I am cultivating myself in the palace

Xi Po woke up early today.

Burning incense and cleaning hands, respectfully put three pillars of fragrance on the Bodhisattva, and kowtowed.

"I beg Bodhisattva to bless the old woman to give up today's matter smoothly, and don't make any more fools!"

Today is the third day that Yue Qingyan married into the palace, according to the rules, he will return home in three days.This is also Xi Po's last job in the Prince Yan's Mansion. After it is successfully completed, she can receive the reward and leave the mansion at night.She is not a servant of Prince Yan's mansion, but like a matchmaker, she specializes in presiding over wedding and funeral ceremonies.

Yue Qingyan's order can be said to have been heard and heard in her career, but she has never seen it.

On the night of the wedding, the bridegroom was kicked out of the wedding room, and the next day he went to the concubine's room to light cannons and set dogs off. I really don't know what else Princess Yan can do.So she was restless, so she hugged the Buddha's feet temporarily and asked the Bodhisattva to bless her.

It was still early, Xipo hurried to Qingyan Courtyard slowly, according to the rules, the concubines would come to say hello, but she thought that Princess Yan was not used to rules, so she probably wouldn't get up so early.Unexpectedly, after entering the courtyard, she found that Qingyan had already got up and was sitting by the window, so listless that she asked the servant girl to comb her hair.

This is strange.Xi Po said thoughtfully, when she entered the room, she saw a face-to-face woman in a dark blue palace dress standing in Qingyan's room.

"Nurse is here." Qing Yan yawned, waved to her, saw Xi Po staring at her, and said: "This is Aunt Xu who is beside the Empress Dowager."

"Oh, my mother-in-law greeted my eldest aunt." Xi Po greeted her in a hurry, who is the queen mother, and there are rare nobles around her.

Aunt Xu's face was indifferent, she had seen her with a light blessing, she turned her head and continued to educate Qing Yan: "It is the majesty and responsibility of the mistress to accept the concubine's house, and since the princess has entered the palace, she should do it How can you set an example and break the rules by speaking lightly?"

With a bitter face, Qingyan said perfunctorily, "Okay... I'll just make a suggestion..."

From the corner of her eyes, she saw that Aunt Xu wanted to say more, and she quickly said seriously: "What Auntie said is very true, I will remember it carefully."

This was the only way to stop Aunt Xu's nagging mouth.

Xi Po is surprised, there is still someone who can take care of Princess Yan, this Aunt Xu is really capable!

In fact, Xi Po guessed right, Qingyan did not get up, she hated seeing the concubines in the mansion every morning with their hypocrisy and submissive faces in her previous life, so she abolished the rule of greeting each other at the hour of the day, and everyone saw each other less often, and felt comfortable with each other.Reborn in this life, I had long forgotten about this matter, and was dragged out of the bed by Aunt Xu who was sleeping soundly.After that, she just mentioned that she was exempt from greetings, and Aunt Xu nagged her all morning.

Qingyan was really afraid of this aunt, she was full of etiquette, but she was the queen mother's person, so not only could he not hate her, he had to be careful with her.

Just finished washing here, the servants reported back, saying that the two concubines had arrived.Qingyan supported Yu'er's hand, walked out of the bedroom Shi Shiran, walked around to the main couch in the front hall, and sat down.Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Wen stood on both sides of the hall with their heads down. After yesterday's commotion, their faces calmed down quite a bit.

Qing Yan glanced at Jiang Shi, and pointedly said: "Concubine Jiang seems to be doing well."

Jiang smirked and said, "Thanks to the princess."

Qingyan smiled slightly, then turned to look at Wen's again: "I heard that Concubine Wen had a bad stomach yesterday? You should pay more attention to your food."

Wen didn't dare to look at her, but Nuonuo said yes.

At this time, Xipo brought up the concubine's tea that Qingyan didn't drink yesterday, and asked the two to complete the rules.Because Jiang was splashed with tea once in the previous life, Qingyan didn't dare to be careless and stared at Jiang's hand movements, but this time, Jiang didn't act like a monster again.

Qingyan drank their tea, cleared her throat, and said slowly.

"You are older than me, and you have served the lord longer than me. Normally, I should call you elder sister and ask for advice. But since I am the master mother now, the inner courtyard of the palace must follow my rules. The princess is not difficult to get along with, as long as you know the etiquette and keep your peace of mind, everyone will have a good time. But if someone makes trouble out of nothing, sows dissension, and always wants to make things bad, then the princess has a way to make this person sad."

As Qingyan spoke, her eyes sternly swept over everyone in the hall. This was for Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Wen, and also for all the servants in the mansion.She doesn't mind people thinking that she is harsh, because she already knows that kindness can only be deceived in this palace.Just like in her previous life, when she first entered the palace, she said that getting married was a woman's second reincarnation. Therefore, she was full of expectations and treated everyone in the palace with sincerity, but all she got was scheming and deceit.

In this life, she has drawn a good line and showed her fangs and claws, not for favor and profit, but just to protect herself and the people she cares about.

After the training, Qingyan dismissed Jiang Shi and Wen Shi, and found a reason to ask Aunt Xu away with gratitude. Finally, she calmed down and went back to the back room. After breakfast, Xi Po came to tell her to go home rules.

Qingyan's mood faded, he turned over the red paper on the pressure plate and folded it back and forth, responding to each other, and suddenly said: "Nurse, can we not go back to this door?"

Xi Po's eyebrows twitched, and she said to my aunt, what kind of demon are you going to do?He hurriedly said: "Of course not. After returning home in three days, the bride pays homage to her parents, and the son-in-law meets her father-in-law. These are all etiquette passed down from the ancestors. Besides, which girl doesn't want her mother's family?"

