Ling Rong's carriage drove slowly towards Ma's house, and his mood became more and more nervous. On the other side, Mrs. Ma had also received the news that Ling Rong had been selected, and felt a little melancholy.Now that the matter has come to this point, no matter whether she is happy or not, she can only arrange to celebrate, and she still needs to do it in a beautiful and decent way.

When Ling Rong got off the carriage, Madam Ma and his servants were waiting at the door. Seeing Ling Rong coming down, he hurriedly ordered people to set off firecrackers and play music, and then brought everyone forward to pay respects.Ling Rong's eyes were sour, and he quickly helped Ma Shi up. The sister-in-law and sister-in-law looked at each other silently, but they both saw the bitterness in each other's eyes.

"Have been tossing around all day, are you exhausted? Let's go home quickly, it's hot outside, you've got heatstroke." Madam Ma held Ling Rong's cold hand and said with a forced smile.

"Ling Rong has troubled my sister-in-law." Ling Rong lowered his eyes, and tears fell unconsciously.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's go home!" Mrs. Ma hurriedly brought the mausoleum into the door, and couldn't help but embrace the mausoleum in her arms until she entered the inner hall.Ling Rong buried her face in Ma Shi's arms and remained silent.

In the end, Madam Ma broke the silence, and asked softly, "Is the entry into the palace going well today? Your Majesty..." Mashi paused, not knowing how to ask the question.

She has always thought that Ling Rong is not stunning, but her family background is also very ordinary. Although after getting along with her, she will find that Ling Rong has many attractive advantages, but she is not a beauty at first glance.She thought that the selection of the palace was just a hasty moment, logically Lingrong should not be selected, and she didn't know why the emperor would like Lingrong.

"The palace is important, and the emperor is near. My sister has always been cautious, for fear of offending the nobleman and causing disaster. But I didn't expect that such a rigid appearance would catch the eyes of the queen mother. It is the queen mother..." Ling Rong said with emotion, feeling in her heart Silently ashamed of his lies.

"It turned out to be the Queen Mother's order." Madam Ma sighed, feeling self-defeating.

"Rong'er, it's your blessing to be favored by the Queen Mother, remember to cherish it." Madam Ma comforted.

"Yes, I will." Ling Rong agreed softly, her heart gradually calmed down, thinking about the way ahead.

"The food is all ready, let's use some of it, take a good rest after eating, I've been tired all day." Mrs. Ma dragged Ling Rong to the dining room, and stopped mentioning today's palace selection.

Three days later, the eunuch who passed the decree came, Ma Shi and Ling Rong took the servants around them to the hall to receive the decree.

"By God's blessing, the emperor ordered that An Lingrong, the daughter of An Bihuai, the Tongzhi of Chuzhou, was sealed as the sixth-ranker and will always be here. She will enter the palace on September [-]th. Here is the eunuch who announced the decree. Read aloud.

"Thank you, Majesty Long En." Everyone bowed their heads to thank Ling Rong, and Ling Rong stepped forward to accept the order. The big stone in her heart dropped a little, and she finally saw a different place again. This is a good start.

"This is Aunt Shunxin who teaches etiquette in the palace." Eunuch Xuanzhi pointed to Aunt Jiaoyin and said.

"I've met my aunt." Ling Rong gently leaned over to meet the ceremony, with a neither humble nor overbearing attitude.

"My lord, you are being polite. My servant Shunxin, seeing An Changzai, An Changzai is auspicious." Shunxin knelt down respectfully and saluted.

"Auntie, please get up quickly. Aunt Lao will take care of you in the next few days." Ling Rong motioned Qingyu to help Shunxin up, and said politely.

"Young master speaks seriously, that's what a servant should do." Shunxin stood up and replied.

"Father-in-law has worked hard. It's still hot outside. Let's go for a walk, father-in-law. Let's drink a bowl of iced sour plum soup to cool off." Mrs. Ma ordered some bowls of sour plum soup to be served, and gave one to each of the present father-in-law and aunt Shunxin. bowl.The sour plum soup is naturally only second, and the purse under the bowl is the key.

"Madam is so polite." Xuanzhi eunuch squeezed the weight of the purse in his hand, feeling satisfied.

"By the way, Aunt Shunxin has been in the palace for a long time, and she has won the trust of the empress dowager and the emperor. The young master must listen to the aunt's teachings." To reciprocate, the eunuch Xuanzhi specially emphasized the words "empress dowager", Mentioned Ling Rong.

