When it was approaching dusk, Yun Yao arrived at the main gate of Yongshou Palace under the greeting of a group of people, and Yun Yao found an acquaintance at the gate of the palace.

The man saw Yun Yao from a distance and hurriedly came forward to ask for Andao: "Liang Jiugong has seen Zhao Concubine Niangniang, Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an." ”

Yun Yao saw Liang Jiugong salute and ordered Mama Su to step forward to help him up, and said, "Manager Liang is polite, why bother Manager Liang to come." Yun Yao said and asked Liang Jiugong to walk into the main hall with him.

Liang Jiugong looked flattered and said: "Concubine Zhao, the saint asked the slaves to come, see if there is any shortage here, let the slaves be sent." ”

As soon as Liang Jiugong's words came out, the entire Yongshou Palace was honored, after all, except for the queen and Concubine Niu Hulu in the harem, no one could make the saint remember, and sent Liang Jiugong to Yongshou Palace, what a grace! All of a sudden, the people in the entire Yongshou Palace were very much looking forward to Yun Yao, after all, it was much better to serve a master with holy grace than a master without holy grace. In this way, they can also ascend to heaven.

Liang Jiugong and Yun Yao are both shrewd people, and they have also discovered the changes in the minions in this palace at this moment, so Yun Yao is very grateful.

"It's my honor to come here, and I want to thank Mr. Liang a lot."

Liang Jiugong is also a good person, so he naturally knows that Yun Yao's words mean that she has already received this love, and it will be much smoother to have a relationship in the future. Moreover, Liang Jiugong specially said this in front of all the eunuchs and palace maids this time, obviously for Yun Yao's prestige. Liang Jiugong naturally wants to be appreciated by others when he does this, otherwise he won't do it in vain!

Liang Jiugong said respectfully: "Concubine Zhao is polite, this is the kindness of the saint, and the slave does not dare to take it on his behalf." ”

Seeing this, Yun Yao also knew that she was reckless, after all, her current identity was somewhat inappropriate to say such things.

"Manager Liang is right, it's just that I just entered the palace, and I'm still a little unfamiliar with these, so I'm going to trouble Manager Liang."

Liang Jiugong saw that Yun Yao was quite spiritual, but he was even more urgent about the idea in his heart, so he bowed down and smiled: "Don't bother, don't bother, let the slave report the situation of Yongshou Palace for Concubine Zhao!" ”

Yun Yao said: "Then I have to ask Mr. Liang!" ”

Liang Jiugong waved his hand again and again and said: "What does Niangniang say, please ask, the slave can't afford it, this Yongshou Palace is one of the six palaces in the west of the inner court, the north of this Yongshou Palace is Yikun Palace, and the west side is Changchun Palace, and Yongshou Palace is very close to the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace and Yangxin Palace, so the Holy Lord and the Empress Dowager have also rested here before." ”

Yun Yao immediately understood what Liang Jiugong meant, this was to remind her not to let the Empress Dowager rest in the past, but Yun Yao muttered a little in her heart, I don't know where the Empress Dowager and the Holy Lord rested in the past, it can't be the main hall! Then she, the concubine, will never live in the side hall!

Although Yun Yao was worried about this matter in her heart, she still didn't show it on her face, and just asked Liang Jiugong: "Manager Liang, I don't know where the Empress Dowager and the Holy Lord rested in the past, is it a little inappropriate for me to live here?" ”

In ancient times, it was said that the Venerable was secret, since there were more noble people living in Yongshou Palace, Yun Yao naturally couldn't go in to live anymore, otherwise a crime of contempt for the emperor and the queen mother would be enough for Yun Yao to bear.

Liang Jiugong secretly sighed in his heart Yun Yao's understanding, and said: "Niangniang, rest assured, in the past, the Empress Dowager only rested in the east side hall, and the saint rested in the west side hall, Niang Niang only needs to pay attention to these two places and not arrange people to live." ”

Yun Yao was secretly happy when she heard this, the East and West Matching Hall was originally just a place where low-status concubines lived, so there would be no concubines in her palace to disturb her.

Yun Yao said, "Manager Liang, I just don't know where I live?" ”

Liang Jiugong replied: "Niangniang lives in the main hall behind the Yongshou Palace, and the emperor instructed that you are the lord of the Yongshou Palace, so you need to deal with the big and small affairs in the Yongshou Palace." ”

As soon as Liang Jiugong's words came out, the palace people who were not very attentive to Yun Yao before immediately became very attentive. Nonsense, because the lord of the harem has always been a concubine, but Yun Yao's position as a concubine is not particularly weighty, so except for the eunuchs and palace maids where Yun Yao lives are a little nervous, people from other places just come over to make a show.

So Liang Jiugong's words made these people start to tense their nerves.

