The imperial concubine favors the crown of the harem

Chapter 3 Called into the palace
"Mother is thinking about it. If my daughter can gain some face in front of His Majesty by entering the palace, it will indeed be a good thing for my father and brother. Do you really want to watch your eldest brother and third brother live like this for the rest of their lives? Being oppressed by the people from Xikuayuan, who will never make it to the top?”

Hearing her daughter mention her two sons and their future prospects, Mrs. Dong finally held back her tears.

The eyes looking at Lin Wanyi were full of apology and unbearable.

"Don't worry, my daughter is not a cattail that can be rubbed by others. Besides, as my second aunt said, isn't there a big sister in the palace to take care of her? You and I know what they are planning. Since you want me to go If you help her to be a solid pet, you will naturally find a way to keep me safe."

What she said made Dong's heart hang a little more comforting.

Now that things have come to an end, it's useless to cry any more, it's better to think about what to prepare for your daughter.

So he wiped away his tears and began to pack the whole suit for her.

That night, Lin Wanyi bid farewell to her parents, talked to her elder brother and younger brother for a while, and then rested.

When the room was so dark that there was only one light left, she lay on the bed and thought about how she would live the days to come.

Those words during the day were just words to comfort her mother, everything after entering the palace was unknown to her.

After tossing and turning for a long time, I was so sleepy that I fell asleep when the sky was a little bright.

So much so that she was still dozing off in the carriage entering the palace, and the maids Chun Qi and Xia An who accompanied her looked at the bruises in front of her young lady's eyes and the palace wall that was getting closer, feeling as if they were beating drums and didn't know what to do.

"Miss, ma'am..."

Hearing Chunqi's familiar voice, Lin Wanyi woke up from a light sleep.

"arrive?"

"The palace attendant outside said that the carriage is not allowed to enter the Shunzhen Gate."

Lin Wanyi nodded, took a deep breath and lifted the curtain to get out of the carriage.

I saw high crimson palace walls all around, the plaque of Shunzhen Gate was hanging in front of me, and the palace attendant who was in charge of receiving people stood in front of the carriage in an orderly manner. Cloud silk cloth shirt like dark moss.

"Xu Guangping, the steward of the slave's inner court department, has seen Xiaozhu Lin, please greet him."

"Eunuch Xu is polite."

"This servant is here to wait for the young master, and send you to Chuxiu Palace first."

Once he entered the palace gate, he should obey others' orders. Lin Wanyi was not arrogant, and followed Xu's servant into the palace through the side entrance.

After the palace gate was slowly closed, Lin Wanyi glanced outside the city, and when she turned her head and turned around, she had already walked firmly and had no distracting thoughts.

After entering the Chuxiu Palace, what awaited her was a series of rigorous inspections. The nuns refused to let go of even a strand of hair from head to toe, and it took about half an hour to complete it.

"Forgive me, my lord, these rules are required to be checked by concubines entering the palace."

"It's okay, has Mammy checked it out?"

"Well, after my lord changes into her palace clothes, some palace servants will guide you to Yihua Palace."

Dare to toss for a long time, this is not the real place to stay, but since it is here, it will be at ease, Lin Wanyi does not have much complaints, changed clothes under the service of the palace servants, and went to Yihua Palace.

The palace walls are towering and the palace rules are strict.

Along the way, they met several groups of palace maids and eunuchs, all of whom bowed their heads in polite salutes. Chun Qi and Xia An, who were following Lin Wanyi, couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Put all your energy into it, for fear that if you make a mistake, it will harm your young lady.

I was so nervous that I even forgot which doors I walked through, and which palaces I passed. When I realized it, the three masters and servants were already standing in the east side hall of Yihua Palace.

The one who led the way was an elderly nanny, who said in a serious manner.

"Little Master Lin, the hall on the left is where you will live in the future. The interior is well-arranged. If there are any deficiencies, just let the servant girl go to the inner court to get it."

"Thank you for your advice, ma'am."

After finishing speaking, he asked Xia An who was beside him to hand over a heavy purse, and the nanny was not polite, and accepted the purse without any trace.

His tone was much more gentle than before, and he even kindly mentioned a word.

"The young master entered the palace one month late. There is no concubine master in this Yihua Palace, so the main hall is still vacant, but the back hall lives in the highest-ranking Chu nobleman among the beautiful women. His father is from the northwest. General Huwei, and the one on the right is Mu Ying, whose father is the county magistrate of Huaiyin, she has the same status as the young master, so she can move around more on weekdays."

Sure enough, money can turn ghosts around.

The nun clarified the identity and background of the person living with her in the palace without any trace, which solved Lin Wanyi's doubts.

"Mammy has a heart."

"My lord, let's rest first, and the palace servants will summon you later."

After finishing speaking, he saluted respectfully, turned and left the hall on the left.

After she left, Chun Qi and Xia An relaxed and looked around curiously.

"Miss, is there anyone coming later?"

"Probably someone from the imperial concubine's palace. It's the first time we enter the palace, so we naturally want to see each other."

She was originally from a non-draft talent, if it wasn't for the noble concubine and Princess Rongkang working behind the scenes, she probably wouldn't have entered the palace at this time.

Now that we have entered the palace, of course we have to meet each other.

Chun Qi nodded half understanding, but Xia An reminded her.

"After entering the palace, you can no longer call the lady, you have to call the young master like those nuns."

Chun Qi stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, "I forgot, miss... oh no, my master, what should we do next?"

"Put all the things I brought back in order."

"Don't we need to meet other people in this palace?"

"The rules and regulations in the harem are strictly hierarchical. Empress Xu died of illness three years ago. Now the imperial concubine is in charge of the palace. Naturally, you have to visit her first. Breaking the rules is not good."

Lin Wanyi patiently explained.

There is nothing important in the palace, Zuo is just serving the same man with a bunch of women.

But a woman's heart is in the bottom of her heart, especially if she is still in the palace, a wrong move may attract the attention of many people, so Lin Wanyi dare not take it lightly.

Fortunately, she has also acted "by eye" at home these years, so she will not break the rules.

Let Xia An light the agarwood, smelling the familiar smell, it eased the tension of the three of them a lot.

The things they brought were not many, and they were all put away in less than a moment.

The room on the left is the study room. Most of the miscellaneous books that Lin Wanyi likes to read are placed on the bookshelves, as well as some ingenious toys that her father prepared for her before entering the palace to pass the time.

On the right is the bedroom. The bed of pineapple wood is carved with the color of begonias, and the autumn-colored gauze cover is hung on the top. If you look closely, even the light that penetrates becomes soft.

When Chunqi was asking Lin Wanyi how to use her lunch, she heard someone coming from outside the house.
