Chapter 81: Visits to the Palaces (1)
Since Mama Xu agreed to accompany Yunxi into the palace, she found a time to contact the old sisters from before, whether they are out of the palace or continue to stay in the palace, it is always right to contact more feelings.
People like them, whether they choose to leave the palace or choose to continue to stay in the palace, most of them either have no relatives or can't go back to their homes, in order to survive, they often form small groups one after another, help each other, and achieve the purpose of coexistence.
Mama Xu's return to the palace may be a bit unexpected by others, but they all belong to the same group, and the news is all exchanged, as long as it does not violate the oath made at the beginning, it can be told to her.
It is no secret that the Empress Dowager dislikes Wei Changzai, who was born in Xinzhiku, and Wuya, who was born as a palace woman, after all, because of Wei Changzai's relationship, the Empress Dowager even neglected Hui Concubine, which shows how deeply the Empress Dowager dislikes Wei Changzai. Moreover, in addition to Yunxi in this draft, except for some of the five flags under the upper three banners, those who have long been named, and those who have been selected are all show girls with outstanding colors, although the number is not large, but they can get a glimpse of one or two.
Mama Xu waited for Yunxi to finish eating, and Green Sleeves hurriedly brought the brewed tea over and handed it to Yunxi's hand. Yunxi took the tea cup, opened the tea lid, sniffed it lightly, and the faint fragrance of tea lingered in his nose, making people unconsciously relax: "This tea is brewed well." ”
"Back to the nobleman's words, this tea was brewed by Wang Quanan. Greensleeves replied honestly.
"Wang Quan'an? Since he has a good soak, then leave this errand to him!" As soon as Yunxi said this, Green Sleeves and Green Pothos glanced at each other, and then nodded.
Don't look at this job of making tea, it seems simple, but it is still difficult to reach if you are not a trusted person. Yunxi took the initiative to mention that Wang Quanan was responsible for making tea this time, but he didn't use this to test his meaning.
The various forces in the palace are intertwined, Yunxi is a latecomer, and if he wants to insert a foot in it, it is not possible to have no backer, but it is even more difficult to have no manpower. Backer or something, who can find it for a while, and even if it is found, it is one thing whether the other party is willing to give the thigh hug. In order not to be a bird and not to be cannon fodder in the eyes of others, Yunxi naturally had to accumulate strength first, and this person who was sent to her by the Ministry of Internal Affairs became her opportunity.
Does she need people?
It is not appropriate to bribe other people's people to do things for themselves, so they can only choose to train their own people.
Although the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace all have regulations, not all of them have masters. In order to ensure the wealth or safety of the family, the nobles of the family sent not only their daughters to this Forbidden City, but also eyeliner and dark piles. Because of this, Yunxi will pick Mama Xu and enter the palace with green sleeves and pothos.
She doesn't want her henchmen to be someone else's eyeliner or a secret stake, she just needs to make sure that the people closest to her are her own people, then she can let go of her hands and feet to do other things.
Even if she has no intention of fighting for the glory of the Suoyuluo clan, it does not mean that she is willing to be trampled underfoot. It can be said that she suffered too much in the previous life, and although she still can't control her fate in this life, as long as there is a choice, she will not give up easily.
Mama Xu listened to Yunxi's arrangement, and nodded secretly in her heart, obviously she agreed with Yunxi's arrangement.
These eunuchs and palace maids have their own origins, whether they are degraded for crimes or helpless, or they work hard to fight, they are not terrible, what is terrible is that these people are not pure-hearted. In order to avoid being calculated, observation and temptation are essential, and the premise of getting answers is to give these people a chance.
"Noble, other people's errands ......" Mama Xu asked softly.
"Mama looked at the arrangement. Yunxi listened to her words, and the moment he raised his head, he raised a delicate smile and said softly.
When the newcomer entered the palace, the green head card was not made so quickly, and Yunxi naturally did not need to sleep, so on the first day of entering the palace, Yunxi was quite comfortable.
A good night's sleep, early in the morning, Yunxi freshened up and went to the main hall to greet Concubine Rong.
Concubine Rong is the lord of the first palace, it is naturally a matter of duty for Yunxi to ask for peace, and yesterday Concubine Rong also said that she would take her to the palaces to meet today, no matter what Yunxi thinks in her heart, she has to put on a grateful face and go to the palaces with Concubine Rong to meet her.
Now the highest position in the palace is Tong Jia's family in Jingren Palace, who is the emperor's cousin, even the Niu Colu family of Yongshou Palace also enjoys the courtesy of the concubine, but the status of the two seems to be equal, but there is also a difference between high and low.
Yanxi Palace is in the west of Jingren Palace, and the road is very close, so it didn't take too much time for the two of them to arrive. I thought that they were close, and they should be the first to visit, but as soon as they arrived, they saw someone leaving from Jingren Palace from a distance.
"It looks like someone came before us. Concubine Rong looked at the departing palace concubine and smiled faintly.
Yunxi glanced at it, although she didn't know the other party, but from the other party's dress, it was not difficult to see that the other party's purpose was the same as theirs, and the young palace concubine must be a newcomer who had just entered the palace like her.
