After the rebellion was successful, I realized that this place was the Red Mansion

Chapter 103 Favored Concubine Xiangyun
Since they were visiting a sick person, it was not appropriate to have too many people, so Xiangyun and Tanchun stayed in Lady Jia's room. After a while, Xiangyun went back to see her grandmother and her second and third aunts.

The old lady of the Shi family is old and usually stays at home. Xiangyun went back to tell her grandmother and aunts a good news.

Tanchun, who was left behind, was questioned by Lady Wang and Lady Xing, and Aunt Zhao was also listening.

"Third girl!"

Seeing that they were talking about trivial matters, Aunt Zhao couldn't help but ask, "How is your brother? Have you asked the emperor for mercy and pardon?"

Tanchun didn't know what to say, so she just replied, "Huan'er is still in the military camp for the time being."

Aunt Zhao was immediately anxious. "Didn't you plead with the Emperor? You were staying in the palace last night, so how could you not even save your own brother?"

Everyone was watching. Tanchun was so angry at her mother that she was shaking. She was afraid that she would say something even more inappropriate in the future, so she said to her in front of Lady Jia with a red face:
"Auntie, stop saying that. Aren't you really afraid of being beheaded?!"

Aunt Zhao was frightened by her aura and did not dare to refute for a moment.

Mrs. Wang tried to dissuade her, but Tanchun continued, "Now that my elder sister has returned home to visit her parents, she's brought back a dozen palace maids and eunuchs, yet you don't even take them seriously and just keep talking nonsense. How can the Emperor just pardon a sinner just because you and I plead for mercy? I'm just a palace maid now, a servant in the same room. Even if I'm lucky enough to be made a concubine in the future, the Emperor won't easily allow concubines to interfere in government!"

"Why is she just a maidservant?" Aunt Zhao asked in surprise.

She started out as a maidservant and knew the difference between a maidservant and a concubine.

Tanchun said coldly, "Not only me, but all the young ladies and grandmothers in the mansion are also maids who have been banished to the palace! Even my elder sister, who is favored in the palace, doesn't dare to plead for mercy, let alone me."

These words were not only spoken to Aunt Zhao, but also to everyone in the mansion.

After entering the palace, Tanchun met Emperor Chu Yan. She was surprised that he favored his elder sister and Xiangyun, but she also realized one thing:

All the young and beautiful girls and ladies in the Ning and Rong mansions had to be looked at by him once, and only after he allowed them to be pardoned and leave the palace.

Leng Zixing's eloquence really piqued the emperor Chu Yan's interest in the women in the mansion. His understanding of the Jia family was probably better than that of Tanchun herself!

He actually knew that there were two maids, Zijuan and Xueyan, in Lin Daiyu's room, and also knew about Xiangling and others from Aunt Xue's family!
"You all heard what the third girl said."

Grandmother Jia understood the implication of her words and ordered Lady Wang and the others, "From now on, do not mention the matter of pleading with the Emperor again. Do not mention Baoyu, Huan'er, and others who are serving labor outside the city."

After a pause, Grandmother Jia said sadly, "Just assume they've been exiled thousands of miles away and are no longer in the capital!"

Mrs. Wang felt so sad that she almost burst into tears.

Li Wan stood by, feeling somewhat relieved. Because Jia Lan was still young and Yuanchun pleaded for him, the emperor allowed him to be brought into the palace and settled there.

……

After a while, Xiangyun, the old lady of the Shi family, the grandmother and the girls came to Lady Jia's room together.

Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and others who were waiting for Yuanchun to return hurriedly got up to greet her.

"Why is my sister-in-law here?"

Grandmother Jia asked with a smile.

Old Madam Shi smiled and said, "Miss Yun came back and told me that the Emperor saw that it was inconvenient for us to live together, so he asked us and the Wang family to move to Ningguo Mansion. Because Madam Qin didn't come back often after entering the palace, the Emperor also asked her to take care of the affairs of the mansion when she went to pay her respects on weekdays."

Jia Mu and others were surprised.

