Traveling through the harem: the favorite concubine

Chapter 2

Chunlan!

When hearing this name, Ruyi couldn't help jumping twice in her heart.

At least, she would never have anything to do with Chunlan before the palace staff reminded her.But she believes that the palace people will never lie. Since she said she has something to do with Chunlan, she must have something to do with Chunlan.

However, she couldn't think of the connection between the two after thinking about it. Chunlan was the little maid who entered the palace with her. The two were sent to the palace by the same county and county. Established a deep friendship.Later, they were assigned to Jiaofang Palace successively. Although they didn't see each other often, they could be called good sisters.

After the news came out, she knew that Chunlan wanted to be selected, and even asked her to borrow some money to make connections, but she accidentally fell into the pool and developed a high fever. She even went to see her and persuaded her to relax.

No matter how you think about it, Chunlan has nothing to do with this matter.

Ruyi is not a person who can save things. After the palace people left, she decided to ask Chunlan.

Although Chunlan entered the palace in the same batch as Ruyi, she is a self-motivated person, so she is much better off than Yi. The room she lives in is for two people, which is much better than Yi's six-person pass.

When she went, Chunlan was lying on the bed embroidering patterns, and the other court lady in the same room as her was not there.

Seeing Ruyi walking in, Chunlan put a smile on her face, put away the work she was doing, and beckoned her to sit down.

When Ruyi came, she thought of many things in her mind, but when she really saw Chunlan, she didn't know what to say in her heart, she was a little speechless for a while.

Chunlan was lively, she winked at her and said with a smile, "You should thank me well!"

Ruyi didn't expect the other party to mention this matter first, she swallowed, and after a while, she could only say: "Why?"

"What why!" Chunlan blinked her eyes and smiled, "Ruyi, you entered the palace with me in the same batch. We are good sisters. You see, I was hurt by that bitch and couldn't run for the election. I don't have money." If you give it away, you can’t make it cheaper for others, of course I’m giving you the chance!”

After finishing speaking, he thought of something and hurriedly said: "I know you want to leave the palace, but what's so good about leaving the palace, you really are willing to part with the wealth in this palace!"

Even though Ruyi was filled with anger at this time, she knew that it would be futile to say more, but she couldn't calm down: "Why didn't you ask me first!"

Chunlan rolled her eyes when she heard this, but didn't answer.In the end, he took her hand instead and said earnestly, "Ruyi, you will thank me later!"

After all, he taught earnestly: "In the future, when you enter the womb of the crown prince, you can't be so clumsy. Being a crown prince's woman is different from being a court lady. You have to fight for it!" After thinking about it, he said, "Even if If anything bad happens in the future, don't be depressed, you are also the crown prince's woman! I... I will help you too. "

Ruyi went in without knowing, but also felt that she and Chunlan had nothing in common, so she nodded and bid farewell to leave.

Chunlan sat on the bed, watching Ruyi's thin figure slowly leave, thinking proudly and pitifully: You will have to thank me very much in the future!I saved your life.

Chunlan's mind was full of thoughts: Just two years later, a group of people would die in the small kitchen of Jiaofang Palace because of the "poisonous dim sum" incident, and a humble little maid like Ruyi would definitely bear the brunt.Now, even though you went to the "unlucky prince" for me, even if you fall from wealth and honor in the future, you will still save your life, and I will definitely take care of you because of my love today.

After thinking about it, Chunlan couldn't help being a little puzzled. In her previous life, she didn't remember that there was such a person as Ruyi. Maybe she did, but she definitely wasn't as close as her.Or maybe it was because she lived for too long in her previous life and forgot too many things, but this Ruyi is really a fool. palace.

What's so good about leaving the palace!She pouted and thought playfully: When they leave the palace at the age of 25, how can anyone be willing to marry them!Even if there is, she will marry an old widower as a cheap wife as a second wife. Even if she is lucky enough to marry a rich family as a concubine, most of them will marry in the name of a court lady. How can they compete for favor at this age!

As a concubine, it's better to take advantage of her youth and strive to be the best, and she is not married to an ordinary person!
Naturally, Ruyi didn't know what Chunlan was thinking at the moment, when she returned to her room, the other maids in the same room were all back, and they were sitting on their bunk and tidying up noisily, when they saw Ruyi coming in, they all held their breath.

