The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 109

Although the status of an official woman is not allowed to enter the Kunning Palace together with a well-known concubine to greet the queen, but because Yunshan is pregnant, according to the clan system, she needs to greet the queen to thank the queen.

Yunshan got up very early that day, and this was the first day she woke up in a solitary house. The air was filled with the unique cold and fresh smell of autumn, which was no different from the past when three or five people were crowded together, and the smell was always unpleasant.

Although she doesn't live in the proper East and West Sixth Palace, and she doesn't have palace servants around her, her life is much easier than before.

She opened the window, and the cool wind hit her fair face, making her sleepy immediately.

The two lavender cotton-padded jackets with sunset patterns placed on the wooden table are newly rewarded by the emperor. Although they are not luxurious, they are much more comfortable to wear than the coarse linen clothes of the past.

Yun Shan chose one to put on, and she moved very lightly, for fear that the padded coat would become wrinkled or stained with dust.

Then he took his only decent piece of jewelry and put it on the bun.

It was a gold-plated butterfly hairpin, which was originally given by Wan Lai when she was in the mansion.

She looked at herself in the mirror, circled around twice in place, and the corner of her mouth raised a crescent-like arc quite complacently.

It was still gloomy outside, but Yunshan was as happy as the sun in spring in her heart.

She stroked her flat belly unconsciously. This was considered the greatest blessing in her first half of her life.

To be conceived by favor in one day is a blessing that many concubines in the palace have been looking forward to day and night but can't get.

But it was her, just when she felt that there was no hope for her to fly on the branches and spread her wings to become a phoenix, the heaven gave her this child.

This is the wealth that one deserves in life.

The convective wind from the long street was squeezed by the towering palace walls on both sides, making a frightening whistle.

Yun Shan wraps up her clothes slightly, and when she turns a corner, she sees Concubine Hui walking slowly with the lady of the palace water chestnut, probably also going to Kunning Palace to pay her respects to the Empress.

Yunshan hurried two steps forward, and blessed Concubine Hui, her eyes were as clear as autumn water, showing sincere gratitude: "Your maidservant sees Concubine Hui, your concubine is blessed and safe."

Concubine Hui smiled, and raised her hand to order her to stand up: "Now that you have a status, don't always call yourself a slave. Besides, if you are pregnant, the etiquette will be avoided."

Yun Shan walked to Concubine Hui's side, and gave another blessing, her eyes were full of gratitude: "If it wasn't for the empress's pity, how would slaves, servants and concubines be where they are today?"

The word 'Chen Qie', Yun Shan said it very awkwardly, and there was a little cowardice and inferiority in that tone, Hui Concubine just smiled when she heard it, and walked forward: "Whatever you say, it's all yours. Good luck, I envy you too."

Concubine Hui was polite and distant, Yunshan followed her closely, and said with a smile: "The concubine needs to be taken care of by the empress, and in the future, the empress will order the horse to look after her."

Concubine Hui smiled faintly, and brushed her forehead hair that was blown away by the wind, Yunshan immediately stepped forward to fix her forehead hair, but she heard Lingjiao's sharp voice: "Ms. For those who have served nobleman Wan, the skill of this hairpin makes the slaves feel ashamed."

After hearing this, Concubine Hui exchanged a glance with Ling Jiao, and the master and servant gave a meaningful smile.

These seemingly unintentional words and laughter pierced the softest part of Yunshan's heart like a sharp knife. She could only smile awkwardly and dare not reply.

That's right, I am a humble servant girl, and I have obtained the position of official woman by shameless means, who in the palace will treat her?

When they came to Kunning Palace, the eyes of all the concubines were on Yunshan.

There are fixed numbers of thrones on both sides of the hall, and Du Wanlai said that the seat will be vacant in the future, and there will be no place to sit.

Yunshan met everyone's eyes, stepped forward awkwardly, knelt down and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to the queen.

Before the ceremony was over, Rou Jia laughed and said: "This maid is a court lady, and the manner of performing such a grand ceremony reveals a vulgarity, and it will be difficult to wait for the elegant court."

An Guiren covered her mouth with a 'puchi' smile, and said: "No, it's hard for her. It's really obscene for a female stream to climb onto the dragon bed without shame."

Yun Shan's cheeks were as red as fire, and she buried her head even lower and did not dare to lift it up. The queen glanced at her and said calmly, "You are a man with a body, give me your seat."

Yunshan Shane got up, but he also encountered difficulties.

Since the empress gave the seat, but she didn't order the palace to add a new throne, she just ignored her as if she was nothing, and just sipped tea and chatted with the concubines next to her.

Yun Shan stood alone, like an outsider, but Concubine Hui pointed at Wan Yu's seat with a raised Juanzi, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty Zuo You Wan can't come today, so you can sit there."

Seeing that the queen didn't say anything, Yun Shan thanked Concubine Hui and wanted to sit down.Rong Yue who was sitting next to Wanyan looked at her coldly, and said with a sneer when she was about to take her seat: "Is this clothes a new gift from the emperor?"

Yun Shan sat on the seat, respectfully replied to Yun Shan: "Your Majesty has the eyes, the emperor rewarded you yesterday."

Rong Yue smiled: "The hairpin on your head was rewarded by nobleman Wan. No matter how good the material of the clothes rewarded by the emperor, it is no more precious than nobleman Wan's friendship with you." Rong Yue shook his head, glanced to the side and stopped looking at her: "In this way The glory that came, I would definitely not dare to take it in exchange for this palace."

Outside the house, Kang Fushou yelled 'Your Majesty is here' loudly, and immediately stopped the voices in the hall.

Yun Shan clenched the chair handle even more, with a look of embarrassment.

The thick warm yellow brocade and phoenix-patterned curtains were raised outside, and Wan Lai entered inside with delicate makeup on her face, and her red lips were even more charming like the sun's rays.She was wearing a satin cotton padded jacket in the blue color of heaven and water, wrapped in a layer of liuyue brocade as thin as a cicada's wings, which swayed with her light footsteps, like ripples on the spring water.

Concubine Hui saw her ruddy complexion with a smile on her lips, and saw her sick and weak appearance that day, her heart trembled.

Wan Lai respectfully saluted the queen, the queen smiled and stretched out her hand to signal her to get up: "I've been ill for so long, are you feeling better?"

Wan Lai smiled slightly, and said: "Empress Lao is worried, and my concubines are safe."

The queen nodded, and then looked awkwardly at Yunshan who was still occupying the Wanyi throne.

Wanyu turned around and walked straight towards Yunshan, her whole body seemed to be condensed by an invisible cold blade.

She smiled, but Yun Shan trembled with fright.

"Yunshan." She called softly, and Yunshan responded like a conditioned reflex, but Wanlao changed her words again: "Now it's time to call you an official woman, I'm really not used to it."

Yunshan said gracefully: "The nobleman is just joking, but it's just the emperor's pity for his concubines."

"Poor?" Wanyu smiled frivolously, standing in front of Yunshan, looking down at her from a high position: "You have been serving me by my side all these years, but now it is the emperor who sees you as pitiful and gave you a position. You are not good. Is this goose-feather soft seat comfortable? If you like it, I will go back to the emperor in the future, if I don’t give you my position, then it will be called glory.”

Yunshan was startled, she stood up suddenly and said in a blessing manner: "The concubine is arrogant, and I hope that the nobleman will forgive me."
