Erph tidied up slightly, then slowly got up and walked out of the side hall.

In the main hall, only the wide couch at the top is lit up with red candles, illuminating the world, while the rest of the world is blocked by the screen and the cotton curtain at the entrance of the hall, which makes Erfu feel as if he has entered a relatively primitive movie theater, of course, more intense than this, as if he is stepping into the abyss of ghosts.

There were more than a dozen palace maids standing left and right in the hall, but Erfu couldn't hear the slightest sound, this feeling was very unreal, but she had to face it, and she didn't know how the bright palaces in those TV series were made, it was too pitiful.

Without waiting for Erfu to return, he had already walked to the vicinity of Concubine De, who was sitting on the throne of the head, and Erfu's body unconsciously knelt on the cold marble floor, and hurriedly made a sideburn salute.

"The servant respectfully invites Concubine De Niang Jin'an!" Erph's voice trembled slightly, filling the entire palace.

As if she had just noticed someone walking in, Concubine De picked her eyes, cleared her throat and said, "Get up, sit down!"

Erfu only felt that this kind of treatment seemed to be a little different from her conjecture, it was difficult for Concubine Niangniang to really just come to ask her to talk about family affairs, this idea just came to an end, and it was completely crushed by Erfu, which was simply impossible. The lady in this palace, which is not a wicked person who crawled out of the sea of blood, even if Concubine De Niangniang eats fasting and recites Buddha all day long, but Erfu doesn't believe that she is really as good as the history books say, you must know this world. It is absolutely impossible for there to be innocent and kind people who save zài, and even if they do, they will have long been pulled down from the throne by others and sent to the cold Yuhua Pavilion.

With such a cognition. As the master of the first palace, Concubine De Niangniang is absolutely impossible to pull her to talk about family life, so it seems that what is about to happen may be even more terrifying, maybe this is the legendary first salute and then soldier!

Erfu took a deep breath, suppressed the strong fear and uneasiness in her heart, and walked to the embroidery pier next to her as dignified and polite as she could. Half-bowed and sat down, stiffening his back, just waiting for the head to fall.

Concubine De was still silent. Looking at the blue-blue booklet in his hand, he seemed to figure out something.

Erfu looked at the still dignified and beautiful face of Concubine De in the candlelight, and praised the women in the palace who knew how to maintain them. But not before Erf could continue. I felt that the air in the hall was a little heavier, which made Erfu, a small fawn-like animal, more nervous, and his body more stiff, and even a pair of feet unconsciously turned to the door.

Erph knows that this is the subconscious of people who protect themselves, and when they encounter danger, even if they try to maintain their composure, it is the small details of the body. can still reveal the truest thoughts in a person's heart, which is also what Erf discovered from countless criminal investigation films.

It's just that people who don't know this era don't understand micro-expressions. But Erfu didn't dare to reveal a trace of impatience, so she had to work hard to move back a pair of small feet, tidy up her mood, squeezed out a wry smile that was not much stronger than crying, and looked at Concubine De Niangniang, who was still as calm as water.

Time passed minute by minute, Erfu only felt that her waist and back were about to break, but then looked at the first Concubine De Niangniang, but there was no discomfort at all, it can be seen that the women in this palace are so powerful, not only ruthless to the enemy, but also very ruthless to themselves, at least sitting upright like this, it is also very painful, you must know that since Erf said goodbye to elementary school, there has never been such a stiff body for most of the day.

Just when Erfu felt that she had abandoned the fear of death and was about to move the embroidery pier under her body to have a face-to-face conversation with Concubine De, the gentle voice of Concubine De came from above, which made Erfu's newly mustered courage instantly turn into air and dissipate without a trace.

"This palace has been in the palace for many years, and it is rare for the emperor to trust, and he handed over this palace affairs to this palace, and this palace naturally does not dare to slack off, so that there is no time to talk to his daughter-in-law, but it makes you feel bored!" Concubine De closed the booklet in her hand casually, looked at Erfu with some playfulness, and said softly.

Erfu hurriedly showed a look of reverence, and nodded again and again, "Niangniang has the emperor's trust, this is something that many people can't ask for!"

"Huh...... This palace is old, and I always want to spend more time with you children, but this royal rule is heavy, and this palace can't go out of the palace to see you.

Although you can also hand the sign in on weekdays, but you can't stay for a long time, and when you leave, this palace has become the palace itself, so it will be even more boring, so in order to avoid such a thing, this palace doesn't want you to come in, I think you can all understand!" Concubine De smiled and stroked the bracelet on her wrist and said softly.

