Yulian, who is getting more and more haggard in Qinglin Palace, has an unknown tune all day long. The red clothes have nothing to do, and there are many palace maids and eunuchs in the palace. As a jade beauty's personal maid, she has become the leader of the palace maids, and Qinglin Palace is full of little girls' footsteps.

"Sister, someone is coming."

Yulian was still dressed in simple clothes and had not pulled up the woman's hair, and several concubines in the palace came to see it in the past few days. The concubine's eyes Yulian was afraid in her heart, and she was kind and kind, but Yulian had a feeling that those sisters seemed to have the intention of devouring themselves alive. Especially which concubine Jing, who has no children in her life, is only twenty or eight years old, born as a palace maid, and there are no dignitaries outside the palace, and she has been in the palace alone for more than ten years.

As an unfavored concubine, she didn't see the emperor for two years, and Yulian knew that the women in the palace were the most difficult. Every palace maid is looking forward to getting the emperor's favor and flying on the branches to become a phoenix, but what can she do with the emperor Chunxiao, the favor that she can't get is still not available, and she is not as good as a palace maid alive. At least the palace maid still has the opportunity to leave the palace, once she becomes a concubine, it will be a lifetime, the emperor can still enjoy the treatment of a concubine, once the dynasty is changed, there are no heirs, and she is more lonely.

Looking back at the outside of the main hall, I felt lonely that I had never felt before. There are thirty-five people in the Qinglin Palace, twenty-seven palace maids do some cleaning and take care of the beauty's food, clothing and daily life, and eight eunuchs mostly work hard. The only master, Ji Yulian, only has a little girl to serve her, but there are many people who have unprecedented scruples, and the only sustenance in the Qinglin Palace is only a little girl.

Standing up and walking slowly, the red clothes jumped to the side. "Who's here in the red coat?" Yulian asked.

Hongyi smiled and said, "I heard Sister Qiushui say that it seems to be a princess." ”

Tidying up his clothes and walking out of the palace, he saw a woman in her thirties in front of her. The woman bowed down and bowed to the junior, if the old man of Qinglin Palace would know this Rongya woman, it was Princess Qi. Princess Qi has a picture of a beauty, and it is more of some dim sum that is only available outside the palace.

Yulian hurriedly returned the salute, and the princess said softly: "Niangniang, the retainers came to visit a little late." ”

I can't afford to be disgusted with this kind woman Yulian from the bottom of my heart, and her gestures make people feel like a spring breeze and can't help but get close. Yulian didn't know anyone, and the old man in the palace next to her immediately saluted: "The slave maid visits Princess Qi." ”

This is to remind Yulian that this is the princess of Qi, the only princess in Taiping City today. The previous good impression was gone, and Yulian didn't show her disgust and said, "Please." ”

Princess Qi smiled softly, making the red clothes beside her couldn't help but marvel that there was such a woman in the world. A smile makes people gentle and light, and there is no trace of fear, and deep down I can't help but respect. The magnificence of temperament is far more attractive than the glory of clothing, and the woman exudes this kind of dignified nobility without heavy makeup.

As Yulian walked into the palace, it was not strange but strange. Unexpectedly, Qinglin Palace is still the same as it was at the beginning, and there is almost no change in turning a xylophone into a double finch qin. The two favorite begonia flowers in front of the mother concubine are already standing tall in winter. Those are the seeds of the two hometown begonias that Princess Qi gave to Concubine Xin, and they were brought from Shu to Taiping City. There is a begonia flower in the palace of the king of Qi, and two plants will be sent to the palace every spring, only this year.

