Chapter 2 Seeing Concubine Virtue

There is a favored Li Gege in the house, and he has a son and a daughter. Sooner or later, he will be a lucky man.

Such people and his direct descendant Fujin are natural enemies.

As long as you show your humility and respect, win over your direct descendant Fujin, and don't give other people the chance to rise to the top, then take your time in the future.

The smile on Sifujin's face became more genuine, "Sister, you really have a good personality. If you need anything in the future, just tell me."

"Thank you Fujin." Nichuhe smiled and thanked him.

Si Fujin stood up holding his mother's hand and said, "Let's go into the palace now. Don't keep E Niang waiting."

Nichuhe stood up and followed Sifujin out of the house.

When they arrived outside the mansion, Si Fujin invited her to get into the carriage in front. There was only a maid in purple waiting in the carriage. Ni Chuhe's maid Dengmei and the nanny beside Si Fujin were all in the carriage behind.

Si Fujin took Ni Chuhe's hand, patted it gently, and whispered softly, "My sister is entering the palace to see the empress for the first time. Don't be nervous. The empress is kind-hearted and she will definitely like my sister."

"Yes, I can spare my concubine." Ni Chuhe said respectfully.

After getting off the carriage outside the palace gate, he stepped on the bottom of the flower pot and followed his descendant Fujin through Shenwu Gate, passed through Shunzhen Gate and the Imperial Garden, and headed to the East Sixth Palace.

In the past few years, she rarely wore flowerpot bottoms at home. Now she is really not used to wearing them. What's more, Yonghe Palace is so far away that her feet hurt when she walks, so she can only endure it.

Seeing that the direct descendant Fujin in front was walking steadily, Ni Chuhe really admired him.

Fortunately, there is no need to go to greet the emperor. The Queen Mother worships Buddha all the year round and likes to be quiet, so there is no need to go. Otherwise, I really don’t know if she can persist.

When they arrived at the Yonghe Palace, a young palace maid who was guarding outside the palace went in first to report. After a while, a slightly older and well-dressed palace maid came out and invited them in, "Sifu Jin, side Fujin, please come in."

Arriving at the main hall of Yonghe Palace, Concubine De was sitting on the cushions of a large chair in the bright room. She was wearing a purple uniform, her hair was combed, her temperament was dignified and her face was kind.

Sitting in the first place on the left side of her lower body was a concubine who seemed to be of a lower rank. She was not young yet and had a gentler temperament.

"My daughter-in-law wishes my mother-in-law my regards, and my concubine my regards."

"I would like to pay my regards to the Concubine De, and I would like to pay my regards to the concubine."

Ni Chuhe followed his direct descendant Fujin to greet him, and then he realized that the lower-ranking one was the concubine Ding.

Although Xi Fujin is also a serious daughter-in-law who has been awarded the imperial certificate, she still cannot call her E Niang when facing Concubine De, she can only call her empress.

Concubine De raised her hand and said with a smile: "Get up and sit down."

"Thank you, Lady De Fei." Si Fujin and Ni Chu He thanked each other and sat on the rose chairs on the right. Si Fujin naturally sat in front of Ni Chu He.

During the draft, Nichukhe saw De Concubine, but Nichukhe was a show girl at the time and could not raise her head. This was the first time she saw De Concubine's face clearly.

Now that Ni Chuhe is the son of Concubine De, he is really worried that Concubine De will make things difficult for him.

Fortunately, Concubine De just told her to serve Si Beile well and behave herself. She was also rewarded with a set of hair and face and two bolts of silk, which were held by Aunt Zhong next to Si Fujin.

Then Concubine De ignored her and started talking to Sifujin. She asked her how Honghui and Hongfang were doing, and Sifujin answered them one by one with a smile.

Honghui was born to Fujin and was the eldest son of the fourth master. Hongfang was born to Li Gege and was also raised by the fourth master.

Judging from what they said, the two children were still very young. Hongfang was not yet one year old and would be one next month. Concubine De asked Sifujin to prepare well and not let the children suffer.

It seems that the second elder brother Hongfang is not in good health, so Concubine De is very worried.

But after sitting for a while, Si Fujin stood up and left.

Seeing the two people leaving the palace, Concubine Ding smiled softly and said: "Fu Jin looks so handsome on this side. He is also well-behaved and docile. Your Majesty is so lucky."

Concubine De rubbed her forehead and sighed: "I didn't expect that the emperor would give such a person to the fourth child. He seems to have a good appearance and temperament, but because of his status... I am afraid of wronging the fourth daughter-in-law."

Concubine Ding smiled and said, "What are you talking about? Even though she, Amma, is a co-leader of the third rank and comes from a wealthy family with the surname of Shangsan Banner, she is not in the capital after all. What can she do to hinder her? The concubine looks at the emperor and feels sorry for her. Master, I just pointed out that this is a good marriage. Besides, it is better than entering the palace."

Concubine De's brows moved and she said with a smile: "That's true, that's all. The matter is over. I hope that the fourth son's backyard can be more stable and that I can worry less."

Concubine Ding said: "You still don't know about the fourth master? The fourth master is always the most reassuring. Si Fujin is also a virtuous and sensible man, and he will definitely be able to live in harmony with his wife and concubines."

Concubine De smiled and said: "I accept your good advice."

The journey was very peaceful. When we returned to the house, the fourth master was also back and was in the study.

Because Fujin came in from the side, the emperor gave him a day off. He only went to the palace to answer questions and then came back.

Sifujin returned to the main courtyard, and Nichuhe also said goodbye and returned to his own courtyard.

After walking in the palace for such a long time, Nichuhe's feet were tired and his stomach was hungry. It happened to be breakfast time.

There are only two meals at this time. According to the rules of the house, breakfast is around Sishi, which is between nine and eleven in the morning, and dinner is around Youshi, which is between five and seven in the afternoon.

Of course, it’s a bit difficult to only eat two meals a day. If you are hungry at other times, there are various snacks, that is, breakfast and late night snacks.

The second-class maid Wufu went to the dining room to get the breakfast. When the meal was served, Ni Chuhe's mouth watered when he saw it.

After all, she only had some breakfast before saying hello. It had been half a day now, so she was naturally very hungry.

Fish slices, three fresh meatballs, assorted tofu, vegetarian stir-fried cowpeas, cold lettuce, tofu mixed with green onions, the main dish is a plate of golden pastry, and a portion of crucian carp tofu soup.

With his stomach full, Ni Chuhe took a nap for a while and woke up at 3:45 p.m.

Sitting on a chair in the open room, the maids, servants and eunuchs in her courtyard came to greet her.

Since morning until now, she has not had time to get to know the servants in the yard. This time Ni Chuhe glanced around and saw that in addition to the two big maids beside her, Xique and Dengmei, there were also four little maids, two needleworkers, and two A nun and four eunuchs.

The maids from Ni Chuhe's family are not allowed to be brought in.

The four little maids were named Xiaolan, Xiaoru, Cui'er, and Dingxiang. Nichuhe thought their names were too common, so he changed their names.

The four little maids are all twelve or thirteen years old. Dingxiang is still called Dingxiang. The other three little maids have been changed to Magnolia, Ruixue, and Wufu respectively. From now on, they will be the second-class maids in her courtyard.

The four eunuchs were named Chen Lu, He Qing, Liu Ting and Shi Zhu'er. They were all eight or nine years old, and they were simply child laborers.

Except for He Qing who changed why You Qing changed, Ni Chuhe did not change the others. They were all responsible for looking after the yard, running errands and doing menial work.
