Kangxi Harem Ⅰ: Green Years

Chapter 8 ([-]) The grandmother has a heart in the court lady's face
[Grandmother's Tianyin spreads to Beisuo, and all the daughters get hope out of thin air;]

[Looking forward to meeting the Taizu, but I didn't expect to meet the emperor's fate. 】

In the Palace of Mercy Ning, Aunt Xiao knelt down on the ground, "The slaves kowtow to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is a thousand years old." "Okay, get up, Aijia asks you, how many people have this group of maids called?" The Empress Dowager asked.

"Report to the Empress Dowager 20 people." Aunt Xiao replied respectfully

"Is it okay to have a family background and look pleasing to the eye?" The Empress Dowager continued to ask.

"Uh, to report back to the Empress Dowager, it's okay to have two or three." Aunt Xiao replied nervously, not knowing what the Empress Dowager intended.

"Well, well, how about this, you take them to the Wanchun Pavilion in the Imperial Garden at Sishi tomorrow, my old man is going to have a look."

"The servant complies with the order." Aunt Xiao replied respectfully.

"Okay, let's go down." The Empress Dowager waved her hand.

Seeing Aunt Xiao retreating, the empress dowager's old maid Su Ma, who had been with her all her life, asked, "Why is the queen mother interested in asking about the maid?"

"Su Mo'er, when do you think my old body will calm down? The emperor is almost 14, and this Oboi doesn't seem to have any plans to return to the emperor. I think it must be because the emperor is young. If the emperor became a father, wouldn't he be an adult, but the emperor has been married for more than half a year, and the queen has not moved at all.

"The emperor and the empress are still young, so don't be too anxious, old ancestor." Aunt Su Ma comforted her.

"If you want to talk about this granddaughter-in-law, she is really virtuous. Ai's family can't find any faults. It's just her personality. She's a little soft, she doesn't know how to play tricks, and she doesn't know how to please the emperor. So I know that although the emperor chooses It’s not good to leave the empress, but I don’t really like it very much. I heard from the servants that the emperor doesn’t go to Kunning Palace many times.” The queen mother sighed.

"The queen has been taught since she was a child that she should keep her duty. Why don't you tell me and the queen to have a heart-to-heart talk?" Lagu Su Ma asked.

"The beating is necessary, but I have to think of other ways. You said that the emperor is young, but two days ago, the emperor had a lucky lady, and he planned to make her a promise. The emperor doesn't understand the female thing here. But to say that he understands, since he was 12 years old, Aijia has carefully selected a few good-looking maids in her palace, but so far he has only favored one court lady, Aijia thinks the emperor will look down on him. "The empress dowager paused and said: "The age of these maids entering the palace is about the same as that of the emperor. It's not as good as the previous ones who are older than the emperor. I heard from the servants that there are a few good ones. Tomorrow, the emperor asked me about it." After Ann, the Ai family led him to look at those maids, to see if there was anyone he could take a fancy to." The empress dowager sighed again when she said this, "There are a few more choices, and I will have an heir sooner. OK."

"The old ancestor is really troublesome. The dinner is ready. The old ancestor should have the meal first. Everything in this palace is indispensable to you, the old ancestor." Aunt Su Ma said with a smile.

Besides, when Aunt Xiao returned to the No. [-] North Institute, everyone had just had dinner, and the two aunts Ning and Lian went to the two rooms and hurriedly summoned everyone to the courtyard to gather.

"You guys are so lucky. The Empress Dowager has an order today. You will be summoned by Shufangzhai tomorrow at Sishi. I will review the rules I taught you today. If you make a mistake tomorrow, you will lose it in front of the Empress Dowager." People, I will never have any good fruit from you when I come back. Did you hear that?" Aunt Xiao scolded.

