Just as I was about to go back to my room to rest, a large group of people came to congratulate me. They were all relatives who had received news that they were coming to congratulate me, so by the time I saw them off, it was already time for dinner. Today was a really tiring day, after dinner, I comfortably soaked a flower petal bath, will leave.

The night passed in silence.

When the sun rose, yet another new day began, and the day before my arrival at the palace neared another day. Initially, after eating breakfast, I was prepared to head out with my two brothers to play, but just as I was about to go out, I met an aunt from the palace who said that she was here to teach me the etiquette of the palace. Until the day before I entered the palace, my brother and I went out to play, but our plans ended in vain.

I have to say, ever since the aunt came, it has been the beginning of my life as a cup of wine. Every day, Liu'er dug him out of bed and cleaned him up. She would squint as she sat down in front of her aunt's court. From his manners to his eating and drinking, she had to follow the etiquette of the court.

Many times, he wanted to slap the table and leave, but reality was cruel. The moment someone took out the Royal Medallion, the person would be like a wilted eggplant. The facts proved that the ideal was very beautiful, but the reality was very cruel. When one could not bear it any longer, he had to continue enduring.

The day soon arrived when I was to enter the palace.

In the middle of the night I was pulled out of bed like a puppet, dressed in layers of complicated palace clothes, and then my makeup. The rouge and powder were all over my face, and I was so upset that I even had a bunch of pearls stuck in my hair, and I could feel my neck breaking under the pressure of the steps and the golden fork.

It was two hours after I had finished washing up. I was supported by my aunt to the front hall. Then, a young eunuch came forward to announce the order.

"The imperial edict has arrived, Yue Yu accepts it."

"Chenqie shall obey." My aunt helped me to my knees, and my parents and two older brothers knelt behind me.

"According to the heavens' will, the Emperor has decreed that the moon shall be given to you before you enter the palace at the North Gate today. You shall bestow upon the Violet Cloud Pavilion the gift of your presence."

"Your consort accepts the decree and thanks the Emperor for his grace. Long live and long live the Emperor."

I received the royal decree expressing my gratitude, offering tea to my parents, kowtowing to them, and then being supported by my aunt to walk over to Luan Zhan. Next to Luan Zhan stood twelve palace maids and eunuchs carrying palace lanterns and incense burners.

As the saying goes, once you enter the palace, it is as deep as the sea, it is difficult to come out. Although once you enter the palace, you will be able to enjoy endless wealth and glory, but life in the harem is like walking on thin ice, and every step you take is difficult. When you are favored, you will be plotted against. Forget it, since I'm already destined to enter anyway, I can only let nature take its course. I turned around and took one last deep look at the Lan Manor, my parents and my two brothers. With the support of my aunt, I sat on the Luan Luan.

After about an hour, they arrived at the north gate. They descended from the north gate and entered the palace on foot. What a huge palace. Golden glazed tiles sparkled in the sunlight. Under the deep blue sky, the palace's glazed gold roof was exceptionally brilliant. The palaces of this era were exactly the same as the palaces of the past, gazing at the majestic and majestic palaces before them.

I could not help but sigh that I was going to spend the rest of my life here, and that the sky I could see was square, like a canary in its ornate cage, imprisoning my freedom. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, he could see many palace maids and eunuchs bustling about. After walking for about an hour, they finally arrived at the Purple Cloud Pavilion.

There were eight eunuchs standing neatly by the entrance. The maids wore pink palace dresses, and the eunuchs were dressed in blue. When I walked in, the eight of them immediately kneeled down to greet me.

"Servant (servant) pays respect to Lady Yu and Lady Yu and Jin An."

"No need for formalities!" I waved my sleeve at them to get up.

"Thank you, Lady Xianyu."

After getting up, the two eunuchs opened the gates to the palace. A magnificent pavilion appeared in front of them. Green pine trees, cypresses, and bamboo interspersed with mountain rocks, forming a scene of evergreen for all four seasons. Stepping into the chamber, he saw that the chamber was made of rosewood, with the crystal jade wall as the lamp, the pearl as the curtain, and Fangjin as the foundation.

On the six feet wide bed of the Agarwood bed hung a moon-white gauze curtain, which was embroidered with a sprinkling of silver strings and crabapple blossoms. The wind caused the silk to flutter, as if it had fallen into the Mystic Sea of Clouds. The innermost area was a rosewood bed that was about two meters long. Jade pillows and quilts were neatly stacked on top of each other on the bed. The decorations of the entire chamber were magnificent and extremely luxurious. After watching for a while, I walked out of the chamber and sat down at the head of the hall outside.

"Lady Gongyu has already entered the palace. This servant has succeeded and left. This servant will take his leave now." Aunt came up to me and bowed.

"Thank you for your care and guidance these days. This little gift is my gift to aunty. Please accept it."

I took a Night Pearl from my purse and placed it in my aunt's hands. Making a good relationship in this palace is the most important thing.

