Jingren Palace and Yonghe Palace both belong to the East Sixth Palace, which is not far apart, and the little eunuch guarding outside Jingren Palace saw Concubine Yi coming over from a distance, and he didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly greeted him, "The slave asks for peace for Master Yi, Concubine Yi is auspicious." ”

Concubine Yi lowered her shoulders and waved her hand to signal him to get up, "Is the concubine here?" ”

"If you want to return to your master, the master is talking to the crown princess in the house." The little eunuch replied respectfully.

Hearing that the crown princess was also there, Concubine Yi's carefully depicted long eyebrows raised slightly, and when the little eunuch went in, she turned her head sideways and asked Mu Yue, who was happy, "What do you know?" ”

Mu Yue whispered to her ear about the grievances between Ling Zhu and Shi Houde, and the crown princess came to visit Concubine De at this time, most of which was related to this matter.

While speaking, someone picked up the curtain and came out, in addition to the original little eunuch, there was an elderly palace maid, and smiled at Concubine Yi Fu Yifu: "The master heard that Master Yi is coming, I don't know how happy I am, let you go in quickly." ”

When Concubine Rong first entered the palace, Hezhu was already waiting by her side, and it has been decades since then, and she is most trusted by Concubine Rong, even Concubine Yi did not dare to despise it, and only after a few polite words did she pick up the curtain and enter the apse. As soon as I entered, a hot breath greeted me, instantly swallowing up the chill on the road.

Concubine Rong doesn't like luxury, but the layout of the entire Jingren Palace is simple and atmospheric, Concubine Yi handed the hand warmer to Jiqiu, put her hands on her waist and squatted down upright to salute, "Sister to Sister Guifei Say goodbye." Mu Yue and Ji Qiu, who were following her, also saluted.

Rong Guifei was the palace that Kangxi entered in the ninth year, and now she is nearly fifty people, although she is no longer young and beautiful, but the years are wearing away Shaohua at the same time, and the dignified decency is deeply engraved in her bones.

"How many times have I said it, how can my sister still see her like this, hurry up." Concubine Rong raised her hand to support her, while asking someone to move the embroidery pier.

Concubine Yi leaned down and sat down with a smile: "The etiquette must not be abolished, otherwise people will see it and say that my sister and I have no rules, and I didn't suffer this loss when I first entered the palace." ”

She took the brocade box in Jiqiu's hand and said: "A few days ago, when my brother came to visit the palace, he brought a white jade statue of Guanyin, I saw that the jade quality and carving were good and left, and my sister Zhilu Dao has eaten fast and chanted Buddha in recent years, and this statue of Guanyin is perfect for my sister." ”

Rong Guifei took it in her hand and opened it to see, Rao is she saw a lot of rare treasures and couldn't help but be moved, the whole Guanyin statue is two feet high, the jade is white and smooth without flaws, Guanyin is standing upright, the face is plump, the demeanor is serene, the chest hangs on the Yingluo, the right hand holds a scroll, the right hand carries a string of Buddhist beads, standing barefoot on a jasper texture carved sea water trust lotus seat, the carving is delicate, even the clothing lines are clear and smooth. It is definitely a precious treasure.

Concubine Rong refused to accept it, but she couldn't resist Concubine Yi's persuasion, and she really liked it, so she finally accepted it, and took Hezhu to the Buddha Hall to worship.

"Xiuyu has seen Concubine Yiniang." The Shi clan also got up and smiled and saluted Concubine Yi, and when he got up, he caught a glimpse of Mu Yue, who was saluting behind Concubine Yi, and suddenly said, "Hey, is this the new palace maid?" Good student Peugeot, and ......"

"And what?" Concubine Yi took the fragrant tea handed by the palace people and asked with a smile.

