After entering the palace for so long, in fact, Xu Xun really felt that he had gradually integrated into the palace after often going to Zhang Cairen and Li Cairen's rooms to play.

Although a few grandmothers know a lot, they are all discussions between some palace people, and some things don't like to talk to her. Xu Xun's interpersonal relationship in the inner palace is basically a black eye, although the princess is good with her, but she is also a concubine, and she has been repeatedly warned in the internal training that among the palace concubines, gossip and telling right and wrong are the most taboo. There are some things that the princess knows in her heart, and it is not easy to talk to them, otherwise how can she lead by example in the future and go to the world of motherhood?

As for Sun Yunu, although she is also very familiar with the affairs of the inner palace, she doesn't talk about this much on weekdays, and she doesn't go to the palace to ask for peace many times, this kind of topic is not within the scope of the little girls' daily discussions. Therefore, although Xu Xun has lived in the West Sixth Palace and Taisun Palace for more than half a year, his impression of the Inner Palace is still very vague. That is, recently, Xu Xun was promoted by Zhang Niangniang, and he was able to enter the inner palace to ask for peace, Zhang Cairen and Li Cairen became enthusiastic about her, and when she usually came over to ask for peace, she was also willing to say something about the inner palace to her. If in the past, they treated little concubines like Xu Xun like children, although they took good care of them and were kind, they didn't say a word when they said a lot.

Because the prince is older, he has a lot of concubines and beauties, but the ones who are really on the book are all serious talents, unlike the grandson, and there is a grandson. Zhang Cairen, Li Cairen and Guo Cairen are all famous and well-known characters, that is, Guo Cairen is favored, and in the past few years, they have been either double-bodyed, or they are taking children, and they usually don't have the time to entertain them at all. It's Zhang Cairen, who has no children, Li Cairen, whose children are older, and he usually has a lot of free time. In addition to serving in front of the crown princess, they have nothing to do, and they also like to get together and talk, and they don't go out to play swings like the little concubines. Xu Xun also received the guidance of Concubine Taisun, and he also kept an eye on himself, for example, today, after playing on the swing in the back garden for a while, seeing that Sun Yunu didn't know where to go, she also went to Zhang Cairen's house.

Zhang Cairen and Li Cairen were really sitting together to pick up Buddha beans - the concubines of the inner palace, most of whom believed in Buddhism, had to pick beans and recite scriptures, which was also a good pastime. Seeing Xu Xun coming, Zhang Cairen moved out of a position and said, "You can also accumulate blessings." ”

Li Cairen said with a smile, "She must have picked a lifetime of Buddha beans in her last life, and in this life, she doesn't have to choose." ”

She is very gentle and virtuous in front of people, but she is full of jokes in private, Zhang Cairen listened to it, and laughed slightly, but Xu Xun blushed and said, "Li Niangniang teased me again." ”

The corners of Li Cairen's mouth curled higher, but he said, "What kind of person is on the brand, you are also called Niangniang, Niangniang." Let's sit down yet. ”

The three concubines sat together and silently picked up Buddha beans for a while. Li Cairen opened the conversation box at this time, "I've heard about it, Liu Jieyu has touched Zhang Niangniang's head again in the past few days." ”

Zhang Cairen is Zhang Niangniang's niece, this kind of thing must have been heard, she shook her head, and sighed, "Actually, this is all a trivial, these days Niangniang is unhappy, mainly because the tribute brought back by the eunuch of the Three Treasures from the West has entered the palace, and the emperor has spoken, and the jewelry is let Wang Niangniang pick it first." ”

When Xu Xun had not yet entered the palace, he had heard about the Three Treasures Eunuchs going to the West, and her father had also bought the conch brought back by the Three Treasures Eunuchs from the West for their sisters to play. Although most of it is a pretense of a name, it is conceivable that it is difficult to make a mission, and you must bring something good back. However, she didn't know that the eunuch Sanbao had already sent another envoy to the West, and after listening to what Zhang Cairen said, she knew that everyone had already sent another envoy, and listening to the meaning, this time it must be a full return.

