Qi Concubine's Cultivation Notes in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 58

A few days after the primary election, there will be a re-election. Those who are eligible to enter the re-election will go to live in the Chuxiu Palace, let the nobles in the palace see each other, and finally decide whether to put up a sign or refer to marriage or enter the palace to serve the emperor.

The re-election has also entered the spring of March, and when I go in, I wear my own clothes. When I was in Jizhou, Fahrenheit had already prepared for the two of them. The colors of the two, Li Rulan chose cool colors, she was born bright , if it is paired with a color like water red, it will look frivolous, but Li Yunting let Huashi look at it and choose it. Huashi likes his daughter to wear fresh and tender colors, such as light yellow and water red.Jewelry was also put into the baggage, because I wanted to reward my servants, so I stuffed a lot of small purses.Both of them chose to bring books to pass the time, Li Yunting was the chess record, and Li Rulan wanted to bring "The Book of Songs" but thought it was frivolous, and finally chose Li Bai's poetry collection.

There were dozens of people left, standing scattered together, Li Yunting had a good memory, the ones with the best looks were all from the Han army flag, and the ones with good temperament were all from the full flag.

Strangers were a little restrained standing together, Li Rulan made up her mind to enter the circle of those aristocratic women, and stood a little further away from Li Yunting.

A petite and beautiful girl beside Li Yunting spoke to Li Yunting, "You should be sisters."

Li Yunting took a look at her, the peach red cheongsam made her skin soft and tender, with small pearls in her ears, and the outfits all over her body showed that she was not a wealthy person.And combined with Li Yunting's memory, the last time she stood behind her was also from the Han army flag.Li Yunting said: "It's my sister. But how do you know." Li Yunting saw someone talking beside her, so she chatted with this little girl.

"They don't look alike, but the materials on their bodies are exactly the same," said the little girl.

"I'm really not like her." Li Yunting said.

The little girl saw that it was obvious that Li Rulan had chatted with someone from Xiangbaiqi. Although she was from an average family background, she was good at seeing people. Seeing that Xiangbaiqi was definitely a noble person in this circle.However, she talked to Li Yunting because she was standing next to her, and because Li Yunting was the most beautiful among them. This time, she wanted to enter the harem. With such a color, she could greet her if she had the opportunity.In the eyes of this girl, in addition to choosing Fujin for some princes in this draft, the harem also needs to be enriched this time, so the good-looking Han Junqi is a good choice.And Li Yunting, who is quite cold-tempered, is actually innocent.

The two chatted a bit, how old are you, the situation at home, and they exchanged names, called Sun Xiaorou.

Originally they were standing in twos and threes, but when they saw the eunuch coming from a distance, they all fell silent. The eunuch led the people to divide the room into two rooms, and Sun Xiaorou saw Li Rulan and the one with the white flag still standing together, Then she tugged on Li Yunting's sleeve.It means the two of them share a room.

After registering with the eunuch, they divided the rooms. Li Rulan and the one with the white flag finally went to the room facing the south, while Sun Xiaorou and Li Yunting went to the room facing the north.

Entering the room, rows of carved windows facing south were pushed open, and manskins were hanging down. There were two dressing tables by the windows. The bronze mirror was apparently just polished, and two identical dark red bed frames were carved with weeping willow.The carving is natural and meticulous.Silver hooks are attached to the goose-yellow silk curtain.

The whole house is well furnished.

There are also two cabinets with copper locks on them, and the contents are in duplicate. The two of them sorted the things they brought.

After Li Yunting cleaned up, she sat on the chair next to her, "Wait a minute, I'm almost there." Sun Xiaorou said, speeding up the movements in her hands. "Fortunately, my sister shared the same room with me, and the people around me are not familiar with each other. Sister Guan is the most amiable."

Li Yunting didn't respond to this, but Sun Xiaorou didn't take it seriously, "It's not as agile as my sister's movements, but it's still good."

The father-in-law just explained briefly, and asked them to wait in the main hall after about half an hour. There will be a special nun in charge of Chuxiu Palace, explaining the rules inside.

Sun Xiaorou and Li Yunting's room was at the back, when they came out, they happened to see Li Rulan coming out with the girl with the white flag.

Li Rulan felt a little nervous, she abandoned Li Yunting and befriended this Xiangbaiqi, her boudoir names were Dong E's and Xianting.It makes sense for Li Rulan to choose this person. During the primary election that day, she noticed that she has good looks and a bit of arrogance. Such a person is not difficult to get along with. So he prescribes the right medicine and makes friends with this person.Sure enough, with just a few words, I knew that this Dong E family was the Fujin of the future third elder brother. Li Rulan originally had a lot of research on Qing history, and since she entered the Li Mansion, she knew that she might be with the fourth master, and even recalled these past lives knowledge fell silent.

Seeing Li Yunting at this moment, although Li Rulan was a little guilty, she quickly settled down, and suddenly thought that Kangxi would point Li Shi to the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, this must be Li Yunting or one of her, if it is a house , In fact, it is better to trip Li Yunting, and I regret it.Li Rulan thought for a while, then said to Xianting beside her, "The one who just walked past is my sister."

