When I came into the front hall, I saw that in addition to the Empress Dowager and the emperor and a few more young concubines, there were a few standing, sitting on the emperor's head must be the current queen Hesheri, after all, there can be a few people in the world who can wear bright yellow clothes, and a concubine sitting under the queen's head I don't know who it is, seeing me come in, they who were talking looked at me, I walked over and brought the rock sugar gourd in my hand to the table of the Empress Dowager and said: "Youning is not doing well, the Empress Dowager should not blame it" , said and retreated and saluted the queen and said: "Concubine, Niu Hulu Youning to the queen's mother, Niangniang Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose", I saw her quickly get up and personally help me up and said: "Sister Xian, get up quickly!" I stood up with her and said, "The concubine didn't go to see the mother first, and asked the mother to be guilty", she held my hand and said: "Where is the sister of the virtuous concubine, my sister is here to meet the imperial grandmother, how can I blame you!" ", and then the sitting woman got up and said with a smile: "Sister Xian Concubine has just arrived, and after a long time, I know the queen's mother's personality, and the mother has always cared too much about these things, and my sister doesn't have to take it to heart", I also returned the peace and said to the queen: "The queen's generosity is the blessing of our sisters", before entering the palace, the two grandmothers have told me the general situation in the palace, there are not many high-status concubines in the palace, and her courtesy to me must be Kangxi's cousin Tong Jiashi, Several of the concubines who were standing saluted me one by one, respectively, there are Hui nobles, Yi nobles, virtue and glory.

The Empress Dowager said: "The rock sugar gourd made by Concubine Xian is very delicious, you can all taste it!" Saying that, Aunt Su Mala brought it over, and after everyone thanked her, she took a string of them, and the queen smiled: "There are so many sisters of the virtuous concubine!" I had no choice but to continue: "It's all the concubines who learned to do this because of their own greed, it's not worth mentioning", several nobles also echoed and praised a few words and then ate the rock sugar gourd, maybe it was less skewers, maybe it was the queen mother's gift that she didn't dare to do, anyway, they were all eaten, and some palace maids took the sticks down, and the emperor said: "It's not too early, the imperial grandmother is also tired, and you are all scattered!" The queen got up and said, "Grandmother, rest!" "Everyone heard the words and hurriedly bowed and retired, and I was also busy saluting and retiring, and before I reached the door of the hall, I only heard the emperor say: "Concubine Xian, don't go first, and go back with me later", the concubines threw me a look of envy or jealousy, and they all retreated, the queen may have planned to go with the emperor, so she has not left, and she slowly retreated when she heard the words, and stopped when she walked beside me and said: "Concubine Xian, you have to serve the emperor well", I was busy and said: "Yes", the queen walked out.

Su Mala Gu took the hawthorn cake that was packed, one copy of the emperor in duplicate, one of my shares, I took it and thanked him, the emperor gave the queen mother a salute and came out with me, or sat on the shoulder when he came, the emperor sent me back to the palace and went to the Qianqing Palace to deal with government affairs, I came to the warm pavilion, Yu Ying served tea and snacks and said: "Niangniang, the queen mother's reward has been sent, do you want to see?" I took a sip of tea and said, "No need, you just put it away, when did you send it?" Yu Ying replied: "Niangniang, you and the emperor just left, and sent it", I slowly drank the tea and said casually: "I just met the queen at the queen mother's place, but I didn't hear the queen mention it!" Yu Ying said: "This is a common practice, all the new concubines who enter the palace will be rewarded according to their status, the slave just saw it, the queen mother gave you a lot of rewards!" I said, "It's late tonight, let's go to the queen tomorrow to thank you!" ”。

I put down the tea bowl in my hand, but I don't know what to do next, eat, wear, use nothing and nothing has to be done, although I used to be bored in the house, there are sisters to laugh about, occasionally I can sneak out for a walk, and there are things to worry about in the store, but now?

I didn't want to have too much contact with those concubines, let alone sneak out of the palace, so I asked, "Yuying, do we have any books in the palace?" Yu Ying shook her head and said, "Back to Niangniang, no", I said helplessly: "Then you accompany me to walk around our palace!" Yu Yingfu said: "Yes, Niangniang."

I live in the front hall of the West Warm Pavilion, the East Warm Pavilion is Kangxi's biological mother Xiao Kangzhang Queen lived before her death, it is said that Kangxi was born there, in order to show respect so the East Warm Pavilion is not inhabited, in addition to a few pots of osmanthus decoration in the yard there are many potted flowers, Yu Ying said that it was sent a few days ago, these flowers are very good, it can be seen that it is carefully taken care of, I wandered to the backyard, there are two large flower ponds in the backyard are planted with begonias, I came to the tree to see the begonia fruit full of trees, I said to Yu Ying:" Go back, you pick two palace maids with quick hands and feet to come and pick some begonia fruits, I want to pickle some", Yu Ying agreed, the apse is similar to the front hall, the east and west are matched with the hall, and the small kitchen is also located here, turn around and return to the front hall Warm Pavilion just sat down Xiaolan came in with a bowl of spicy hot, (friends are not mistaken, it is spicy hot) Xiaolan put it on the small table on the couch and said: "Miss is hungry!" Xiaolan made a spicy hot, you can use some first! ”。

The rules of the Manchus in the Qing Dynasty are different from ours now, they have two meals a day, one meal at eight or nine o'clock in the morning, and then dinner at five or six o'clock in the summer, dinner at three or four o'clock in winter, and some snacks will be used in the middle of the two meals, and supper will be eaten at night, but for me, a modern northerner who has eaten three meals for more than 20 years, it is very unaccustomed to it, in my concept that dim sum is equal to a snack, although there is a night snack at night, it is similar to three meals, but breakfast and dinner are too far away, so I eat three meals, At the beginning of the suburban courtyard,Bihe and their family is full of people,But it's been sinicized for a long time.,So they're all eating three meals.,Later, I lived in the capital three times a day.,And then I went back to the house.,The house is still full of two meals a day.,Slowly get used to it.,Only occasionally there will be a meal in the middle.,It's just to add all kinds of snacks I like.,What spicy hot,Lean meatballs and the like.,At the beginning, I did it myself.,The most to do is spicy hot.,Simple and fast.,Xiaolan learned it herself after watching it a few times without teaching., It's pretty delicious.
