At three o'clock the next day, Li Shenlan was called by Bang Chun, and when she was a little sober, she saw that Su Hao and Liuxia were already waiting next to her with their clothes. Looking at the well-behaved palace clothes on this tray, Li Shenlan suddenly sobered up for the most part.

Yes, I'm going to enter the palace today.

"Little master, this is the palace that the master has prepared early, and the slave and maid are waiting for you to put it on."

Li Shenlan nodded casually, and let them change into palace clothes. When I opened my eyes again, I was dressed in a powder blue waist-cinching brocade palace dress, with a nine-hole exquisite jade belt around my waist, and a cigarette yarn lining on my wrist, which immediately became a bit solemn and noble.

Su Hao praised a few words with satisfaction, and then pulled Li Shenlan to the front of the dressing table.

"The little master's position is in the nobleman, the headdress can't be too much and not too complicated, the slave and maid look at the little master's face like a goose egg face, it's better to give the little master a falling ponytail, in line with the Xiaozhi position will not be too plain."

Li Shenlan didn't care about a bun in this mere hair, she just said that she would be sure to be good.

After touching a stick of incense, Li Shenlan was almost cleaned up. According to the rules, I went to Mrs. Li's main hall for breakfast, and then said goodbye to my parents and took a carriage into the palace.

"When you enter the palace, you must be careful, the emperor treats you more favorably, you must be careful not to provoke people who should not be provoked, and cause trouble for yourself."

Although Taiwei said that he was preparing for Li Shenlan's entry into the palace early in the morning, he was still a little uneasy, even if he was still eating breakfast, he still couldn't help but say a few more words.

"The daughter knows in her heart, and the father is relieved, and I hope that the father will not forget to tell his daughter."

The last time Li Shenlan went to Taiwei's study, the two made an agreement that every month since Li Shenlan entered the palace, Taiwei would send someone to the second elder of the Song family to get a letter, and then send it to the palace.

Mrs. Li sat on the side drinking porridge and watched the father and daughter play dumb riddles, but she was a little uncomfortable for some reason. Li Shenlan and Taiwei are very similar to father and daughter at the moment, which makes her think of her Mingjin.

The three of them had breakfast with their own thoughts, and because there was no dowry, Mrs. Li did not need to add a dowry to Li Shenlan. After breakfast, the three of them sat there and chatted again, not so much chatting, but sitting there and drinking tea in silence. Half an hour later, when the auspicious time came, the Taiwei couple sent Li Shenlan to the carriage waiting outside the door.

"Remember what is said for the Father." The lieutenant finally instructed.

Li Shenlan laughed lightly, and her face was very soft: "I also hope that my father will remember his daughter's words."

The curtain fell, and Bang Chun stood outside the sedan car and shouted loudly, "Noble man drive!" ”

Everyone in the Taiwei Mansion knelt down in front of the carriage, and even Li Yunqi, who was still ignorant, knelt down in a decent manner.

Li Shenlan sat in the car and lifted the curtain to look outside, Liuxia followed behind Bang Chun and walked beside the carriage very obediently, thinking that he was going to enter the palace, and he couldn't be as unrestrained as in the mansion.

Seeing Li Shenlan lift the curtain, Liuxia asked with a smile, "What's wrong with the little master?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just a panic that sits alone and is stuffy."

"The small is mainly boring, why don't you go up and accompany you, and then come down when you get to the palace gate?"

Bang Chun listened to Liuxia's words and frowned: "Liuxia, don't make a mistake in the rules, you will go to the palace gate immediately, if you let someone with a heart see it, you can say that the little master is not a good person." ”

"The little lord is still in the mansion and let us eat together!" Liuxia's tone was obviously unconvinced.

"You!"

"That's it!" Bang Chun wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Shenlan's words, "They are all girls from the same house, what is there to be noisy." Bang Chun is right, it's not wrong to be cautious, I'll be bored for a while, but I will have another cup of tea. ”

Liuxia did snort lightly when she heard this, obviously Li Shenlan's words were biased towards Bang Chun in her eyes.

