When Shen Qingyi arrived at the palace, the new beautiful ladies had almost been settled.
"Chang Zai Shen, the place where you live is called Yufu Palace. The main hall is still empty. There are two side halls in the north and south. The south hall is called Jingqi Pavilion. There is already a Miao beauty living there. I will take you there right now. North side hall.”
Lu Luo on the side wanted to step forward to give some money, but Shen Qingyi pushed her down and said respectfully to the young eunuch: "Then I will lead the way, my father-in-law."
When the little eunuch saw that he had waited for a long time and still didn't get any money, his face suddenly darkened.
Lu Luo glanced at Shen Qingyi doubtfully, and Shen Qingyi shook her head silently.
The imperial palace standing in Gyeonggi City is beautiful everywhere with green tiles and flying roofs. It snowed just last night, and now the snow is falling on the eaves. From a distance, the entire palace is like a heavenly palace, which is amazing.
Although Lu Luo held Shen Qingyi's arm tightly, her eyes kept turning around, obviously dizzy: "My little master, this palace is so beautiful. Every palace looks different, and all the slaves are different." I can’t see it anymore.”
Shen Qingyi smiled slightly: "I will live here for a long time in the future."
Lu Luo stuck out her tongue and looked at the road intently.
The little eunuch who was leading the way saw a hint of anger on his face when he saw the master and servant chatting animatedly. He rolled his eyes and suddenly held his stomach: "Ouch... Ouch..."
"Father-in-law, what's wrong with you?" The unaware Lu Luo immediately stepped forward and prepared to support him.
But the little eunuch waved his hands with a painful look on his face: "Ouch... I had a bad stomach this morning. I really can't bear it now. Go straight along this road. In front of you is the Jade Palace. I'm in a hurry to relieve myself." , please forgive Shen Changzai!"
As if afraid of Shen Qingyi's questioning, the little eunuch quickly ran away holding his stomach.
Luluo looked at the direction the little eunuch was leaving and stamped her feet angrily: "Damn it! I think this little eunuch must be deliberately lazy!"
Shen Qingyi's lips revealed a hint of understanding: "Not only that, they even want us to suffer some hardships."
"Ah?" Luluo was stunned.
Shen Qingyi did not explain and walked towards the road where he had just entered the palace.
Since the little eunuch wanted them to endure hardship, the path he pointed out to them was definitely not the right path. It might even be a forbidden area of the palace where they were not allowed to trespass!
But that’s okay.
As long as they pretend to be lost and return to the road they just entered the palace on, they will naturally be able to find out the whereabouts of the Jade Palace.
…
Fengluan Palace.
Concubine Yu Guifei lay weakly and bonelessly on her side on the beauty's back. With her fingers stained with cinnabar, she gently peeled off a grape: "Oh? Among beautiful ladies, are there really such stupid people?"
"Isn't it? I heard from others that Shen Changzai was lost for more than half an hour before he returned to the Jade Palace." When Xiangyuan said this, she couldn't help but cover her lips and smile, "Your Majesty, now You can rest assured that the most beautiful Xia Guiren has beauty but no family background, and is destined not to last long. Although Shen Changzai is the daughter of a hero, she is also a brainless person who offended the little eunuch who led the way. I almost couldn’t even go back to the palace..."
Hearing this, Concubine Yu raised her lips and smiled: "Yes, among the new batch of beautiful ladies who have entered the palace, aren't these two the ones that worry me the most? But the one who is more worried than me now must be the Queen. Bar?"
Hearing this, Xiangwan immediately made a cup of tea for Concubine Yu: "What the empress said is absolutely true."
Concubine Yu took a sip of the tea, rubbed her Qingming point, and sighed in her heart:
If she also had a child, why would she be constraining the queen in everything?
…
[Ding dong! I am happy that the host escaped from the danger of "entering the palace for the first time" and created an illusion, successfully making the enemy relax their guard, and obtained the palace battle value*2! 】
[It is detected that the remaining palace value of the host is *3. Do you want to redeem the gray talent? 】
[Agree to exchange. 】
[Please host to choose——]
Shen Qingyi looked at the [grey] level that appeared in his mind, and the three talents that appeared behind this level:
[Clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes], [Fluid nose and goose fat], and [Red lips and white teeth] respectively correspond to the three parts of a woman’s face: the eyebrows, eyes, nose, and lips and teeth. The modification of each part requires the consumption of Gongdou Points*2.
