Listening to the sound of cicadas chirping outside the window, I quickly fell asleep.

"Miss, it's time to get up. Yu Zhaoyi's palace maid said that after dinner, I want you to go with her to greet the concubine. "Purple Star's voice woke me up.

"Good. Ask someone to come in and make up for me. I sat up and looked at my surroundings in a trance.

As the palace maids came in and out, I came back to my senses.

After dinner, I came to the main hall of Tsinghua Palace.

"Say hello to Zhaoyi Niangniang." When I arrived, Wu Yuyan was sitting on the main seat drinking tea.

"Flat." Putting down the tea, Wu Yuyan looked at me, "It's not too early, let's go with the palace to say hello to the concubine." ”

With that, he stood up and took the lead and walked out.

I followed behind Wu Yuyan and observed her posture. Looking at her casual steps, she didn't hide her nature because she was in the harem, and it could be seen that she should be a bright and upright person. Of course, it is also possible that she is hiding too deeply, and even her usual habits are disguised very well.

Standing in the courtyard of the Yuzhen Palace, Wu Yuyan stopped, turned back to me and said, "The palace has gone in first, and you will go in with the new people who have entered the palace later." ”

"Yes." I salute respectfully.

After Wu Yuyan left, I saw Yin'er standing not far from me and walked over to greet her.

"Yin'er, did you sleep well last night?"

"I'm a little homesick, I didn't sleep well, what about you, sister?" It seems that because of the first time I left home, the sound is a little sluggish.

"Well, I'll get used to it later." I squeezed her face soothingly.

"Concubine De Niangniang has arrived!"

While they were talking, the eunuch's singing harmony came.

I saw Chen Jing walk in behind a concubine dressed in blue.

"Concubine De Niangniang Jin'an." The crowd saluted.

"Flat."

Without stopping, Concubine De walked into the main hall by herself.

At this time, an expressionless grandmother walked out.

"All the ladies please stand up according to their grades, and follow the old slave into the hall to greet the concubine."

"Yes."

The crowd lined up in two lines.

"The new concubine greets the concubine." The chamberlain dressed in the royal blue eunuch uniform sang loudly, and our new concubines entered the palace this time into the inner hall.

"The concubine asks for the concubine Niangniang, I have seen all the maidens."

The voices of the crowd fell, but there was no shouting, and we could only maintain a kneeling position.

Sister Guifei's face was ruddy, which showed that the emperor took pity. Even the newlyweds accompanied their sister on the first night they entered the palace, which shows that her sister is the most important person in the emperor's heart. A concubine far away from the throne covered her mouth and smiled. Thinking of the news in the palace that I know, this should be Xu Qian.

"Sister Xiu is polite, the emperor just discussed some things with the palace yesterday, so he didn't go to the new sisters who entered the palace." That being said, there was still a hint of smugness in the uplifted tone.

"The sisters are still kneeling, so let's let them get up first." Concubine De interjected.

"Seeing that this palace only cares about chatting with you, I forgot that the new sisters are still kneeling. Arise, give a seat. ”

"Xie Guifei Niangniang." Everyone got up and sat down in their seats.

"Today is the first day for you to ask this palace for peace, and this palace will say a few more words. The younger sisters are fortunate to enter the palace, and they must abide by the rules of being concubines, not to be pampered and arrogant, and not to try to meddle in the affairs of the previous dynasty. Do you get it, sisters? At the end, his voice became more and more cold.

"Follow the teachings of the mother." The people stood up and saluted.

"The Imperial Maiden Lin is here?" Suddenly, Liu Yuyang called Yin'er's name. For some reason, I was a little uneasy.

"The concubine is here." Yin'er stood up.

"This palace heard that my sister spoke wildly yesterday, are you guilty?!"

"Concubines. . . The concubine didn't mean it, please forgive the concubine. Yin'er's voice trembled a little, presumably terrified.

Yes, the concubine is the daughter of the general of the dynasty, and yesterday Yin'er said that the military general, she must have been remembered by the concubine. However, what frightens me the most is the concubine's control of the inner palace. It was just a small quarrel, and she knew about it the next day, not to mention that Sun Qi silenced everyone, it seems that she must be more careful in the future.

"Niangniang, she did it on purpose, you must punish her severely." Chen Jing couldn't sit still again. Yesterday, she was unwilling, and at this time, she naturally fell into the well.

"Niangniang, the concubines have also heard about yesterday's incident, Chen Cairen and Lin Imperial Nu are at fault, so it's better to spare them this time." Concubine Shu interceded.

"There are no rules, there is no circle, and my sisters, as concubines of the Son of Heaven, should be more cautious in their words and deeds. The emperor asked the palace to take care of the six palaces, how can anyone make mistakes, so where is the prestige of the palace, and where is the majesty of the palace rules? Liu Yuyang said fiercely and did not give in.

"I beg Niangniang to forgive Imperial Lady Lin, she will not dare to do it again next time." I pleaded.

"Presumptuous, there is no room for you to interject when this palace speaks! Where have you learned the rules? Liu Yuyang slapped the table, obviously angry.

"Passing on the palace order, the talented Chen Jing and the maid Lin Yayin were disrespectful, punished with a five-day grounding, and copied the rites once. Baolin Lin Yaxin was disrespectful, punished with a three-day grounding, and copied the rites once. ”

"Yes." The grandmother beside Liu Yuyang led the order and walked out.

"Xie Guifei Niangniang."

Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en, although Liu Yuyang is not a king, but she is the ruler of this harem, and it is still very easy to punish a few low-ranking concubines. We can only be grateful.

"Stand down." Liu Yuyang picked up the tea and drank it.

"The concubines and others will retire."

The entrance of Yuzhen Palace

"You wait for me!" Chen Jing put down the cruel words at Yin'er and walked away.

"Sister, I'm sorry, it's all Yin'er who has bothered you." Yin'er cried as she spoke.

"It's okay, silly girl, go back to the palace quickly, don't be so bold in the future." I wiped her with a handkerchief.

On the way back to the palace, I thought about today's events. Liu Yuyang can achieve the position of a noble concubine, and she can still be pampered, it must not be a simple role, and today's irritability is probably deliberately shown to us. Yesterday's incident only happened when the newcomer asked for peace for the first time today, which not only kept her privileges as the "master of the harem", but also successfully gave us the power to get off the horse.

Today, the emperor will definitely announce that the newcomer will be bed, and the first person to serve will definitely become the target of public criticism. When you can't soar into the sky, you still have to hibernate. Although it is unlikely that the emperor will be the first to announce me, it is still necessary to avoid accidents. In this way, a three-day grounding is not very bad.
