In the morning, after all the beautiful girls got up and freshened up, Dongmei led the Qizheng of Lanxia Hall to the backyard of Chuhui Palace. The Chu Hui Palace is a palace set up by the Ning Dynasty for the draft, which is divided into two courtyards, both of which are very spacious. The backyard is planted with trees and flowers, so it is also called a garden.

The show girls from the other halls were almost all there, and they all stood in a row with their voices and breathlessness, and they stood at the front. Aunt Nian stood in front, glanced at everyone, nodded and said: "Everyone is here today, then let's start learning the rules, first of all, the slave has to tell you the little master, this is the world of the Anchen family, the master will never be you, don't be delusional, you have to remember what your identity is, the palace has its own palace rules, look over there, Jingming Palace in the west corner, if you don't pay attention to it, it will be difficult to come out." ”

Qi Zheng glanced back at the northwest corner, a red wall and yellow tiles, and couldn't tell which palace was Jingming Palace, but it was not difficult to guess that it should be a cold palace where the concubines talked about it.

Aunt Nian walked back and forth in front: "The rules of the palace are based on respect and humility, recognize your status, okay, learn to walk and salute today, all the little masters were born in the house of the eunuchs, and they should all practice the etiquette, but the palace is not as good as the outside, this walk has to be practiced, you first walk to me one by one, start with you, before you go, tell me who your surname is." Aunt Nian looked at Xi Ying.

Xiying nodded, and owed slightly: "Little girl Chen Xiying." ”

Aunt Nian flicked her handkerchief forward and motioned for her to move forward.

Xi Ying walked step by step, like a green willow supporting the wind, walked a few steps, stopped and turned around, and stood with heavy eyes.

"Yes, it's just that the steps are too weak, you are a little master, not a slave, you don't need to be so cautious." Aunt Nian said, turned her head and pointed to Shujin, "You." ”

"Little girl Tong Shujin." Shujin walked forward without saying anything.

"Good, just unsteady on the foot, next."

Qi Zheng salutes: "Little girl Qi Zheng." Qi Zheng moved forward with his words, and every step was very steady.

"The steps are lighter, and the weight is a little unnatural."

Qi Zheng nodded and replied, "Yes." ”

It was Wenyue's turn, Qizheng, Xi Ying, and Shujin stood aside and watched.

"Little girl Wenyue." Wen Yue was a little nervous, and her feet trembled a little with every step.

Shujin, who was standing on the side, snorted, kicked a stone to Wen Yue's feet, turned his eyes sideways and smiled at Xi Ying.

Wen Yue looked ahead, suddenly stepped on the stone, did not stand firmly, fell to the ground, caused everyone to laugh, Qi Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to help Wen Yue, "Don't help, you can't even walk, how to be the imperial concubine." A loud voice came.

A delicate and dignified woman walked slowly, in a purple dress, and the steps on the cloud bun were swaying with tassels.

"Hua Guifei has arrived." The eunuch beside him shouted.

The show girl Qi Fu asked for peace, and Aunt Nian also saluted: "The concubine is auspicious." ”

"It's all free, Aunt Nian is bothered, these girls still have to pay attention to their aunts." Hua Guifei said nothing, walked in front of Wen Yue, Wen Yue fell to the ground, wanting to cry without tears.

"You stand up." Hua Fei said.

Wen Yuefu got up from the ground and blessed herself: "Say hello to my mother." ”

Concubine Hua turned around: "You will fall down after walking a few steps, what are your skills to gain a foothold in **?" It's better to be a palace maid. The tone grew heavier.

"Mother forgiveness." Wen Yue was terrified. Qi Zheng was suddenly very worried in her heart, "Yesterday, Concubine Yin sent Yunqing to the Huanshang Bureau, could it be that Concubine Hua will treat Wen Yue like this?" ’

"That's it, this palace doesn't have the leisure to teach you to walk, this palace is just here to take a look." Concubine Hua looked at the beautiful girls, walked in front of Qizheng, and said lightly: "What's your name." ”

"Courtier's daughter Fu Qizheng." Qi Zheng owed slightly.

