Harem Changwu Biography

Chapter 116 What is the meaning of Mingqi
The carriage ran all the way to the gate of the palace in the south before stopping. At that time, Nanny Chen, who escorted me into the palace last time, was waiting at the gate of the palace. When she saw me stepping out of the carriage, she stepped forward and saluted me: "This servant has seen Empress Zhaorong."

"Mommy get up." I nodded my head and let her stand up.

"Thank you, Mrs. Zhaorong."

The guards of the Meng family were unable to enter the palace, so after seeing Nanny Chen escorting me, the head of the guards came up to say hello to me, and after I entered the palace gate with Nanny Chen, Then he rode back again.

I followed Nanny Chen into the palace, and the moment the palace gate closed, I still couldn't help but look back.

When watching the scenery outside the palace disappear little by little with the closed palace gate, reluctance surged in my heart again.And then when I looked back at the palace wall that I was so familiar with, I was at a loss again.

"Miss, what's the matter with you?" Maybe it was because of the wrong look on my face, when I picked up my steps again, Ah Yun who was walking beside me asked me in a low voice.

"It's nothing." I shook my head upon hearing this, and then continued to walk forward.

The road to Chuxiu Palace last night was no stranger to me. Along the way, I saw the scenery that was once so familiar to me, and my mood was always difficult to calm down.

"Miss Zhaorong, Chuxiu Palace is not far ahead."

When it was less than half an hour away from Chuxiu Palace, Mother Chen, who was walking in front of me, stopped and pointed to the courtyard of Chuxiu Palace in front of me.

I also stopped when I heard the words, raised my head to look at Chuxiu Palace in front of me as if I had never seen Chuxiu Palace before, then nodded to Nanny Chen and said, "Madam Lao will lead the way."

"Mama has worked hard."

And Ayun also said something after I said this, and then took out a kit that had been prepared from his sleeve and handed it to Nanny Chen.

Because it was a common occurrence, Nanny Chen did not shirk when she received the kit from A Yun.I saw that after she finished the bag, she first weighed it lightly, then slipped it into her sleeve, and finally smiled at me.

"Ms. Zhaorong, please continue to come with your slaves." Mother Chen smiled and said to me after putting away the kit.

"I'm sorry, Madam." I nodded my head at Chen Mama again and said.

And after receiving the kit, Mother Chen kept smiling for the next half-a-quarter of an hour's journey, and told me some things that need to be paid attention to in the palace.

But because I already knew what Chen Nanny said, so I didn't pay much attention to it.On the contrary, Ayun, when Nanny Chen said it, he listened carefully and even memorized it carefully.

The remaining half a quarter of an hour passed quickly. When I was led by Nanny Chen and finally walked to the gate of Chuxiu Palace, I saw He Sizan, who had been promoted to replace Wang Sizan who was punished, was standing. Wait at the gate of Chuxiu Palace.

"This servant has seen Empress Zhaorong."

After I reached the gate of Chuxiu Palace, He Sizan came up and walked towards me, saluting to the God of Fortune.

"Mistress Zhaorong, this is He Sizan from Chuxiu Palace." After He Sizan saluted, Mother Chen probably thought that I didn't know He Sizan, so she came out and introduced me.

Naturally, I know He Sizan, but as Meng Qingqing, I don't know him, so under the introduction of Mother Chen, I pretended not to know He Sizan. First he nodded at Nanny Chen, then turned around and stepped forward to help He Sizan up.

"He Sizan is flat." I said while supporting He Sizan.

"Thank you, Mrs. Zhaorong." He Sizan thanked me after being lifted up by me.

Now that I've arrived at the gate of Chuxiu Palace, and He Sizan came out to greet me in person, so Nanny Chen, who was escorting me, greeted He Sizan and me, and retreated.

"Miss Zhaorong, please." After Nanny Chen withdrew, He Sizan also led me into Chuxiu Palace.

Chuxiu Palace is not a small place, and all the palaces and courtyards in it face south, with six on the left and six on the left and a total of twelve palaces.Each palace is a character structure, divided into three courtyards.

