Stepping out of the house, Mrs. Mu led the whole house to kneel at the door to send off, but Mrs. Yaohua did not look back, just held her face high, stubbornly not letting tears fall.

Sitting in the carriage that led to her, Mrs. Yaohua's face had been pale all the time, and the rouge on her cheeks seemed to be painted on a mask, "Yanyan," she suddenly spoke, "Do you think I can still come out in this life?" ”

"Niangniang," Yan Yan paused, "don't say this in the future." "It's better to shatter unrealistic fantasies as soon as possible, otherwise in this palace, her life may be in danger in the future.

Mrs. Yaohua's eyes were clear, but there was a bit of sadness on her face, she couldn't help but soften her heart, but Zhao Zhao opened her mouth at this time, "Niangniang, remember that you are not alone, whether it is the future of the Mufu or your life, it is all pinned on you alone!" ”

Mrs. Yaohua closed a pair of beautiful pictures, unwilling to speak again, Yan Yan only looked at Zhao Zhao seriously for the first time at this moment, she only thought it was delicate at first glance, but when she looked closely, there was a cold charm, although she was the same age as Mu Guiyi, but this mind was rarely deep.

Staggered all the way and finally saw the vermilion gate, the carriage drove into the gate without hurrying or slow, Yan Yan's heart tightened for no reason, panic and uneasiness all came to her mind at this moment.

Hearing the heavy sound of the door closing, Mrs. Yaohua's question echoed in her mind, "In this life, can I still come out", there is a clear rule in the palace that palace maids will be released from the palace at the age of twenty-five, but it is in the small world of Mufu that some slightly beautiful maids are married and sold by Mrs. Mu for various reasons.

With Mrs. Yaohua's current "honorable favor", if she does not restrain it at that time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to live to the age of twenty-five. Then, she forced herself to stop thinking about it, and now it was just the beginning, and the one who was good to the "chess pieces" that had been used, as long as the "chess pieces" were settled.

The carriage went forward for a while and stopped, there were eunuchs outside the car to respectfully invite the newcomers to get off, the Great Tilt Dynasty respected filial piety, and the current royal family is to lead by example, so the first thing all the newcomers who enter the palace is to meet the current Yueyue first, and there are special eunuchs to guide the way. Yan Yan helped Mrs. Yaohua get out of the carriage, and saw Zhao Zhao, who was one step earlier, stuffing a piece of broken silver into the hand of a eunuch, and asked him to take care of Dian Yunyun on the way with a smile.

All the newcomers gathered, and a big eunuch who had been standing aside for some years led the two little eunuchs to come forward and salute, "Newcomers, the Queen Mother is waiting for a banquet in the Feng Palace in the West Garden, and the three Niangniang are already waiting in the palace for the newcomers to say goodbye, and the newcomers please come with the miscellaneous family." ”

Passing through a door, I saw a row of sedan chairs waiting there according to their rank, helping Mrs. Yaohua to get on the sedan chair, Yan Yan and Zhao Zhao walked beside the sedan chair alone, now it is spring, but the weather is still a little dry and cold, so the concubines sit on the sedan chair on all sides of the thick brocade curtain, and then put down a bamboo curtain. The sedan chair was carried on the shoulders of four little eunuchs and walked steadily. Turn a corner and enter a small garden with cobblestone paths.

In this labyrinthine palace city, I finally saw the West Garden, and there were already three sedan chairs parked at the gate of the garden.

In order to show respect for the elders, everyone who came here, regardless of status, got off the sedan chair and walked into the Feng Palace. Yan Yan helped Mrs. Yaohua and followed the leading eunuch across the gate of the West Garden, and what caught her eye was a row of wisteria trellises, and the dense branches and leaves were also a good place to cool down in summer. All the way forward, you will see a blue pond floating water hyacinth, a few koi fish floating in the green leaves, across the blue pond across a curved white jade bridge, cross the bridge and wait for the Phoenix Palace in front of you.