The master and servant also arrived at the palace gate without saying a word, and the carriage in the palace was not allowed to enter the palace gate, so Li Shenlan helped Bang Chun's hand to get out of the carriage after the carriage stopped.

"The slave greets the Lan nobles!"

As soon as he got out of the car, a little eunuch came to him, and the little eunuch was wearing a soft sedan chair, and there were eight palace maids behind the sedan chair.

"The slave Xiaoshunzi has been waiting for the Lan nobles for a long time, and the queen mother takes care that the nobleman's body has just healed and can't be too tired, so she asked the slave to prepare a soft sedan chair here in the morning, and when the nobleman comes, she will carry you into the palace."

"The queen's grace, it's just that I'm just a noble person and I just entered the palace, so I'm afraid this kind of treatment is not in line with the rules."

Although Li Shenlan was grateful for the queen's kindness, she didn't dare to get on the sedan chair like this, for fear of being seen as a sedan chair.

Looking at Xiao Shunzi's embarrassed expression, Li Shenlan suggested that it would be better to go to the palace first, if her body couldn't stand it, it would not be too late to use the sedan chair.

"The nobleman has made up his mind, so that the slave will lead the nobleman into the palace."

"There is Father-in-law Lao."

After finishing speaking, Li Shenlan followed Xiao Shunzi into the palace gate. Although it is not the first time to enter the palace, the mood is different every time I come, and this time I have lived in the palace for the rest of my life.

Li Shenlan turned around and looked at the sky outside the palace gate, as far as the eye could see, suddenly a flock of geese flew by, although they were in formation, they were also free.

"Such a vast sky, I will never see the same in the future......"

"Aren't all blue skies the same?" Liuxia is a little confused.

Li Shenlan didn't reply, she just smiled and shook her head, looked at the little shunzi who led the way in front and asked, "Dare to ask my father-in-law which palace I live in?"

Although Xiao Shunzi is the palace person who is assigned to Li Shenlan to serve, he has never received such respect, so he bent his body lower, and the smile on his face became a little thicker.

"The little lord is polite, the palace room arranged by the queen's mother, the little lord lives in the east side hall of Jinghe Palace, and lives in the same palace with the Hunan concubine."

Concubine Xiang, Li Shenlan remembered that Concubine Xiang Zhao, the daughter of General Zhao, was a close friend of the empress, and was said to be very kind.

"I heard that Concubine Xiang is very kind?" Li Shenlan couldn't help but inquire about the future of the main mother.

"Indeed, Concubine Xiang is kind and compassionate, and everyone in the palace respects her." It can be seen that Xiao Shunzi respects Concubine Xiang when she speaks, and this scene also makes Li Shenlan's heart hang.

At least you won't have a hard time in Jinghegong in the future, will you?

After passing through the Imperial Garden, it was said that the most beautiful flowers in this incident were in this Imperial Garden, and Li Shenlan thought to herself that it was indeed not lost to the rumors. Especially now that spring is in full bloom, Li Shenlan can only find the word "shocking" to describe the scene that enters the eyes.

No one paid attention to the peach tree on the other side of the imperial garden, where a concubine was standing and watching Li Shenlan and his party. This person is none other than Lu Xin, who entered the palace two days ago, Lu Guiren.

"Li Shenlan......"

The palace people who followed on the side were not the maids Lu Xin brought from home, so they didn't know Li Shenlan, but they only knew that this was the rumored Lan nobleman after listening to their master.

"This is Lan Guiren, he really has a good face that captivates the country and the city." The palace maid couldn't help but sigh when she saw Li Shenlan's appearance.

"Since you like it so much, why don't I ask Manager Jiang to transfer you to Jinghe Palace?" Lu Xin's tone was very flat, but the fool could also hear that he was angry.

Only then did the palace maid know that her master was not good at dealing with this Lan nobleman, so she hurriedly changed her tone and said that Li Shenlan was not as good-looking as Lu Xin.

