After living in the Qinghuan Palace for a few days, although there are maids waiting for her every day, Bei Ran's heart still doesn't feel stable, she always remembers the purpose of her coming here, so she doesn't really enjoy it. Although Mu Pingliang gave her the highest position at the moment, after that, he never came to see her.

The girl who was arranged in the palace to serve Bei Ran was not very old, she was smart, and she was also lively and clever, seeing that Bei Ran was friendly to people, and there was no concubine at all, and she soon became a piece with her, and many days passed, Mu Pingliang did not take a step towards their Qinghuan Palace, and couldn't help muttering: "Your Highness is really, obviously gave us the title of Niang Niang Guifei, but I didn't come to see it once, but went to those noble talents to stay for night after night, and I don't know what to think." ”

Bei Ran said: "Don't talk nonsense, His Highness has his own considerations, and we can't discuss it." ”

The girl pouted and stopped talking.

It's not just this girl who thinks like this, Mu Pingliang hasn't appeared for a long time, and Bei Ran is also anxious, in this way, her situation has become very passive, if the harem concubines are not summoned, they can't go to the palace to face the saint privately, so even if they are anxious, they can only wait at the moment, if Mu Pingliang doesn't come, then the opportunity to see him publicly, the most recent one is the enthronement ceremony.

Somehow, she suddenly wanted to practice calligraphy today, and called a girl in the room to bring her a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

The girl asked her, "Do you want to write poetry?" ”

She smiled and said softly, "Maybe, but I don't know where to start." ”

The girl was relieved: "Niangniang don't have to be anxious, this matter is not in a hurry, I see that those talented scholars are also inspired to write that magnificent poem with a stroke of the pen, Niangniang Xing is not thinking for the time being, you might as well rest for a while, and later a flash of inspiration, will be able to sprinkle the pen into a chapter." ”

Bei Ran chuckled: "You are very good at talking." ”

When the girl heard Bei Ran praising her, her little face turned red and smiled embarrassedly.

Bei Ran stared at the snow-white paper and thought for a long time, and finally picked up his sleeves and turned them into two words on the paper after several turns.

The girl leaned over, looked at the words, and pronounced them: "Light, empty." Then he asked puzzledly: "Niangniang, what do these two words mean?" ”

Bei Ran put down the pen holder, looked at the word, and shook his head.

She got up and walked to the window, and a palace maid came up to open the curtain for her, and it was almost evening, the sun was already setting in the west, and the residual temperature of the scorching days had already been blown away by the south wind, and the sunset was like a dazzling firelight that penetrated half of the sky. A gust of wind blew, and the tip of her nose was a little sour, she rubbed it lightly with her hand, and asked the palace maid beside her, "How long is it until the enthronement ceremony?" ”

The palace maid replied: "Back to Niangniang, there are ten days left." ”

Bei Ran nodded, and said to himself: "There are still ten days, soon." ”

May 24th.

On the palace square, an unprecedented grand ceremony was being carried out in an orderly manner, and hundreds of civil and military officials sat in the room, looking up at the venerable and supreme on the high platform of the square.

The master of ceremonies held the bow and read the speech solemnly, and waited until a stick of incense burned out, and then read the thick booklet, and then several attendants hugged the emperor to the altar to bow down to heaven and earth, and thank the ancestors...... The whole process is lengthy and complex.

Corresponding to the solemnity and dignity of the ceremony was the crowded and busy kitchen of the palace.

A middle-aged woman with a snarky look crossed her waist with one hand and raised a handkerchief with the other hand and shouted loudly to the messengers who came in and out: "You all be careful, don't make any mistakes, otherwise you will have your heads!" ”

Everyone bowed: "Yes, auntie." ”

"I've told you all about the order of serving, right?"

Then they replied, "I remember clearly." ”

Seeing that more than 100 people in the house were doing things in a proper manner, the woman nodded and said with relief: "That's good, let's get busy, move quickly." ”

After speaking, everyone began to get busy again.

A young woman wearing a white shirt and a red silk around her waist shuttled through it, and was busy delivering dishes with many other palace maids wearing the same costumes.

The aunt in charge looked at the people coming and going, but she didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and after standing aside and watching for a long time, she suddenly frowned and asked, "What about Xiaoyue?" Did any of you see where Satsuki went? ”

The palace maids who heard the question shook their heads and said they didn't know.

The fierce woman stomped her foot in anger and said viciously: "This dead girl, where did she run at the critical time, see if I will find her leg or not!" ”

The woman in the white shirt stepped forward, owed a debt and said, "Hello aunt, Sister Xiaoyue just felt unwell and went back to rest first, but when she left, she specially instructed me to help her do errands, and my aunt will explain me what she has." ”

The aunt in charge who was angry was still scolding, and when she saw someone coming forward, she looked at her with a sharp and terrifying look like an eagle: "Which palace are you from?" What is your name? ”

The woman smiled and said: "Back to my aunt's words, my name is Xiaobei, I am a new arrival last month, and I have not been assigned to the palace for the time being, and now I only follow the sisters in the palace to help in the palaces." ”

The woman looked at the girl who was talking in front of her, and saw that her face was very well-behaved, and she didn't look like a bad girl, but the suspicion she had cultivated after many years of working in the palace made her still a little suspicious, and asked, "Is it?" Why didn't Satsuki come and tell me in person if she was uncomfortable? ”

The bright-eyed little girl smiled skillfully: "Yes, when the newcomer entered the palace last month, it was still the clothes that aunt took us to the treasury to get them, and taught us many rules in the palace along the way, which I still remember." But my aunt must have seen too many people, and Xiaobei's qualifications were mediocre and had no strengths, so I couldn't get into my aunt's eyes and ask my aunt to remember me. ”

"And Sister Xiaoyue originally wanted to come and tell you in person, but she was so sick that she was dizzy after just a few steps, and the slave was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold on, so she sent her back first."

What she said is indeed true, there is such a thing as recruiting newcomers last month, and the aunt in charge thought about it before she put her mind at ease, after all, this is the person who wants to send something to the emperor, it is better to be cautious.

"Okay then, you'll deliver the food. Remember to be careful in everything, or don't blame me for not mentioning you if you get into trouble. ”

A hint of cunning slipped through Beiran's eyes, then he turned to smile and nodded, "I wrote it down, thank you aunt." ”

Watching Xiaobei step down the steps to the main hall, the woman finally breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, someone didn't need to rearrange it, otherwise she was really worried about the lack of manpower, but then again, this girl is really a little familiar.

The aunt in charge at that time didn't remember that she had indeed seen this woman, but she was not choosing to join the palace maid.