Li Cai was about to speak, and after seeing Xu Xun's expression, he said, "When the eunuch Sanbao came back last time, you hadn't entered the palace yet, and the West was a good place. Those precious spices and precious stones were brought back from the West. I'm afraid that Lord Sambo has only been back for a few days—"

Zhang Cairen nodded and said, "I just arrived, and the things haven't been sent to the palace yet." When the emperor went back to see Wang Niangniang, he talked about this matter, and Wang Niangniang said, 'I must have brought a lot of good things'. The imperial grandfather said, 'Wait for the list to be opened, let the Zhang family send it to Yonghua Palace, you can pick it first'. ”

can be so colorful, even the words of the emperor are repeated, then I don't know which palace person is privately speaking. Li Cairen sighed, shook his head slightly, and saw that Xu Xun was still ignorant, so he said, "Before Wang Niangniang got sick, she was more favored than Zhang Niangniang, and now that she is sick, it is natural that she is more lovable." It's Zhang Niangniang, how hard it has been to manage housekeeping for many years, and she must not be very happy in her heart. Liu Jieyu has shallow eyelids, and the decency of being Wang Niangniang is her decency, and she has to show off her favor when she is busy, and she is also asking for herself when she is beaten back. Alas, to put it simply, Wang Niangniang let Han Niangniang live in Yonghua Palace, which can be regarded as far-reaching, otherwise, the emperor may not be able to think of her. ”

"It's all a virtual hilarity." Zhang Cairen also sighed, "It's just a matter of fighting for a breath." The aunt didn't blame Wang Niangniang for grabbing the first soup, but she felt that the emperor did this, but she seemed to be ignorant. There are good things in the harem, my aunt doesn't pick them first, and the rest are not sent to Yonghua Palace first according to the grade......"

Xu Xun was dizzy when she heard it - for her, Liu Jieyu, a popular and favored concubine, was already very powerful. Unexpectedly, Zhang Cairen and Li Cairen didn't seem to take her seriously at all. On the contrary, it is Wang Niangniang, who has been sick in bed for a long time, and Han Niangniang, who doesn't seem to be favored much, and they are more valued.

Zhang Cairen said a few words, suddenly thought of her, and turned his face to mention, "Gaoli Gongnu, her eyelids are shallow, after all, she is a foreign vassal girl, and she has not been educated by our country." I like to be jealous, not to mention, but also to love money. So...... and King Han have always been close, this time, Liu Jieyu heard that she went to Yonghua Palace to ask for peace - Wang Niangniang is sick, she can't get out of bed, and she is afraid that she won't care about these things. Then you will know to whom these tribute girls are longing. ”

Xu Xun nodded hurriedly, and only responded really. Li Cairen saw it in his eyes, and said with a smile, "Xiao Xun, tell me what to do when I saw Liu Jieyu and Han Niangniang in the palace?" ”

Xu Xun thought about it for a while, and saw that the two elder concubines were looking at him, although he was a little nervous, he still said, "Do what you have to do." ”

Li Cairen and Zhang Cairen glanced at each other, and both smiled slightly, Li Cairen said, "Aren't you particularly polite?" ”

Xu Xun lowered his head and said wryly, "I don't want to be particularly polite...... I can't swallow this breath, and I don't let them find fault with me, that's it. ”

Li Cairen said with a smile, "That's right, we are doing right, every word and deed is based on internal training, that is, we want to find faults, and Zhang Niangniang can also make decisions for us." We can't be picked out by others, but we can't be so soft that we can't mention it, so that the concubine Niangniang can't make the decision if she wants to, so it will be too bad for Chunhe Hall and Taisun Palace to earn face. ”

Xu Xun also felt that this was what the two elders meant, and combined with the gold earrings that Concubine Zhang Guifei rewarded her, this attitude was even more obvious, and she hurriedly said, "I must not embarrass the two palaces." ”

The two elders immediately laughed with satisfaction. Zhang Cairen didn't educate Xu Xun again, but changed the topic again. "I heard that the palace on that side is almost finished, and the land is several times larger than here."

"That's great." Li Cairen hurriedly said, "It rained a few days ago, and my yard was waterlogged again, how are you here?" I'm going to have water in that house and I'm going up the stairs......"

Maybe it was her statement that played a role, and a few days later, Concubine Taisun specially informed her in advance that she would also have a share in the large army entering the inner palace tomorrow.

