Chapter 25: A Noble Visit
Yongshou Palace.
Yao Jiaxin looked at this palace full of one of the best in the harem, the yellow glazed tiles were like gilt in the sun, and the double cross-crossed Siling flower door of the main hall opened to reveal the magnificent main hall.
There is a very wide platform in front of the palace, on the platform on both sides of the palace door, two huge blue and white porcelain seawater dragon pattern vats are placed, two plants of four seasons osmanthus with thick bowl mouth are planted in the tank, and the pale yellow osmanthus is like broken gold, although the fragrance of the flowers is not more rich than the golden cinnamon, but it is sweet and pleasant, like honey.
I saw a eunuch in his thirties leading a group of palace people who bowed their heads and ears to meet him quickly, and his eunuch quickly threw down his sleeves and asked for peace, "The leader of the slave Yongshou Palace, the eunuch Wang Yicheng, sees the nobles, and wishes the nobles good luck!" ”
The forty or fifty palace people who followed behind also knelt on the ground, brushed and kowtowed: "Say hello to the nobles, may the nobles have good luck!" ”
With so many people kowtowing together, this battle is really not small!
As far as she knows, in the six palaces of the east and west, all those who have a main position have a chief eunuch, who is responsible for taking care of trivial things up and down the palace.
Therefore, it stands to reason that since Yongshou Palace has no main position, there should be no chief eunuch......
Although Yao Jiaxin was full of doubts, she didn't dare to snub the leader in front of her, Eunuch Wang, she hurriedly raised her hand to help her, and said in a very gentle tone: "No courtesy." ”
Wang Yicheng seemed to see Yao Guiren's doubts, and got up and explained: "Little master Rongyu, the slave was originally a eunuch who sorted out the pen and ink in front of the emperor, and because he was quite careful, he asked the master Zhang to protect the servants to come to the Yongshou Palace to serve you." ”
In other words, this Wang Yicheng is from Zhang Qilin's faction......
What does this Chief Manager Zhang mean by a chief eunuch who came over coldly?
Yao Jiaxin smiled: "I'm just a nobleman, and Yongshou Palace doesn't have a lord." "Therefore, there is no need for the Yongshou Palace to have a chief eunuch. And she, a nobleman, has no right to call the head of the first palace, the eunuch.
Wang Yicheng smiled with flattery: "The noble man is too humble, but you are the one who entered the dive mansion with Concubine Ning, and the blessing is still to come." ”
Saying that, Wang Yicheng hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your nobleman, you have just recovered from your illness, and you can't blow the cold wind, please go into the palace to rest." What Wang Yicheng was referring to was obviously the main hall.
Yao Jiaxin just didn't understand what Wang Yicheng meant, and glanced at the east side hall in a blink of an eye, "The side hall of this Yongshou Palace is also quite spacious." So saying, he walked away.
The king Yicheng did not stop him, but quickly followed, "The noble man is cautious in his words and deeds, the slave is too anxious, and I ask the noble man to forgive his sins." ”
Yao Jiaxin said in her heart: Wang Yicheng's move, I am afraid that there is a great intention to test her heart, if she is really a favored person, I am afraid that Wang Yicheng will choose a good bird to perch on.
This east side hall is also a brand new, although not as majestic and gorgeous as the main hall, but it is also many times stronger than the side hall of Xianfu Palace. All the furniture is brand new rosewood, the beaded curtains and curtains are all gorgeous, and the bed has been laid with a fine cloud brocade quilt - you can directly move in with your bag.
This is like the place where the little masters live, her previous house, if no one told her, she couldn't believe it was a noble palace.
Yao Jiaxin nodded with satisfaction, and Su Yu said with a smile: "It's so well cleaned up inside and outside here." ”
Wang Yicheng said with a smile: "Take a look at the nobles, if you feel that there is anything missing, the slave will ask someone to replenish it." ”
Yao Jiaxin looked at this Wang Yicheng carefully, his face was white and beardless, his smile was kind, and he looked like a loyal and good person - it seems that there are quite a few eunuchs like this in the palace, but Yao Jiaxin doesn't believe that there are so many loyal and honest people in the palace.