Ruyi didn't take it seriously, she just went back to her bedding, and just as she sat down, two maids who were on good terms with her on weekdays asked cautiously, "Ruyi, you won't be staying here tomorrow?"

Ruyi nodded.

"Will you come back after that?"

"Bah bah!" As soon as the words finished, a court lady interrupted again and again, "You crow's mouth, Ruyi has gone to enjoy wealth and honor, and you still hope for her to come back!"

The man knew that he had made a slip of the tongue when he heard the words, and smiled apologetically: "Ruyi, it's not that I don't miss you, I just miss you!"

Ruyi raised her head, smiled, and nodded.

Waking up early the next day, Ruyi was picked up by someone sent by Lingong people.

In fact, the possibility that the little palace lady said yesterday is indeed true. The woman who gave it to the prince, and will be a concubine who will serve close to him in the future, will naturally teach her how to carve it.If you don't learn well, it's not impossible to be sent back, but the probability is relatively small.

After all, the people who were selected in the first place have been carefully selected, at least the external form has passed the test.Secondly, even if the maids in the palace who can meet this level have different personalities, the rules are still very good.

And it's just a short-term training class, even if you want to pretend, you can pretend it.

When Ruyi arrived at the place, she found that the other three people had also arrived one after another. The four of them held their breath and stood in front of the Lin Gong people, all bowing their heads and acting honestly. The Lin Gong people examined them, and then briefly said a few words of kindness If you don't, seeing their expressions are more honest, you just nodded in satisfaction, and then asked them to take them to the rooms they arranged to freshen up and change their clothes.

Ruyi was still timid and timid at this time, when she arrived at the room, she was not at all excited when she saw the beautiful clothes and ornaments in the room, but she was honestly at the mercy of an old palace man, washed her body and hair, and then Dress up and put on makeup.

"The girl looks really good, and she has a good figure!"

The old palace man dressed Yu Bi, and couldn't help admiring.

Ruyi just glanced vaguely at the person in the glasses, and didn't pay too much attention to it, so she stood up and was led back to the room where she came.

This time, Ruyi arrived first. Lin Gong people sat in the room and waited. Seeing Ruyi walking in, there was a little surprise in their eyes, and they couldn't help thinking: Unexpectedly, this is a piece of rough jade, but the carving is outstanding. of.

At first, she thought that the royal family would entrust her with her, and it was just a matter of saving face, so she took good care of her, but now she has a little love for talents, and if she teaches her well, she may be a little rich.

Speaking of which, when the four of them were sent to have a look at the queen at the beginning, the queen had some complaints about Ruyi, thinking that her appearance and temperament were not outstanding, and in the end she could barely make up for the sake of her well-developed figure. At that time, it felt like a different person, even the timid and weak temperament had changed into Xiaojiabiyu's lovely and pitiful posture.

Of course, this thought was only passed through Lin Gongren's mind once, but half of it was not revealed on his face.

After all four of them arrived, they began to study.

This kind of study was actually done once when she first entered the palace as a maid, but the content of the study was very different from that time.After a few days of studying, Ruyi also made a summary. When learning to be a court lady, she learned to obey the rules. Whether it is clothing, makeup, or words and deeds, she has to do her job and never stand out.To learn to be a concubine, obedience to the rules is also the most important thing, but there are a few more differences, such as makeup, except for certain aspects of the regulations that are not allowed to be exceeded, how to dress as beautiful as possible.As for the behavior, it is taught in the aspect of gracefulness and gracefulness.

The next few days of study also opened up Ruyi's horizons, she simply did not shy away from teaching everything, and even specially hired someone with a fire avoidance map to teach how to serve, bold and open, which made the four of them blush.

But Ruyi also found a few clues, the postures taught by those people are all easy to conceive.Reminiscent of what the people of the Lin Palace taught about the relationship between people in the East Palace at the beginning, it seems that the prince has no heirs so far, and she also understood the reason why the queen chose them, probably for the so-called spread of branches and leaves.

However, the prince is already in his twenties. It has been more than ten years since the royal family taught personnel when he was 13 years old. There are so many women around the prince, but there will be no heirs. Ruyi can't help but speculate: Shouldn't it be impossible?
Of course, this idea, just circled in Ruyi's stomach, and disappeared!Did she know that in ancient times, if a man had no heirs, it was all the woman's responsibility, especially in the royal family, even if everyone agreed that it was the man's problem, no one would speak out without fear of death.

And the best way to do it is to give women desperately like a queen.
