When Gu Ningzhi first entered the palace, things didn't go well.

Originally, when a newcomer enters the palace, it is somewhat new.

Among other things, the palace people had to serve ten more people.

Not to mention, what kind of waves will these new entrants cause in the harem.

Liang Wu, the eunuch of the Acupuncture Bureau, was gearing up and preparing to do a big job.

Before, he missed the opportunity to please the "beauty of Yonggan Palace", so that the imperial prisoner could please him.It is said that the "beauties" love the things they made, and they play with them every day, but recently, His Majesty gave orders to make bigger and more exquisite ones.

The old man Bing of the imperial prison was busy working happily these days without touching the ground, and the eunuchs who came out of the imperial prison could lift their heads for a long time.

Liang Wu went to visit him several times in the past few days, and he didn't intend to ask for any benefits. He just wanted to take care of some small knitting work, so that he could show his face in front of the little master.

But the old man Bing was a foodie, he ignored him, and even shut him down a few times.

Liang Wu felt resentful in his heart, so he could only find other ways.

This time newcomers entered the palace, Liang Wuben thought to start with these people.

Anyway, for these newcomers, the capital does not need to be too much, and as long as one of them is favored, he will be able to ascend to heaven.

But who would have thought that on the day the newcomer entered the palace, something happened in the Palace of Lizheng.

After thinking about it, Liang Wulue immediately dropped other tasks in his hands and hurriedly made a small coat.Even the queen's order to make clothes for the newcomer was thrown aside by him.

Although the little master entered the palace, His Majesty asked them to make several boxes of small clothes at the sewing bureau.

It's nice to tip the clothes, seeing that the little master is so noisy, if you don't change seven or eight sets a day, I'm afraid you won't look clean.

Although in this palace, there is no order from above, their needlework bureau only needs to make clothes according to the regulations of the ladies throughout the year.

But this does not delay the filial piety of the people below!

So on this matter, Liang Wupo spent some effort.

There are imperial atlases in the palace, which are all techniques accumulated for hundreds of years, and even the things from the previous dynasty and the previous dynasty are not spared.

Coupled with several generations of folk collections, and the best painters and craftsmen who are constantly iterating.

For these small clothes, Liang Wu could say that he had worked hard.

As a result, the low-ranking concubines in the palace recently suffered disaster.

New clothes for each season in the palace are not issued at the same time at regular intervals.Otherwise, in the needlework bureau, you will be really busy when you are busy, and you will be dead when you are idle.

For those who are favored, at the beginning of one season, I am afraid that they have already got the next season's pattern in their hands.Not to mention some good clothing materials that I get from time to time, if I take them to the sewing bureau, they can be made immediately.

And those who are not favored, if they are lucky, they can still get one or two new clothes after ten or twenty days after the start of the season.With bad luck, at the end of this season, she may not be able to pick her up.

At this time, if one wears the old clothes of the previous year to attend the palace banquet, one will lose one's life.

In this way, those concubines can only cross the sea with eight immortals, each according to his own ability.

It's just that now, His Majesty doesn't like to enter the harem, and the old man is more or less bearish about it.

But those newcomers panicked all of a sudden.

Gu Ningzhi never expected that she would be favored as soon as she entered the palace, but she also never thought that the first difficult thing after entering the palace was that she had no clothes to wear.

Her family background is not low, and she can bring a burden and two maids who have been raped when entering the palace.

However, there are strict rules in the palace, she dare not wear the clothes she brought from home easily, if she breaks any rules, she just waits for the clothes from the sewing bureau to wear.

In your own yard, you can live your life behind closed doors, and you can wear whatever you want.And when you go out to a banquet, you don't feel timid when you wear the clothes made by the palace.

But who knows, the time for the Empress's first banquet is approaching, but the sewing bureau has not even sent a needle or thread.

On this day, Ling Dang, the maid that Gu Ningzhi brought into the palace, went to the Needlework Bureau again to urge her, but was ruthlessly pushed back.

"I just told you that it will take a few more days, and you are being urged one after another, do you want us to put down the clothes of the nobleman and come to your house first?

"I don't even look at how big my face is, I have never seen His Majesty's face, so I think I am the empress of the palace!"

The eunuch in charge didn't even bother to show his face, a fat lady in charge said sarcastically.

Another tall embroiderer who was in charge next to her was leading someone past with a few stacks of blueprints, and said with a smile, "I'm in a hurry to eat hot tofu, so I'm not afraid of burning my mouth!"

Fat Xiu Niang showed disdain on her face, and her mouth became more and more mean: "When we came in back then, we were never so unruly. It's true that all kinds of rascals can enter the palace—"

On the surface, it was Ling Dang who said this, but it was Gu Ningzhi who was sarcastic secretly.

