On the first day of July in the eighteenth year of Kangxi, the auspicious day of the zodiac, it is advisable to relocate. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe weather was also very fine, taking advantage of the refreshing and pleasant morning, Zhao Yan went to the main hall of Yanxi Palace to say goodbye to Concubine Rong and moved to Zhongcui Palace.

The main hall of Zhongcui Palace is also five rooms wide, the main hall is open in the bright room, the palace is gorgeous and high, and it is not inferior to Yanxi Palace.

There are not many concubines in Zhong Cui's palace, in addition to her, who has just taken office, there are three concubines: Tong Guiren, Concubine Liu Shu and Yi Changzai.

Tong Gui and Concubine Liu Shu are both old people, and they are not a few years younger than Concubine Rong. Among them, Tong Guiren had given birth to Wan Huang and Yinyu two princes in his early years, but unfortunately many princes died in the early years, and the two children of Tong Guiren also died young, so they were not included in the tooth order. As for Concubine Liu, she is just a childless and unfavored old concubine, and her temperament is also taciturn.

The last Yi Changzai - she is not surnamed Yi, but surnamed Yi Ya, who belongs to the Five Banners of the Manchu Army, and is also one of the concubines who were selected into the palace in this year's draft.

Yi Changzai is only fifteen years old, it is a young and charming age, but it is a pity that there is Wei's national color in the front, and she and Yuan Guiren are favored by newcomers, so although Yi Changzai is charming and lovely, he is not favored, and he only sleeps once or twice a month.

Zhao Yan stayed in Zhongcui Palace, and three low concubines hurried to the main hall to say goodbye.

"The concubine asks for peace to the concubine Niangniang, the mother is blessed with Jin'an!" Tong Guiren, Concubine Liu, and Yi Chang bowed their knees to see Wanfuli in Qiqi.

Zhao Yan smiled and said with a free salute, "This palace has just arrived, and everything is not familiar yet. He looked at the nobleman again, and asked very kindly: "The nobleman has lived in Zhongcui Palace for many years, right?"

- The surname of the nobleman is Nala, and he has the same surname as Hui Concubine, but he can't fight with Hui Concubine Nala's eight poles. Although the nobles are Manchurian, their fathers and brothers have humble official positions, and their backgrounds are only a little better than those of palace maids, so their temperament is very Wendun, and they look good.

Tong Guiren said softly: "If you go back to Niangniang, the concubine entered the palace in the ninth year of Kangxi, and she has lived in Zhongcui Palace for nine years. ”

Zhao Yan nodded: "It was indeed a long time. You should live in the east side of the hall, right?" - The east side of the hall is more noble than the west side of the hall, and the position of the nobles is good to live in the east.

Tong Guiren nodded: "The concubine lives with Sister Liu in the East Side Palace. ”

Zhao Yan was full of doubts: "Why is Concubine Liu squeezed together with you?" - the side halls are all three rooms wide, one bright room and two secondary rooms, although the second room can be used as a bedroom, and two concubines can live. But the position of a nobleman should not need to be crowded with other concubines.

Tong Guiren didn't answer her words, but said: "It's been three months since Concubine Liu moved to the concubine's house. ”

Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, wasn't it exactly three months before the newcomer entered the palace? At that time, Yi Changzai had just moved into Zhongcui Palace, and then Concubine Liu Shu moved in with the nobles...... Hehe, think about it with your toes and know what's going on.

Zhao Yan glanced at Yi Changzai lightly: "Isn't there also a side hall on both sides of the apse?" - what are you doing robbing Concubine Liu's house so idle?

Yi Changzai didn't look ashamed, but smiled and said, "Where is the apse as spacious as the front hall?"

Yes, the specifications of the apse are indeed inferior to the front hall, both in width and depth, and they are smaller. If the main hall of the apse is better, but the side hall is ...... It's a little narrower, indeed. Moreover, the garden in the front hall area is spacious, and it is easier to enter and exit.

But no matter the main hall of the front hall or the main hall of the back hall, it has to be above the concubine position to be qualified to live, Yi Changzai naturally has no courage to trespass, and the position of the noble person is higher than her, so she went to rob Concubine Liu Shu's west side hall.

