When the green shirt first entered the nine-fold city, the purple sky was dawning and the red clouds opened. Chapter 3 SSS Opening
Xie Fenghuang before dawn...... No, it's time to call Yun Fenghuan from now on, so he got up, dressed up according to the rules, said goodbye to Yun Ju and his wife, and took Nian Xuan out of the palace in the Siwang car.
Xiufu, who was sent by Concubine Shu to teach the rules, went back to her life a day in advance, and there was no palace person to accompany her at this time, and it was okay before entering the palace, after meeting other courtesy nobles at the palace gate and entering the palace, she looked at the majestic and solemn palace wall from the shaking curtain, as well as a column of heavily guarded armor soldiers, and said slowly that Nian Xuan was silent, even Yun Fenghuang was a little nervous.
Since Sister Xie Fengfeng was sunk in front of her, she has rarely been nervous.
The carriage rolled over the palace bricks, and the four sides of the carriage were covered tightly with cyan felt cloth, and only the gaps occasionally refracted a little of the luster of the hairpin ring, thinking that they all remembered the teaching when they learned the rules, and no one dared to say anything at this time. The convoy drove unhurriedly along the roadway for a few moments before finally stopping. After another moment, the slightly sharp voice of the temple people came from outside, asking everyone to get out of the car and enter to bow to the empress dowager.
Speaking of which, the empress dowager has not been in charge of things since she was the queen mother, and this time she will actually accept the visit of the new concubines, one is that the purpose of the courtesy is from her, and the other is that she is really worried about the heirs of Emperor Chunjia.
After all, the first emperor, that is, His Majesty the Emperor Xiaozong, the son of the empress dowager, died childless, so he had to succeed the cousin who was originally the king of Fuyang County to ascend the throne.
And this emperor with the name Chunjia has been on the throne for eight years, and he doesn't even have a princess under his knees, so it's hard not to worry that he will follow in the footsteps of the first emperor.
"Wind Fence!" A group of noble ladies got off the carriage one after another, and there was a tall and majestic palace standing in front of the meeting, and the golden lacquer hall plaque hung the word "Qingci", which was the Qingci Palace where the queen mother of the previous dynasties lived...... Of course, there is the Queen Mother living here.
According to the instructions of the temple people, the people who knew each other during this period inevitably greeted each other, Yun Qingman walked to Yun Fenghuang neatly, and wanted to say something excitedly-but before the words were spoken, the temple people not far away swept a stern look, Yun Fenghuang hurriedly signaled her to line up first, and if she had anything to say, she would talk back.
Seeing that the ladies were all lined up, the palace maids at the door went in again to ask for instructions, and after they came out, they let them go in batches to thank them.
After all, Yun Qingman has a father-in-law, or the sister of the concubine, she is the first wave to enter, and she is also noble when she enters, so she was left by the Queen Mother for a long time before coming out, and she has a lot of rewards in her hands, looking at her relaxed face and a little reserved, thinking that the Queen Mother is very kind.
At least they are very kind.
After Yun Qingman came out, he wanted to continue to wait for Yun Fenghuan, but in the end he was urged by the palace people to get in the car and leave, so he could only give Yun Fenghuan a look before leaving, saying that he had something to say to her.
"Could it be for the Wing Guogong?" Yun Fenghuang was not surprised by this, no matter whether he entered the palace intentionally or unintentionally, without Yiguo Gong, this thing would not have been possible. Yun Qingman felt guilty about this, or defended Yiguo Gong, which was a reasonable thing.
Yun Fenghuang had already thought about how to deal with it, and there was nothing complicated at this time, and his mind was more focused on his turn to thank him soon.
The Empress Dowager's attitude towards the new concubines is obviously directly related to her background, Yun Qingman's wave lasted the longest, and each of the next waves took less time than the previous round, so it soon arrived at Yun Fenghuan.
It's the last one!
The truly noble ones are gone, and those who fall behind are either family backgrounds or parallel goods like Yunfeng Huang, although they are also dressed in gold and silver, and their momentum reveals cowardice.
Yun Fenghuang sighed in his heart, took out the results of the assault training during this time, and walked in with a low eyebrow.
