On February 15 of the first year of Daxing, the sky showed a rare clarity after the rain, and in the blue sky, the big white clouds showed a variety of shapes, and the beautiful sky was decorated with a real and illusory appearance. A round of rising sun hangs high in the sky, and the gentle light spreads warmly, which is particularly nostalgic in this mid-spring season. At this time, the earth has all recovered, the flowers that are blooming unscrupulously compete for beauty, and the green and tender grass is also swaying and dancing unyieldingly, and it seems that they are not willing to become the foil of the flowers, and their graceful posture all reflect the charm of spring.

Yun Tian followed the eight show girls who entered the palace this time and were nobles in the same volume, and went to Fengyi Palace to greet Wang Ningxuan, the queen of the middle palace.

At that time, she was no longer Princess Anyang, she had a new identity: Xia Wanfeng's distant cousin, Yun Tian.

Since Xi Ze ascended the throne last year, at the end of October, Xi Ze registered Wang Ningxuan as the queen of the middle palace and welcomed him into Fengyi Palace, and canonized the concubines in the original palace and welcomed them into the palace. Thereinto:

Mu Xuehan, the concubine on the side of the book, was given the name "Ying", entered the Yonghe Palace, and occupied the main position;

Yao Shuangyu, the concubine on the side of the book, was given the name "Dan", and entered the Yanxi Palace and occupied the main position;

Shu Yuxiao is Ronghua, given the name "Lotus", and lives in Chuxiu Palace;

Qin Wan is a beauty and lives in Gyeongbokgung Palace.

On February 11 this year, among the important ministers who made meritorious contributions to King Yu's coup, two female dependents were selected to welcome the show girls into the harem on the fourth day before Yun Tian, namely:

Fu Ningyan, the eldest daughter of Fu Jingchuan, was a noble concubine, given the name "Xiang", entered the Fenghua Palace, and occupied the main position;

Wang Qinyao, the sister of King Ningxuan, was given the name "Li", and entered the Zhongcui Palace, occupying the main position.

And today, it is a big day for the new concubines to gather in Fengyi Palace to ask Wang Ningxuan for the first time, and the concubines dare not slack off. By the time Yun Tian followed the nobles to Fengyi Palace, all the other concubines had already arrived.

After a while, I saw the palace maid Shuying, the head of the middle palace, walking out of the Chaofeng Palace, facing the concubines in the courtyard, and said with a smile: "The queen mother announced that the concubines are here!" ”

So, everyone lined up in a neat line from high to low according to their own grades, and entered the Chaofeng Hall to ask Wang Ningxuan for peace: "The concubine asks for peace for the queen, and the queen is a thousand years old!" ”

Yun Qian leaned over behind everyone to say goodbye, raised his eyes slightly and looked forward, after a few months, Wang Ningxuan took off the subtlety of being a princess Gong in the past, and was even more dignified, the delicate face, charming and noble, beautiful and graceful, is really extremely commensurate with her identity as the queen of the middle palace. I saw her bend her eyebrows slightly, with a smile in her eyes, and said kindly: "Sisters, get up quickly and give me a seat!" ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother!"

Yun Tian followed everyone to get up and sit down, and then, he saw Wang Ningxuan and Yan Yue said: "The emperor is gracious to all directions, and now he has ascended to the unification and welcomed all the sisters to the palace, this is a great favor, and the sisters must know how to cherish the blessings." Before you entered the palace, the palace had sent Aunt Xi to teach you the basic etiquette of the palace, and now you are officially concubines when you enter the palace! As the lord of the harem, the palace also had to ask the sisters a few words, the political affairs of the previous dynasty were complicated, and the emperor had all the opportunities, so that as a woman, he was not allowed to interfere in politics, and he could not solve problems for the emperor in the previous dynasty, so he had to abide by the concubine etiquette, serve the emperor wholeheartedly in the harem, and not make trouble to make the emperor worried. ”

When everyone heard this, they all stood up and said respectfully: "The concubine obeys the teachings of the queen!" ”