Walking to the main hall, the hanging plaque reads "Sleeping Moon Palace", and Mrs. Yaohua sighed, "What's the meaning of being a queen!" "A woman's youth is fleeting, and in this harem, a woman can only desperately gain fame and fortune when she is in the middle of her life, and climb all the way to the throne of the queen, which can be regarded as temporarily stable.

At that time, as the mother of a country, her youth was gone, and she looked in the mirror, but she didn't see the face of the city, but she still had to continue to calculate, preventing others from calculating her seat. What about being the mother of a nation?

At the entrance of the palace, there is a new problem, according to the palace rules, only the concubines above the concubine can bring the palace maid to see the princess, except for the queen and the imperial concubine, who can bring two people, and the others are only allowed to bring one person. Just when Yan Yan was entangled, she felt that Mrs. Yaohua was holding her hand, and Zhao Zhao had already stepped back first, which was to signal her to follow up.

Entering the hall, the concubines and concubines stood in front of Jueyue according to their ranks, and the palace maid retreated to the seat where the concubines were sitting, everything was ready, and when she heard a "kneel", the people in the hall knelt down together, bowed their hands to the ground, and started when they touched the ground, and their mouths were called Chitose.

"Flat," with the old man's unique hoarse voice, faintly revealing a majesty and sharpness, Yan Yan couldn't help but peek at the old man in front of her, wearing a nine-tailed phoenix crown on a gray bun, a well-maintained face, looking like a person in his forties, but looking closely at the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, the corners of her flabby mouth are still obvious. Dressed in a dark red cloud brocade palace costume, a golden phoenix drove a nine-colored auspicious cloud on the back of the meandering back, with its head down and its nine tails facing up, as if it was looking for a sycamore branch to stop.

Inadvertently met the slightly closed eyes, and the shimmering essence in them surprised her, and she forgot to react, and it took a long time to react, and she hurriedly lowered her eyes, and cold sweat soaked the clothes on her body. The palace rules stipulate that the palace maid is not qualified to face the nobles, and can only look down at the one-third of an acre of land under her feet.

This is the third time I've seen this Empress Dowager!

"Alright, I've met some of your sisters, Tassel." The casual tone made people feel that this Empress Dowager Jueyue was very unfathomable, and a grandmother standing behind her stepped forward to salute the rules, "The slave maid is surnamed Yu, I have seen all the maids, all the maids are blessed," about forty years old, and the gentle smile on her face makes people look very comfortable, "Please allow the slave maid to dare to introduce you to the maids," I saw her turn sideways to the left, "This is Concubine Wang Xian,"

Everyone saluted the woman with the highest position in the palace at present, "They are all their own sisters, get up!" With a gentle and soft voice, a slender jade hand floated in the air, but Yan Yan's gaze fell on the ribbon hanging from her waist, and the colorful and six-tailed Luan Feng was singing, "This is Mrs. Yaohua, right?" My sister is really a beautiful country, I like it tightly, and I have time to come to my palace to sit. ”

Mrs. Yaohua's voice is like a calm lake, flat as a mirror, no sorrow or joy, "Sister is wrongly loved, as long as my sister is free, I will definitely come to see her." Without waiting for Concubine Wang Xian to continue talking, Mama Yu had already continued to continue, and when she saw her, she reflexively saluted to the right, "This is Mrs. Wen Yu." The newcomer in the palace turned around and saluted again, but only heard a sneer.

"Queen Mother, the day before yesterday, I heard that the three talented women in the capital are among the girls in this show, I don't know which three?" The delicate timbre, but she opened her eyes and said nonsense, and selectively forgot the previous re-election, the Queen Mother did not answer, but Concubine Wang Xian "poofed" and laughed, "My sister is really, the head of the talented woman is in front of you, but you turn a blind eye." ”

"Huh, this one?" Listening to the voice, it seems to be very innocent, but now it is clear, this Wang Xianfei and Mrs. Wen Yu are jointly going to give the newcomer a dismount, one or two have no intention of asking people to get up, the newcomers present maintain the action of bending over and bending their knees, their backs are stiff, and the two of them are still singing and harmonizing.
