On the first day Pan Chen entered the palace, he figured out the system of the harem, the first emperor Qi Zhengyang left a main house lady Yan, after Qi Zhengyang ascended the throne, she was the queen, and now Qi Zhengyang is dead, she is the queen mother, Qi Zhengyang left three concubines, and now they have all become concubines, Qi Zhengyang has not selected a show girl during his reign, most of the palace maids, grandmothers, and eunuchs in the palace have been able to stay after rounds of screening, and a small number of them are newly recruited from outside the palace, and the new emperor Qi Mozhou now has four little wives, Because Pan Chen has not yet been bedridden, he is not qualified to meet these core forces in the palace for the time being.

Pan Xiao lives in Changle Palace, it is said that Changle Palace is the residence of Lin Guifei, the favorite of Emperor Ningguo in the previous dynasties, luxuriously furnished, like the Moon Palace, is a major attraction in the palace, Pan Chen has the heart to take a look, but his status is limited, if he is not summoned, he can't go anywhere.

She was placed in the Roufu Palace, not far from the Changle Palace where Pan Xiao lived, the scale is far less than the Changle Palace, so luxurious, but although the sparrows are small, the five organs are complete, the infrastructure and construction are much better than the place where Pan Chen lives in the Pan family, a very large courtyard, looks a little empty, if there is a chance in the future, Pan Chen wants to take care of it a little, it should be good, a main hall, seven or eight ear rooms, the interior scenery is a bit monotonous, at a glance, you know that it is temporarily cleaned up, but Pan Chen doesn't mind, such an environment, It would be even more perfect if I could take the Liu family over and live with them.

There are six people serving in the Roufu Palace, two palace maids Yueluo and Xingshuang, two little eunuchs Zhang Neng and Li Quan, and two rough envoys.

Moonfall and Xingshuang are both eighteen years old, they look good, Yueluo is a melon seed face, willow eyebrows, thin eyes, when speaking, both hands always can't help touching the corners of their clothes, not very bold; Xingshuang is a small round face, looking very sturdy, talking to Pan Chen without squinting, should be a self-disciplined and determined girl, they are not old people left in the previous dynasty, not a few days after entering the palace, has been arranged in the miscellaneous affairs department, after Pan Chen entered the palace, he was transferred to the Roufu Palace, from now on he will be responsible for Pan Chen's life and living in the Roufu Palace, if other people enter the palace and temporarily transfer people from the miscellaneous affairs department, they will definitely feel neglected, but Pan Chen thinks it's very good, the two girls are smiling, and they smile when they see her, Whether it's true or not, it's always pleasant to watch.

When I first came to a place, Pan Chen used it to familiarize himself with the environment two days ago, and found that life in the palace was actually quite regular, the imperial dining room began to serve food at three o'clock, that is, five or six o'clock, the moon set or Xingshuang led a little eunuch to receive food, Pan Chen had no grace, he could sleep until seven or eight o'clock in the morning, get up at seven or eight o'clock, have breakfast, and then there was a lot of free time, you could go to the nearby garden to see, but you couldn't go far, Pan Chen asked about the safe distance, probably within a hundred meters around the Roufu Palace, you can't walk around, The reason is that he is afraid of colliding with a high-ranking nobleman......

As soon as she heard the words of the moonset, she knew that she was according to the script, and the one who taught her these must be the old palace maids and old eunuchs who brushed down from the palace in the previous dynasty, but she herself didn't know how to use her brain to think about it, it was indeed a taboo in the palace to bump into the nobles, but in today's harem, the occupancy rate of the houses is less than 30 percent, even if the nobles of each palace go out twice a day, there are twelve hours a day, 24 hours, with the usable area of the palace of 300,000 square meters, the chance of Pan Chen colliding with the nobles is very small.

However, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, no one can guarantee that one day it will really shine brightly, and there will be no mistake in following the rules in everything, this is the truth that Liu's body lì taught Pan Chen.

Fortunately, Pan Chen does not have many advantages, but it is one to endure loneliness, in fact, Pan Chen rarely feels bored, because she can always find something to do, just like she has been in the palace for more than half a month, and no one has summoned her or paid attention to her, but Pan Chen has not been left out at all, and he lives a regular and fulfilling life every day.

Yueluo and Xingshuang sat in the corridor to collect the soles of their shoes, and after a while, they looked up at Pan Chen, who was sitting on the stone steps and pounding wood with a knife.

"Sister Xingshuang, what has Niangniang been doing these two days? Always going back and forth to cut a wooden stick for something. ”

Xingshuang is five months older than the moonfall, the person is stable and real, the moon falls to the Roufu Hall and takes the initiative to recognize this sister, Xingshuang shook his head, expressing puzzlement: "I don't know what I'm doing, I said to cut for Niangniang, Niangniang didn't want to." I'm worried about what I can do if my mother hurts her hand. ”

After Xingshuang finished speaking, he thought about it, put down the upper of his shoe, came behind Pan Chen, squatted down and said:

"Niangniang, if you don't come as a slave, this is a knife, and if you turn around and hurt Niangniang's jade hand, we will all scold Aunt Lin."

Pan Chen compared a straight golden hairpin with the almost sharpened wooden stick in his hand, looked back at the worried Xingshuang, and said comfortingly: "It won't hurt, don't worry." ”

Xingshuang has been rejected several times, sighed helplessly, and smiled at the corner of Pan Chen's mouth, only feeling that this Zhaoyi Niangniang is very different from the few Niangniang she saw before, the other Niangniang are all high, freezing people to death in the soles of their feet, but their Niangniang, although their rank is not high, and they have no favor, but people are really very good to serve, basically there are no special requirements, and they are not as elegant as other Niangniang every day, sighing at the window, chanting poems or something, but tinkering with some things that people can't understand all day long.

