"As a concubine, it is the Empress Dowager Zhaohui who personally promoted the maid." - "The Scroll of the Concubine of the Letters"

The will to canonize Qingyi soon came down.

According to the ancestral system of the national dynasty, the palace maid is fortunate to be the emperor and the prince, and the lowest title is the concubine at the beginning, and the lowest title in the East Palace is the concubine. However, perhaps because of the people in the Empress Dowager's palace, Qingyi was promoted to be a maid, ranking fifth in the East Palace.

"Since the lady is now the servant of His Royal Highness the Prince, according to etiquette, you should ask the side concubine Niangniang to say goodbye. It's just that it's getting late today, so the mother ordered that you just wait for tomorrow to go and say goodbye. ”

Old Qin of the East Palace, who had served Qingyi, reminded, "Rong Nuwen reminds you that although the side concubine is a side concubine, she is about to be canonized as a concubine." You can't afford to be lazy. ”

Qingyi nodded and thanked respectfully: "Remind Elder Xie, I know." ”

Qing Yi knew the situation in the East Palace earlier, and the current prince Li Chun of the East Palace did not have a concubine, only five concubines.

Now in the East Palace, the highest-ranking concubine Qi is presiding, and the concubine Qi Shengxuan is the daughter of Qi Wei, the leader of the Guanxi Party in the current dynasty.

The reason why he didn't become the crown prince and concubine was just because of a few words from Qin Tianjian, saying that Qi Shengxuan's life was in conflict with the passing years, so he had to first aggried his identity and become a side concubine, and temporarily took charge of the affairs of the East Palace.

Just wait for the celestial phenomenon to pass, and it will be a good day to canonize the concubine.

The remaining concubines of the East Palace are only Li Shiwei, the daughter of Li Yao, the first assistant of the cabinet of the current dynasty, who is the position of Liangdi, second only to the position of Concubine Qi, and the rest are Chang Xu Huirong, Chang Lu Shunyu, Xiaoyuan Zhu Zhenyun, these people.

Yan Qiuniang, who was serving beside Qingyi, saw the changes in the environment around the East Palace, and couldn't help but praise: "It was much stronger than the division [Note 1]. ”

Qiu Niang was serving in the Division with Qingyi at that time, and the two were the best sisters at that time.

Because Qingyi was born as a commoner, she was excluded and harassed by many nobles and Chinese who were also serving in the division at that time, but only Qiu Niang would help. Later, Qingyi was canonized, and Qingyi begged the Empress Dowager to let Qiu Niang be her personal maid.

The Empress Dowager means that people in the deep palace must have confidants, and naturally there is no reason not to agree.

Early the next morning, Qingyi got up early to freshen up, for fear that it was the wrong time to say goodbye to Concubine Qi.

As soon as Qingyifu stepped into the palace where Concubine Qi lived, she felt a deep smell of sandalwood, and it was comfortable to smell.

Then, I saw a woman sitting upright, wearing a rose-red pleated moon skirt, and a azure Shu brocade double-color phoenix opera peony pattern robe on the upper body, full of luxury and dignified dress.

It is like a high-flying peony flower king, not contaminated with the worldly wildflower temperament, Gu Zi open, is the glory of the flowers. Even the branches on the body are exuding luster jade all the time.

Just teach people to look at it, it is the style of a wife...... But after all, it's not a wife.

"Concubine maid Zhang, meet the side concubine Niangniang, Niangniang Wan'an." After saying that, Qingyi also bowed to the concubine Qi Fang.

That big gift was originally acceptable to the concubine, but in this palace, everyone acquiesced, and the left and right concubines were going to canonize the concubine in the future, and now it is naturally not too much to receive the concubine's courtesy.

The difference between Qi Shengxuan and Concubine Zheng is just a name.

Concubine Qi lowered her eyes slightly, with a demure smile on the corner of her mouth, and her gentleness was slowly displayed from the inside to the outside like the jewel camellia on the table.

She quietly watched Qingyi salute, and when the ceremony was over, she just said unhurriedly: "Sister Zhang, get up and sit down." ”

Qingyi thanked him, then picked up the seat at the end of the lower left and sat down, and said respectfully to Concubine Qi: "I should have come to meet Concubine Niangniang earlier, but I entered the East Palace a little late yesterday, I was afraid of disturbing Niangniang, so I came today, and I asked Niangniang to forgive my sins." ”

Concubine Qi was polite, but everyone could hear the indifference and distance in her tone, "Sister Zhang just came from Wanshou Palace, so it is naturally hard. I'm not in a hurry to ask for peace for a while. Later...... That is, our sisters will serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince together. ”

"Isn't it? The side concubine Niangniang is naturally dignified and dignified, and while you are in charge of the affairs of the size of the East Palace, you have to bother arranging the concubines on the other. You've worked so hard! Li Liangdi, who was the first in the lower left of Concubine Qi, said.

If it is said that Concubine Qi is a dignified and self-contained graceful peony, and her every move is Zhou Zheng's breath, then Li Liangdi in front of her is completely different, Li Liangdi's extreme beauty, if it is said that it is the most peaceful in Beijing, it is not an exaggeration.

Qingyi has never seen such a beautiful woman, and when she is so beautiful that she can bloom, it is enough to amaze the time in Miyagi.

People in the world often say, "Looking back and smiling, the six palaces have no color." It was used to describe Concubine Yang's appearance of the six palaces, but it was fulfilled on Li Liangdi. Although the flowers of these six palaces are all extremely beautiful, in front of Li Liangdi, they seem to have turned into ordinary willows, with only a little bit of light.

is so beautiful that it blooms to the extreme, and no one can compare to Yanhua.

Li Liangdi looked at what Qingyi was wearing, but it was just a thick cotton pink and white pear blossom beaded embroidered jacket, and a light water blue pleated Ruyi horse-faced skirt on her lower body, and she couldn't help but chuckle lightly.

"The sister of the Zhang family is the concubine of the newly crowned Royal Highness the Prince, but this dress is too simple. This is good, it's the woman of His Royal Highness the Prince, sister, don't be restrained, dress up well! ”

As soon as Li Liangdi's words changed, she pointed her words to Qingyi, "Don't arrive, let others think that it was the side concubine who treated you harshly!" ”

After hearing this, Concubine Qi only nodded secretly: "Li Liangdi can speak, and I also know that you are for the sake of Sister Zhang and the palace." However, Liangdi has a good heart, but she must also pay attention to her words. ”

Li Liangdi listened, but she didn't care about Concubine Qi's words at all, and only sat in her seat and tasted tea.

Qingyi listened to Concubine Qi's words, and hurriedly saluted: "Thank you for Concubine Niangniang and Li Liangdi's compassion." ”

Concubine Qi didn't care, she only waved her hand and said, "Let's sit down quickly, we sisters, let's talk something." ”

When Qingyi sat down, everyone was just gossiping, but Li Liangdi's words occasionally contained a few hints of provocation.

The sharp battle between the two also secretly taught Qingyi to see a clear difference.

I have to admit that between Concubine Qi's words and actions, the dignity of the concubine's wife is revealed everywhere, and just being there is a top and one dignity.

Although Concubine Qi was not very cordial to Qingyi, she did not forget the meaning of comfort and concern for Qingyi's words everywhere during the chat, not a drop of water, and there was no trace of mistakes.

However, the matter that made the dignified and bodhisattva-like Concubine Qi collapse, soon came.
