Chapter 100: Greetings

"Little master, the hour has come, it's time to get up."

On the first night of arriving at the palace, Shuxuan did not cultivate, but chose to sleep.

I was sleeping in a daze, when I suddenly heard someone waking me up.

"Why so early? What time is this? ”

Shuxuan looked at the sky that was still dark outside, and Xiaobai, who was sleeping soundly on the side, and asked with some doubts.

"Little master, it's almost time at this time, it's time to prepare to say hello to the queen."

The little palace maid replied respectfully outside.

"So early?"

Shuxuan looked at the still dark sky outside suspiciously, thinking that when she used to watch TV, wasn't it already dawn for the palace concubine to greet the queen?

"Little master, today is the first time after the little lord entered the palace to say goodbye to the queen's mother, you should dress up well, naturally it will be earlier."

"Oh well! Come in! ”

Since the rules are like this, Shuxuan doesn't say anything more.

With Shuxuan's permission, two palace maids walked in with things.

"I remember your name was Hongxing, didn't you?"

After finishing washing under the service of the palace maid, Shuxuan was sitting in front of the bronze mirror and asked a palace maid who was combing her hair.

"Back to the little master, the slave maid is indeed called Hongxing."

Hongxing replied while combing her hair.

"That red apricot, let me ask you, will I go to the queen so early every day in the future to say goodbye?"

Shu Xuan asked a little desperately, if this is the case, the life in this palace is really not human.

"According to the rules of this palace, the harem concubines must first go to the queen mother to say goodbye every day, and then the queen will lead them to greet the queen mother and the queen mother."

Hong Xing's words made Shu Xuan feel the urge to run away directly, and shouted in her heart, "God, why are there such inhumane rules!" It's okay to go to say hello every day, it's still so early. After that, I have to get up so early every day to greet people, isn't this going crazy..."

"But now that the queen is older, she will be exempted from the daily safety of the concubines, and she only needs to go to ask for peace on the fifteenth day of the new year."

Shu Xuan hadn't finished roaring in her heart, and the palace maid continued.

"Hongxing, can you finish talking at once! Isn't it scary to just say that it's broken halfway? ”

Hearing the latter words, Shu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said to Hongxing.

"Little master, don't be angry, the slave knows it's wrong."

When Hongxing heard Shuxuan say this, she hurriedly put down the comb and knelt down to admit her mistake.

"Alright, get up! I didn't say I blame you! ”

Shu Xuan looked at the red apricot who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a frown.

"Thank you, little master."

"Alright, come and comb my hair! On this first day, I went to say hello to the queen, and it was not good to miss the time for a while. ”

Shuxuan is so open, and he doesn't bother to take care of Hongxing.

This ancient person is just trouble, kneeling down at every turn, as if someone has bullied her.

However, Shuxuan didn't plan to correct Hongxing's habit, after all, this is the survival rule of this era.

"Alright, little lord, do you think this will work?"

After a while, Hongxing had already combed her hair, took a bronze mirror and put it next to Shuxuan's head, so that she could see it.

"It's not bad, I didn't expect Hongxing, your hand is quite clever, and my hair will be handed over to you in the future."

Shuxuan looked at her hair from the blurred bronze mirror, and found that this inconspicuous little girl's skills in combing her hair were quite good, so she directly named her to comb her hair in the future.

"Yes, little lord. The slave and maid must serve the little master with all their heart. ”

Hongxing got this order, and she was as happy as if she was something, and hurriedly thanked her.

Shuxuan looked at her suspiciously, not understanding what she was happy about.

"Alright, let's go to the Queen!"

Shuxuan doesn't want to think about it if she doesn't understand, if she wants to be happy, let her be happy.

"Sister, why are you here? We've all been waiting here for a while. ”

As soon as he walked to the front of the main hall of Kunning Palace, Shuxuan heard Liu Shuxue's voice.

"Second sister, are you here so early?"

Shuxuan looked at the still gray sky, and asked Liu Shuxue in surprise. You must know that the distance between Kunning Palace in Chengqian Palace is not close, and it should have been a while since she looked like her.

"It's not early, today is the first time we have asked the queen mother to say goodbye, naturally it will be earlier, you see over there, they came much earlier than me."

