New Year's Eve.

At the right time, Guo Luoluo was woken up by the court maid when Chang Zai was there, and all the concubines had to go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to greet the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager together early this morning.Like Concubine Concubine, Promise, Chang Zai, and nobles have to pay respects to the main concubine in the palace, so they have to get up half an hour earlier.

It was a little late when Guo Luoluo got up, so Mu Mian hurriedly took a plate of snacks and asked the young master to use two pieces, and then Daylily came forward to serve Guo Luoluo, who was washing and putting on makeup.

When the preparations were made, the little eunuch waiting outside had already run back and forth three times—the main hall was lit!Mu Mian became more and more anxious, waiting for Guo Luoluo Changzai to change into a sandalwood red flag embroidered with patterns of wealth and wealth that was given by the concubine Yi yesterday and rushed to make by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then put on a brown fur cloak with a hood. Tightening the neckline, he hurriedly led the two of them out of the Xibei Hall to the front yard to pay respects to Concubine Yi.

Kowtow to Concubine Yi, and after saying a few words, Concubine Yi got into the sedan chair, and Guo Luoluo often followed the sedan chair to the Palace of Compassion.

After another incense stick, a group of people walked along the corridor, through the corridor, along the stretching green walls of the palace, and finally landed in front of the gate of the Compassionate Palace, which was brightly lit with candles and decorated with lanterns.

The nanny waiting in front of the palace gate smiled deeply, and led Yipin and Guo Luoluo along the bluestone avenue into the corridor.

The nanny first invited Yipin into the flower hall.It's still early for the formal greetings, but Concubine Zhao, Concubine Tong and several other concubines and masters in the flower hall have all arrived, chatting and laughing together, seeing Concubine Yi enter the flower hall alone, the concubines who were chatting in the flower hall couldn't help but stare. There was a flash of regret.

Concubine Shun looked at everyone's expressions, smiled and said to Concubine Yi: "Sister Yi, Guo Luoluo is always here, except for Sister Jing, none of us have seen each other before? Why don't you call in to have a look first? "

Concubine Tong smiled and nodded, seeing Concubine Tong nodded, Concubine Zhao didn't seem to care.Concubine Yi was embarrassed to decline, so she had to call Guo Luoluo, who was still waiting at the door, to kowtow to the concubines.

Concubine Zhao indicated to the palace servants to bring a futon and put it in the center. Concubine Tong was afraid of being left behind, so she hurriedly sent someone to get an embroidered pier, but Concubine Yi said, "Sister Tong, Guo Luoluo will be here soon. I have to go outside to pay respects with other younger sisters next time, so this embarrassment will be spared."

Concubine Tong just gave up.

Guo Luoluo often held his breath and bowed his head, honestly kneeling on the futon to kowtow to the concubines.

After being called out, Guo Luoluo Changzai still lowered his head slightly, staring directly at the back of his feet, allowing the concubines to look at him carefully.Seeing that Guo Luoluo is always obedient and sensible, Yipin's heart was finally relieved, and she continued to talk to everyone with a soft smile on her face.

"As expected of sister Yipin, this girl is so good at training her." Huipin covered her mouth and chuckled, "I was told by sister Jingpin, what kind of character did I think Guo Luoluo Changzai was?"

Concubine Jing's face sank: "Sister Yipin is Guo Luoluo's elder sister who is always there. I can't compare this sisterhood. It's not that Yipin's sister will honestly understand what rules are when she opens her mouth!"

"Sister Hui is joking," Yi Concubine glanced at Jing Concubine and said with a smile, "Guo Luoluo is often drafted into the palace, how can he not understand the rules? It's just that he is a bit pampered at home, and he is not used to it in the palace. It's too jumpy, it's a bit lively and cheerful. After a long time now, I will naturally understand."

But Guo Luoluo was always feeling uncomfortable... She felt like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, being carefully scrutinized and evaluated by the concubines.After taking turns laughing at himself, he waved his hand to let himself back down.Only Concubine Xian rewarded Guo Luoluo with a bracelet that she took off when she knelt down.

Holding the bracelet, she went out of the flower room and entered the second room, and was surrounded by other nobles and regulars, who even sarcastically talked about it.Guo Luoluo's face was always stiff, and his hands couldn't help stirring the handkerchief, his heart seemed to have fallen from a boulder, falling endlessly downwards.

