Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

When I was in Shengjing, I still felt cold in the palace maid's blue shirt, but it was just right in the capital.

Although Ji Lan has been designated as a concubine by default, she has to go through some things on the scene, so she still follows the rules and has studied the palace rules in the Ministry of Internal Affairs before officially entering the Empress Dowager's Palace as an errand.

Little sister Taoruo heard that her sister was coming today, so she didn't even have the mood to eat breakfast, she stayed in the yard all the time, playing with the birds in the cage while waiting for her to enter the palace gate.

On this day, Ji Lan carefully combed her hair, dressed in the clothes she washed and ironed, and entered the Shoukang Palace carefully.

"Sister, you are finally here!"

Tao Ruo threw down a stalk of straw to tease the bird, and ran up and down to meet Ji Lan.

No wonder Ernie was worried.

This girl, why is she even more naughty after entering the palace?
Ji Lan knew about such frivolous actions, and would punish him by kneeling at the slightest, or slapping his mouth if it was serious, and immediately looked around to see if any eunuchs or aunts in charge were watching.

She still had some broken silver in her hand, thinking that if her sister was punished, she would take it out, and it should be used as a disaster relief.

"Keep your voice down, this is not home!"

"What are you afraid of? They dare not control me."

After finishing speaking, Tao Ruo looked provocatively at the two eunuchs who led Ji Lan in, and they buried their heads even deeper in fright.

"The two girls are chatting slowly, and the servants have to go back and report."

Ji Lan wanted to give some filial money, but was stopped by her sister halfway.

"Who are they, and they deserve to take my sister's tip? Come on, let's talk in the house, I have prepared a lot of things!"

"Yao Luo, wait!"

"Sister, don't you know, I have changed my name to Tao Ruo. This name was given by the emperor. He said that my face is like a peach blossom, and I should live in IKEA."

Looking at her younger sister's shy appearance of a young girl Huaichun, there is still something that Ji Lan doesn't understand.

She, I'm afraid she has already gone to bed, right?
Then, what should I do?

"Okay, Tao Ruo, I, what should I do better in the palace?"

"My sister is just like me!"

Tao Ruo took down the birdcage hanging on the porch, opened the cover, and showed it to her sister.

"It's my job to take care of these two birds. Since my sister is here, I'll share one with you. This bird is called the blue indigo chin, but it's precious. If you want to drink the water for soaking the bird's nest, you must remember to feed it and clean the cage. There's nothing beside it."

Ji Lan was dumbfounded.

She grew up so big, she only ate bird's nest twice, and a bird actually wanted to drink bird's nest water.

"Why do you want to raise it?"

"Listen to the sound! This bird's beak is very clever, and it can imitate other birds and insects. Besides, other birds wilt as soon as the sun goes down, but it only loves to call at night. The Queen Mother likes them, When I'm bored at night, I just play around."

Ji Lan couldn't understand this extravagant interest, so he dragged his sister into the house.

On the dressing table, jade hairpins and golden steps were scattered in a mess. On the bed was the best apricot red satin quilt, and the embroidered mandarin ducks were playing in the water. The bright embroiderer Ji Lan could spot it at a glance, and it took three or four people to hold hands together. It takes ten days of non-stop work to get it.

What kind of maid, can live in a room by herself, and still use such fancy furnishings?

"Sit down and tell me the truth."

Tao Ruo had expected this to happen, sat down obediently, and poured almond tea for her sister and herself.

"Sister ask."

"You, are you just following the emperor without a name?"

"Of course not. The emperor promised me to give me a concubine. When I have an elder brother, I will be a concubine."

"Then why do you still live here?"

"Because, because it's interesting."

Tao Ruo was young after all, she became shy, her cheeks were pink and tender, she was really a peach blossom in the first bloom.

"Being a serious concubine, there are rules. When to turn over the cards, when to enter the Qianqing Palace, and when to come out, there are counts. When you are sleeping, there are people outside listening, so you have to remember the file. But here it is. , whenever the emperor wants to be with me, he can, he can be together. With the empress dowager taking care of her, no one dares to gossip."

Ji Lan bit her bright red lower lip, not knowing what to say about her sister.

"Stupid, are you, what if, you, if you are pregnant..."

"No, I'll drink avoid soup."

When it was dark, Ji Lan almost fainted, and Tao Ruo hurriedly helped her to sit down in a panic.

"What kind of good thing is that? The more you drink, the more uncomfortable you become. You rely on your youth and abuse your body, and you will feel better in the future!"

"I'm not afraid, I listen to the emperor, he will not let me down. You are not joking."

Only now did Ji Lan understand what it means for a female university to fail to stay.

Forget it, she wasn't much better before, she was looking forward to getting married all day long, so she didn't have the face to call her younger sister.

"Then why did you call me in?"

"Take care of me. Sister, I have to move out sooner or later. When the time comes, will you be my personal maid?"

It turned out to be for this.

Ji Lan slowly relaxed.

It is not impossible.

There is no one right around my younger sister, she will get into trouble sooner or later, and be rejected by the emperor.

"Okay, of course I'm willing to help you. Let's tidy up this room first, look at the mess, and the quilt is lazy to fold."

After tidying up the house, Ji Lan combed her younger sister's hair and picked out clothes, and Tao Ruo told her some interesting stories about the palace, but she kept talking with the emperor.

"He is very good, whether it is archery or horseback riding, he goes hunting in Nanyuan, and every time he brings back some delicious rabbits and wild deer to add vegetables to the empress dowager and empress dowager. I have eaten it too, and he is fat. It's delicious."

"Sister, you can go to the study to find out. The emperor writes beautifully. The books you have read are all piled up. They can fill a room."

"The emperor is very kind to me. He comes to see me once every two or three days, and he also rewards me with gifts. When he encounters something interesting, he will ask the little eunuch to send it over, and tell me to watch something new. I'm always afraid that I will be bored."

Seeing her intoxicated expression, Ji Lan couldn't bear to interrupt.

If you are serious about being a wife outside, why do you only see each other every two or three days?Can't wait to be in one place every day.

"If the emperor doesn't come, what are you going to do?"

Only then did Tao Ruo calm down, listless.

"Just, just wait. Eat something good, play with the birds, raise fish, and the day will pass quickly."

The two sisters were silent for a while.

Ji Lan managed to squeeze out a smile, and was about to gossip to ease the atmosphere, when suddenly a eunuch shouted outside the window, the emperor is coming.

Tao Ruo took her sister and ran outside, Ji Lan almost stumbled.

"I won't go, you go by yourself."

"Then how can it work? I have mentioned my sister to the emperor many times, and the emperor also said that he wants to see you!"

"What? You, you mentioned me to him?"

"Yes. Elder sister, have you misunderstood? There are rules to be the emperor's concubine. Of course elder sister is good, but you, you can't be."

Ji Lan was relieved, and for the first time since entering the palace, she smiled comfortably.

"Yeah, you are so young and pretty, and you come from an innocent background, so it's natural. I just want to take care of you."

Although Tao Ruo felt awkward because of lying to her, she soon felt relieved.

The emperor is such a good man, as long as my sister is willing to meet, she will definitely like it.

"Then let's go, don't make the emperor wait!"
