After getting permission from Concubine Wei to enter the palace, it was only a matter of a few days to return home and wait. The Marquis of Maoguo's Mansion sent him to teach Chen Gong etiquette every day, but Mrs. Wei came and went a lot, checked the etiquette practice in the morning and evening, and sent someone to serve the two of them, which was the same courtesy as the concubine of the Hou Mansion.

Wan Xiuyun moved into the guest house of the Hou Mansion and lived next to Pei Zhenwan, and since they had to enter the palace together, they would gossip a lot more frequently.

Pei Zhenwan knew that the family background of this young lady of the Wan family, although it was a rich family, there were many wives and concubines of the old man of the Wan family, and there were more than a dozen concubines in the house alone, and there were many children. Although Mrs. Wan is the main room, it is actually furnished, and the affairs of the house are taken care of by a few favored concubines, and this is a mother and daughter, but there is no shortage of food and drink, and the rest have no place to stand.

If he can become a nobleman in the palace once, Wan Xiuyun can also earn a breath for his mother, how can he not regard this opportunity as a treasure.

Now that she has become an ally, Pei Zhenwan also pays more attention to her, if there are difficulties in his palace, this woman is still useful.

hurriedly explained the eyeliner subordinates who had been placed in various places in Luodu in the early years, and bid farewell to the Wei Mansion, and the two coarse cloth sedan chairs sent the two to the gate of the Chen Palace to inspect and enter the palace.

There are 3,000 people in the Chen Palace, and there are 26 palace maids in the Penglai Palace alone, which are divided into four classes, which shows that the use is luxurious. The two entered the palace for a few days, but they didn't even have the opportunity to enter the main hall to ask for peace, only on the first day they saw the first-class palace maid Amber, sent the clothes and residences of the two third-class palace maids, and ordered the two to lead the Penglai Palace's private treasury to weave embroidered silk and bamboo.

Wan Xiuyun looked at the weaving and embroidery products in the warehouse, and was a little discouraged for a while: "Dealing with these objects all day long, when will there be a bright future, in the end, the concubine Niangniang has no trust in us." ”

Pei Zhenwan looked at the private treasury for a week, and said indifferently: "Not necessarily, you have the right to test your and my will as a concubine, is it of great use, is there hope if you think about it like this?" ”

Wan Xiuyun raised his eyebrows, so it is possible, and immediately carefully looked at those objects, to say that the weaving and embroidery of silk and bamboo here is exquisite, by no means comparable to the folk products, always Wan Xiuyun has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he was not impressed by the luxury of the utensils, and exclaimed again and again.

Pei Zhenwan smiled to herself, if you talk about power and strategy, this Miss Wan is afraid that she is not as good as one of her ten.

Penglai Hall has been rewarded abundantly over the years, and there are many years of tribute from the Marquis of Maoguo's mansion, to say that the collection here is more valuable than Queen Xu's Zhengde Palace, it is not an exaggeration. There is a guqin on the east side of the high table, the whole body is black, faintly glowing with a faint green light, Pei Zhenwan stepped forward to take a closer look, it is actually the famous qin of the Han Dynasty. The rest have luodian red sandalwood Ruan Xian, yellow finch jade screen flute, wrapped silver nan bamboo fungus, although not as famous as Luqi, it is also extremely precious.

Since entering the palace and receiving an errand, Pei Zhenwan found the treasury files, carefully counted and verified, and wiped the silk and bamboo for maintenance. A few days passed, but it was much calmer.

The day before the Lantern Festival, Concubine Wei finally sent someone to pass it on, and the two hurried to the main hall.

Wei Guifei became more and more radiant and dazzling, and when she saw the two of them asking for peace, she only hummed softly, but did not speak. Amber stepped forward and said: "The two of you have been in the palace for a few days, and the mother has something to ask today, and you two must reply carefully, if there is a little perfunctory, immediately drive out of the palace." ”

As soon as they met, they were dismounted, and a trace of ridicule floated in Pei Zhenwan's heart, so the momentum could only be more colorful.

Amber said again: "Tomorrow Yen, according to the rules, the queen and our concubine will distribute New Year's rewards, and it is usually just silk and satin food, but the concubine has the heart to promote Concubine Liu Xian and Liang Meiren, you two take care of the warehouse, what are the reward items to recommend?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Pei Zhenwan was okay, Wan Xiuyun couldn't help but panic in her heart, not to mention that she was not familiar with the rules of the palace's gifts, and she didn't know what these two masters liked. I couldn't help but secretly say, thinking that I would leave the palace and return home tomorrow, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing.

But I heard Pei Zhenwan bow her head and say softly: "The slave heard that Liang Meiren's hometown of Suzhou, and I want to come and miss Su embroidery. If you ask Xiuyun to choose a Su embroidery fan, Liang Meiren uses it every day, and she can also be reminded of her gratitude for her kindness. ”

Wan Xiuyun was overjoyed when she heard this, and on the one hand she handed Pei Zhenwan a grateful look, and on the other hand, she secretly glanced at Wei Guifei's expression, and speculated: "Yes, the slave maid saw that there was a silver silk Su embroidered peacock jade handle fan in the warehouse, the embroidery is exquisite, and the jade handle is warm and moist, which is a superior product, and it is the best thing to be rewarded." ”

Wei Guifei played with the copper hand stove in her hand, her eyelids were not raised, and she said lazily: "You are so calculating, if Liang Meiren always brings that fan by her side, everyone in the harem will know that it is the reward of the palace." But just a fan, wouldn't it look like a small family in the palace. ”

"Although the fan is not a rare thing, it is valuable in the heart of the mother's reward, the mother's holy favor is rich, and the things that are naturally obtained are the best. Niangniang thinks that the fan is light and simple, and I am afraid that the low-ranking palace concubines will regard it as a treasure. ”

Wei Guifei raised her head and looked at Pei Zhenwan, and said with a smile: "You are a good talker, why do you only mention Liang Meiren and ignore Concubine Liu Xian?" ”

Pei Zhenwan replied: "Concubine Liu Xian is the fourth concubine, and she is the biological mother of the second princess. The gift should be precious, and it should not rob the queen's mind. The second princess is now in school, and the mother can give the yellow finch jade screen flute, called the reward of the virtuous concubine, but in fact, it is given to the princess, and the parents of the world will be happy if they want to come to His Majesty and the virtuous concubine. ”

Wei Guifei raised her eyebrows, she had heard that her father praised this Pei Zhenwan for her intelligence and excellent appearance, but judging from today's detection, she actually had an excellent grasp of people's preferences. not only guessed his intention to show favor to Concubine Xian and subdue Liang Meiren, but also speculated on the preferences of other palace concubines.

It's just that the smarter the person, the harder it is to navigate.

Wei Guifei couldn't help but get bored, the previous Tang Xiurong was stupid, and Kong Jieyu was an arrogant lord who didn't know how to restrain, so she let herself be dragged down in vain. Now there are two beautiful people, and one looks smart, but it is not easy to control, thinking of this, I feel that even the good mood of the New Year is gone.

"That's it, just give them something as you like, Amber, and send them to pick them up and send them tomorrow." Concubine Wei frowned, her eyebrows frowned slightly, "This palace is very lacking." ”

Amber listened, and hurriedly asked the two to kneel, knelt on the side of the couch herself, took the jade hammer and pushed it up.

A good dog needs to have sharp teeth in order to be invincible in a fight, but if it is too much, it may hurt the owner himself one day. Wei Guifei has been immersed in the harem for many years, how can she not understand this truth?