Those words hit the surface of the bell, like needles pricking it one by one, making her face flush immediately.

Originally, she was able to take these words seriously, but it happened to hit the thoughts in her heart, which made her so ashamed and angry.

They were anxious about this batch of clothes because Her Majesty would definitely be invited to the Queen's first palace banquet.

Their girls are beautiful and have an outstanding temperament. If they are in front of His Majesty, the chances of being favored are still very high.

Although every woman in the palace would not want to go to the dragon couch, but there are a few women who have not left the court who can not be ashamed and angry when they are pointed at their noses like this.

But the fat manager ignored her, and turned to look at the tall embroiderer with a flattering expression, "Sister Guan, are these the new batch of blueprints? Is there a younger sister who can help? My sister has thick hands, my little master." Don't dare to touch those expensive clothes, but the soles are just right!"

The tall embroiderer happily said: "Yes, the last batch of your Yuyang buttons won the favor of the little master, and I don't dare to let you wear the soles of your shoes again, hurry up and get some more buttons!"

"Hey!" The fat steward immediately burst into laughter when he heard the words, and hurriedly followed the other party's buttocks away.

Ling Dang could only wipe away her tears, turned around and went back.

She knew the little master that the embroidered lady was talking about.

Not only she knows, but her daughter knows, her master, wife and even the ancestors also know.

It is said that it is a toy raised by His Majesty, who is so spoiled that he always takes it with him when going to court.

But she originally thought that it was just a little thing like a cat or a dog.Just like the canary raised by their ancestors, the ancestors pet them, and they have to feed them themselves when they eat.

But when the ladies go up, they can also tease them at will.If there are some good things, the ancestors will also hold on to a few grandchildren first.

It was windy and snowing, and the ancestors even sent people to each house to ask. As for where the little bird was, no one really cared except the little maid who took care of it.

But now, right and wrong are turned upside down in this world, putting the cart before the horse.A villain made of straw, the servants of the whole palace only revolve around it, and praise it as a little ancestor, it is more precious than anyone else.

Ling Dang was indignant, but she didn't dare to say more after she went back.

Knowing that she suffered another defeat at the acupuncture bureau, Gu Ningzhi was not angry.

Tomorrow is the queen's palace banquet, and she knew that she might not be able to wait for the clothes of the sewing bureau.

So she said: "Change the lake blue brocade shirt I brought, and wear it tomorrow!"

Linglong, who was two years older than Lingdang, heard the words and hurriedly acted.

There are big rules and small rules for the clothes in the palace.

The big rule is materials, welts, and inlays that cannot be surpassed according to grades.The clothes they brought in would not violate this rule.

And there are more small rules.For example, this empress likes to wear purple, so it's best to avoid it at palace banquets.

For example, that empress loves big sleeves the most. If your sleeves are bigger than hers, you may have something good to eat later.

There are so many such rules, and only by entering the palace and asking around, can we not make mistakes.

These are the things Linglong did during her time in the palace.

After a lot of inquiring, I finally finished the clothes before the palace banquet the next day.

Linglong was cautious, and put on a brown gauze dress over the lake blue brocade shirt.Brown looks old, and most ladies don't like to wear it, so it's not easy to offend others.

Gu Ningzhi's demeanor was calm and condensed. After she put it on, there was a slight lake blue in the brown gauze, but it just set her off.

Linglong looked very satisfied.

Seeing her cautious look, Gu Ningzhi couldn't help smiling, but she didn't care.

She didn't take these things seriously at first.

She thought she would see the man anyway.

Not this time, it will be next time.

After leaving the door, on the palace road outside, probably for celebration, the soil under the flowers and trees was covered with silks of various colors, Linglong couldn't help but be speechless when she saw it.

This kind of light and thin satin is Susit's yarn silk, and in the Gu family, the ancestors and the people in the big house can wear such a shirt in summer.

But now it is spread under the feet like this, which is not as good as the cheapest coarse cloth among the people.

Gu Ningzhi also noticed this, but her mind was not here.

At this time, she was walking on the palace road, looking at the flowers and plants along the way, but felt that under the night, it seemed to have changed from the past.

She looked down at her feet, and the embroidered shoes inlaid with pearls were looming under the skirt, which was very seductive against the moonlight.

Gu Ningzhi took a closer look, only to find that one of the pearls seemed to be sewn a bit off, and then she paused her footsteps.

"—Little Master?" Linglong followed Gu Ningzhi's gaze to look at her feet with some doubts, but found nothing.

Seeing the expression on Linglong's face, Gu Ningzhi took a deep breath, shook her head at Linglong, "It's nothing."