Turn the entrance of the hall Huanghuali carved five blessings to hold the longevity embedded mica glazed screen, the scarlet ground entwined branch crocus pattern crane deer with the spring spread of the end is to depict the gold pill, on which is placed a carved dragon carved phoenix throne, at this moment the throne is hanging in front of a bright yellow plain pattern pleated skirt, the skirt is exposed under the cloud head of a pair of cyan phoenix shoes, the gold and silver thread is embroidered with a rich peony picture, the edge is also inlaid with a pearl...... I think it is the wife of His Majesty Emperor Shenzong, the biological mother of His Majesty Emperor Xiaozong, and the current Empress Dowager.
What does the Empress Dowager look like, Yun Fenghuang didn't dare to continue to move up because of his gaze, and he didn't see it clearly at a hurried glance, and after saluting respectfully, he listened to the palace people standing beside the Empress Dowager tell them the identities of the four of them and the reasons for their selection...... The reasons for being selected are basically the same, nothing more than the gentleness and thoughtfulness of Xiuwai Huizhong, who is worthy of serving the emperor.
"They're all good boys." The Empress Dowager's voice was a little tired, as if the phoenix body was in disharmony, and it seemed that her eyes swept around one by one, and then she said slowly, "Reward!" β
Yun Fenghuang and his companions hurriedly bowed down and thanked them softly.
And then there was no more, and when he received the reward, he was sent away.
Yun Fenghuang was suspicious, no, she was sure that the Empress Dowager didn't remember what the four of them looked like......
Sure enough, what my aunt said was right, to be a palace concubine for Jinshang, without a strong mother's family, the future is simply bright......
She sighed in her heart, and when she went out, she was even more embarrassed when she knew where she lived: "Huzhu Palace, cherish Xingxuan?" This aunt, I heard that Huzhu Palace is presided over by Concubine Yue? β
The palace people looked at her with sympathy: "That's right, Concubine Yue is amiable, after Baolin goes, she must be able to adapt quickly." β
"......" Yun Fenghuang looked up at the sky, and after a moment, he nodded without smiling, "I borrow your auspicious words." β
Hasn't she heard Xiufu talk about it?
Concubine Yue's Yuan, in terms of position, is only below the queen and the four concubines, and her status in the palace is not low, and she can also be among the best in terms of favor, but she is a ...... Amiable and the opposite is almost the same!
Speaking of which, you can't blame Yuan's bad temper, after all, she is the Empress Dowager Yuan, well, she is Emperor Chunjia's original mother-in-law, the niece of Concubine Yuan of Fuyang, and the fiancΓ©e of Emperor Chunjia's fingertips since childhood - according to the rules, she should be the queen of the middle palace!
However, Emperor Chunjia's ascension to the throne is all thanks to the power of the Ji family, and the Ji family happens to have a concubine who is the same age as Emperor Chunjia, so of course he took the phoenix seal, and even because the Yuan family and Emperor Chunjia were childhood sweethearts, they were worried that she would threaten Queen Ji with her old feelings, and the four concubines did not give it, and the first title was only a lady, and this concubine was said to have been sealed a few years ago for some reason.
The resentment in Yuan's heart can be imagined, her mother's family is considered a big family in the Fuyang fiefdom, and she can't make any waves if she puts the emperor in the capital, so even if she is happy with the emperor, she doesn't dare to take Empress Ji and other high-ranking concubines from high families, and she is angry and goes to the low-level concubines who have nothing to rely on.
According to Xiufu's euphemism, most of the low-level concubines who have disappeared in the harem in the past two years are due to the Yuan family.
Now that Yun Fenghuang has been assigned to this person's palace, it is no longer a matter of a bright future, this is simply a matter of bad luck and less luck......
Huzhu Palace is in the northwest corner of the palace city, far away from the Yanfu Palace where the queen lives, and even far away from the Taichu Palace where the imperial bed is located.
It's like hanging alone.
It shows that in the harem where the Ji family is in charge, there is a lot of displeasure in this concubine with the title of Yue.
And Concubine Yue Niangniang is even more unkind to the concubines who are under her hands.
Yun Fenghuang stood at the door of the main hall for more than an hour before a pink-clothed palace maid with a straight face came out and said lukewarmly: "My mother asked Baolin to go in and talk." β
"You're the one who hired Rainbow Dash into the palace this time?" Yun Fenghuang and Nian Xuan walked in cautiously and saluted carefully...... They didn't get up for a long time, and seeing that they were standing crumblingly and couldn't hold on, a woman at the top snorted coldly, and said in a very bad tone, "Concubine Niangniang's sister, this palace doesn't dare to offend, sit down!" β
Yun Fenghuan hurriedly said that he didn't dare, and he was blessed to sit tremblingly on the rose chair next to him.
