You know what, Nanny Ye is really capable.

After she had the massage yesterday, Lu Zhenzhen slept exceptionally soundly that night and didn't have any dreams.

When I woke up, I felt refreshed, my headache and arm pain were gone.

I had a particularly good appetite in the morning and finished a bowl of chicken noodle soup, four steamed dumplings, a basket of longan buns, and two plates of side dishes.

Nanny Ye was stunned. She had never seen a master with such a good appetite.

Dingxiang, who was serving beside her, saw this and said with a smile, "Our Fourth Madam always has a good appetite. Madam, you'll just have to get used to it."

Nanny Ye agreed verbally, but she was already thinking about whether there was any recipe for weight control, which she thought would come in handy soon.

Lu Zhenzhen naturally had no idea what Nanny Ye was thinking.

After eating and drinking, I continued to practice in the crash course. With Fu Zhiyi's instructions yesterday, today's class was much easier.

Nanny Ye only corrected a few of her mistakes when she was bowing, and that was enough to make it look okay.

Most of the time, he told Lu Zhenzhen about the current situation in the palace.

Let Lu Zhenzhen have a clear mind so that she won’t offend the nobles when she goes to the palace and suffer losses.

Your Majesty today is not a person of great lust, but the concubines in the harem are far inferior to those of the late emperor.

Apart from the late queen who passed away earlier, there were four concubines below her, with the Imperial Concubine being the most respected.

Below them were six concubines, eight noble ladies, several selected maids of the lowest rank in the harem, and several palace maids in the emperor's rooms who had been favored by the emperor.

All in all, there are probably about twenty or thirty people.

In addition to the emperor's concubines, there was also the empress dowager, the old Buddha, and seven or eight concubines in the harem.

The Queen Mother is your Majesty's biological mother. She is old and suffered a lot in her early years when she was out of favor. Her health is not very good.

Nowadays, she spends most of her time recuperating in the Cining Palace. The seven or eight concubines were all concubines who were not very favored during the reign of the previous emperor.

Because those who were favored all died during the fight for the throne.

Now these concubines all live with the Empress Dowager in the Cining Palace. They don’t come out on weekdays, but just chat with the Empress Dowager to relieve her boredom.

The current emperor has ten princes in order of seniority. The eldest prince got married a long time ago and died early, but he left behind a son who is now about ten years old.

The youngest prince is the tenth prince, who has just turned one year old.

There are six princesses in order of seniority. The first three princesses have already married, the fourth princess is almost of marriageable age, and the fifth and sixth princesses are still young, only four or five years old.

Among them, only the Sixth Prince and the Fourth Princess are siblings from the same mother, both born to the Imperial Concubine.

The other princes and princesses all have their own biological mothers, and their positions are different.

According to the rules, after entering the palace this time, you must first pay your respects to the Imperial Concubine. If other concubines summon you, you can just pay your respects and then leave the palace.

When Lu Zhenzhen heard this, she felt more confident because it was similar to what Fu Zhiyi said.

With the Sixth Prince's favor, and the Fourth Princess also revealed the news to her last time, she thought she would not make things difficult for herself.

It was exactly as Fu Zhiyi and Nanny Ye had said.

On the day of the audience in the palace, Lu Zhenzhen was dragged out of bed early in the morning by Madam Ye and several maids.

They surrounded her and gave her a good beating.

Because the village chief's auspicious clothes were still being made, he wore more formal clothes.

Her hair was combed neatly and the jewelry she wore was of high quality.

After putting on the clothes, Nanny Ye checked them carefully again. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, she nodded with satisfaction.

Because he had to enter the palace, he was afraid that he would have to change clothes when meeting the noble, which would mean it would be inconvenient to go to the toilet.

I’m also afraid that the food will have a strong smell and bad breath.

There are only a few dry snacks for breakfast.

Lu Zhenzhen choked so much that she rolled her eyes. I only gave her half a bowl of Tremella soup and didn't dare to give her any more water.

Finally, he rinsed his mouth, put some scented tablets in his mouth, and only finished after making sure his breath smelled like orchid.

After completing a set of procedures, the sky is just beginning to brighten.

Lan was worried, so she came over early and gave him some instructions.

However, she rarely went to the palace in the past. She always followed the crowd from the Marquis' Mansion to attend palace banquets. She had never met the palace concubine alone.

Therefore, he had no experience to offer, and his face showed worry.

Fortunately, Lan was relieved when she heard that Nanny Ye could go in with her.

She took off the bracelet on her wrist and gave it to Madam Ye: "Thank you for your care, Madam Zhenzhen."

Nanny Ye had heard that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a good relationship, but this was the first time she had seen it so good.

He immediately stated: "Don't worry, Third Madam, I will bring Fourth Madam back safely."

Only then did Lan personally escort Lu Zhenzhen onto the carriage, watching the carriage rumble away, and only turned back when it was out of sight.

The carriage continued on its way without stopping, and by the time it reached the palace gate, it was already around eight o'clock.

A sign was delivered to the palace from the Marquis' Mansion yesterday. The royal guards and imperial guards guarding the palace gate checked the identity before letting people in.

Carriages are not allowed to enter and can only wait at the palace gate.

After getting off the carriage, you have to walk all the way to the imperial concubine's palace.

In the harem, except for the four concubines and six imperial concubines who could ride sedan chairs, everyone else had to rely on their legs.

Lu Zhenzhen looked at the huge palace and recalled the pain she had experienced when she measured the Forbidden City on foot that summer.

What supported me at that time was that since I was here, I couldn’t come in vain.

Now, what supports me is that if I don’t go in, I will lose my life.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Zhenzhen patted Madam Ye's hand: "Let's go——"

That's called being ready to die!

Unexpectedly, after entering the palace and reaching the second palace gate, several young eunuchs had been waiting for a long time.

They had a sedan chair beside them. When they saw Lu Zhenzhen and Madam Ye, the leading eunuch immediately led his men forward to greet the two and said, "I greet the Lord of Le'an!"

Lu Zhenzhen hurriedly signaled for everyone to get up.

Before he could even ask who this eunuch was, he took the initiative to introduce himself: "My name is Xiao Hezi, and I work for the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine knew that the Le'an Township Lord would be entering the palace today, so she asked me to bring a sedan chair to pick up the Le'an Township Lord. Township Lord, please get on the sedan chair—"

As he said this, he gestured for Lu Zhenzhen to sit on it.

This sedan chair is simple, shaped like a round chair, with lifting poles at the front and back. In simple terms, it is a simple sedan chair shaped like a round chair.

It’s a bit like the sliding poles at the foot of the mountains in later generations.

But this one is naturally more refined and advanced.

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Zhenzhen looked at Aunt Ye: "Is this appropriate? Is it in accordance with the rules?"

Nanny Ye hadn't expected the Imperial Concubine to think so highly of Lu Zhenzhen, and she hurriedly said, "Since it was a gift from the Imperial Concubine, it's naturally in accordance with the rules!"

Only then did Lu Zhenzhen get on the sedan chair.

After sitting on it, four young eunuchs quietly lifted the sedan chair and walked into the deep palace.

The four men walked lightly, and the sedan chair they carried did not shake much.

The eunuch named Xiao Hezi and Nanny Ye were surrounding the sedan chair.

I don't know how many palace gates I passed along the way. I met eunuchs and palace maids walking hurriedly on the roadside. They saw the sedan chair from afar and quickly moved to the sides of the palace road and knelt down.

Lu Zhenzhen was sitting on the sedan chair and could see the scene particularly clearly.