Then she walked forward as if nothing had happened, but her mood was no longer as relaxed as before.

She is nervous.

Yes, she found herself nervous.

That's why I observe the scenery that I haven't noticed before, and I also care about the details of my body.

Linglong needlework is excellent, if there is a problem with the pearl, it is absolutely impossible not to see it.

Gu Ningzhi let out a breath quietly, but subconsciously clenched her hands in front of her body.

She straightened her chest and raised her eyes to look forward.

The man she had been waiting for for five years was in that brightly lit palace.

And today, she was finally able to stand in front of him——

However, on this day, Gu Ningzhi failed to enter the Taiping Palace after all.

Just at the gate of the hall, they were stopped by someone.

"It's against the rules." Said the nanny who was guarding outside the hall.

Ling Dang was so anxious that she was on the verge of tears, "Our master's clothes are all reformed, and they are all in good shape. Sister, please do me a favor and take another look!"

"Hmph, you don't have eyes!" Another nun said displeasedly, "On a big day, you dare to find bad luck for the nobles here!"

Bell immediately woke up, quickly wiped his eyes red with his sleeve, and tried his best to hold back the tears.

Linglong hurried up to put the money in the hand of the nanny, the nanny put the things away without changing her expression, but still said with a cold face: "My lord, don't make things difficult for your slaves. If you want to meet your majesty, there will be opportunities in the future, but you won't be able to." Displease the nobleman at this time."

Linglong was anxious. Before she entered the palace, Madam Cao invited her to teach her to teach her that everything in the palace now depends on His Majesty's preferences, and there is absolutely no such thing as rain and dew.

There are many masters in the palace who entered the palace in the year of His Majesty's wedding, and how many of them have never seen His Majesty's face until now.

Therefore, any opportunity to meet His Majesty is very precious and must not be missed - because once missed, it may be a lifetime.

But who would have thought that their first and only sure chance would be lost like this?

Linglong is not reconciled, even if she dies, she will die with understanding!

She stuffed the entire purse in her sleeve into the hands of the leading nanny, "Good nanny, our girl is new here and doesn't know how to behave. Please teach me a lot, so that we can avoid taboos in the future."

The nun put the purse in her sleeve and turned it upside down, and then she showed a gentle look on her face, "You have just entered the palace, but you should inquire more about the nobles. Who is the most favored in our palace now, you Do you know?"

Linglong cheered, "When we were at home, we heard that His Majesty respects the Empress Empress the most, and that Concubine Shu is always favored."

The nanny curled her lips mockingly, "Your Majesty hasn't stepped into Xunfang Palace for quite some time."

After a pause, she said in a low voice: "Concubine Shu's younger sister, Concubine Wan, is still doing laundry in Yeting! Do you know why?"

Linglong's complexion changed, "No one in the family has ever mentioned this on weekdays, so please ask the nanny for advice!"

The nanny sneered softly, and raised her chin towards the east where the Yonggan Hall is located, "Although that person has nothing to do with 'people', none of them have a good end with that person who robbed people. The day before yesterday There is a dancer here who has just been skinned and thrown into Wanzang Mountain alive, you should be vigilant."

Linglong was terrified when she heard this, her face turned pale.

Seeing this, the nanny no longer kept her secrets, and whispered something in her ear.

Knowing the reason behind this time, Linglong thanked the nanny, and quickly caught up with Gu Ningzhi who had already walked back.

Gu Ningzhi walked under the flower tree with no joy or anger on her face.The dim light of the lantern above her head reflected on her face, but made her more jade-like.

As she walked further and further away, the lights seemed to gradually move away, but the road in front of her was a bit dark and unclear.

It's just that Sizhu's laughter still lingers behind her, but she can hear Linglong softly talking about the absurd things about some puppets who were jealous and hurt others.

Linglong went on to say: "Today it is said that the Witch Gu doll fell down on the dirt in the garden and got angry with everything related to brown. That's why the palace hastily asked people to put colored silk on the dirt and the brown pillars, For fear of blocking its eyes—”

After Linglong finished speaking, she closed her mouth and looked at Gu Ningzhi's tightly pursed lips in distress.

The bell next to him looked displeased, but looked at the master's face, but dared not say a word.

The other palace people were even more afraid to strike up a conversation.

A group of people walked quietly, and after a long while, Gu Ningzhi suddenly laughed softly when the sound of silk and bamboo behind her could hardly be heard.

Linglong quietly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the girl had let go of this matter in her heart.

But when she saw the face of the master at this time, she was suddenly startled again, and she hurriedly lowered her head and gritted her teeth in fright, not daring to speak again.