Looking in the direction pointed by Liu Shuxue, there were indeed a lot of women there, looking at their dress, they should all be people who are not very high-ranked, and there are a few familiar faces among them, all of whom have been seen in the draft, but they don't remember their names very well.

"Miss Liu is really squeamish! I live in Kunning Palace and come so late, I don't know if I think you don't want to come! ”

Shuxuan looked at Li Siyuan, who had been looking at her unpleasantly, and she didn't even have the strength to complain.

"Li Siyuan, you don't come to us for a day to trouble and feel uncomfortable, right?"

But Liu Shuxue couldn't bear her, so she choked back directly.

"I didn't say you, what are you anxious about?"

Maybe it was during the previous draft, Liu Shuxue's force value scared her, and now she is much weaker in her arrogance towards Liu Shuxue.

"You said that my sister has something to do with me, and you have the ability to rush at me!"

"Liu Shuxue, pay attention, now you are just a promise, and I am always here, a grade higher than you, according to the rules, you have to salute me!"

Although Li Siyuan said this, she couldn't help but take a few steps back, far away from Liu Shuxue.

"Heh, Li Changzai is really in such a high position, such a big shelf, I'm really afraid!"

Liu Shuxue was talking, and the door of Kunning Palace "squeak!" "It opened.

"The queen has already gotten up, and when she saw the little masters waiting outside the door, she asked the little masters to sit inside for a while, and the mother will be there soon."

After the door was opened, a eunuch stepped out of it and said to the crowd.

"Thank you for the kindness of Queen Mother."

The crowd thanked them and headed inside.

After entering the inner room, no matter how arrogant Li Siyuan was, he didn't dare to make trouble here, and the rest of the people didn't dare to speak, so the air was strangely quiet.

"The Queen Mother has arrived."

Not long after everyone sat down, they heard the voice of a eunuch.

After that, I saw a woman wearing a red queen's dress walking over with the support of the eunuch.

"The queen mother is blessed with Jin'an."

When Shuxuan was saluting, she looked at the queen's dress and thought to herself, "Why is this queen dressed up so grandly today?" Isn't she tired with so much jewelry on her head? ”

"Sisters, excuse me, let's get even!"

Hescheri stretched out his hand and lifted himself in the air and said.

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

With that, the concubines got up and returned to their places and sat down.

"Why haven't Concubine Niu Hulu and Concubine Tong come yet?"

Hesheri sat on the phoenix seat, looked at the people below, and asked the palace people who were waiting on the side.

"Back to Niangniang's words, Concubine Tong sent someone to spread the word early in the morning that she was unwell and couldn't come over to say goodbye to Niangniang today."

"Sister Concubine Tong has always been in poor health, maybe she is sick again today!"

Hesheri said a word, and then said to the eunuch, "I don't know if Concubine Tong has invited a doctor there?" Huang Dahai, you go to Concubine Tong now, and report back in time if you have any problems. ”

"Wow!"

Huang Dahai saluted and withdrew.

"Oh, what is Sister Queen doing? Why did you send Huang Gonggong out early in the morning? ”

As soon as Huang Dahai left, a pretty woman wearing a pink palace dress walked in from outside. She said this before she even walked in the door.

"Say hello to the queen's sister."

When she entered the door, she only gave a perfunctory salute to the queen, and before the queen could call out, she stood up on her own.

"Concubine Tong's sister is unwell, so I sent him to see what happened in the back of the province."

Hesheri spoke to the visitor good-naturedly, as if he was not at all angry at her rudeness.

"Sister Queen, you're really kind! I'm afraid Concubine Tong's sister is not unwell! But today is the day for the new concubines to ask for peace, so she is reluctant to come, so as not to be sad. ”

The woman said as she walked over to her seat as if no one was around.

"Why did Sister Niu Hulu say this! The new sisters in the palace should be happy, how can Concubine Tong's sister be sad? ”

Heschelis still only smiled faintly.

"This is something that everyone knows by heart, why does Sister Queen let me say it so clearly?"

Concubine Niu Hulu sat on the stool and continued, "Sister Queen, since everyone has arrived, let's start!" also let me have a good look at who is in this new palace concubine, who has made Concubine Tong's sister avoid it! ”

"Well, let's get started!"