#

Xu Xun entered the palace several times, and she arrived at Changyang Palace first, which is also the place she is most familiar with in the inner palace, although it is a little strange, but she has a little affection for Changyang Palace - this is inseparable from her feelings for Zhang Guifei Niangniang. Although Zhang Guifei Niangniang rewarded her with a gold pendant, although it was not just to see her cuteness, but to beat Liu Jieyu, but anyway, those words of praise and heavy precious jewelry, after all, made her feel a little grateful to Zhang Niangniang. This is not counting Zhang Niangniang's old affection since the draft.

Therefore, when she saw Zhang Niangniang, she was not afraid of being nervous except for some excitement, so she sat down at the bottom of the head, listening to the chatter between the princess and Zhang Niangniang, and she herself looked around and looked at the furnishings in Changyang Palace.

They came in this time, and it was different from the last canonization, Zhang Niangniang did not ascend to the palace, but talked to them in the east room, and the decorations in the east room were richer and more homely than the main hall. The basic structure is also similar to that in Xu Xun's house, the wall is the kang, which is convenient for meeting guests in winter, and in winter, the kang will also be covered with a warm pavilion, and now the weather is still warm, so there are only a few pillars around the kang. By the window is a big Luohan bed, with black paint, Xu Xun can't see what kind of wood it is, a plum blossom table in the middle of the room, and a round of embroidered piers on the side. There were two circle chairs next to the Luohan bed—those serious Taishi chairs that could not be seen in the east room. Next to the other two walls is a large standing cabinet with the top of the sky, and this wood Xu Xun can see: golden silk nanmu, a good thing that an inch of wood is more expensive than gold.

In addition, Zhang Niangniang's house is a silk longevity golden phoenix small screen is particularly eye-catching, and the rest of the furnishings are the same as those in Xu Xun's house, anyway, they are all those ornaments, which are nothing more expensive than the ornaments in Zhang Niangniang's house. Xu Xun only felt that a plate of amethyst grapes was crystal clear and very cute, she stared at it for a while, and then withdrew her eyes.

The crown princess and Zhang Niangniang were close to each other, and they were also talking about the return of the eunuch Sanbao from the West, because this was a major event in the palace. The eunuchs of the Three Treasures brought back a lot of precious wood from the West, including the extremely haode rosewood that could not be searched in China, and the emperor ordered that the furniture made of these woods be directly transported to the north parallel, which is another problem, that is, the distribution of the palace in the north parallel has not yet been determined, at least how to arrange the inner palace is not a number at all. Zhang Niangniang is having a headache about this now.

"The Shang Palace Bureau is also a mess," she complained to the crown princess, "let them look for the palace city map, but they don't know which yamen to find." I told the emperor that I couldn't control it if it was so noisy, so I had to leave it alone, anyway, I couldn't live in a house. ”

The crown princess must comfort Zhang Niangniang, but Zhang Niangniang's negative sabotage is very serious, and after saying a few words, she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, don't say it." - Well, this is not Xu - Xu - "

As soon as Xu Xun heard her mention herself, she saw Zhang Niangniang's eyes on herself, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Xiao Xun asks Niangniang for peace." ”

Saying that she was going to salute again, Zhang Niangniang said with a smile, "I've bowed once, why do you still worship." Sit so far that I can't even see you clearly, come to me. ”

Xu Xun sat next to Zhang Niangniang again, Zhang Niangniang rubbed her shoulder, looked at her carefully for a while, and then said to Zhang Cai, "You say, is she a little similar to your Aunt Ning?" ”

Zhang Cairen was embarrassed for a while, and before he could answer, Zhang Niangniang sighed, "I forgot, when I entered the palace, how old were you, and your Aunt Ning had already passed away at that time, you must not be able to remember." ”

It sounds like Xu Xun looks a little similar to Zhang Niangniang's younger sister, who died young. The crown princess smiled and said, "I said, why did the mother like her so much when she saw her." It turned out that she was so blessed and born with a good face. ”

"Good face is true, but good fortune may not be. The concubines of the heavenly family, although they are pampered, must be cautious in their words and deeds everywhere, so as to set an example for the world. Zhang Niangniang sighed, but said a few words of truth. The crown princess, the princess, and even Zhang Cairen and Xu Xun hurriedly got up and said, "Yes, follow the teachings of the mother." ”

This made Zhang Niangniang laugh, she said, "I mean, sometimes, this harem concubine is not as good as ordinary women, laughing and scolding, can be wanton." If you have any grievances in your heart, you can still complain and complain to your family...... Since we are the role models in the world, we are a little wronged, so we can only swallow it in our hearts? ”

She took Xu Xun in her arms and said lovingly, "So when I saw her so simple, I liked it from the bottom of my heart." It's good, God likes the foolish, the foolish have the blessing! Xiao Xun, I came in just now, why are you so happy to see it? ”

Xu Xun didn't expect that his every move fell in Zhang Niangniang's eyes, and her face turned red, "I look at the decorations in Niangniang's house, it looks very good......"