After He Sizan led me and Ayun into the Chuxiu Palace, he took us to the third palace on the east side, and after entering, he pointed to the main courtyard of the third East Institute and said to me: "Zhao Rong Niangniang, this is your room, and the things you brought from outside the palace will be brought in later by the servants."

"Thank you." I heard the words and nodded to He Sizan, and led Ayun into the main courtyard that He Sizan pointed to.

Chuxiu Palace was renovated by me the year Changruo and the others entered the palace, so I found that both the house and the things in the house would not be old.

The main courtyard house is a three-entry courtyard house. The entrance is first a spacious main room. At that time, because I wanted to move in, the house was cleaned early, and the things inside were neatly placed.

On the right side of the main room is the resting place. In addition to the usual tables and chairs, there is a long bench under the window, and a desk and bookshelf on the left hand side of the entrance. But now there are no books on the shelf.

On the left is my bedroom. The bed inside is placed facing the window. When I sit by the bed, I can see the window at a glance.

The left and right sides are separated from the main room by wooden carved arches, on which there are water green tassel curtains.

"Am I the only one living in this courtyard?" Under He Sizan's guidance, I looked around the small main courtyard and asked He Sizan.

In fact, I remember that Zhang Shuyue was arranged here by me before, but I don't know if Zhang Shuyue moved out of Chuxiu Palace because of being favored by Ming Qi in the past few years, or moved to another courtyard.

"Go back to Mrs. Zhaorong, apart from you, there is also Zhang Liangyuan in the East Third Institute." He Sizan replied to me after my words.

"Zhang Liangyuan?" I was surprised when I heard that Zhang Shuyue still lived here.

However, He Sizan probably interpreted my surprise as doubts about Zhang Shuyue's identity, so she nodded towards me after I asked the question, and then replied: "Go back to Mrs. Zhaorong, yes. Zhang Liangyuan's boudoir name Shuyue, the daughter of Jingzhao Mansion Yin, entered the palace in the 11th year of Minghe, and lived in the courtyard on the right side of here."

"I see." I nodded when I heard the words, not showing it on the face, but I was still surprised by Zhang Shuyue's situation in my heart.

"If Lady Zhaorong is interested in Zhang Liangyuan, this servant will send Zhang Liangyuan here now." He Sizan nodded at me and said back.

Although Zhang Shuyue entered the palace earlier than me now, but because I have a higher status than her, and I live in the main courtyard house, she lives in the side courtyard house, so in the Dongsan institute, she will be subject to I discipline.That's why He Sizan thought that I was interested in Zhang Shuyue and would send Zhang Shuyue to see me. In fact, this was also a way of demonstration.

"No need." But I didn't intend to protest against Zhang Shuyue, so I shook my head after He Sizan's words.

"No." He Sizan saw me like this, and didn't force it.

Not long after I arrived at the East Third House of Chuxiu Palace, the things I brought from Meng's house were brought in one by one.

Ayun has been by my side all the time, and she is very clear about my living habits, so after those things were delivered, she asked me to go to the side to sit and rest, while she directed the things to be brought over. The eunuchs put things one by one in the place she designated.

During this period, He Sizan didn't leave, and she didn't say anything to stop Ayun commanding the eunuchs. Instead, she ordered the people under her to make me a cup of hot tea.

The Chuxiu Palace, which was originally quiet, became lively because of my moving here. Ayun's voice could be heard everywhere, and those eunuchs also came here and there, following Ayun's command one by one.

"My servant, Qi He, has seen Empress Zhaorong, and Empress Jin'an."

And Qihe came here at the busiest time.

From the day I decided to enter the palace, I knew that I would always see Qi He and Fang Hao again.

But seeing this on the first day of entering the palace, he never thought of it.After all, Qihe is now serving Mingqi by his side, and she doesn't need to take care of the affairs in the harem anymore.

So when I saw that He Sizan just went out for a trip, and when she came back, there was a lot of money around her, I was obviously surprised.

Especially when I saw that besides Qihe, Dongchun and An Fulai were behind her.

"My maidservant Dongchun has met Empress Zhaorong, and Empress Jin'an."

