Out of the study, Li Shenlan looked up at the sky, remembering that the sky she saw in the countryside was so blue, even if there were occasional dark clouds pressing there, it quickly dissipated. Li Shenlan didn't know if it was her own delusion, as if she had never seen such a blue sky since she entered the mansion.

After returning to Xiaoyuxuan, Aunt Xi waited in the living room early, and saw Li Shenlan come in and salute in a proper manner.

"Auntie, please get up, it stands to reason that my aunt is Shen Lan's teacher, and it should be Shen Lan who salutes my aunt."

After speaking, Li Shenlan bowed to Su Hao, but Su Hao was also a transparent person, and when he saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward to support Li Shenlan, and he didn't dare to say it in his mouth.

"The little master is a nobleman, the slave is a slave and a slave, where can there be a reason for the little master to salute the slave and the maid."

"Shen Lan is not polite to her aunt, her aunt is sent by the palace to teach, and she is proficient in everything regardless of etiquette. Shen Lan is already blessed to be taught by her aunt, and she must ask you for advice with her heart. ”

No one can say nice words, but people like to listen to them, Su Hao is very happy at the moment, and he also looks at the master in front of him a little differently.

"The little master is polite, the slave heard that the little master had learned etiquette with He Yu, and I thought that this etiquette was nothing more transparent. The slave and maid no longer pay attention to these this time, and just talk to the little master about the situation in the palace, so that the little master can be fully prepared to enter the palace. ”

"That's naturally the best, and I ask my aunt to give me advice."

The polite words were almost over, and Su Hao entered the main topic and explained the current situation in the palace with Li Shenlan. Because he would definitely accompany Li Shenlan into the palace in the future, he was also on the sidelines.

An Suhao said that there are only three serious masters in the palace, the queen mother, the emperor and the queen, and the rest of the concubines can only be called "little master", but if they are favored or valued by the emperor because they are ministers at home, they can be honored as "Niangniang" above the concubine position.

"It's like the Xiang Concubine Niangniang in the palace now, and now the four concubines are only the good concubines who have lived in the Buddhist temple for a long time. Concubine Liang almost never enters the palace, so there is only one Xiang Concubine Niangniang in the palace. ”

If you go to the concubine position, you can be the lord of the first house, and the ancestral system is to come from one level to another, and you must not skip the level of promotion.

"What about Concubine Xu?" Bang Chun's brain moved quickly, and he suddenly thought that Xu Guifei at the beginning was not directly from the concubine position and sealed the concubine.

Su glanced at Bang Chun, and said with some reproach in his eyes, "There is no Xu Guifei in this world, the girl should be cautious." Besides, it is the emperor's favorite, so it is not a rule to cross the ranks, and there are so many women who have entered the palace who can receive this favor. ”

Bang Chun also realized that he had lost his words, and he stuck out his tongue in embarrassment and hurriedly shut up.

Then it is to introduce the current saint, the emperor is the fifth son of the first emperor, and there are many heirs of the first emperor, but there are very few who survive to grow into adulthood. Although the queen mother has never been a queen, she has given birth to the current emperor, and raising her safely is also a merit. In his early years, the emperor was very intelligent and very popular with the first emperor, so he was crowned the crown prince when he was six years old, and then inherited the throne logically.

In the first general election after the emperor ascended the throne at the age of ten, he chose Dong, the daughter of the official secretary, as the current empress.

"The queen is gentle and elegant, and she is deeply popular, and the life of the emperor and queen is also very affectionate. The only regret is that I have never been able to give birth to a son-in-law. ”

"It's been more than ten years since I got married, why don't I have a son-in-law?" Li Shenlan was also curious, so she interrupted Su Hao to ask.

"Hey, the queen's character is precious, and her mother is the world. It's a pity that she was too young to understand the sinister state of the world, and there was a Jia Jieyu who was very favored back then, but she was spoiled. When she was favored, the queen was pregnant, and Jia Jieyu was jealous and poisoned, causing her to have a miscarriage, and her body was also greatly damaged. Therefore, for so many years, I have not been able to conceive a child. ”

A few words that are easy to understate, but they are the pain of the queen's life. Even though Li Shenlan was just an observer, she could feel the despair and helplessness of the queen at that time.

The harem life is really turbulent, and if you don't pay attention, you don't know how to die even if you die.

Then the emperor was furious after finding out the truth, and gave Jia Jieyu five horses to divide the corpse before relieving the hatred. But this poor young son will never come back. Now the queen is in her heart because of that incident, and her body is not as good as before, not to mention it, and her spirit is not good. Now many things have to rely on the help of Concubine Xiang. ”

"I've heard my aunt mention Concubine Xiang many times, but I don't know who it is."

"After the Xu family is gone, except for the queen's mother, the palace belongs to the highest rank of the Xiang concubine."

Xiangfei Zhao is the daughter of today's General Zhao and the sister of General Zhao Shao, and she also entered the palace with the queen mother in the first draft.

"Before entering the palace, Concubine Xiang and the queen were close friends in the boudoir, although Concubine Xiang was not very favored by the emperor, but she also supported each other with the queen, and treated the palace people well, and the palace people respected her very much."

