Dong Yuan, who was raised in a deep boudoir, doesn't know anything about important affairs in the court, she only cares about small things in the house.

I ate black-bone chicken at my grandmother's place, and the next day, Old Hou Xue's expression was uneasy. He heard from Zi Yuan, who was serving in the grandmother's house, that the old Hou came back from court with a bad look on his face. A blue-and-white porcelain cup painted with gold was smashed.

But when Dong Yuan went to pay his respects, the old Hou Ye was still smiling, and kindly talked to her about practicing calligraphy, and said that her handwriting was vigorous and steady, and it was rare for her to have such a heart at such a young age, and asked the old lady to take an inkstone from the inner study rewarded her.

The old lady smiled: "Your Majesty, are you willing to do so? Back then, the Shizi wanted it, but you refused to agree with a sullen face..."

With Dong Yuan present, the old lady called Xue Ziyou, the eldest son of Marquis Zhenxian, the eldest son, not brother You.

Old Master Xue smiled: "Can you still take it into the coffin? I rewarded Sister Yuan, practice your calligraphy well..."

Dong Yuan answered in a daze.After inquiring, I found out that it was left by my great-grandfather to my grandfather. My grandfather always valued it. Once when a servant girl was packing up the desk, she accidentally bumped it with a ruler.

She suddenly felt that the inkstone was too hot, and she dared not use it after taking it back, so she asked Ju Xiang to keep it in a cage.

Another day later, Dong Yuan went to pay his respects to the old lady in the morning, but the treasure scarf serving in the room stopped her: "Miss Nine, Master Hou is sick and is recuperating at the old lady's place. I told you not to see anyone..."

You looked pretty good yesterday, why are you sick today?
Dong Yuan worried and asked: "Have you asked the imperial physician to look at it? What is the disease, and what medicine did you prescribe?"

Baojin was about to speak, when the felt curtain in the inner room was lifted, and Baolu, wearing green and pinched teeth, came out, and looked at Dong Yuan with a smile: "Miss Nine, Lord Hou let you in..."

Baojin stepped aside.

Dong Yuan took off the bluestone feather satin cloak and handed it to his maid, Ju Hong, and Bao Lu helped her take off the clogs on her feet, the little maid lifted up the felt curtain, and the two entered the old lady's bedroom.

There is a pot of budding wintersweet in the corner, which is very neatly trimmed.The snow-colored porcelain of the flowerpot, with blood plum painted with cinnabar, stands out against the twigs of wintersweet, which is particularly eye-catching.

The old Hou Ye wore a homely squirrel fur coat, leaned against the silver-red ink pillow to read a book, and the old lady sat aside, flicking the ashes in the copper stove with silver chopsticks. Seeing her come in, the old Hou Ye and the old man Everyone smiled.

Dong Yuan was slightly taken aback, isn't he sick?
On the old lady's wrist is a string of Buddhist beads carved from sandalwood into eighteen Arhats, protruding from the bottom of the wide sleeves, and there is a quiet sandalwood near her.

"Come on, come to grandma..." The old lady always talked to Dong Yuan in a coaxing tone, appearing very doting.

She smiled and sat beside the old lady.

The old lady took her hand, feeling a little distressed: "Hands are so cold, you don't know how to hold a hand stove when you come here? Juxiang must be lazy and don't know how to take care of you..."

Dong Yuan smiled: "No, sister Juxiang asked me to hold the hand stove... just a few steps away, how could I freeze to death? It's troublesome, I didn't want..."

The old lady blamed the child and asked Baolu to bring her a small copper hand stove.

The hand stove was only the size of an apple, smaller and more delicate than the ones used at home, with carved patterns around it, and a piece of snow-colored warm jade on the handle of the hand stove, which was precious and gorgeous, and Dong Yuan's eyes shone brightly.

Seeing that she liked it, the old lady smiled and said, "Isn't it fun?"

Dong Yuan nodded again and again, and shifted his attention from the old Hou Ye to the copper hand furnace.

"This is a new tribute from Tianluo Kingdom in the west this year. The copper and warm jade are dug out from the bottom of the snow-capped mountains. Even if there is no silver charcoal, the copper furnace itself is warm. There are only seven in total, two for the empress dowager, and the empress dowager. Two, one for our imperial concubine and one for Sheng imperial concubine, and one for the eldest princess. The imperial concubine and empress thought it was too small, yesterday when Lord Hou entered the palace, he specially invited him to the inner hall, and asked him to bring it back for the sisters at home to play with... You take it." The old lady explained with a smile.

Dong Yuan's heart moved slightly, she hurriedly declined: "It's too precious, if I break it, I will fail the great love of the imperial concubine..."

Her tone was a little naive, with a kind of innocence that didn't know much about the world, but there was a slight chill behind her.

The old Hou Ye is obviously in good health and rests at home reading and resting, but he claims that he is sick and cannot go to court; the imperial concubine and empress invited the old Hou Ye into the palace yesterday, and gave such a precious hand stove to the sisters in the family, and the old lady left it for her...

Is it...

Ever since he knew that there was a cousin in the family who was the prince's Liang Di, Dong Yuan felt uneasy in his heart.

Later, when the new emperor practiced Zuo, her cousin became a noble concubine, and she knew one thing in her heart: among the group of sisters, there would always be someone who would be sent to the palace to replace the noble concubine and be the favorite of the clan.

Three years ago, the sixth sister Xue Dongyao, who was two years older than Dong Yuan, got married and excluded one person; the year before last, the seventh sister Xue Dongyue also married; Only the 17-year-old Fifth Sister Xue Dongrong and Dong Yuan and the 12-year-old Twelfth Sister Xue Donglin and

The draft is three years after ascension to the throne, in May of the fourth year, that is, in May of next year.

