Holding the Piano in the Red Chamber

Yuan Chun had doubts in her heart, so she naturally wanted to investigate. She was getting older and would not act impulsively like she was when she was a child. She planned to observe carefully for two days to see how other people reacted.

After all, she was also afraid that Baoqin would plot against her. The range of activities of the palace maid was much wider than that of the palace concubine, and she had contact with more people than her.

Among the places she can usually go, the first place is her own Jingren Palace, and there are only five rooms left after being locked. Thinking of this makes her angry; the second place is the Imperial Garden, where the concubine can only go in the afternoon. She is fine, she is a concubine, she can go every day, and the noble ones can only go out with the empress in her own palace.

The third place is the Queen's Palace, please go there, you can't be shaken, you have to go every day, even if the Queen doesn't have time to talk to them, in order to show respect, you have to sit in the side room for a quarter of an hour.

Coming down is the Empress Dowager's Compassion Palace, which can only be visited with the empress.

Finally, it was Dong Bin's palace, and the two would visit each other when they were bored.But now there are only the two of them in the palace besides the queen, the competition is very fierce, and they won't walk around with each other if they have nothing to do.

There are only so many places, although concubines are not restricted to move around in the palace, but if you have nothing to do and go to Qianqing Palace or Yangxin Palace, then wait for the confinement.Or go around the uninhabited Jingyang Palace, Zhongcui Palace, etc. Who are you, where are you going?

If the answer is to go shopping, no one will believe it.

To this extent, Yuan Chun is not as good as Baoqin. She can also go to the Twelve Palaces of the inner court by cleaning up the palace and other reasons. If she is lucky, she can even go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Last time, I heard from the little maid in the palace that Aunt Baoqin often went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to deliver snacks at the Empress Dowager's order.

Having such a good opportunity and not yet grasping it, Yuan Chun secretly scolded him for being an idiot.

After entering the palace, the maids have to train for three months before they can be considered teachers.Some of them used to belong to young ladies, such as Baochai. After entering the palace, there was a huge gap. There used to be a room for each person, and there were maids who went to the night at night. Now it is good, Datongpu.

Baochai is not bad, she is good-looking, she has connections at home, and she can make money, so she chooses the princess to attend her study, so she lives in a room with five people, but because of this, some people don't like her up.

This time, a total of nine people were selected as attendants, and they lived in two rooms, with both external and internal troubles.The worry is that there are hundreds of people left to stumbling them, and the worry is that there are only two final places.

At best, external troubles are a small trip, stepping on someone's foot, or a verbal run, and at most, it is accidentally knocking someone's bowl or pouring tea or something.

After all, they are all 13-year-old girls, there is no such harmful equipment in the palace, it is just a small fight, and there are twenty aunts watching, big mistakes can't be made.

After Baoqin watched it a few times, Baochai really seemed mature and stable among this group of people. Of course, it may be because their team of nine people has a special place and two aunts are in charge.

Baoqin didn't know that Mrs. Wang told Baochai that there was an ungrateful maid in the palace who went out from Jia's family, but Baoqin didn't mean to scare the little maid, and Baochai's opinion of her didn't affect the overall situation at all.

Anyway, as long as her brother is Xue Pan, she will leave the palace in a matter of minutes.Whether it is choosing concubines or palace maids in the palace, the first thing to look at is virtue, and there should be no flaws at all. It is obvious that the rhythm of directly losing points is directly due to the death of a brother.

Ever since Baochai entered the palace and Baoqin said a few provocative words, Yuanchun felt a little frightened. In the blink of an eye, a month later, she had invited her to the Queen Mother's palace twice, and Baoqin could be seen every time, but Baoqin seemed to be all right, without squinting her eyes, so that Yuanchun couldn't help but look at her.

And the Empress Dowager, and Concubine Yu, especially the latter, would they choose Baochai to enter the palace?

Yuan Chun was in a dilemma. After all, they were relatives of his own family, and there was a high possibility that they were going after Concubine Yu, but the wife didn't say that she would send someone in.