Su Hao explained a lot to Li Shenlan back and forth, and it was not until the sun went down that he came to an end.

"That's pretty much it, the emperor allows the little master to enter the palace in a few more days, and the slave maid will give the little bishop an hour to practice etiquette every afternoon in the future, not much, so that the little master can recuperate."

"Thank you Auntie."

"The little master is polite, by the way, the little lord and the nobleman can enter the palace to treat two close relatives and maids, the slave and maid look at the little lord and only leave the Bangchun girl to listen to the class, the little master can think about bringing another one, and take care of each other when they enter the palace."

After sending Su Hao away, Li Shenlan returned to her seat and thought for a while before she exchanged for a spring.

"You go back and tell Liuxia about what Aunt Fangcai taught, and let her come to me tomorrow morning."

"Little master, do you think you want to stay in the palace in the summer?"

Li Shenlan knew what Bang Chun minded, but she always felt that Liuxia was not like someone who wanted to harm her, but she was afraid that she was also used by the Xiao family at that time.

"Liuxia has a straight temperament, and good gossip naturally has her benefits. If you enter the palace, you will naturally not be able to live in your own palace gate, and it will be easy to get some news if you stay in Xia. ”

"The little master decides, and the slave will talk to Liuxia when she goes back at night."

In Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother was having dinner, and Aunt Ruozhu on the side was reading the final list of residences for the Queen Mother.

"Lan Guiren lives in Jinghe Palace, and this queen really doesn't take the mourning family more and more seriously. The mourning family asked her to arrange Lu Guiren and the two of them to be closer to the Heart Cultivation Palace, she was good, and she couldn't wait for them to live in Shoukang Palace to be satisfied.

This Lan nobleman was afraid that I would not be satisfied with letting her live in Yongfu Palace, so he sent her to Jinghe Palace. This General Zhao has just finished winning the battle, and the emperor is bound to go to Concubine Xiang to sit down for the sake of face, this is not Baba's favor for the emperor! The mourning family looked at this queen, she really shouldn't have been allowed to be the queen in the first place! ”

The more the Queen Mother spoke, the more angry she became, and she lost her appetite when she looked at the food in front of her, so she simply dropped the chopsticks and let people withdraw them cleanly.

Seeing this, Ruozhu hurriedly persuaded him, "The Queen Mother is angry, didn't the emperor allow Lan Guiren to eat for a few days and enter the palace, they all said that this grace is like a cloud in the sky, and it is not the same from day to day." Since the Queen Mother wants to support Lu Guiren, it is better to arrange it earlier while Lan Guiren has not yet entered the palace. ”

"What you said is to the point, and the mourning family is really getting more and more unable to see through the emperor."

It's no wonder that the Queen Mother, after the resignation banquet, the emperor clearly said that he would be in control, but judging from the current situation, doesn't the emperor love Li Shenlan very much?

"Queen Mother, in fact, why do you have to worry about these things, speaking of which, you are already the Queen Mother, and it is time to retire."

The Queen Mother raised her eyes and looked at the birdcage in China, the parrot brother was specially found by the emperor from Jiangnan last time, and the sound of what to say is good as soon as you learn it. It's just that it's obviously serving delicious food and drink, but it's still not satisfied, and it keeps pecking at the bamboo cage with its mouth every day.

The Queen Mother got up and fed the rice that had not come and withdrawn a grain in the parrot's mouth, and returned unhurriedly

"The emperor is old, and he is almost unplugged like this parrot. The people who were inserted in the early years of the previous dynasty were pulled out by the emperor over the years, and the previous dynasty is gone, and there is no one in the harem, so don't worry...... Don't worry......"

The more the Queen Mother spoke, the weaker her voice became, and in the end, she didn't know whether she was talking to Ruozhu or to the parrot.

"When will the newly selected show girl enter the palace?"

"The calculation time is according to the regulations, and there are eight days left."

"Eight days ......" The Queen Mother turned around and put down the rice, picked up the towel held by the waiter on the side and cleaned her hands.

"Go to the Palace of Nourishing Heart to pass a message to the emperor, just say that the mourning family is always bored in this deep palace when they are old, since the show girls have been selected, let people enter the palace earlier, and the mourning family is accompanied by many people. Only...... Let's enter the palace in two days. ”

Ruozhu was secretly surprised, but he also knew that the Queen Mother had other plans. "Two days, Queen Mother, will it be too rushed?"

"Don't hurry, it's been so long since spring, and it's time for the Imperial Garden to bloom some new flowers."

Seeing the queen mother's resolute attitude, Ruozhu didn't say anything more, and took the order and went to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

The Queen Mother watched Ruozhu go out, walked slowly to the Buddha and knelt down, the Buddha beads in her hand kept fiddling, and she was muttering something in her mouth.

"Since one is useless, you must always prepare the next one in advance......"

Early the next morning, Liuxia listened to Bang Chun's words and took her shift, and prepared hot water early to serve Li Shenlan to freshen up.

"Do you know why I asked you to come here early in the morning?" Li Shenlan, who had just woken up, couldn't open her eyes yet, and she spoke a little cowardly, but her mind was very clear.

