Episode 258
Thinking of this, Pei Huizhao turned his head and asked Chen Xiang: "Have you ever brought that gift?"

"Don't worry, my lord, the gift has already been packed in a small box by the servant, look—" Saying that, Chen Xiang took out a palm-sized rectangular paper box from his sleeve.

Seeing this, Pei Huizhao nodded slightly and continued walking forward.The layout of the harem in the Southern Qi Dynasty is very regular. After leaving the West Sixth Palace, walking up the corridor, you will reach the East Sixth Palace. The deepest part of the East Sixth Palace is the Yikang Hall where Concubine Ning lives.

After Pei Huizhao reported his identity and intention to the servant who was guarding the door, some palace servants came to lead Pei Huizhao and the two into the garden, and walked slowly up the path paved with blue stones. Pei Huizhao felt as if he had returned to Mingdang Hall couldn't help thinking secretly in her heart: It seems that Concubine Ning likes Mingdang Hall very much, otherwise she wouldn't have arranged this Yikang Hall to look like Mingdang Hall.

While thinking, Pei Huizhao walked, and unknowingly arrived at the entrance of the main hall. Looking at the high hall, Pei Huizhao only felt a sense of solemnity, and instantly felt the difference between Yikang Hall and Mingdang Hall.

That's right, the difference between the two palaces lies in the steps leading to the main hall. Looking around, the Yikang Hall obviously has five more steps than the Mingdang Hall, and it is these five steps that suddenly distance the standing The distance between the people under the steps and the main hall.

If standing under the steps of Mingdang Hall makes people feel that Mingdang Hall is magnificent, then standing under the steps of Yikang Hall makes people feel that Yikang Hall is beyond reach. The difference between them is like clouds and mud.

Just as Pei Huizhao was thinking and waiting for the reply from the palace servants, he suddenly heard a burst of laughter from the hall, followed by a clear female voice: "The concubine is making fun of the concubine again. Apart from dancing, the concubine , I really can’t find anything to please the concubine.”

No need to guess, Pei Huizhao knew that the person who said this was Chen Yanran, and he couldn't help but secretly thought in his heart: It seems that Chen Yanran has been doing well during this time, so that's good, lest she always target her everywhere, and now the two of them are together One is a proud and prosperous lady, and the other is a noble person who has been punished repeatedly. Chen Yanran should not think of her, the daughter of a former imperial doctor, anymore, right?

Just at this time, I heard the maid who had guided Pei Huizhao come out of the main hall, slowly descend the steps, came to Pei Huizhao's side, and said to her: "Please come with your servant."

"Thank you," Pei Huizhao nodded slightly to express his gratitude, and then followed behind the maid, walking up the steps step by step, a total of eleven steps, the closer to the main hall, the more dangerous Pei Huizhao felt, but she was always a woman who refused to give in , so even if there are scourges inside at this time, she will definitely see and see with the fragrance of dust.

Then I heard the palace maid standing at the door and whispering softly: "Your Honorable Ming Dang Palace has arrived."

The hall was suddenly silent, but Ning Muyun was full of momentum at this time, glanced at His Highness's concubine, and said to the maid: "Please come in, Mrs. Hui."

"Yes," the court lady respectfully agreed, and slowly stepped back a few steps, then turned around and motioned to Pei Huizhao, "Your Honor, please—"

Pei Huizhao nodded without saying a word, and walked carefully across the threshold with the fragrance of dust, then walked to the center of the hall with a solemn face, facing Concubine Ning's beautiful body on the high platform, then raised her hands to her forehead, and then slowly folded her palms together, He said respectfully, "My concubine, the concubine of the Ming Dynasty, honored the nobleman to kowtow to the concubine, and the concubine will be a thousand years old."

"Get up quickly," Concubine Ning looked at Pei Huizhao who was kneeling at her highness, and signaled lightly.

"Yes," Pei Huizhao replied softly, but did not get up. Instead, he took out a palm-sized rectangular golden paper box from his sleeve, raised it to his forehead, and said respectfully: "It's the first time for this concubine to visit the concubine. , I was overwhelmed by the concubine's graceful and luxurious aura, this gift is the concubine's wish, please do not dislike it."

"Look at what you girl said—the gift you sent me is too late for me to be happy with, so why would I dislike it?" Dowager Ning smiled and motioned for Nanny Hu to take the things in Pei Huizhao's hands, and at the same time sighed in her heart: After looking at all the concubines of His Highness, only this Huigui is still eye-catching. Since she entered the hall, she has been neither overbearing nor humble, polite and restrained, with a calm momentum and a generous demeanor. She is not like a girl from the village at all, but like a high The concubine of a big family.

Thinking of this, Concubine Ning secretly sighed: It's a pity, such a woman is her enemy of Ning Muyun, otherwise she really wants to take it for her own use.

So Concubine Ning looked at Pei Huizhao with a bit more sharp eyes, hit by such sharpness, Pei Huizhao instantly realized Concubine Ning's hostility, although Concubine Ning was very good at concealing it, and that sharpness only took a few seconds , but the frightening situation after entering the palace has made Pei Huizhao develop the habit of being extremely sensitive to hostility.

Therefore, Pei Huizhao carefully sat in the seat farthest from Ning Muyun. She was low in status and came late, so such a seat couldn't be better.

Next, Concubine Ning and all the concubines said to you, and I laughed at each other. Pei Huizhao can hide as far as she can in such a scene. Observe the crowd.

Concubine Ning is undoubtedly the person with the deepest and highest status in the city. This can be seen from the fact that she can easily start a topic and quickly end a topic. Although it sounds like those topics are just commonplace, Pei Huizhao thought: The dignified concubine of a country invites the concubine so cautiously, but the purpose is not to talk about the daily life, right?

Then Pei Huizhao's eyes were attracted by a woman in a dark green flower cage skirt. I saw that she did not participate in other people's jokes, but when she was called, she continued a few words, but what she said was Extremely patient, that is, she perfunctory everyone, but also makes people unable to detect her impatience.

Pei Huizhao couldn't help looking over carefully, seeing that the woman was at the head of all the concubines, Pei Huizhao immediately guessed that she must be Concubine Shu Li Ruomei, and couldn't help but think to himself: there is such a calm, calm, and peaceful woman in the palace here. Lan Xinhui's kind woman is really rare.

Thinking of this, Pei Huizhao suddenly thought of the woman who was also calm in the Yunxiu Palace draft, and couldn't help but looked not far away, and happened to see Tan Qiuhua next to Concubine Xian.
