Chapter 3: Cining Palace

The hour has passed, and the sky will be bright. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Zhang Wan, who stood in front of the window for half the night, turned around and lay back on the bed, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

Half an hour later, the sky was still hazy, but the door of the wing room was pushed open from outside.

Mother Li, who was standing at the door, looked at the girls in the room who were still a little sleepy, and couldn't help but shake her head.

These little girls, I'm afraid they are all children who have grown up pampered at home.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to get up. If you wake up late, I am afraid that today's breakfast will be gone. After saying that, Mother Li stood aside, looked at the girls in the room coldly, and dressed and freshened up.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the girl with Naliso was already dressed up and ran out of the door in a hug.

Zhang Wan, who was walking at the end, looked down at her clothes, and saw that the room was empty in a blink of an eye, so she raised her feet and walked towards the door.

"Miss Wan, stay and stay. Zhang Wan just stepped out of the room, but she didn't want to be stopped by Mother Li, who was already waiting aside.

"Mother Li," Zhang Wan blessed her according to the rules she learned yesterday. "I don't know if you called Wan'er, but something?"

Zhang Wan has no special impression of this mother Li, who strictly requires the show girls to learn the rules. At this time, she couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw that the other party stopped her.

"Miss Wan, you have a wonderful eye and a natural temperament, but now the water in the palace is deep; girl, before you fly in Fengfei for nine days, you still need to be low-key and restrained. ā€

After Mother Li whispered quickly, she didn't stop, looked straight ahead, and left quickly.

Is it more low-key and restrained? Zhang Wan was slightly stunned. Since she entered the mortal world, although she came to this palace by mistake, however, in the past two days, although she has not deliberately forbearance and low-key, she has never acted in a high-profile manner.

At this time, what did Mother Li's kind reminder mean? Zhang Wan paused for a moment, and then thought of a transparent white.

The complexion can be hidden, and the eyes are difficult to change.

It seems that in order to avoid extraneous branches in the red world, she should change some habits.

Zhang Wan, who figured it out, immediately lowered her eyes and hid the agility of the autumn water.

…………………………………………………………………………………

In Cining Palace, although it was not dawn at this time, the fifteen-year-old prince Zhu Youzhu had already gotten up and waited in front of the Empress Dowager Zhou's bedroom.

Zhu Youzhang, who grew up in Cining Palace since he was a child, naturally knows the living habits of the Empress Dowager Zhou.

At this time, he saw that the Empress Dowager Zhou had finished freshening up, so he automatically stepped forward to hold the arm of the imperial grandmother and walked outside the dormitory.

"Imperial grandmother," Zhu Youzhu looked at the sky outside that was not yet bright, and couldn't help but frown. "It's still early, why don't you stay in bed?"

"Silly child, say stupid things!" Although she was full of white hair, she was still red and energetic, and shook her head with a smile, and let her grandson help her to the soft collapse of the side hall.

Today is the first day of the new year, and all the palace concubines will come to her Cining Palace to say hello. As the queen mother, if she appeared later, wouldn't it make the people in the palace secretly guess?

"Son, it's not too early, you should also go to the Wenhua Palace. Empress Dowager Zhou put down the tea cup that gargled her mouth, looked at her grandson in front of her, and nodded with satisfaction.

Fifteen-year-old Zhu Youjiao, although he is still a young man, is becoming more and more calm in the end, and there is a hint of the majesty of the prince of a country.

Today's grandson, under the teaching of Mrs. Xie, can be said to have made rapid progress. Looking at such a filial and sensible grandson, the Empress Dowager Zhou smiled again.

Such a grandson has lived up to her for so many years, and under the hands of the poisonous woman of the Wan family, she has done everything possible to protect his life.

"Imperial grandmother, the hour is still early, and after you have breakfast, it is not too late for your grandson to go to the Wenhua Palace. Zhu Youzhu personally took the bird's nest porridge brought by the palace people on the side and squatted beside his grandmother.

