court ladies begging for joy

Chapter 7

How this night passed, the person who fell asleep naturally didn't know, everything was safe in the dream, opened his eyes, the room was changed, as if last night was just a dream, not what happened in reality.

Wen Xiaowan rubbed her constricted head, feeling dizzy as if she had lost weight. After barely sitting up, she reluctantly opened her eyes. Before she could see clearly, she heard a shrill voice beside the bed. , "Aunt Wan'er, are you awake? The old man of the company asked the little one to guard you here, waiting for you to wake up, and send you back to Yongxiao Palace."

It was a little eunuch in gray clothes. Fortunately, Wen Xiaowan's heart was as strong as her nerves. There was a sudden sound, her heart beat fast for a second, and she immediately reacted.

"The old man in the company?" Wen Xiaowan was incapable of responding to this address.

Nie Jinyan's face, which only has small wrinkles in the corners of the eyes, is not so amazing, but it has nothing to do with the word 'old man'.

"Yes, yes, the old man of the company accompanied the emperor to go to court in the morning. Before leaving, he specially asked the little one to take care of you, Aunt Wan'er."

The palace calls qualified maids "aunts". Although the original owner, Wen Wan'er, is young, she was once favored and pregnant because of her following master, concubine Jia.

The master was promoted to the position of concubine, and she was given a title, and Wen Wan'er was also appointed to the palace of the master, that is, the grand lady in charge of the first palace, starting from the sixth-rank palace lady.

In Yongxiao Palace, she is almost the highest-ranking palace lady except for an elderly nanny who is equal to her.

——In this forbidden palace with strict hierarchy and full of power struggles, most of the slaves’ promotions are directed to their masters—sell out their masters to join others or follow a master with all their hearts.

A court lady is better than an eunuch, and there is one last way, which is the dragon bed that Wen Xiaowan abandoned last night.

When Nie Jinyan left, Wen Xiaowan frowned, so the matter of recommending herself as a pillow mat, is it a success or a failure?

Annoyed, Wen Xiaowan raised her hands at the same time and slammed them on both sides of her legs.

The little eunuch who accompanied him seemed to have not seen it, lowered his head slightly, and only said after Wen Xiaowan finished venting, "Sigong, the old man asked the little one to tell aunt that this palace is deep. If aunt wants to live For a long time, you need to be careful in everything, sometimes, the company and other old people can't care about you."

Wen Xiaowan grabbed the hands covered by the brocade quilt on both sides of her legs, slowly let go, turned her head quickly, stared closely at the little eunuch, and said anxiously: "Did Nie Jinyan say this?"

With Nie Jinyan's confession, her troubles last night were not in vain.

This is to tell her repeatedly, don't make too much trouble, in general, you can take care of her.Sometimes, it should be a very special time, let her learn to be smarter.

When the little eunuch suddenly heard Wen Xiaowan calling Nie Jinyan's name, he was terrified, raised his slightly drooping head, and almost changed color.

Wen Xiaowan also realized that she had slipped up a little bit, but she couldn't make out the title of "company and his old man", forgive her for not being able to call it "company".

"The company... what else did he say, the company?"

Wen Xiaowan waved her hand, signaling the little eunuch to step back. The dress she wore last night looked like a fairy from a distance. If she was really hugged by a man, she would definitely be able to seduce him physically, but this dress is like gray The girl's pumpkin carriage won't make it past twelve o'clock.At daybreak, in this deep palace, it looks very obvious at first glance - it can compete with the courtesan of the brothel.

The little eunuch immediately retreated to the outside of the cubicle, "The old man prepared clothes for my aunt and put them on the bedside."

Wen Xiaowan pursed her lips and smiled, Nie Jinyan had a paralyzed face, unexpectedly he was quite careful.To achieve this position today, it really is not just relying on domineering.

After Wen Xiaowan changed her clothes, she walked out of the hibiscus tent. Facing the vanity mirror a few steps away, she combed her hair, and managed to do a bun used by a court lady—this was the only thing she learned during her three days in the palace. .

She can't even comb her hair well, and she has to ask others for advice, then even 'full of flaws' can't describe her.

After Wen Xiaowan took care of everything, she went outside the partition, and the little eunuch who was waiting there greeted her and said, "Aunt Wan'er, the old man asked me to send you back to Yongxiao Palace. Also, about the matter of the concubine, let me explain it slowly." That's good, the old man said that the key point to start is the Queen Mother's [-]th birthday, and for other things, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years."

Nie Jinyan is very skillful, he guessed that the concubine Jia lost her son, he must have seen clearly from the sidelines.

Wen Xiaowan paused when she stepped over the threshold.She pondered for a while, then turned her head and took a serious look at the little eunuch who was following behind him, and said, "How long have you been with the company?"

Wen Xiaowan's question was very subtle, there are many good people in the palace, let alone being by Nie Jinyan's side, Nie Jinyan can delegate important tasks.

The little eunuch immediately understood the meaning of Wen Xiaowan's words, and said with a smile: "The little one has been with the company and the old man for ten years since he entered the palace."

It has been ten years, which is not a short period of time. It should be the confidant that Nie Jinyan has cultivated.

"I don't know what your father-in-law's name is?"

As the name suggests, Wen Xiaowan smiled gently and politely.

