Difficult to be a Concubine - C317 Chalcedony (VI)
However, she saw that the colorful ladies who had already got off the car were fat and thin, their moth brows lightly swept over their shoulders, and their tiny mouths were like cherry blossoms. Suddenly, they became very unconfident.
“Aunt, is this really good?” She looked down at herself nervously.
Aunt Zhong replied with a smile, “Miss, this dress looks really good. Your family background is too shallow. Once you enter the palace, it’s better not to stick your head out first. But you’re pretty. If you take a closer look, you’ll definitely be able to catch the emperor’s eye.”
She lowered her voice again and said, “Miss, anyone who enters the palace and receives a favour first will most likely live less than a year or two. Some of them won’t even survive more than a month or two.”
Mu Fengchai’s hand that was holding the handkerchief tightened, her face paled.
She regretted it for a moment, but the arrow was already in the bow, so she had no choice but to fire!
The ladies were sent to the Palace by a steward’s aunt, and after being taught by the aunts, they were allowed to take part in the re-election.
There were three other girls in the same room as Mu Fengchai.
They were, the youngest daughter of the Office of the Crown Prince’s Department, Guo Xiufen, the Minister’s granddaughter, and Imperial Concubine Shu’s niece. They were also the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor, the Idle Consort in the palace, and the niece of the former Princess Xiangyang — Li Yulan.
Aunt Zhong had told her all of this in secret.
Mu Fengchai took a close look, the person called Zhang Shuya had a refined look, and Guo Xiufen’s appearance was extremely clear. Only the Idle Consort’s niece felt weird, and the left and right side of her looked at Mu Fengchai with an unpleasant expression.
“Oi, that little girl over there, come over here and help me pour some water to wash my feet.”
Li Yulan pointed at Mu Fengchai arrogantly.
Mu Fengchai clearly knew hshe identity, yet she still submitted. With an indifferent expression, he asked: “Why!”
Li Yulan raised her micrognathia high up, and said proudly, “Humph, based on the fact that my aunt is a consort, my maternal grandfather is the Grand Preceptor, and my father is the official of the Grand Pu Temple!”
Just as Mu Fengchai was about to go back, Guo Xiufen could not help but mutter to herself, “Is it Xian, or is it idling?
She was extremely annoyed at Li Yulan’s actions.
Zhang Shuya was a quiet person, she wasn’t like Guo Xiufen, who couldn’t stay calm. Not long after she left the house, she turned back and followed a palace maid.
Forget about the palace maid who went to serve Li Yulan, Zhang Shuya walked over to Mu Fengchai’s side and sat down next to her.
“My little sister, I recognize you. My father is from the Office of the Crown Prince, my surname is Zhang, my surname is Zhang, your brother is studying in the Office of the Crown Prince, my father often praises him, and your older cousin your father appreciates him a lot.”
Undoubtedly, Zhang Shuya was someone who had come with a plan. The moment she appeared, he played a good hand.
Mu Fengchai’s heart raced against her chest as she replied with a smile, “There’s no reason why even though you know me, I don’t have any impression of you. So you actually know my two brothers!”
Zhang Shuya nodded his head and said, “That day, even though I wasn’t able to attend you when you were your age, my mother had gone off with the wife of Office of the Crown Prince’s wine giver and told me about it after coming back. By the way, since you’re still more than half a year old, you have the cheek to call yourself big sister.”
Mu Fengchai was thinking that she could not stay in this room forever, so she took the initiative to talk to her.
She smiled shyly and said, “Elder sister Xiu Ya.”
Guo Xiufen, who was sitting beside her bed, listened in on the conversation. She told the two of them, “Hah! Both of you have to call me sister!”
Saying that, she walked over clapping her hands and said happily: “I know, your cousin is from Mme Marquis Wen. She is on good terms with my mother and sister, we have connections sometimes.”
Mu Fengchai laughed from the bottom of her heart, her older cousin was truly a sharp mouth but also a weak heart.
The more she spoke, the more vicious she felt. In fact, her heart was the softest of all. She was afraid that her scheme would be involved in this.
Otherwise, how could two of the four young girls in the room be willing to befriend her, or perhaps temporarily form an alliance, for this or that reason?
“My cousin also mentioned you to me. She never would have thought that fate would allow you to live together with me today.”
“That’s right!” Guo Xiufen sat on the other side of Mu Fengchai with a smile.
“I heard that you’re really good at Lil ‘Red?”
“Yes, when I was young, my cousin found a woman embroidery lady from Suzhou to teach me how to learn embroidery.”
“Hey, Little Sister Feng Chai, you know Su Xiu?” I’ll have to ask for some advice from you in the future! ” It seemed that not only did Guo Shuya understand poetry, she even understood the Dao of the Crimson.
Mu Fengchai replied with a smile, and remembered this matter in her heart.
“Humph!” A nest of snake rats! ” Li Yulan, who was isolated, angrily threw the embroidered pillow on the bed to the ground.
Guo Xiufeng was immediately incensed. “Who are you showing your face to? Which one of you isn’t a daughter of a rich family? On what grounds should I see your face?”
“I’m not throwing your face away. I want you to meddle in other people’s business?” Li Yulan immediately pushed her back and continued to hack at Mu Fengchai with her jealous little eyes.
Mu Fengchai had always been someone who benefited the most, so she naturally did not want to lose out and also said: “What are you all looking at!”
“I prefer to look. Who cares where I look.” Li Yulan was still courting death.