Concubine Hua pondered for a moment: "This palace heard that this time the pearl of the palm of the cabinet scholar was selected as a show girl, and I am interested, the Fu family can give birth to such a beautiful daughter, but you are much more beautiful than your sister." ”

Qizheng calmed his head: "Niangniang has been lifted, how can Qizheng be able to reach Niangniang." ”

Concubine Hua was very happy: "The first emperor is quite important to Master Fu, how can this palace raise it?" ”

Concubine Hua looked at Xi Ying and the others on the side, and said, "Aunt Nian, where are these show girls from?" ”

Aunt Nian replied: "Back to Niangniang, the slaves and maids only know what their names are, but I don't know their family backgrounds. Then he looked at them and said, "Don't tell me your name soon." ”

"Courtier, Chen Xiying." "Courtier Tong Shujin." "Courtiers He Youzhu." "Courtiers Du Xirui."

Concubine Hua walked up to Xi Ying and said with a smile: "Let the palace love to guess, Chen family, but Chen Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry?" ”

Xi Ying nodded.

Concubine Hua looked at Shujin again: "Tong Yuan, the governor of Liangguang, was still my father's protégé at the beginning, and now his daughter is so old. ”

"The He family, is it Lord He, the servant of the household department?" Concubine Hua looked at Youzhu and asked.

Youzhu replied: "My father is He Heng, the king of Zhennan. ”

"It turned out to be a county lord, this draft can be described as a hundred flowers blooming, come here, bring things, and reward the three little masters of Qizheng, Shujin, and Xiying." Concubine Hua said with a smile.

The palace maid brought a few pieces of jewelry and gave them a gift to Qizheng, Qizheng, calligraphy, and stood in place after thanking them.

In the distance, under the trees, a master and a servant were watching here.

"Master, why didn't Concubine Hua give things to He Youzhu?" The palace maid said.

"You still don't see what she meant? What she is looking for is a strong family background, Fu Qizheng is the daughter of the Fu family, the granddaughter of Prime Minister Qin, if the concubine is not mistaken, Chen Xiying is the niece and granddaughter of Concubine Wei, and Tong Shujin is also the daughter of the governor of Liangguang, as for He Youzhu Although he is the county lord, the king of Zhennan is slightly better in status, but the south of the Yangtze River is far from the abyss of Beijing, if something really happens, will the king of Zhennan care about this daughter is still a mystery, of course she should be careful. The palace concubine beside her said lightly.

"Master, aren't we also here to pick people, Concubine Hua has picked everyone's ladies, let's pick a small jasper."

The palace concubine shook her head and raised the corners of her lips: "No, the person she Hua Yuqing has taken a fancy to, and this concubine has also taken a fancy to her, let's go over and take a look." Then he led the maid to the garden.

"In the future, they will all be their own sisters, remember to come to the palace more often." Concubine Hua looked at them and said with a smile.

"The concubine Niangniang was born in a famous family, so she is naturally willing to associate with everyone." The voice came, and Concubine Hua looked back at the person who came: "It turned out to be Concubine Zhen's sister." ”

Concubine Zhen approached, the show girls gave salutes, Concubine Zhen raised her hand to signal everyone to be exempted, and owed again: "Please say hello to the concubine." ”

Concubine Hua picked up Concubine Zhen and said with a smile: "Get up, my sister has lived in the deep palace for a long time and doesn't ask about the world, and this palace has been seeing my sister for a long time, how could my sister come here today?" ”

Concubine Zhen swept the show girl standing on the side in a blink of an eye, and then turned back to look at Concubine Hua: "What the concubine is here to do, the lingyi will come to do something, it's just that the lingyuan is different from the mother, and there is no reward. ”

Concubine Hua smiled first, then smiled, and said, "This palace is just passing by the Chuhui Palace to come in and have a look, there is no other meaning." "Niangniang walks around this palace with the things she is rewarding, and the Lingyi is even less than Niangniang." Concubine Zhen looked at the show girl, and said with a smile: "The reward of the mother has not been distributed yet, whether there is not enough manpower, it is better to let Ling Kite come to help the mother share the reward." ”

When Concubine Hua heard this, her face sank, she originally came to look for a faction of people, as for those useless people to reward useless, now Concubine Zhen is so targeted at her, she is in a dilemma, so she has no choice but to follow her wishes, and said with a smile: "Yes, this palace has brought so many pieces of jewelry, which is not enough to reward, which does not let Bizhu take some more, Bizhu, don't give it to other little masters." Concubine Hua finished speaking, and Yu Guang swept the palace maid Bizhu beside her.

