Chapter 5 Entering the Palace

I learned all the etiquette that I should learn, and finally ushered in the day of entering the palace.

The eighth day of the eighth month of August is an auspicious day for the zodiac.

Although I was hired by the royal courtesy, according to the ancestral system, I could not bring a dowry, only a little clothing, jewelry, and money, and this was also subject to the inspection of my aunts. I think it's a pity that my mother has been preparing ten miles of red makeup since I was twelve years old!

Since my maid was born of a family, she could not be brought into the palace without formal training. I used to read those novels and thought that my maid could be brought into the palace, but the reality did not allow it, so I could only wait for the distribution of the queen at the head of the six palaces after entering the palace.

I entered the small sedan chair with a green curtain lightly, and when I lowered the sedan curtain, the surroundings fell into darkness, suffocating and oppressive.

Tears rolled down involuntarily, and I heard the person carrying the sedan chair outside shouting "Rise-" The end of the note dragged on for a long time, which dragged my heart uncomfortably. I lifted the small curtain next to me and looked back, and sure enough, I saw the mother who was crying, the father who didn't say a word, and the eldest brother, sister-in-law and sister who stood silently...... Also, Zhong Ran, he is really like in his previous life, he has been following behind, always following.

My tears flowed even more, and I lowered the curtain and sat alone in this shaky, suffocating space, crying to my heart's content.

Sometimes I wonder, why did the king choose me?

Throughout the harem, one of the concubine families is Zheng Guifei and the other is Concubine He. The queen's maternal family is not prosperous, because the current saint experienced the dictatorship of relatives during the queen mother's period when he was young, and it was not until the queen mother died that the emperor was able to remove those relatives. My father was originally good friends with the father of Concubine He, if I entered the palace, I would naturally join forces with Concubine He, and the emperor valued Concubine Zheng, how could he recruit an opponent for her?

Because of the beauty of the capital? There is no shortage of beautiful women in the world, not to mention that it is a harem, and the most beautiful women in the world are included in it, how can I be missing?

Or was it really the night of Qixi Festival, when the emperor became interested in me by mistake, and the Turkic spies were mistakenly recognized? Was he curious, what kind of woman would make such an astonishing move? He had so many concubines and so many sons, but he wanted to ruin the happiness of my life because of curiosity?

If he really marries me, then I will definitely live a very happy life in the future, and he will spoil me like a treasure who dotes on him, and will not let me suffer a little grievance, just as he treated me as well as he did in the past. We may have several children, laugh and play in the courtyard, and take them back to our grandfather's house during the holidays, so that our father can teach them poetry and our mother teach them songs......

Thinking about it, I actually began to hate again, hating that man who was on high and took my life, and also took away my power to be a mother! In this life, I will not let him succeed again!

The small sedan detour to the east side of the left Yintai Gate, bypass the Taihe Palace, and go straight into the Yeting Palace. The entire Yeting Palace is the emperor's harem, with 99 palaces of all sizes, and nearly 100 concubines lived. From then on, I was one of the nearly 100 people, sharing a husband with them.

I am a five-grade talent, as far as a woman who has just entered the palace is concerned, the grade is not low, but if it is a daughter of Shangshu, it is not high. This is probably because the emperor said that he didn't have much interest in me, and he didn't have much kindness to my father, right? But just like in my previous life, after I was pampered, I was given the title of Sipin Beauty, and later after the emperor came back from the Turkic expedition, he was awarded the title of Sanpin Jieyu. The speed of promotion is quite fast.

I still live in the Ningxiang Pavilion of Chengming Palace, which is very cramped, and the bedrooms are not as good as my boudoir. Among the servants served, there was one first-class palace maid, three second-class palace maids, and four third-class palace maids. There are two eunuchs in charge and four eunuchs. Among the second-class palace maids, there is Gu Yu, she is not called Gu Yu now, but it makes me happy, but she does not show it on the face.

After the eunuch who brought me over left, a group of people came up to meet me, and I sat on the chair of the master in the main hall, looking at them quietly. They knelt respectfully, and they didn't dare to make a sound, and I couldn't make a sound. At the beginning, because I was not used to others kneeling, I smiled and asked them all to get up, but later, except for Gu Yu, I walked and walked, and I was centrifuged.

"Get up!" I raised my hand in a languid tone.

They stood up one by one, and sure enough, their faces were all filled with fear. I nodded secretly and said, "I won't say anything superfluous, as long as you serve wholeheartedly in the future, I will not treat you badly." Okay, since you will all serve me in the future, your name will be changed according to my preference! Caidie, you will be called the vernal equinox and pearl in the future, you will be called Gu Yu in the future, Xiaoman will be called Xiaoman in the future, and Xiaohan will be called in the peach blossom. As for the two of you...... You don't have to change it. The flowers bloom richly, and there are more than enough every year, which is very good. "One of these two little eunuchs is called Xiao Fugui and the other is Liu Youyu, which is very interesting. "The third-class palace maids and rough eunuchs can't get close to me, and if there is something, they will tell the spring equinox and Xiao Fugui, and they will naturally report it at their discretion, understand?"

"Yes, sis!"

Hearing me say this, their expressions changed from fear to awe, perhaps in their eyes, I have inquired about their lives clearly, and I can better control them in the future. Actually, it's just a memory of my past life, but it's not bad to make them look at me differently.

In the evening, the equinox came and asked me if I would like to dress up for the Holy Majesty's arrival. I smiled slightly, shook my head and said no. Just because I know that the emperor will not come tonight, nor tomorrow night, he will come to pamper me, it seems that it will be seven or eight days later.

I still remember my previous life, on this day, I spent a lot of effort to dress up, wearing the "wedding dress" sewn by my mother and sitting in front of the bed, and I sat all night. And my beloved, never appeared.

I smiled bitterly, I lived again, he didn't, he was still so unhurried, so that it seemed that he was not so close to women. In fact, he is not a person who is greedy for beauty, compared to his power, his country, beauty, what is it?

Because I had a problem choosing a seat, I didn't sleep well that night, and my spirits were a little poor the next day. Fortunately, I don't have to go out to see people today, and no one will come to see me. This Chengming Hall has been vacant for a long time, and there are no other concubines, so I can rest for a while.

After all, I'm a newcomer, and I can't go out and walk around rashly, so I've been staying quietly in Ningxiang Pavilion for the past few days, but there's nothing here, it's really boring. After a few days of this, at last at noon on the fourth day, I received an order that the emperor would come here tonight after dinner.

When they heard the spring equinox, they all cheered, and then prepared a fragrant soup for me to bathe. Looking at their busy and cheerful figures, my heart sank. Finally, are you going to see that man? The man who spoiled me for a long time, guarded me for a long time, and sent me back to the West with a cup of poison at the last time!

Am I fearful, or am I hateful?
