Chapter 4. Enter the palace
According to the recipe in his memory, An Lingrong made a small box of goose pear tent incense.
This incense was originally made by Emperor Zhou E, lost for a long time, in her previous life she was decommissioned several times to be worthy of this ancient recipe, the emperor had praised her for this incense.
An Lingrong asked Dill to take this incense to the Treasure Pavilion to sell, and if someone who knows the goods knows it, it will definitely be able to sell it at a high price.
"Miss, there is news from the Treasure Pavilion that the incense was sold for five hundred taels, and the shopkeeper took three hundred percent of the profit, and the remaining three hundred and fifty taels were the profits of the young lady." Dill walked in from outside with a silver ticket, "The little guy outside said that the shopkeeper has explained to him, if the young lady has other incense to sell during this time, you can send him to run errands, don't look for another house." ”
An Lingrong smiled and took out another box of condensing incense: "In two days, the aunt in the palace will come, and there are not many incense that can be sold, so it will be these two days." ”
Dill should be, go out and spread the word.
An Lingrong put away the silver ticket, and his heart was a little more stable.
If you hold money in your hands, you can have more confidence.
But there's more to it!
An Lingrong counted the days, in his previous life, he was in the palace on September 15, but now it is only twenty days, and the time is urgent.
The formula of condensation incense is common, even if you don't give it, with the nose of the perfumer, you can figure it out after a long time, An Lingrong simply packaged the recipe and sold it to the Treasure Pavilion.
This came and went, and An Lingrong received thousands of taels.
She changed the entire amount of silver tickets and pressed them at the bottom of the box, and bought the luggage to be brought into the palace, and prepared a small box of silver as a reward.
In addition, Aunt Xiao was given an additional reward, and this money was not taken into the public account, so Aunt Xiao could naturally be included in her own small treasury.
"Everything in the family depends on my aunt in the future, if my aunt does well, there will be more money like this in the future." An Lingrong alerted Aunt Xiao and said.
In the past few days, Aunt Xiao has seen that this eldest lady in her family is very capable, and she will be able to fly on the branches in the palace in the future. ”
An Lingrong nodded, satisfied with Aunt Xiao's knowledge.
In the blink of an eye, a eunuch came to the palace to announce the decree.
Because An Lingrong's family is not in the capital, the eunuchs who announced the decree were also divided into two ways, and the one who came to Qingfeng Yuan at this time was the eunuch of Ouchi.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said, Songyang County Cheng An Bihuai girl, An Lingrong, sealed as the seventh product promised, on September 15, Qin this."
"Thank you, Emperor Longen."
In this life, An Lingrong did not live in Zhen's Mansion, and naturally she was not taught by Fang Ruo with Zhen Huan, but the aunt who came to teach her etiquette was also an acquaintance.
"Slave Fenruo, I've seen the little master." Fenruo stepped forward and saluted.
"Auntie is well." An Lingrong also returned the salute.
The eunuch who announced the decree had a smile on his face and nodded approvingly: "Aunt Fenruo has always been only responsible for the emperor's internal affairs, and rarely shows up, but this time the emperor appointed her to teach the little master." The little lord is a blessing. ”
"If you have a hard run, it's better to sit down and drink tea outside." An Lingrong motioned for dill to give a reward.
The eunuch took the purse and touched it, and was satisfied: "No, it's better to hurry up and go to the next house." ”
"That being the case, I won't keep my father-in-law much. Father-in-law walks slowly. An Lingrong stopped.
Sending off the eunuchs, An Lingrong arranged Fen Ruo in the west wing, and began to teach etiquette in the afternoon of the same day.
With the foreshadowing of her previous life, An Lingrong learned quickly, and Fen Ruo praised her for her intelligence from time to time, which not only saved a lot of time, but also got close to Fen Ruo.
She already knew about the situation in the palace, so An Lingrong didn't ask more questions in this life, but when it came to the queen, Fen Ruo always wanted to say something.
