After lunch, the two of them didn't bother Ning Yuzhen to pack her things, drank a cup of tea and left.
Qilan and Lianxiang didn't know the news about moving to Xianfu Palace. They were shocked when their master asked them to pack their belongings. Countless thoughts ran through their minds. The worst was that they would offend the nobles and be moved to Went to the palace further away.
He didn't dare to say anything to upset his master, but the corners of his mouth couldn't stop drooping.
Yicui saw that the two of them could not hide their dejection. She took advantage of Ning Yuzhen's rest on the couch in the inner room and laughed and cursed: "Who are you showing your face to? I don't know. What did you think the master gave you two?" I’ve suffered a lot.”
Qilan Ai put her thoughts in her stomach. After hearing this, she put away the expression on her face and continued to do her own thing with her head down, only listening to the sound with her ears.
And Lianxiang says whatever she wants.
"Aunt Yicui, the young master came back late in the morning, and now he asks us to pack our belongings. Is this the noble man's punishment?"
Yi Cui glared at her, "Can't you just think about the good of the master? Think carefully before speaking, so as not to bore the master."
Even though she was not old, she still had some years in the palace. Lianxiang immediately understood what Yicui meant, smiled sweetly at her, and went about her business happily.
Yi Cui had a smile on her face and shook her head helplessly.
He glanced at Qilan next to him, paused, and focused on the matter at hand.
I just couldn't help but wonder whether I should talk to my master. This girl Qilan seemed a bit serious, and she was afraid that her master would think that she was sowing discord. After all, Qilan and her master grew up together, and there was no need for friendship. He said that those of them who had become a monk on the road would definitely not be able to compare with them.
Thinking about it, I can only forget it. Having a heavy heart doesn’t mean that I will betray the Lord, right? Yi Cui couldn't help but sigh.
At noon, the eunuch carrying the sedan arrived at the gate of Yonghe Palace on time, accompanied by Eunuch Chen from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
After taking a nap, Ning Yuzhen led the waiting people to the palace gate. When she saw Eunuch Chen's chrysanthemum smile, she was stunned.
Eunuch Chen changed his arrogant attitude when he first entered the palace to see someone off, and bowed respectfully to Ning Yuzhen.
"What else is missing, little master Ning? I can give you some instructions to decorate the little master's residence."
Ning Yuzhen guessed that it was either the emperor's intention or that the servant heard the news and knew what the emperor had done that morning, so he came here to ask.
Although I was a little disgusted with the people in the palace's attitude of following the wind, I still had to maintain my appearance.
"Excuse me, Eunuch Chen. I live here comfortably and don't need anything."
Eunuch Chen saw that she had a smile on her face, and it didn't look like she was faking it. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but feel glad that she didn't raise her tail to the sky yesterday.
At noon, when I heard that Little Master Ning had asked the emperor to carry the sedan chair personally and changed his residence, I felt a chill in my heart. No, he came in a hurry.
Ning Yuzhen got on the sedan and no longer looked at Eunuch Chen's old face.
The four people waiting at the table held the objects and followed the sedan, swaying towards the Xianfu Palace.
Halfway there, I happened to meet Chen Zhuru, a nobleman who was going to the imperial garden.
She quickly stopped the sedan chair, bowed in front of Chen Guiren, and after receiving permission, she got up and returned to the sedan chair to continue moving forward.
Wang Yue said from behind Chen Guiren: "Little Master Ning is really lucky to have the emperor show favor to her and order the sedan chair personally."
Chen Guiren didn't care much about this. She had no choice but to enter the palace. If she could, she would rather follow her grandfather's family on the grassland than stay in this large but trapped palace.
She is here just because she is a concubine and the eldest daughter of a concubine. In the eyes of the principal wife, she is even more like a thorn in the flesh.
She glanced sideways at Wang Yue, the maid who had been given to her before entering the palace, and remembered the envy that could not be concealed on her face.
Ning Yuzhen clearly felt the sight behind her, but she didn't know it was coming from a palace maid.
After another cup of tea, the sedan finally stopped.
She looked at the gate of Xianfu Palace and secretly lamented that Li Jingxuan seemed to be abandoned. There was a big difference between the old and the new.
The master and servants stepped into the door, but Concubine Xian did not appear. She sent Eunuch Zizhong, whom Ning Yuzhen had met.
"Master Ning," Zizhong said, with a correct attitude, neither flattering nor scornful, "Your residence is over here, please come with me, Master."
The four masters and servants followed Zizhong into the courtyard of the East Side Hall. Two golden osmanthus plants were planted on the left and right sides of the courtyard. It was in the flowering season, and the fragrance filled the courtyard.
Lianxiang held the bundle and looked left and right.
Yi Cui looked like she had never seen the world, causing Yi Cui to glare at her again before shrinking her head and looking forward.
Qilan remained silent and only used her peripheral vision to quietly look at the place where she would live for a long time in the future.
"The father-in-laws from the Ministry of Internal Affairs have decorated this place at noon. The young master just needs to live in it."
Zi Zhong brought the person there, not intending to stay for a long time, so he handed the key to the warehouse of the side hall to Yicui, and said to Ning Yuzhen: "Concubine Xian is not feeling well, and she doesn't like to lively, so she doesn't have to pay her respects every morning. .”
"Thank you so much, Eunuch Zizhong." Ning Yuzhen took the incense she had prepared early from Qilan and handed it over, "This is the soothing incense I made myself. I would trouble you to bring it to Concubine Xian."
Zi Zhong responded and waved to the young eunuch to put it away. He bowed and left, hurriedly walking towards the main hall.
The six-year-old princess Wei Rongyue was eating cakes and sharing interesting stories with Concubine Xian.
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Zhong is back." Su Ying walked around the screen and went inside to report.
Concubine Xian said: "Let him come in."
Zizhong brought the incense to Su Ying and said, "Your Majesty, Master Ning has already settled in the East Wing Hall. She asked her servant to bring her the soothing incense she made herself."
Hearing this, Su Ying looked at Concubine Xian hesitantly, and when the latter nodded, she took the incense into the inner room.
Concubine Xian sniffed it through Su Ying's hand, raised her eyebrows and praised: "What a pair of skillful hands, put it away."
Su Ying took the order and retreated.
Wei Rongyue asked with a sweet voice, "Concubine, is there a new person here?"
Concubine Xian picked up Wei Rongyue, let her sit on her lap, and smoothed her messy hair, "Xiao Yue'er still knows who the newcomer is."
"Brother Jin said it. He said that newcomers are people who will make the mother and concubine sad." Wei Rongyue grabbed Concubine Xian's sleeve and said word by word: "Newcomers are not good people, and people who make concubines sad are the ones who make the mother and concubine sad." Not a good person, just like Lady Yi."
Concubine Xian was dumbfounded by her words, but she couldn't help but feel sad inside.
Such a simple truth can be understood by children, but in the royal family, it is as rare as the moon hanging high in the night sky.
Wei Rongyue frowned and acted like an adult, "Brother Jin taught me how to deal with newcomers. Concubine, Xiao Yue'er can protect you too."
