Soon the canonization decree came down, Tong Ruohua was named a concubine, Zhang Jiachuzhen was named a concubine, and she was the lord of Chuxiu Palace, and she also moved to the apse of Chuxiu Palace as a dormitory. Wan Liuhai Yiyi, who gave birth to the twelfth elder brother Yinqi, was also promoted to a nobleman, Wang Meiyu was promoted to Chang Zai because she gave birth to a fifteenth elder brother, and Yuan Que was promoted to Chang Zai because she gave birth to Linlang Gege.

Then, the palace maids Chen, Niu Hulu, Chang and Gardenia were selected as promises, and they lived in Yanxi Palace, Xianfu Palace, Jingren Palace, and Zhongcui Palace.

On the day of the canonization, Xuan Ye turned over the brand of Gardenia, and at that time, Gardenia had not yet moved to Zhongcui Palace, but was only carried into Qianqing Palace from the residence of Yonghe Palace.

On the second day, Gardenia moved to the side hall of Zhongcui Palace with a hint of resentment.

According to the rules of the palace, it was promised that there would be two personal palace maids to wait, and it was the two who were assigned to Gardenia Yun, who had a good relationship with each other.

As the lord of Zhongcui Palace, Yiyun Yili should also go to worship as soon as possible, but Yiyun didn't want to face Ma Jia Yiqing, so she didn't go for a long time.

"Little master, according to the rules, it's time to go to the main hall to meet Concubine Rong." Li Xue carefully reminded that she understood the grievances between Yiyun and Ma Jia Yiqing, and she also knew that Yiyun was depressed in her heart, but she didn't want Yiyun to offend Ma Jia Yiqing again, and the days ahead would be even more sad.

Gardenia Yun said angrily: "What are you going to do to see her?" Will you be beaten and scolded by her again? I just said a few words to the third elder brother, and she couldn't tolerate me, so Mingcheng beat me half to death. asked the emperor for his life again, and chose me as a promise, didn't he just want to cut off the third elder brother's thoughts about me, lest I ruin the third elder brother's future? ”

As she spoke, Yu Yun cried out and complained: "I just like the third elder brother, if the third elder brother is interested, I will be a concubine." If the third elder brother has no intention, then I will stay by his side, and I can be a slave or a maid. She has already driven me away from the third elder brother, so why should she drag me into this abyss again? ”

The more she thought about it, the more sad and angry she became, she was in a good life, but she had to live alone in such a place. Gardenia knows that in addition to her outstanding appearance, there is nothing better than people. But there has always been no shortage of beauties in the harem, and Gardenia Yun is not as talented as hers, nor is she as good as Wang Meiyu, who is like a fairy, and she is not as eloquent as Zhang Jia Chuzhen, which makes Xuan Ye happy. How can she get the favor to gain a foothold in the harem?

"Her vicious heart pulled me into the abyss, so that I could never escape from this place." Gardenia Yun cried very sadly, and her tears had already burst the embankment.

"Little Lord." Lixue also became uncomfortable, trying to persuade but didn't know where to speak. She has known Gardenia Yun for a long time, and she knows Gardenia's thoughts about Yinzhi. It's just that Ma Jia Yiqing has always attached the most importance to Yinzhi, and she doesn't allow Yinzhi to make a mistake, so how can she allow a little palace maid to accompany Yinzhi. It's all Gardenia's delusion, a little bit of expectation. Gardenia Yun is not unaware that it is impossible for her to be with Yinzhi, and she only looks forward to being by Yinzhi's side. It's a pity that Ma Jia Yiqing not only kept Gardenia away from Yinzhi, but even used this way to completely break Gardenia's thoughts. became the emperor's concubine, that is, Yinzhi's concubine, and they must keep their distance when they see each other, otherwise it will be a capital crime.

"This palace thought that I had taught you a lesson last time, but I didn't expect you to be satisfied." Ma Jia's ruthless voice came from the door, and Yu Yun raised her head and met the other party's cold eyes.

Ma Jia Yiqing was dressed in a dark green robe, holding a green embroidered handkerchief in her hand, stepping on a pair of horseshoe shoes, standing at the door elegant and dignified, but the momentum was terrifying.

Yi Yun stretched out her hand to wipe the tears on her face, and reluctantly got up and bowed slightly to Ma Jia Yiqing: "The concubine body is Concubine Rong, and the mother is blessed with Jin'an." ”

Ma Jia walked towards Gardenia Yun with a light gait, then sat down on the couch on the side, and instructed Mingcheng: "I'm afraid that the rules in the palace are that Gardenia has not yet learned all the promises, and I used to see the palace and knew that I had to kneel down to ask for peace, but now I have sealed the promise, which is indeed different from the past, but it shouldn't be like this." You find a time, teach Yu Yu well, and now that you are in Zhongcui Palace, you have to learn the rules. If you are rude in front of this palace, this palace can not care about you, but there are many concubines in the palace who are higher than you, if you see them, you are still like this, it will be inappropriate. ”

Gardenia Yun trembled and knelt down and muttered, "The concubine knows her mistakes." ”

"If you are wrong, you should change it, not continue to act rashly. What happened in the past, this palace can not be remembered, but in the future, if you have an incident, you will be against this palace. Ma Jia Yiqing said slowly: "When you meet the third elder brother in the future, you need to be cautious to avoid suspicion, don't provoke right and wrong and bring trouble to yourself." ”

Gardenia Yun was silent, and there was always a sense of anger in her heart that she was unwilling to bow to Ma Jia Yiqing. What made her like this was the woman in front of her who didn't like her, but she was powerless to resist.

"Why, does Gardenia think there's something wrong with what this palace said?" Seeing that Yu Yun was only silent, Ma Jia Yiqing was even more displeased, and said a little angrily.

