Lingxi's position is not high, but it is not low either.

The position of the family members usually entering and leaving the palace gate is inseparable from the family background.

For example, Xuan Jieyu before, she was the fifth lady of Shangshu Ling Song's family, and she was out of the main room, and she was sealed as soon as she entered the palace.

Another example is Emperor Wenxuan's virtuous concubine Zhong Yunxiu, whose family is a famous jade businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, and she is also from the main room, but when she entered the palace, she was only a talented person who was sealed with five products.

It can be seen from this that there is much difference between women who are eunuchs or merchants when they enter the palace. And Lingxi is the adopted daughter of the Ye family, and this identity is logically said to be unable to seal the five grades of talent, and it is normal to seal a Baolin or a royal maiden.

Nanxing guessed that it may be due to the Yue Linglong Silver Building and the Jinse Nianhua, which is now a big merchant in Jinling Mansion, and presents a lot of clothing and accessories to the palace every year, so she deliberately promoted Lingxi and sealed her as a talented person.

However, if the most unexpected thing about Nanxing is that Feng Jiao did not become the palace maid of the Shang Palace Bureau, but was named a maid. Although Feng Jiao was only the last of the pickers, she was also a little master, and there were four palace people to serve her.

It is said that it was because she copied the "Lotus Sutra" that day as many as ten articles, and after Mama Zhu gave it to the truth, the queen felt that she had a calm temperament, so she was named a woman, and now she lives in Cuining Palace with Jian Shuyi.

In addition to Lingxi in Yutang Palace, there is also a Li Cairen who lives in the East Side Palace. In addition, Jiang Baolin and Jin Yunu, who entered the palace together this time, lived in the east and west halls respectively.

Jin Yunu is the Jin Fei'er who shows that her attributes are high-grade green tea and a honey-bellied sword, and she lives in the same palace with such a person, so she will have to be more careful in the future.

Three days ago, Lingxi, who had just entered the palace, had already met Li Cairen from the East Side Palace.

According to the palace rules, every new concubine who enters the palace needs to ask the master of the palace where she lives to say goodbye. If there is no main position, but the concubines in the side hall are higher than their own, they also need to go to the courtesy.

Li Cairen is an old man who serves the saint, when the saint was still the prince of the East Palace, she had already entered the palace as a concubine, and after the prince ascended the throne, she was named a talented person, but since then she has never been favored by the saint, and now she is in a state of no favor.

This Li Cairen's appearance is not excellent, but there is a calm and gentle meaning between her eyebrows and eyes, and it is said that she has studied Taoist scriptures all year round after she has been unfavored, and she already has some insights in this regard.

The west side hall of Yutang Palace is slightly smaller than the east side hall, but it is about the size of two courtyards. The front yard and the back yard are covered with blue square bricks, which are smooth and permeable.

The front yard is a garden where you can take a walk and rest, but the garden area is not large, about ten zhang long and five zhang wide, and some pomegranates, begonias and various vines are planted against the wall.

The north side of the main house of the side hall is connected with three ear rooms, which is the residence of the palace maid, and as for the eunuch after the time, except for the eunuch on duty at night, the rest of the people must return to the residence of the Shang Palace Bureau.

The main house of the west side hall is surrounded by a person with thick nanmu as a beam. The shape of the moon door carved in wood divides the main house into three spaces: left, middle and right. On the left and in the middle are places for dining, sitting, and entertaining, on the right is a serious dormitory, and in the middle is rosewood

Lingxi picked up a teacup and looked at it, "This cup is not as good as using it at home, except for the mark of the official kiln below, there is nothing to be desired." ”

"My ancestor, can you say a few words, if you think the cup is not good, just go back and take the silver to the Shanggong Bureau to change it, but you can't just say this, now there are palace people everywhere, do you know which is someone else's eyeliner?" Nanxing said angrily.

"I don't know, my sister must know, now it's just the two of us in the inner room, and they can't hear it." Lingxi said with a grin.

According to the position of Lingxi, the palace bureau allocated to the palace people here are: eight palace maids and four little fathers-in-law. According to what Nanxing said, Lingxi promoted one of them to be the big palace maid, two of them to be the second-class palace maid, and the remaining four were rough palace maids, and the little father-in-law was all used to run errands.

Originally, Lingxi should have two big palace maids, but because she brought Nanxing into the palace, Nanxing wanted to occupy the name of a big palace maid, so only one person was promoted as a big palace maid.

Nanxing said while sorting out Lingxi's clothes and accessories: "Of course I know, that's why I let you arrange it like this." ”

"Except for me, your current personal palace maid is the person arranged by Concubine Xian, and she is relatively reliable. The second-class palace maid named Jinxiu is the queen's person, and the rough palace maid named Chuncao is Chi Zhaoyi's person, and the others don't see any problems for the time being. Nanxing clicked on the master behind everyone.

"I feel that being a concubine is more comfortable than being a favorite concubine, even if the saint sees it, he has to be courteous." Lingxi let out a strange sigh.

"Don't think about whether you have it or not, you have to go to meet the queen mother at three o'clock tomorrow, don't be reckless and say everything, these women in the palace have a lot of hearts, don't be surrounded by them anymore."

"Got it, I'll just pretend to be stupid and sweet in front of them." Lingxi made a silly white and sweet standard smile at the vanity mirror.

Fengzao Palace.

"Niangniang, today is the day when the new concubines come to visit the palace, how about the slave comb your cloud bun and match the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin?" Empress Zheng Yuehua's personal maid Bang Bi asked.

The queen smiled lightly, "Bang Bi, you know the heart of the palace best, just comb it like this." ”

……

"Concubine, see the queen mother, the queen mother Wanfu Jin'an." The nine new palace concubines lined up in two rows and bowed to the queen.

The queen sat on the phoenix seat in the front hall of the Fengzao Palace. This phoenix seat is similar to the shape of the dragon chair, except that it is carved with a phoenix hollow pattern.

The phoenix seat is much higher than the ordinary seat, about three or five inches, although it is not much higher, but it can still show the identity of the queen.

On either side of the queen's head, several other concubines sat upright on the official hat chairs. There are not many concubines in the harem of the saint today, and there are only seven people in the front hall of the Fengzao Palace now.

The first on the left and right sides are Chi Zhaoyi and Jing Chongyuan, followed by Xuan Jieyu, Chen Jieyu, Shen Meiren, Yao Meiren and Li Cairen.

"Let's all be flat." The queen raised her hand and motioned for everyone to get up, "Sisters, new to the palace, are you still used to living?" ”

Jian Jieyu, who had the highest median score among the nine, replied: "Everything is fine, the queen is worried." ”

"That's good, now that the sisters have entered the palace, presumably the palace can be more lively......" Before the queen's words were finished, Hu Chengen in front of the emperor hurriedly entered the Fengzao Palace.

……

"Please Lady Ann."

"Why is Manager Hu here? But the emperor is going to come over later? The queen asked with concern.

"Back to the queen, Your Majesty asked the servants to pass on the message, just received an eight-hundred-mile urgency, the barbarians in the northwest suddenly attacked, Your Majesty wants to discuss the military situation with a few adults in Qingyang Palace, and you can't accompany the queen to dine at night."

"Political affairs are important, but Your Majesty's body should also pay more attention, and Manager Hu must remember to remind Your Majesty."

"Yes. If the queen mother has no other orders, the slave will retire. ”
