The Self-cultivation of the Noble Concubine Who Eats Melon

  Chapter 56 057: Not afraid of being scolded as a fool

  The four corners of the mahogany box are covered with gold, which is as deep as an adult's forearm, and there is a hole in the top of the box.

  Seeing that hole, Song Yunzhao thought of the lottery box for future generations, why put such a box here?

  There is no such plot in the book.

  Everyone's eyes were attracted by the box placed in the middle, and someone asked the nurse in charge what it was for.

  The nurse in charge looked at everyone meaningfully, "You girls will find out in a while, please sit down and wait."

   Hearing this, Song Yunzhao knew that there was nothing to ask from her, so he turned around and found a place by the window to sit down, and dragged Han Jinyi over.

  When everyone saw it, they scattered around and took their seats, but everyone's eyes still glanced at the wooden box in the hall from time to time.

  Han Jinyi looked at Yun Zhao, "What do you think the box is for?"

  Song Yunzhao shook his head, "Isn't it for drawing lots?"

   "Drawing lots?" Han Jinyi looked carefully at the box again after hearing the words, and turned to look at Song Yunzhao for a long time and said in a low voice, "It's really a bit similar, but what kind of lot should we draw?"

  Song Yunzhao also said casually, but now he shook his head, "I was just joking."

  Everyone was discussing, there were whispered voices in the hall from time to time, and everyone looked different.

  Song Yunzhao was tired all day long, so she wanted to find a place to lie flat and have a good sleep. She leaned her back on the chair, relaxed her whole body, and fell asleep with her eyes slightly lowered.

  Han Jinyi wanted to laugh when he saw it, "Tired?"

"are not you tired?"

   Naturally tired, Han Jinyi decided to learn from Song Yunzhao, and the two of them turned their backs to the crowd and began to play fish and be lazy.

  Lu Zhixue and Qin Xiyue were also talking about the box, their eyes glanced across the other side inadvertently, looking at Song Yunzhao's back with a bit of displeasure in their eyes.

  She didn't understand why Han Jinyi was willing to hang out with her.

   "What's the matter?" Qin Xiyue looked at Lu Zhixue's uneasy expression and asked with a smile.

  Lu Zhixue shook her head, looked at Fan Qingru and Feng Yunjin, "What do you think the box is for?"

   "In the main hall, it doesn't look like a useless thing. I can see that it must be useful, but it's hard to say what it will be used for." Feng Yunjin said.

  Fan Qingru also nodded, "Wait and see."

  Qin Xiyue looked at the box thoughtfully, but for a while she really couldn't figure out what it was used for.

   Time passed, and soon someone walked in.

  Song Yunzhao was gently pushed by Han Jinyi, she immediately opened her eyes, raised her head to look forward, and couldn't help but choke a little when she saw it.

  Yo, the person who came in was an acquaintance, Mr. Zhang!

   "Your Majesty has an order, please girls grab the name tags from the box." Zhang Maoquan conveyed the order, not looking at Song Yunzhao, he felt guilty.

  Everyone hurriedly got up and saluted to receive the order. After the salute, Lu Zhixue got up and asked, "Dare to ask why you grabbed the name tag from the box?"

  Zhang Maoquan didn't hesitate to hear the words, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty said, the first seal depends on the luck of the girls, and what you catch is what you get."

  The hall was silent for a moment.

  Song Yunzhao was also stunned, my mother, this is really the world in the book, can I still play like this?

  By lottery?

  But there is no such plot in the book, why did it change again?

  Emperor Ni's character design is about to collapse, you know?

  Ever since she was selected, I feel that the plot has changed again and again. Is it because of her cannon fodder?

  After thinking about it, she felt that it was impossible. How could she have such a card.

  Thinking of this, she went to see Qin Xiyue, this is the heroine, but when she saw Qin Xiyue's bewildered expression, she silently withdrew her gaze.

  In the book, the drama of giving a marriage to an unselected lady is gone, and her plan to leave the palace after being unselected has also disappeared. At this point, the drama of the emperor's first appointment of the heroine in the book to make her show off is also gone.

   Canonization by lottery?

   It's a good thing that he can figure it out, and he is not afraid that the courtiers will call him a fool.