"Little master, when you enter the palace, don't trust anyone easily, including the queen." Fen Ruo frowned, and when she talked about the two queens, her expressions were completely different, "If it weren't for the glory of the Ulanala clan back then, the queen mother might not be willing to let her sit on the back seat." ”
An Lingrong was slightly stunned: "Why did my aunt tell me this?" "She's just a newcomer who has just been selected into the palace, and Fen Ruo can't help but be a little shallow and profound.
"The voice of the little master reminded the slave maid of the old man." There seemed to be water flashing in Fen Ruo's eyes, "When the palace was selected, the slave maid was serving behind, and suddenly heard the voice of the little master, and in a trance I thought it was Queen Chunyuan who had returned." ”
An Lingrong was stunned, wondering why Dao Fenruo suddenly appeared by her side in this life, it turned out that it was because her performance was too prominent in the palace election.
"Auntie, tell me about Queen Chunyuan." She may be the key to my favor in the future. An Lingrong's eyes flashed slightly.
Fen Ruo talked to her about Chunyuan's past, and An Lingrong was fascinated by it.
After listening to it a lot, it really made her find some details that could be used by her.
Time passed in a flash, and soon it was the day to enter the palace.
As soon as the sky was bright, the sedan chair in the palace stopped at the door of Qingfeng Garden, An Lingrong arranged everything and slowly sat on the sedan chair, dill and cardamom followed on both sides of the sedan chair, and the luggage was sent to the palace a day in advance.
The sedan chair slowly walked away, and a figure walked out of the courtyard next to Qingfeng Garden, looking at the direction in which the sedan chair disappeared.
Mr. Ji walked out and stood behind Ji He: "She is not something you can delusional, I haven't stopped you from looking at her quietly in the past few days, it is already my greatest grace, next to me, you are not allowed to think about it anymore." ”
"Father, I know." Ji He smiled bitterly.
When he came back from writing a letter to his family that day, all he was haunted by was her voice, every word, which was obviously just a family letter, but it was hooked in his heart like a hook.
He snooped quietly, carefully, and occasionally saw her side face, or fingers, and could be so happy that he couldn't sleep all night, or, at the end of the day, he couldn't see anything, and only listened to her voice, and he was happy.
It's just that he can only hide this feeling quietly, maybe she will never know that there was someone who was happy with her.
"Father, in the next scientific examination, I vow to be on the list."
An Lingrong would never know that Ji He, who had never even met in person back then, would do her a great favor in the future.
Leave it at ease.
Seeing that Miyagi was getting closer and closer, An Lingrong was also a little nervous, and pinched his hands, his palms were full of sweat.
She kept reassuring herself that this time was different from the past, this life was different from the previous life, everything was different, and this time, she could control her own destiny.
The sedan chair fell to the ground, dill lifted the sedan curtain, and helped An Ling to come down.
Immediately afterwards, the sedan chairs of the Zhen family and the Shen family also arrived, and Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang walked down on their feet.
As soon as they got off the sedan chair, the two looked at each other affectionately and smiled, and they smiled decently at An Lingrong.
Goodbye to the two of them, An Lingrong had mixed feelings in his heart, but he still had to smile appropriately.
"Greetings to the little master, the little lord is auspicious."
An Lingrong looked up at the high palace gate, remembering her previous life, she recklessly questioned why she wanted to go to the side gate of Shunzhen Gate, but was told by the eunuch that "only the queen of the Qing Dynasty can go to the main gate", and the embarrassment of that moment made her feel ashamed.
Fen Ruo and Fang Ruo bumped heads, the two were not too close, but they also respected each other, and a few words of greeting were just enough.
Like the previous life, Zhen Huan was assigned to Broken Yuxuan, and Shen Meizhuang stayed in Changxi Hall of Xianfu Palace.
And An Lingrong, in this life, actually lived in the palace of Li Concubine.