"Thank you, father-in-law, for your suggestion." Ling Rong nodded knowingly and chuckled.

"It's getting late, and the slave has to go to the next house to declare the decree, so I won't stay any longer." The eunuch who made the decree said goodbye.

"Eunuch, go slowly." Mrs. Ma led Xuan Zhi's eunuch out, and then quietly stuffed a purse over there, inquiring about the results of the draft and the attitudes of the nobles and masters in the palace.After taking the benefits, the father-in-law happily revealed a thing or two.

"Auntie, it's almost noon, auntie hasn't had lunch yet, right? Why don't auntie take a nap first, and we can start studying after lunch?" Ling Rong suggested with a smile.

"Thank you for your understanding, my servant. It is better to be respectful than obedience." Shun Xin said respectfully, the expression on her face softened a lot.

"Qingyu, go to the kitchen and ask people to prepare more meals; Liuli, take aunt to the wing room to rest first, and see if there is anything else that needs to be added." Ling Rong ordered.

"Yes! Auntie please." Qingyu stepped forward to Shunxin.

"Your servant will leave." Shunxin saluted and left with Liuli Qingyu.

It wasn't until Shun Xin went down that Ling Rong breathed a sigh of relief. She was about to start an extremely restrained court life again, and Ling Rong couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Rong'er." Mrs. Ma came back from the outside, seeing Ling Rong's relieved expression, it was a little funny, but then he felt a little distressed.Once you enter the Houmen, it's as deep as the sea, and there will be no easy days to live in the future, so it's no wonder that Lingrong is nervous.

"Sister-in-law." Ling Rong smiled and stepped forward, Ma Shi patted Ling Rong's hand without speaking, feeling a little worried.Among the show girls selected this time, Ling Rong's family background is the lowest. I'm afraid life will be difficult after entering the palace. She still needs to make more preparations.

The next day, Shunxin began to teach the etiquette in the Mausoleum Palace, while Liuli and Qingyu were also learning from the side.After all, Lingrong is a person who has experienced it once, so he learned it quickly and standardly. This is because Lingrong deliberately restrained it, but it is still much faster than ordinary people, which makes Aunt Jiaoyin very satisfied.Such a well-behaved and smart young master, with the help of Arima House, may not be unfavorable in the future.People in the palace have always been snobbish, and no one is exempt, Shun Xin's attitude towards Ling Rong is much more respectful.

Lingrong also learned from Ma Shi that the situation of the selected girls this time was the same as what Lingrong remembered, except that Sun Miaoqing was not punished for her disrespect in front of the palace.

The boring study and life lasted for many days, and finally got some free time, but someone from the An family came.

"Grandmother! Mother! Why are you here?" Ling Rong looked at An's mother and Fang's who were busy in front of him, and his eyes were red.

"See my lord!" An's mother and Fang's led the crowd to salute the mausoleum.

"Grandmother! Mother! What are you doing?! Get up quickly!" Ling Rong's tears rolled down his cheeks, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help the two of them up.

"Rong'er..." Fang looked at Ling Rong with tears in his eyes.

"Ruozhu, this is not a place to talk, let's talk in the house." An Mu said calmly with red eyes.

"Yes, let's go first. Sapphire, come and serve tea!" Ling Rong hurriedly ushered the two into the room.

"Grandmother! Mother!" Ling Rong knelt in front of the two, his eyes were red.

"Rong'er! Get up!" Fang stepped forward to support Ling Rong with tears in his eyes.

"The child is not filial, and has failed the painstaking efforts of his grandmother and mother." Looking at the sad mother An and Fang, Ling Rong felt ashamed.

"My poor daughter..." Fang embraced Lingrong in her arms and burst into tears.

"Mother..." Ling Rong's throat tightened, and he wept silently.

"Ruozhu, Rong'er, put away your tears, it's not good for people to hear." An's mother wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and choked up.

Ling Rong and Fang Shi silently wiped away tears for each other, and stopped crying, but their eyes were still red.

"Rong'er, come here, come to grandma." Mother An waved her hand, motioning for Ling Rong to come forward.

"Grandmother..." Ling Rong looked at An's mother's gray hair at the temples, with a sore nose.

"Rong'er, since the matter cannot be changed, grandma has something to tell you." An's mother tidied up the mausoleum's appearance, and said slowly.