  When Song Yunzhao was reading books, the emperor gave her the impression, from a fan’s point of view, that he was black-bellied, wise, and possessed the endurance of Goujian. He was able to deal with the courtiers for five years without losing the wind when he ascended the throne at a young age, and he could gradually control and erode the right to speak in the court. This is the aura of a proper hero shining.

  But now... from a cannon fodder point of view, the emperor really doesn't care about being a man, breaking the rules, breaking the plot, making her blind, and especially testing her IQ, it's too unfriendly.

  Thinking about it makes her feel very disturbed, but she has no choice. When she meets an emperor who doesn't play cards according to the usual rules, she can only fight against me.

  Zhang Maoquan looked at the crowd and said with a smile: "Girls, let's start now."

  There are only nine people in the hall. At this time, you look at me and I like you, and no one takes the initiative to step forward.

  Song Yunzhao stared at the box bitterly, stretched out her head with a knife, and retracted her head with a knife. Seeing that no one stood up, she lifted her foot and walked out.

  Qin Xiyue was taken aback for a moment, and quietly retracted her extended foot.

  Han Jinyi didn't expect that Song Yunzhao would be the first to go out, and she didn't have time to catch her, but when she thought about it, this was also her character, and she didn't fall behind in everything, so she raised her heel after thinking about it.

  Song Yunzhao didn't look at Zhang Maoquan either, but stared at the mahogany box. Even if the box was covered with gold and carved with exquisite patterns, it was useless to her.

  She focused on staring at the box, and said silently in her heart: Even if I am a cannon fodder, I am the most powerful cannon fodder, so I have to give me the capital to compete with the heroine, right? I don't want to be a blockbuster, but I want to be at the same level as the heroine! Don't seek to overwhelm others with power, but seek not to be overwhelmed!

  After Song Yunzhao finished the psychological counseling, she reached into the box and slid it casually. There was a rattling sound in the box. She held her breath and felt a wooden sign with her fingertips, and took it out without hesitation.

   Whether it will be successful or not, I tremble at this last moment.

  Song Yunzhao did not look at it immediately after taking it out, but took a step back. Unexpectedly, Han Jinyi was behind her. She stepped aside and said silently, "Come on!"

  Han Jinyi nodded sullenly, and she suddenly became a little nervous.

  Take a deep breath, reach into the wooden box, stir it up like Song Yunzhao, make the same clacking sound, then immediately grab a wooden sign and come out, also take a step back to make room for everyone, hold the wooden sign tightly and go back to your own position.

  Others saw what they were waiting for, and they all rushed forward.

  Song Yunzhao looked at Qin Xiyue and didn't know that someone pushed him. He staggered and lay down on the wooden box. She took the opportunity to reach in and grab one, and then returned to his position with a sullen face.

  Song Yunzhao:…

   Is this okay?

   It really is the treatment of the heroine, she is ashamed of herself!

  But she doesn't need the halo of the heroine, she can create a halo for herself, look at her, she snatched it first, she is very happy.

  Han Jinyi looked at Song Yunzhao, but didn't notice her slightly weird smile, and said in a tense voice, "What do you think I caught?"

   "I don't know that." Song Yunzhao spread his hands and said.

  She spread her hands, and the wooden sign in her palm was exposed. Han Jinyi's eyes just passed by, and her eyes were startled, and she immediately said joyfully, "Yun Zhao, look quickly."

  Song Yunzhao listened to Han Jinyi's pressing voice, and looked into her palm. On the front of the wooden sign was written Your Concubine. She turned the wooden sign over and saw the words Wangyougong.

   Your concubine?

   Wangyou Palace?

   Isn’t the heroine your concubine?

  Is she also your concubine?

same level?

  Song Yunzhao suppressed the surprise in his heart, and it was not in vain for her to make a wish. It was really such good luck.

  Suppressing surprise, went to see Han Jinyi.

  Han Jinyi met Song Yunzhao's eyes, then gently opened his palm, and saw the words Qiulan Palace written on it. Song Yunzhao's is the palace, and Han Jinyi's is the palace. The palace is definitely not as high as the palace regulations, so her status...

  Han Jinyi stared at the wooden sign, took a breath, then turned the wooden sign over, fixed his eyes on it, and the word "Xiaoyi" was written on it.

  Song Yunzhao saw that Han Jinyi breathed a sigh of relief, with a faint smile on his face, and she also breathed a sigh of relief.