Princess Qi stroked the begonia flowers curiously, recalling the scene in front of her mother. is also a woman in Shuzhong, and there is a natural closeness. Princess Qi has a cowardly personality, far less domineering than the side concubine, and she can't handle some small things well when she first arrives in the Qi Palace. Once when she entered the palace to meet her mother, Concubine Xin once said: "If you want to keep a man's heart, fighting everywhere will only cause disgust." Being in the royal family is also a husband's family. As a wife, you can not understand anything, and you must not make your husband feel bad. Men? After all, you will be more generous to your wife, and women should also be generous, and you can't always compete for the first place in small things. Kun'er is the king of Qi and her husband, and she will also be a father in the future, and it is natural that her husband and son should be a wife, and she can't share her worries, so don't worry as much as possible. ”

Recalling the past scenes, the corners of King Qi's eyes were a little moist, and he missed his mother who had never fought for anything, and he seemed to lack nothing like himself.

Yulian stepped forward and asked, "The princess likes begonias." ”

Princess Qi said: "Well, these two begonias were given to the mother concubine last spring. I can't imagine that Niangniang can still take care of the slim and slim, and I think that Niangniang is also a person who loves flowers. ”

In a short period of time, I knew that this was Princess Qi, but I still didn't feel any disgust, just like the first impression. Yulian replied: "There are no begonias in my hometown, there are peach blossoms all over the mountains. There is one of the largest peach groves at the foot of Niujiao Mountain, which exudes a sweet fragrance every spring. Many of them are 100-year-old trees, and they bear sweet and delicious fruit in autumn. ”

Speaking of her hometown, her eyes are serious and a little lonely, Princess Qi sees everything in her eyes. Born in Shuzhong, he is only the bottom of the clan, and he has seen a lot of ordinary girls. Looking at Yulian with a soft smile, I couldn't help but feel a little sad in my heart. Curiously asked, "Is the peach forest in Niangniang's hometown very big?" ”

It's been a long time since anyone asked about her hometown, and Yulian is full of memories and talks about interesting things when she was a child. From the fact that my father forced me to learn sake brewing for the first time to the interesting story of only one woman in the school, I was full of smiles when I talked about these jade loties.

Hongyi looked at her sister as if she hadn't been so happy for a long time, and she was inevitably a little happy in her heart. It's just that these sisters don't seem to have mentioned it to themselves in the future, and there is a swarthy little girl named Xiaohua in my sister's hometown, and people like to stick to their sister the most as their name suggests.

Princess Qi looked a little lonely and said: "I really envy Niangniang, she was carefree when she was a child." From a small family, he was forced to learn the rules and etiquette of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and if there was anything wrong, he would be reproached by his husband. Speaking of this, Princess Qi lowered her head and looked at Yulian who listened seriously.

The pause was not spoken, and he bowed his head and bowed for a long time without getting up. Yulian hurriedly helped, and Princess Qi still couldn't stop the three kowtows of the Qi Palace. Princess Qi said sincerely: "Miss Ji, I am here to apologize to the girl for the prince, and I don't ask for the girl's forgiveness." This is what the prince owes to the girl, if there is anything inconvenient, you can send someone to tell you, I will try my best to do it. ”

Hongyi knew that the person in front of him was Princess Qi, and she was about to speak, when Yulian stretched out her hand to stop her: "He did it, why do you need to pay it back." I don't accept your apology, what is the use of saying this after it has happened. ”

Saying that, she still helped Princess Qi up, Princess Qi did not formalize and got up and saluted respectfully under the support of Yulian: "Niangniang has decided some things since the day she was born, how can I not be a victim of the family since I was born." It's just that I was lucky enough to meet His Royal Highness King Qi. ”

The same woman, the same body, involuntarily, but it is a world of difference. One can come together with his beloved, he is a princess, and one is involuntarily in the interests of the family, and he is in a conspiracy, but as a princess, he is a person who loves more and more. It wasn't until now that Yulian understood why Yang Chen stayed in the Red Sleeves all day long, and why Mrs. Fang rarely gave guidance when she saw Yang Chen. The bits and pieces are counted by someone in the morning, and everything is helpless and sad.

Yulian looked at the gentle Princess Qi, and could see that King Qi was a gentle person, so he had no choice but to treat his family without a plan. Although I like the princess Qi in front of me, the facts are facts after all. said: "What can happen now, who can undo it." ”

After thinking about it in his heart, he continued: "Princess Qi may send me a few letters, don't let anyone know." ”

Princess Qi nodded seriously and said, "Yes, Niangniang can trust me." ”

Yulian's eyes were full of helplessness and said, "In this heavenly prison, who else can I trust." The red clothes can still leave the palace can the princess agree not to tell the king of qi the three letters I wrote. He turned his head and saw that there were only three people in the main hall.

