Chapter 443 A Stranger’s Rise to Power (11)
Furong Palace is located on the east side of the Imperial Palace, not far from the Qianqing Palace. When you go out, you will see the Imperial Garden with clusters of flowers, which is a perfect place to enjoy the scenery.
Shen Yao briefly met the palace maids of Furong Palace, and then asked Xiaofu and Xiaoji to fetch the items that had been delivered in advance by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. She sat by the window of the main hall, enjoying the scenery of the palace gently and quietly.
The scenery of Hibiscus Palace is as its name suggests, with numerous hibiscus trees visible everywhere.
The hibiscus tree is also known as the tree of love. Its flowers are also very unique, half red and half white, with thread-like filaments, so it is called "velvet flower".
The hibiscus tree blooms from May to June. Shen Yao entered the palace in early to mid-April. Looking at the hibiscus tree that had already grown flower buds, she felt that the emperor had really chosen a good place for her.
There was a burst of noise coming from outside the door. Xiaofu stretched out his hand to direct everyone to put the items sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs into the warehouse, and then arranged for Xiaoji to keep an eye on it. He turned around and went into the house to report to his master.
Shen Yao turned around and waved, "Do you know how many concubines live in Furong Palace?"
Xiaofu said, "There are three or four old people in the back hall who entered the palace a few years ago. I have inquired privately and found that they are not very favored."
In other words, before the master moved into Hibiscus Palace, there had never been a main seat in the palace.
Shen Yao said "oh" when she heard that, and thought to herself no wonder those servants in Furong Palace were so excited and happy to see her, it seemed like they wanted to get close to her and curry favor with her.
“Go to the back hall of Hibiscus Palace for me later to get some ornaments suitable for gift giving.
I just heard that I have just entered the palace, and I have to go to Fengyi Palace to pay my respects to the Queen tomorrow, so it is not convenient for me to entertain them. I hope they will not blame me."
"What are you saying, Your Majesty? It's my fault that my body is too weak and I can't handle the illness." Zhang Yunu, who was lying on her side on the bed, looked thin and had a hoarse voice. She raised her hand to signal her maid to send Xiaofu, who had come to visit her, and turned around and started coughing softly again.
Although the rear hall of Furong Palace is also within Furong Palace, it is very different from the front hall where Shen Yao is.
Xiaofu smiled and declined Zhang Yunv's kindness, left the jewelry on her hand, raised her foot to salute, and turned to leave.
Similar to Zhang Yu'nu's situation, the other two, Hou Baolin and Yuan Cainü, also had their own minor health problems.
After completing this trip for his master and returning safely, Xiaofu felt relieved for the time being.
Although it might seem a bit unfair to think this way, seeing is believing. Given the current physical conditions of the three of them, I'm afraid they can't cause trouble to their master for the time being.
"Since you are seriously ill, you should have someone take more care of you.
We are new here, so let’s not talk about other things for now, we must protect Furong Palace well.”
There can't be any mistakes in your own back garden, otherwise you'll be laughed at if someone steals from you.
Xiaofu nodded in agreement, saying that she would definitely arrange for more people to take care of the elderly people living in the back hall. No matter whether they were pretending or real, they would not be allowed to run out and get in the way of their master.
Shen Yao waved her hand and asked Xiaofu to go down and rest. He had not rested since entering the palace. "I will be busy tomorrow. Besides, the situation in the palace needs you and Xiaoji. Relax at the right time and don't be too tense."
The situation in the palace is complicated, especially for the several palace masters.
Shen Yao patted her face to cheer herself up, then got up and went to the inner room to sit beside the bed to rest.
"System, let me first talk about the three palace masters who entered the palace with me. There are so many residences in the palace, so we must know this and that before we can arrange the next step."
Rather than asking people around her to find out, Shen Yao chose to ask the system.
system:……
Host, this is not the way to take advantage of others. No matter what, you have to respect its authority as a system.
"Isn't this respecting your authority?" Shen Yao said perfunctorily, "Tell me the situation quickly. The emperor will definitely choose between us tomorrow night."
The rules of the Yu Kingdom’s palace are really a matter of whether they are good or not, or whether they are bad or not.
If you say it has too many rules, I can pass a lot of them by myself. If you say it has too few rules, it has a bunch of inexplicable rules.
Shen Yao shook her head speechlessly and found a comfortable place to lie down.
The system has answered Shen Yao's question, 'The three main seats in the first palace are Zheng Xiurong who lives in Lanxin Palace, Deng Chongyuan who lives in Yuqing Palace, and Shen Jieyu who lives in Xuanting Pavilion.'
Shen Yao then asked the system to display the map of the palace and marked the locations of these three people.
Among them, Lanxin Palace has a better location. Although it is not the closest to Qianqing Palace, the palace gate is well connected and can lead to everywhere. Yuqing Palace and Xuanting Pavilion are a little further back, but they are also very consistent with the life stories of the two.
Compared to herself, a concubine who got lucky, Shen Yao touched her chin and thought, "I feel like I'm being targeted."
She was not born into a high-class family, her background was rather humble, and her appearance was not particularly beautiful, yet she could still attract the emperor's special regard... She always felt that she would become cannon fodder in the harem and be the first target of everyone's fire.
system:……
The system thought that the host was so perceptive and his idea was right.
Isn't it just being targeted? Even the host has already given him a big name in front of the Imperial Concubine and the Virtuous Concubine.
"Don't be afraid. If you are not envied, you are a mediocre person." Is she an ordinary person? It's good to be envied. The more jealous others are, the more the emperor will value her.
