Chapter 1 Entering the Palace
In the spring of Kangxi's 43rd year, the entire capital city was still in the cold winter that hadn't dissipated for a long time.The snowflakes are floating, soaking into everyone's heart.

Last year, Prince Yu Fuquan passed away, and Emperor Kangxi was very sad.This imperial city has always been shrouded in gloom and mist.

At this moment, Niu Hululan was sitting on the veranda looking at the snow scene in the yard.Although it was already early spring, there was still a bit of chill in the capital.

What grows in the yard is Lan Xin's favorite red plum.The red plum blossoms in midwinter, through the whole cold winter, until today's early spring, still blooming.This integrity that is not afraid of severe cold is the reason why Lan Xin appreciates it the most.And in winter, it is really an elegant thing to step on the snow to find plum blossoms and collect a little plum blossom snow water.

"Girl, it's cold outside, why don't you go back to the house?" The person who spoke was Huan Pei, the big maid beside Lan Xin.Huan Pei brought out a silver carved hand stove, ready to warm Lan Xin's hands.

Lan Xin took the hand stove and touched it, and felt that her whole body was a little warmer.

"I haven't gone to greet Er Niang today, Huan Pei, you go and get the wiped forehead I embroidered yesterday, and go to Er Niang together." Lan Xin stood up, straightened her cloak, and said.She sat on the porch for a long time, and there was a little snow on her cloak.

This year, the triennial draft will be held.Lan Xin is 13 years old this year, and she is a child of Manchuria Xianghuang Banner.According to common sense, it is also going to be drafted.

Lan Xin comes from the Niu Hulu family of the eight major surnames in Manchuria.It's just that, when it came to Lan Xin's father's line, it had already been defeated.Niu Hulu Lingzhu up to now is nothing more than a fourth-rank ceremony.

The ceremony of the fourth grade, in a place like the capital, is really not considered a high official.

When Lan Xin went to her mother-in-law Guerjia's room, Guerjia was teaching Lan Xin's younger brother Niu Hulu Yishentai to learn calligraphy.

"Lan Xin is here?" Guerjia heard the footsteps, just raised his head, and saw Lan Xin.

"Er Niang." Lan Xin said, and sat down next to Guerjia.Wrapping his arms around Guerjia's waist, and leaning against Guerjia's body, he said, "My daughter misses you."

Yi Shentai, who was sitting next to her, saw Lan Xin like this, and immediately grinned and said: "My sister obviously came to Er Niang's place yesterday, so she knows how to talk nonsense."

Yi Shentai was still young, it was time to say something.How can I understand Lan Xin's mood at this time.

Seeing Lan Xin hesitated, Guerjia said to Yishentai: "My good boy, go back and rest first. Er Niang and your sister, talk quietly."

Yi Shentai nodded, then smiled sweetly at Lan Xin, and said, "Sister, come and play with me when you are free."

Yi Shentai misses the little wooden horse that Lan Xin gave him last time.I have been looking forward to when Lan Xin will send him something again.

Lan Xin patted Yi Shentai's head, and said dotingly: "You little monkey, you have to listen to Er Niang from now on, don't keep getting into trouble."

Yi Shentai saluted, and walked out bouncing around.

At this time, only the mother and daughter were left in the house.The earth dragon is burning vigorously, which makes people feel warm physically and mentally.But Lan Xin took out her forehead just now because she had something on her mind, and she shed tears.

"Good boy, why are you crying?" Guarjia looked at Lan Xin distressedly, and raised his hand to wipe the tears on Lan Xin's face.

"Emiang, do I really want to enter the palace?" Lan Xin looked at Guerjia with tears in her eyes.She doesn't really want to enter the palace now.

It's a pity that fate has always been unpredictable.

"Good boy." As Guerjia said, he patted Lan Xin's head, and said, "You are a child of the Yellow Banner in Manchuria, and the daughter of the Niu Hulu family. Entering the palace is also inevitable."

The Guerjia family taught Lan Xin to be polite since she was a child, and this was also to save her from suffering after entering the palace.

Lan Xin lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Emiang, I understand. I just don't want to part with you and Ama."

Lan Xin still couldn't bear to part with this home she had stayed in for 13 years.Ling Zhu's mansion is not very luxurious in the capital.But the relationship between Ling Zhu and the Guerjia family is excellent, and Ling Zhu has never taken a concubine.So Lan Xin's childhood was very happy.

"Stupid child. The biggest wish of me and you, Ama, is to hope that you can live well." Mrs. Guarjia said, gently stroking Fulan's back.

The mother and daughter cuddled together like this for half an hour.

On the first day of April, after Lan Xin had finished tidying up, she was about to enter the palace in a carriage.

What Lan Xin wore today was a light pink flag dress.The flag dress is embroidered with a magpie climbing a plum blossom, and the cuffs are also gilded.In addition to being well-behaved, he is also generous.And on the head is wearing a hibiscus warm jade waffle, with a few pearl flowers, making it even more charming and charming.

Arriving outside the Forbidden City in a carriage, Lan Xin looked at the imperial city and the cloudless sky above the imperial city, feeling a sense of awe in her heart.

Now Emperor Kangxi is old, and most of the drafts are for the princes below.

After Lan Xin and the others entered the palace, they went through the primary election, and three days later they were surrounded by several court ladies and eunuchs and arrived at Chengqian Palace.

The person living in Chengqian Palace is Tong Jiashi, the current imperial concubine.Tong Jiashi is the younger sister of Empress Xiao Yiren and the only noble concubine in this palace, holding the real power to rule the six palaces.That status is naturally first class.

Lan Xin walked among the crowd, secretly looking at the Chengqian Palace.Chengqian Palace is the closest palace to the Hall of Mental Cultivation among the six east and west palaces, and it is also one of the most prosperous palaces.The maids and eunuchs in charge of sweeping and sanitation in the palace also performed their duties in an orderly manner.

The imperial concubine Tong Jiashi was already sitting outside the main hall of Chengqian Palace, waiting for the group of outstanding girls to come.Seated next to her were Defei Wuya, Huifei Nala, and Rongfei Majia.And the three concubines all entered the palace in their early years and accompanied Emperor Kangxi for many years, and they must be called for such things as drafting girls.

The leading father-in-law led Lan Xin and others to the outside of the main hall, knelt down and saluted, "I have seen the imperial concubine, the empress de concubine, the empress Hui, and the empress Rong."

Seeing this, all the beautiful girls in the back also knelt down to salute.

Concubine Tong Jia, who was at the top, played with the armor in her hand, and said after a long while: "Everyone get up."

After all the beautiful girls got up, they all stood still, waiting for the prince to read their names one by one.Some show girls kept their heads down because they were too scared at this time.And some are too curious, looking around here and there.And Lan Xin stood there quietly.

The draft process is undoubtedly very boring.It was not until an hour later that the eunuch pronounced the name "Niu Hu Lu Lan Xin" in a high-pitched voice.

Tong Jiashi was already bored watching it, and simply dozed off.On the other hand, Concubine De who was next to her looked at Lan Xin and nodded her head incessantly.

 This book is not 1v1, the introduction mentioned is the one from the green plum Fujin next door.