"En." Xian Ting responded, thought for a while and said, "Is she also good at poetry like you?"

"That's not true." Li Rulan said with a slight smile, "She doesn't know how to compose lyrics, but only some chess records."

As soon as Xian Ting heard it, she lost interest. If she played a good game of chess, that's all. She only knows how to memorize chess records, which is considered inferior.

If she had the previous space in her hands, Li Rulan could walk around the palace with news about Li Yunting and ruin her reputation, but now even Bai Zhi is not there, only she can do such small movements, expecting to happen Butterfly effect, not daring to make big moves.

Li Yunting whispered to Sun Xiaorou and soon arrived at the hall.

In twos and threes, they all came in pairs. Everyone said this in a low voice, which made the hall buzz.This time, it seemed that people's hearts were more settled than in the morning, chattering non-stop.

When she saw Mammy coming, she quickly stopped.

Mammy first said some polite words, "You girls are all masters when you enter Chuxiu Palace. You can live in peace these days, and the masters have their own ideas. If you want to see the masters in turn, or have some written tests, the superior We will tell the girl when the order comes down." When she said this, Mammy paused.

Li Rulan was planning, although he would tell, there is a time difference here, if these maids and nuns are arranged well, they will benefit.It's just that people's hearts are so easy to control. The environment in Li's residence is pure after all. When she arrived in the palace, Li Rulan kept turning her head, wishing to crumble every sentence into pieces.

Everyone listened carefully, and Li Yunting also listened carefully, "There are ninety show girls this time, which is the most in history. Chuxiu Palace doesn't have enough manpower at all, and some things must be troubled by a girl to do it herself. gone."

Many people outside the palace know this. Some people who are quick-witted will choose roommates who look unattractive and have a good family background. Many things are done by the roommates who live together.

Xian Ting originally planned this way, but she saw that Li Rulan is a character, but she was born in the Han Army Banner, so she might still have to do things for her.

Li Rulan didn't know that she had been appointed by her roommate to be a temporary servant girl.

The mammy spoke one by one, and everyone listened seriously. Meals can be used in this hall, or they can carry them back to the room by themselves.

When the nuns left, the girls began to chatter and chatter.

"I also did some work at home." Sun Xiaorou extended an olive branch to Li Yunting first, "If necessary, I can help."

Li Yunting said with a smile: "It's okay, just take care of yourself."

It seemed that the nobles in the palace had forgotten about them, and the imperial garden was not open to them, and the space for activities was only the Chuxiu Palace, and they heard such things as throwing off their handkerchiefs, stepping on stones and falling down.

Li Yunting is relying on her own cultivation, so she has no fear, but Sun Xiaorou always cleverly leads Li Yunting to avoid these things, and Li Yunting finds it interesting when she comes and goes.

"Why do you help me like this?" Li Yunting said.

Sun Xiaorou's pupils widened slightly, although she always knew that Li Yunting was a straightforward person, so she opened the door and window and said to Li Yunting, "How could Sister Li say that?"

"Actually, those small actions can't hurt me. I just wonder why you help."

When Sun Xiaorou heard that Li Yunting had her own means of coping, she immediately blushed, "I made a joke in front of my sister, and my sister has her own countermeasures. I really treat my sister as a friend."

"If it's outside the palace, we know each other, I would think so, but this is the palace after all." Li Yunting said.

"Then sister thinks I'm hiding a traitor?"

"No." Li Yunting said with a smile, "You don't have to be so nervous, I just find it strange, if you don't want to say it, that's all."

"It's nothing." Sun Xiaorou said with a smile, "I've always known that my sister is a good person, so I just said it bluntly. I'm just doing a small favor. If I enter the palace, I will ask my sister to help me."

"Entering the palace?" Li Yunting's eyes widened unconsciously.

Seeing Li Yunting's surprised look, Sun Xiaorou was taken aback for a moment, and then explained in a low voice: "Generally speaking, there will be people from other flags entering the palace, but the most common ones are those from the Han army flag. I don't know if my sister has noticed, But in terms of appearance, the Hanjun flag is the most outstanding."

Li Yunting nodded subconsciously, and she listened curiously to Sun Xiaorou's continuation.

"I was a little confident at first, but this time I was going to get ahead, but only after seeing my sister did I know that there is a world beyond the sky. I think my sister is a refined person. If I were with my sister, I would be able to survive together." Sun Xiaorou said.

Li Yunting was a little bit dumbfounded, but after thinking about it, if it wasn't for the fact that her body was abducted, and she became acquainted with Prince Yu's mansion, if she was born beautiful, it would not be impossible to enrich the harem.It's just that this matter can't be disclosed to Sun Xiaorou. Li Yunting said: "My sister is a caring person, but the matter of the draft is uncertain. It is also possible when the brand will be announced." Li Yunting is naturally impossible. He said that he wanted to be the prince Fujin, but if he meant marriage was not this, he would have to find a way to change it.

Seeing Li Yunting's appearance, Sun Xiaorou thought it was impossible, but she just smiled and said: "That's right, everything is uncertain."