Otherwise, why is it said that the favorite concubine is disliked by everyone but loved by only one person?
Shen Yao waved her hand and let the system find a place to play. She took a nap and when she opened her eyes again, it was already dark outside.
Xiaofu and Xiaoji worked together and had figured out the general situation of the entire Furong Palace.
Although the servants in Hibiscus Palace still don’t know what is good or bad, but as time goes by, people’s true colors will be revealed. As long as you spend more time with them, there will be no one you can’t figure out.
"Master, would you like me to bring you dinner?"
Xiaofu walked up to Shen Yao, helped her up and sat her down in front of the dressing table.
"Well, bring it here."
I was a little hungry because I hadn't eaten properly all day.
Shen Yao let Xiaofu untie her messy hair and comb it again. Finally, when he tried to put a hairpin in it, she refused and said, "Don't go out. This is fine."
There's no need to make your hair jingle all over; it's not a mobile jewelry display cabinet, and Shen Yao doesn't have the imperial concubine's exaggerated aesthetic.
Complaining a little in her heart about the imperial concubine's attire during the initial interview, Shen Yao sat at the octagonal table and waited for all the food to be served before she slowly began to eat.
"Although the taste is a bit light, it is refreshing and not greasy. Your future diet should follow the standards delivered today," Shen Yao put down his bowl and chopsticks and gave a few instructions, then got up and went to the yard to move around.
It is the transition period between spring and summer, and it will be a bit cold in places with many trees in the palace.
Shen Yao was wearing a thin layer of clothes which was not too thick. Seeing this, Xiao Ji quickly took out a cloak and covered her with it.
"Don't be busy. You and Xiaofu have worked hard today. Each of you should take some silver and go to the imperial kitchen to order a dish for yourself in my name."
There are clear ranks in the palace. Just because Shen Yao has an easy life doesn’t mean her maids will have an easy life too.
Upon hearing this, Xiaoji hurriedly thanked his master for his concern and thought that his master was so kind.
In the afternoon, I complained to Sister Xiaofu that everyone in the palace looked down on others. They went to the imperial kitchen and did nothing but had to pay to stay there and smile. This was because their master was the head of a palace.
They dare not even think about what would happen if they were serving a low-ranking master who was not favored.
After waving her hand to let Xiaoji leave, Shen Yao walked around Furong Palace as if no one was around.
When they met the former servants of the palace on the way, they all looked at Shen Yao with flattering expressions, obviously treating Shen Yao as a noble lady who could lead them out of their miserable state.
"Everyone likes to seek benefits and avoid harm, especially those in the palace who are used to the fickleness of the world."
No matter who enters the palace, they will not have the mentality to endure hardship and suffering, so fighting with each other is inevitable.
"We have a big show tomorrow, so we need to get enough rest," Shen Yao leisurely fiddled with the hairpin on her head.
The system was puzzled, "Host, maybe the Queen will not see you?"
Shen Yao disagreed, "Wouldn't it be better not to meet? The Queen doesn't even want to be perfunctory on the surface, so how long can the Emperor tolerate her?"
No matter how the queen retained her position, you must know that the one sitting on the dragon throne is the current emperor.'
There is a hidden meaning in these words. The system somewhat understands and somewhat doesn't understand them, but this will not affect the plug-in provided by the system to Shen Yao.
After a good rest, I woke up the next day feeling refreshed and put on makeup.
Shen Yao changed her previous low-key attitude and asked Xiaofu and Xiaoji to fetch the long dress that shone like a galaxy in the sun, and paired it with a tasseled gold hairpin that fell to her shoulders. "Today we are paying our respects to the Queen, so we must be solemn and respectful."
Xiaoji, Xiaofu: ...
But wouldn’t it seem too solemn and respectful for the master to be dressed like this?
Shen Yao's expression was indifferent, but the tone of her voice did not allow anyone to interfere. Even if Xiaofu and Xiaoji were hesitant, they could only do what their master said wholeheartedly.
Soon, a beautiful woman in glittering and gorgeous clothes appeared in the bronze mirror.
Shen Yao turned around and nodded with satisfaction, "Let's go."
Fengyi Palace is not far from Furong Palace. Since Shen Yao has chosen to make a high-profile appearance, she will be high-profile to the end.
Just have someone prepare a sedan chair. This is an exception for the main seats of the left and right palaces (although they have not yet entered the emperor's bed, their positions have been conferred).
After about a cup of tea, Shen Yao appeared in the corridor outside Fengyi Palace.
Naturally, she was not the first to arrive, and she almost became the last.
Including Zheng Xiurong, who had the highest rank in this selection, they were already waiting outside with the palace servants. When they looked up and saw Shen Yao coming down in a sedan chair in a radiant manner, they suddenly felt more disdain and disgust in their hearts.
I thought she was a smart person, but she turned out to be stupid. It seems that she won't be able to stay in the position of imperial concubine for long.
'Guess what they're thinking of me? I bet it's nothing nice.'
Shen Yao finished speaking to the system in a playful manner, then greeted everyone with a smile.
The pleasant sounds came one after another, and for a moment it made people dazzled.
Shen Yao's high-profile arrival was only an interlude, and the arrival of Concubine De and Concubine Gui one after another made the atmosphere more lively.
Unfortunately, when Nanny Gui from the Queen's palace came out to explain that the Queen was unwell and could not meet them, and only asked them to bow and greet at the palace gate, everyone who had been hiding their dissatisfaction in their hearts began to show their emotions on their faces.
