Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 36

Therefore, compared to the kind and gentle Nanny Bai, Nanny Liu is more suitable to be the nanny in charge, so Shuning chose Nanny Liu to discipline them without hesitation.As for the two nuns, she believed that they would not harm herself.Because they were all chosen by the queen mother herself, they only had trust in the queen mother Shuning. After all, if they harmed themselves, it would be a breach of trust in the Yongning Houfu for the queen mother. At the same time, they also lost the mother of the future prince whom they had chosen.In this way, wouldn't the queen mother's previous actions be in vain?

And besides the Queen Mother's spies, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for her, so a fool would refuse!

She had no intention of harming others, so she didn't need to hide anything, even if something happened, the Queen Mother believed in her.The emperor is the queen mother's son, and the queen mother believes it. Can the son not believe it?So Shuning wished that the two nuns bestowed by the queen mother would stay by her side.

As for those maids, Shu Ning still didn't dare to let them serve her closely.It's not like some concubines will let the maids in the palace be their personal maids after entering the palace, just to show favor to them.But for Shu Ning, she couldn't believe this kind of court lady who became a monk halfway, how dare she put her safety in the hands of these people, and didn't trust the maid who grew up with her to protect her!

Besides, Shu Ning can't do that kind of thing that doesn't match her heart, she might as well show her true temperament generously, the most indispensable thing in the palace is those concubines who behave differently to each other.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go to Qifeng Palace."

Nanny Bai reminded that neither she nor Nanny Liu was surprised by Shuning's actions. The two of them had guessed that it would be like this earlier, and two months was enough for them to understand Shuning thoroughly, because she was not that kind. A difficult person to understand.

"Well, you guys change my clothes for me!"

When Shuning came to the back hall, there was already a set of gorgeous and exquisite second-rank concubine costumes on the bed.

Put on a slightly heavy formal court dress, wear a five-phoenix crown, and put a lotus-shaped flower on the forehead.As soon as Shu Ning turned around, her wide sleeves fluttered with her movements.

Different from the fairy temperament when she was wearing the flowing fairy dress before, Shu Ning is more solemn and luxurious now, and people dare not underestimate her from a distance. But it also feels oppressive.

"Let's go!" Shuning walked out holding Mei Qiu and Mei Dong's hands, leaving Mei Chun and Mei Xia to guard the Changning Palace.

Concubines of the fourth rank and above have soft sedan chairs to walk in the palace, while concubines of the fourth rank and below can only walk on their own legs.And Shu Ning is the concubine of the second grade, so she naturally has a soft sedan chair.

As soon as she went out, the soft sedan stopped outside, and Qiudong's two big maids helped her onto the soft bridge, and then stood guard on both sides of the soft sedan.The person who carried the sedan chair was the eunuch, and except for the guards, no other men were allowed to enter the harem.

It took only a quarter of an hour to arrive at Qifeng Palace, and it really wasn't far from the Sangong, and it took only 15 minutes for a quarter.

After getting off the soft sedan chair, eunuchs from Qifeng Palace immediately came out to greet her.

"Luo Zhi, chief executive of Qifeng Palace, joined the concubine Jia."

"Please rise, reward."

Shu Ning stepped through the gate of Qifeng Palace, and someone behind him naturally gave the reward to the other party.

"Thank you madam."

Luo Zhi stood up and followed after two steps away from Shuning.

"Please wait a moment, ma'am."

In front of the main hall, Shuning stopped.

"Ah."

Wait for Luo Zhi to go in and communicate.

"The empress has a decree, to pass on the concubine Jia to see her."

"Concubine Fang's Shu Ning, see the Empress Empress, the Empress is a thousand years old."

It was the first time to officially meet the empress with a big gift, and only after the empress accepted her gift could she officially become a member of the harem on behalf of Shuning.

At the same time, the queen also gave Shu Ning the gold book and gold seal that symbolized her status as a concubine, because she was called into the harem by imperial decree, and she did not catch up with the canonization ceremony years ago. Therefore, after discussing with the emperor, the empress awarded the golden book and gold seal to Shu Ning when she formally met the empress for the first time.

You must know that although she is considered a member of the harem after meeting the empress and giving a big gift, Shu Ning, a concubine, is only worthy of her name after receiving the gold book and gold seal.

Although many concubines have been promoted to the concubine position, they have never received the gold book and gold seal, so they appear to be lacking in confidence when facing the people in the harem, and they will not even be respected by low-ranking concubines.

So although there was no canonization ceremony, no one in the palace underestimated this second-rank concubine, because several concubines in the palace didn't even get the gold book.Even the few concubines with the same status as Shuning didn't have the gold books and seals, and it's unknown whether the emperor and empress had forgotten it on purpose, or if they had really forgotten it.That's why they looked at Shu Ning very badly. Why did they get all the later ones, but they didn't even see what their own gold book and gold seal looked like.

After giving the gold book and gold seal, the empress also gave Shuning a pair of ruby ​​haircuts as a gift, which surprised Shuning. Such an expensive headgear was given to herself, and she also felt the kindness from the empress. .

He took the head and handed it to Mei Qiu behind him.It's just that the eyes of several concubines are too hot, it's hard for Shu Ning to pretend not to see it.He had no choice but to look up at them when the queen asked her to get up, and then greeted Concubine Xian and Concubine De with a smile from the queen, and received a gift from the two, and sat down in the seat vacated by Concubine Li.Who gave Shu Ning a golden book and a gold seal, and a better birth than her!
