According to the old practice, the new concubine who entered the palace should greet the queen, Xue Wanqing picked a plain palace dress, and walked out of the house with the support of Qiao Lan and walked towards the Changqing Palace.

Changqing Palace is the palace where the queens of the past dynasties lived, with golden brilliance and tall majesty. The pillars made of gold are carved with golden phoenixes, and the grains of the inlaid baht on them are clear, all showing the dignity of the queen. The peony flowers outside the palace bloom all over the road, with a strong fragrance and even a little pungent.

Due to the long distance, I walked for about two quarters of an hour before I saw the Changqing Palace. "Miss, we seem to be the first." Qiaoyun was sharp-eyed and found that there was no one outside the palace.

"Wait." Xue Wanqing stopped and looked around, "There's a gazebo over there, let's go there and sit down first, and then go in when everyone is here." After speaking, he walked towards the pavilion first.

"Miss, what's the point?" Qiaoyun asked puzzled while hurrying to keep up with Xue Wanqing's pace.

"If you go too early, it's eye-catching." Xue Wanqing glanced at Qiaoyun and Qiaolan, "Now we must act in a low-key, low-key, low-key manner." ”

After walking for a while, the three of them came to this pavilion, which is located in the middle of the lake and is a pavilion in the middle of the lake. There is a plaque hanging on the pavilion, which reads "Nanshuang Pavilion", compared to this is the largest Nanshuang Pavilion in the harem, and it is really extraordinary.

"Come to think of it, this kind of scenery is much more comfortable than those splendid palaces. Ah, how beautiful! "Maybe it's because the air is cold in the early morning, and there is a thin morning mist floating on the lake, a holy place on earth.

"When you reach the age of twenty-eight, you will be able to leave the palace, and when the time comes, you will definitely find such a beautiful scenery and spend your life in peace." Xue Wanqing looked at Qiao Yun and Qiao Lan, and said seriously, "Alas, I don't have this opportunity, as soon as I enter the palace gate, it's as deep as the sea, and I can't get out." ”

"Miss......"

"Talented people ......"

Qiao Yun and Qiao Lan couldn't help but feel a little sad when they heard Xue Wanqing say this.

Xue Wanqing smiled: "Okay, why are you crying and mourning." ”

"Talented, look, it seems that someone is coming." Qiao Lan heard the sound of talking, so she looked over.

Xue Wanqing looked at it, and there were two people walking towards the Changqing Palace, one was dressed in dark blue palace clothes, combed a flowing cloud bun, and there was a golden step in the gap between the hair, shaking with the step, which was extremely gorgeous. The other was dressed in a pale pink dress with a little light makeup. With a bun combed, a few golden hairpins inserted in her hair, and broken hair on her forehead, her face is petite and lovely.

"Who are they?" Xue Wanqing crossed over, and she hadn't seen them, so she naturally didn't know their identity.

Qiao Lan looked at it seriously a few times, and replied: "That dark blue palace costume is a talented person, Ming'e." The Wen family has been in business for generations, doing things for the royal family, and although they are not aristocratic officials, they are very statused. Wen Cairen's father Wen Shitian and Zhaoyi's father are close friends, it is said that Wen Cairen relied on Zhaoyi's father to enter the palace smoothly. ”

"Well, I made a note of it." It seems that it is not easy to mess with, Xue Wanqing thought to herself, got up and walked towards Changqing Palace, "What about the other one?" ”

"She's amazing. She is a Qin Cairen who entered the palace with a talented person, with a single name. Her mother used to be the personal maid of the current Queen Mother, so this Qin Cai is very popular with the Queen Mother. She didn't go through the draft, and she directly became a talent. ”

As she was talking, Xue Wanqing had already walked to the gate of Changqing Palace.

Who knows, as soon as Xue Wanqing's front foot arrived, Qin Jing and Wen E came one after another.

"Yo, who is this sister?" Wen E saw that Xue Wanqing was dressed simply, and thought that Xue Wanqing should be a small character, so she wanted to take this opportunity to be majestic in front of Xue Wanqing.

Xue Wanqing looked at Wen E's face, I don't know what she was doing, but she smiled rudely on her face, and said, "My sister is Xue Wanqing from the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

"It turned out to be the snow talent who entered the palace with me, and I forgot about my memory. My sister is not surprised. Wen E said, with a disdainful smile on her lips, her chin raised so high that Xue Wanqing could see the obvious color difference between her face and neck.