Shi Xiangyun is in charge of Ningguo Mansion? Just based on one thing, it can be seen that she must have been favored by the emperor when she entered the palace this time, so she was allowed to temporarily manage Ningguo Mansion.

When she enters the palace like Qin Keqing in the future, Ningguo Mansion will be handed over to someone else.

Old Madam Shi continued, "I thought that the mansion originally belonged to the Jia family. Although Yun girl is in charge by imperial decree, she is still young, and the two families are relatives, so it would be better for me to come and tell Madam Auntie."

Grandmother Jia hurriedly said, "Since it is an imperial decree, how dare the people of the East Palace disobey? Old sister-in-law, please stop talking about my family. Everything has been confiscated now. We are only staying temporarily in the official residence!"

Everyone knew this, and although they felt a little uncomfortable, they didn't dare disobey the order.

Shi Xiangyun threw herself into Grandmother Jia's arms.

She often stayed at the Jia family for several days and had a good relationship with Xiren, Ping'er and others. She treated this place as her home.

"Yun'er is about to take over the magpie's nest, old lady, please scold me!"

Xiangyun was very ashamed.

Grandmother Jia hugged her and said with a smile: "You are talking nonsense again, little girl Yun. You are grown up now and have entered the palace and are favored by the emperor. You are allowed to manage such a large house."

As he spoke, he stroked her face and smiled at everyone, "When my sister-in-law and I were her age, we still had to set rules in front of our mother-in-law when we first got married. Unlike her and Lin Yatou, they easily became the housekeeper's wife!"

This made everyone in the room laugh.

Madam Xing then asked, "Why is Miss Yun not living in the East Palace? Is she still living here?"

Xiangyun said, "I live in the west side hall of the garden."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was surprised again.

Tanchun smiled and said, "It is precisely because Sister Yun is favored that the Emperor has specially allowed her and her elder sister to live in the villa for the imperial visit!"

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on. Xiangyun blushed, lowered her head and said nothing. She couldn't help but think of the time last night when Chu Yan hugged her in his arms and kissed her.

The favor that Tanchun mentioned refers to the emperor kissing her on the mouth...

Tanchun didn’t know the inside story, but Xiangyun knew it very well!

The villa was originally for Jia Yuanchun to live in when she came home to visit her parents. After she returned to the palace, she ordered her sisters to move into the Grand View Garden. However, no one dared to live in the villa located in the center of the Grand View Garden.

At this moment, the emperor issued an edict that Xiangyun and Yuanchun could move in together, which showed that they were both favored in the palace.

Although Xiangyun has not yet been made a concubine, it is almost certain that she will be.

Her second aunt's face was full of smiles.

Grandmother Jia said to Lady Wang, "When the Shi family's wives and daughters move to the East Palace later, you should go with them and help clean up the house."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly stood up and agreed.

After sitting for a while, the Shi and Wang families said goodbye, went back to pack their luggage and moved to Ningguo Mansion.

Yu Shi had heard the news and came with a group of maids and servants to help clean up. She also ordered people to clear out the things in her yard and give it to the Shi family to live in.

Shi Xiangyun refused, but Youshi insisted on giving it up and even asked people to clean up Jia Rong's former courtyard and make it available for the girls from the Wang family to move in.

Finally, after some discussion, the young girls from the Wang and Shi families moved into the courtyards of Youshi and Jia Rong, and the other ladies moved into the small courtyard. Youshi also asked for only three small rooms and moved in with her maids.

They worked until the second watch, and the two families finally moved their things and officially moved into Ningguo Mansion.

Yu-shi then led the maids and servants from the former Ningguo Mansion to kowtow to Shi Xiangyun, who was sitting in the main hall. The maids and servants shouted randomly:
"I've met my empress!"

Xiangyun blushed again with shame.

The old lady of the Shi family smiled and taught her to quickly call people to get up. Seeing this, Xiangyun's second aunt was even more afraid to treat her niece as the maid she used to be. Now she was half a favorite concubine.

When the young girls from the Wang and Shi families saw this, they couldn't help but feel envious.

Once chosen by the king's side, you will fly to the tree branch and become a phoenix.

How can one not be envious?