And Yun Yao is not surprised, after all, Yun Yao has received so much grace from Kangxi before, it can be said that it would be strange if Kangxi let Yun Yao not be the head of the harem! Therefore, Yun Yao was worried that the emperor and the empress dowager would rest in the main hall, after all, if it was true, then Yun Yao would not be able to stay in the main hall even if it was broken.

Moreover, Yun Yao believed that since the emperor wanted to win over her uncle and even deal with Kubilong, it was unlikely that she would live in a side hall like those concubines and not be in charge of the palace. As for why the concubines and concubines in the harem are a watershed, it is because of the palace power.

The palace power here does not refer to the power of the harem, but to the power of one of the six palaces in the east and west where the concubines live. It can be said that each harem lord has the power to dispose of all the low-ranking concubines and palace maids and eunuchs in the palace where she lives.

And since Yun Yao was determined by Kangxi to be the lord of Yongshou Palace, then she has the right to dispose of all the people in Yongshou Palace, which is also the reason why those palace people who had nothing to do with themselves before suddenly were in awe of her.

Yun Yao said very calmly: "Since this is the case, then thank the emperor Longen." ”

Liang Jiugong was surprised to see Yun Yao's pampered and humiliated appearance, but he was surprised in his heart. Therefore, he also glanced at Yun Yao. Said: "Niangniang, there are special eunuchs and palace maids in every hall of this Yongshou Palace, but there is no other master in this Yongshou Palace except for Zhao Concubine Niangniang." ”

Yun Yao listened to Liang Jiugong's explanation and understood what he meant, after all, the emperor and the empress dowager had rested in Yongshou Palace before, since this was the case, naturally there would be no concubines or the like living here, even the queen would not do such a stupid thing.

Yun Yao nodded to Liang Jiugong and said, "Remember what Chief Liang said!" ”

Liang Jiugong continued: "There are also the servants around Niangniang There are ten eunuchs and six palace maids according to the rule, there are two chief eunuchs in this eunuch, and the others are all small eunuchs, and these six palace maids in the palace maids are all big palace maids, so these people are all close to Niangniang, Niangniang also has a housekeeper, in addition to the few people brought into the palace by Niangniang, Niangniang also needs to choose a few in the Internal Affairs Office, does this Niangniang have any special instructions?" ”

Liang Jiugong's question was vague, but Yun Yao also understood what he meant, it was nothing more than asking her if there were any people who were specially going to be transferred to the Yongshou Palace, and these people were nothing more than the minions that Yun Yao's family had cultivated for her before. Yun Yao was not polite at this time, and said, "I don't know who are the alternative eunuchs and palace maids?" ”

Liang Jiugong understood in seconds, so he said: "Niangniang sit down here for the time being, the slave will let those people come over, Niangniang doesn't know, before Niangniang came, the slave ordered them to come, just wait for Niangniang to choose!" ”

Liang Jiugong did not forget to show his merits while speaking, it can be said that what Liang Jiugong said today is very naked.

Yun Yao listened to Liang Jiugong's words, covered her lips with a handkerchief and smiled: "Naturally, I won't forget the hard work of Manager Liang, and then I will trouble Manager Liang?" ”

Liang Jiugong hurriedly said: "No hard work, no hard work, this is the duty of a slave." As he spoke, he said goodbye to Yun Yao.

And Yun Yao looked at the back of Liang Jiugong leaving, and then said to Mama Su: "Mama, go in quickly, I'm so tired that I can't speak!" ”

Mama Su helped Yun Yao into the main hall and sat down, and said solemnly beside her: "Niangniang, you should call yourself this palace." ”

Yun Yao tilted her seat and waved her hand: "What Mama Su said is, didn't you remember this palace!" Besides, has this palace been crowned as the lord of the Eternal Longevity Palace by the Holy Lord before, if this palace claims to be like this, it will not let others laugh off their big teeth! ”

Mama Su said: "Niangniang, everyone above the concubine can call herself the palace, why should Niangniang be humble?" ”

Yun Yao smiled bitterly, "If this is really the case, I'm afraid there will be many people who will say that this palace is arrogant!" What's more, this palace has entered the palace with so many rumors before, so let's do less things that make people chew the root of the tongue! ”

Mama Su was also speechless when she saw this, she naturally spread a lot of rumors before Yun Yao entered the palace, although in the end those were not true, but they also left a bad impression on outsiders, although these rumors are not true, but these rumors are as annoying as flies, Yun Yao chose to do more than less, it is also a helpless move.

In the end, Mama Su could only comfort Yun Yao, "Master, you have been wronged!" ”

Yun Yao listened to Mama Su's words and sat up straight and said: "Mama Su is serious, this rumor before entering the palace is nothing more than an attempt to obstruct the palace from entering the palace, but since the palace has already entered, naturally he will not be afraid of such people who can only spread rumors, and the emperor is sage, so he can naturally distinguish between right and wrong, and the palace also believes that the emperor is fair and strict, what grievances does the palace have?" Mama's words made people think that the palace was dissatisfied with the saint! ”

Mama Su listened to Yun Yao's words and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The master forgives the sin, it is the slave who is lying in vain!" ”

Yun Yao looked at Mama Su kneeling down and pleading guilty and felt so bored, usually Mama Su was the most cautious and would not say such a thing at all, but Mama Su said it now.