"Slave An Fulai has met Empress Zhaorong, and empress Jin'an."

After Qihe, Dongchun and An Fulai also said to me.

"Pingshen." Seeing this, I nodded towards the three of them, but I was still surprised that Qihe and Dongchun Anfulai came together.

"Your maidservant Qihe, I met you in Xiyuan Palace half a month ago. I wonder if Madam Zhaorong still remembers your maidservant?" It was probably because the surprise on my face was too obvious, so after Qihe saluted me, he asked me again. road.

"Mistress Zhaorong, Aunt Qihe used to serve the Empress Dowager, but now she serves in front of the Emperor." He Sizan also explained to me after Qihe's words.

"I remember." I nodded my head.I still remember the day when I entered the palace to see Mingqi. At that time, besides Mingqi and Xiaoyunzi, there were two other people in Xiyuan Palace, Qi He and Fang Hao.

But after I nodded, I looked at Qihe, and I remembered that I was wondering if Mingqi already knew that I was Qiu Changwu.

I was thinking, Qihe is a careful person, she has been serving Mingqi after I left the palace.So if Mingqi knew that I was Qiu Changwu, Qi He would inevitably see something from Mingqi.

In other words, after she and Fang Hao served me faithfully, Ming Qi would directly tell Fang Hao and He that I am Qiu Changwu?

It's just that looking at Qihe's look at me now, it's quite normal, she doesn't reveal at all that she has recognized me as Qiu Changwu, or doubts that I am Qiu Changwu.

Am I guessing wrong?Mingqi didn't recognize me as Qiu Changwu?

I looked at Qi He, who was looking normal, and speculated in my heart.

Qihe certainly doesn't know what I'm thinking at the moment, she nodded to me and gave me a polite smile after seeing me looking at her, then she turned sideways to let Dongchun and An Fulai behind him.

"Mistress Zhaorong, you are new to the palace, and you are not familiar with the palace. The emperor is concerned about your empress, so he specially ordered the servants to bring Dongchun and An Fulai. If the empress Zhaorong doesn't mind, I will let you The two of them will follow behind Lady Zhaorong and wait on you." Qihe turned to let Dongchun and An Fulai out, then said to me with a smile.

But I was surprised again when I heard the words, and once again overturned the fact that Mingqi did not recognize me as Qiu Changwu, and once again doubted whether Mingqi knew my identity.

As we all know, the emperor will not send anyone to wait on the maids who stay in Chuxiu Palace, even if they have status, except for the maids brought by him and the original maids and eunuchs in Chuxiu Palace.

In this regard, even Chang Ruo did not receive such special care back then.

But now Mingqi not only asked Qihe to bring people in person, but also Dongchun and An Fulai who once served me in Changwu Hall.

Not only was I surprised by Mingqi's behavior after hearing this, but even He Sizan was like this.

It's just that He Sizan may be surprised that Mingqi values ​​me, but what surprises me is what is Mingqi's intention in doing so?
Is it true that what Qihe said was purely because I was worried that I was not familiar with the palace, so I sent Dongchun and Anfu who are familiar with everything in the palace to come with me?

Or is it intended to use the two of them to test or provoke me?
Thinking about it, I thought about it carefully.

"Miss Zhaorong doesn't like it?"

It's just that I may have been thinking for too long, so before I came to the result of thinking, the voice of Qihe sounded in front of me.

"If Lady Zhaorong doesn't like the two of them, you can tell the servant girl, and the servant will send another person over to Lady Zhaorong." Qi He said again.

"No need, the emperor has good intentions for Qingqing, Qingqing is too late to be grateful, how can she refuse," I recovered from Qihe's voice, and then shook my head after her words and replied, temporarily letting go of Mingqi in my heart guess.

"Besides, the two of them are rare talents at first glance. They don't dislike me. It's my honor to come to Chuxiu Palace to be my companion. How could they dislike me?" I said again.

"In this case, let the two of them follow Empress Zhaorong." Qihe said after my words.

"Naturally, thanks for your hard work, Miss Qihe." I nodded when I heard this.

"Whatever Madam Zhaorong said, it is the duty of a servant." Qi He said.