"I shall accept it as you bid me. I will take my leave first."

Aunt quickly stuffed the Night Pearls into her sleeve, then bowed and left once more. Those who stayed in the palace were truly astute!

"Liu'er, help me send off my aunt."

"Yes, Empress." Liu'er nodded and sent her aunt out.

Since I've come to the palace, I should establish my authority. Otherwise, if I were to be harmed by my subordinates so that I don't even know how I die, Liu'er will definitely be able to trust me. The eight of them have to teach me a lesson.

"Your servant (Your servant) greets the Empress." The eight of them entered, then knelt down and saluted.

I put on my proper dignity as a master and didn't say anything. I didn't call them to their feet, but only swept my ice-cold gaze across them. Sometimes, I would be silent. Sure enough, the eight of them lowered their heads even lower. One timid palace maid was already shivering, and Liu'er was looking at me in disbelief. It was probably because she didn't see how dignified her young lady looked. The entire hall was completely silent.

I lifted the teacup from the table, gently lifted the lid, and slowly sipped my tea. After a long time, I put down my cup.

"Raise your heads and let me see."

When the eight of them heard this, they slowly raised their heads. The four palace maids timidly didn't dare to look me in the eye. Hmm, it seems like the deterrence from before was indeed effective, but it was still not enough.

"Do you know why I called you all here?"

"Your servant (Your servant) does not know. Please enlighten me, Empress." The eight of them replied carefully, afraid that they would offend their new master.

"I know that you have all stayed in this palace for quite some time, and have even served other masters in the past. If any of you still think highly of your old master and want to return, you can go to Liu'er to collect five taels of silver and leave.

I went back to my tea and looked at them casually. These eight people were still kneeling there quietly without any expression on their faces. Soon, seven minutes had passed and no one had moved.

I put down the teacup and wiped the corner of my mouth with my handkerchief. "It's been a quarter of an hour. Anyone who wants to leave, get up and take a step forward."

I waited for a while, but still no one moved. " What? Don't any of you want to go? "

"Your servant (Your servant) humbly requests the Empress to leave behind a servant (Your servant), and your servant (Your servant) is willing to follow the Empress." The eight answered in unison, their expressions unchanged.

These people were either too scheming or really wanted to come down.

"You don't even want to leave? Very good! However, I will say something first. If you want to become my person, it is very simple. There is only one requirement, and that is to be absolutely loyal and never betray. I am a very protective person. If anyone dares to touch my people, I will repay them double.

However, if anyone has any ill intentions towards me, who dares to betray me and sell me for honor, I will definitely make them suffer a fate worse than death. " I picked up the teacup from the table and shook it to dust.

"A servant (servant) vows to follow the Empress with his life. His face is covered with blood, and he will not refuse." Although the eight of them were terrified of me, they quickly regained their senses.

As expected of someone who had been in the palace, his ability to adapt to situations was not bad.

"Very well, remember what you have said today!" "Liu'er, reward."

Liu'er nodded and walked over to each of them and gave them fifteen silver coins. To be able to help out your subordinates was a good leader.

"I thank the Empress for this gift. This servant (this servant) shall be the Empress's servant. After her death, it shall be the same as after her death."

The eight people accepted the silver and thanked him respectfully. Their faces were brimming with joy. No matter the time, money was undoubtedly the best tool to win people's hearts.

"Hmm, get up, what's your name? "One by one, I'll start with you."

I pointed to the tall eunuch on the far left, who looked calm and capable.

"Yes, Niangniang. Your servant is called Little An. I'm 22 years old this year, and have been in the palace for eight years."

"Reporting to the Empress, this servant's name is Little Rui Zi. I've only turned twenty this year, and I've been in the palace for seven years." Little An looked at the rather simple and honest young eunuch to his right.

"Reporting to the Empress, this servant Little Xiang Zi, this servant Little He, is a blood related brother. He's eighteen years old this year, and he's been in the palace for four years."

The two eunuchs behind him continued. Wow, these two brothers entered the palace together to be eunuchs, yet they entered at such a young age. It's really pitiful.

"Reporting to the Empress, this servant Chunfeng, this servant Xia Yu, this servant Qiu Shuang, and this servant Dong Xue are all from the same village. They've all been in the palace for three years, and this year they've all just turned seventeen."

So that timid palace maid is called Dong Xue, she's really cute.

"I understand. All of you can go down and do your own things. If there is anything you need me to do, I will tell you."

"Yes, your servant will take his leave." The eight people respectfully saluted and left.

Lil 'An looked pretty good. It should be good for him to be the head eunuch, but he couldn't be too hasty. He had to observe for a while before deciding. I looked after them thoughtfully.

"Miss, you're so awesome. You managed to make these people obedient with just a few words. Liu'er has never seen Miss with such a dignified appearance." Willow looked at me with admiration.

There are many things you don't know!