"Grandmother has something to do, just ask."

"Rong'er, you have to remember that the royal family is no more than ordinary people, and the emperor is no ordinary man. He will be your husband and your master."

"Rong'er save it." Ling Rong lowered her eyes, feeling uncomfortable in her heart, she never dared to expect extravagantly.

"Don't worry, Rong'er, listen to grandma." Mother An patted Ling Rong's hand and continued, "He is the master before people, but when there are only two of you, he is just your husband. You must remember this .If you set your role as a slave, then you will only be a slave in his heart!"

As soon as An's mother said this, Ling Rong couldn't help shaking, and the bits and pieces of the previous life couldn't help flashing before her eyes. There were some things that she couldn't see clearly before, but now she understands them a little bit.In the past, she always resented others, but it turned out that she was also responsible for some things...

"Rong'er, you have to remember that he is your husband, and you only need to do what a woman should do in front of him. Inside, a man will always be more tolerant to a woman. Don't be afraid, show it properly The true self. No one is perfect, too perfect and too far away will be boring." An Mu spoke carefully, and Ling Rong listened carefully.

"Oh... I thought that you are still young, so you can stay for another year or a half, and some things can be taught to you slowly, but who knows..." Mother An sighed and said distressedly: "This ordinary family will have three The wives and concubines are constantly competing for favor, and there are countless beauties in the harem, I'm afraid it's even more so. Rong'er, grandma doesn't ask you to bring much glory to the family, she just wants you to be safe and happy."

"Grandmother..." Ling Rong pursed her lips, lowered her head, not daring to look into An's mother's loving eyes.

"These were originally prepared for your dowry, but now..." An's mother paused, and continued sadly: "Grandmother asked you to convert those immovable items into taels of silver for you. , Money is absolutely indispensable. Your sister-in-law also promises to send you the harvest from the shops that are given to you once a year. No matter where you go, these yellow and white things are indispensable for your relationship, and you keep them yourself. " Mother An took out a small box and handed it to Ling Rong.

"Grandmother, Rong'er has some taels of silver, you can take them back!" The purchase was not light, and Ling Rong couldn't accept it, so she hurriedly pushed it back.

"The gift from the elders cannot be refused. If Rong'er doesn't accept it, I will be angry." An's mother deliberately said with a tiger face.

"Lingrong, thank you grandmother for your love." Lingrong accepted An's mother's kindness with a strong smile.

"Maybe you two haven't seen each other for a long time, go talk about your own words, I won't keep you anymore. I'm getting old, and I'm not as energetic as you young people, so I'll go to rest first." Mother An explained everything, So Fang Shi and Ling Rong left.

Ling Rong took Fang Shi to her room, and the mother and daughter couldn't help crying for a while before slowly calming down.Fang also brought a lot of things, most of which were valuables, jewellery, gold and silver fruits accounted for more than half, as well as some medicinal materials, cloth and other small items.

"Mother... what are you doing? Are you planning to let your daughter move all the belongings of the An family to the palace?" Ling Rong looked at the things Fang brought, both moved and distressed.

"It was something that Rong'er painstakingly managed, so you should take as much as you want!" Fang said while tidying up.

"Mother, my daughter is just a little resident, why did she bring so many things into the palace?" Ling Rong said with a wry smile.

"You don't need to worry about this. Your brother and sister-in-law have already taken care of it for you. These things are practical things, and they are indispensable." Fang continued to work without raising her head.

"Mother, don't be too busy, Rong'er wants to talk to you personally." Ling Rong held Fang's busy hand and said, Fang looked haggard a lot, Ling Rong looked distressed.

"Mother, my elder brother, Ling Yong, and I are not by your side. You have to take care of yourself and don't worry too much. Ling Jie and Ling Shu are smart and good children. You can take care of the family affairs slowly. They, this way you can relax a bit. And the father... mother, please try to relax." Lingrong reminded, always feeling a little bit uneasy.

"Rong'er, don't worry about the family affairs, mother will arrange for herself, your father's mother has been watched by others all the time, he will behave in his own way, don't worry. It's you, after entering the palace, be careful in everything. "

"Rong'er will meet, don't worry, mother."

The mother and daughter talked again, and Ling Rong waited on Fang to rest.After finally calming down, Ling Rong lay on the bed with his stomach, not sleepy.

There are still five days, and in five days she will enter that golden cage again, and she will see those people again!just wait...wait...
