Chapter 64: Palace Rules

Sizhen knew that Sebao Gege had already made a plan in her heart, and she came to ask herself, just to have peace of mind, but since she asked her, she couldn't see Sebao Gege giving someone a handle.

After thinking about it, Sizhen smiled and said: "Concubine Ke wears Hanfu, which is specially approved by the queen mother and the emperor, Rao is so, she still has to wear a flag dress at the palace banquet, which shows that she is cautious and careful......"

Sebao Gege immediately understood, and she said disappointedly: "You still have to wear a flag outfit?" But, but the dance I danced ......."

"When you're dancing, you can change your clothes ahead of time so you don't get in the way. If you find it inconvenient to bring clothes, say hello to the people in the music workshop in advance, put the dance clothes in their clothes, and prepare together. Sizhen knew what Sebao Gege was worried about, and gave her an idea.

There is a queen mother staring, and the emperor's mind is mostly above the court, in the palace, the full and Mongolian concubines are no longer favored, and their status is higher than that of the Han concubines, and the difference in position is like a natural chasm.

When Saibao heard this, she showed a grateful and runny look, but in a blink of an eye, she opened her mouth and asked: "Ah Zhen, you are the most generous person, the emperor treats you like a sister, I think, please bring my dance clothes over, it is more convenient, you also know that there are many people in the music room, in case you get confused or get your clothes dirty, you will miss a big thing......"

"Sebo, are you enough?" Without waiting for Sizhen to speak, Talma raised her eyebrows and sneered, "You are too much, although Ah Zhen is loved by the emperor, but in this palace, the people who are staring at her are expecting her to make mistakes, but there are too many to go, help you bring the dance clothes in, in case something goes wrong, wouldn't it be for her to carry the black pot for you?" If you don't want someone from the music room to bring it, let your palace maid bring it in. It's nothing more than being scolded, with the imperial uncle supporting you, what are you afraid of? ”

Sebao was surprised, because of the affection of the clan, Talma has always been polite to her, and even compared to other Gege, she has more affection between sisters, and never puts on any Jin Ruige shelf, that's how she and Sizhen gradually became acquainted.

It's the first time that Talma has said her mercilessly like this.

Saibao's eyes suddenly turned red, she looked at Talma and said: "Talma, you are the emperor's niece, the granddaughter of the queen mother, you are in the palace, not to say that you want the wind to be windy, to be rainy, but also everywhere is smooth, where do you know our suffering!" If you are not careful, anyone can find my fork, bring more clothes, on the surface it is nothing, but if you make any lady unhappy, you can punish you in the name of extravagance, you also know, the emperor advocates frugality, and now at this palace banquet, no one is allowed to bring more clothes......"

Talma fell silent.

Since the queen was abolished, several concubines were in charge of the harem, and Concubine Duanshun thought that in the name of the country's worries, she reduced the monthly rules of the concubines and concubines, not to mention, even at the banquets at all levels, they were not allowed to bring a few replacement clothes, saying that the cost was too great and too extravagant and wasteful.

After all, when participating in a banquet, the more the masters of each palace are, the more people will serve with them, and they have to arrange for people to look at the changed clothes and jewelry.

Of course, those concubines, as well as identities like Kong Sizhen and Talma, can still be brought, but those who are not qualified are concubines who do not have a sacred heart, and little Gege. It would be good if they could have a chance to attend the palace banquet.

Like Saibao, who has a sacred heart, but has no identity and obstructs the eyes of the concubines, he is the object of strict guarding.

There are so many holy graces, more here, less over there, and the ladies in high positions, on the one hand, do not take a small Gege like Saibao in their eyes, and on the other hand, they will prevent them from flying on the branches and becoming phoenixes.

To put it bluntly, such palace rules are just a means for those concubines who are in charge of palace affairs to divide powers, punish and win people's hearts.

Therefore, although the four chastities can prepare a change of clothes, if they bring the treasure again, they will be caught with sore feet and criticized for their extravagance, which is inconsistent with the frugality that the emperor has always advocated.

Thinking of the palace, there are so many twists and turns in the palace alone, Sizhen suddenly felt that maybe, as Mama said, she should use her marriage to consider leaving this place of right and wrong earlier.

Looking at the tearful Saibao, Sizhen couldn't help but soften, and said with a smile: "It's okay, leave it to me, I don't plan to bring any replacement clothes anyway." ”

Talma was anxious: "Ah Zhen, if there is soup sprinkled on the body on the feast......

"It doesn't matter, the palace banquet is set in the Yangxin Palace, very close to Concubine Jing's Yongshou Palace, in case something happens, I'll go to Concubine Jing's place to change clothes."