"Don't be angry, no matter how good-looking she is, the most favored person is the little lord, and the queen mother likes the little lord, she still wants to be favored by the emperor when she enters the palace, but I am afraid that the emperor will not remember who she is for a long time."

was slapped on the back, and Lu Xin's face finally softened a little.

Yes, the emperor turned over the brand on the first night after entering the palace, and he was the first one in this batch of show girls. Then on the second day, the Queen Mother invited all the concubines to listen to the play on the stage. When the emperor was there, he was extremely close to him, and he even went to bed with him summoned by the emperor the next night.

No wonder Lu Xin is proud, the new batch of concubines entered the palace, and he not only took the first share, but also connected with Chengen, who would not go up to the sky with his tail?

Lu Xin smiled and looked at Li Shenlan's figure who was about to disappear, and secretly swore in his heart, "Li Shenlan, let's see." ”

Besides, Li Shenlan, the group walked for a while and finally arrived at Jinghe Palace, the gate of Jinghe Palace was open, but the main concubine Xiang was not in the palace, and I heard that the palace people said that they went to Changle Palace to accompany the queen.

"The queen and Concubine Xiang are really good." Li Shenlan was a little envious, after all, there were very few such good sisterhoods in this palace.

"Naturally, the little master has nothing to do now, it is better for the slave to introduce the palace people to the little master, so that it is convenient for the little master to send it in the future."

The new palace concubines all went to pay homage to the queen on the second day, and they visited the lord of their palace on the first day. It's just that now that Concubine Xiang is not there, Li Shenlan thought that Xiao Shunzi's words also made sense, so she nodded and agreed.

"The slave is the little shunzi, and this little master already knows. This is Xiao Pingzi and the slave have always been very friendly, and in the days to come, our two brothers will definitely serve the little master wholeheartedly. This is Zhiyun, who was transferred by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to serve the little master, because the little master brought two maids himself, so she was the only one in this palace maid. As for the sprinkling and sweeping on weekdays, the kitchen is all with a group of people with Concubine Xiang. ”

Li Shenlan also knew in her heart when she heard it, and said that she must be kind to her subordinates, Li Shenlan asked Bang Chun to take the broken silver and divide it alone:

"Since the days of communication in the future are still long, I will also give you some meeting gifts, and I hope you will not be too little, and we will support each other in the future. It's just that there is one thing, I tolerate the traitorous slaves who have to be loyal, and if I find out, the first one will not tolerate you. ”

Enwei and Shi, this is the effective routine of the new masters, although this routine is older, but it is very effective.

"The minions must do their best to swear allegiance to the little master!"

As he was talking, the sound of a sedan chair outside the palace gate came from outside, and Concubine Xiang came back.

"Bang Chun, go and get the gift I prepared for Niangniang, we have to go to see Concubine Xiang in a while."

Bang Chun accepted his life and hurriedly ran to find the gift in his luggage.

In the main hall, Concubine Xiang was sitting on the couch playing against herself, looking at the endgame full of plates, and the white child in her hand was not anywhere. The palace maid guarding the door outside came to the door to report, saying that the Lan nobles from the east side hall had come to greet her.

"Lan Guiren has entered the palace? Let her in. ”

After a while, Li Shenlan led Bang Chun into the house, and saw Concubine Xiang bowing in a proper manner.

"Concubine noble Li family, see Xiang Concubine Niangniang, Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an."

"I entered the palace quietly, and the palace patronized and talked to the queen, but I forgot you."

Concubine Xiang spoke very kindly, and she was not good at all, and Li Shenlan was relieved in her heart. looked up at Concubine Xiang on the seat, her eyebrows were kind and eloquent, but she was very quiet in a goose-yellow palace dress.

"The concubine has just entered the palace, and when I heard that the palace people said that you were back, I hurried to meet my mother."

"This palace doesn't stick to these rules, but it's hard for you to have strict rules in the palace. Hurry up, I said that I have seen you in this palace, and at the farewell banquet, you have been envious of this palace for a long time with a white dance. ”

Concubine Xiang said and motioned for Li Shenlan to sit opposite her, and then pushed the pastries next to the chessboard in front of Li Shenlan.

