Chapter 33: Greetings

The three-day fast actually passed quickly, but these short three days were as difficult as three years for the beauties of the harem.

Everyone else thought that the day of fasting would pass soon, so that they could put on the green head card and go to bed, but Luo Xinfang thought that when the three days passed, she would no longer have to eat this vegan feast.

Now she was sick to see green.

On weekdays, the concubines do not have too many restrictions on dressing, they only need to pay special attention to the color of the clothing and the specifications of the accessories, so as not to commit the crime of trespass or collide with any nobleman.

In some important palace banquets, the concubines must wear fixed concubine clothes according to their respective positions to participate.

Today is the day when the new concubines meet the queen for the first time, and on such a formal day, the concubines' dress must be sloppy.

Luo Xinfang changed into the palace dress of the noble concubine, and the silver screen pulled a snake bun for Luo Xinfang, and simply decorated it with two silk gold hairpins.

After cleaning up, Yinping stepped forward to support Luo Xinfang, and said softly: "Niangniang, it's almost time." ”

The palace clothes are mostly simple, and the palace clothes on Luo Xinfang's body are not as good as the clothes she wears on weekdays.

However, it is such a simple palace dress, and I don't know how many people will do anything to wear it.

Luo Xinfang carefully looked at his clothes, and felt that it was not inappropriate, and then instructed Yinping: "Well, let's go." ”

Luo Xinfang is now a noble concubine of the third grade, and according to the regulations, there should be twelve palace people around her, and you can bring four palace people with her.

Due to the shortage of manpower in the Yuanling Palace, Luo Xinfang left Yintian in the palace, and the entourage only brought Yinping and Qiuyin.

Juhe Palace is not far from Fengyi Palace, and there is a lot of spring along the way, Luo Xinfang walked slowly along the road to enjoy the scenery and walked to Fengyi Palace, and it was still early.

She couldn't help but become more and more suspicious of the Queen Mother and the Empress's intention of allocating the Juhe Palace to her residence.

Baozhu is the palace maid in charge of Fengyi Palace, and when she saw Luo Xinfang coming, Baozhu immediately stepped forward with a smile and saluted Luo Xinfang.

"The slave has seen the noble concubine. You're here early, and the queen is still getting dressed, so you might as well go in and have tea and wait for a while. After that, Luo Xinfang was introduced to Fengyi Palace.

Luo Xinfang walked into the Nanxun Hall of the main hall of Fengyi Palace and found that there were already more than ten people in the hall.

Most of these dozen or so people sat in the back seats, and they should all be low-ranking concubines selected for the ceremony. And the seats in front are basically empty, and it seems that she is the first to come among the high-ranking concubines.

Luo Xinfang's gaze gently swept over the dozen or so people sitting in the hall, and finally saw Wang Lingyi on a back seat.

Wang Lingyi also noticed Luo Xinfang. In fact, since the moment Luo Xinfang entered the hall, Wang Lingyi's eyes have never taken his eyes off Luo Xinfang.

At this time, Wang Ling saw Luo Xinfang set his eyes on her, and the corners of her lips hooked slightly, revealing an extremely gentle smile.

This smile is like a delicate rui stained with morning dew in the morning, refracting colorful brilliance under the illumination of the morning light, which makes people's hearts stir and dazzle.

Luo Xinfang secretly admired in her heart.

It turns out that there is really a saying in this world that looks back and smiles at a hundred beautiful people, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive me.

Luo Xinfang just wanted to return a polite smile, but when he saw the person sitting under Wang Lingyi, he froze the half-brewed smile on his face.

Shen Lin?

Shen Lin was actually selected?

The matter of the jade pendant was suppressed, and Shen Man was finally sent out of the palace on the grounds of illness. That day, Lin Xizhi went to the Phixiang Hall alone, saying that she was going to talk to Shen Lin, and she thought that Shen Lin would not be selected.

Now she saw Shen Lin sitting in the position under Wang Lingyi.

She wondered if something was wrong with her eyes.

But well......

Anyway, my grandfather is also a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and Shen Lin's score is too unusual.

Shen Lin sat there, drinking tea by herself, completely uncaring about Luo Xinfang's gaze at her.

Luo Xinfang didn't look at her anymore, turned around and sat in the middle of the hall with the hand of the silver screen.

No matter what Lin Xizhi planned in her heart, she Luo Xinfang was completely uninterested in Shen Lin.

Shen Lin lowered his head, put the empty tea cup in his hand on the sandalwood table beside him, and quietly removed the resentful light in his eyes.

She thought that she had done that thing seamlessly, but she didn't know why she was noticed by Lin Xizhi.

She didn't like Shen Man a little, but she never thought of harming her own sister at all.

Since her tricks were exposed by Lin Xizhi last time in the Lin Mansion, she understood that she only had the only way left to enter the palace.