Shen Qingyi took a deep breath.
This promotion is the first step in her official palace battle.
[System, redeem talents—beautiful features! 】
[Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for consuming *2 palace points and successfully redeeming the gray talent - delicate features! 】
The woman in the mirror has slender eyebrows and a fresh face, especially the two small pear dimples at the corners of her mouth. When she smiles, she looks a bit innocent.
Shen Qingyi's hand holding the mirror trembled slightly.
One day ago, she was an ugly girl who could not be found in a crowd. Unexpectedly, one day later, the system helped her transform into a young girl!
Although the skin color is still a bit dull and does not look very eye-catching, as long as this system is available, having a peerless appearance is just around the corner!
Just when Shen Qingyi was amazed at the magic of the system, Lu Luo walked in excitedly: "My lord...just now from the Ministry of Internal Affairs...huh?"
Luluo looked at Shen Qingyi's face in surprise, stunned.
Shen Qingyi raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong?"
"My lord, you have become more beautiful!!" Luluo circled around Shen Qingyi in surprise and joy. She didn't know what she thought of, but she had an idea: "By the way, my wife was one of the most beautiful beauties in the capital. Even the late emperor We have all fallen in love with Madam’s beauty. Young Master, you are Madam’s daughter, how can you not be beautiful?”
Shen Qingyi tapped the tip of her nose: "You are the only one with such a mouth."
"whee."
"Okay, what did you say happened to the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
Hearing Shen Qingyi's reminder, Lu Luo suddenly slapped her head: "By the way, little master, just now the Ministry of Internal Affairs has sent everything to Lan Yuexuan, and also assigned two maids to serve. Little master, please go and take a look. "
Shen Qingyi responded and followed Luluo outside the house.
The two newly assigned maids from the Ministry of Internal Affairs happen to be fat and thin, and they are called Lotus Root and Poria Cocos respectively.
"My slave Lotus Root (Poria), please give my regards to my young master."
Shen Qingyi did not ask them to get up immediately after greeting them.
Lotus root and Poria knew the rules, so they kept making greeting gestures and remained motionless until they couldn't hold on any longer. Shen Qingyi finally spoke: "Get up."
"Thank you, little master."
Shen Qingyi looked at the expressions on the two people's faces, and after seeing that there was no resentment on their faces, she said softly: "I don't care who your former master was, but when you come to work for me, you must keep in mind the two words 'loyalty' Words, if you do well, I will never treat you badly, and if you go against the Lord’s will, I will never forgive you lightly!”
"I don't dare!"
Shen Qingyi nodded with satisfaction and winked at Luluo.
Luluo quickly stepped forward and handed the money to the two of them.
Many thanks to both of them.
"Register these things sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the various palaces, and send them to the warehouse."
"yes."
After Lotus Root and Poria Cocos left with their things, Luluo looked at Shen Qingyi frequently and hesitated to speak.
Shen Qingyi naturally noticed Lu Luo's eyes, pursed her lips and smiled: "There is no one else here now, you can ask whatever you want."
"My lord, you just entered the palace this morning. Why didn't you give the little eunuch money? Instead, you eagerly gave lotus roots and poria cocos?"
Shen Qingyi stroked the Sixi Ruyi cloud-patterned brocade sent by Concubine Yu, feeling the smooth touch in her palm, and narrowed her eyes slightly: "The wood that is as beautiful as the forest wind will destroy it. As the only one among these beautiful women, I am the only one who relies on my father. The beautiful women who have been selected for their merits will naturally attract attention. If I still show my sharpness, others will naturally think that I am deeply scheming and eager to get rid of them. It would be better for me to act stupid, which would reassure those people. I am just offending someone with a high eye and a low hand. Just a little eunuch... As for the lotus root and poria..."