Shi frowned and said: "I don't know if Xiuyu is dazzled, why do you look at her facial features and charm a little like Yi Niangniang?" ”

Concubine Rong didn't care at first, but now she heard Shi mention it and looked at it, and sure enough, there were four or five points of similarity, could it be a coincidence? When he was puzzled, the corner of his eye inadvertently swept over the red tassel hanging from Mu Yue's ear, according to the rule, the palace maid is not allowed to wear the tassel, so she is not the palace maid? Thinking of this, Concubine Rong suddenly remembered something, and immediately guessed Mu Yue's identity after a little pondering, looked back at Shi and smiled: "You didn't read it wrong, but you said it wrong." Concubine Yi's sister, how could the daughter of the three officials be a palace maid. ”

Concubine Yi pursed her lips and smiled: "I really can't hide anything from my sister." Mu Yue, I haven't seen Concubine Rong and the crown princess again soon. ”

Mu Yue obediently agreed, stepped forward and saluted again, her voice was like a silver bell, "Mu Yue said hello to the concubine, and to the crown princess." ”

Concubine Rong beckoned her to come over, and looked at her carefully: "What a smart girl, the more she looks like Concubine Yi when she was young, it seems that there will be another concubine surnamed Guo Luoluo in the palace this year." ”

Such words are clearly implying that Mu Yue has a great chance of being selected to keep the brand, Rong Guifei is the person in charge of the draft, she is always eight or nine from ten, Concubine Yi is secretly happy in her heart, but her face does not show anything, but sighs with inexplicable sadness.

"Why is Concubine Yi sighing? Don't you want Mu Yue to enter the palace? Concubine Rong asked strangely.

"How can you?" Under Rong Guifei's repeated questioning, Concubine Yi Fang told the matter with an embarrassed face, and both Rong Guifei and Shi were stunned, and asked who was so arrogant and rude.

"It's the daughter of Niu Hulu's family, called Ling Ruo." Mu Yue said Ling Ruo's name at the suggestion of Concubine Yi.

When the Shi family heard this name, they immediately sneered, and Concubine Rong even sank her face, anger loomed between her eyebrows, and she said coldly: "If you really have a father, you must have a daughter, and you dare to be so bold and reckless in the palace." ”

"What's the matter, the concubine also knows this person?" Concubine Yi pretended to be surprised.

"Yi Niangniang has lived in the deep palace for a long time, so she naturally doesn't know that this Niu Hulu Lingruo's Ama is an official in the Ministry of Rites with my Amma, although it is only a small four-grade ceremony, she is arrogant, and she never puts my Ama in her eyes.

"If there is a father, there must be a daughter." Concubine Rong clenched her sleeves and said in a condensed voice: "Do they think it's still the same as before?" ”

Concubine Yi said leisurely: "In the past, the Niu Hulu family relied on the support of Empress Xiao Zhaoren and Concubine Wen to do whatever they wanted, and never put others in their eyes, but now although they are down, they are still looking forward to the comeback." She pouted at Zhong Cui Gong Nunu, and the meaning couldn't be clearer.

Rao is Concubine Rong has excellent cultivation, and she can't help but change color at this moment, she can not care about a show girl, but she can't care about a show girl who is seven or eight points similar to Queen Xiaochengren. As long as Kangxi entered the palace in the early years, no one knows the unique status of Empress Xiaochengren in Kangxi's mind.

This woman must not enter the palace.

Concubine Yi didn't know about Concubine Rong's change in thoughts, and when she saw that she was silent and hesitated, she said: "As a woman, you should have four virtues, namely virtue, appearance, speech, and merit; Among the four virtues, women's virtue is the most important, and people who are arrogant and arrogant without virtue even have the qualifications to stand upright, how can they be worthy of entering the palace as a concubine and driving around. ”

"What my sister said is very true." Rong Guifei's eyes were slightly closed, and her eyelashes hung down like wings, blocking the sharpness of her eyes that she inadvertently ejaculated.

"It's just that although this palace is in charge of this draft, it doesn't have the right to stack cards at will, everything has to wait for the emperor to read it before it can be decided, I don't know what good way my sister has?" She stroked the intricate patterns on her cuffs, and her voice was still gentle, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry.

Concubine Yi twisted her eyebrows slightly, of course she could understand the meaning of Concubine Rong's words, but the difficulty was here, whether the show girl left a brand on the day of the draft depended on the emperor's meaning, and they had no right to ask, at most they could only mention a few words on the side, unless......

Just as Concubine Yi was thinking about how to prevent Ling Ruo from appearing in that day's draft, Shi suddenly got up and said, "If the show girl is unclean or has an affair with others, is it another matter?" ”

"What does that mean?" Concubine Rong was taken aback, sat up straight, and her eyes fell on Shi with Concubine Yi.

Shi's lips curved to reveal a grim smile, and the spar hairpin in his hair slashed a cold light, like the eyes of a poisoned snake in the wilderness.