Zhang Niangniang smiled and said, "Is it good-looking?" ”

Xu Xun said honestly, "It's so good-looking." ”

"I've been in the palace for more than ten years, and it's the rewards that I should get on time every year, and there are a lot, and when you get there, your house will look good." Zhang Niangniang seemed a little complacent, turned her head and said, "Cai'er, simply turn off my makeup and open her eyes." ”

When she said this, everyone in the room was a little excited: Zhang Niangniang has been in the palace for at least seventeen or eighteen years, and she was promoted to the concubine twelve years ago, and she has been in charge of the harem since then. If you can wear makeup, it must be a rarity. -- But all women who don't love jewelry, they are in the minority.

Cai'er left in response, and not long after, together with the two palace people, she struggled to carry in a dressing box that was five feet high and almost a small cabinet herself. Zhang Guifei said to Xu Xundao, "Do you know what kind of wood this is?" ”

Xu Xun said honestly, "I don't know." ”

She sniffled again, "What about the fragrant one, is it a Western perfume?" ”

"It's made of agarwood in its entirety." Zhang Guifei said with a smile, and Concubine Taisun took a slight breath.

The corners of Zhang Guifei's lips turned up a little more, she bent down, opened the makeup box herself, first opened the top mezzanine, revealing a dazzling glass mirror, and then pushed the base out, and then pushed open several layers of drawers, not to mention anything else, Xu Xun had never seen this ingenuity before.

But no one can care about admiring this, Zhang Guifei's push was suddenly dazzling, Xu Xun couldn't force his eyes for a while, even the crown princess and the princess turned their eyes away, after a while, Xu Xun blinked, and couldn't help but say, "Niangniang, this...... The gem of the jewel and the light of the mirror were so mixed that I even burst into tears. ”

Zhang Guifei laughed out loud, and Xu Xun heard true happiness in her laughter for the first time, she said, "You guys are also shallow-eyed, and you don't have any eyes." ”

As he spoke, he closed the drawer. pressed the mirror down, and took out a few small drawers from the bottom of the makeup, and showed them to Xu Xun and the others, "Compared to the top one, it's not a good thing." ”

But in Xu Xun's opinion, it is also quite impressive, how bad can it be if you can enter the jewelry that is commonly used for makeup? Zhang Guifei said that, but she was humble. What opal sets of heads, what pearls and phoenixes, what gold and jade bracelets, what silk hairpins...... The workmanship was fine, and the gems were much bigger than she had. She couldn't even estimate the price, she just stared blankly at the box of jewelry, completely dazzled.

"Is it good-looking?" Zhang Guifei asked her.

"Beautiful." Xu Xun nodded vigorously.

"What's pretty?" Zhang Guifei was amused by her.

"It's all good-looking." Xu Xun said sincerely.

"Which one is the best?" The concubine asked.

"I can't pick it out." Taisun Jieyu replied from the bottom of her heart.

At this time, even the crown princess couldn't stand it anymore, she coughed lightly - but before she could give Xu Xun a look, Zhang Guifei waved her hand. I picked out a hairpin in the jewelry box for a long time with great interest, and picked out a hairpin, which was made of gold, with a crested head and a huge sapphire on the phoenix's mouth. Where the brilliance is splendid, there will never be a red treasure earring in front of Zhang Guifei's head.

"Does this look good?" The concubine said.

"Beautiful!" Xu Xun was really dazzled, and his answer was sonorous and powerful.

Zhang Guifei □ the hairpin into Xu Xun's bun, and said with a smile, "It's good-looking, then I'll reward you." ”

- Huh?

- Huh?

Xu Xun didn't react after a while, she blinked her eyes, and she didn't understand for a long time: Didn't she just enter the palace to say goodbye? Why did you get something good again?