Erfu nodded like a kowtow worm, and smiled and waited for Concubine De to continue, because she seemed to have figured out this lady's wishful thinking, but as a junior, she had no right to refuse at all, thinking about a funny sentence circulating on the Internet, Erfu calmed down, anyway, Concubine De Niangniang couldn't take her side on the jade to do anything.

Life is like a strong / jian, since you can't refuse, then you can only enjoy it!

Sure enough, Concubine De smiled more gently, and even her tone was differently soft, and beckoned to Erfu who was smirking, and when she saw Erfu approaching, she pulled Erfu to sit beside her, and said softly: "This palace knows that you are a sensible person, and this palace looks at you and meets your eyes, so it is better to accompany my old woman in the palace these days!"

Erff only thinks this is really funny, who is the left palace and the right palace just now, and now I want to stay in the palace, this is an old woman, I have become me, I really have to say that you are all good actors, go and get an Oscar statuette!

"It's just that this is the inner palace in the end, and the slave stays, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate!" Erph seemed to be a little moved and pinched the corner of his clothes, and said softly.

A fierce color slipped over the corner of Concubine De's eyes. But soon he showed a softer smile and said softly: "Since you are married to the fourth child, you are my child." I don't have to hide it from you, now that I'm old, I'm not as good as those flower-like newcomers, and the emperor doesn't come once for more than half a year, and even if he comes, it's just a dinner.

But I don't really care, after all, in this palace, I already have two sons under my knees. It's a lot of birth, and after having a child, it's really a lot less about this competition for favor. So I don't feel uncomfortable, but I still want someone to talk to.

I've said so as a mother-in-law, presumably my daughter-in-law is not an ignorant person!"

As she spoke, Concubine De patted Erph's shoulder as if she meant something. Get up and walk to the inner sanctum.

Guargarve looked at the back of Concubine De in her heart. He gave his middle finger fiercely, smiled and saluted, and said softly: "It's rare for the mother to let the slave live in the palace, and the slave is naturally very willing, but the slave came in in a hurry, and he didn't bring a dress, I'm afraid that I will trouble the palace maid next to the mother to go back to the house!"

"This palace knows that you are sensible, but this is not a big deal. The palace will never be short of you. You've been tossing for a day, and I'm afraid your body is tired. The palace has already handed over the people to clean up the east side hall, you just have to stay, and you can choose two palace maids who fit your eyes to serve, and this palace will not participate in the mother!" Concubine De turned around slowly, showing a smile that made Erfu tremble a little, pointed to the palace maids who stood down, and said casually.

Erfu silently scolded the mother in her heart, casually pointed to the two palace maids who were relatively close, and then bowed to Concubine De Niangniang and walked outside the hall.

The east side hall is equivalent to the wing room in the ordinary courtyard, which is not a star and a half worse than the main hall, so for Erfu, who is used to being the master living in the main house, it is equivalent to returning to the collective life.

It is said to be a palace, but it does not have the grandeur and magnificence of a palace at all, and even the furnishings seem very ordinary and simple.

Stepping on pieces of green bricks under his feet, you can see traces of fragmentation on the left and right, the wardrobe in the bedroom, and there are a few places where the paint is peeled, no wonder this place is empty, presumably those favored little masters will never like to live in this place.

Although it was still winter, Erf still told the palace maid to open the window, because Erfu smelled a strong smell of camphor from the moment she entered the door, and she must have stored a lot of things in this place.

The side hall is three rooms that are fully open, each with a hollow solid wood screen on the floor, but looking at the wood, it is not very precious, and Forgive Erf is not a novice who doesn't understand these things now.

On the hollowed-out squirrel and sika deer pattern shelf bed, neatly folded brand new bedding, a pair of brocade pillows embroidered with dark patterns were placed on the bedside, in addition to the wardrobe on the wall, there was also a round table in it, which was a place for Erfu to have a rest, and there was a mahogany dressing table carved with a pattern inlaid with copper mirrors by the window, and there were a few bottles and jars of small things on it, looking like rouge gouache and other things prepared for Erfu, but Erfu was not curious about the fat powder in this palace.

Because she hasn't used this thing at all, it's not that Erfu is picky, but in this era, there is a lot of lead powder mixed in the fat powder, that thing is poisonous, she doesn't want to decay before she gets old, and it's really not Erfu's narcissism, just her little tender face, that is still far away from the days when these things are used, so on weekdays, Erfu is just washing her face, and then shallowly patting a layer of pearl water, and the other is to get an egg white from time to time and make a simple mask, which makes Erfu the best skin in the fourth master's mansion。

Erfu casually looked at the room, sat on the embroidery pier next to the round table with a wry smile, and carried the pastel beam pot on the table, feeling that the weight of the hand was much lighter, and she knew that these palace maids had not prepared tea for her, so she didn't pick up the tea cup next to her stupidly.