"There were a lot of people that day, and it is not strange that Wen Cairen does not remember it. Since Wen Cairen called me sister, my sister kindly told Cairen that she would remember to put on makeup evenly next time. Xue Wanqing laughed in her heart, isn't it a, look at how you are still struggling now.

"You!" Wen E's face was red and green, obviously angry.

"It's getting late, let's go in together." Xue Wanqing didn't want to quarrel with her, so she entered the Changqing Palace first.

entered the Changqing Palace, and sure enough, as Xue Wanqing expected, the queen had not yet arrived. "Like the queen, the emperor, the queen mother, or something, they are all the last to arrive, and the purpose is to pretend to be forced." Xue Wanqing muttered in her heart.

The concubines all entered the palace one after another, and in this group of flowery women, no one came to talk to Xue Wanqing, and her "inconspicuous" purpose was achieved. Now she was leisurely sipping hot tea, watching the women's hypocritical smiles and flattery.

The lively voice suddenly stopped, Xue Wanqing and the other concubines all looked forward, and the woman in the wind robe walked slowly under the support of the two palace maids, followed by several palace maids to arrange the wind robe for her. The head is crowned with a phoenix-shaped golden crown, a golden step, a beaded flower, a golden hairpin, and countless jewels. Visually twenty years old, beautiful and generous, he does have the demeanor of a queen.

"The queen mother is the daughter of Prime Minister Rong, her single name is Jiao, and her brother is a general." Qiao Lan whispered in Xue Wanqing's ear.

As soon as Rong Jiao sat on the phoenix chair, the concubines of the palace knelt on their knees, folded their hands, put them on the ground, rested their heads lightly on their hands, and said in their mouths: "The queen mother is blessed with Jin'an." ”

"Flat." Rong Jiao gently raised her hand and motioned for everyone to get up.

"I heard that the emperor has sealed a few talented people in the past few days, I don't know which ones?" Rong Jiao's sharp eyes scanned the people present.

Xue Wanqing got up with all the talents, walked to the center with small steps, knelt down on her knees, and saluted: "The queen mother is blessed with Jin'an." ”

Rong Jiao glanced at it, fixed on Xue Wanqing, frowned, and said, "You, come here." ”

Xue Wanqing was stunned for a moment, hurriedly got up, took a few steps forward, and knelt down again.

"Are you a talented person who has just entered the palace?" Rong Jiao asked.

Xue Wanqing didn't know what Rong Jiao meant, so she could only reply in a regular manner: "Concubine Yunyi Pavilion is a talented person of the Xue family, and Queen Xie is Da'an." ”

"Raise your head and show it to Hongu."

Hearing this, Xue Wanqing slowly raised her head, feeling uneasy in her heart: When did she annoy the queen?

"It's a Peugeot." Rong Jiao snorted coldly, "I came to ask for peace to this palace today, why are you dressed so plainly, do you think that my Changqing Palace is not worthy of your gorgeous clothes?" ”

"You're wearing this dress, it's not right. Is it because you are afraid that if you wear gorgeous clothes, you will compare to the queen mother? A voice like a silver bell came, and Xue Wanqing couldn't help but glance at it, the woman who spoke was gorgeously dressed, noble, and three points more beautiful than Rong Jiao.

If he didn't guess wrong, this was the only Fang Zhaoyi Fang Jinqiu in the harem who could compete with Rong Jiao.

Xue Wanqing's face did not change, she smiled, and said: "The concubine has liked plain clothes since she was a child, and she doesn't like things that are too gorgeous. Gorgeous clothes are not bad, but everyone loves them. If the concubine's clothes displease the queen's mother, the next time the concubine will change it. Xue Wanqing's words have a deep meaning, she doesn't like flashy, she only loves plain colors, that is, she wants to tell Rong Jiao that she doesn't seek glory and wealth, and she won't threaten her. She believed that Rong Jiao understood.

Rong Jiao smiled: "If Xuecai people like to wear it, they will wear it, and this palace will not stop it, otherwise the queen of this palace will not do well." ”

Xue Wanqing saluted; "Thank you, Queen Mother."
