Chapter 7: Once you enter the palace, the gate is as deep as the sea
Today is the first day of Yonghe Palace, and I got up early. I was surprised that as soon as I opened my eyes, two little palace maids greeted me, and I said, "Where did you come from?" The two little palace maids heard me call them, and they looked back at me, and when I saw it, both girls were dressed in regular palace maid clothes and had small haircuts, one of them should be the same age as me, thirteen years old, and the other should be two years older than me, about fifteen years old. The two girls looked at each other and smiled, and the thirteen-year-old girl saluted and said, "The slave maid is called Meng Yao, and she is thirteen this year." I'm going to stay here with you in the future. "I smile heartily, it looks like I'm thirteen years old. Another girl saluted and said, "The slave's name is Zhengmei, and she is fourteen years old this year." The slave maid and Meng Yao were sent by Concubine De to help you. "I was so busy helping them that I couldn't stand the fact that people saluted me...... said: "Both of you are my sisters, so don't salute, let's call each other sisters, my name is Niu Hulu." Jasmine. In the future, Mo Yi will ask the two sisters for advice if there is anything she can't do well. The two of them were busy panicking, and Zhengmei said: "Don't say that, you are now the highest female official around Niangniang except for Sister Ruojun (Note 1), and the slaves and maids will never dare." I sat down on the bed casually and said, "All right, all right, whatever you want, as long as you don't want slaves to come to slaves." I'm a slave too, am I? It's better to call me sister in the future. I said this, and the two of them nodded. Zhengmei patted her head and said, "Oh, today is my sister's first day here, and it is said that I am going to visit Concubine De." Meng Yao also said: "Yes, sister, let's hurry up, Sister Zhengmei and I will help you pack your things." I nodded, the bottom of this flower pot is really uncomfortable, I washed my face, this hair ...... I sat in front of the mirror and stared at the big people in the mirror, Zhengmei saw that I had not combed my hair, and said tentatively, "Sister can't comb her hair?" I pouted and said, "Sister, help me comb it." Zhengmei and Mengyao snickered, and came over to help me comb my hair. Zhengmei said: "My sister's hair bun is really high, she must be a blessing." I laughed in my heart: No, Qianlong is my son~ I smiled and said nothing, Meng Yao said: "Sister can't do this, now my sister is back, let's teach you." I nodded and explained: "I fell my head a while ago, I don't remember many things, I don't understand the rules in the palace, and my two sisters teach me when they have time." The two nodded. After combing my hair, the two of them stood behind me and followed me, and I said embarrassedly: "Two sisters, let's go ahead, I'm afraid...... "Lost ...... Originally, although I often come to the Forbidden City, but the Forbidden City is so big, I can't remember it...... Zhengmei smiled and said, "Okay then." ”
Finally walked to the main courtyard of Yonghe Palace, as soon as I entered the door, the flowers full of flowers came into view, whether it was the main hall, or the east and west side halls, they were all magnificent, and the palace maid's room where I lived was much better. As I walked, I saw Concubine De and another concubine sitting in the pavilion talking and laughing, the concubine looked quite young, about twenty, Kangxi is really, they are all fifty, and they are all harming other little girls. Concubine De was close to a woman in her twenties, this should be the "Sister Ruojun" in Zhengmei's mouth, and there were all kinds of fresh fruits and tea on the table. I stepped forward and saluted, this salute...... No matter what, he went according to the Qing palace drama and said: "Slave Niu Hulu." Mo Yi, meet Niangniang, Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an. Before Concubine De could speak, the concubine chuckled and said, "Yo, you have never seen this ceremony, but my sister has found an interesting girl." Concubine De said lightly: "Get up and go to the palace." I nodded, and walked over slowly, why slowly? Because I'm afraid of falling, as a clean woman, I can't fall when I don't have anything to do with my brothers......, because no one will help me! Walking to Concubine De, just standing so stupidly, Concubine De took my hand, I was very flattered by her close action, she was one of Kangxi's four concubines, I looked at Ruojun, she smiled, signaling that I was fine, Concubine De said: "Mo Yi, let me introduce you, this is the concubine Niangniang (Note 2) of the east side hall, and she is also your master." I nodded and said, "The slave knows." "What? and concubine, isn't that the legendary concubine of Kangxi, who has a leg with Yongzheng...... Yaya, I also ran into her, and if I dare to have a leg with Yongzheng, I must not abide by women's morals...... I saluted and said, "Meet the concubine." "Get up, look at this appearance, it really makes the palace envious, no wonder the emperor asked you to wait for your sister, it seems that my sister is the most valued by the emperor." He Concubine took the handkerchief and said with a smile. Concubine De said politely: "What's the matter, my sister is still young and beautiful, and the emperor values it." But the corners of his eyes still couldn't hide that pride. I was bored and stood aside. I lowered my head and fiddled with the knife on the cuff, this is my magic weapon in the palace, I secretly stole it in the kitchen last night, use it for self-defense, haha...... A man of about sixteen or seventeen years old walked in from the main entrance, and Concubine De was about to call him, he made a "shhh He walked up behind me lightly, and I suddenly felt someone hugging me behind me, and subconsciously stabbed the knife "whoosh".
