The wish of the Qing Dynasty is fulfilled
Chapter 23 An Lingrong 5
An Lingrong used the excuse that she needed a few days to adapt to the palace, and sent Hantao to deliver the sachets she had sewn by herself to Suiyuxuan and Xianfu Palace. Until the first time she paid her respects, she did not leave the Yanx Palace at all. She only took Xia Dongchun to learn the rules and went to Fucha Guiren's house for meals.
"Sister Xia, how come Auntie didn't even teach you the basic greetings?"
Seeing Xia Dongchun's weird posture of saluting, An Lingrong felt dizzy. She knew that she was not in a good mind, but she didn't expect it to be so bad that she actually saluted like a palace maid.
"I thought I hadn't learned it carefully enough, but I didn't expect there was someone as 'smart' as you to serve as a foil." Noble Lady Fucha pinched the cloud cake and stuffed it into An Lingrong's mouth, mocking her with a gloating look.
An Lingrong: ...
There is no need to laugh at others when you are fifty steps apart. Their IQs are not high, so the eldest brother should not criticize the second brother.
"Well, we are destined to live in the same palace. We must help each other in the future. Rong'er will be worried if anyone makes a mistake. You two sisters must work hard for Rong'er."
An Lingrong was in high spirits, but she couldn't resist the two people in front of her and fell for their tricks. After listening to them, her waist and legs no longer hurt. She straightened her body and continued to study the palace rules and etiquette, for fear that she would be outdone by the other one and make Rong'er sad.
The Queen was even more dissatisfied after hearing the news. What was going on in the Yanx Palace? How could a Manchu noble lady and the daughter of a bondservant be so close to each other as to keep each other warm with the daughter of a ninth-rank minor official? Didn't she feel it was a loss of face?
After hearing the news from the servant, Concubine Hua angrily threw the crab cake in her hand. She was already dissatisfied with the fact that her favor was divided because of the newcomer, and she didn't expect that two little bitches with titles would be selected in one selection. Now, they dared to form cliques before even entering the bedchamber. Their thoughts were disgusting!
An Lingrong didn't care how much hatred she had caused outside. She only thought about the tight time and heavy tasks, and she had to urgently provide brain training for the two silly girls in the Yanxi Palace. She had to pay her respects to the Queen tomorrow, so she had to stay up late to prepare special meals today.
……
It was very close from the Yanx Palace to the Jingren Palace. An Lingrong hurriedly changed the big flower that Xia Dongchun was wearing on her head. Looking back, she saw Fu Cha Yixin wearing a "coat hanger" on her head. She felt extremely powerless and had no desire to live as she was carried on the left and right by these two generals to pay her respects.
The three of them arrived not too late, but the little palace maid who led the way did not tell them where to stand until she saw Zhen Huan and Shen Meiyu. Then she came forward to guide them. As expected, these two stood in the front row.
Noble Lady Fucha, who had just been given a crash course on the palace rules, frowned. Even Xia Dongchun, who had only half learned a little, felt something was wrong. However, the announcement had been made that they were to enter the palace to pay their respects. An Lingrong patted the two of them to comfort them, and made room for Noble Lady Borjigit and Fucha Yixin to stand together.
The senior concubines were also ready, and they looked at the newcomers with scrutiny and rejection, especially the two concubines who were awarded titles in this selection.
It would have been fine if they hadn't been considered together, but when they saw that both of them were regulars with titles, one standing at the head and the other at the end of the team, everyone realized that something was wrong.
It's said that Concubine Qi looks like a Husky. Others felt something was wrong but didn't say anything. Only she spoke frankly, "Your Majesty, why do I think the new sisters are standing so strangely? The two with titles are usually one in front and one behind. Are they standing wrong?"
"What's strange? What's wrong?" Before the Queen could respond, Concubine Hua arrived before anyone else and heard Concubine Qi's question.
Yixiu: "..." Qi Fei, which group are you on? It's a headache!
The magnificent Concubine Hua walked in slowly, glanced around, and then perfunctorily bowed to Yi Xiuxing. Without waiting for the other party to call her, she stood up and took a seat. She touched her forehead and said, "I just heard Concubine Qi say something wrong from afar. Could the Empress help me to clarify my doubts?"
Yixiu nearly bit her back teeth to keep smiling. She put on a kind look and slowly said, "Jianqiu, what's going on?"
"Your Majesty, it must be that the girl Huichun was lazy and didn't give proper instructions to the servants, which led to the misalignment of the ladies' positions. I will accept the punishment myself, and I hope you ladies will not be angry."
Seeing the Queen's maid kneeling down to accept the punishment, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang instantly realized how big a mistake they had made, and had no choice but to bow down and apologize.
After all, Jianqiu only said it was the servants' fault, but did not mention the palace maids' guidance at all. This can only mean that they themselves have not learned the rules well enough, and there is no other way except to step forward and apologize.
Concubine Hua turned her head and rolled her eyes at the two of them. "I hate hypocritical people the most. If you know the rules, why act like this? It's so hypocritical!"
Yixiu tried to smooth things over for the two of them by saying that they had just entered the palace and only wanted to fine them two months' salary. Hua Fei certainly didn't want this old woman to pretend to be a good person, so she said quietly,
"Your Highness may be kindhearted, but I, the Empress, have the authority appointed by the Emperor to assist in the management of the six palaces. I cannot tolerate anyone violating palace rules. Although this matter is minor, speaking out about it is 'indiscriminate' and lacks self-awareness. If this door is opened, won't anyone be able to commit the same offense in the future?"
As Concubine Hua spoke, she stared at Yixiu with a provocative smile on her lips. She was obviously the one who disregarded the distinction between superiors and subordinates the most, but she acted so self-righteously, openly mocking Yixiu for her lack of self-awareness.
Zhen Huan reacted very quickly and quickly apologized to Concubine Hua and the Queen. After expressing gratitude to the Queen for her kindness, she praised Concubine Hua highly and praised her for her strict discipline and being a model for the harem. This series of punches made Concubine Hua confused and unable to suppress the smile on her lips. She completely forgot that she should press on to punish Zhen Huan and Shen Meiyu.
After the two returned to their seats, Concubine Hua realized something was wrong, but she could not continue to hold on after missing the best opportunity. She could only glance at Zhen Huan hatefully and remember this sharp-tongued little bitch.
"I heard there's a very special 'Si' here. Ha, that name sounds quite unusual. I wonder who it is?"
Hua Fei lazily leaned back in her chair, thinking about giving this clique-building little woman a good show of power. But she was startled when she saw An Lingrong, her face pale and trembling as she saluted. She had expected a scheming woman, but how could she be such a delicate little girl? Well, look at her wet eyes, she looked like a timid cat slave.
Concubine Hua leaned forward unconsciously and stared at the little girl, not stopping until An Lingrong's ears turned red.
Cao Qinmo was stunned by Hua Fei's rogue and lecherous behavior. What was she trying to do? Was she using her status as a concubine to tease the new palace maid?
Having followed this master for so many years, Cao Qinmo had felt resentment and gratitude, but today was the first time she felt ashamed.
