Farewell to Princess Kang and Yin Yuling, Li Xin and Yin Liuchen went out of the palace. The carriage was already waiting, but there were not many gifts.

Originally, I didn't have to bring any gifts, but I just went to see the elders, so bringing a little bit was a little bit of their young couple's heart. Li Xin brought a few kinds of needlework and thread that he made, and also made a few snacks himself.

Yin Liuchen prepared a jade Buddha for the Queen Mother.

Li Xin was a little nervous all the way, but he felt accustomed to it. When he was a child, his grandmother always loved him and always liked to have people take him to the palace. His relationship with the imperial grandmother has always been relatively good, that is, he has grown up slowly, but he has become a lot stranger.

There's no way around it, he's grown up, so it's not good to always go to the harem. Don't talk about him, even the prince's brother is not good at always staying in the harem.

Under the melon field and plums, it is better to be careful.

The carriage entered the palace and stopped after walking for a while. There was already a sedan chair waiting for them, so they got on the sedan chair and went all the way to the direction of Cining Palace.

Caixia and Hanrui followed the side of the sedan chair with gifts. Li Xin has been sitting quietly in the sedan chair, and he doesn't dare to open the curtain to look outside.

When the sedan chair stopped, it was already outside Cining Palace. Although Cining Palace is also resplendent and majestic, it has a more dull atmosphere and seems relatively quiet. Cining Palace is actually a relatively remote existence in the palace, after all, this is the residence of the first emperor and the second concubine.

To put it bluntly, the masters who live here are all widows, no matter how noble they are, no matter how powerful they are, they can't change the identity of widows.

All the way in. It's really silent. It seems that all the people who serve are light-hearted, and they don't even dare to breathe. The outside is heavily guarded. Looking at it like that, I'm afraid it's called protection. It's really to spy on the Queen Mother!

The tall pines and cypresses are growing very well, and they are verdant. In winter, the courtyard is decorated with flowers of various colors, only some tall evergreen trees, which are faintly gloomy. Cining Palace covers a large area, and after listening to Liuchen, Li Xin knew that Cining Palace was probably bigger than any palace in the harem.

It's just that they don't have the beautiful decoration of those palaces. In the end, there are still a lot of people who want to live in Cining Palace, and they are too small to live.

There are so many people in the harem of any emperor. Even if some can be sent away, not all of them will be sent out of the palace. Generally, those who only have daughters, or those who are of high grade but have no children, most of them will live in Cining Palace. That is, those who have sons, and following their sons to the fiefdom can be regarded as a way out.

In fact, it is really better to go to the fief than to stay in the palace, and many concubines have no power to stay in the palace, and the first emperor died. There was nothing to rely on at all.

When she arrived at the fiefdom, she was the princess and concubine, and she was also very noble in the palace.

In the palace, when the first emperor was alive. The concubine inevitably competes for favor, lives in a palace, and does not look up and see her. It's really not that easy. And when there is a queen mother, it is still a question whether she can accommodate other concubines. If it is intolerable...... I don't know how those concubines died.

However, there are very few people living in Cining Palace now, and the main hall is naturally inhabited by the Queen Mother. Then there are still a few concubines who have little status living in the side hall.

Most of the concubines who were more noble back then were dead, and those who were sent out of the palace were sent out of the palace. There are also those who were martyred for the first emperor, but there are few people who remain in the palace.

Entering the main hall, Li Xin glanced slightly and saw that there was a person sitting on the main seat. She and Yin Liuchen both knelt down and saluted, and Caixia and Hanrui also knelt down.

"See the Queen Mother." Li Xin lowered his head slightly, but he didn't see the Queen Mother clearly.

"Get up!" The words are casual, but with a faint sense of solemnity. Just listening to such a voice makes people feel that they will not be a very gentle person, but some men's solemn spirit.

It wasn't until he sat down that Li Xin dared to glance at the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is over the age of sixteen, but the maintenance is still very good, and she does not look old. Even the hair is black and shiny, and there is not a trace of gray hair.

The Queen Mother sat quietly, her back straight, but she looked inviolable. The clothes are all boutiques, clothes, jewelry, everywhere shows wealth and delicacy. Because the first emperor died, the queen mother did not wear bright clothes, and even the jewelry did not need to be too bright in color.

Looking at the face, he looked a little mean and stern, and his eyes were sharp, but people didn't dare to look at it directly.

The Queen Mother also looked at Li Xin quietly, but it was a rare appearance, no wonder the dust was tempting. I thought that the woman who came out of a small household would not be able to appear on the stage, but now that I look at it, it is okay, and it is not like the average woman who comes out of a small family. However, it is not like those ladies in the capital, but it has a very unique feeling.