After the draft, Ma Jia's family asked people to inquire about the results of the draft, like Hesheri's, not only everyone stared at it, but the palace was not easy to arrange at will, and finally I heard that it was a concubine who entered the palace, and like Yunxi, it seems that only Yuan Guiren of the Han Army Banner was canonized.
Yunxi looked at the departing figure, guessing that the other party was undoubtedly Yuan Guiren, after all, no matter how low the status was, there was no need to come to visit, as for the one next to her, she didn't know that it was the concubine.
"Alright, we should go in too. Concubine Rong greeted her, and Yunxi was immediately invited into Jingren Palace with Concubine Rong.
Although Jingren Palace is adjacent to Yanxi Palace, and the specifications of the palace are similar, the interior of Jingren Palace is really more luxurious than Yanxi Palace.
Concubine Tong was the palace that Kangxi entered in the twelfth year, and she was also a concubine when she first entered the court, and she was not registered as a concubine until the sixteenth year of Kangxi, and now she is only nineteen years old. It's just that I don't know what Concubine Tong thinks, she is dressed very old, with heavy makeup on her face and her head full of pearls, which makes her whole person look a few years older, not to mention how old she is, even this appearance makes people a little unclear. However, judging from the outline, even if it is not a stunning beauty, it should be a small jasper. However, the palace concubine standing next to Concubine Tong was dressed plainly and her makeup was just right, Yunxi looked at it coldly, and felt that this one was more outstanding than Concubine Tong's dress.
This comparison, this scheming, I'm afraid it's not something ordinary people can have......
"The concubine Niangniang, the concubine brought the new Suo Yuluo nobles to the palace to greet you. As soon as Yunxi saw Concubine Rong come forward to see Wanfu, she immediately followed.
Concubine Tong glanced at Yunxi's face, and a trace of complexity flashed in her eyes: "I didn't expect that in this world of drafts, they are all stunningly beautiful, there is Yuan Guiren in the front who is charming and lovely, and there is Suo Yuluo in the back, and this harem is really full of flowers!"
Seeing this, Yunxi hurriedly said: "The concubine has won the prize." ”
Concubine Tong pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes lightly glanced at the woman standing beside her, and her tone was slightly sarcastic, "This palace only says that the appearance of the Wei clan in this harem is stunning, and the Wu Ya clan is gentle and delicate, now look at it, the appearance of the new sisters is also more beautiful than the other!"
When Yunxi heard this, he was slightly stunned in his heart, but he didn't expect that this seemingly gentle and moving woman was actually a Wuya nobleman who gave birth to the fourth elder brother Yinzhen. No wonder Concubine Tong's words are sour, her words are sarcastic, and her words are still provocative, thinking that Concubine Tong is not just targeting Yunxi, but all the beautiful palace concubines in this harem, which can also be said to be favored and likely to be favored.
"The concubine is too polite, Sister Wuya was single-handedly promoted by the concubine, and Sister Wuya can get the holy favor, which means that the concubine has a vision. Concubine Rong spoke suddenly, her tone was light and calm, but the words she said were very slapping in the face.
Sure enough, as soon as Concubine Tong heard this, most of the smile on her face instantly disappeared, and there was even a hint of anger between her eyebrows. At this moment, the noble Wuya beside her said with a smile: "Sister Rong Concubine said that she was laughing, the noble concubine was just looking at Suo Yuluo's delicate and lovely person, and made a few jokes." ”
Concubine Tong Guifei got down the stairs, her face was slightly gloomy, and then she motioned to the palace people to bring the reward up, "Suo Guiluo is young and delicate, so you should dress up more." ”
Yunxi glanced at the Wuya nobleman with a gentle and petty face, and was secretly vigilant in his heart, he could still coax Concubine Tong into a daze at this time, no wonder this Wuya nobleman would become the final victor in the end. The moment he lowered his head, he glanced at the open brocade box and the pair of white jade bracelets inside, Yun Xi secretly said in his heart, it seems that this Concubine Tong not only likes gorgeous and extravagant dresses, but also has a very generous shot!
"Thank you for the reward. Yunxi thanked him and took the brocade box with both hands, but there was not much expression on his face.
Concubine Tong didn't know if she was angry just now, or if she didn't want to continue to face them, so she just said a word and let them retreat.
Concubine Rong was also interested, so she walked out with Yunxi directly, not staying at all, it can be seen from here that Concubine Tong, the concubine, is not very popular!
Fortunately, Concubine Tong is not in the middle palace, Yunxi and the others do not need to ask for peace every day, otherwise, with Concubine Tong's temperament, I am afraid that she will have to toss once she sees her, and her means are really rough. It's that Wuya nobleman, whose mental means are more than a little higher than that of Concubine Tong, such a person, if it's not right, it's okay, once it's right, I'm afraid it's very difficult to deal with!
Concubine Rong saw that Yunxi had not spoken, and thought that she was worried in her heart, so she couldn't help reminding: "You don't have to be nervous, although the noble concubine Niangniang has a noble status, and the emperor does often go to Jingren Palace, but the number of times she stays in Jingren Palace is not much." ”
