The breeze blows away, and after the heavy veil is blown away, Shufang Palace is filled with mellow incense.
After lunch, Concubine Jing was lazily lying on the soft couch, enjoying the warm sunshine slanting through the green gauze window and the gentle kneading of the maid behind her.
According to imperial doctors, using this method to unclog the whole body every day can not only prolong life, but also nourish the skin, build muscle, and maintain youthfulness forever.
Therefore, she took great pains to select a group of clever little girls outside the palace to study in the palace and bring them into her Shufang Palace.
Because some of them were not voluntary, their families were relatively well-off, or they had some connections, they actually found the censor to read a copy of Concubine Jing. The entire harem was once in a state of uproar because of this, but of course these were not enough to hinder the final outcome of the matter.
In the hall where everyone deliberately maintained silence, there was a sound of running that was still very obvious despite trying to be gentle, from far to near.
When the footsteps suddenly stopped outside the screen, there was a deliberately low buzzing rumble, as if it contained the sound of urgent and disturbing conversation.
Concubine Jing was already drowsy, but after being disturbed by the continuous noise, she finally opened her eyes unhappily, clapped the small table at her hand, and shouted angrily:
"Who's out there?!"
Disturbing dreams!
For a moment, the already quiet room that could hear pindrops suddenly became as if it was covered with a thick quilt. Not only did the sound of breathing disappear completely, but even the air seemed to become heavier.
"Your Majesty, forgive me!"
After the swishing sound of a pair of soft-soled cloth shoes scraping against the smooth bluestone floor, two panicked pleas, almost overlapping, came from the maids and chamberlains who were kneeling at Concubine Jing's feet.
Concubine Jing was originally unhappy because her sweet dream was disturbed, and wanted to punish them severely. But when she saw the color of the clothes the chambermaid was wearing, she immediately opened her eyes wide, and after being stunned for a moment, she immediately raised her hand and waved away the rest of the people in the room.
"Tell me, what happened at Your Majesty's place?"
At this time, there were only three people left in the inner hall. Apart from Concubine Jing, there were only Concubine Jing's confidant Caixia and the chamberlain who was still kneeling on the ground wearing the lowest-grade clothes.
He was the nail that Jing Fei finally inserted outside the Imperial Study Room after running it for many years.
It's a pity that this person's qualifications are really limited and cannot be put to great use. Not to mention that the level has not been upgraded in these years, I have not even touched the door of the imperial study room!
But something is better than nothing.
At least with this nail, Emperor Xuande's general actions on weekdays could be reported to Concubine Jing. And as long as she could know whether Emperor Xuande had any charming women around him, or whether her son was getting angry in the imperial study, Concubine Jing would be satisfied.
Therefore, this person has been quite useful over the years.
Even occasionally, this "nail" could bring her unexpected news - for example, when Old Master Feng asked her to help her up two days ago, she was surprised by the news that Emperor Xuande visited Princess Qinghe.
I just don't know what kind of urgent news he will bring if he is in such a hurry today and does not hesitate to disturb her nap.
Amid Concubine Jing's expectation, the chamberlain kowtowed for a moment before looking up to her superiors and reporting:
"Replying to your Majesty, Princess Danyang has just left the Imperial Study Room."
Hearing this, Concubine Jing immediately relaxed impatiently.
"Is that just this?"
That girl probably enters and exits the imperial study more often than when she returns to the Duke's palace, right? What’s all the fuss about!
Just as Concubine Jing scoffed at the news in displeasure, the chamberlain quickly added in fear:
"Your Majesty, when that girl went to the imperial study, there was no summons from His Majesty. She was not even informed!"
Hearing this, Concubine Jing had no choice but to pay attention. She frowned and stared at the servant just a stone's throw away from the steps.
"Did you see clearly?"
That girl from Danyang was favored by the Holy Spirit. When she was fostered in the palace as a child, she was even allowed by His Majesty to enter and leave the imperial study at will. But as she left the palace and returned home to Princess Qinghe, this privilege had long since been revoked.
Nowadays, even if she is often summoned by Emperor Xuande to go to the Imperial Study Room, without the summons or Emperor Xuande's permission after the memorial, Danyang's own will alone will prevent her from even entering the courtyard, let alone the door to the Imperial Study Room. Half step.
This is something that no one in the entire harem can do, not even Concubine Jing who is actually in charge of Feng Yin.
The waiter was so stared at that he broke out in cold sweat, and his clothes were soaked in an instant.
But the words had been spoken, and he had no room for regret at this time.
"Yes, I can see clearly."
After bowing his head in response, the chamberlain quickly told Concubine Jing everything she had prepared and said:
"The little one happens to be on duty in the yard, sweeping..."
It was still before noon, and the imperial guards and chamberlains inside and outside the imperial study had just finished their shifts.
The chamberlain was just standing in the courtyard with a bucket and a broom when he heard a commotion at the door.
Normally in the palace, no one dared to speak loudly wherever there were nobles, let alone where the most important person in the entire imperial city, Emperor Xuande, was.
Therefore, although the dispute was not loud, it immediately attracted many overt and covert looks from around.
Danyang didn't want to cause a commotion, but the repetition of her past life and this life made some fragments in her memory a little blurry.
I originally remembered that I had the right to enter and leave the imperial study at will, but when I came to the door, I was stopped mercilessly and loudly by the guards.
"Well, I know I can't pass at will. Can you lower your voice?"
Danyang looked helplessly at the guard in front of him, who was more excited and flushed than the person being stopped, which was really difficult to understand.
Is she a scourge?
This tall and tall young guard of the Royal Forest Army not only looked at her with a gaze that was so intense that it was visibly stiff, but also looked like he was about to die heroically, which really made Danyang feel inexplicably embarrassed.
But the matter has come to this, and of course she cannot give up her plan to meet the Holy Spirit just because someone is blocking her.
Danyang sighed secretly in his heart, and at the same time reached into the purse at his waist to take out the "stepping stone".
But before she could take her fingers out of her purse, she realized that the person in front of her was holding her breath.
After she couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth, she simply took out the jade pendant, straightened her arm in an instant, and thrust the slightly transparent, warm and white jade pendant less than half a palm away from the young gatekeeper's eyes.
"Look clearly, can I go in?"
Almost at the moment Princess Danyang opened her mouth, the young general in front of her resisted the urge to draw the sword and made the choice when the golden opportunity came. He would rather be knocked down by Princess Danyang on the spot than let the tip of his sword fall. Hurt this untouchable troublemaker.
But the young goalkeeper on the other side did not have this awareness.
Zheng! ——
The sound of swords being unsheathed instantly attracted a group of patrolling guards a dozen steps away.
"What's up?!"
"Who's drawing the sword?!"
But after a series of sounds of swords being drawn and chaotic footsteps coming one after another, Eunuch Wei, who had just returned from outside, happened to arrive in front of the courtyard gate.
"Hey, what's going on?"
Just when Eunuch Wei cautiously poked his head around to confirm whether there were assassins or other dangers, he unexpectedly saw the figure of Princess Danyang.
"Princess? What are you..."