  Han Jinyi was afraid that Song Yunzhao didn’t know much about the status in the palace, so he explained to her in a low voice, "Your concubine is the fourth rank, and Xiaoyi is the fifth rank. The rules in the palace can only be the master of the first rank if you are above the fourth rank. Congratulations, Yun Zhao. I just said that you are a lucky person, which is really good."

  Song Yunzhao could see that Han Jinyi's congratulations were sincere. She was a little puzzled, and asked in a low voice, "You're still so happy after getting the fifth grade?"

  Han Jinyi seemed to understand Yun Zhao's doubts, and said softly to her, "It's just right for me not to seek meritorious deeds but to seek no faults."

  Song Yunzao understood instantly, the essence of Gouzhuo is like this.

   They really are all the way.

  The two looked at each other, and they were all happy at once, Han Jinyi said: "That's it, now that you have become your concubine, I will also have a backer in the future."

  Song Yunzhao immediately said: "Let me rely on you!"

  Han Jinyi chuckled, she might not really need to rely on Song Yunzhao, but Song Yunzhao's quick response made her feel happy and relieved that she didn't make friends.

  Han Jinyi was happy when Xiaoyi got the fifth rank, and some people were not happy. Lu Zhixue caught a concubine from the fourth rank, and the frost on her face could turn into ice.

  The voices in the hall kept coming and going, and Song Yunzhao soon knew what the others had caught, and was in a daze for a while.

  Because all the people present except her, even the positions obtained by lottery are exactly the same as those in the book.

   Such a coincidence made her heart suddenly lift up.

  Is the plot ability so powerful?

  Even if the emperor did not confer the canonization himself, but chose the unserious method of drawing lots, the result can still match the plot in the book.

   Only she was an accident.

  Qin Xiyue conferred noble concubine, Lu Zhixue and Fan Qingru conferred concubine, Han Jinyi conferred Xiaoyi, Feng Yunjin conferred Xiaoyuan, Chen Miaohui conferred noble concubine, Dong Wenjun conferred noble, Zhu Ruolan conferred talent, Zhen Yushan conferred beauty.

  Among them, although Lu Zhixue and Fan Qingru were concubines from the fourth rank, the palace they were entrusted to was the master of the first palace. According to Zhang Maoquan, this was the grace of His Majesty.

  Lu Zhixue's coal-black face immediately brightened, with a hint of pride.

  The most eye-catching thing is Song Yunzhao. Although her family background here is not the bottom, she is almost the same, but she has captured a noble concubine.

  Song Yunzhao:…

   is what she asked for, so she is not afraid.

   Facing Lu Zhixue's almost fiery eyes, she also showed a standard female supporting smile, almost poking her out in anger.

  The masters in the hall have different joys and worries, Song Yunzhao is really relieved, there are cannon fodder on the left and right, of course she wants to be the most beautiful one.

  Who said cannon fodder must become ashes, she will definitely become that cannon fodder!

   At this time, Zhang Maoquan was also astonished, he never thought that Song Yunzhao was so lucky, he was worthy of being the person His Majesty liked.

  Zhang Mao retired with all his achievements and went to report to His Majesty, so that the palace servants waiting outside Changyin Pavilion came in and led everyone back to each palace.

  After coming out of Changyin Pavilion, some palace servants came up to lead the way. The one who led the way for Song Yunzhao was a round-faced little maid, who looked very festive and pleasing.

  Song Yunzhao laughed and said, "Thousands of miles are empty and the soul is clear, and thousands of branches are broken and the nose is fragrant and snowy. It is a good name."

  Xiangxue smiled all over her face when she heard the words, and said: "This is the first time this servant has heard my name like this. When you say it like this, this servant also thinks that my name sounds good."

   "Wen Bacha's poems are gorgeous in rhetoric, colorful and exquisite, and they are naturally pleasant." Song Yunzhao smiled, thinking that Wen Tingyun still has this nickname is also interesting.

  After coming out of Changyin Pavilion and walking along the palace road for a cup of tea, Xiangxue stopped in her tracks, "My lord, Wangyou Palace is here."

  Song Yunzhao was taken aback, he didn't expect that she would be the first to arrive.

  Everyone stopped in their footsteps. Qiqi looked up at Wangyou Palace. The cornices and brackets pierced into the sky, purple pillars and golden beams. The palace was surrounded by towering old trees, shaded by green trees, red walls and yellow tiles, resplendent in gold and jade. The three gold-plated characters of Wangyou Palace were dazzling in the sunlight. Standing in front of this plaque, Song Yunzhao was in a trance for a moment.