After leaving Nie Jinyan's room, it was after last night that she entered the palace and her life began.

If it comes, it will be safe, and the fittest will survive. She wants to act like a court lady.

Nie Jinyan is right, if she wants to live a long life, she needs to be careful in everything.She even crawled on the eunuch's bed, what else can she not stretch or bend.

"Aunt Wan'er is being polite, you can just call me little Fuzi."

Wen Xiaowan nodded, and made a shallow blessing, "I will ask Eunuch Fu to take care of you in the future."

The little eunuch Fuzi quickly took a step back, "Aunt Wan'er is too polite, it is a small blessing to work for the company and the elderly."

Wen Xiaowan smiled and didn't say anything more. Xiao Fuzi led him through several long green brick and stone roads and led him to the gate of Yongxiao Palace.

Along the way, since leaving the previous courtyard, Wen Xiaowan and Xiao Fuzi kept a distance of five meters.Little Fuzi is in front and she is behind.It seems that two people who don't know each other at all are just walking in tandem.

When he arrived at the gate of Yongxiao Palace, Xiao Fuzi lowered his head and passed by without even signaling Wen Xiaowan with his eyes, and went around to another corridor.

Wen Xiaowan stopped at the gate of Yongxiao Palace, where the palace gate was tightly closed, and looked at Xiao Fuzi's back as he left.She understood what Xiao Fuzi meant, and guessed that this was also what Nie Jinyan meant.

--avoid arousing suspicion.

Until the time comes, the relationship between her and Nie Jinyan cannot be exposed.Neither of them is good.If it was made public, Nie Jinyan would frequently hinder her if he wanted to protect her, instead it would be better if the relationship was sparse.

This night, Wen Xiaowan had a hard time, and neither did her master, Concubine Jia.Sitting by the window, I didn't sleep all night.

"Jinlan,"

Seeing that the sun was high and the news she expected hadn't come, Concubine Jia couldn't sit still, so she called another maidservant and asked, "Wan'er hasn't come back yet?"

Because it was during the confinement period, the concubine's dress was very low-key.

Wearing a half-new light purple halo gauze fairy dress covering the body, hibiscus flowers are engraved on the front, and the long hair is lightly tied up with a jade hairpin. There is no other decoration, but it still brings out a delicate temperament of a weak willow and Fufeng Come.

The empress concubine looks lovely and pitiful.It is as fresh as the dewdrops on the petals of a white lily, crystal clear, beautiful and haggard, as if it will be blown away by the wind at any time, crumbling, releasing a strange beauty.

She is like Lin Daiyu in "A Dream of Red Mansions", she is very suitable for slightly frowning, like smoke and mist, and the sadness in her eyebrows and eyes cannot be removed.

Jin Lan, who was standing outside the carved partition, heard the master's inquiry, hurriedly stepped in, and after leaning over to salute, said: "Return to the master, sister Wan'er has not come back yet, and there is no news from outside, the emperor has arrived as scheduled." Went to court in the early morning, and at this time, I am reviewing papers in the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

Jinlan is the same age as Wan'er, and she was born a few months earlier than Wan'er in terms of birthday.But in the palace, the names of sisters have nothing to do with age.Rank and status determine who is the elder sister and who is the younger sister.

Both she and Wan'er served by Huang Peiying's concubine since childhood, but she entered the mansion half a year later than Wan'er. When she arrived at the side of Huang Peiying, who was still the second daughter of the Huang's family, Wan'er was already a must-have for Huang Peiying. girl.

After Huang Peiying was selected into the palace, they accompanied her into the palace together.Wan'er's grade has been lowering her by half a grade. No matter how hard she fights, she can't win her to be a 'sister'.

For example this time.

She is obviously more beautiful than Wan'er. Although she can't dance, she can play the xylophone very well, and she can sing beautifully. She also has the capital to attract the emperor's favor, but her master didn't even think about it. She sent Wan'er there.

She didn't say anything, but felt very uncomfortable in her heart.Last night, she was so nervous that she didn't sleep all night.

I can't tell what kind of mood I have.

I hope that Wan'er can hook up with the emperor, so that their place will not become a cold palace and be bullied by other palaces all day long.

She didn't want Wan'er to hook up with the emperor, and even wondered if the emperor would hate Wan'er's frivolous and vulgar behavior, and executed Wan'er in a fit of anger.

If this was the case, it might still be cold here for a while, but her status would rise.

In this Yongxiao Palace, there is no need to call anyone 'sister' anymore.Perhaps, in the future, her master will use this trick again, and then she can... go.

Your Majesty, thinking of Jin'an Emperor Longyao's handsome face, Jin Lan's heart couldn't help beating wildly, and her cheeks blushed with embarrassment——Huaichun girl, who wouldn't want it.

So, after a night of entanglement, the latter kind of thought obviously defeated the former one, and she wished that Wan'er would never come back.

She went out early in the morning to inquire about the news, and knowing that everything was as usual, she was not worried at all in her heart, but was secretly happy and laughed out loud.

It is estimated that Wan'er failed to climb the dragon bed and angered the emperor, so she has already been dealt with.

Dealing with a servant in the palace is like crushing an ant, silently.On the contrary, if the emperor really favored any woman, it would be a stone that caused a thousand waves, and it would have spread throughout the palace long ago.
