The imperial concubine favors the crown of the harem

Chapter 9 Visiting the Palaces
A layer of peach pollen was sprinkled on her face, fully revealing her creamy skin.

Seeing Lin Wanyi tidy up from head to toe, Xia An and Chun Qi finally stopped.

"Young master's clothes are really hard to pick."

Xia An needs to know more about the rules, so he understands the stakes.

"Let's go, don't miss the hour."

"Yes."

This is Lin Wanyi's second visit to Linzhi Palace, and this time she didn't bother to look at the scenery along the way.

In the early spring of April, getting up early is a bit chilly.

Fortunately, her dress is not too thin, and after walking all the way to Linzhi Palace, she doesn't feel cold.

As soon as he entered the palace gate, he saw the maid who was sweeping the house came up to her, with a smile on her face, but her eyes were not sincere.

"My lord, you are here."

"Ah."

"The servant has been waiting here for a long time, so I just wanted to congratulate the young master first."

The eyes rolled round and round, and everyone knew what the words meant.

Standing behind Lin Wanyi, Xia An was secretly annoyed that the court lady really didn't understand the rules.

Obviously her own mistress wanted to keep a low profile, but she rushed to congratulate her blindly, afraid that others would not know that it was their mistress who attended the bed yesterday?
It will really add chaos.

Lin Wanyi doesn't like this kind of flattering people the most, but this is in Linzhi Palace, she can't show it no matter how she doesn't like it, so she said with a light smile.

"It's all thanks to your mother."

With a word that didn't hurt or itch, he quickly walked into the courtyard and stood on the porch.

The court lady originally planned to make some more tricks, but who knew that she punched the cotton with a fist, if there seemed to be nothing this time, it was no different from saying nothing.

Annoyed in his heart, this Lin Xiaozhu is really a skater's loach.

But thinking that there is no way out for her as a sweeping maid in Linzhi Palace, she might as well follow Lin Xiaozhu and start from scratch.

If I go now, I am still a second-class court lady. If Lin Xiaozhu is favored once, she will follow the chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven!

The more I think about it, the harder I sweep the broom in my hand.

Under the corridor of the main hall, there were already two or three concubines standing at the moment. When Lin Wanyi came over, she gave them a half-squatting salute, but unfortunately she only got a supercilious look and a cold snort.

Want to know why.

Not only can't understand her low-ranking concubine who entered the palace "through the back door" and served in bed, but she also takes into account that her relationship with Concubine Lin is not easy to break out.

So Lin Wanyi stood obediently on the porch, waiting for Concubine Lin Gui to summon her.

It has to be said that if she does not have the big Buddha Lin Guifei protecting her at this moment, she will probably be in the front row.

Therefore, when this thigh should be hugged, I still have to hug it!

Seeing the concubines in the palace enter the gate of Linzhi Palace one after another, the originally empty courtyard was filled with people in an instant.

Looking at it this way, Lin Wanyi wondered why all the women in the palace wanted to climb up.

If it wasn't for standing in a high position, Yingying Yanyan's servants would not be beaten, but would be annihilated.

Thinking this way in my heart, I saw Qin He who I just met yesterday came out from the inner hall behind the curtain, bowed to the concubines in the palace, and then said with a smile.

"The imperial concubine and empress have already tidied up, please come in, my lords."

"Yes."

A room full of women gathered together, anyone who saw it would feel dazzled.

In the main hall of Linzhi Palace, there is a ground screen throne in the center, with intricate patterns carved on it, which looks like a brocade phoenix bird.

And the imperial concubine is also dressed grandly today.

The double-breasted palace dress with silk embroidered with lotus patterns, and the ruby ​​apron with the same lotus pattern on the hairpin, not to mention luxurious, it also complements her aura.

Under Liu Ye's curved eyebrows, there is a pair of raised red phoenix eyes, sitting on the top of the head seems to be overlooking the crowd.

The Empress Dowager went to Wutai Mountain to meditate and worship the Buddha, and Empress Xu passed away for another three years. Now Concubine Lin Guifei is the highest-ranking woman in the palace, so she is naturally respected by her.

Everyone sat on the red sandalwood armchairs at the bottom according to their grades, listening to what the imperial concubine had to say.

On the contrary, the first positions on the left and right sides are still vacant, and the imperial concubine asked them the first question.

"Where are Concubine Yi and Concubine Lan?"

"Reporting to Empress, Concubine Lan felt a little unwell when she got up early, so she sent a palace servant to report, so she won't come for today's greeting. As for Empress Yi, she is probably still on her way."

The implication is that they have not received any explanation from their palace.

This sentence made Lin Wanyi vigilant.

It seems that this Concubine Yi is a hard-nosed person, and she can be late when she is in the palace. She thinks she must have a long-lasting favor or a powerful family, otherwise how dare she openly confront Concubine Lin Gui!

Seeing Lin Guifei's calm expression, she said to the next concubines.

"Since Sister Yifei is still on the way, all the younger sisters should have a cup of tea first, and then we can talk together when she comes."

Sure enough, none of the women in the palace were vegetarians.

If Concubine Yi didn't arrive, the time to pay her respects had to be postponed, and in the end, this crime was pushed on Concubine Yi's head, which would really lead to misfortune.

As soon as the imperial concubine finished speaking, the court lady Qinhe led her to the Dragon Well Tea before the rain and exquisite refreshments.

"This Yuqian Dragon Well was just presented as a tribute this year. Your Majesty rewarded me with some. I took it out to drink with all the sisters today. Try it. It tastes really good."

"Your Majesty is really sympathetic to us, such a good imperial tea, even maidservants and concubines feel precious when they smell it."

The one who spoke was a palace concubine who was not very outstanding in appearance and looked a bit older.

The palace gown of lotus root pigment soft satin is embroidered with the pattern of twining vases, which looks plain and clean, but if you look closely at the clothes, the quality is not high.

"Sister Du is used to joking. A few days ago, the Japanese Palace got a new red coral hairpin. It's a novelty to look at. Let me give it to my sister for a while."

As soon as the words were finished, Qinliu, another big court lady next to the imperial concubine, came out with a brocade tray, walked up to Du Changzai, and handed it over respectfully.

Du Changzai's eyes were filled with surprise, it was finally worthwhile for her to sell well, it seems that the imperial concubine intended to promote her.

She thought that she had been with the emperor in the ninth year of Yuanhe, eight years had passed in a flash.

The status is still a resident, not to mention comparing with the old people, even among the concubines who have just entered the palace, there is a Chu nobleman who is higher than her, and the Ming family is also a resident.

Whether it is appearance, figure, family background or talent, they are far above her.

If you don't work hard and find a backer to protect her, I'm afraid she will be like the weeds beside the city wall, no one cares about her.

Thinking of this, he immediately got up and bowed to Concubine Lin Gui, and said with an excited tone.

"The maid concubine thanked the empress for the reward."

Such a clinging appearance made the bright and beautiful woman sitting on top very unhappy.

He looked at Du Changzai with sarcasm in his eyes. Although he didn't speak, the meaning was very clear.

Sure enough, he is an unfavorable country bumpkin, and a mere coral hairpin can be so happy.
