Chapter 642 They are all miserable people
"In my opinion, once this thing is in her hands, there is no chance of getting it back! She did it on purpose!"
Lin Jiayao's chest heaved violently, and finally calmed down. She sat down with her fists clenched tightly.
Xihua knew that the young lady would have to endure it again.
"My lady! Let's report this to the Queen! Let her punish her!"
They are weak and cannot defeat Shen Xinran, so let someone more powerful punish her!
But Lin Jiayao disagreed. "I have only been in the palace for less than three hours, and I am already speaking ill of my sisters in the same palace. How do you want the queen to think of me?"
She felt that Xihua was too angry, always thinking about resistance, but not thinking about how difficult her situation was. Her tone became impatient, "It's better to have less trouble than more. It's just some jewelry and cloth. Just give it to her."
Xihua was disappointed, "Is this a question of how much stuff you have?"
"Alright!" Lin Jiayao's anger completely exploded, "Stop talking!"
Xihua had no choice but to shut up.
On the other side, in Lingxi Palace, the atmosphere was joyous. If setting off firecrackers was not prohibited in the palace, Yang Zhitao really wanted to celebrate properly.
"Narcissus, take the herbal pillow I brought from home. I want to give it to Sister Qiu." Yang Zhitao stepped out of the door of Qingli Pavilion and almost forgot such an important matter.
Narcissus responded, turned around and searched in the box, and soon found it.
Yang Zhitao met Qiu Minjing in Dongzhimen. After asking, he found out that they both lived in the same place, and Qiu Minjing was given the title of Changzai, the highest position among these concubines.
There was another beautiful lady named Ma who was also given the title of a concubine, but Yang Zhitao did not know her.
Although she was beautiful, she was second only to Chang Zai.
The two returned to Lingxi Palace together, and each went back to their bedroom to pack their luggage. As soon as Yang Zhitao had a good rest, he went to find Qiu Minjing.
Narcissus followed her holding a straw pillow, and after walking a hundred steps or so they arrived at Qingya Pavilion.
When Yang Zhitao entered the room, Qiu Minjing was delighted. She put down the things in her hands and smiled as she took her hand. "Sister Yang, are you settled?"
"The palace servants have sorted out those things. I was bored, so I came to see Sister Qiu." Yang Zhitao waved her hand and asked Shuixian to bring the pillow forward. "This is a herbal pillow that my father asked someone to buy from a Western merchant at a high price. It helps with sleeping. I used it at home for a few days and found it very good, so I brought it to give to Sister."
How could Qiu Minjing dare to accept such an expensive gift, but Yang Zhitao was determined to stay, so she couldn't refuse.
The gifts from the Queen were placed on the table. Yang Zhitao looked at them and found that except for a few hairpins with different styles, the others were the same. He could not help but be surprised, "The Queen treats us all equally? My father gave gifts according to the rank of the officials. I didn't expect..."
"Hey!" Qiu Minjing interrupted her quickly, "Don't say that nonsense."
Yang Zhitao stuck out her tongue and made a naughty face.
Seeing that there was nothing she could help with here, Qiu Minjing decided to go with Yang Zhitao to visit the queen and express her gratitude.
Zhongling Palace.
Nian Susu was half leaning on the toffee chair, sipping tea and listening to the eunuch's report.
"In total, we sent out ninety-six pieces of blue gauze wings, seventy-two pieces of brocade forging, forty-eight pieces of embroidery forging, ninety-six silver hairpins, seventy-two step-shaking ornaments, twenty-four gold hairpins, as well as a number of earrings and bracelets."
"Yes." Nian Susu nodded with satisfaction, "Have you checked whether there are any concubines who have been missed?"
If anyone below accidentally missed her, she would definitely be hated, and she didn't want to make enemies on the first day.
The eunuch said, "Your Majesty, we have already checked in every palace according to the list, and no one has been left out."
"Go down." Nian Susu put down the teacup and breathed a sigh of relief. After delivering the gift, he had basically completed the task.
The eunuch came back, and Nian Susu was so scared that his heart was in his throat, thinking: There really is no leak! God, please don't play tricks on me!
If I met An Lingrong, I would have to think more.
When she was terrified, the eunuch said that Qiu Changzai and Yang Meiren were coming to visit.
Nian Susu quickly asked him to invite the person in. The palace maid made three cups of tea and brought new cakes.
Qiu Minjing had been to Zhongling Palace once and witnessed the splendor and magnificence of the palace, so she remained calm. Yang Zhitao was different. He admired it all the way from the door to the outer room.
"Wow, the Queen's bedroom is so huge!"
"Wow, that's inlaid with gold!"
"Wow, you can actually carve such a vivid dragon and phoenix!"
……
Nian Susu sat at the tea table, smiling and waiting for the two to arrive.
Yang Zhitao's jaw dropped with shock and he saluted under Qiu Minjing's guidance.
"Please take a seat. We are all sisters. There are no outsiders here. Please don't be polite."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yang Zhitao was not polite at all after hearing this. He ran to the stool, sat down and started eating cakes.
Qiu Minjing smiled and took a seat.
"How is it? Are you adapting? You haven't encountered any trouble, right?" Nian Susu asked with concern.
It is normal to feel depressed and insecure when arriving in an unfamiliar environment for the first time. She can understand this and wants to do her best to comfort them.
Once you enter the palace, you will have a miserable life.
Yang Zhitao stuffed her cheeks like a ball and said vaguely, "No, no, I am very happy living with Sister Qiu. Sister Qiu also gave me a lot of delicious food."
The two men looked at Yang Zhitao and smiled dotingly, treating her like a child in their hearts.
Qiu Minjing's smile faded. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for arranging me and Zhitao to live together. Before entering the palace, I was worried that sisters living in the same palace would have trouble getting along with each other, but I didn't expect that my worries were unnecessary."
"Me too, me too!" Yang Zhitao smiled foolishly.
Nian Susu poured her some tea and said, "Eat slowly. Don't choke. No one is going to snatch it from you."
Qiu Minjing was a thoughtful person. She knew that it was her intention to make such arrangements, and she was grateful and Nian Susu was very pleased.
"It's just a small favor. I don't know many of the new concubines in the palace, and I've spoken to even fewer of them. I'll help if I can. If you run into trouble in the future, you can come to me."
Qiu Minjing was very polite and kept a distance in her words and actions. Yang Zhitao was not so particular and treated Nian Susu like an older sister, with no sense of boundaries.
The three of them chatted for a while, and then someone else came to visit.
Qiu Minjing was just hesitating whether to take Yang Zhitao back to the palace, when Nian Susu spoke up, "Please come in, it's a good opportunity for you to get to know each other so that you can take care of each other in the future."
However, when she saw the so-called "Shen Baolin", she was dumbfounded.
Isn’t this the girl who looked at Qiu Minjing with hatred at the Hundred Flowers Banquet that day?
Nian Susu took the lead in looking at Qiu Minjing. Seeing that she looked wary and scrutinizing, he thought that she didn't know this Shen Baolin.
Shen Xinran smiled brightly, "Your Majesty, it's our first meeting, and I brought you a small gift. I hope Your Majesty won't despise it."