However, Erfu was not ready to swallow her anger, and Erfu looked at the two palace maids she had just pointed out, and spoke softly.

The two palace maids are called Purple Butterfly and Pink Butterfly, their appearance is a little ordinary, and even a little ugly, at least they are ugly women in the palace, they are all second-class palace maids who serve in the palace, and they are responsible for more things on weekdays, but they are not valued by Concubine De, otherwise they will not be arranged by Concubine De to stand next to them as decorations.

Erff looked at the two of them. Nodding slightly, he pointed to the handle pot in his hand, and said with a smile: "These days." I'm afraid I'm going to live here, you should still work hard with me, otherwise I'm afraid I'll have to sue my mother.

The things that should be prepared in this room must be purchased, but I also know that you two can't be blamed for these things, but if there are still things like this in the future. Then don't blame me!

Alright, that's all I have to say, you do your best work. I won't treat you badly, go and prepare!"

After speaking, Erfu turned around incomprehensibly, and did not look at the two palace maids who looked at each other.

Pink Butterfly and Purple Butterfly were originally in this Yonghe Palace. The bottom of the food chain. was called by Erfu to serve, although I was not ecstatic in my heart, but I still felt very relaxed, after all, the rules in this palace are big, and they are all palace maids who were born as slaves, thinking that Erfu didn't dare to instruct them to do anything, just to take advantage of this time to be lazy, but I didn't expect to wait for them to be lazy. This one didn't beat them up as an outsider.

Such a strange feeling made them all want to laugh. But they also know that they can't stand up to Erfu in person, in the end they are still slaves, and Erfu is a real royal daughter-in-law, although she is only a side blessing, her identity is definitely much more noble than them.

But this little person also has the calculation of a little person, and they also have a way of grinding people, the two of them glanced at each other, nodded quietly, and bowed and withdrew from the room.

The sound of the door closing, Erph turned her head around, looking scared, and gently patted her chest with her little hand, watching the movement outside.

There was no charcoal stove burning in the room, it was a little cold, and Erf had not yet retrieved the cloak she had given to the palace maid, and after sitting for a while, she felt cold on her body, and had to stand up and circle around the room.

Originally, Erfu still wanted to drink a bowl of hot tea to warm up, but she didn't see the two little palace maids come back for a long time, which made Erfu feel that she seemed to have offended two palace maids who were not very willing to serve people mediocrely, but Erfu was not afraid, as the saying goes, the official level crushes people to death, not to mention that she is an upright master, don't look at her and dare not provoke Concubine De, but she is not just anyone who can bully her!

Thinking about it, Erfu walked out of the door, walked to the little palace maid guarding the door of the main hall with a smile, and said softly: "I want to see Aunt Yuxiu, I don't know where my aunt is on an errand at this time!"

Erfu smiled very friendly, and casually handed out a purse containing two coins of silver, which is uncommon for the little palace maid guarding the door, the little palace maid quickly received the sleeve, and blessed the body of Erfu, "If you go back to Fujin, Aunt Yuxiu is waiting in front of Niangniang most of the time, and I am afraid that she is also there at this time, please wait for Fujin!"

"I don't know what I'm up to!" Erph asked with a smile.

The little palace maid pinched the purse in her hand with some embarrassment, and saw that no one noticed her, so she attached her ear to Erfu's ear and whispered: "Niangniang is idle at this time!"

Erph smiled and nodded, and walked towards the temple.

The little palace maid hurriedly stepped forward to stop in a panic, "Fang Fujin, you can't go in without Niangniang's order!"

"It's okay, I'm just here to talk to Niangniang!" Erfu smiled very reservedly, but her movements were not reserved, and she quickly pushed away the little palace maid who was blocking her eyes, and greeted Concubine De Niangniang who was sitting in the hall loudly, "Niangniang, the slave feels that there is nothing to do, so I want to come and talk to you!"

When the words fell, Erfu had already walked into the palace door quickly, and smiled very enthusiastically at Yuxiu who was waiting beside Concubine De, and said softly to Concubine De Niangniang: "Niangniang, the slave looks at the weather outside, but he has been nesting in the room, wouldn't it be a disappointing God's kindness, and this life lies in sports, Niangniang should also move around more!"

