Before dawn, he thanked Feng Huang... No, from now on he should be called Yun Feng Huang. He got up, dressed up according to the rules, said goodbye to Yun Ju and his wife, and took Nian Xuan away with the four people who came to pick her up from the palace. Watching the car go out.

Didn't Xiufu, who was sent by Concubine Shu to teach the rules, go back a month early to resume her duties? At that time, there was no one in the palace to accompany her. It was fine before entering the palace. At the entrance of the palace, she met other invited noble ladies and filed into the palace. Afterwards, looking at the towering and solemn palace walls and the rows of heavily guarded soldiers from the swaying curtains of the car, Nian Xuan was as silent as a chill, but Yun Fenghuang was also a little nervous.

Ever since her concubine Xie Fenghuan was drowned in front of her, she rarely felt nervous anymore.

The carriage rolled over the palace bricks, and the four sides of the carriage were covered tightly with blue felt cloth. The luster of the hairpin rings occasionally reflected in the gaps. Do you remember the instructions when you learned the rules? No one was there at that time. Dare to speak up. The motorcade drove leisurely along the lane for a while before finally stopping. After a while, the eunuch's slightly shrill voice came from outside, asking everyone to get out of the car and go outside to pay homage to the Empress Dowager.

Speaking of which, the Empress Dowager has not been very involved in affairs since she was the Queen Mother. That time she actually accepted the visit of the new concubines. On the one hand, the appointment of the Empress Dowager did not come from her, and on the other hand, she was afraid that it was really a bit embarrassing Worried about the heirs of Emperor Chunjia.

After all, the late Emperor, Emperor Xiaozong, the Empress Dowager's biological son, died without a son, so he had no choice but to succeed the nephew of Prince Fuyang to the throne.

And the emperor with the reign name Chunjia had been on the throne for eight years, and he didn't even have the original lord of Wei to his knees. It was hard not to worry that he would follow in the footsteps of the previous emperor.

"Feng Huang!" A group of noble ladies got out of the carriage one after another, and saw a tall and majestic palace standing in front of them. The two words "Qingci" were hung high on the gold-painted palace plaque, which was the Qingci Palace where the queen mothers of all dynasties lived. ...Of course the Empress Dowager lived there at that time.

They lined up in rows according to the eunuch's instructions. People they met during that period couldn't help but greet each other. Yun Qingman walked up to Yun Fenghuang neatly and wanted to say something excitedly - but he didn't say anything. Not far away, the eunuch scanned With a stern look, Yun Fenghuang quickly motioned for her to line up first and talk to her later if she had anything to say.

Seeing that the noble ladies were all lined up, the maid at the door went in to ask for instructions again, and when they came out, they were asked to go in in batches to thank them.

After all, Yun Qingman had a father-in-law, who was Concubine Shu's sister, and who was among the first to enter the country. The people who went in with her were also of noble birth, so she was kept by the Empress Dowager for a long time before she came out. They all received a lot of rewards. Judging from their relaxed and slightly reserved expressions, I guess the Empress Dowager is very kind.

At least they are very kind.

After Yun Qingman came out, she wanted to continue waiting for Yun Fenghuang, but after all, Baoyuan urged her to leave in the car, so she gave Yun Fenghuang a wink before leaving to express that she had something to say to her.

"Is it because of Duke Yi?" It's not surprising that Yun Fenghuang made this mistake. Bu Biang entered the palace on his own whether Yun Ju did it intentionally or not. Without Duke Yi, it wouldn't have happened. It is not reasonable for Yun Qingman to feel guilty for this, or to defend Duke Yi.

Yun Fenghuang had already thought about how to deal with Qiu. At that time, there was nothing complicated, and he was more focused on Xie Enzai, who would be his turn now.

The empress dowager's mistreatment of the new concubines was obviously directly related to their origins. Yun Qingman's wave lasted the longest, and each wave after receiving Donglai was shorter than the previous wave, so Yun Qingman arrived quickly. Fenghuang.

It’s actually the last one!

All those with truly noble births have disappeared, and those who have fallen into the trap are either those whose family backgrounds have crossed the line, or those who are parallel imports of noble girls like Yun Fenghuang. Although they can wear gold and silver, their aura reveals their cowardice.

Yun Fenghuang sighed in his heart, took out the results of the assault training during that period, stepped slowly, lowered his eyebrows and walked outside.

Turning around the entrance of the hall, there is a glazed screen with engraved huanghuali carved with five blessings, holding longevity and punishment, and a mother-in-law. On the scarlet ground, there are branches of angustifolia, cranes and deer, and spring husks. At the end of the spread, there is a gold elixir, and a throne carved with dragons and phoenixes is placed. At this moment In front of the throne hangs a bright yellow plain pleated skirt, with a pair of green phoenix clouds exposed on the east side of the skirt, embroidered with gold and silver threads with a picture of flowing peonies, and a row of pearls on the edge... Think about it, it is the Emperor Shenzong. Dong's first wife, the late Emperor Xiaozong's biological mother, Dong, became the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty.