Mu Fengchai glanced at her and said: “I don’t care about the surrounding area, but you are not allowed to look at me, what right do you have to look at me?”
“Hmph, she’s just a poor little janitor’s younger sister. What’s the difference between her and those peddlers?” Li Yulan’s heart was burning with anger.
“You want to say that the rule set by the late emperor was wrong?” Mu Fengchai rolled his eyes at her.
Li Yulan was stupefied, then she saw that the three of them had looks of contempt, and said angrily: “What do you guys mean by that? Fine, the three of you actually dare to join hands to bully me. Just you wait, I’ll definitely tell my aunt. ”
In the end, her words were met with even more contempt from the three of them.
Seeing that, Li Yulan was furious, and rushed out the door.
Seeing this, Guo Xiufen smiled and said, “It’s actually just an idiot.”
Mu Fengchai replied indifferently: “Did I say anything wrong? I didn’t say anything wrong. ”
Zhang Shuya laughed, “No wonder that person back then…”
The three of them smiled at each other, knowing what she meant.
Princess Xiangyang was obviously a smart person, but she was only able to get a Idle Consort in the end. It sounded like she had levelled up, but in reality, she had gone from a legal wife to a concubine.
If Li Yulan wasn’t stupid, then what was it? Not only did she not know how to restrain herself, she even made enemies for her aunt’s sake.
This kind of small conflict occurred occasionally, but fortunately for them, the four of them were still relatively safe. The steward and aunt of the Sage Storage Palace would bring people over to teach the various young ladies’ etiquette every day.
Mu Fengchai had seen it before, the colored girls from the commoners had suffered under the hands of these stewards and aunts, the Mu family had to bribe the palace maids and eunuchs because of her entry into the palace. She had never suffered before, so the stewards had been merciful towards her.
Mu Fengchai wanted to become stronger even more. The more she saw, the more she understood, that as long as she was strong, she would not be bullied.
In the beginning, she had entered the palace for such a reason. However, she didn’t deny that she still harbored a small intention of gaining a place in her heart.
But the longer she stayed in the palace, the calmer she was told.
Following the occurrence of this matter, the tiny unspeakable thoughts in Mu Fengchai’s heart were finally extinguished without mercy.
At that time, there were a total of four girls in the room. She and Zhang Shuya had both been conferred the title of Baolin, and Guo Xiufen and Li Yulan had both been chosen.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month and a half had passed since the three of them entered the palace.
After Mu Fengchai became the Baolin, she had never been assigned to the same courtyard as Zhang Shuya, so she had already made plans in her heart. When she first made her decision, she did not shine, and under the pressure of a few beauties, she played around every day in a leisurely manner, embroidering with the Baolin beside her. Tomorrow, she would once again pull the hand of the already beautiful Guo Xiufen, as well as Zhang Shuya who was also a Baolin, and they would either fly to butterflies or swing together.
Zhang Shuya could not bear to see her so heartless.
One day, three people were on the swing. Since the people in the palace had never set their eyes on them, the three of them were at ease.
“Big sister Xiu Ya, big sister Xiu Fen, help me push it. I want to go very high.”
Mu Fengchai giggled. The autumn afternoon’s sunshine was always so gentle and emotional.
“Hurry up, I want to go higher.”
Zhang Shuya looked at Mu Fengchai who had been pounced on, and said worriedly: “Little Sister Feng Chai, you’re already very high.”
“Not enough, not enough. Before I entered the palace, I asked my cousin, what would happen if I missed her in the palace? “Then find a place to swing. If you swing too high, you’ll be able to see too far. Perhaps, you’ll be able to see where she lives!”
She clearly replied very cheerfully with a bright smile on her face, but that smile was really heart-wrenching for no reason at all.
Zhang Shuya was momentarily lost in thought. Guo Xiufen opened her mouth slightly and turned to look in a certain direction, but all she saw was the overlapping fake mountains and the dancing shadows of the trees!
The corners of her eyes were slightly wet. If they could enter the palace, who wouldn’t miss their loved ones?
Guo Xiufen looked at Mu Fengchai, who was still strutting around high and mighty, and was actually quite envious of him.
She also wanted to have such a good older sister to protect her. It was a pity, because Guo Family had countless daughters, and descendants were the most precious and rarest, girls were the most worthless in Guo Family, and having too many sisters was not necessarily a good thing. For example, her family.
“Ah, I see it. I think I see the roof of my cousin’s house.”
Liar.
Mu Fengchai had never really seen it, but she had.
Wuu wuu, cousin. She really misses home. I really miss her!
However, in the days since she had entered the palace, she had already learned to wear a mask. Although in the eyes of others, it was still naive and naive, she didn’t know what to feel for her worries about.
Su Ruirui, who was originally passing by the imperial flower garden, heard the familiar voice and his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He hastened his steps and headed in the same direction, but did his Xiao Sangsang come to the palace?
Was it her?
Su Ruirui’s heart was moved. A young girl wearing a pink dress with her sleeves fluttering, laughed like bells, swayed along with the swing, and her hair that was as fine as ink satin joyfully flew in the air.
His Xiao Sangsang?
Su Ruirui felt as though his heart was about to burst, his restless heart was thumping wildly, yelling and shouting, rushing over, quickly rushing over. His heart was filled with longing, wasn’t it just to hug her, leaving her behind, no one could stop his feet …
“Your majesty!”
Fan Yingde’s voice sounded out at an inopportune time.
“Humph!”
Su Ruirui said with a cold face. Ever since he had become a Monarch, the dignity on his body grew day by day.