My aunt told her father everything she had done in the Lin Mansion, and in a fit of rage, my father wanted to marry her to the son of a wealthy merchant. Shinong, businessmen, and eunuchs all regard business as cheap, how can she be committed to marrying into such a family?

It was her mother who interceded for her, saying that it was not too late to make a decision after the election.

Therefore, she can't lose the election, she must not lose the election, if she loses the election, she will only have the way to marry a businesswoman.

How could she be willing?

And the draft has a rule, in order to prevent factional strife and extravagance and waste, only one sister of the same clan can be selected.

Therefore, Shen Man and her are destined to have only one person enter the palace.

Even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance, she can't be defeated.

That day, she used an uncomfortable stomach to shake off Shen Man, who was sticking to her, and when she was worrying about how to make Shen Man lose the election, it was God who gave her a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

She picked up a piece of sheep fat jade in an inconspicuous flower bush. It's not that she hasn't seen the world, and she concluded on the spot that this piece of mutton fat jade pendant would definitely not be dropped by a show girl from a small family, and it must have been lost by a high-ranking lady who was careless for a while.

Seeing that there was no one around, she lightly picked up the jade pendant, so nervous that her palms were sweaty.

If she put this jade pendant into Shen Man's package, as long as the person who threw the jade pendant made a noise, she would be able to ......

She also asked herself, did she really want to harm her own sister?

Immediately, she thought of the picture of herself marrying the son of a wealthy merchant.

Shen Lin clenched the mutton fat jade pendant in his hand and made a final decision.

Xiaoman, I'm sorry. Just think it's for my sister......

Later, when things broke out, she heard that the jade pendant was lost by Zhou Xin, and she was ecstatic for a while. Zhou Xin was very arrogant, Wei Qingshuang, who she followed all day long, was even more domineering, with so many targets in front, how could anyone think that she was the one who harmed her sister?

She also thought that this matter would not be discovered by a second person other than her.

But it didn't work out, she miscalculated.

This was discovered by the least likely person to find out!

Lin Xizhi......

Luo Xinfang's surprised reaction after seeing her was also a little unusual, maybe Luo Xinfang was also involved in this matter.

Why do you want to get in the way of her??

Originally, with her family background, there was no problem in sealing a concubine, it must have been Lin Xizhi who made a hindrance from her, so that she changed from a five-grade concubine to a small seven-grade talent.

Now she is not as good as the daughter of a secretary and a young eunuch!

Shen Lin glanced sideways at Wang Lingyi's beautiful face, and a vicious look flashed in her eyes.

"Since you gave me the opportunity to enter the palace, then I will make you regret it for the rest of your life!" Shen Lin secretly launched a poisonous oath in her heart.

At this time, the high-ranking concubines also arrived one after another, and after Lin Xizhi walked to the front position and sat down, she winked at Luo Xinfang playfully.

Luo Xinfang was so amused that she covered her lips and smiled.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!" The shrill voice of the waiter in the Yellow Gate suddenly sounded.

The warblers and swallows in the hall stood up in unison, bringing a gust of fragrant wind.

"Concubines and concubines see the queen's mother."

Luo Xinfang quickly raised her eyelids and glanced at the queen.

The day of the palace election was far away, and she didn't see the face of the queen of the world clearly, but now that she was in this Fengyi Palace, and the seat was in the front, her curiosity could finally be satisfied.

On the day of the concubine's first visit, the queen was naturally waiting for her. Today's queen is dressed to attend, wearing a crown of nine dragons and four phoenixes, wearing a phoenix robe with a golden dragon and phoenix pattern, and her face is painted with thick makeup, showing off her phoenix grace.

It's just that such a strong makeup doesn't match the faint bookish aura on her body.

The queen raised her hand to everyone and said with a serious expression: "Let's all be flat." Now that the sisters have entered the harem, they are the emperor's concubines, and they must put the emperor first in everything, serve the emperor with all their hearts, and spread out for the emperor. ”

"Concubines and concubines should remember the teachings of the queen."

Seeing that the palace concubines were all well-mannered, the queen returned to her usual dignified smile and said, "Sisters, don't stand, sit down and have some refreshments." ”

After the palace concubines took their seats, the queen glanced at the empty position on the lower left, turned her head sideways to Baozhu and asked, "Han Guifei has not arrived yet?" ”

Baozhu immediately replied: "Yes, Niangniang, the noble concubine Niangniang may have something delayed." ”

"Sister Guifei is really, in the past, only me and her lived in this palace, and she always complained that the harem was too deserted, and now the main hall of this Fengyi Palace is finally half full, but she is still late, how chilling these new sisters are." The queen sighed lightly as she spoke.

The new concubines all looked a little unpleasant when they heard the queen's words, but no one dared to answer the queen's words.

The queen and the concubine are fighting, and they, the newcomers who have just entered the court, can only watch from the sidelines.