Speaking of which, this woman is really not simple. I've heard Tianchen talk about it before, saying that she is a rare little girl.

A few years have passed, and this little girl has grown like this. It is a great merit for a woman to bless all people.

The Queen Mother didn't embarrass Li Xin, she just said some common words, as if it was really at least an ordinary grandmother who wanted to see her granddaughter-in-law.

After talking for a while, the Queen Mother wanted to leave Yin Liuchen to speak alone, so Li Xin took Caixia and Hanrui to withdraw first. Walking outside, Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief, the queen mother is a person who has lived in people for a long time, and she can always give people an inexplicable pressure. It was a very shrewd and capable woman, even if it was the first time they met, Li Xin felt so.

That's right, it's certainly not easy for a woman to walk step by step today.

It is indeed not easy to go from a concubine in a royal palace to the position of the queen mother who is high up today, but she has always held great power. When the first emperor first became the emperor, the current queen mother was just a harem girl of a very low grade. But after slowly sitting on the queen, he also let his son squeeze out the concubine left by the Empress Yuan and became the emperor.

Of course, such a woman is very powerful.

Li Xin didn't dare to go far, so he only walked around Cining Palace. There are splendid palaces everywhere, and there are heavy high walls, and standing here, you really can't see the outside of the palace at all.

It seems that the sky has become smaller, and life in this palace year after year is really a very frightening thing. Fortunately, in this era, almost all the women who enter the palace are still voluntary, as long as the emperor will not force the women of any family to enter the palace. This is also a bit of a human right! It would be a nightmare for a woman to live in an era where she was forced to draft a draft.

It's like the Qing Dynasty, but in the families of officials with slightly higher grades, their daughters have to participate in the draft anyway.

Only if the emperor doesn't like it, and even the royal family doesn't look down on it, then it can be regarded as having the right to find someone for his daughter. Speaking of which, it's really a perverted dynasty, and it's creepy to think about.

"The Queen Mother doesn't know what to say to the prince, it's been so long, and the prince hasn't come out." Han Rui frowned slightly.

"Dear grandchildren! It's normal to talk a little more, it's rare to come to Cining Palace! Li Xin smiled. Liuchen is not always good to come to Cining Palace, and since he is here, it is not a wrong thing to talk for a while. Of course, she also thinks that the Queen Mother and Liuchen can't just be nagging.

But no matter what she said, she couldn't control it.

Suddenly, a few people walked over not far away, Li Xin looked over, and the leader was a young and beautiful woman, dressed very beautifully, looking like a fairy.

The few people in the back are dressed as palace maids, I'm afraid which master in the palace is it? The closer he got, the more Li Xin felt that the woman he was leading was a little familiar, and she looked like she was twenty-five or sixteen years old. But it will not make people feel that the color is withering, but there is a very unique beauty, like a tutu that blooms to the extreme, which is very bright and moving.

I always felt that this person should have seen it herself, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

The group had no intention of entering Cining Palace, and passed by the gate of Cining Palace. Li Xin didn't know what her identity was, but she didn't care, and those people didn't mean to deal with her.

It was at this time that the palace maid of Cining Palace sent Yin Liuchen out.

"Who is the person who just passed? Which master in the palace is it? Li Xin asked the palace maid who came out of Cining Palace. If it is really a concubine of some grades in the palace, the palace maid who serves closely by the queen mother's side should know her!

"If you return to the princess, that is the jade concubine, and now she is favored in the palace! In the past two years, the emperor rarely walks around the harem, and most of the jade concubines are waiting. The palace maid replied truthfully. This kind of thing is not a secret, and naturally many people know about it.

That is, Li Xin entered the palace for the first time, and he didn't know anything about the palace.

"That's it! But I don't understand anything. Li Xin smiled. Let me take the liberty of asking, what is the surname of this jade concubine? ”

"The original surname of the jade concubine was Liu, but her background was humble, but she was just a family of ordinary people."

"Thank you."

"It is the honor of the slave maid to be able to solve the doubts of the princess, where to get the word 'thanks', it is really a torment for the slave maid."

Li Xin and Yin Liuchen got on the sedan chair, but Li Xin thought about the jade concubine, where had she seen it? Surname Liu? She thought for a moment if she had ever known a woman with the surname Liu.

If you can't remember your identity, you must be very unfamiliar, but if you feel familiar, you should have been in contact with it. It can't be just a passer-by, otherwise it will feel familiar!

But she was just casual, she didn't think about it, she was just a person she saw suddenly, and it didn't matter much. It's nothing if she can't think of it, and it won't affect her life anyway. (To be continued......)
