Chapter 4. Entering the Palace
Author: There is a rabbit in the south
An Lingrong made a small box of goose pear tents based on the prescription in his memory.
This incense was originally made by Zhou Ehuang and has been lost for a long time. She had been debugging in her previous life before she was worthy of this ancient prescription. The emperor once praised her for this incense.
An Lingrong asked Dill to sell this incense to the Treasure Pavilion. If you get a person who knows the goods, you will definitely be able to sell it at a high price.
"Miss, news came from Zhenbao Pavilion that the incense was sold at a price of 500 taels, and the shopkeeper drew 30% of the profit, and the remaining 350 taels were the profit of the lady." Dill walked in from the outside with a silver note.
"The servant outside said that the shopkeeper told him that if the lady has any other incense to sell during this period, it would be a big deal for him to run errands. Don't look for other families."
An Lingrong smiled and took out another box of dew fragrance: "In two days, the teacher in the palace will be here. There are not many fragrances that can be sold, and it will only be two days."
Dill should be, go out to pass the message.
An Lingrong put the silver notes in his heart, and he felt a little at ease.
With money in your hands, you can have more confidence.
However, there are still many things!
An Lingrong calculated the days. In his previous life, he entered the palace on September 15th. Now he has only been twenty days, so time is tight.
The formula of dew fragrance is common. Even if you don’t give it, you can find it out with the nose of the perfumer. After a long time, An Lingrong simply packed the recipe and sold it to Zhenbao Pavilion.
After a few days, An Lingrong earned thousands of taels.
She changed the silver bills and put them on the bottom of the box, bought the luggage she had to bring to the palace, and prepared a small box of silver for rewards.
In addition, I calculated the additional reward for Aunt Xiao. If the money is not left in the public account, Aunt Xiao can naturally be included in her small treasury.
"All things at home will depend on my aunt in the future. If my aunt does a good job, she will have more money in the future." An Lingrong warned Aunt Xiao.
In recent days, Aunt Xiao has understood that this young lady is very capable and can fly to the branches in the palace in the future. When she heard this, she quickly expressed her loyalty: "Don't worry, I will definitely do it."
Take good care of the lady.”
An Lingrong nodded and expressed satisfaction with Aunt Xiao's tactfulness.
In the blink of an eye, eunuchs came to the palace to announce the imperial edict.
Because An Lingrong's family was not in the capital, the eunuchs who had announced the imperial eunuchs were divided into two groups. Now the eunuchs who came to Qingfengyuan were the eunuchs from Danei.
"In accordance with the heavens, the emperor ordered that Songyang County Magistrate Anbi Huai Nu and An Lingrong, who was granted the title of the seventh rank of official position, agreed to enter the country on September 15th, and he was awarded this."
"Thank you, Emperor Long."
In this life, An Lingrong did not live in Zhen’s house, and naturally he did not receive teachings with Zhen Huan Yu Fangruo. However, the aunt who came to teach her etiquette was also an acquaintance.
"I have seen the little master." Fenruo stepped forward and bowed and greeted her.
"Hello, aunt." An Lingrong also gave a greeting.
The eunuch who announced the imperial edict smiled and nodded with praise: "Aunt Fenruo has always been responsible for the emperor's internal affairs and rarely shows up. This time the emperor ordered her to teach the little master. The little master is very lucky."
"If you have a hard time, it's better to sit down and have a tea in the outside room." An Lingrong signaled to dill to give me a reward.
The eunuch took the purse and touched it, feeling satisfied: "No, I'm going to go to the next house quickly."
"Since that's the case, I won't leave my father-in-law for more. My father-in-law walks slowly." An Lingrong stopped.
After seeing off the eunuch, An Lingrong arranged Fenruo in the west wing room and began etiquette teaching that afternoon.
With the preparation of her previous life, An Lingrong learned very quickly. Fenruo always praised her for her intelligence, which not only saved a lot of time, but also became a lot closer to Fenruo.
She had already understood the situation in the palace almost all, and An Lingrong did not ask any more questions in this life. But when talking about the queen, Fenruo did not hide her disgust at all.
"My little master, when you enter the palace, you have to stay away from the queen. Don't get too close to her." Fenruo frowned and said of the two queens, his expression was completely different. "That person looks kind, but actually has the most thoughts.
However, if it weren't for the glory of Ulanara, the Queen Mother might not have been willing to let her sit in the throne. Empress Chunyuan, alas, it's a pity..."
"Aunt, let me talk about Queen Chunyuan." She may become a critical period for me to be favored in the future. An Lingrong's eyes flashed slightly.
Fenruo Xu Xu talked to her about Chunyuan's past again, and An Lingrong was fascinated by the hearing.
After listening to it for a long time, she really found some details that could be used for her.
Time flies, and it will soon be the day to enter the palace.
As soon as the sky was dawn, the sedan chair in the palace stopped at the door of Qingfeng Garden. After An Lingrong arranged everything, he slowly sat in the sedan chair. Dill and cardamom followed both sides of the sedan chair, and his luggage was sent to the palace one day in advance.
Go.
The sedan chair slowly walked away, and a figure walked out of the courtyard beside Qingfengyuan, staring at the direction where the sedan chair disappeared.
Mr. Ji walked out and stood behind Ji He: "She is not something you can imagine. I haven't stopped you to look at her quietly these days. It's my greatest grace. You can't think about it anymore.
”
"Father, I know." Ji He smiled bitterly.
After writing the letter from home that day, he was obsessed with her voice, every word and sentence was clearly just a letter from home, but it was hooked in his heart like a hook.