"Are you still close to Concubine Jing?" Talma looked at Sizhen with a complicated expression, "Don't you know that the imperial uncle hates Concubine Jing the most?" Even this palace banquet arranged her position in a very remote corner. ”

"Concubine Jing is straightforward, she is a very good person, but there is a misunderstanding with the emperor, the emperor does not hate her, but he doesn't want to see her, you think about it, it turns out that Concubine Ke lives in Yongshou Palace, after Concubine Jing was demoted, the Queen Mother arranged for Concubine Jing to live in Yongshou Palace, and moved Concubine Ke to Yonghe Palace, the emperor knew, and did not say anything...... "Sebao Gege, but has another opinion."

Sizhen couldn't help but look at her with admiration, this Saibao, observant, if it weren't for the limitations of his family background, in this palace, he would be able to exert some punches.

She couldn't help but regret that she had relented for a moment just now and agreed to Sebao's request.

After thinking about it, Sizhen smiled dumbly for her foresight: It's just a piece of clothing, what kind of turmoil is there, should it be, she Kong Sizhen is still afraid that those charms will not succeed?

At the moment, several people made an appointment to attend the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve.

For Sebao, this is a good opportunity for her to borrow strength, Talma feels that Sebao is by her side, which undoubtedly shows that she is a kind-hearted person who is willing to take care of the people in the family, and Sizhen does not care, so she agrees.

**

Saibao got up early in the morning, went to Hanzhang Palace, sat in the hall, drank two cups of tea, waited left and right and didn't see Sizhen coming, and couldn't help but be secretly anxious.

She was about to go to Sizhen's bedroom to have a look, when she heard a familiar footstep at the door, and then a heroic and pretty face appeared in front of her.

"I've kept you waiting, I'm sorry, I'm just done practicing."

Sebao Gege breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily: "Ah Zhen, you really practice three times in winter, three times in summer, and you don't rest for a day." ”

As he spoke, Sebao looked Sizhen up and down.

The long black and shiny hair was combed into two heads, with peony flowers made of pearls and jade, a python satin flag jacket with water-green inlaid wool shoulders, a goose-yellow collar, stepping on the bottom of the flower pot, and walked over steadily, looking at the waist is waist and chest is chest, just walking these few steps, I looked at the graceful and plump and graceful.

In addition, the eyes are as bright as stars, the corners of the lips are smiling, and the eyebrows are slightly raised.

Such a character, who can be literate and martial, is full of Han and Han languages, if he enters the palace as a concubine, he can't say, there is really no place for them to stand.

The more she looked at it, the more sour she felt, she squeezed out a smile and praised: "The people around you are getting better and better at grooming." ”

was pouring tea for Sizhen, and when he heard Saibao's praise, the lark hurriedly stepped forward with a smile: "Thank you for Sebaogege's praise, this is a matter for the slave and maid." ”

Saibao was very appreciative of the lark's cleverness and respect, and ordered her personal palace maid to take a few pieces of silver and hand them to the lark, "It's a big New Year, it's rare that you can still be so dedicated, this bit of silver, take it to buy something you like." ”

Although several big palace maids around this reward silver Sizhen have a share, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Saibao attaches great importance to the lark.

The lark got this dignity, took the silver prize, and retired with a happy face.

Leaving their sight, the smile on the lark's face faded, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

It is rare to have such a good opportunity to go to the palace banquet to open her eyes, but on such an occasion, she has participated once, and Gege only brings thrushes and larks most of the time......

No matter how hard she dedicates, she will just get more money.

"Ah Zhen, why didn't you bring a lark to today's Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet?" After sitting in the soft sedan chair, seeing the lark standing at the door and looking at them, Sebao Gege asked a little puzzled.

Sizhen is surrounded by several big palace maids, counting the larks with the most outstanding appearance and the most clever temperament, but Sizhen doesn't seem to like it very much, obviously everyone went out with them, got into the sedan chair, but asked her to go back.

Sizhen smiled casually: "She looks so good, I'm afraid that someone will misunderstand, thinking that I want to have a character in my own courtyard." ”

Last year in the Palace of Raising the Heart, the lark's eyes were too flexible, and she was extremely well-behaved, coupled with her pretty appearance, she was very eye-catching among the palace maids, and someone secretly inquired whether it was because Sizhen was in the filial piety period, so she wanted to let the palace maids around her wait for the emperor first...... She didn't want to make a lot of noise this year.

To say that the lark is good in everything is that there are too many words, and the eyes are too lively, which is not suitable for such an occasion.

Sebao Gege listened, thoughtful.

The two of them chatted all the way, and when they arrived at the Heart Cultivation Palace, they heard Talma's crisp laughter.

When they met, they looked at each other and complimented each other.

After praising Sizhen, Talma said with a smile: "Saibao, you look so good in this flag costume today, people with white skin look the best in peach." ”

In her heart, she secretly pouted: It's just a little too eye-catching, wearing such a delicate color on an occasion where concubines and concubines gather, it shows how strong Saibao's desire to show his head and feet is!

Saibao immediately reciprocated: "Where can I compare to you, look at the pearl green at your end, the eyes of people who are shaking can't open, and the younger sister is more and more radiant and beautiful." ”
