Chapter 31: The First Conflict

Because Li Anyue and Ke'er were going to enter the palace the next day, and their mother-in-law was also preparing to go back to Anxi's hometown, so the four of them sat in the courtyard to eat, joking and chatting as usual, but they knew in their hearts that they were going to separate.

Li Anyue looked at these people in front of him, although he had known each other for a short time, his feelings seemed to be deeper, more innocent, and more like family than those who had known him for more than ten years.

I haven't seen the life in this palace, and I don't know if it's true on the TV series, but it must not be any better, the palace is more like a small society with a strict hierarchy, and I don't know if I can find some clues there.

It's been a long time since I've seen Shen Yue, and I don't know if he won't find her after he leaves. Will you be in a hurry if you can't find it? But what is it now?

That night, Li Anyue was drunk for the first time and seemed to say a lot, but she didn't remember it at all, but when she got up the next morning, everyone else looked like she couldn't help laughing, and refused to say no matter how Li Anyue asked.

"Ke'er, what's going on with this battle?" Before Li Anyue and Ke'er saw the palace gate, they saw all kinds of sedan chairs and carriages lined up from the palace to the street, and the people who got off the cars were also some gorgeously dressed people.

"These are all here to send the waiters, miss, I said that the people who come to the election are rich and powerful people, why should we come to join in the fun?" Ke'er said in surprise, trying to persuade Li Anyue to go back.

"According to what you say, if you don't have money or power, you can't choose a waiter!" Li Anyue gave her a roll of the eyes angrily.

"It's not that you can't choose, it's that if you choose, you can't choose it." The one who spoke was a peugeot-looking girl, probably sixteen or seventeen years old, a little taller than Li Anyue, wearing a water-blue shirt and a white long skirt, wearing a three-winged warbler feather hairpin, followed by two maids, and she looked like a rich woman.

"Ke'er, who is she?" Li Anyue looked at the woman who suddenly appeared and asked Ke'er beside her directly.

"Kerr doesn't know." Usually Ke'er listens to the gossip in the market, and she doesn't know what these young ladies look like.

"Hey! Are you two polite? Our young lady is talking to you! A bigger girl next to her couldn't help but scold them first when she saw them like this.

"Your master didn't speak, why did you get angry with a slave first! Your young lady is a young lady, and my young lady is also a young lady! As soon as Ke'er heard someone scolding Li Anyue, she immediately protected the lord and took out the momentum of bargaining in the vegetable market.

"You ......"

"Alright, Ke'er, don't worry too much, let's go." Li Anyue saw that the girl was angry and didn't want to make more trouble, so she pulled Ke'er and hurried away.

"Miss, why are you afraid of them, anyway, they will all be elected in the future, who is powerful is not necessarily, she ......"

"Shut up!" Li Anyue quickly interrupted her when she heard this, "Ke'er, remember, no matter where you are, if you want to survive with peace of mind, you must first control your mouth, and if you know it, you will know if the disaster comes out of your mouth!" ”

"Yes, Kerr remembers."

"Alright, let's go inside." Li Anyue didn't say much when she saw Ke'er's pitiful appearance, and pulled her to the registration office.

"Next!"

"Yes!" Li Anyue walked up in response and handed over a piece of paper, this is the official registration that Li Anyue asked Su Mufeng to get, although the information is fake, but the official seal on it is real, as for how he got it, it is a trade secret of others, Li Anyue didn't ask, and gave him a few more portraits of himself and the style of clothes.

"Are you Li Anyue? Anxi people? The middle-aged eunuch with Li Anyue's official status asked in a sharp voice.

"Yes."

"Let's go in, go that way." He glanced at her and reached out in the direction of his right.

"Well, thank you, father-in-law!"

"Next!"

……

Although it was the last day of registration, there was still a long queue from the palace gate to the outside until the end of registration at noon, and some women who failed to register in time dared to enter the palace gate even in the face of heavily armed palace guards.

"Miss, I can't imagine that these daughters who are usually weak and can't help themselves also have such a fierce side." Kerr looked at the group of women fighting the guards with some schadenfreude.

"Tsk, it's good that we came early." A woman dressed in light green on one side said to a woman dressed in pink on the other.

"yes, if it weren't for the distance from my home, I would have arrived a long time ago. But it's better than people who can't even enter the palace gate. The woman in pink chuckled, her voice not just harsh.

"Everyone, follow me!" The father-in-law who had closed the official registration before glanced at the woman dissatisfiedly, and took the lead to walk inside with an unhappy face.

"Miss, why are the people here so scary?" Ke'er tightly pulled Li Anyue's sleeve and followed behind.

"You just have to remember what I told you before."

Li Anyue and Ke'er walked at the back of the line, first, they could better observe the palace and didn't have to go in such a hurry; The second is that you don't have to squeeze in the middle to listen to those women chattering and discussing.