Picking up soft persimmons and pinching, there are really a lot of eyes!!

In her palace, there is such a troublemaker, it seems that she is annoyed.

"Hongu understood. Zhao Yan raised her eyebrows, looked at the taciturn Liu, and asked her, "Does Concubine Liu like to drink Lu'an melon slices?"

Concubine Liu Shu was stunned for a moment before replying: "I naturally like it." In the past, the nobles gave her monthly tea, but there were not many monthly teas for the nobles, and it was enough for one person to drink, but it was a little tight for two people to drink.

Zhao Yan nodded: "This palace doesn't like the smell of Lu'an tea very much, and the Lu'an tea of this palace will be given to you in the future." Compared with the Longjing before the rain, Lu'an tea is naturally inferior. Anyway, she didn't lack tea to drink, so she simply gave it to Concubine Liu Shu. After all, she will be from her own palace in the future, and the headquarters can watch her being bullied, but she won't stretch out her hand, right?

Concubine Liu Shu looked flattered, and she hurriedly said, "Thank you for your love." ”

Yi Changzai's little face suddenly became a little unhappy, and she pouted and said, "Niangniang, the monthly tea needs to be noble, concubine...... There is no monthly tea to drink. ”

Zhao Yan smiled and raised her eyebrows: "Of course this palace knows!"

The meaning is obvious: I know, but I just won't give it to you!

Looking at Zhao Chang's smile, Yi Changzai suddenly became angry, and his little face turned blue.

Tong Guiren said with a smile: "In the past, Zhongcui Palace has never had a main position, but now there is a mother, which is really a blessing for concubines and others." ”

At this moment, the nobles are finally at ease, the concubine is so favored, and she is willing to take care of the little-known Concubine Liu Shu, with such a dominant position, the future life will be much better.

Tong Guiren was so flattering, Zhao Yan was very comfortable in her heart, but Yi Changzai pursed her lips, as if she was disgusted with Tong Guiren's flattery.

Zhao Yan simply ignored Yi Chang's existence, looked at his palace with a smile, and said to the nobles: "This Zhongcui Palace looks clean and neat, and the decoration is also very good. ”

Tong Guidao: "That's because Niangniang is going to move in, so the Internal Affairs Office deliberately picked it up." The Soviet-style painting of the eaves of the temple is repainted, and the walls are repainted. The carpets and curtains have just been replaced. In addition, the furniture in the main hall has also been added to it. ”

Zhao Yan said secretly, no wonder, she felt that many of the furniture in the main hall were very new, and they turned out to be brand new. Stretched out his hand and stroked the Taiping elephant ornament on the red high table next to him, it was actually carved from a whole piece of green and white jade, although it was not as expensive as white jade, but such a large piece of jade was really valuable, not to mention that there was one on the left and one on the right, which was a pair.

It seems that being favored is particularly beneficial.

This pair of "peaceful elephants" alone is worth a thousand gold. She remembered that Concubine Rong also had a pair of peaceful elephants, but they were only enamel.

The so-called "Taiping has an elephant", that is, an elephant carries a bottle on its back, as if it means "auspicious", the bottle is "Taiping", and then the elephant is originally the embodiment of strength, longevity and intelligence, so there are such ornaments in many palaces.

Secondly, the large screen behind her is also brand new, which is carved from the yellow rosewood of the South China Sea, and a picture of a rich peony is embedded with luodian on it, and the color of luodian is elegant, so that it is much more gorgeous than the painting.

This is the main hall of the Zhongcui Palace, the door of the hall is open, and the warm breeze outside the hall and the fragrance of the lotus flower come from the pavement. ——On the platform outside the main hall, there are two blue and white porcelain vats, in which water lilies are planted, and now in the summer season, the water lilies bloom very well, and their fragrance is also refreshing.

After a few words, Zhao Yan was about to slowly appreciate her new palace, so she opened her mouth to tell the three nobles to retreat. But at this moment, the shrill voice of the eunuch came from outside: "The emperor has arrived—"