The palace people made tea with their hands and feet, and she glanced at the Yuan family not far away while bowing her head to thank her.
This Concubine Yue looks like she is in her early twenties, dressed gorgeously, with exquisite makeup, and her appearance is not as sharp as her reputation, but she has a round face and round eyes and a petite figure.
At the moment, she was propped up on the small table with one hand, and the tea bowl in front of her with the other hand was carelessly, and she tilted her head to look at Yun Fenghuang: "It doesn't look like a lady concubine." β
"The concubine and the concubine are not sisters." Yun Feng said in his heart that Miss Ben ...... Oh no, this Baolin has nothing to do with Concubine Shu at all, if it looks like it, it's weird.
"No wonder she assigned her own sisters to Tongxia Palace, but she sent you here in the palace." Yuan sneered, carefully observed Yun Fenghuang, and saw that she maintained a posture of low eyebrows and pleasing to the eyes, as if she didn't hear the provocation in these words, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she turned her head to tell her big palace maid, "You tell her about the rules here in the palace." β
There are many rules in Huzhu Palace, and it is basic to ask for peace in the morning and evening, and there are a series of details according to Concubine Yue's preferences, such as not being allowed to play the piano in the palace, because Concubine Yue doesn't like to listen to the sound of the piano, and for example, not allowing to practice dancing in the palace, because Concubine Yue doesn't like it...... You said that practicing secretly behind closed doors does not hinder Concubine Yue's eyes?
That's not good, this Huzhu Palace, Concubine Yue is the master, she said that she can't do things, she can't see and can't see places!
In addition, the food that Concubine Yue doesn't like to eat is not allowed to be eaten in the palace, and the furnishings that Concubine Yue doesn't like can't be in the palace - to put it simply, this Huzhu Palace can be said to be Concubine Yue's small world, and everything has to revolve around her.
"Miss, what are we going to do now?" Concubine Yue watched the palace maid teach half a pillar of incense kung fu in the mouth, and finally finished her rules, so she put down the tea bowl and sent off the guest with an arrogant attitude.
Returning to Xi Xingxuan, where Yunfeng lived, Nian Xuan didn't even care about the luggage, so she hurriedly turned around, "Concubine Yue has so many restrictions here, this can't do that, what will I do in the future?" Why don't we ask Miss Yun Si, ah no, it's Yun Meiren who will help, and ask Concubine Shu to intercede, so that you can move to Tongxia Palace! β
Yun Fenghuan's face is not very good-looking, I heard Xiufu say that Concubine Yue is not easy to get along with, but I didn't see the real person and finally had a glimmer of hope, but now I find that Concubine Yue is more difficult to serve than Xiufu said - but she disapproves of what the maid said about interceding with Concubine Shu: "You didn't listen to Concubine Yue?" Let's come to her, the eight achievements are the meaning of the concubine. In this case, what good result can Tuo Qingman have if he intercedes with Concubine Shu? β
"My aunt also said before, Qingman and Concubine Shuniang are not mothers, don't bother her when the time comes...... Although Concubine Yue has many rules, let's be careful, don't we just make mistakes? β
However, having said that, I really knew how difficult it was to really abide by Concubine Yue's rules: in the evening of that day, Yun Fenghuang and Nian Xuan commanded a rough palace maid and an errand attendant on Xi Xingxuan's side, and finally got the things they brought into the palace, but someone came to the main hall and asked Yun Fenghuan to go over and serve Concubine Yue for dinner.
Forget it, the daughters-in-law of large families often have to serve their in-laws, and the orthodox ladies like Yun Fenghuang have not practiced. The problem is that she met Concubine Yue for the first time, where did she know Concubine Yue's preferences?
So in the process of serving, Concubine Yue either disliked this or that, and Yun Fenghuan, who was bitter and mean, became more and more at a loss, and the last one missed, and turned a bowl of not so hot soup on Concubine Yue's sleeve!
"!" Concubine Yue was furious, stood up violently, and raised her hand to slap her!
But Yun Fenghuang knelt on the ground in a panic at this time, choked up and begged for mercy: "Niangniang forgive the sin, the concubine didn't mean it!" β
Concubine Yue slapped in the air, refused to give up, shook off the support of the palace maid, got up from her seat, and planned to continue to teach the little Baolin in front of her, who knew that at this time there was a long tone of communication from the temple outside: "The emperor has arrivedββ"
