concubine Hui naturally refuses to miss it." ”

Zhao Yan was curious: "How beautiful is Wei?"

An Concubine looked at her little face with a smile, "You don't have to worry, Wei's beauty is beautiful, but it's too charming." Your appearance is just right. ”

Zhao Yan smiled heartily, "I know that the most important thing in the palace is beauty." ”

Concubine An called the palace maid Jingyin in, "I know, when you are at home, you like to drink Biluochun the most, and I am afraid that you will not be used to drinking Lu'an tea in the palace, so I specially brought you a can over." ”

Zhao Yan's heart warmed, and she was curious: "Aren't all the regular teas in the palace all Lu'an tea?

An Concubine glanced lightly, "There is good tea in the palace from the south." Just take the silver to the tea warehouse and exchange it. ”

Zhao Yan suddenly understood that although her cousin was not favored, after all, she stood firmly in the position of concubine, and her mother's family had to send silver over every year, so her life was not bad. Thinking of this, she was finally relieved.

The newcomer has just entered the palace, and he has not yet made a green head card, so he will naturally not sleep.

Yanxi Palace was quiet, and the first night was peaceful.

I woke up early the next day, and if I had changed to a different home, Zhao Yan would have to stay in bed for a while, but now that I entered the palace, I immediately got up. Su Ying brought the little palace maid in with hot water and served her to wash her face and change her clothes.

After grooming properly, Zhao Yan chose a Tianshui blue woven anemone pattern pennant dress, and after breakfast, she went to the main hall to greet Concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong smiled faintly and said, "Let's go to Jingren Palace first, say hello to the concubine, and then go to Yongshou Palace." The rest of the palaces will be slowly recognized in the future. ”

The concubine of Jingren Palace is Tong Jia's family, the cousin of Kangxi's relatives, and the Niu Hulu family of Yongshou Palace also enjoys the courtesy of the concubine, one of them is the first of the six palaces in the east, and the other is the first of the six palaces in the west, which can be said to be of equal status.

Jingren Palace is just to the west of Yanxi Palace, but it is also very close.

When I walked to the gate of Jingren Palace, I met a brightly dressed palace concubine, and a young and delicate concubine beside her, looking at the newcomer. The two of them seemed to have just come out of Jingren Palace.

Zhao Yan was curious about who the two in front of her were, and Concubine Rong had already spoken: "Sister Concubine came so early. ”

Zhao Yan suddenly knew in her heart, it turned out to be the concubine Hesheri, although the surname is Hesheri, but it can't be compared with the eight poles of Chengen's family, so the surname is the same. The concubine entered the palace very early, and her qualifications were equivalent to those of the concubine, but she did not have children.

Concubine Rong's complexion is a little more gorgeous than Concubine Rong, but after all, she is not young enough, she also smiled and said: "I specially brought Yuan Guiren to invite the concubine." As she spoke, she glanced at Zhao Yan, "This is the noble man of Guerjia, right? ”

Zhao Yan hurriedly bent her knees and made a thousand blessings: "Concubine Niangniang Jin'an." ”

Yuan Guiren, who was beside the concubine, also hurriedly saluted Concubine Rong, and Yuan said in a coquettish voice: "Concubine Rong is blessed." ”

Zhao Yan secretly looked at it a few times, and thought to herself, although this Yuan nobleman was able to enter the palace because of his father and brother, he didn't expect his complexion to be so outstanding. Yuan's waist is slender, his body is graceful, and his face is also charming, and he is moving.

Concubine Rong smiled and said, "Yuan Guiren is really a good color, and the harem will be lively." ”

The concubine covered her lips and smiled, "The noble person of Guerjia is even more beautiful!" praised it, and the concubine said again: "I will also take the noble Yuan to ask the lady of Yongshou Palace to say goodbye, so I won't talk to Sister Rong." Leave. ”

After the concubine left, Zhao Yan was invited into Jingren Palace with Concubine Rong.

Although Jingren Palace is adjacent to Yanxi Palace, the specifications of the palace are similar, but Jingren Palace is really much more luxurious than Yanxi Palace, the flower beds in front of the palace are widely planted with peonies and peonies, all of which are red and purple in the state of wealth and nobility, and the main hall is also gorgeous, and it should be furnished with either gold or jade.

Concubine Tong entered the palace in the twelfth year of Kangxi, and she was also a concubine for a few years before she was officially registered as a concubine. Now that she is over twenty years old, she is wearing a silver and red peony satin, full of pearls, and she is dressed very gorgeously. It's just that Concubine Tong's appearance is not stunning, and her face can only be regarded as exquisite. And the plainly dressed palace concubine standing beside Concubine Tong was like coagulated fat and hibiscus, very gentle and moving.

Zhao Yan followed Concubine Rong forward to see Wanfu, "Concubine Niangniang, the concubine brought the noble person of Guerjia to ask you for peace." ”

Concubine Tong glanced at Zhao Yan's face, and her eyes were full of complexity: "Yuan Guiren is charming and slender, but it makes Guerjia noble people beautiful and pleasant." ”

Zhao Yan had to be busy and said: "The concubine has won the award." ”