"I'm ashamed to say that the concubine only paid attention to the queen mother that day, and it was the first time she entered the palace and she was very nervous, but she didn't notice the mother."

After Li Shenlan finished speaking, she realized that it was a little inappropriate to say this, but on the other hand, Concubine Xiang was still smiling and groaning, and she was not angry at all.

"The queen's mother is the world, and the light of the nine days of the phoenix dance, it is common for anyone to not admire a few more eyes." Concubine Xiang didn't care, picked up the teacup and took a sip and said, "You taste this tea, this palace likes it quickly, but you young people are afraid that you don't like it." ”

Li Shenlan raised her glass and took a sip according to her words, and the taste was bitter, as if ...... "Is it Kuding tea?" ”

Concubine Xiang looked at Li Shenlan with some surprise, "I didn't expect that a young daughter like you would know about this tea." ”

Li Shenlan smiled a little shyly, turned her head to look around the palace, but happened to see the gift in Bang Chun's hand.

"Concubine, don't talk about being young anymore, Bang Chun!" Li Shenlan raised her voice slightly, "This is a gift specially brought by the concubine to the mother, and I hope the mother will not dislike it." ”

"You have a heart, Qinyin, take it quickly." The palace maid behind Concubine Xiang hurriedly stepped forward to accept the gift when she heard this. Concubine Xiang looked at it, in addition to a few pieces of fabric, there were also two boxes, which made her curious.

"This palace is not polite to you, so let's take it apart and take a look. You're holding the box, and Hongu is really curious. ”

Concubine Xiang reached out to open the brocade box as she spoke, but this move was unexpected by Li Shenlan. Since ancient folklore, the gift you like can't be dismantled in front of the giver, but I didn't expect Concubine Xiang to be so easy-going.

"They are all the latest jewelry beads in the Jinglong Fang, and the fabrics are also new. The concubine thought that her mother had lived in the deep palace for a long time, and she was afraid that it would be difficult to buy things in the shops in the capital, so she made her own decisions as gifts. I hope that the mother will not dislike it. ”

Li Shenlan is also afraid that Concubine Xiang will be disappointed, after all, there is no shortage of jewelry in this palace, and there are not a few people who can make exquisite jewelry in the Internal Affairs Office.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Xiang really laughed excitedly when she heard this, and her voice was even a little excited.

"Linglong Fang! I always liked his things before entering the palace, but I couldn't buy them anymore after entering the palace. In the past, when the eldest brother didn't go on the expedition, he often sent people to send it, but now it's been three or four years! ”

Concubine Xiang said and picked up a step shake and inserted it in the bun, and then ran to the mirror of the dressing table and looked at it for a while. It wasn't enough to try to shake the steps, so I ran back and turned over the fabrics, if it wasn't for Qinyin's reminder, I was afraid that Concubine Xiang would forget Li Shenlan.

"I'm sorry, this palace is rude, it's just that you gave these things to my liking. Especially this material, the palace will ask someone to cut the clothes today, and rush Ming'er to wear it out to make the queen envious! ”

Li Shenlan didn't expect Concubine Xiang to have a child's side, so she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"It's good if you like it."

"Hey, don't come to Niangniang, I remember your name...... Li Shenlan, isn't it? In this way, I will call you Shen Lan in the future, and if you are not restrained, you can also call me a sister. ”

"Okay, thank you Concubine Xiang...... My sister doesn't dislike it. ”

After being in Beijing for so long, Li Shenlan felt like a sister for the first time, and she was a little overwhelmed for a while. In a panic, he picked up the teacup and took a big sip, but the tea was already bitter, and Li Shenlan, who was bitter this time, frowned, and the concubine Xiang smiled for a long time.

But laughing and laughing, Concubine Xiang still ordered someone to call for white tea.

"I was playing chess with myself before you came, and I really didn't know how to go next, and now it's an endgame. If you know how to play chess, why don't you finish this game as well as me? ”

Seeing that Li Shenlan responded, Concubine Xiang instructed Qinyin to arrange lunch, and insisted that she would leave Li Shenlan to eat together.