Yuan Chun's heart of wanting to drive people out was slightly dominant, she felt that she would rather miss it than let it go, Baochai should not be a helper sent by the family, otherwise the wife said it last time, besides, she is a concubine, Baochai Chai is just a court lady, how can I help?Didn't she have to help Baochai become a concubine first, besides Baochai is only thirteen, she is already seventeen, how can she make ends meet, if her favor is taken away, she will have no place to cry.

But you have to think about how to do it.

Theoretically, they are still sisters, if His Majesty feels that she cannot tolerate others, it will be even more troublesome.

The more Yuan Chun thinks, the more he jumps into the well of Baoqin. After all, revenge is not a matter of a day or two. You have to make people crazy before you can start.

Baoqin watched Yuanchun eat more and eat less, don't be too happy, the mood is starting to be unstable.It's fine if it's unstable, even if you dodge this time, there will be a next time.

Because when I was in the Seventh Prince's Mansion earlier, it was very appropriate to hold the piano to serve the meals of the whole mansion. The emperor also mentioned a few words to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother kept applauding after using it.

There are not as few people in the Palace as the Seventh Prince's Mansion, where you can just order what you want to eat. There are many people in the palace, and the big dining hall with thousands of people is of course less flexible. The recipes are all ready-made, according to the season. The health regimen is arranged, and everything is ready before sending out.Although there are two imperial dining rooms, one is a large kitchen, which is in charge of the food and drink of the entire palace, and the other is a small kitchen with only ten stoves, which is specially used for small stoves for the emperor, empress dowager and others.However, the use rate of this small kitchen is not high, because everyone cares about face, and is afraid that someone will say something that wastes people and money. I think that the first emperor used the small kitchen more times, and was also used by the imperial censor.

But it's also quite strange, the censor doesn't live in the palace, how could he know that His Majesty used a small stove?

Ruicheng has been busy making up his homework these days, and in more than two months, he has read less than half of the memorials his father has approved in his life, so there is still something wrong with it.

But his father is dead, there is no place to ask, the ministers in the court, especially those who are older, always follow the same routine.Ruicheng was a little aggrieved, he didn't want to break the old rules, he just wanted to ask why, but if he said a few more words, those old men burst into tears, wishing they could hit a pillar and die to show their loyalty to the late emperor.

Well, I can’t ask, so let’s take a closer look, Ruicheng is a hardworking and good emperor.

Turning to Baoqin, the first time she served the Queen Mother for dinner, she gave the Queen Mother a big surprise.

Of the three major things in life, the Queen Mother only has two left, eating and sleeping.

Holding the piano to serve the meal, needless to say, sometimes you don't even need to glance at her eyes. She asked the little eunuch to pick up chopsticks and chopsticks, and it was all the Queen Mother's favorite.

It is actually quite painful not to be able to move your own chopsticks when eating, especially when the people below do not understand what you mean, it is even more painful.The queen mother couldn't remember the name of the dish, so she said: "The yellow one over there, go to the right one." Well, the queen mother became irritable when the two chopsticks couldn't catch it.

Waiting to feed can't hurt.

Now with the Baoqin, all worries are gone.

After Baoqin served her a few times, the queen mother felt that she couldn't do without her more and more.

After much deliberation, the Empress Dowager felt that she had to give her some reward, so she told the emperor, "It's okay, let the younger brother who is holding the piano come to the palace to see my elder sister. The child is only young, and she must have suffered a lot in Jia's mansion. .Let him see his sister, and the whole family will be relieved."

The emperor agreed, so after more than a month, Baoqin saw Xiaobao again.

Boys developed late, and they were still young at the age of 12, which confirmed the rumors that they suffered hardships in Jia's mansion.

The eunuch took the two of them to the side hall of Qianqing Palace, served tea and left.

Seeing her sister, Xiaobao burst out laughing suddenly, and said, "I've got people to block the pool in Ning Mansion, and I'm going to piss them off."

Baoqin followed suit with a smile, "This is a good idea. Although I can't find anything wrong now, it's good to be angry."

Xiao Bao nodded, "It's a pity that Daddy can't come back."

Baoqin looked at Xiaobao's appearance of wanting to cry again, and hurriedly hugged him in his arms, patting his head, and said: "One day they will have their retribution, and it's not just our father who died at their hands One, there is always something to check.”