"It's all good, sorry for your trouble." Yao Jiaxin said politely.
Wang Yicheng looked flattered, and hurriedly bent down and said: "The noble man is really tormenting the slave, the emperor has appointed a slave to serve the little master, and the slave is just doing his duty." ”
It's a humble and loyal gesture.
Yao Jiaxin was carried by Su Yu to the Luohan couch near the window, and sat on the soft and comfortable marigold yellow cloud satin mattress with her feet, sighing in her heart, she was reluctant to make clothes like such a good cloud satin before, but now it is under her buttocks. The lazy arm rested on the marigold cloud satin pillow next to him.
Wang Yicheng stepped forward quickly, bowed down and asked: "I don't know how much is left of the little master's luggage, so the slave will ask someone to move it back." ”
"Uh...... No more! At this moment, Yao Jiaxin couldn't hide her embarrassment, "It's already done." "Xiao Yangzi, Xiao Liuzi, Su Yu, and Nong Yun all moved in one trip......
Wang Yicheng really didn't think about this possibility, although he also knew that this Yao nobleman would not have too many family backgrounds, but he didn't expect it...... After being silent for a moment, Wang Yicheng said with a smile: "These few who serve the little master are diligent. ”
After praising the four people, Wang Yicheng immediately changed the topic: "Those dog minions in the Internal Affairs Office, they have deducted a lot of nobles before, and the minions have already been beaten by others, and it won't be long before you will make up for what you lack." ”
Yao Jiaxin glanced at Wang Yicheng: "You are very capable." "-Deduction? During the New Year's Festival, the chicken and duck meat were deducted, isn't it Zhang Qilin's handiwork? It seems that Zhang Qilin arranged for Wang Yicheng to come over, is this to make up for it?
Wang Yicheng humbly lowered his head: "This is all because the little master you have the blue eyes of the saint, and the slave is just running errands." ”
As long as she can always get the "blue eyes" of His Majesty the Fourth Master, this kind of treatment will continue forever, otherwise......
Yao Jiaxin took a deep breath, "I'm a little tired. ”
"Yes, little master, please rest in peace, the slave will retreat first." Wang Yicheng knelt down and retreated.
Seeing this, Su Yu said in a low voice: "Little lord, the prince is the brother of Wang Chaoqing, the eight-rank eunuch in front of the emperor. "And Wang Chaoqing is the apprentice of General Manager Zhang......
Yao Jiaxin nodded, it turned out that there was such a relationship, so Zhang Qilin stuffed Wang Yicheng over.
"Little master, can you trust this prince?" Su Yu looked worried.
Yao Jiaxin calmed down slightly, "As soon as he met, he reported his origins, and he was very dedicated to doing things." ”
"Let's use it first." Yao Jiaxin felt that as long as she could be favored, Wang Yicheng's problem would not be big, if she couldn't be favored...... This prince has such a backer, he will definitely not stay by her side as an old nobleman, and will naturally look for another high branch.
Su Yu said in a low voice: "Don't worry, the little master, the slave will be more attentive." ”
"Hmm...... Don't be too deliberate. Yao Jiaxin advised.
"Yes, little lord."
On this move, although Yao Jiaxin didn't make much effort, she walked all the way to Xianfu Palace to Yongshou Palace, her feet and calves were a little sore, and she was indeed a little tired. - Her body is really delicate.
Leaning on the pillow, Yao Jiaxin pretended to sleep to recuperate, and at this time the eunuch Xiao Yangzi walked in, "Little master, the two nobles from Qixiang Palace came to visit. ”
Two nobles in Qixiang Palace?
Yao Jiaxin suddenly became excited, isn't that Qianlong's mother Niu Hulu and Hongday's mother Geng? These are the final two winners of the Yongzheng Dynasty's harem!
"Come in!" Yao Jiaxin hurriedly said.
