The snow on the wide palace road has been cleaned up, but the glazed tiles are covered with a layer of white. Under the warm sun, it looks like crystal clear printed on them.

Please An Gangsan and Kunhe in the palace.

The queen was helped into the inner hall by Jinyu. She lay on the couch sideways, gently stroked the pearl hairpin on her head with one hand. Thinking of Rong's face when she just greeted her, she smiled on her former dignified face:

"What joke did Yu Jinggong make again?"

The story of Rongpin taking a slave to favor has spread throughout the harem, especially the palace maid who almost lost her life again and again, and the palace maid who served the harem was afraid of the three words Yujing Palace.

Jin Yu stood aside, fiddled with the charcoal fire, and then said:

"Last night, Yujing Palace had another quarrel, and a little eunuch died."

"I have already inquired about it. The little eunuch and the palace maid entered the palace together. I am afraid that it will be used by Concubine Rong to vent her anger again."

The queen's hands on the book were twelve and twirling them. Hearing this, she raised her eyebrows:

"Pin Rong is getting back to life as he lives, and he still thinks he was just entering the mansion?"

She said something as ridiculous as she was, and Jinyu smiled and didn't respond.

The master can comment freely, but she can't be a slave.

She thought for a while and said hesitantly: "I heard that the emperor personally went there yesterday for the woman. It seems that the emperor must have really had some thoughts about the woman."

"What do you want to say?" the queen glanced at her sideways.

"Are you not worried that the woman will really be favored?"

Jin Yu frowned lightly, a little worried. After all, it would make the emperor see her in person, and it would be not easy to see this palace maid.

The queen covered her mouth and laughed carelessly:

"Jinyu, you have to remember that there is only one master in this palace, that is, our emperor, and the others are just slaves."

"You have to deliver what he wants, and you have to give him happiness."

"The people in the harem are favored by the emperor, and the people whom the emperor dislikes are the ones that I hate. Therefore, if I sit in this position, even if the concubine Shu is favored by this, she must come to pay tribute to me honestly."

Her honor was given by the emperor, but it was just because she was tactful.

She would not destroy the Great Wall like Rongpin.

Jinyu pursed her lips: "But that woman is just a slave."

"For the Emperor, who is not a slave?"

The queen found Jinyu's words a little funny: "Who is the emperor's favor? Today, Concubine Shu, Concubine Rong tomorrow, and there will be a new person in the future, right? The harem is too big, and it will have to be full of flowers to make it lively."

Speaking of this, the queen sat up and said:

"The reason for this is that there are too few people in the harem. Only those faces have been watched back and forth for four or five years. How can you not get tired of it?"

"I look at it every day and feel bored."

Jinyu listened to the Empress's words and was amused and helpless: "Why is the Empress not jealous at all?"

"Isn't this the woman's family like this? I have a more noble identity than them, and I am content with this kind of person." The queen smiled and looked at Jinyu: "I feel that I am doing well."

Isn’t this person pursuing all his life?

She likes this noble identity. The emperor gave her, what else is there to be dissatisfied with her?

She glanced at the dressing table, her eyes fell on the white jade phoenix hairpin, and sighed a little regretfully: "I heard that woman is a pity. The hairpin just given by the emperor should be the most suitable for her. It's a pity that I haven't seen her after so long."

"The Empress wants to see her, so she just asks her to go to Yujing Palace Xuanren, and I don't dare to stop him."

The queen glanced at her lightly, then lay back, and said carelessly:

"If she can't even come to pay my respects to me, it's not worth the effort of me."

Jinyu slapped: "The Empress has its own conclusions in her heart, I will no longer make any mistakes."

No one knew the conversation between Kun and the palace master and servant, but Yu Jing Palace on the other side seemed to have become quiet.

Ayu was seriously injured and it would take two or three months to recover completely. With the emperor's imperial edict, the imperial doctor came almost every two days, so Zhou Qi took care of her.

This time, Rong Ping thought clearly or something, but she didn't make things difficult for her anymore.

February passed, and Ayu was also lying on the bed on New Year's Eve in the middle. In the past, three of them hid together and said auspicious words. This year, there were only two left. The atmosphere was a bit stagnant, but after all, Ayu's injuries were also improving. Zhou Qi was completely relieved.