Xiaobao gave a muffled hum, and broke away from Baoqin's arms.

Baoqin asked, "How is Mom?"

Xiao Bao shook his head and nodded again, "It's all right now, I've lost a lot of weight, but I don't talk so much anymore."

"Brother also came last time, wearing a military uniform, looking much stronger than before, knelt on the ground and cried hard before leaving."

The two exchanged recent overviews, Baoqin thought for a while, since Xiaobao had already asked people to fill the pond in Ningfu, or before Baochai entered the palace, some things should go further, maybe take a little risk Yes, "Go and check the new Xue family in Jia's mansion. I heard my wife tell Yuan Chun a few words in the mansion earlier. Those who have paid the money are inseparable from the Jia family."

Xiaobao was a little skeptical, looked at Baoqin and asked: "It's nothing more than driving her out, does it take so much effort?" After speaking, Xiaobao hesitated and said: "Sister, do you want to create a gap between the two of them? "

Baoqin smiled, "Of course it's more than that, you'll know later."

Xiao Bao nodded, hugged the piano and said: "Check it, check it, you can't follow those bastard places!"

Xiao Bao glared at her and nodded.

Baoqin confessed again: "I calculate that they entered the palace on March [-]th, you can find a chance to tell His Majesty at the end of May and early June."

Looking at Xiaobao's curious eyes, Baoqin smiled and said, "You can figure it out after you find out."

Xue Pan’s nickname is the Overlord. Although the word “Bawang” is used to say that he is brave, it is not a good word to add the word “Dai” in front of him. Moreover, he has been used to being arrogant and domineering since he was a child. He didn’t know how to restrain himself when he came to the capital. Ask, and you will know everything.

So within a month, Little Treasure thoroughly investigated a series of things such as his beating to death, and waited for the time to tell His Majesty.

For the selection of the princess, her brother is a stain of misconduct, and he will be eliminated in the first round, so how did she get in, and who was involved?For such a small number of palace maids, how many people will open the door for convenience, and no one will be able to escape by then.

In the blink of an eye, two months passed, and the training of the maids was almost coming to an end. The performance of the nine maids serving as princess servants was all eye-catching, nothing more than slightly better, but nothing particularly outstanding.

It's almost time, I went back to the Empress Dowager holding the piano, and took a few outstanding new maids to the Palace of Compassion on the [-]th day. The euphemistic name is, first let the Empress Dowager palm her eyes, and look at the maids of this period. What are their results.

The queen mother happily agreed.

What is the concept of fifteen, the concubines will come to pay their respects.

Sure enough, several groups of people met in the Compassion Ning Palace.

Baoqin came out of the Palace of Compassion and Ning with Baochai and a few other outstanding court ladies, just as Shulan came in with her two concubines.

After the two parties saluted, Baoqin said to Shulan: "I'll bring these good maids to show the queen mother first." Shulan nodded, holding Qin and said with a smile: "The queen mother loves the queen, Said to let you choose first."

Shulan glanced at it, and said, "There's Jia Bin's younger sister inside?" Why did Yuan Chun think this sound harsh?Jia Pin's younger sister is a court lady.

Holding the piano, Baochai came out and said: "This is it. I can read and write poems." He pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "But I can't tell the difference between good and bad. You learn the rules quickly, and you are also stable."

"You come to my palace at night, I have something to tell you." Shulan said to Baoqin, then turned her head and said to Yuan Chun behind her: "It's your sister, why haven't I seen you for the past two months? Tell her to go to your palace." inside?"

Yuan Chun's face was a little unnatural, could it be said that he was afraid that she would come in and compete for favor? "Your Majesty, my younger sister came in to choose the maid of honor, so I asked her to come in for no reason, I'm afraid it will spare the judgment of the aunt in charge."

"It's better to stay in the palace with the recommendation of my aunts based on my real skills." Yuan Chun added.

Shulan hummed, thinking that everyone knew she was your younger sister, "It's been more than two months, and it's not bad this time, I'll let her go to your palace to have a good chat later. It’s been almost three months since I left home, I must have missed my relatives very much.”

Yuan Chun said yes in a low voice, and followed Shulan into the Empress Dowager's palace.
