Chapter Seventy-Nine: Yanxi Palace
On the first day of the fifth month, Yunxi got up early, not because she was excited, not because she was full of expectations, but because she didn't dare to offend the people in the palace, so as to leave a bad impression on the Empress Dowager and others.
Ma Jiashi and the others, no, it should be said that the entire Suojuluo Mansion got up early, whether it was true or not, everyone who should have been present was present, including the Shu Mulu clan who was clamoring to die with Yunxi a few days ago.
The makeup that the house took care of for her was very rich, and the silver that should be given was not stingy at all, and the clothes and jewelry were not only the original ones, but also took the time to make a batch of new ones for her. As for the candidates to accompany them into the palace, as before, in addition to Mama Xu, there are also two big girls, Green Sleeves and Green Pothos.
Mama Xu didn't say it first, just the green sleeves and pothos, which served her since she was a child, and she was loyal.
No matter what Yunxi thinks in his heart, he still bids farewell to his family according to the rules.
Seeing that the sky was slightly brightened, someone from the concierge informed that the palanquin sent by the Internal Affairs Office to pick up people had arrived at the door. A room of people immediately got up and walked out in the huddle of Yunxi.
may be because Yunxi entered the palace is the relationship between nobles, and the people in the Internal Affairs Office are quite polite, and the pomp and circumstance are also magnificent, at least not the kind of casual sedan chair that quietly carries people away.
Before Yun Qi went back to the house to make a fuss, just to save face in Yunxi and balance her inner unwillingness, but who wants to get used to her!
No, Yunxi's slap, Ma Jia's sentence of 'focusing on her husband's family' directly classified her outside the Suo Yuluo family, even if Shu Mulu's heart complained, but the current Suo Yuluo family is no longer her turn to take the idea, and the second room is thriving because of the relationship between Yunxi and Alhatu, and the weak appearance of respecting the big house in the past will no longer be respected.
There is no way, Shu Mulu finally coaxed Yun Qi away, as for what the mother and daughter said in private, that is their mother and daughter's business, anyway, whether it is Ma Jia's family or Yunxi, no one cares what they think in their hearts.
If Shu Mulu's family is smart enough, there may still be a place for her in this mansion, and if she continues to accompany Yun Qi to toss, it may really be a sedan chair that will send her directly to the family temple in the future.
Bidding farewell to everyone in the house, Yunxi touched Anahuzhan's head before getting into the sedan chair, but he didn't say anything with tears in his eyes, and then looked at him deeply, and turned around and got into the sedan chair.
is different from walking on two feet alone during the draft, Yunxi, who is sitting in a sedan chair at this time, is also a little apprehensive in his heart, and he doesn't know which palace he will be assigned to in the end.
When the sedan chair stopped, Mama Xu helped Yunxi out and said in a low voice: "Gege, this is Yanxi Palace!"
Yunxi glanced up at the palace gate of Yanxi Palace, and before she could speak, she saw a eunuch in his thirties wearing a seven-grade eunuch uniform greet her, "Slave Wang Gui, please say hello to your nobleman." ”
"Youlao has been waiting for a long time. Yunxi smiled politely.
At this time, the sky was bright, and the sun shone on people through the layers of palace walls, which was warm and extremely comfortable, but Yunxi himself couldn't feel any warmth.
The main seat of Yanxi Palace is Rong Concubine Ma Jia's family, and she is really related to her Mama. It's just that there isn't much contact between the two families, so it can be seen that she will be assigned here, which actually has nothing to do with her Mama. Of course, it may be that she Ma Jiashi thought of another way to ask for this grace for her, after all, sometimes, as long as there are enough interests, it is actually the same whether she is a relative or not.
Yunxi originally didn't want to have anything to do with Concubine Rong, even if she is no longer the favor of her early years, but Yunxi believes that as long as she still has a trace of wanting to be favored in her heart, then they are destined to be enemies. Since it is destined to become an enemy, then don't talk about kinship and sisterhood, and it is most appropriate to deal with it calmly.
Yun Xi thought in his heart, took Mama Xu's hand and walked straight to the threshold of Yanxi Palace, and walked straight to the main hall.
Yanxi Palace before and after two into the courtyard, the front yard of the main hall five, with the hall east and west each three rooms, the yellow glazed tile on the top of the mountain, under the eaves Shi single warped single ang five step on the bucket, dragon and phoenix and the seal color painting. The front and rear eaves of the bright room open the door, the second room, the tip between are the sill wall, the sill window, the door and window adopt the double cross four rhombic flower fan type, the palace is tall and wide, majestic and gorgeous.
Rong Concubine Ma Jiashi, the daughter of the five-grade member Wailang. Her family lineage is not outstanding among many concubines, but she is one of the first concubines to serve Kangxi, with profound qualifications and a lot of births. It's a pity that there are more births and more deaths, and now there are only two survivors, the third elder brother and the second princess.
Probably because of the frequent births and rearing, and it may also include a series of blows such as the loss of children and daughters, Concubine Rong looks older than her actual age. Even if the makeup on her face is delicate at the moment, it can't hide the fine lines on the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. However, Concubine Rong's foundation is good, her facial features are delicate and soft, and her temperament is very good, and she is also a rare beauty when she is young.
It's just that whoever does things with sex, loves relaxation when the color declines, and loves relaxation is gracious, this is probably the fate of all women in the palace, Rong Concubine can't be exempt from vulgarity, other women in the palace can't be exempt from vulgarity, and Yunxi can't think of herself.