Wang Ningxuan nodded with satisfaction: "Sit down!" Then he introduced to everyone, "Although the emperor canonized a total of ten younger sisters into the palace this time, when the emperor was King Gong, there were not many sisters serving in the palace, namely Ying Gui Concubine, Dan Gui Concubine, Lian Ronghua and Qin Meiren. ”

Yun Tian quickly swept away when she heard this, and when she lived in Taoyao in Prince Gong's Mansion, in order to avoid secrecy, she was rarely discharged from the hospital, so except for the noble concubine Mu Xuehan, she had never seen anyone else. This Mu Xuehan she had only seen in the Chengguang Palace, that bright and bright woman like a begonia, on the day the emperor gave her and Xi Ze a wedding, she couldn't help but show the shyness, which still makes Yun Tian deeply unforgettable. However, in the end, she has been Xi Ze's wife and concubine for several months, and now she has sealed the matter of the noble concubine in charge of the first palace, she has retreated from the shyness at the beginning, and now goodbye, this Mu Xuehan is quite dignified and calm, but after all, Yun Qian did not dare to intersect with her gaze too much, after a short glance, she quickly looked away, bowed her head slightly, and it was too late to look at the other three concubines.

At this moment, as soon as Wang Ningxuan's voice fell, the four of them got up together and saluted Fu Ningyan and Concubine Li. This Mu Xuehan didn't seem to see Yun Tilt, and Yun Tilt couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

Afterwards, Yun Tian followed the seven nobles to greet the other concubines one by one. This time, Yun Tian buried her head low, although she knew that she would never be able to escape, and she still had to contact Mu Xuehan head-on after all, but at this moment, she didn't want Mu Xuehan to expose her true identity in public, so she couldn't help but get nervous.

However, after all, she still couldn't escape Mu Xuehan's keen eyes.

I only heard her exclaim, "You...... How are you? Aren't you gone? Didn't you see the hell in the daytime! Say quickly, are you a human or a ghost? How did it suddenly appear here? ”

When everyone heard this, they all turned their eyes to Yun Tilt, and Yun Tilt buried his head more and more low, very nervous, but he didn't dare to show the slightest sense of nervousness on his face.

Just when she didn't know how to deal with it, she heard Wang Ningxuan suddenly purse her lips and said faintly: "Ying Guifei, who have you seen to be so out of shape?" ”

When Mu Xuehan heard this, she hurriedly got up, pointed at Yun Tianyan and said to Wang Ningxuan: "Niangniang, look at it, that ...... Isn't that the princess of Anyang, who was personally crowned by the emperor? The concubine can't be wrong, this appearance can't be wrong at all......"

As soon as these words came out, all four were shocked. All of a sudden, everyone whispered.

Wang Ningxuan's expression remained unchanged, as if she was in control, she looked at the concubines below coldly, interrupted everyone's speculation in a cold voice, and said unhurriedly: "Ying Gui Concubine, the sisters of the palace are all here, you are the lord of the first palace, but you have to see clearly before speaking, don't let the sisters misunderstand!" Princess Anyang, who was crowned by the emperor, died in July last year, which is a well-known thing, how could she come back from the dead and appear in front of everyone? Besides, she was given to others by the emperor a long time ago, how can she appear in the queue of concubines, if this is spread out, where do you let the emperor's face go? You have to take a closer look, this sister is indeed a little similar to the immortal Princess Anyang, but in the end it is not the same person, she is Xia Shangshu's distant cousin Yun Guiren! ”

Yun Tian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard this, she looked at Wang Ningxuan with great gratitude, relaxed her posture, and knelt calmly among the nobles.

On the other side, Mu Xuehan heard that although she was sure that she would not be mistaken, however, Wang Ningxuan had already moved out of Xi Ze to pressure her, it seemed that she had protected Yun Tian, so she couldn't refer to the deer as a horse, so she had to open her eyes and close her eyes perfunctorily: "What Niang Niang said is that it was the concubine who saw it wrong!" However, this Yun Guiren is indeed six or seven points similar to the immortal Princess Anyang, which is also her creation! ”

When everyone heard her say this, although they were still a little suspicious, they didn't dare to make a mistake and were silent.

