Zhen Huan and colleagues Mi Wan Ling Xin

The phase of the world.It's just that after the King Regent's party was wiped out, the Empress Dowager became seriously ill. She thought she was exhausted physically and mentally, so she decided to go back to hermitage to take care of her. Intervene in the affairs of the imperial court and the harem, and only leave everything to the empress for disposal.

012. Enter the palace

The concubines in the palace are divided into eight ranks and sixteen ranks.Those who just entered the palace like Gu Mi are just low-level concubines, not the heads of the inner court, they can only be called "little masters", they live in the attic courtyard of the palace, and there is no main hall to live in.Only the noble concubines of the third grade can be called "Master" or "Niangniang", and are eligible to become the head of the inner court, occupy the main hall, and take charge of the affairs of the first palace.Although there are many concubines and concubines in the harem, since the current empress has been canonized as empress, the position of the fourth concubine of the first rank, noble, virtuous and virtuous has been vacant.

Since the imperial decree was issued, Mother Gu has been busy preparing the clothes for Gu Mi to bring into the palace. She can't bring too much to look petty, and she can't bring too little to make her look underestimated. She must also be exquisite. Generous.

The night before entering the palace, family members can meet and see off as a rule.Gu Mi couldn't hold back her tears and looked at the slightly tired father and mother in front of her, choked up and said, "Father, mother, you won't suffer much grievances when you enter the palace this time. The eldest brother of your two children is in Beijing, and the three After the elder brother returns, he can serve beside his father and mother, but it is difficult to see each other even if we are separated by red walls." Mother Gu wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and said: "As soon as you enter the palace gate It's as deep as the sea, now it's my turn, I really can't bear it! The Gu family doesn't need you to fight for anything, you must restrain your petty temper in the palace, and pay attention to everything when you get along with the concubine. My mother knows that you have always been smart, but you After all, do not deal with people less, this point should be strengthened more, don't be impulsive and arrogant, and argue with others, especially the concubine Hua, remember that a little intolerance can lead to chaos and big schemes. I just want my son to be safe, everything is false, You must protect yourself first, don't take everything on your body, understand?" Gu Mi nodded.

Gu's father looked sad, and after listening to Gu's mother in silence, Fang said solemnly: "Wu Hou, from now on, all your honor and disgrace will be tied to the Gu family. I won't say any more."

Gu Yu is also very reluctant. After all, he is the baby sister he watched growing up. The four brothers of the Gu family have already been controlled by Gu Mi's standard sister. Don't question the level of cuteness of the heroine.Gu Yu stepped forward and stroked Gu Mi's head as before and said, "Wu Hou, elder brother will always be your support, and when the sky falls, elder brother will support you!" Gu Mi nodded movedly, with teary eyes.When Gu's mother saw that the Gu family's father and son had finished speaking, she asked, "Who are you bringing into the palace?" "It's holding the piano, playing chess, and serving books." "Aunt Lin and Jin Hua, do you have any plans?"" Mother, I have been helping you with housework for the past few years, and you also have some property outside, so Jin Hua divorced her family in the mansion, and took Aunt Lin as her mother to take care of it for her daughter." "Well, You just need to understand clearly." "It's a pity that I can't watch my little nephew be born, remember to tell his aunt after he is born, so that I can prepare a gift for him."...

The fifteenth day of September in the 12th year of Qianyuan was the day when Gu Mi entered the palace.Gu Mi carefully looked at the family members present, as if she wanted to engrave them deeply in her mind.Gu Mi had never felt family affection in the so-called modern rich and famous families before, but she felt it in the Gu family. It was thick and warmed her all the time. It must be argued, in terms of acting skills, she is at the level of a movie queen, in terms of conspiracy, she is a master at playing, and in terms of conspiracy, she is at the level of a master. I have read Gongdou dramas and novels for nothing. The essence is naturally absorbed and transformed. .Knelt farewell to parents, took the hand of the servant, and entered the palace in a sedan chair.

Behind her was the best time she could never get back.

As soon as the auspicious time arrived, Gu Mi helped the palace maid get off the sedan chair and stood outside the Zhenshun gate. Since she was a partial concubine and not the main palace, she could only enter through the partial gate.Gu Mi thinks it doesn't matter, with this American time to care about these boring things, why not think about how to have the last laugh.What Gu Mi wanted was never a concubine, what she wanted was the most honorable woman in the harem—the empress dowager.

Gu Mi tilted her head and saw Zhen Huan, Mei Zhuang and Ling Rong who just got out of the sedan chair. Gu Mi didn't want to get close to them and didn't want to offend them. Fortunately, those who wished well were not allowed to speak according to the rules, so Gu Mi just nodded coldly.

The weather on this day was very good, better than the day of the draft, it was blue and cloudless.The sunshine in the autumn morning is as bright as gold with a warm meaning.

Looking at the harem of Zi'ao City from outside the Zhenshun Gate, the eaves are all curled up, and the golden yellow, water and green glazed tiles sparkle like dazzling golden waves in the sun, making people unable to open their eyes. Qi.The golden roof and red door, this antique style, makes people feel solemn.This is where she will live in the future.Gu Mi couldn't help raising her head, looking up at the sky, a flock of wild geese flying south screamed and flew across the blue sky like water.Well, the swan geese are flying high, which is a good omen. Gu Mi swept away the sadness of leaving her family, and rekindled the fierce fighting spirit when she first traveled here.