Yunxi came back to his senses, and saw Concubine Rong sitting in the armchair, Yunxi Lian moved lightly, took a few steps forward, and made a blessing to her, "Concubine Suo Yuluo asks for Niangniang's greetings." ”
Concubine Rong glanced at Yunxi a few times with a gentle face, and at the same time a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, she hurriedly raised her hand and said, "No need to be polite." I heard people in the palace talk about a few stunning beauties in this draft, and when I saw my sister at this time, it was true. ”
Yunxi's expression froze, and because of Concubine Rong's words, she was a little unsure of Concubine Rong's attitude towards herself?
To say that Concubine Rong's posture is also gentle, but the words she said were tingled, which ......
"The nobleman is really a good color. "A woman in a blue-green flag costume next to Concubine Rong looks like she is twenty-four or five, she looks delicate, and she seems to be a concubine when she looks at her makeup. But the tone of this speech was more sour than that of Concubine Rong.
Yunxi couldn't cry or laugh for a while, but she made a frightened expression on her face: "Niangniang said that she laughed, Niangniang's fairy and jade appearance, how can she be compared with a concubine, but this ...... next to Niangniang"
Concubine Rong was praised a few times, but she didn't speak sour words like before, and chuckled: "This is Concubine Li Shu who lives in the West Side Palace." ”
"Sister Li, hello. Concubine Rong didn't introduce it carefully, and Yunxi didn't dare to take it.
In fact, there are not many concubines in the palace, except for the concubine Tong Jiashi and Niu Colu concubine, there are also concubines Ma Jia, Hui Concubine Nala, Concubine Hesheri, Jing Concubine Wang Jia, An Concubine Li and Duan Concubine Dong's seven concubines, not to mention the concubines of low positions such as nobles, Chang Zai, and promises, the others are concubines.
There are many concubines in the palace, half of them are from humble families and half of them are from good families, the former is the majority, and most of them are easily forgotten by the emperor, and the latter, involving the decision of the court, is not easy to decide, so they will be put aside first, and then sealed in the next day. It can be seen that although the identity of the concubine is not clear, the activity is not small. In the case that you can't guarantee that you will always be superior, it is still necessary to be a little more polite.
Although this Concubine Li Shu could clearly see that it was the former from her dress, Yunxi did not dare to underestimate anyone in the palace.
"Your Excellency is well. Seeing that Yunxi was polite, Concubine Li couldn't help but smile and hurriedly returned a Wanfu ceremony.
Seeing this, Concubine Rong nodded secretly, it was one thing for her to take care of the arrangements in the clan, and it was another thing to be jealous of Yunxi's beauty, but these would not be her reasons for targeting Yunxi.
There are three thousand beauties in the harem, those who are favored, those who are not favored, when it comes to beauty, it is really more outstanding than one another, if she really makes a move because of a little jealousy, then it is not her turn to be the master of this palace with her family background is not outstanding.
"Okay, you will all live in Yanxi Palace in the future, and there will be more opportunities to get close in the future. Today, Sister Suo Yuluo has just entered the palace, and she must be tired, so you will have a good rest today, and I will take you to the palaces to meet you tomorrow. Concubine Rong said with a smile.
"Thank you for taking care of me. Yunxi once again gave Concubine Rong a blessing.
Concubine Rong waved her hand, signaling her not to be too polite, and then said: "The people sent by the Internal Affairs Office are waiting in the East Side Palace, you can go and see for yourself." ”
Yunxi ignored the envy in Concubine Li's eyes, said politely, and followed Wang Gui, who led her in, out.
This Concubine Li Shu is really a little childish, and her words and actions are not atmospheric, but judging from this first meeting, Yanxi Palace looks quite clean, listening to Wang Gui's meaning, in the entire Yanxi Palace, except for the main concubine, Concubine Zhang Shu and Yu agreed, there is only her, a new nobleman.
It is good to have fewer people, and there are fewer people and less controversy, which is undoubtedly a blessing for Yunxi, who has just entered the court.
When he arrived at the East Side Hall, Yunxi went in and saw two palace maids and four eunuchs waiting on both sides of the door. According to the nobleman's rule, she should have four palace maids to wait, but because she brought green sleeves and pothos, the number naturally decreased by two. No matter what the reason, as long as it is not a bird, Yunxi does not want to get to the bottom of it.
"Greetings to the nobles, the nobles are blessed with peace. As soon as the two palace maids and the four eunuchs saw Yunxi, they knelt down in unison and greeted her in unison.
Yunxi glanced at it and asked in a light tone, "What are your names?"
When Wang Gui on the side heard this, he hurriedly pointed to Yunxi one by one, two palace maids, the older one is eighteen years old, called Qiaoying, and the younger one is called Lu Fu, who is sixteen years old, and it is very suitable to stay by her side when she hears the name. Both of them were elected to the palace at the age of twelve or thirteen, so they can be regarded as old seniority in the palace.
The four eunuchs, the oldest in his early thirties, was named Wang Quanan, two seventeen or eighteen years old, named Li Cheng and Yu Qinghe, and one was childish, only thirteen or fourteen years old, named Liu Xi.
Yunxi nodded, carefully wrote down the name, and said to Wang Gui with a smile: "I'm tired of the prince today." As he spoke, his eyes swept over the green sleeves on the side.