As for Dongyuan, it will happen that he will be born next year.

Xue Donglin is too young, and only she and Fifth Sister Xue Dongrong are eligible to enter the palace.

She guessed in her heart that the person who entered the palace was most likely Fifth Sister.The family that Fifth Sister was betrothed to was exterminated, and her marriage has never been settled.

But if you think about it carefully, you can understand that the Xue family is looking for an excuse to keep Xue Dongrong in the new emperor's draft.

And Xue Dongyuan has never said kiss...

She was also not sure to rule out the possibility of entering the palace.

She has an outstanding appearance and is more beautiful than the fifth sister, so it is easier to win the favor and bring glory to the family.

Dong Yuan held the stove in his hands, his fingers tightened slightly.

When she opened her eyes five years ago, she knew that she had traveled to the ancient times with strict hierarchy. She lay in bed passively for two months, with resentment in her heart.

Later, Du Li, the maid beside her, went to fetch hot water, and after a while coaxed her back, she said that the small kitchen had been sealed off and there was only half a pot left.

He also complained to another maid, Kapok, "...if we fall to our death, let's go back to the fifth lady's room, let's not talk about rich clothes and good food, at least we won't be looked down upon by others like this! For no reason, we suffer from being implicated by her."

In the end, I poured the half basin of hot water...

All the little maids held their breath and dared not speak out.

Kapok advised her not to be angry.

Dong Yuan had already fallen asleep, but got up all at once, and told Kapok: "Wait for me to wash my face!"

Kapok was surprised, she clearly heard Du Li's complaint.

Du Li was also slightly surprised.

Seeing that the two of them were not moving, Dong Yuan called the servant girl next to him to bring water.The maid stammered that there was no hot water...

How can you wash your face without hot water in the freezing cold season?

Dong Yuan repeated: "Go get some water and let me wash my face!"

Du Li thought that Dong Yuan was provocative, snorted coldly, went out and brought in a basin of bitingly cold water, and squinted at her: "Miss Nine, you are so ignorant! It's so cold, we are not treated as human beings, let us go Come on with your own temper!"

Dong Yuan is funny, waiting for her to wash her face and go to bed, isn't that what Du Li should do as a personal maid?Why do you still blame Dong Yuan for deliberately making things difficult?
Dong Yuan smiled, took the handkerchief and washed his face with the cold water.

A biting chill ran down his cheeks and penetrated into his heart.She also realized in an instant that resentment cannot bring her any benefits, only by changing and following the rules of this era can she survive!

Even a servant girl dared to bully her!
After washing her face, she coldly threw the handkerchief onto the basin, splashing water all over Du Li.

Du Li screamed, if it wasn't for Kapok pulling her, she might have quarreled with Dong Yuan.

Dong Yuan didn't even look at her, and went straight to bed.

On a frosty winter night, she lay on the bed unable to sleep, and carefully planned how to get rid of the eaters in the house.

This is how the old lady sent Mama Tang to sell kapok pears.

She worked hard a little bit, without being impatient and calm, and won the old lady's approval, favor, love, and even today's doting.

When the old lady first looked at her with deep suspicion, she was not discouraged and ashamed; now when the old lady dotes on her, she is not arrogant.

Heart for heart, the old lady likes her, she is also sincerely filial, thinking of the old lady all the time.

Later, the old lady doted on her more and more, probably because she was getting older and her compassion became stronger. With such a smart granddaughter by her side, she naturally no longer cared about the rules of sharing love equally and not letting other granddaughters be jealous.

And Dong Yuan felt more and more that the old lady was very filial like her grandmother in the previous life.

Although her filial piety always sends some snacks and small toys.

The old lady lacks nothing, and doesn't care about things.I can always think about it, this kind of sincerity just moved her.

She can hold her breath when things happen, and she is usually indifferent and quiet, until now when the old lady gave her the copper hand stove awarded by the imperial concubine, her heart was restless for a moment.

The old lady dotes on her, but it doesn't mean she has the same concept as her.

Dong Yuan is a young white-collar worker in the workplace in the new century. After coming to this time and space, she has already forced herself to accept her fate and conform to the laws of this era.But she has a bottom line for marriage, the first one is not to enter the palace.

Marriage in ancient times was unfair to women, and the law of three wives and four concubines persecuted women physically and mentally.

And the imperial palace exaggerated this persecution to the extreme!
Nearly [-] beauties compete for favor...

Just thinking about it makes my bones chill.

If she was born a few years earlier, could marry the prince, and be the mother of the world in the future, maybe she would be willing to endure the cruel and inhuman court life.But the prince is ten years older than her, and has already married a wife, and now he is also a queen.

Dong Yuan entered the palace as the emperor's concubine.

If she is dignified and virtuous, and sticks to etiquette, the emperor will be bored.These virtues that queens should have, she carried them by a concubine, which is both ridiculous and terrifying.The emperor is both a monarch and a man. Which man really likes a woman wearing a polite mask?
If she is enchanting and charming, does not follow the etiquette, and has this natural foxy appearance, if the emperor can't control himself and spoils her too much, the imperial censor will refer to her as a concubine concubine, and there will be no place for her to die!
But the old lady is an ancient person. In the education she received since she was a child, the imperial concubine is a master.Even when the old Hou Ye saw the imperial concubine, he would bow three times and kowtow nine times.Being able to enter the palace is the top prospect for a woman.

Entering the palace as a concubine is a great honor and an excellent opportunity.

The old lady won't help her win this opportunity just because she dotes on her?

Thinking of this, Dong Yuan's heart could no longer calm down, like a spring swallow lightly gliding across the lake, making ripples.She couldn't help but glanced at the old lady.

The old lady asked her kindly: "How, is this hand stove light and warm?"