"Grandmother, don't worry. If Master Xie knew that his grandson was late to fulfill his filial piety, he would definitely not blame his grandson. After speaking, Zhu Youzhu handed the spoon in his hand to his grandmother's mouth.

Empress Dowager Zhou smiled with relief, lowered her head to her grandson's hand, and swallowed a mouthful of bird's nest porridge.

.................................................................................................

Half an hour later, the concubines of the palace, who had already been dressed up according to the quality and carefully dressed, under the leadership of Wan Guifei and Queen Wang, walked into the main hall of Cining Palace in turn and saluted.

Empress Dowager Zhou, who was dressed in an apricot yellow and phoenix robe, sat upright, looking at the older concubines in the hall, she couldn't help but put away the love on her face, and nodded solemnly.

"Flat, give a seat. ā€

"Concubine, thank you Queen Mother. The concubines saluted again, and saw that Wan Guifei and Queen Wang had already sat down on the left and right, and then sat in their positions in turn.

After the palace maids of Cining Palace served tea in turn, Empress Dowager Zhou put down the tea cup in her hand and looked at everyone.

"The mourning family heard that this year's show girl has entered the palace, what do you old people in the palace think?" After speaking, Empress Dowager Zhou quietly looked at Queen Wang in the lower right,

This queen Wang was born in everyone, although this character is dignified and virtuous, but under the pressure of Wan Guifei's obscenity for many years, she is still too timid and cautious after all.

In this harem, Queen Wang, who has always been as transparent as an invisible person, saw the gaze cast by the Empress Dowager Zhou, and couldn't help but tremble and lowered her head.

Queen Wang knew that although she was nominally the queen of the middle palace, no one knew about this harem, and the real lord of the harem was the Wan Guifei opposite her.

At this time, although the Empress Dowager Zhou came over, if Concubine Wan didn't take the lead in speaking, she would not dare to speak rashly first.

Otherwise, once she offends the imperial concubine Wan, what awaits her in the future may not be as good as the former queen ---- Wu who is now in the cold palace.

When Empress Dowager Zhou saw Queen Wang's somewhat cowering and shrinking head, a trace of disappointment quickly flashed in her heart.

With the queen's temperament, it is no wonder that for so many years, in the emperor's harem, the imperial concubine Wan has to be alone.

It's just now, thinking of those show girls who have just entered the palace, a fine light suddenly flashed in the cloudy eyes of the Empress Dowager Zhou.

"Empress," this time, Empress Dowager Zhou named her name, "As the master of the Middle Palace, what do you think about this draft?"

This...... Queen Wang couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard this, the affairs of this harem have always been taken care of by Concubine Wan, what can she, the titular queen, think?

But now that the Empress Dowager Zhou has named her, if she doesn't open her mouth again, it will obviously not work. Thinking of this, Queen Wang sighed secretly before getting up to reply.

"After returning to his mother, this harem draft was first proposed by the concubine's sister. The concubine felt that this matter did not bother the two masters, and it was better to choose this matter......"

The sallow and haggard Queen Wang didn't finish speaking, but when she saw that the Empress Dowager Zhou had sunk her face, she couldn't help but sigh secretly and changed her tone.

"It's better to let the matter of this selection be discussed by several sisters in the palace. ā€

This daughter-in-law is difficult to do, and the royal daughter-in-law is even more difficult to do. can't offend the Empress Dowager Zhou, let alone the queen of Wan Guifei, and can only reply like this, in order to protect Mingzhe.

"Hmm. When Empress Dowager Zhou heard this, she lowered her head noncommittally and took a sip of tea, and when she raised her head again and spoke, her face was finally a little better.

"This draft into the palace is to open up branches for the royal family. You are all old people in the palace, so you should discuss it and be more dedicated. ā€

Somehow, everyone at the head heard the four words in the mouth of the Empress Dowager Zhou, and they were all shocked, and they couldn't help but bow their heads.