She only saw people who didn't want to leave after returning the door, but she didn't see anyone who didn't want to go back at all.

But the educated youth Yan just sneered, she wanted to leave home?no kidding.She wished she had nothing to do with the Yue family in this life.

Xi Po was curious for a moment: "Why doesn't the princess want to go back?"

Qingyan glanced at her indifferently, and Xi Po knew that she had asked too many questions that shouldn't be asked, so she hurriedly apologized.Qingyan was not annoyed, and said slowly: "It's nothing, I just think that women marry and follow their husbands. Since I have married the prince, I have nothing to do with Yuefu. Why do I have to go back?"

She was leaning against the window, looking into the distance, the sky was as blue as washing, and there were birds circling by, the woman murmured: "That's not my home."

Xi Po didn't know how to answer this, so she just smiled.

Qingyan played with the paper for a while, then sighed suddenly: "Forget it, I have to go back anyway. They should return that thing to me."

Xi Poduan was puzzled by this question without question, but seeing that Qingyan was willing to submit obediently, she already felt that the Buddha had manifested himself.Out of the corner of Qingyan's eyes, she caught a glimpse of her obviously relieved, amused in his heart, and suddenly became playful: "Do you want to make a bet with me?"

Xi Po felt ominous: "What is the princess going to bet on?"

"Just bet on whether the prince will come back with me." The woman folded a butterfly, held it with two fingers and pinched it lightly, and the butterfly's wings fluttered slightly, lifelike.

Qingyan smiled resolutely: "I bet not."

She was so angry with him, thinking of how disgusted men were towards her in her previous life, she must not even want to see her now.

"This... How is this possible..." Xi Po laughed, suddenly feeling a little confused.She has seen how Yue Qingyan and Mu Zheng fought these two days. It is understandable to say that King Yan would not let go, but this marriage is a gift from the emperor. It's not just etiquette, but the decency given by the Tian family. For the sake of the emperor, King Yan will pretend to be there, otherwise the refutation is not the Yue family, but the face of Emperor Yin.

But seeing Qingyan's unmistakable appearance, she felt anxious -- this King Yan is also unreliable, right?

Then she suddenly thought about Mu Zheng going to the concubine's room, it seemed really unreliable, but at this point, she can only bet that King Yan attaches great importance to the emperor's life, so she gritted her teeth: "My wife thinks the prince He knows the general situation." The implication is, who is as ignorant as you.

Qingyan couldn't hear it, and just smiled: "Then Mammy is gambling." She rolled her eyes and snapped her fingers: "For the gambling money, let Mammy preside over the wedding ceremony."

So I kept tidying up while talking like this, and when the time was almost up, the housekeeper came to ask for instructions, saying that all the preparations for the return ceremony were finished, and asked when the princess would leave.Xi Po hurriedly asked, "Is your lord ready?"

The butler had a strange expression, and looked at Xi Po with pity: "The prince said he was not feeling well, please go back to the house by yourself."

As soon as these words came out, Xi Po suddenly felt that the sky was dark, and she almost spit out a mouthful of blood. She worked hard for three days and was frightened countless times. With such a result, everyone would vomit blood.

Qingyan shrugged, look, Mu Zheng is really giving her face, she suddenly thought that this could be a way to make money, so she will bet on Mu Zheng's reaction in the future, guaranteeing that the bet is sure.

She thought it didn't matter, but Yu'er was aggrieved for her: "How can the prince do this, this is treating you too harshly!"

"Forget it, who made people feel unwell." Qingyan sat in front of the mirror, holding Shi Dai's thrush leisurely, but her mouth was harsh, "I just don't know if the prince is unwell again and went to the bed of some concubine's room ."

"Pfft..." Yu'er laughed all at once.

The housekeeper and Xipo were so embarrassed that they could only pretend that they didn't understand.

Qingyan looked calm, raised Shi Dai strips, compared eyebrows on both sides, and suddenly said: "You guys think, should I go and have a look again?"

The housekeeper was sweating and stammering: "This...don't worry about it, the time has come..."

Qingyan smiled without saying yes or no, and she was quite satisfied after drawing her eyebrows. From the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of A Weng's look of concern in the mirror, and said suddenly: "A Weng, why don't you put the two black dogs together?" Take good care of me, and the prince will probably need it."

One sentence made the butler cough violently in fright, and said, "Princess, please spare this old slave!"

After teasing someone, Qingyan let out a mouthful of resentment that he had to go back to the house. He just felt comfortable and didn't intend to make things difficult for the housekeeper.After all, this old butler is actually a very nice person. In his previous life, he had always been respectful to her, and he was a rare servant who was not snobbish. Qingyan had a good impression of him, and felt that he was as approachable as a grandfather.

The hour has come.Qingyan looked at herself in the bronze mirror. The woman in the mirror was familiar but unfamiliar. This was a 15-year-old girl. Although she was wearing a woman's bun, her brows and eyes still looked like a girl's. With vigorous aura and vitality, unlike seven years later, she has already had white hair that cannot be hidden, and her eyes are full of calculations and exhaustion, like a walking dead in the dusk.

so good.She touched herself in the mirror with her fingertips, as if she was whispering in her previous life--

You have to live well, Yue Qingyan, you have to live everything you didn't understand before!

The woman withdrew her hand, Shi Shiran stood up, and lightly threw the folded butterfly out of the window, and the butterfly flew up in the wind and flew to the sky somewhere.