Yu Yun held back her tears, shook her head, and only said: "The concubine knows that she is cheap, and she doesn't dare to have anything to do with the third elder brother." I didn't expect it before, and I won't expect it from now on. ”

Ma Jia Yiqing smiled: "That's the best." ”

Ma Jia Yiqing took Ming Cheng's hand and left Yu Yun's dormitory, and as soon as she went out, she instructed Ming Cheng: "If you don't understand the rules so much, you should teach it well, don't lose the face of Zhong Cui Palace." In the future, keep an eye on her more, especially when the third elder brother comes to the palace to say goodbye, and the two of them must not meet. Now is different from the past, she has become a legitimate concubine in the emperor's harem, and she has been sleeping yesterday, so she must not have anything to do with the third elder brother. didn't have to drag down the third elder brother and ruin his future. ”

Ming Cheng immediately said: "Don't worry, Niangniang, Gardenia promised to live in Zhongcui Palace." Under the nose of the mother, she can't make big waves. ”

"Speaking of which, Gardenia Yun is strange. is so dignified, how could Concubine De give her up and send her to the emperor. Ma Jia Yiqing was still puzzled in her heart: "You go and inquire, does Concubine De know something." Gardenia Yun wants to climb high branches, and she always needs Concubine De to match. It is clear that there is no name of Gardenia on the list drawn up by the palace, and now Gardenia Yun and Chen's have agreed, Gardenia Yun has already taken the first step to sleep, and Chen's side should also start arranging. If there are no trusted concubines in the palace to help, it will not be very convenient for the palace to act. ”

As she spoke, Ma Jia sighed unconsciously: "This palace is not the person in the emperor's heart more than ten years ago. The title of the assistant sixth palace is still in my hand today, and I don't know who I will be there tomorrow. In addition to Concubine Yun in the palace, there are four concubines left. Although the palace has the right to associate the six palaces, after all, it will share this glory equally with Concubine Hui. Concubine Yi has never loved power, and only asks for the emperor's favor. But it's hard to say on Concubine De's side. ”

Gardenia Yun went to bed, after all, Ma Jia Yiqing had some concerns about Lan Xin. Lan Xin has been dormant by Tong Ruofei's side for so long, even Tong Ruofei is negligent and sincere to her, and now if Lan Xin asks for something, how can she not guard against it.

According to the rules, if there are newly promoted concubines in the palace, they all have to meet with the masters of each palace. Yunyue also remembered that she hadn't gotten together with the concubines for several days, so she arranged a troupe in Yongshou Palace on this day to let everyone have fun together.

On the patio outside the main hall, a stage was temporarily erected. The masters sat down separately according to their positions.

Yunyue sat in the center, on the left and right were Chunxi and Ma Jia Yiqing, on the other side of Chunxi was Lan Xin, and on the other side of Ma Jia Yiqing was Na La Yanhui.

In the second row, sitting in the middle is Tong Ruohua, who has just been promoted to a concubine, Jing Hao and Zhang Jia Chuzhen are sitting on both sides, and Du Ruo and Wan Liuhai Yiyi are sitting on both sides.

After the third row, they are seated one by one according to the position of nobles, always present, and promised.

Gardenia sat in the corner on the left, staring at the stage in a daze. She doesn't like to watch plays, in other words, she doesn't understand the deeper meaning of the play. I listened to a lot in a daze, but I only understood the skin. Whoever cried again, who smiled at whom, who lingered with whom, and who fought with whom.

Gradually, Gardenia Yun really couldn't listen to it anymore and became drowsy. The snow on her side gently patted her shoulder and reminded in a low voice: "Little master, drink some tea, wake up, don't fall asleep." ”

Gardenia Yun took the tea handed over by Lixue, took a sip, and complained in a low voice: "Alas, it's really nerve-wracking." ”

Li Xue almost didn't directly cover her little master's mouth, looked around and said to Gardenia's ear: "The little master has to endure it today, the concubine Niangniang invited everyone to come over to listen to the play, that is an honor." Even if the little master doesn't like it, don't show it, you don't have to annoy the concubine. ”

Gardenia pursed her lips and said very dissatisfied: "You see, even Concubine Yi yawns from time to time, and she doesn't like it, so she only cares about talking to the people next to her to relieve her boredom." ”

Li Xue persuaded again: "How can the little master be compared with Concubine Yi, Concubine Yi has never listened to the play, but if she can come over today, she will give the concubine enough face." The little lord has just been canonized, and he is the first one of the new little lords, how many people are staring at the words and deeds of the little master, so the little lord has to be cautious. ”

When Yu Yun heard this, she didn't feel anything, she just turned her head to look at Chen Liyuan who was sitting next to her?

is different from Gardenia, but Chen Liyuan beside her listens with relish.

As if sensing that someone was looking at her, Chen Liyuan also turned her head and met Yu Yun's eyes, and the two looked at each other and smiled. Gardenia immediately turned her head in embarrassment, staring at the stage in front of her, a little flustered, but she didn't know why.

The Chun Xi in the front row dozed off, occasionally gossiping with Yunyue and Lan Xin, and then drank tea to wake up. I didn't want to come over today, she really didn't have any interest in opera, but Yunyue said that she must be there today, at least she has to give her enough face, and she just happened to meet these newly canonized promises.

"What does my sister think of these rookies?" Chun Xi asked Lan Xin beside her.

Lan Xin said lightly: "Each has its own merits, and there are few people who are easy to get along with, I'm afraid that the palace will be chaotic again." ”

Hearing this, Chun Xi smiled jokingly: "Since some people are looking forward to the chaos in the palace, it is just that the fisherman will profit." As he spoke, his eyes looked to the other side of Yunyue.