"Wow, it's the first time I've entered the palace when I've grown so big, the palace is so big." But he couldn't stop the person next to him from sighing all the time, and Li Anyue's face was black.

As the father-in-law had been walking on the straight palace road, the palace road was very wide, with high walls on both sides, and a gold and jade tile roof on the top, and he walked all the way for a few minutes, until he turned into a palace gate, and his eyes were instantly open.

"Okay, the first few batches of servants before you have been selected, and you are the last batch, so do as you are told, and don't do too much." The father-in-law glanced at it with a sharp voice, "Now that you are lined up one by one, the first round of the draft will begin, and those who read their names should stand in front of them." Those who say they will stay will stand on the right, and those who say they will not stay will stand on the left. ”

"He Jiayan! Stay! ”

"Lin Jiaofeng! Don't stay! ”

"Ouyang Qinyan! Don't stay! ”

……

"Chen Ke'er! Stay! ”

"Li Anyue! Stay! ”

"Yuwen Jiaojiao! Stay"

……

Two hours later, there were originally about 500 people, but in the end, only half of them remained, plus the two batches of people selected a few days ago, it is estimated that there are still about 1,000 remaining electors. This first round of the draft is just to look at the face, the father-in-law carefully examines the woman's appearance, listens to their voices, and measures the woman's hands and feet with a ruler.

"You can go back." The father-in-law pointed to the person on the left and waved his hand and stopped careging, and then pointed to the person on the right, "You are staying for the time being, but only those who have passed the etiquette exam are eligible to really stay in the palace, as for whether it is a palace maid or a concubine, it all depends on your creation." ”

"Even Aunt Wan and Aunt Wan, you should each assign these girls to take them, my father-in-law's voice will be hoarse." The father-in-law waved his hand to the two people standing beside him wearing purple and blue palace clothes, and then swayed away.

"It's hard work, father-in-law." The two bowed slightly.

"Congratulations. I am the person in charge of Chuxiu Palace, Lian Qianxi, you can call me Aunt Lian. Next to him is Wan Xiu, your Aunt Wan. From now on, I will teach you how to survive in the palace with Aunt Wan, and you will go to the service office later, check in according to the assigned room, and start formal training tomorrow. ”

"Yes, Auntie." Everyone responded in unison.

......As soon as the people dispersed, Ke'er hurriedly ran over and pulled Li Anyue.

"What did I tell you last night?" Li Anyue interrupted her with a black face as soon as Ke'er opened her mouth.

"Uh...... Sister, I'm really not used to it! Ke'er hesitated for a moment, changed her words aggrievedly, and came over to pull Li Anyue's sleeve again, "Little, sister, I feel so nervous now!" ”

"Poof, little girl, how old is it? What's there to be nervous about! Li Anyue couldn't help but feel pity and amusement when she saw this girl, and pulled her to line up at the service office.

"I don't know, I'm not used to it."

"Don't be afraid, isn't there still me?" Li Anyue shook her hand vigorously to show encouragement, and teased her with kind words for a while, before Ke'er smiled.

According to the order of the number plates, Kerr and Li Anyue were assigned to the same room, which made Kerr excited for a long time, and at the same time made Li Anyue speechless for a long time.

"Here it is." Li Anyue and Ke'er walked to the place where the servants of Chuxiu Palace lived, this room was at the very edge, surrounded by spotted bamboo, and on the left was the high palace wall.

There were six beds in the room, and three girls had already chosen their beds. Li Anyue and Kerr chose the two beds next to each other by the window on the right.

"Hello guys, we will live together in the future, I'm Zhang Lian'er!" On the same right bed, a girl dressed in pink and white clothes about the same age as Kerr greeted them cordially when she saw them come in, this girl had a pair of crooked eyes, and her smile was even more kind and cute.

The two girls opposite, Li Anyue recognized the two women who were talking at the palace gate before, and the two also greeted Li Anyue, among them, the woman in light green clothes is called He Yuying, and the woman in pink clothes is called He Yuzhu, and the two are cousins.

"Hello, my name is Li Anyue." Li Anyue also smiled and nodded at the three people in the room.

"My name is Chen Ke'er, you can call me Ke'er!" After getting used to the atmosphere of the palace, Kerr quickly returned to her previous lively appearance.

"I'm so happy, everyone looks like they get along very well, and we have to get along well in the future!" Zhang Lian'er pulled Ke'er, who was of the same age, to her side cordially and talked.

"Not necessarily, isn't there another person who hasn't come?" He Yuying pointed to the bed on her left.

"That's right, I seem to have seen it when I was in the service office, it's Lord Yuwen's daughter, called Yuwen Jiaojiao."

"Wow, Yuwen-sama's daughter, it must be very expensive."

Several girls of similar age got together and quickly became acquainted, making their beds and chatting.