"The little master treats the slave and the maid as kind as a mountain, and the slave and the maid will never forget."

"In addition to the quota for entering the palace, I will leave one for you."

Liuxia was a little surprised when she heard Bang Chun's words last night, and now she is even more surprised when she hears Li Shenlan say it herself, didn't Li Shenlan really doubt herself?

Li Shenlan looked at Liuxia's expression, but she also guessed her thoughts, "I doubted it, but I believe you won't, I ask myself that I have never treated the four of you badly, you shouldn't have a reason to harm me." ”

"The little master is clear, the slave and maid have really never harmed the little master, and the slave and maid regretted the events of that day afterwards, and they will definitely not be easily deceived in the future."

"That's it, the so-called employment is not suspicious, and I don't need to use suspicious people, I have naturally chosen you and have trust. It's just that after entering the palace, you and I must support each other, don't let such a thing happen again. ”

When Liuxia heard this, he knew that he would definitely be able to enter the palace, so he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Shenlan several times.

I heard that most of the people who serve in the palace can marry a good family, and no matter how bad it is, they can get close to the official family, so it is naturally very happy to be able to enter the palace in the summer. Even the water in the back went out happily humming a song, and almost bumped into Bang Chun, who came in to spread the word.

"Little Lord! The palace passed the decree, and these show girls will enter the palace in two days. ”

"How can it be so fast!"

Li Shenlan was also shocked, thinking that she would enter the palace ten days after the draft, even if there were six days left today, her body was almost better, but the day suddenly advanced, if she waited for her recovery and entered the palace, she didn't know what the scene was.

"My own body knows that I use the medicine prescribed by the doctor on time every day. You go and talk to Aunt Suhao, and teach it all day and day in the future, and strive to enter the palace in three days. ”

"Little master, isn't this too rushed, and your body can't stand it."

"Otherwise, the sky in the palace changes day by day, and when they are all ripe, I am in it, I am afraid that I will be trampled to death as an ant as soon as I enter the palace."

Bang Chun saw that Li Shenlan had made up his mind, so he could only give instructions to Su Hao to pass the word.

Li Shenlan looked at herself with a sad face in the mirror and sighed heavily. She doesn't want to compete for favor and doesn't know how to compete for favor, but her father and mother are her handle in the hands of the captain. The only thing you can do is to try to enter the palace with the show girls, if the emperor pampers himself, if he doesn't love him, he can also use the excuse that he can't take his turn in the flowers, and the captain can't rush into the palace to question himself.

"I really miss myself when I was a child......" Li Shenlan said, and couldn't help but reach out and touch her face in the mirror.

Time flies quickly, and the days will soon come to the day when the show girls enter the palace, Li Shenlan has a special purpose to entrust Xiao Dezi, who came to deliver pastries, to bring a message to the emperor, saying that he is entering the palace one day later.

The night before entering the palace, Bang Chun was still packing up Li Shenlan's salute for entering the palace tomorrow.

"What a beautiful outfit."

Li Shenlan looked over, Bang Chun picked up a bright red dress, Li Shenlan remembered that when she entered the Taiwei Mansion, her mother put it in the box, a wedding dress embroidered by Song's mother every day and night.

"Little master, this peacock embroidery looks so good!"

The rules of Daqi, except for the queen, other women can only wear peacock wedding dresses when they marry, but Li Shenlan is married to the emperor and is a concubine, but she can't even wear red.

"This is embroidered by my mother, she said that I will be able to marry a good family when I enter the house, I still remember the way she put this wedding dress in my hand, with a look of anticipation, fascination, and nostalgia."

"Little Master ......"

Seeing Li Shenlan's sad face, Bang Chun knew that he had made Li Shenlan sad, and wanted to divert the topic, but he didn't know how to say it.

"It's okay, there's nothing wrong with entering the palace." Li Shenlan pulled her lips and smiled, thinking of the emperor's appearance, the perfunctory smile was finally more real.

"Leave it in the house, no matter how you say it, it's red, if you enter the palace, you will have to cause unnecessary trouble."

Bang Chun should have then put the wedding dress back at the bottom of the box.

It was night, and Li Shenlan, who was lying on the bed, couldn't fall asleep over and over. Tomorrow morning, she will enter the palace, and Li Shenlan is looking forward to being sad about entering the palace. In other words, that daughter's family has never fantasized about marrying a Langjun and a couple for the rest of her life?

"That's it......"

Li Shenlan's eyes were closed heavily, forcing herself not to think about anything else.

In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, the eunuch in the worship room knelt in front of the emperor with a sign. These are all new masters who have entered the palace, and the emperor has not entered the harem for a while.

"Hasn't Lan Guiren entered the palace yet?" The emperor looked at the row, but had no intention of flopping the cards.

"Your Majesty, you forgot, the Lan nobles asked Xiao Dezi to bring a message, and he will be able to enter the palace at noon tomorrow."

"Oh."

The sentence that was not salty or light made Father-in-law Hou a little confused. In the next second, I saw the emperor stretch out his hand and turn over Lu Guiren's brand......