He peeked quietly, carefully, and occasionally saw her side face, or fingers, so happy that he couldn't sleep all night, or he couldn't see anything all day long, and just listened to her voice, he was also happy.
However, he could only hide this feeling quietly by himself. Maybe she would never know that someone had ever been pleased with her.
"Father, I will be on the list next time I take the scientific exam."
An Lingrong would never know that Ji He, who had never met before, would help her a lot in the future.
Not to mention it for now.
Seeing the palace city getting closer, An Lingrong became a little nervous, and pinched his hands, sweating all over his palm.
She kept comforting herself that the present is different from the past, and the present life is different from the past, and everything is different. This time, she can control her own destiny.
The sedan chair fell to the ground, dill lifted the curtain and helped Anling to take it down.
Immediately afterwards, the sedan chairs of the Zhen family and the Shen family also arrived, and Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang walked down.
As soon as they got off the sedan chair, the two of them looked at each other with affection and smiled at An Lingrong. They also smiled appropriately, and their closeness and distantness immediately appeared.
When I saw them again, An Lingrong felt mixed feelings, but she still had to smile appropriately on her face.
"Please pay tribute to the little master, and the little master is lucky."
An Lingrong looked up at the high palace gate, remembering his previous life, he recklessly questioned why he wanted to walk through the side door of Shunzhen Gate, but was told by the eunuch that "only the queen of the Qing Dynasty can walk through the main door", the embarrassment of that moment
Let her feel ashamed.
Fenruo and Fangruo had their heads in contact. The two were not too close, but they respected each other, so it would be fine to exchange a few greetings.
Like in his previous life, Zhen Huan was divided into Saiyuxuan and moved into Changxi Hall, Xianfu Palace.
And An Lingrong actually lived in Lipin's palace in this life.
When An Lingrong heard the three words "Qixiang Palace", he was stunned for a moment.
"My master, please go with peace of mind. Qixiang Palace is in a very good location." Fenruo comforted her, "Lipin is straightforward and easy to get along with."
An Lingrong smiled calmly and thanked Fenruo.
On the other hand, Fangruo's expression was stiff for a moment after learning that Zhen Huan's residence was Shayuxuan, but she could only comfort Zhen Huan and enter the palace first.
Dill and Cardamom followed An Lingrong all the way to Qixiang Palace. The familiar red walls and black tiles and the familiar bluestone red bricks seemed to be spreading inch by inch under their feet.
The sky was bright and the wild geese flew high, opening the prelude to the chapter of the Forbidden City.
Along the way, the little eunuch talked about how Lipin was favored, how close Qixiang Palace is to the Emperor's Palace of Harmony.
An Lingrong was thinking while listening.
This incident caught her off guard, but she quickly calmed down.
Fenruo was right. Lipin was straightforward and it was very simple to get along with her as long as she was not twisted.
The most difficult thing is Concubine Hua whom Lipin surrendered to.
Concubine Hua...
Thinking about it, the little eunuch led An Lingrong and the other two into Qixiang Palace and walked to the side hall: "My master, your Zichun Pavilion has arrived."
Dill took the opportunity to give the little eunuch money.
The little eunuch withdrew with gratitude.
An Lingrong stepped into Zichun Pavilion, looked around, slowly sat down on the main seat, and called Dill and Cardamom: "The House of Residences should have been delivered to you, so don't be busy cleaning up. Dill, you Go and call everyone who serves me in, and cardamom go prepare the silver.”
The two of them answered and went out.
Soon, everyone arrived.
Since the head of Qixiang Palace is Lipin, the configuration of Zichun Pavilion is all based on her consent. At present, only two little eunuchs and two little palace maids are there. The eunuchs and the palace maids are naturally around Lipin. She is not qualified to own a person alone.
One of the little eunuchs was named Xiao Liuzi, the other was named Xiao Shizi, the other was named Mo'er, and the other was named Qin'er.
You can tell by the name that you are not a capable person.
When An Lingrong thought of Baojuan in his previous life, she suddenly felt that the four ineffective people were also good now, at least, they were not the eyeliner that anyone put in.
Baojuan, when did she find something wrong? The initial clue should be the straw man who cursed Concubine Hua. Unfortunately, she was too stupid at that time and didn't expect to be the queen at all. It was not until she was controlled by others that she slowly returned. The smell came, but it was too late to say anything at that time.
Thinking of this, An Lingrong's face became much gentler: "You will follow me from now on. You don't have to worry about those around you, just remember a little." An Lingrong lowered his voice and his momentum suddenly became more and more powerful. "When I am honored and favored, you may not be able to gain power, but when I am down, you will definitely be humiliated. Do you understand?"
The four people were so scared that they replied repeatedly.
An Lingrong took over his momentum, raised his hand, and signaled to Cardamom to give him a reward: "But since you have followed me, I will do my best to take care of you."
After getting the money, the four of them changed their faces and then they knelt down to show their loyalty.
An Lingrong was too lazy to figure out how loyal this is. As long as she was not bold enough to face her, she should be guarded against it.
"Can Lipin be in the palace now? I should go and greet you as a gift." An Lingrong pointed Mo'er and asked.
Mo'er's voice was soft: "Go back to the little master, Concubine Li is now talking in the palace of Concubine Hua. If you are not in the palace, the little master can rest first and go to Chengxi Palace to pay tribute later."
An Lingrong nodded, held Dill's hand and went into the bedroom to pack up his things.
The days are still long, and this is only the first day.