"Mother." Bizhu looked at Concubine Hua and said helplessly.

"Didn't you hear, don't you want to reward it." Concubine Hua looked ahead and said sharply.

Concubine Zhen smiled in her heart, she won this battle again......

Qizheng looked up at Concubine Zhen next to Concubine Hua, full of curiosity, 'She neither flattered nor feared, but let Concubine Hua back down, with this courage, why is she still in the concubine position?' ’

Bizhu brought a brocade box, which was full of jewelry.

"Autumn pity." Concubine Zhen motioned to the palace maid next to her, Qiu Xi, to take the brocade box.

Qiu Xi took the brocade box in Bizhu's hand and gave the jewelry inside to the other show girls one by one.

The show girls looked at the things in their hands and talked about it.

Qiu Xi returned to Concubine Zhen after sending things, and Concubine Zhen turned sideways to look at Aunt Nian: "Aunt Nian has to tell everyone to take it away, this is the reward of the concubine." ”

"Yes." Aunt Nian replied, and looked at the beautiful girls again: "Don't thank Niangniang for the reward." ”

The show girls were blessed and said: "Thank you for the reward." ”

Concubine Hua was a little displeased, and said lightly: "Okay, my sister should return to the palace after rewarding the palace, otherwise the emperor will be displeased if he can't see the palace." After that, he looked sideways at Concubine Zhen and turned to leave.

Concubine Zhen smiled, bowed and said: "Congratulations to Niangniang, may Niangniang be like the flowers in this garden, red for a hundred days." ”

Concubine Hua gradually walked away, and Concubine Zhen said to Qiu Xi beside her: "The play is over, let's go back too." After saying that, he took Qiu Xi and left.

"Alright, let's move on." Aunt Nian walked to the front and said, and looked at Wen Yue who was standing on the side: "You stand back." ”

Wen Yue stood back beside Qi Zheng, lowered her head, and sobbed slightly.

Qi Zheng looked at Wen Yue and said lightly, "It's okay." ”

Wen Yue didn't speak, and shook her head lightly.

Aunt Nian instructed the palace maids to bring the bench and form a circle, and the show girls walked on the bench, and if they were not very careful, they would step on the ground and step on the ground.

After a day of practice, everyone was exhausted, and when they returned to the hall, Wen Yue sat at the table, constantly wiping her tears. Qizheng walked up to her and sat down: "Yue'er, are you still thinking about what happened just now?" ”

"Sister, I'm so scared, I'm afraid I'll be like Qing'er." Wen Yue said crying.

Qizheng took Wen Yue's hand and patted it: "Don't be afraid, isn't there still me, if something happens, my sister will help you, my sister promised you that she would not let you be like Qing'er, at least, it seems that Concubine Hua intends to win me over today, and we can also use this to find a support for ourselves." ”

Wen Yue looked at Qi Zheng: "But today I was almost ...... by Concubine Hua." ”

Qizheng took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears from the corners of Wen Yue's eyes: "Don't worry, in my opinion, Hua Guifei and Yin Guifei are different, yesterday it was Yin Guifei who borrowed Yunqing Liwei, and today it was Hua Guifei who came to show goodwill, which shows that Hua Guifei is more aware of current affairs than Yin Guifei, and she will not easily get rid of a person, don't worry." ”

"If you encounter such a little turmoil, you will have to die or live, I think even if the concubine does not degrade you, the emperor will not spoil you, keep your tears and cry at that time." Shujin sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Wen Yue, and sneered.

Wen Yue glared at Shujin when she heard this, and Shujin looked at Qizheng and said: "Qizheng, why do you bother so much for her, she is not angry, she is afraid of this and there, if it affects you, is it possible that you want to cry with her?" ”

Qizheng didn't speak, didn't pay attention to Shujin, looked at Wen Yue and said, "Let's go outside." ”

Wen Yue nodded, and went out with Qizheng.

A haunting voice came from behind him: "A young lady has to mix with a poor girl from a poor family and ask for hardship, why should Jin'er remind her, she will naturally understand when she suffers in the future." ”

Qizheng and Wenyue walked to the garden, and suddenly saw a figure sitting on the stone table and bench on the edge of the courtyard, looking up at the moon......