When it was only a quarter before Si time, Su Mala led four nuns and eight maids into the second room, and kindly greeted all the concubines with blessings, and then invited all the concubines of the next room Line up in two rows in order of rank, and follow her to the courtyard of the main hall.

Thick futons had already been laid out in order in the courtyard, and the low-ranking concubines stood in order.At this moment, the concubines in the flower hall came out, Concubine Zhao took the lead, Concubine Tong was a few steps behind her, Concubine Hui was on the left behind her, Concubine Yi was on the right, and the other concubines followed behind.

Concubine Tong and the others slowly approached the main hall under the leadership of the palace staff, and after a while, they heard the voice of the little eunuch, Guo Luoluo often knelt and kowtowed together obediently.After getting up, he walked into the main hall with the guidance of the nanny and listened to the instructions of the two empress dowagers.

The instructions of the two empress dowagers were read by the trusted eunuchs. After reading the instructions of the empress dowager, all the concubines knelt down and kowtowed, and then stood up to listen to the instructions of the empress dowager.

The content of the instruction is like an old lady's foot wrap, smelly and long, most of the content is very similar.Guo Luoluo often listened to it down below, making him drowsy and confused.

When it was all over, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on her face. Originally, Chang Zai, Promise and the concubines should return to the palace at this moment.

However, since it was the [-]th year, the two empress dowagers were kind and felt that it was a pity for Chang Zai, Xu and the concubines to celebrate the new year with their servants in the palace, so they allowed everyone to go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to watch a show and have dinner, and to gather together for a while get together.

As time passed, Guo Luoluo, who was in a good mood at first, gradually realized that she would rather go back to the palace and rest!

The opera singing started in the afternoon, and the whole morning was spent talking with the two empress dowagers in the Palace of Compassion and Peace.As a mere resident, Guo Luoluo's only value in changzai is probably standing behind Yibi like a wooden stake. Now, she already understands why kapok and daylilies had to be rehabilitated for her feet last night. It's massage and hot water.

Around her, every Changzai, Xuying and Concubine concubines had straight backs and stood upright, with their hands crossed and resting in front of the flag naturally, as if they were all carved out of a mold.

There was even a smile on the corners of everyone's mouths, listening to the chats of the two empress dowagers, elder brothers, princesses, noble masters, concubines and concubines, and nodded in agreement, of course they were not asking questions. Under the circumstances, it is impossible to speak a word.

Guo Luoluo Changzai secretly sighed.She raised her head slightly, looking at the concubines in the palace with divided attention.

The empress dowager and the empress dowager sit at the top and center, the crown prince sits below the empress dowager, and the second elder brother, third elder brother, eldest princess, and second princess sit below the empress dowager.The fifth prince, sixth prince, third princess, and fourth princess, no matter how young they were, did not sit at the top, but were held by their nurses and stood beside their respective mothers and concubines.

Guo Luoluo's eyes often fell on Mrs. Ma Jia, who was sitting on an embroidered pier diagonally behind. She was sitting behind Mrs. Bu and Mr. An, and she was obviously a little restless.Following her gaze, Guo Luoluo often found that her attention was completely on the fifth elder brother, and she didn't give any attention to the second princess.

The second princess who was sitting next to the queen mother was obviously a little disappointed, she was in a daze on the stage with her mouth pursed and a stiff smile on her face.

Pity the second princess——Guo Luoluo is always curling her lips, meeting a real mother like nobleman Ma Jia, and an adoptive mother like Concubine Jing!Guo Luoluo's constant gaze involuntarily looked towards Concubine Jing who was sitting next to Concubine Yi.

Sure enough, Concubine Jing didn't pay attention to how the second princess on the stage was lost, and she was all about chatting with Concubine Shu and Concubine Hui—both concubines gave birth to sons in the palace, especially Concubine Hui, who raised a third elder brother. The healthiest and strongest in the palace.

"Sister Hui, your third elder brother looks really good!" Concubine Shu couldn't help being moved, but when she looked at the third elder brother and then at the sixth elder brother who was on Concubine Tong, she could only secretly sigh.

Concubine Hui naturally understood, she couldn't help looking proudly at Baoqing who was talking to the queen mother on the stage, and chuckled lightly: "The younger sisters just haven't come yet, and naturally they will be able to have sons and daughters in the future, and blossom and bear fruit."