"Especially you, Lingqiao'er, let me soften your face." During the ten days of teaching the palace rules, Lingqiao'er was often scolded. Although there were some changes from the previous frosty face, Gai Rong'er thought that this meant that she had changed her face but not the original, only smiling at Aunt Xiao. After ten days, everyone was in the same room, and they became more and more familiar with each other, but Ling Qiao'er was the only one still She seldom talks to everyone, but it's enough to say a sentence or two occasionally, and the other court ladies don't like her to fight like this.In fact, Gai Rong'er believed what Aunt Xiao said, and with Ling Qiao'er's character, she might be at a disadvantage if assigned an errand.

Aunt Xiao babbled about the palace rules for a while, and then asked everyone to go back to the house. When everyone entered the room, Aunt Ning followed, "Girls, take a good rest today. When I see the Empress Dowager tomorrow You are all in good spirits, the girls are very lucky this time, if the Empress Dowager Ming'er takes a fancy to it, it will be your blessing to serve the ancestors."

"Auntie, will the maids meet with the Empress Dowager before they are assigned?" Su Ya leaned forward and asked.

"Not every batch of court ladies has this blessing, and the rules of the ancestors are not like this. I don't know why the empress dowager wants to see you this time. In our palace, the status of a court lady is related to your master's status. Yes, so tomorrow, if the Empress Dowager finds her and recruits her to the Compassionate Palace, the status of the girls in the palace will be considered to be elevated." After speaking, she let everyone rest, and Aunt Xiao withdrew.

At this moment, Yin Ruolan walked up to Gai Ronger, "Sister, if you are selected by the Empress Dowager, and you go to the Empress Dowager's Palace as an errand, you will be able to see the Emperor, right? Aunt Xiao said that the Emperor has to go to the Empress Dowager every day." Greetings from the Empress Dowager." Yin Ruolan asked hopefully.

Gai Rong'er smiled helplessly: "Maybe, sister Ruolan, you are really looking forward to seeing the emperor with all your heart."

Gai Rong'er turned to look at Ling Qiao'er, she had turned over and lay on the bed.Gai Ronger smiled, and she didn't know why she especially liked to pay attention to this indifferent girl.

According to the rules of the palace, the Empress Dowager and concubines come to the Palace of Compassion and Peace every day to greet the Empress Dowager. If there is no special order, the concubines who have greeted them can leave, and the emperor will be in the Hall of Supreme Harmony every day. In the early court, in the next court, the Compassionate Ning Palace greeted the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.

The next morning, after the court ceremony, the young emperor Xuanye came to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to greet the ancestors and the queen mother as usual. After greeting the queen mother, the empress dowager said, "Your majesty, if you have anything to do today, move back first." No, let's go to the Royal Garden with Ai's family first."

"Yes, old ancestor, grandson obeys the order." Xuan Ye responded, and asked again: "Is the emperor's grandmother going to visit the imperial garden today?"

"The Ai family has such an elegant spirit, so it's enough to let Su Mo'er accompany you. How dare you bother you, a busy man." The Empress Dowager said with a smile, "Twenty new maids have been recruited this time. Seeing that you don’t have enough maids in the palace, Aunt Huang and Aunt Xi allowed them to go out of the palace and go home at the end of last year and didn’t make up any more, so I wanted you to personally choose two who you like to serve.”

"Yes, my grandson understands."

As they spoke, a group of people got up and walked towards the imperial garden.

Besides, Aunt Xiao of the Wanchun Pavilion in the Royal Garden has been waiting here with all the maids. In the morning, Aunt Xiao gave a lecture at Yinshi. Everyone had breakfast and arrived at the gate of the Royal Garden before Maoshi. The eunuch in charge of the imperial garden has already received the order and has been waiting here to welcome them to the pavilion in the garden.Gai Rong'er entered the imperial garden for the first time, and it was quite novel. She had never seen flowers, plants and trees in this palace, but she never expected that they were all gathered here. It was spring again, and the greenery also climbed up the entire garden, so she couldn't help admiring it secretly The beauty of the garden.

Everyone was waiting, when they heard a father-in-law shouting loudly from behind: "The emperor, the empress dowager, the empress dowager is here."

ah?emperor?Gai Ronger's heart skipped a beat, could it be that the emperor is here today?
