"In addition to this concubine and Wen Shuyi, there are other concubines in this Jingyi Palace?" Qi Zheng moved forward and asked in a blink of an eye.

Qing Chu followed behind and responded: "Back to the master, out of the master and Shuyi concubine, as well as Zhou Cainu of the Pearl Hall and Yang Cainu of Xixiatai, the two Cainu have lived in this Jingyi Palace for three years, the emperor rarely comes here, and now he is only a girl, compared to the same show girl Yin Guifei and Hua Guifei Niangniang, the status in this palace is needless to say." ”

Qi Zheng stopped, "In this way, Wen Yue should be the person with the highest grade in this Jingyi Palace, and I was a little worried that she would be bullied by a high position here, but fortunately, there are only two picking girls, but when I first came to this palace, I led the palace maids to see me Wen Yue, I don't know what those two picking girls think, although I and Wen Yue's grades are above them, it is not too reasonable, I should visit them first, and I will go with Wen Yue tomorrow." After thinking about it, he turned to Qingchu and Wangxue and said, "Let's go back." ”

Although Qingchu and Wangxue were a little puzzled, they still nodded in response and followed Qizheng back to the hall.

Qi Zheng sat in the hall, looking around, except for the two palace maids, there was no one else, 'In the future, I will wait here for my fate, even if it is a lonely lamp on the cold wall, I only hope for a trace of quiet. ’

"Sister." The voice came from outside the door, followed by a burst of footsteps, and after a while, Wen Yue came to the door, dressed as a palace concubine, as if reborn, more beautiful and moving, the white jade step on the head was particularly eye-catching, followed by a palace maid, seeing Qi Zheng, blessed.

Qingchu forgot Xue hurriedly stepped forward to ask for peace: "Wen Shuyi is auspicious." ”

Qizheng stepped forward and owed, and Wen Yue immediately held Qizheng: "Why is my sister still polite to me." As he spoke, he pulled the Qi Zheng and walked to the couch in front of the hall and sat down, and looked at Qing Chu and Wangxue and said, "No courtesy." ”

"Xie Shuyi." Qingchu got up and retreated to serve tea, while Forget Xue stood aside and waited.

"Sister, it seems that you two girls are very well-behaved." Wen Yue said with a smile.

Qi Zheng glanced at the palace maid standing next to Wen Yue: "Isn't yours the same, why is there only one?" ”

Qing Chu brought the tea, Wen Yue picked up the teacup, blew the tea foam, did not drink it, lightly put the teacup on the table, and said with a smile: "Her name is Yan'er, and she seems to be very close to me, so she simply let her serve her closely, and the others are left in the dormitory." ”

After a pause, he said: "By the way, sister, is this step shake good-looking, Xiao Tangzi said that it was rewarded to me by the emperor." ”

Qizheng looked at the magnolia flowers on Wen Yue's bun, and shook slightly: "The emperor's reward is naturally good-looking, by the way, Yue'er, you are now Shuyi, you can no longer call yourself me, you must call yourself this concubine." ”

"Fortunately, my sister reminded me, I ......." Wen Yue suddenly said, "This concubine almost forgot the palace rules given by my aunt the year before. ”

Qizheng took Wen Yue's hand: "Also, although we are sisters, we have different ranks, and if there are others in the future, salutes are indispensable." ”

Wen Yue nodded: "Then, if there are other people here, I won't stop my sister from saluting, but if it's just the two of us, these will be avoided." ”

Qi Zheng took a sip of tea, and then said: "By the way, I just heard that Qing Chu said that there are two other girls in this palace, so let's visit together tomorrow?" ”

Wen Yue nodded: "Well, then tomorrow after lunch, the concubine will come to my sister to go together." ”

"Master, it's time to pass the meal." Qing Chu leaned over and said.

Qizheng bowed her head slightly and looked at Wen Yue: "Yue'er, why don't you eat here together." ”

Wen Yue looked outside the door and said with a smile: "It's okay." Then he commanded: "Yan'er, you go back first and tell Caiju that they don't need to eat, and this concubine is here to accompany Fu Xiaoyi to eat." ”

"Yes." Yan'er owes a debt and retreats to pass the word.

Qizheng pulled Wen Yue to get up and walked into the dormitory, sat down at the table, Qing Chu and Wangxue retreated to pass the meal, and only Qi Zheng and Wen Yue were left in the dormitory.

"Sister, when I was a show girl, I was looking forward to being canonized one day earlier, so that someone could serve me and live a comfortable life, but today is only half an hour, and I feel uncomfortable, and even our sisters are a little more restrained when they speak." Wen Yue sighed and said helplessly.

Qizheng shook his head lightly: "This is the palace, how can you be at ease, living here will miss the days at home even more, carefree." ”

Qing Chu and Wangxue led a few palace maids to bring the meal, looking at the table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, Wen Yue smiled: "I didn't expect that the imperial kitchen skills of Jingyi Palace are also good, and they have made so many tricks, and this pastry looks like it tastes extraordinary." "Text

Yue pointed to a plate of pastries in front of her with chopsticks, and Yan'er hurriedly stepped forward and put a piece into Wen Yue's bowl.