Boldly asked Pan Chen, "What are you doing?" ”

"Sundial." Pan Chen replied casually.

There is no clock here, look at the time all by the sundial, there is a sundial four or five meters high on the Temple of Heaven outside the Taiji Hall of the Imperial Palace, but every time you look at the time, you can't run around, so Pan Chen wants to make one by himself, in fact, Pan Chen wants to do this for a long time, as a modern person with the law of time, you can't always judge what time it is by the sound of the watch, so I didn't think about it, and began to use the existing materials to do the handiwork.

Xingshuang was stunned and didn't speak, Pan Chen glanced at her, picked up a wooden plate on the ground that had not yet been scaled, and explained: "Sundial, it is used to watch the hour." ”

Now Xingshuang understood a little, and pointed in the direction of the Taiji Palace: "Is that the sundial on the Temple of Heaven?" ”

Receiving Pan Chen's nod of affirmation, Xingshuang looked at the small wooden stick in Pan Chen's hand in disbelief: "Niangniang, you are really powerful." This compliment is not confident, with a weak heart, full of distrust......

Pan Chen couldn't explain to her, and continued to cut the small wooden stick in her hand into a cylindrical shape, which must be as straight as a hairpin.

With each passing day, Pan Chen has been in the palace for more than half a year, from spring to autumn, no one has to pay attention to her, in the summer, Sun entered the palace to see Pan Xiao in the bitter summer, and by the way brought her some underwear, socks and insoles made by Liu, Liu's is worthy of being a mother, and she can do it accurately without seeing Pan Chen, but what warms Pan Chen's heart the most is that Liu's stuffed silver tickets in every underwear and socks, Pan Chen found out six, each of which is a denomination of fifty taels, so that Pan Chen can't help but sigh, in the end it is still good for his mother, Thinking that I hadn't seen the Liu family for a while, I missed it strangely.

The emperor has been living in the Taihe Palace for most of the year, and I haven't heard of who is favored in the harem, and this trend seems to continue, the queen mother has built a draft for the emperor many times, and the emperor has blocked it back with a sentence of 'filial piety to the father and son', the emperor is going to keep filial piety to the first emperor, the father of ordinary people is dead, and the son is filial piety for three years, Pan Chen estimates that the emperor will give the first emperor three years of filial piety, it is estimated that it is unreliable, and it is about the same for a year.

Pan Chen doesn't have a bed, it's the kind of incomplete procedures, he doesn't even have the opportunity to meet with other 'colleagues', no one will take care of a person with incomplete procedures, if the emperor can't think of her from now on, after ten or twenty years, maybe Pan Chen will become a nail black household in the palace, it is the kind of polar employee who is forgotten by the boss on the border, white-collar salary, and doesn't have to do anything, Pan Chen feels a little cool.

She transplanted two peach trees from the imperial garden, two osmanthus trees, and built a grape trellis, a spring and autumn passed, the branches and leaves on several trees all fell off, and even the grape vines that flourished in the summer withered, entangled on the shelves, looking at a different depression, Pan Chen still had a lot of things to do in her head, but unfortunately, she had no status in the palace, and there were many things that even if she asked for them, the Inner Court Division would not necessarily do it immediately, as if Pan Chen wanted to make a rocking chair and let the Inner Court Division find her a wheel, and said it several times, The Cabinet Division didn't send it to her.

Winter goes to spring, Pan Chen spent a year alone in the palace, his sixteenth birthday was spent with the moonset and starfrost around the fireplace at night, Pan Chen also tried to make cakes in the imperial dining room, but the eunuchs in the imperial dining room were unwilling to bother, and directly sent Pan Chen a plate of hair cakes, or no sugar, fortunately the moon fell in the spring when a jar of acacia nectar was hidden, and it was taken out in time to honor Pan Chen, so that Pan Chen's birthday had a sweet taste.

***

Qi Mozhou finished reading the last recital, stretched his back and stretched his waist, he was tall and sturdy, wearing a black dark dragon pattern placket, his appearance was handsome and extraordinary, but he was cold and stern, his eyes were deep and sharp, like an eagle soaring in the sky, and he had an insight.

Wang Fugui is the steward eunuch who serves by the side of the Queen Mother, and he is quite afraid of this young hero, and he does not dare to make any mistakes, and respectfully conveys the meaning of the Queen Mother, which is nothing more than a cliché and asks the emperor to agree to the draft.

Qi Mozhou leaned on the dragon chair, drinking tea while looking at the still controversial folds, after Wang Fugui finished speaking, he put down the teacup and hummed casually, his voice was calm and mellow, which made people feel a sense of oppression, Wang Fugui only felt cold sweat in his vest.

Qi Mozhou put down his fold and raised his hand to Wang Fugui, this is what it means for him to step down, Wang Fugui can't say it, and he really doesn't know how to convey the emperor's 'um' to the queen mother. I want to ask again, but I really don't have the guts, the emperor has been on the throne for a year, and he hasn't killed a few people, but the only few times are all because of the crime of 'talking too much'.

Therefore, everyone in the palace knows that the emperor doesn't like people who talk a lot, who dares to ask out loud when he shouldn't ask? It's not that it's long-lived.