Princess Qi said: "If there is no one else in this palace, I can swear." "Serious eyes.

Hongyi then took out four letters at Yulian's signal, and Yulian handed over five letters to Princess Qi. Princess Qi never opened it, and it was a little strange to look at the signature. Three letters, one to Liu Zhixing, who was far away in Nanjing, one to Zhang Bai, and one to Mrs. Lu of Huangqu. Only the last letter Princess Qi didn't know, let alone know that there was such a place. There are only three words, but Wen Xiaoming's back poke is the Ren family in Shandong.

Holding the letter written to Wen Xiaoming in his hand, he asked: "Who is Wen Xiaoming, Niangniang, and who is this Shandong Ren family." ”

Yulian said: "He is my younger brother, I have never been to the Ren family in Shandong, Miss Ren once said that he was the richest man in Shandong, it should be very easy to inquire." Whether the princess can deliver this letter to Xiao Ming, in fact, I am not sure, the rivers and lakes are not smaller than a country. ”

Pointing to another letter, he said, "This letter can be sent to Huangqu with the letter addressed to my master, and Sister Wen will naturally receive it." ”

Princess Qi nodded silently in agreement, and was about to ask if she needed help, when someone outside the hall hurriedly came: "Niangniang, the crown princess is here, and she is still waiting outside the palace." ”

Hearing that the crown princess appeared as Princess Qi, she still didn't say anything. Immediately put the five letters into his cuff and said, "The concubine will leave first." Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly stopped, but instead of talking to Yulian, she said to Hongyi: "Little girl, remember not to call your sister in front of outsiders, but to call Yumei a living mother." After speaking, he smiled at Yulian and turned to leave.

Leaving a confused red dress, he looked up at Yulian, who had been shouting for her sister. Most of the maids in the house are called misses, or girls.

Yulian said: "You can listen, there should still be rules." ”

In fact, King Qi suddenly repented after reminding him, and talked with Princess Qi about many rules in the palace. What are the rules are strict, and no one can predict what will happen if there is a hint of inappropriateness. Concubine Jing has been here a few times, and she has also inadvertently talked about some palace secrets, mostly because she whispered in private and disappeared overnight when a concubine or steward heard it.

I saw that the crown princess and the princess of Qi saluted each other but were speechless, and the two of them behaved respectfully as usual. Yulian deeply understands the importance of etiquette, and what she knows is just imitation, where do you know what kind of etiquette it should be to face Princess Qi, meet the crown princess, or face the queen or even those concubines in the palace. After entering the palace for several months, no one taught him, and he never left Qinglin Palace and knew nothing.

As the crown princess came, Yulian seemed a little at a loss, and the crown princess was different from Princess Qi. One person is gentle and warm, and one person is born to be superior when he stands in front of him. Especially the crown princess looked at Yulian several times since she entered the palace, and it was terrifying to see people through. In this woman's eyes, it seemed that everything about Yulian was at a glance, and she felt that this person was not easy to get along with from the bottom of her heart.

The crown princess came to salute the juniors, and Yulian didn't know how to return the salute for a while. The crown princess is different from Princess Qi, and the princess can be informal, but she can't do it in the face of the princess, and she won't be at ease.

Facing the crown princess to salute, Yulian couldn't help but set her eyes on the palace maid of Qinglin Palace. These etiquettes are as Princess Qi said, big or small, and the palace maid was at a loss when she saw her master. The palace maid hurriedly posed beside her, and Yulian returned the salute like a palace maid, and she didn't know whether it was right or wrong, after all, this palace maid was not any palace maid before. Seeing the gaze of the princess's personal maid, Yulian knew that the return gift was wrong.

The crown princess still said as before: "The concubine sees the jade beauty." ”