It's really not that Concubine De Niangniang and Yuxiu reacted slowly, but I have never seen such a person who plays cards out of common sense, you must know that when mortals enter the palace, it is as if they have entered a huge cage, and their every move is extremely cautious, but suddenly there is a freak and a strange thing, which makes people extraordinarily unable to resist.

At least before Erfu, no one dared to walk into her palace door with a smile without anyone informing her, even the concubines in the palace who were higher than her.

But Concubine De Niangniang can't blame Erfu, because when Concubine De Niangniang asked Erifu to stay overnight, it was said that she wanted to be intimate with the younger generation, and it was difficult for the daughter-in-law to want to meet her own old woman, and if she wanted to talk to the old woman, contact and contact her feelings, it would have to go through these subordinates.

Fortunately, the people in the hall, those are all people who have gone through countless ups and downs, and their minds have long been incomparable to ordinary people, and Concubine De Niangniang is one of the leading figures, and she has quickly restrained the incomprehension and anger on her face, smiled and beckoned to Erfu, patted the empty position next to her, and sat together as if she was like a mother and daughter.

Erfu is also not ashamed of her face, and she slapped her next to Concubine De Niangniang with a fart/share, and her little hand quickly grabbed Concubine De's arm, and said in an affectionate tone: "Niangniang, you are really bored in the palace on weekdays, although the slave has no ability to do it, but drag Niangniang out for a walk, that's still okay, and the slave is really curious about the beautiful scenery of the palace back garden, let's go for a walk!"

Concubine De showed a wry smile, as if she couldn't resist Erfu's enthusiasm, nodded Erfu's head, and said softly: "You, you are really a jumpy character, since you like to go, then the palace will accompany you for a walk, but at this time, it is a little cold, and they should be asked to put on a cloak for you!"

"......" Erfu lowered her head a little shyly and nervously, and said softly, "The minions never thought that they could live in this palace, which is different from when the minions came to the palace for the draft, this feeling is too strange, so that the minions feel that the whole person seems to be extraordinarily energetic, so they don't feel cold, and the head in this palace is so big, I'm afraid it will be hotter to walk, so I didn't let them prepare."

Niangniang, is the slave a little ignorant of the rules, which makes Niangniang feel embarrassed!"

Concubine De Niangniang is worthy of being an old treacherous and cunning palace fighting expert, and she was stunned to think of Erfu's nonsense, thinking that Erfu wanted to deliberately behave like this, so that she couldn't accept it and sent her home, and secretly said in her heart, "Think beautiful", so she nodded with a smile.

"It's too dull in this palace, and there should be a few more children like you, so that our old bones can be lively!" Concubine De smiled and beckoned Yuxiu to prepare her cloak and stood up.

Erfu also stood up quickly, took the tea bowl on the kang table from the ready, and drank the tea happily.

This tea bowl is naturally not Concubine De's, but just now the palace maid saw Erfu coming, specially served hot tea, a few sips of tea in the stomach, Erfu felt that his throat was much more comfortable, and secretly said that his method was good, and he would lack anything in the future, so he just went to the palace to mix, anyway, it seems that Concubine De's attitude towards her daughter-in-law is still quite ambiguous, especially her favorite concubine of the fourth master.

Two people who think about things completely differently actually reached a consensus in such a strange way, and it was completed without communication, which is definitely a coincidence that only exists in legends.

Erfu smiled and took Concubine De Niangniang out of the door, and at a glance he aimed at the two palace maids who had just gone to prepare tea, and he felt like a dog fighting people, facing the purple butterfly and the pink butterfly, and said loudly: "I'm going to go shopping with Niangniang, you first put the things in the room in order, and you should also prepare a pot of hot tea and snacks, maybe after a while, I will go back to talk to Niangniang!"

After speaking, Erfu frowned mischievously, looked at Concubine De Niangniang beside her, and said softly: "Niangniang, you don't dislike the slave for being stupid, don't you want to talk to the slave!"

Concubine De seemed to understand the reason for Erfu's actions, and looked at the purple butterfly and pink butterfly who were still stunned with some unhappiness, turned her eyes and nodded to Erfu with a smile, and the two of them both walked out of Yonghe Palace and walked towards the palace garden behind Kunning Palace.

In winter, the palace garden (imperial garden) is still full of flowers, the snow on the path, naturally has long been cleaned up, strange stones, rockeries, left and right corridors, but it is more like a fairy feeling, looking at the slightly sprinkled snowflakes on the trees, it is as beautiful as cedars.
