"Yes, I will send someone to deliver the message."
After listening to Nian Shilan's words, Songzhi not only went to send messages to the new girls, but also prepared to send messages to the concubines in various palaces.
Nian Shilan thought that they had just entered the palace and dared to act like this. If he didn't do something, they might think that he had lost his temper.
Early the next morning, the rookie girls came earlier and waited outside Yikun Palace early.
Although the weather at the end of August cannot be called a sweltering heat, it is definitely not cool either.
When the other concubines came, they didn't know whether they should go in or not.
"Everyone, ladies and gentlemen, you can go inside the palace and wait as usual."
The one who came out was Toshiba. He didn't even look at the new girl. He led several other girls who came earlier to go in.
After all the concubines from each palace had arrived, Nian Shilan came out of the palace.
"Greetings to the imperial concubine."
"Everyone, get up."
Nian Shilan said with a smile: "All the sisters came so early today, but I am slacking off."
"Your Majesty is busy day and night, so it's natural that it's a bit harder. It's not like we are so free."
Concubine Hui was the first to answer: "I think your Majesty has been overworked recently. I have lost a lot of weight when I looked at you."
Nian Shilan smiled and touched her face after listening to Concubine Hui's words: "I have lost weight somewhere, but it's just that my appetite is not good in the hot summer."
"My dear, the new girl outside has already complained."
At this time Songzhi came in and said carefully.
"Complain?"
Nian Shilan's smile was so evil and disdainful that anyone who saw it would sweat for the rookie girl.
"Then let them come in, and let us all open our eyes to see which showgirl is so delicate."
"yes."
Songzhi smiled and went outside to pass on the news.
The rookie girls came in one after another, and then they all saluted Nian Shilan and said hello.
Although Nian Shilan is not a queen and does not need to bow down, there are still a lot of etiquette.
When their greetings were over, Nian Shilan was drinking tea and didn't let anyone get up.
Just when Nian Shilan was about to ask them to stand up, a beautiful girl couldn't kneel down and fell down.
"I didn't do it on purpose."
It was Gu Guiren who fell.
"Which palace are you from?"
Nian Shilan didn't answer her words. After all, he didn't know who these people were yet.
"As for the imperial concubine, this concubine is a noble from Chuxiu Palace, Gu Jia."
Gu Guiren thought Nian Shilan had noticed him and was extremely proud.
Nian Shilan looked at her and felt funny in her heart.
I really put all the brainless people into one palace.
This Chu Xiugong first gave birth to Wen Yao, who only had beauty but no IQ, and he died a bad death in the end.
Unexpectedly, here comes another Gu Guiren who acts arrogantly and has no rules.
"I heard that you are not used to living in the palace?"
Nian Shilan asked calmly.
"Thank you for your concern, my concubine. I have just entered the palace, so it is inevitable that I am not used to it. This Chuxiu Palace is good everywhere, but it is too small. I only live here alone, so I will inevitably feel lonely."
Does Gu Guiren really think that Cheng Shilan cares about her?
Concubine Jing didn't know how to describe the expression on her face after hearing her words.
Nian Shilan listened to Gu Guiren's words very calmly, and then asked without answering her words: "Who are Wang Yingsheng and Ma Yingsheng?"
"The concubine promised Mrs. Wang to pay her respects to the imperial concubine."
"The concubine promised Ma that she would pay her respects to the imperial concubine."
When the two heard their names being called, they both greeted Nian Shilan.
Nian Shilan glanced at a few people, and then said, "Everyone else, get up."
"Thank you, Imperial Concubine."
When everyone was about to get up, Songzhi stopped Gu Guiren.
"Gu Guren, you are disrespectful to the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine did not ask you to get up."
Gu Guiren listened to Songzhi's words and was about to refute her when he saw Nian Shilan giving him a cold look.
Although Gu Guiren didn't say anything and quickly knelt down, he complained in his heart that Songzhi was too talkative.
"I heard that Chonghua Palace is very lively every day. Why do you think this is the garden of your palace?"
Nian Shilan's tone was no longer as good as at the beginning, and she scolded sternly: "Didn't your tutor teach you the rules?"
Wang Yingying and Ma Yingying quickly admitted their mistake: "Please forgive me, I know I was wrong and I won't dare to do it again."
"Now that you have entered the palace, you are no longer the young ladies in your palace. Every word and deed represents more than just yourselves."
Nian Shilan looked at the two of them, and then said: "Since you already know your mistakes, I will give you a chance to change your ways. Return to Chonghua Palace to think about your mistakes behind closed doors. You will not leave the palace within half a month."
With this punishment, I am afraid that I will lose the opportunity.
After half a month, I am afraid that the emperor has already fallen in love with several other beautiful girls, so if they want to see the emperor again, they may not be able to do so.
"Empress...."
"Why don't you thank me quickly?"
Songzhi opened her mouth at the right time to stop them from saying what they were saying.
Nian Shilan then looked at Gu Guiren again.
Only then did Gu Guiren realize that he was afraid, and realized that Nian Shilan was not just greeting him politely.
"As for Gu Guiren, since you think Chuxiu Palace is small, then move to Suiyuxuan."
Nian Shilan glanced at her and said, "Don't you think you're bored by yourself? Let's move in together when Ma Yaosheng and Wang Yaosheng are done with their confinement."
"My dear, this is not what I mean."
Gu Guiren quickly begged for mercy.
"Are you dissatisfied with my arrangement?"
Nian Shilan glanced sideways at Gu Guiren, who immediately swallowed his words.
Given her courage, she wouldn't have dared to say that she was dissatisfied with Nian Shilan's arrangement.
Nian Shilan saw her shut her mouth, and then looked at the other show girls with satisfaction.
"I have to say some things in advance. I have a bad temper and I don't want to see any turbulent things happening. Jealousy is a taboo in the palace. You'd better be aware of it."
After Nian Shilan finished speaking, he waved his hand: "That's it for today. You all can go down."
"Concubine, please retire."
The rookie girl had long been eager to leave, so as soon as Nian Shilan's words came out, everyone walked out without any delay.
Nian Shilan took another look at everyone in the palace and said, "You all should go back too. In a few days, the emperor wants to go to the Old Summer Palace to stay for a few days. You can see what you bring with you. The emperor will allow the concubines to go at that time. Concubine, I will tell you in advance."
"Yes, I will retire."
Everyone stood up and was about to go out, but Nian Shilan stopped An Guiren.
"People of Angui, people of Xingui, you stay."
After everyone left, Nian Shilan asked the two of them to sit down.
"Now that there is a new beautiful girl in the palace, you two are still nobles. I will find a way for you to go to the Old Summer Palace together. Once there, you will be on your own."
Nian Shilan looked at the two people and said: "You have also seen the beautiful lady today. If I hadn't been suppressing that Gu Guiren, I'm afraid it won't be long before he dares to show your face."
"Thank you for your concern. In the final analysis, concubines are not blessed."
Xingui took things lightly. She had never fought for favor. Now that her daughter was being raised by Nian Shilan's side, she had nothing to fight for.
But Angui people are different.
Although there is no queen in the palace now, she still lives very carefully every day.
She entered the palace together with Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang. Now they are both concubines and have children, but she is still just a little noble. She can't wait to become the head of the first palace.