"Although these two are maids assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there is no guarantee that they are not someone's spies. Now that they have taken the money, they can not only relax the vigilance of the master behind them, but also make the other party stand still. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone." Shen Qingyi said this, She looked at Luluo intently: "Luluo, Aunt Bai didn't give us anything when we entered the palace this time. This little money is also your private money. I know..."
Hearing this, Luluo hurriedly explained: "No! My little master..."
"But Luluo, don't worry, sooner or later, we won't have to worry about money!"
…
The new batch of beautiful women who entered the palace should greet the masters of each palace and the queen after they were settled. However, the main hall of Yufu Palace was still empty, so Shen Qingyi organized it and planned to pay greetings to the queen.
Unexpectedly, when she just left the house, Fenxiang, the eldest maid next to the queen, came and said that the queen was not feeling well and it was not suitable to see guests. She also brought some winter charcoal fire.
Shen Qingyi collected the lotus roots with a smile on her face: "Thank you very much, Queen, for remembering me. I hope my aunt will convey my gratitude for me."
Fenxiang said gently: "Of course, little master, please have a good rest. I have to go to Xia Guiren's Changchun Pavilion to deliver things."
Shen Qingyi secretly took note of Fenxiang's words and said to Fuling beside her: "Send Miss Fenxiang out well."
Naturally, the Ministry of Internal Affairs also sent some charcoal fires in winter during the day, but Shen Qingyi's low status meant that what he got was just low-quality coal, which had a strong smell of smoke. The charcoal fire sent by the Queen was silver charcoal, which was not only smokeless and odorless , as soon as it was lit, the room felt warm as spring.
The night is dark.
The wind and snow were raging outside, but there was peace inside.
Shen Qingyi took down a copy of the "Yan Emperor's Almanac" from the bookshelf and read it carefully.
It has been more than two hundred years since the founding of the Yan Dynasty. Since the death of the late emperor, the current emperor Xiao Jingyan has been on the throne for only three years, but he has managed the country smoothly. Of course, there were some small-scale wars during this period, but it is adjacent to the state capital. The planning was good, so the fight was resolved smoothly.
Seeing this, Shen Qingyi closed the book and was suddenly enlightened.
No wonder Eunuch Qin, who came to convey the decree before, clearly looked down upon me, but he didn't dare to show off his face. He must have known that the emperor valued Shen Dinggan very much, right?
The smile on Shen Qingyi's face faded a little when she thought of her father who spent less time together and more time away from each other.
At this time, there was a sudden noise outside the gate of Yufu Palace.
Shen Qingyi, who was about to go to sleep, frowned and looked outside the room: "Polythos?"
Lu Luo hurriedly walked in from outside the house, with a look of panic on her face: "My lord, it's not good, Guiren Xia and Li Xuanshi had a quarrel at the entrance of Yufu Palace."
It turned out that Li Xuanshi arrived at the palace in the evening due to travel delays. When he walked to the door of Yufu Palace, he met Xia Guiren. He did not recognize her for a while and naturally did not salute. Xia Guiren felt that Li Xuanshi did not take her seriously. Deliberately making things difficult, Li Xuanshi was not angry and argued a few words, but was punished by the other party to kneel in front of the Jade Palace...
"My lord, how about we help Li Xuanshi? She has been kneeling in such a cold weather..." Luluo looked at Shen Qingyi unbearably.
Shen Qingyi's eyes were cold: "Did you see any movement in the Miao beauty in Jingqi Pavilion?"
"Lingjiao said that Miao Meiren was infected with cold and has been bedridden for a day..."
"Being sick in bed does not mean that she is deaf or blind. Since she knows how to stay behind closed doors, how can we pretend to be such a good person?" Shen Qingyi blew out the candles and went to bed on her side: "Luluo, remember, in this deep palace , the more kind people are, the faster they will die!"
[Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for escaping from the "late night terror" and gaining 1 Palace Fighting Point! 】
[Ding dong! It is detected that the host's remaining palace value is *2, which meets the conditions for redeeming the talent. Do you want to redeem it? 】
Not urgent.
There will definitely be another bloody storm tomorrow. She will definitely exchange all the remaining two talents in the gray level tomorrow!