"Sister, I, Sister Hui, you are very lucky..." Shu Pin smiled wryly. She and Sixth Brother only saw each other from a distance during the palace banquet, and they were never seen at ordinary times.

What's more, isn't the emperor's promotion of her position just to let her pretend that she doesn't have a son like Sixth Brother!

"Sister Shu, Concubine Tong's master is now one level higher than you, if you can...wouldn't you be afraid that elder brother Liu won't come back to your side?" Concubine Jing murmured in a low voice.

Concubine Shu shook her head: "I don't have such great ambitions, I just hope that Concubine Tong can get pregnant as soon as possible, and if she has her own child, she will return Brother Six to me, and I will be satisfied."

Before listening to Concubine Hui, Concubine Shu and Concubine Jing chatting a few words, it was time for lunch, Chang Zai, Xu Yan and concubines were not eligible to stay in the main hall for meals.Guo Luoluo often followed the big troops, and after doing a blessing ceremony together, he followed Su Mala to the side hall to have a meal and rest with the other concubines.

"Masters," Su Mala said kindly to the concubines standing in the side hall with a smile, "You can rest here for an hour. When the time comes, the servants will take you masters to the front yard to listen to the opera."

He looked at some of them with uneasy expressions and said with a smile: "If you need to go to the official room, young master, please leave this room and go to the top room next door."

"Thank you auntie."

The so-called official room in the palace is actually going out to go to the toilet.Seeing Su Mala mentioning this, several concubines in the crowd blushed and hurried out of the room to the top.

Su Mala smiled slightly, and after giving a deep blessing in front of everyone, she went back to the main hall to serve her.As soon as Su Mala left, the whole atmosphere relaxed, and they all found a seat to sit down and rest, and ate a few pieces of snacks.

But in Guo Luoluo's eyes, there is still a big difference.Many concubines in this room are concubines, some hold the position of concubine, and some hold the position of nobleman or resident.However, concubine concubine concubine's name is not right after all, and they are not even qualified to eat in the main hall on formal occasions, but they still don't want to stand with other Chang Zai promises, so they occupy a place alone.

The rest of them, Chang Zai and Xu Xu, sat on the high-backed chair in front and promised to sit on the embroidered pier at the back. No one would dare to sit by mistake.

"Sister Guo Luoluo, why don't you come and rest your feet?" Seeing Guo Luoluo standing there alone, Dai Jiachang smiled and invited her.

"Thank you, sister." Guo Luoluo often pursed his lips and smiled, walked over two steps quickly, and sat down on the only vacant chair. They all looked at each other and smiled, without the earlier hostility, and ate glutinous rice dumplings together I took two bites.

Everyone knew in their hearts that it was only halfway through and there was still a whole afternoon to night to stand!

"Sister, I really wish I could go back to the palace to rest!" Wan Liuha Changzai of Yanxi Palace was the youngest, complaining in a low voice at the moment.

"Sister be careful!" Dai Jiachang was taken aback, quickly looked around at the nurses and palace servants, and whispered, "It is our honor to serve the two empress dowagers and masters, how can we complain!"

Wan Liuha often blushed, it should be.

After being disturbed by this 'little matter', everyone immediately lost their energy to speak, closed their eyes and rested their minds, and waited for the nuns to come in again to call for help, and then stood up and continued the afternoon's work with smiles on their faces.

After lunch, Kangxi came with the crown prince, Chenghu and Baoqing.Guo Luoluo often looked at the concubine with sharp eyes, Concubine Hui's back was straight, the smile on her face became sincere, and she looked at Elder Brother Baoqing tenderly.

It is inevitable that there are only three older elder brothers in total, two of them were descended from the former empress, only the third elder brother was descended from Concubine Hui.Concubine Hui is the only one, so it's no wonder that her status in the palace cannot be shaken.

Sure enough, as soon as she saw the third elder brother, the empress dowager immediately mentioned Concubine Hui: "Give these two bracelets from the Ai family to Concubine Hui! Concubine Hui has done a good job to raise such a healthy and good child as elder brother San !"

Speaking of this, the Empress Dowager sighed again, and looked around at the concubines: "There are still a few elder brothers in the palace. The Aijia hopes that your stomachs will be able to live up to their expectations, blossom and bear fruit as soon as possible, and add a dragon heir to the emperor. Those who conceived have their own merits, and the Ai family will be greatly rewarded!"
