Comprehensive film and television: The favorite concubine is in power

On the third day after visiting the temporary palace, they finally returned to the palace. Although it was only for two days, the sour atmosphere in the palace was about to flood the Forbidden City.

Xia Dongchun was quite smart. She went to Jingren Palace to pay her respects to the Queen before returning to Yanxi Palace.

After performing the ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows, Yixiu gently and virtuously called out to Jianqiu and personally helped Xia Dongchun up.

"It is really hard for you to come all the way here to pay your respects to me. Although I feel sorry for you, I cannot violate the ancestral rules."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I should have paid my respects to you the day after I slept with you, but I was late because I was in the palace." Xia Dongchun sat down with a smile on her face, a perfect fake smile on her face.

"Speaking of which, I noticed that you have lost a lot of weight, which shows that you must have had a hard time recuperating. Although I feel sorry for you, I am ill now, and I have to leave the trivial matters of the six palaces to Concubine Hua to assist. I really have no power to do so."

Yixiu looked at her calmly, and when she saw Xia Dongchun's face change, she tried to make amends by saying, "Fortunately, the emperor loves me now, and I can say that my suffering has finally paid off."

Xia Dongchun argued with the other party for a while, and only felt relieved after leaving Jingren Palace.

"Jianqiu, look at Concubine Shu. It turns out that she was hiding her abilities before." Yixiu looked at the door. Although the other party had lost weight, she had changed so much in just over a month. It seemed that she was hiding from them before.

"No matter what she is, she is just a small noble lady. Your Majesty, you don't have to bother with her. But when Concubine Hua sees her tomorrow, she will definitely be surprised."

Jianqiu seemed to have seen the expressions of the concubines who would come to pay respects tomorrow, and her face was full of mockery. Yixiu just smiled and said nothing more.

As soon as he left the house, Xiao Laizi came running over. As soon as he got close, he immediately knelt down to greet her: "Greetings to Lady Shu, may Lady Shu be blessed!"

Chunlan looked at him and said jokingly, "Eunuch, why did you run so far to pay your respects? The young lady won't run away."

But soon Xiao Laizi told Xia Dongchun the purpose of his visit, and whispered to her, "My lady, the emperor has just issued an order that there are too many concubines living in the Yanxi Palace, so he has granted you the right to move to the east side hall of the Chengqian Palace. He has already asked someone to move your things there yesterday."

Xia Dongchun didn't expect there would be such a thing. He raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Did the emperor say that?"

"Yes, eunuch Xiao Xiazi came here in person, it must be true." Xiao Laizi smiled and bowed beside her, his tone full of pride, "This Chengqian Palace was where the late emperor's Empress Xiaoyiren lived, and now there's no one inside. Chengqian Palace is the first of the six eastern palaces, and I heard it's extremely spacious and magnificent."

Xia Dongchun changed his route and went directly to Chengqian Palace. Chengqian Palace was separated from Jingren Palace by a road and was farther away from Jingren Palace than Yanxi Palace.

But it’s not that far away, it’s just that this location is really eye-catching…

But since the emperor has given it to me, I have to accept it.

Only after entering did she realize what luxury was. It was much bigger than the Yanxi Palace. In the Yanxi Palace, she lived in the back hall, which only had two rooms plus two side rooms. There were many people inside, and everything she did was watched. Now it is quiet.

What she didn't expect was that Yinzhen actually sent Zhang De and Yue Yan here. They were both old men in the palace, and even Su Peisheng had some friendship with them, so Yinzhen had some impression of them and sent them to Chengqian Palace. They were still the ones in charge, and now they were familiar with each other. If nothing unexpected happened, this palace would be hers in the future, and Yue Yan and Zhang De would still be her staff.

"My lady has been promoted to a higher position. You can have four maids, three eunuchs and an errand boy. The servants are fully equipped. Please take a look, my lady."

Zhang De clapped his hands, and several young palace maids and eunuchs knelt in front of her. They all looked quite young and calm. On the contrary, those around Xia Dongchun looked a little immature.

Seeing these must have a source, Xia Dongchun looked at Zhang De and asked with a smile: "Father-in-law, I don't understand these, can you help introduce them to me?"

Zhang De naturally had no objection. He introduced them to Xia Dongchun one by one and then said with a smile: "Which one do you like, young lady? Don't worry, they were all sent by the emperor and they are very efficient."

Xia Dongchun already had two palace maids and a eunuch, so she picked out two palace maids who looked calm and honest, and kept two fair-looking eunuchs. To run errands, she hired an extremely ordinary little eunuch, who was not very recognizable, but not ugly either.

Zhang De knew the young lady's character at a glance. Seeing that she had already made her selection, he took the rest of the people out.

Looking at the people kneeling in front of her, Xia Dongchun finally said a few words, "No matter who you are in my palace, I only look at loyalty. There is no place for those who betray their master and are ungrateful. Do you remember this?"

The taller one of the two palace maids with an oval face is called Qiuyue, while the shorter one with a round face, although small in appearance, looks very capable and talented, and her name is Qiuxia.

One of the eunuchs was called Xiaoluzi, one was called Xiaohuzi, and the eunuch who ran errands was called Xiaodezi.

"I will serve you wholeheartedly!"

The five men knelt in front of Xia Dongchun to show their loyalty. Nothing could be seen at the moment, but since they had been slapped in the face, they had to be rewarded with something sweet. Xia Dongchun rewarded each of them with five taels of silver, which was much higher than their monthly salary.

"Do your job well, it's your fault. You guys go out, Chunlan, help me to rest for a while."

Xia Dongchun was really sleepy. He was so sleepy the day before yesterday that she thought Yinzhen couldn't do it last night. Who would have thought that he would be so sleepy for nearly two hours again.

As a result, they woke her up early this morning and she couldn't sleep well.

Chunlan knew how favored her mistress was, so she quickly helped her to change her clothes into pajamas and then helped her to bed to rest.

Chunhong reflected for a long time and finally became less impulsive. Now she is putting things away outside.

After Chunlan came out, she asked Chunhong to keep an eye on her master, and she also wanted to go downstairs to rest for a while.

In summer, winter and spring, people would sleep until lunch time. In the Qing Dynasty, lunch was mostly in the afternoon, and there were only two meals a day. In the evening, people usually just had some snacks to get by.

However, Xia Dongchun was greedy and was not used to eating only two meals a day. She liked three meals a day, and usually asked someone to make her a bowl of noodles at night.

"My lady has woken up. The emperor came to see you just now, but he couldn't bear to wake you up because you were resting, so he ordered us to come to Chengqian Palace tonight." Chunhong helped her get up and put on her makeup. Xia Dongchun didn't react when she woke up.

She closed her eyes and waited for someone to comb her hair and put on makeup before asking, "When did the emperor come?"

"I came near lunch time. I wanted to call you, but the emperor told you to sleep more. It shows that the emperor dotes on you."

Chunhong's face was full of joy. Xia Dongchun shook her head and said, "Who knows what the emperor is thinking? Serve the meal."

"Hey, slave, let's go right away."

Xia Dongchun lay lazily on the couch, feeling sore all over. Chunlan came over and kneaded her for a while before saying, "My lady, you have been tired all day. Just now, Aunt Yueyan said that the new palace maid Qiuxia knows how to massage. Why not let her help you tonight?"

Xia Dongchun closed his eyes and nodded, "Okay, you and Chunhong should be careful. Even though they are sent by the Emperor, you still have to be careful not to let anyone sneak in."

"Tell me, I will be careful."