As spring is in full bloom, the heavy winter clothes on your body are removed, and you have changed into a flowing and relaxed spring skirt, revealing the woman's graceful figure.

Ayu leaned against the head of the bed, and the warm light shone on her. Her body seemed to have become soft after lying for two months.

The calm during this period made Ayu feel a little disbelief. She didn't believe that Rongpin would let her go so easily. She frowned and asked Zhou Qi: "Is there any movement in the main hall?"

Zhou Qi packed the house and sat next to her:

"No, but something big happened in the palace."

Ayu looked up at her: "What's the matter?"

"It has been almost three years since the emperor ascended the throne. According to the ancestral system, it is time for the talent show. A few days ago, the Empress personally mentioned this matter to the emperor. Now the imperial edict has been issued, and the masters of each palace have stopped fighting these days."

After saying that, Zhou Qi secretly glanced outside before lowering her voice:

"I don't know how many jade artifacts my master has broken in the past few days. I heard it is because my master's legitimate sister is also on the list of show girls."

A Yu's heart broke out.

Draft?

In the past few months, she also figured it out that the emperor's thoughts about her were just a bit novel.

If a new concubine enters the palace, what is she a slave?

However, when she heard Zhou Qi's second half of the sentence, she was still a little surprised: "Legitimate sister?"

She frowned her eyebrows in confusion.

Now that Concubine Rong's master's favor is no longer as good as before, the legitimate sister came to the palace to compete for her favor, which could also continue the family honor. Shouldn't Concubine Rong be angry?

After thinking for a while, she said, "The master has a bad relationship with that legitimate sister?"

"It's not just bad. The master and the legitimate sister were not born to the same mother at all! I heard that the master's biological mother had passed away long ago."

A trace of understanding flashed in Ayu's eyes.

No wonder.

According to Rongpin's family, if she was favored by herself, she could still get support from her family. Once the legitimate sister favored her, she would probably change the focus of the entire family and Rongpin would completely become an abandoned son.

Ayu moved, she could now go to the ground.

"The draft has begun?"

"It's already started after the imperial edict, but it will take one month to enter the palace to choose."

The issue of the talent show involves a lot. Women of appropriate age from all over the country need to enter the palace to run for the election. After screening back and forth, only a few hundred people can enter the palace to choose.

Ayu asked again: "When will the beautiful girl enter the palace?"

Before being sent to the palace for election, the girl in the palace needs to stay in the first half of a month, which is used to teach the rules.

This Zhou Qi asked: "Seven days later."

"Who is the person in charge?"

"Eunuch Zhou from Zhongsheng Palace and Madam Zhang next to the Empress."

Ayu lay on the bed, pursing her lips and thinking.

If nothing unexpected happens, based on the life experience of the Chen family of Rongpin's mother tribe, Miss Chen would definitely be able to be selected into the palace through the palace.

But I'm afraid there will be an accident.

Ayu closed her eyes and suppressed her anxious thoughts.

Three days later, Doctor Zhang told Ayu that her injuries had been completely healed.

Zhou Qi pouted, watched Ayu get up and change into a clean dress, and then went to the main hall to pay tribute.

She pulled Ayu: "Ayu..."

She was a little worried.

Ayu looked back and looked at her calmly: "I am in Yujing Palace for one day, and I will be her slave for one day. After my injury is healed, I should go and pay tribute."

Zhou Qi understood the truth, but she just couldn't swallow that.

Ayu glanced around her eyes and patted her hand obscurely:

"She must be anxious now. I'll send it to her so she will have a chance."

Miss Chen was threatening more than her. At this time, Rong Ping had no choice.

Two months later, Ayu approached the main hall again, but she couldn't have thoughts of being like a different life. When the palace maid guarding the gate saw her, she quickly lowered her head. One of them went in to report and quickly walked out:

"Sister Ayu, my master lets you in."

The inner hall is still full of incense burners and blue smoke, exquisite and gorgeous. Ayu crosses the triple curtain and does not look up at the person on the couch, but just dresses in a low body:

"I would like to pay my respects to my master."