   "Yun Zhao, you go in and have a look first, I will take a step first, and talk to you when I get familiar with the place."

  Song Yunzhao turned his head to look at Han Jinyi, glanced casually, and met Qin Xiyue with a slightly complicated look. Lu Zhixue beside her raised her nostrils slightly, her face full of disdain.

  Song Yunzhao didn't bother to talk to her, bid farewell to Han Jinyi, watched her move on, and watched the backs of other beautiful girls gradually go away, disappearing between the rows of palace walls.

  Stepping into Wangyou Palace, you will be faced with a carved screen wall, bypassing the screen wall, you will be the main hall of Wangyou Palace, and there are two auxiliary halls in the east and west.

  This palace is more spacious, majestic, beautiful and gorgeous than her small courtyard in the Song Mansion. It would not be a bad idea to retire here in the future. Once the gate of the palace is closed, it will form a world of its own, which is very good.

  Stepping into the threshold, the first thing that catches the eye is the main hall. The majestic throne at the top is the place to formally receive guests. If there are palace concubines staying in the East and West Halls, they will be seated in this hall if they greet each other every day.

  The east side hall is a small study room. The bookshelves against the wall are empty. There is a large book case next to the window. The book case is complete with pen, ink, paper and inkstone. There is also a three-legged white jade incense burner on the window sill.

  From the East Side Hall, walk west through the main hall to the Ming Room, the place of daily living, and then to the bedroom hall. There is a large carved bed against the wall, with a blue embroidered bed curtain hanging on it, which makes people feel refreshed when they look at it in early summer.

  In addition, there are dressing tables, tables, chairs and coffee tables, and gold, silver and jade wares are also placed on the Duobao Pavilion. Song Yunzhao was very satisfied, and went out of the bedroom, sitting on the big couch facing the window outside, looking thoughtfully at Xiangxue who hadn't left yet.

  Xiangxue stood aside, and said at this time: "Master, this servant is originally from Wangyou Palace, from now on this servant will serve you."

  Song Yunzhao was not surprised, because it was written like this in the book, the maids of each palace welcomed the masters of each palace back.

   "Who else but you?" Song Yunzhao smiled, but he wondered whether these people could be trusted. The strife in the harem is no joke, and it is not impossible for someone to arrange eyeliner in this palace.

  Especially Concubine Shu and the others took the lead in the palace, so we had to guard against it.

   "The servant called someone in, and greeted the empress." Xiangxue said immediately.

  Song Yunzhao nodded slightly.

  Xiangxue walked out quickly, and soon came in again, with several people behind her, walking side by side with Xiangxue was a nun with a kind face and smiling eyes.

   "Master, this one is Madam Yu, the steward of Wangyou Palace."

  Nurse Yu stepped forward to salute, "The old slave pays homage to the master."

   "Please take care of Madam Yu, please take care of me in the future." Song Yunzhao said with a smile, the personnel affairs in this palace are managed by the Madam in charge, and she has a lot of power. It is best if the two can get along well, but if they have two hearts, it will take a little effort to replace her.

   "The master speaks seriously, and this old slave will naturally do his best to share the master's worries." Nanny Yu replied.

  Song Yunzhao nodded, looked at the only servant here, and heard Xiangxue say: "Master, this is Anshun, the servant of Wangyou Palace."

   "Anshun pays homage to the master."

   "Get up." Song Yunzhao nodded.

  Xiangxue pushed the other court ladies forward, "Master, this is Dianthus, Breeze and Rain. From now on, we will be the personal servants."

  Breeze...Yulu...

   This is the name, good!

   "Slaves pay homage to master."

  Song Yunzhao looked at the beautiful maids, then at the amiable Madam Yu and the taciturn Anshun. This initial configuration is not bad, as long as he is loyal, he can be trained slowly.

   It's a pity that several people from the Song Mansion can't follow in, otherwise she will save a lot of trouble.

  Thinking of this, Song Yunzhao remembered that before she ran for the election, she thought she would leave the palace, and she didn't settle for Luo Mama, Jiang Xiang, and Qian Cao first. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but worry, because she was afraid that the Cai family would anger them.

