"I can't leave the palace."
Mu Qianqian's body trembled, and she was about to tell her difficulties, but Grandma Duan didn't want to hear her story of suffering at all, and said with a straight face: "Then fight for favor, spend the rest of your life, use your life To compete for the emperor’s favor.”
This sentence was too profound for the fifteen-year-old Mu Qianqian.
She simply doesn't understand.
Isn't it something that the emperor would do naturally to favor beautiful girls?
Why did Aunt Duan let her fight for her favor with her life?
The sun was shining brightly, and I had just experienced the snow-covered palace, and the eaves and corners were washed away and looked brand new.
When the sun shines down, the rows of green tiles and red walls reveal their nobility and magnificence.
At the end of the long palace corridor, the palace people who were walking around suddenly all retreated to the wall and knelt down.
This is the arrival of a distinguished person's chariot.
Aunt Duan reached out and pushed Mu Qianqian aside: "Kneel down."
As a huge group of people arrived in front of them, Mu Qianqian felt a gust of fragrant wind blowing at them, and she couldn't help but look up and look at them secretly.
I saw twelve palace people surrounding a chariot, and sitting on the chariot was a gorgeous and beautiful woman. She was gorgeously dressed, with her hair in a complicated bun, and the dazzling array of headdresses on her head did not make people feel cluttered. Although it is crowded, it gives the feeling of nobility like that of a rich young lady raised by a wealthy family.
The red palace dress, matched with the right makeup on her face, looked like she was born for this majestic imperial city.
That superior woman gives people the same feeling as the palace.
The same wealth and charming eyes.
Magpie couldn't help covering her mouth and laughed. Jiang Xinyue glanced at her: "Why are you laughing secretly alone?"
Magpie raised his head and looked up at her with a smile on his face: "I thought of the time when I and my empress entered the palace to run for election three years ago. At that time, I also met the former empress's Feng Jia on this road, and they also met her on the road. There was a beautiful lady who was scolded by the father-in-law in charge because she raised her head and peeked at the late Queen!"
She took a deep breath as if sighing: "Now our empress has become the person who is envied by the beautiful ladies. This is what Eunuch Qian Sheng talks about all day long, why are the flowers the same every year, but the people are different? "
Shuangjiang laughed loudly: "People say that flowers are similar every year, but people are different every year."
Magpie said confidently: "Isn't that what you said to me?"
Jiang Xinyue also chuckled. With magpie's logic, Shuangjiang couldn't defeat her.
"But I think this sentence needs to be changed now."
The magpie shook his head and said: "The flowers are similar every year, and the people are the same every year."
Jiang Xinyue nodded: "It seems that we magpies still have the potential to become great poets."
The palace is now filled with roses of various varieties, as well as new varieties developed by craftsmen.
The plum garden, begonia garden, and lotus pond are all gone, and there are roses everywhere.
Qingyang Palace was renamed from the original Lotus Washing Palace. The lotus pond in front was filled in and planted with roses. The palace was no longer damp and attracts mosquitoes. The scenery is very beautiful in spring, with roses in full bloom and beautiful. .
Many beautiful ladies are already asking about Qingyang Palace and want to move in after the canonization.
As for the fact that people have died in the palace, and there are even innocent souls in the lotus pond, the emperor has issued an order not to allow the palace people to talk randomly, who dares to reveal it?
Everyone only knows that the former imperial concubine lived here, and it is said that she regained her favor here. It is the blessed place of the beautiful ladies!
The magpie who was praised by Jiang Xinyue was so proud that she pouted her little mouth and looked at Shuangjiang: "Did you hear that? The queen said that I am a poet."
Shuangjiang: The empress seems to have the potential to be a poet, right?
And this sentence was obviously meant to ridicule her. She really didn't listen to anyone who scolded her, and took everyone who praised her seriously.
As expected of a magpie.
"yes!"
Seeing how proud her mother was, Shuangjiang deliberately made fun of her: "The great poet can write several love poems to some people tonight. I think some people will be very happy to receive them."
"Frostfall!"
The magpie stared at a pair of big eyes, from the face to the root of the neck, thinking that Jiang Xinyue didn't know yet, secretly looked at his master with his eyes, and gently slapped Shuangjiang with his elbow: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't like herring, I If I don’t get married, I will serve my queen for the rest of my life.”
"Did I say some people are herrings?"
Jiang Xinyue was almost frightened to death by this fool, but she still gritted her teeth tightly and tried not to laugh out loud.
She still had to pretend not to know, let the magpie and herring slowly develop and get along, and not put too much pressure on the magpie.
For women in this era, getting married is like being reborn.
She didn't want to compare the usefulness of women to getting married and having children, but the Yan Dynasty was indeed not the future, and the world where women could perform their functions was only in the backyard.
Going into business, participating in politics, and being in the public eye are both humiliating and impossible for women in this era.
Occasionally, there are one or two women who are superior to men. Those are exceptions among exceptions. They are forced by the current situation of life to really have no way out. The hardships involved are not something ordinary people can endure.
Therefore, if Magpie wants to marry Qingyu, Jiang Xinyue hopes that they can fully understand each other, accept all the advantages and disadvantages of each other, and make sure that they will stay together for the rest of their lives and it will not be too late to marry again.
Magpie blushed and quickly changed the subject: "My dear, did you notice just now? The beautiful girl behind Grandma Duan looks exactly like you when you first entered the palace!"
Whether it’s temperament, body shape or demeanor.
But the beautiful girl lowered her head, so she couldn't see clearly, and she didn't know how similar those faces were.
That was why she noticed that beautiful girl just now.
Jiang Xinyue looked back and saw that Aunt Duan had led Xiu Nu away. She only saw a blurry figure disappearing at the end.
But that's okay.
She is still young and beautiful. Even if the emperor wants to find a substitute, he has to wait until she dies. Otherwise, if she is the real one here, he is so full that he has to find a replacement?
The emperor was fourteen or fifteen years older than her. If he died, the emperor would die first. No one could be her imitation.
"Qingyang Palace?"
Wei Shu sneered: "If that idiot wants to live in Qingyang Palace, let her live there. As long as she knows the truth, she won't leave crying."
It is no secret that Huang Yanyu spent money to bribe the Ministry of Internal Affairs and wanted to distribute it in Qingyang Palace.
The main reason is that she is too high-profile, and it is difficult for others to know.
Such a flamboyant person can still be domineering for a while if he is protected by the imperial concubine.
If not, it would be an early death.
Wei Shu has been in and out of the imperial court since she was a child and knows more about the secrets of the palace than others.
She also heard some information about what happened in Qingyang Palace from her sister-in-law Pei Wu.
The emperor found it unlucky to live in a place where many people had died, so how could he favor the beautiful women there?