When he heard the words "Qixiang Palace", An Lingrong was stunned for a moment.
"Little master, go with peace of mind, Qixiang Palace has an excellent geographical location." Fen Ruo comforted her and said, "Concubine Li is straightforward and easy to get along with. ”
An Lingrong smiled quietly and thanked Fenruo.
On the other side, Fang Ruo's expression stiffened for a moment after learning that Zhen Huan's residence was Broken Yuxuan, but she could only comfort Zhen Huan and enter the palace first.
Dill and cardamom followed An Lingrong all the way towards Qixiang Palace, the familiar red walls and tiles, the familiar bluestone red bricks, the road they had walked in their previous lives seemed to be spreading inch by inch under their feet.
The sky was bright and the wild geese flew high, opening the prelude to the chapter of the Forbidden City.
Along the way, the little eunuchs all talked about how Concubine Li was favored, how close Qixiang Palace was to the emperor's Heart Cultivation Palace, and so on.
An Lingrong listened while thinking in his heart.
The turn of events caught her off guard, but she quickly calmed down.
Fen Ruo is right, Concubine Li is straightforward, and getting along with her, as long as she doesn't twist, it's still very simple.
The difficult thing is Concubine Hua, who took refuge in Li Concubine.
Concubine Hua......
Thinking all the way, the little eunuch led An Lingrong and the three of them into Qixiang Palace, and walked to the side hall: "Little master, your Zichun Pavilion has arrived." ”
Dill took advantage of the situation and gave the little eunuch a reward.
The little eunuch withdrew with great gratitude.
An Lingrong walked into Zichun Pavilion, looked around, slowly sat down on the main seat, and stopped dill and cardamom: "The luggage should have been delivered, don't be busy packing up." Dill, go and call all the men who serve me, and Cardamom and prepare the broken silver. ”
The two of them went out in response.
It didn't take long for everyone to arrive.
Because the lord of Qixiang Palace is Li Concubine, the configuration of Zichun Pavilion is only approved by her, and there are only two little eunuchs and two little palace maids at the moment, and the chief eunuch and the palace maid in charge are naturally the people around Li Concubine, and she is not qualified to have it alone.
One of the little eunuchs is called Xiao Liuzi, one is called Xiao Shizi, one is called Mo'er, and the other is called Qin'er.
Just listen to the name, you can know that it is not a competent person.
An Lingrong thought of Baojuan in his previous life, and suddenly felt that the four weak people at the moment were also good, at least, it was not the eyeliner that was inserted by anyone.
Baojuan, when did she find out that something was wrong? The initial clue should be the straw man who cursed Concubine Hua, but unfortunately, she was too stupid at that time to be the queen at all. It wasn't until I was controlled by others that I slowly came back to my senses, but it was too late to say anything at that time.
Thinking like this, An Lingrong's face softened a lot: "You will follow me in the future, you don't have to worry about it, just remember one thing." An Lingrong lowered his voice, and his momentum suddenly became compelling, "When I am honored, you may not be able to gain power, but when I am down, you will definitely be humiliated." Do you understand? ”
The four of them were so frightened that they said yes.
An Lingrong collected his momentum, raised his hand, and motioned to Cardamom to reward: "However, since you have followed me, I will definitely do my best to take care of you." ”
When the silver arrived, the faces of the four people changed and changed, and then they knelt down to show their loyalty.
An Lingrong didn't bother to figure out how much loyalty there was, as long as he blatantly confronted her, he had to guard against it.
"Concubine Li can be in the palace now? I should go and say goodbye. An Lingrong ordered Mo'er to ask.
Mo'er's voice was soft: "Back to the little master, Concubine Li is talking in the palace of Concubine Hua now, not in the palace, the little master can rest first, and then go to the Chengxi Palace to say goodbye." ”
An Lingrong nodded, took Did's hand and went into the dormitory to pack up his things.
It's still a long day, and it's only the first day.