What did the Empress Dowager look like? Yun Fenghuang did not dare to move his eyes any further, so he took a quick glance without seeing clearly. After bowing respectfully, he heard the palace attendant standing beside the Empress Dowager tell them clearly. The identity of the person, and the reasons for being selected... The reasons for being selected are basically the same. They are nothing more than being beautiful, intelligent, gentle, considerate, high-born, and worthy of serving the emperor.

"You are all good children." The Queen Mother's voice was a little tired, as if her body was out of tune. She seemed to be looking around one by one, and then said slowly, "Reward!"

Yun Fenghuang and his companions went to Yingying and bowed down, thanking her in a gentle voice.

Then there was no more. After receiving the reward, he was sent away.

Yun Fenghuang suspected, no, she was sure that the Empress Dowager did not remember what the four of them looked like...

What Guoqun Yugu said is right. As a palace concubine, without a strong natal family, her future is simply bleak...

She felt sad in her heart, and when she got out and found out where she lived, she felt even more sad: "Huzhu Palace, Xixingxuan? And Wei Yugu, did he hear that Huzhu Palace is hosted by Concubine Yue?"

The palace servants looked at her with sympathy: "Yes, Concubine Yue is a very amiable person. After Baolin goes, she will be able to adapt to her very quickly."

"..." Yun Fenghuang looked up at the sky. After a moment, he nodded with a smile on his face and said, "I would like to lend you your kind words."

Didn't she think she hadn't heard Xiu Fu talk about it

Concubine Yue Yuan's status is only to the east of the empress and the fourth concubine, her status in the palace is not low, and she is also among the best in terms of doting and ruthlessness, but she is... amiable and amiable, which sounds similar to her!

Speaking of which, it’s not to blame Yuan’s bad temper. After all, she is the Queen Mother Yuan. Well, she is the original aunt of Emperor Chunjia, the biological niece of Princess Yuan of Fuyang, and the fiancée whom Emperor Chunjia has been married to since he was a child. According to the rules, she should be the queen of the middle palace!

However, Emperor Chunjia's ascension to the throne was entirely due to the power of the Ji family, and the Ji family happened to have a legitimate daughter who was about the same age as Emperor Chunjia, so it was natural that she would hold the Phoenix Seal. Even because Yuan family and Emperor Chunjia were childhood sweethearts, she was worried that she would rely on her old relationship to threaten Ji. The queen and the four concubines were not given. The first title was just the wife. It is said that the concubine was granted the title a few years ago for some reason.

The anger in Yuan's heart suddenly became clear. Her natal family was considered a wealthy family in the Fuyang fiefdom, and they could not afford to spend time in the imperial capital. Therefore, even if they were in love with the emperor, they did not dare to take advantage of empress Ji and other high-ranking ladies. How about the concubine who was born? She was full of anger and went towards the low-level concubine who had nothing to rely on.

According to Xiu Fu's euphemism, most of the low-level concubines who disappeared from the harem in the past two years were thanks to the Yuan family.

Now that Yun Fenghuang has been assigned to that palace, it is no longer a question of a bleak future, but it is simply a matter of misfortune...

Huzhu Palace is located in the northwest corner of the palace city, far away from the Yanfu Palace where the Queen lives, and even further away from the Taichu Palace where the Imperial Bedroom is located. The surrounding palaces have either been abandoned or have been vacant for many years, and even need to go through a relatively desolate road to reach it. Reachable.

It's like being alone overseas.

This shows how displeased the concubine named Yue was in the harem where the Ji family made the decision.

And Concubine Yue, the concubine who was wrongly placed in her lap, was even more unwelcome.

Yun Fenghuang stood at the door of the main hall for more than an hour before a stern-faced palace maid in pink came out and said in a lukewarm tone: "His wife told Baolin to go in and shut up."

"Should I invite Yun Baolin to the palace this time?" Yun Fenghuang and Nian Xuan walked in cautiously and saluted cautiously... They were not called up for a long time to salute. Seeing that they were standing shaky, they could no longer hold on. The leader of the group, a woman, snorted coldly and said in a bad tone, "I don't dare to offend Concubine Shu's clan sister, so let's go!"

Yun Fenghuang went and said he didn't dare, but Fu Cai, who was next to him, walked away tremblingly.

A palace lady was making tea with her legs and feet quickly, and while she was bowing her head to thank her, she glanced at Yuan who was not far away.