Outside the Zhenshun gate, there were already servants in dark red robes waiting, Gu Mi and others walked towards their respective palaces surrounded by Luan Yiwei and Yulin guards.After entering the Zhenshun Gate, passing the Yujie Street and turning from the narrow road, the tall red wall palace walls on both sides are like red dragons, winding with no bottom in sight.In the meantime, the large and small palaces are scattered and continuous.Passing through the flowery garden of the imperial garden, Gu Mi followed behind the palace maid who led the way, turning left and right as if in a maze, she couldn't help but feel a little worried, she is a bit of a road idiot!Although she has a photographic memory, the problem is that she doesn't like to know the way. In modern times, there are navigation, and there are grooms and servants when going out here, so she doesn't need to remember at all.Don't be afraid, she has three capable confidants, Gu Mi comforted herself in her heart.After walking for about 20 minutes, Gu Mi stood in front of a quiet palace.When you look up, you can see three red gold characters on the palace plaque: Changle Palace.

The Changle Palace, located in the bushes, reveals glazed tile roofs, just like a golden island, and the golden glazed tiles shine brightly in the sun.Changle Palace is one of the most recently renovated palaces in the harem.This Changle Palace has been uninhabited since Xuanling ascended the throne, and it was only refurbished to welcome newcomers because new young masters entered the palace.Changle Palace is located in Shanglin Garden, close to Taiye Lake, and Yimei Garden is a hundred meters away. Gu Mi is quite satisfied, it is a relatively secluded palace. In the courtyard, you can quietly play the piano and read a book.Entering the door, passing through an empty yard, turning left again, and entering another door, a small yard came into view. Gu Mi looked at the garden, and asked casually, "Is it the newly moved sweet-scented osmanthus?"

The court lady standing behind her replied respectfully: "The empress ordered that the new nobles in the palace should plant a variety of sweet-scented osmanthus flowers in the palace to show that the new nobles are in charge, and the inner palace is auspicious." Isn't it just telling them that she is the mistress of this huge harem, let them take it easy for her, have you figured out which camp to stand in?How childish.On the face, there is no expression, the sweet-scented osmanthus is blooming well, I thought it was only available in Zhen Huan's place.These sweet-scented osmanthus are newly tributed Yuzhou sweet-scented osmanthus, and clusters of golden osmanthus cover the whole osmanthus tree, fragrant and fragrant.Gu Mi couldn't help softly chanting: "Knead the broken gold and cut it into layers of jasper leaves. The demeanor and spirit are like Yanfu, too bright." Walking through the courtyard is the side hall of Changle Palace - Lingxueju.

"Liezi walks against the wind, calm and kind." ("Zhuangzi Qiwulun" note: "Light and subtle appearance.")

On the seven strings of Lingling, listen to the wind and cold in the pine. (Tang Liu Changqing's "Listening to the Piano" has a clear metaphor)

The pine pines are falling, and the snow is sooso. (Qian Shu Guanxiu "Send Jiang Daoist to Nanyue")

It's been another ten years since I've been a master, and my muscles and bones are still strong. (Song Yang Wanli)

The pine pines are falling, and the snow is sooso. (Tang Guanxiu's "Send Jiang Daoist to Nanyue") (all metaphors are high and clean) Not bad. "The name of this residence is quite to her liking.

Walking into Lingxue Residence and taking a look, the layout of the house is elegant without losing its status, low-key yet revealing luxury.In front of the main room is the ground platform. In front of the red sandalwood carved water hibiscus embroidered screen, there are Panlong throne, incense table, palace fan, incense pavilion, and a plaque of "Maoxiu Fuhui" written by the former emperor Longqing is hung above it.This is the place where the emperor officially picks up the driver when he is lucky.Walking to the backyard of Lingxueju, the first is the zigzag veranda, under which there are several pots of fragrant Milanese flowers, and under the stone steps is a path paved with granite, leading to the back garden of Lingxueju.Now is the golden autumn of September. In addition to the sweet-scented osmanthus in front of the courtyard and the Milanese in the porch, there are cannas in the back garden, lovely jasmine, small and lovely coral beans, and of course the protagonist of September-chrysanthemum.Although it is autumn, it is like spring.The other end of the path leads to a gazebo—Xiangzhu Pavilion. In the pavilion are tables and chairs made of marble. Alternate planting.

After seeing the future residence, Gu Mi went back to the main room and sat on the main seat, holding the piano and serving the book and chess standing on both sides, paying attention to everyone's expressions.A clever little court lady served tea, and the chief inner eunuch Wei Kang and the maid Lin Suxin led a group of palace eunuchs in, and kowtowed to say hello: "The chief inner eunuch of Changle Palace, the seventh-rank guard, Kang, sees Concubine Gu. The young master is happy and auspicious." "The servant girl in charge of Changle Palace is the seventh-rank obedient Lin Suxin, and I will see Concubine Gu, I wish the young master good luck."

Gu Mi observed sharply