The queen nodded, and then there were special eunuchs to guide the new palace concubines to bow three times and bow nine times to the queen.

Although Shuxuan has lived in this era for more than ten years, she still can't accept this kneeling at every turn. So he cast an illusion and stood still.

Seeing them saluting there, Shuxuan had time to take a closer look at these Kangxi women.

At this glance, I found that there are really a lot of people in this harem, and even this ugly Qing palace costume can't hide their beauty. It's a pity that Kangxi is really stingy about his position, and there are only one queen and two concubines in the harem now, and the rest of the people are only nobles, and more are concubines.

"Don't they all say that the women in the harem of the Qing Dynasty are ugly? Not necessarily! Aren't these girls in front of you all pretty enough? It's just that some people are too annoying. ”

Shu Xuan was now there reading and commenting.

After saluting the queen and Concubine Niu Hulu under the guidance of the eunuch, and then giving a reward, the queen said, "Okay, since all the sisters have already met, we can walk around more when we have time in the future, and now we should go to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to say goodbye." ”

"Yes."

Everyone answered, and followed the queen to the queen mother's palace.

Since it was the first time to see the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, I said a few more words, plus everyone gave a reward or something, so I stayed a little longer.

When he came back after the toss, it was almost noon, and Shuxuan once again experienced the difficulty of ancient life.

"Master, you're finally back, I'm so bored waiting for you."

Shuxuan finally managed to get to this time, and when she came back, she saw Xiaobai lying listlessly on the table.

"Xiaobai, what's wrong with you?"

Shuxuan asked strangely.

I have been tossing from the morning to now, I am so tired, this Xiaobai has not gone out in the house all the time, why has he become so unenergetic?

"Master, why didn't you wake me up when you left? I've been waiting for you here alone for a long time, you know? ”

Xiaobai said aggrievedly.

"I saw that you slept so soundly, I couldn't bear to wake you up."

Shu Xuan raised an eyebrow as she walked inside and said, "What? Am I not right to care about you? ”

"No, I didn't mean that, master, I'm just too bored to be alone."

"Sister, you are inevitably too good to this little white, wherever the master has gotten up, and the maid is still asleep, those people in the harem like you are going to say that you don't understand the rules."

At this time, Liu Shuxue, who was following behind, spoke.

She didn't want to go back to her palace after she went to ask for peace, but she didn't have anyone to trust in this palace, so she followed Shuxuan to her, and couldn't help but open her mouth when she saw this scene.

"It's okay, second sister. Xiaobai is still young now, and it is the time to grow his body, so it's okay to sleep more. ”

Shu Xuan said with a faint smile.

"But sister, if you spoil her like this, you will be gossiped about. Besides, Xiaobai is just a palace maid, if you don't do anything, the people under your command will also have opinions. ”

Liu Shuxue saw Shuxuan's indifferent look, and she was a little anxious for her.

"It's okay if they have opinions, Xiaobai can almost be said to have grown up watching me, what's wrong with me being nice to her?"

Shuxuan is not wrong in what she said, after so many years of getting along, she has long regarded Xiaobai as her own sister, how can she not make Xiaobai unhappy for some strange palace maids?

"Hey! Sister, I mean, aren't you afraid that these people in your palace will take refuge in her because they are not convinced? ”

Liu Shuxue looked at Shuxuan's heartless appearance and was a little worried, and said in a low voice.

"What's there to be afraid of? Anyway, even if they have any opinions, they still have to do what they should do, but there is a queen living in the main hall of Kunning Palace! They don't dare to be too lazy. ”

"Why am I worried about this! I'm worried what if they're bought to frame you? ”

Liu Shuxue looked at her innocent (self-righteous) look and felt that her head was starting to hurt. "It seems that she can't understand this, wasn't she quite wary when she was drafted before? Why has it become silly and sweet again? Pay more attention to her in the future, lest she be harmed like this. ”

Shuxuan also understands Liu Shuxue's concerns, but people's hearts are fickle, and Shuxuan is not sure that they can always be loyal to themselves, who knows when they will be bought for what reason! In that case, why should you be wronged because of them, Xiaobai, who has been following her!