  But she can't leave the palace now, so she can only write a letter to her father, asking him to arrange several people for her.

   It's just that there's no rush for this matter. Her situation in the palace is still uncertain. Presumably Mrs. Cai doesn't dare to act now, and she still has time to deal with it.

  Song Yunzhao thought of this, looked at Aunt Yu and the others, and said with a slow smile: "From now on, our master and servant will watch over and help each other in Wangyou Palace. If you are loyal to me, I will protect you well and promise you a good future. But if you dare to betray the master, I am not a soft-hearted person. If you don't believe me, you can go to the Erotic Palace to find out what kind of temperament I am."

  Song Yunzhao is not like the heroine in the book who focuses on soft influence, she comes up to shock people's hearts. In this world, people's hearts can change, but interests will not change.

  Although these words are very vulgar, they are very useful.

  She doesn't have the halo of a heroine, so let's do something practical.

  She opened the package she put on the big couch, took out the box containing the gold and silver locks, looked at Mammy Yu and said, "Mammy is tired, so let's divide these up. It's today's meeting gift, and I'll be good to you in the future. We, master and servant, are united, and the days will be better."

  Nurse Yu immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Master, for the reward."

  Following this sentence, several other people also followed suit, and the hall became lively for a while.

   Nanny Yu asked Xiangxue to make tea for the master, told Shi Zhu to divide the gold and silver, and asked Qingfeng to take the parcels for the master and tidy them up.

  Nurse Yu said to Anshun: "Go out and inquire about the news, and see when the Liushang Bureau will come to tailor the clothes for the master."

   Anshun immediately responded and turned around and ran out.

   Yulu looked at Nanny Yu, "Mommy, what about me?"

   "Go and see if there is any news from other palaces, and how they will be arranged next."

   "Hey, servant girl is going now." Yulu also turned her head and ran away.

   Song Yunzhao looked at Nanny Yu's arrangement without saying a word, and thought it was pretty good. This steward is a person with something, well organized, and should have been prepared in his heart.

   "Ma'am, can you tell me about the situation in this palace?" Song Yunzhao decided to test Yuma Yu, who did not appear in the book, so it is impossible to know her character.

  Nurse Yu responded with a smile, she collected her mind, and then slowly said: "Returning to the master, when Concubine Chu was still there, the concubine was the first in the palace, but after Concubine Chu died of illness, the situation in the palace changed. The three concubines have the same status, and they are evenly matched, and it is impossible to tell who is the best."

  Song Yunzhao nodded inwardly, what Nanny Yu said was honest and matched the book.

  Why can’t tell the difference between high and low? It’s not because the emperor played well with his own balance.

  While talking, Nanny Yu observed Song Guibin's expression, and saw that the master was young, but he was very calm, and there was no clue on his face. The more she was like this, the more cautious she was when she spoke.

   "Those masters who entered the palace with the three concubines back then, those who have fallen out of favor, and those who have been relegated, have no chance to face the saints on weekdays."

  Hearing this, Song Yunzhao looked at Nanny Yu and asked, "I heard that the concubines who entered the palace last time had good family backgrounds. At this point, don't the family care?"

  Nurse Yu smiled softly when she heard the words, "My master just entered the palace, and I don't know much about the affairs of this palace. Think about it, every master in this palace has a good family background, but there are differences in their ranks. You can see that this concubine is all from the best family background, so other things are naturally not important."

  Song Yunzhao understands, Concubine Shu and others are suppressing dissidents in the palace, so naturally there are their family members outside the palace to rule over the family of the demoted concubine for them.

  At the beginning, the emperor chose Qin Xiyue because Qin Xiyue's family was well-off, and she was also very intelligent. With the hands of the Qin family, the emperor could display the emperor's skills in the court.

  Therefore, the heroine is of great value, and it is only natural that she stays in the palace.

   But what does she have?

  Song Yunzhao still couldn't figure out what use the emperor kept her for.

   After all, she is really of little use value.

  Thinking of this, Song Yunzhao looked at Nanny Yu, "Does Nanny know about the tea banquet hosted by Concubine Shu?"

  Song Yunzhao just looked at Nanny Yu, staring at her face without moving, this is her real test of her.

  Go to Xiaoxiang Academy to see the update.

   The 6,000-word update has been completed today. My little cuties, please ask for a ticket in the new month. Thank you for your support and gratitude.