"This is called Jade Cake, and only the imperial chef in the palace can make it." Qi Zheng laughed.

"This concubine has never eaten such a delicious pastry, sister, you can also taste it." Wen Yue said.

Qing Chu hurriedly stepped forward to grab the pastry, Qi Zheng waved his hand: "No, the jade cake is a little sweet, my sister has always disliked sweets." ”

Wen Yue put down her chopsticks and said curiously: "Sister, have you eaten this jade cake, isn't this cake only available in the palace?" ”

"Last time on my grandfather's birthday, the emperor specially instructed the imperial chef to cook a birthday banquet for my grandfather, and among them was this pastry. Qi Zheng said lightly, turned his eyes to Qing Chu, and ordered: "In the future, if only this concubine eats alone, let the dining room not have to serve jade cakes." ”

"Yes." Qing Chu answered.

After dinner, Wen Yue also went back to the palace, and Qizheng sat and meditated.

"Master, the slave maid goes to prepare a hot bath for the master, the master rests early, although it is deserted these days, after a few days to receive the jade card, the master's green head card will be presented to the emperor, the master is naturally beautiful, the emperor will definitely favor the master." Forget Xue stood aside and said.

Qizheng nodded lightly, and Forget Xue retreated to prepare, Qizheng walked to the bronze mirror and sat down, and when Qingchu took off his outfit, he quietly looked at the mirror without makeup.

After lunch, Qizheng sat in the hall and waited for Wen Yue to go to place the two girls together, and waited for a long time to see Wen Yue coming, thinking that maybe there was something in Luomei Tai that Wen Yue couldn't get rid of, so he took Qing Chu to go first, leaving Forget Xue in the dormitory, so that Wen Yue came to visit first.

Walking to the Pearl Palace, the palace maid in the hall informed Zhou Cainu that she was not there, so Qi Zheng took Qingchu to the sunset platform and stood in front of the palace gate.

"Xiaoyi concubine, our master just went to the new Wen Shuyi with Zhou Cainu, and the master said that he would go to place Xiaoyi's concubine later, and the concubine will go back first." The palace maid of the sunset terrace owes and said.

When Qi Zheng heard this, he didn't think much about it, but walked to Luomeitai, and when he walked to the front of the temple, he heard a voice from inside.

"Sister Shuyi just entered the palace and sealed Shuyi, it is enough to see the emperor's love for her sister, and her sister will be favored in the future, but she has to say a few words for her sister in front of the emperor." Zhou Cai said.

Yang Cainu then echoed: "Yes, yes, although Sister Shuyi's background is the same as ours, but who said that only everyone in this palace can stand on the beauty, and my sister can be named Shuyi, but it gives us concubines with a slightly inferior background a long face." ”

"The two sisters don't have to be so polite, everyone is in the same palace, so they naturally have to take care of each other." Wen Yue said with a smile.

"My sister is so virtuous, no wonder the emperor will hand-pick my sister to be selected, and reward Bai Yu Busha, unlike those pretentious celebrities, I heard that Tong Xiaoyi of Wanfu Palace broke the vase in the hall as soon as she lived in the hidden platform, and also alarmed the princess of Wanfu Palace, but the concubine did not punish her, presumably for the sake of the governor's daughter's family background." Yang Cainu said.

Qi Zheng, who was standing outside the door, was a little surprised, "Why do these two pickers know everything about what happened in the palace, and even know about the fact that Shujin broke the vase and her family history." Qi Zheng cut down and thought, but was interrupted by a voice in the temple.

"Sister Shuyi, I heard that Sister Shuyi has a close relationship with Fu Xiaoyi of Zhaoxuan Palace, Fu Xiaoyi is the daughter of Fu University, she is from a famous family, my sister has to be careful." Zhou Cainu spoke slowly.

Wen Yue was a little puzzled, and said lightly: "The two sisters are too worried, this concubine and Fu Xiaoyi are like sisters, why be careful." ”

"Sister Shuyi is so kind, my sister is naturally worried about my sister, how can there be a sister in this deep palace, I don't know my heart, my sister treats Fu Xiaoyi as a sister, and I don't necessarily want Fu Xiaoyi to treat Sister Shuyi as a friend." Yang Cainu said.

Qing Chu stood behind Qi Zheng and whispered, "Master, how can they say this about the master." ”

When Qi Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "This palace is really warm and cold, the world is hot and cold, and gossip is unavoidable. Fu smiled and said: "I didn't expect the concubine Shuyi to be so lively here, it seems that Qizheng is late, and I didn't hear the interesting story that Sister Cainu just said, it's a pity." Qi Zheng said that, with a slight smile, he moved to stand in front of the door......