Seeing this, Wang Ningxuan said to the nobles who were still kneeling below: "All the sisters, get up!" ”

Everyone got up according to their words, and at this moment, a slightly cold voice suddenly came from outside the hall: "Today, the newly canonized concubines gathered in the middle palace to ask for peace, why didn't anyone inform me?" ”

Yun tilted his head and looked, and the person who came was Shen Luyi.

Since the change of the old palace last year, this is the first time that Yun Tian has seen Shen Luyi. She never thought that Shen Luyi, who was good with King Yu, would love Xi Ze deeply, and now, she appeared in the middle palace again, Yun Tian saw that there was a strong sense of crisis in her eyes, after all, what she did for Xi Ze was far beyond her reach.

Just when the clouds were pouring into their hearts, Concubine Li's charming voice slowly came with a hint of disdain: "Yo, who does this palace think it is, it turns out to be the county lord of Duanyi!" Today, the harem concubines are all here to say hello to my sister, you are the county lord, not the little lord, what are you doing to join in the fun? The emperor hasn't canonized you yet, what kind of concubine shelf? ”

Wang Ningxuan frowned unhappily when he heard this: "Qin Yao, you don't say a word!" ”

"Sister, am I wrong?" Concubine Li hurriedly argued, "The emperor really didn't canonize her, and he also let you ......"

"Enough!" Wang Ningxuan interrupted, "In the palace, you should call yourself a 'concubine', not 'me'!" If you don't even understand this minimum court etiquette, then the palace will send another aunt to teach you in your good life, so as not to make people laugh in the future! ”

Looking at Wang Ningxuan's strict eyes, Concubine Li closed her mouth unconvinced.

However, Shen Luyi, who was standing in the center, had a slight change in face at this moment: "Why didn't Niangniang let her finish her words?" What else did the emperor order? ”

Wang Ningxuan didn't answer Shen Luyi's question, she gestured to Shuying, and Shuying understood, and immediately presented an excerpt. Wang Ningxuan took the fold from Shuying's hand, handed it to Shen Luyi, and said with a pleasant face, "Green, the contents of this fold have been copied to the emperor by the palace, the emperor should not have made a decision so quickly, you go to see the emperor today, maybe it's still too late!" ”

Shen Luyi took the book suspiciously, opened it and looked at it carefully, it was written that it was actually a candidate for her marriage, and all of them were extremely detailed in terms of identity and family history. In an instant, Shen Luyi's face was as white as paper, almost transparent. If it weren't for the presence of all the concubines, she would have tore the fold to shreds in no time. She closed the fold and asked calmly, "Why is his name the first to be written on this fold?" ”

Wang Ningxuan replied lightly: "It was he who begged the palace to put his name first!" ”

When Shen Luyi heard this, he was instantly annoyed, at this juncture, what did he make a mess? Wouldn't he add insult to injury if he put his name first? However, all the concubines were there, how could she let everyone see her jokes, so she had to try to restrain the anger in her heart, return the excerpt to Wang Ningxuan, and after a shallow blessing, she turned around and quickly left Chaofeng Palace.

Yun tilted his head at the back of Shen Luyi who left in a hurry, surprised, all the concubines whispered continuously, and the first to ask was Fu Ningyan: "Niangniang, what is written on the fold?" The Lord of Duanyi seems to have been stimulated a lot! ”

It's a pity that Wang Ningxuan didn't answer positively, but just waved his hand impatiently to stop: "This palace is lacking, don't ask again!" The Queen Mother has been sick recently, I am afraid that it will take a few days to summon all the sisters, then, the Queen Mother issued a decree to summon, and the palace will lead everyone to Shou'an Palace to meet the Queen Mother, let's go here today, you should go back to the palace to rest early! Then he turned his head to Shuying and said, "Shuying, arrange for someone to bring the eight nobles who have just entered the palace to their respective residences, there must be no mistake!" ”

Shuying immediately replied "yes".

Helpless, Yun Tian had to get up and kneel with everyone.
