C9 An Audience

Three days later, Qingzhi woke up at dawn. Shuyue asked if the dress was good but Qingzhi said, "Lanqiu, how do you think I should dress up today?"

Lanqiu thought for a while and then solemnly said, "When I was helping young mistress collect the things earlier, I saw a light colored dark flower pleated satin dress and this servant thought that it was very good. As for the hairstyle, just wrap it up a little and make it into a bun."

"Shuyue, why aren't you doing what Lanqiu said?" Shuyue replied and her hands did not stop. Qingzhi looked at Lanqiu and smiled, "Very suitable for me. Lanqiu, help me take a look at these things. It would be a good thing if we can always be partners in the deep palace."

Lanqiu was also slightly moved as she came over to help Qingzhi tie up the hair and said seriously," It is good that young mistress does not mind this servant. This servant will also do her best. "

Because Consort Rou had already greeted her early in the morning and said that her health was not good and that she would arrive a little later. Qingzhi was a person who had just entered the Palace and respected Imperial Noble Consort. She let her go first and did not need to wait for her.

When Qingzhi arrived outside the Yanqing Palace's Lanlin Hall, there was already someone who arrived first. It was a beautiful and lovable girl. It was precisely Dong Yutang who had spoken during the talent show. There was also a reason for this. She was staying at the Bright Moon Pavilion in Yan Qing Palace, which was the closest to Lanlin Hall.

Dong Yutang saw Qingzhi and unwillingly came over to greet. Qingzhi nodded and before she said "Beauty Dong, please rise," Dong Yutang had already stood up. Lanqiu's heart was somewhat indignant but young mistress who was by her side was very indifferent and she naturally did not know what to say.

Gradually, the person was about to arrive. Meng Nianyun did not see her for a few days and gave a standard bow before holding hands and speaking, "Elder sister and Consort Rou live together. Is it still easy to get along?"

Qingzhi nodded, "Consort Rou's character is very good and never makes things difficult for people. As for you, after you greet Imperial Noble Consort later, come to my palace. I have prepared some things for you to walk around the Inner Palace. You must have something to arrange."

Meng Nianyun's father was not greedy for money and did not scheme for personal gain. This time around, he went to the Palace to use the entire family's strength to prepare for Nianyun. In the end, it was not as good as the other concubines who had a solid family background. In just a few short days. There were already servants secretly mocking Nianyun, even though Nianyun was a good girl. Qingzhi's words were tactful again and she still blushed. She softly said, "Thank you elder sister for the trouble, but these things were prepared by elder sister's family for elder sister. I..."

Qingzhi interrupted her words and comforted, "In the future, you will be my family in the Palace. You must take care of each other. If you acknowledge me as your elder sister, You are welcome. " At this point, he was afraid that Nianyun would reject him again. He found another way to ask her, "Is the girl close to you alright? When she saw us talking just now, She backed away. She was very tactful."

"Hener is a few years older than me. I am new here. " She is timid, but she is very powerful. Help me control the people below. She said that she was previously working in the Imperial Kitchens, but now that she's been transferred to serve me, she's already very satisfied "

Meng Nianyun said good things for her own maidservant and Qingzhi felt much more at ease when she heard her say so and only instructed," But you cannot be too weak. After a long time, there will always be those petty people who see that you can be bullied and you are also raised by your parents. How can you allow others to degrade you. "

Qingzhi's words were very direct but Meng Nianyun understood that it was for her own good and immediately nodded her head in agreement. She also said. "In the future, if you can be as common as elder sister, elder sister must teach me more."

After speaking for a while, they did not feel that the waiting time was long. After a few high-rank consorts in the Palace arrived one after another, Eunuch Li by Imperial Noble Consort's side came out and invited everyone to enter. After each palace's main seat took a seat, beautiful ladies like Qingzhi who had just entered the Palace stood silently.

Imperial Noble Consort was dressed in a pale yellow palace dress and there were large flowers of peonies embroidered on it. It was very luxurious but her features were clear and her face was like a full moon. This set of clothes made her look even more noble. Loo Yingzhen swept her gaze around and was just about to speak when Eunuch Li sang outside, "Concubine Ya has arrived."

Qingzhi was stunned for a moment before she realized that this Concubine Ya was the concubine that the Emperor liked and personally bestowed the title.

There was an exchange between the female and female sitting in a high position. With a look, one could hear light footsteps. Concubine Ya had a sharp chin and a delicate figure. Her voice was like an oriole that came out of the valley, "The concubine came late, please forgive me."

Imperial Noble Consort gave a warm smile, "Since you are here, quickly take a seat. All the younger sisters are still waiting to greet you."

Before Concubine Ya could say anything, Concubine Wan and Pei Wanxiu had already rushed to say, "Your Ladyship, the concubine thought that Concubine Ya was sleeping with her last night and thought that her body was not in a good mood today so she came late. But all of the younger sisters in the Palace are here to pay their respects to your Ladyship. If your Ladyship says so, Concubine Ya will really be ashamed."

When Concubine Ya Hee Yushen heard her say so, she did not retort but instead had a spoiled appearance. She bowed to Imperial Noble Consort and sat in the seat that should be taken.

Imperial Noble Consort clearly knew that Concubine Wan was trying to sow discord between Hee Yushen and the other concubines so she did not say anything. She acted as if she did not hear and signaled Lingxiang to start to greet.

Lingxiang then guided the newly entered elegant ladies to bow to the various masters. First it was Imperial Noble Consort who was the same as the second in command. Although it was not to the extent of three kowtows and nine kowtows, the etiquette was also much more complicated than usual until she heard Imperial Noble Consort say, "All of the sisters, stand up." Only then did everyone heave a sigh of relief in their hearts.

There was no Noble Consort below Imperial Noble Consort, and the next one was the rank two Consort Rou. Bai Chuwei had always been cold and did not display her might at this moment. She waved her hand and said, "Please rise."

After that was Concubine Lee of the Second Stage, Concubine Jing of the Third Stage and Concubine Wan. These were all normal etiquette and were all gone. When it was Concubine Ya, Lingxiang said, "Ya young mistress is not the head of a palace. We can just meet each other."

Qingzhi knew that starting from the position of the Third Rank, it could be considered as the main seat of the Palace. But she did not expect that Concubine Ya was only slightly favoured and was only at the position of the Fourth Rank. She was not welcomed by others.

Of course, she, Fu Qingzhi, was only at the rank 5 and had just entered the Palace. She was already treading on thin ice. It would be fine if other people's matters were to be taken to heart.

After seeing people like this, Imperial Noble Consort started to lecture them. She only said things such as "We must get along harmoniously and not be jealous and quarreling. As Imperial Concubine wants to value her own body and continue to give birth to offspring for the Imperial Family," and so on and so forth.

Imperial Noble Consort held her identity and participated in the entire selection of female talents. She would not pick one person out to see but there would always be people who would not be able to bear it. When the lecture was over, Concubine Wan was the first to ask, "May I know which one is Worthy Lady Fu?"

Qingzhi took a step forward and blessed her before replying, "Greeting Concubine Wan."

Pei Wanxiu sized Fu Qingzhi up and down and her heart was filled with an indescribable feeling. Although this Worthy Lady Fu's appearance was not bad but she was really old and was far from being comparable to a ten year old little girl. Her skin was white and had a tinge of red. Just by looking at her, one would be happy.

But what Pei Wanxiu said was, "I heard that there was a rare beauty in this talent show a long time ago. It is precisely this Worthy Lady Fu. Now that I see her, it is not for nothing."