With Mama Su's ability to protect herself, she would not say such taboo words at all, and her real master is Kangxi, even if Mama Su didn't say it in front of Kangxi, but if she didn't say bad things about him behind her back without Kangxi's permission, Mama Su must have felt that her life was too long.

So there must be director Kangxi behind this conversation, intending to test her true thoughts. If Yun Yao didn't know Mama Su's true identity, I'm afraid she would have fallen into the pit. And her fate will definitely not be very good after that, even if she is still useful to Kangxi now, but after she has no use value, it is unknown what Kangxi will do with her.

Yun Yao thought about Kangxi's thoughts for a while, but felt that she was too passive now, maybe Kangxi was also very suspicious of her because of the affairs of the harem, but in this way, Kangxi's temptations day after day would sooner or later expose her flaws.

Yun Yao saw Mama Su kneeling on the ground, and suddenly thought of a plan, so she pretended to sigh and said: "Mama Su, you tell this palace, who are you, you have been slandering the saint, if you continue like this, this palace will not tolerate you!" ”

Mama Su panicked when she heard Yun Yao's words, thinking that her identity was exposed, but then Yun Yao's words made Mama Su understand that Yun Yao did not find out her identity, but suspected that she was someone else's spy, which made Mama Su cry and laugh.

hurriedly said: "The master misunderstood, the slave has never betrayed the master!" Slaves and maids can swear, if slaves and maids harm their masters, they will not die well by thunder and thunder! ”

Mama Su was also a little overwhelmed at this time, after all, she did say a lot of bad things about the emperor in front of Yun Yao these days, but it was all she who was ordered by the emperor to test Concubine Zhao! Unexpectedly, he actually provoked Zhao Concubine to suspect that he was someone else's pawn.

Of course, Mama Su never suspected that Yun Yao already knew his identity, after all, this kind of thing would not be discovered by Yun Yao, who had never entered the palace, and even the old people in the palace would not doubt Mama Su's identity.

So Mama Su has nothing to do now, she can only swear to express her attitude in a hurry, and her oath is also true, of course she has never harmed Concubine Zhao, just monitoring and tempting.

Yun Yao listened to Mama Su's oath, and said with a smile in her heart, you didn't hurt me, you just wanted to spy on me, and you were just tempting. That's a lot more hurtful than just that.

Yun Yao also accepted it when she saw it: "Mama, since you have found such a poisonous oath, this palace will naturally believe you, get up quickly!" ”

Mama Su got up tremblingly and thanked her. Yun Yao felt that her ears could finally be cleaned, at least for a short time, Mama Su would not dare to test it. However, Yun Yao knows that this is just a symptom but not a cure, as long as she can't gain Kangxi's trust, this kind of temptation will not stop, and even more Kangxi will send more people to monitor her, Yun Yao feels that she has to think of a way to cure the root cause, if she can gain Kangxi's trust, then her future road will be much easier.

At this time, a preach came outside the door: "Niangniang, Manager Liang has brought someone from the Internal Affairs Office here." ”

Yun Yao said: "Mama, please ask Manager Liang to come in!" ”

Mama Su hurriedly stepped forward to open the door, only Mama Su and Yun Yao were in the hall, so naturally Mama Su stepped forward to open the door.

Liang Jiugong waited outside the door for Concubine Zhao's summons, who knew that after waiting for a while, she actually waited for Mama Su to come and open the door, and on the surface, Mama Su seemed to be a little depressed, and she was also a little embarrassed, I don't know what blow she received.

Liang Jiugong was very curious when he saw this, Liang Jiugong didn't know Mama Su's identity very well, but he vaguely guessed that Mama Su could gain a firm foothold in the harem before, and naturally someone would help. And what can be done except for the current saint and the empress dowager, no one else will be Mama Su's backer, and more importantly, Liang Jiugong also understands the emperor's temperament, and the emperor will not allow the empress dowager to control his harem, so the people behind Mama Su are about to come out.

Don't look at Liang Jiugong thinking so much, it's actually just a momentary thing. When Liang Jiugong saw Mama Su, he didn't seem to notice anything wrong with Mama Su at all, and said directly: "Mama Su, why bother you to come, our family is flattered!" ”

Of course, Mama Su didn't want people to see her embarrassment, but she was the only one in the hall, so naturally she could only step forward in person.

Mama Su tugged at the corners of her mouth and smiled reluctantly: "Where is it, Father-in-law Liang is tired." After speaking, Mama Su asked a palace maid next to her to take Liang Jiugong into the inner room and went down to freshen up herself.
