Chapter 216
Chapter 216
Now she is no longer the late emperor's harem, and Yue's agreement is naturally not worthy of the empress dowager's further attention.
Of course, there is no need to deal with sterilization so easily.
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
There was a joyful atmosphere in Shoukang Palace, but Changchun Palace was dead.
Concubine Min was not feeling well, so she lay down on the bed as soon as she returned to the palace.
Chu Ruohan's face was full of confusion.
What is it about Yue's background that warrants the Empress Dowager's attention?
Why were all the concubines in the palace not seen, and only she was summoned?
He tapped his nails on the table twice and said, "Bi Rou, is Yue Da Ying really just from a poor family?"
"My lady, I spent twenty taels of silver to get this information from the eunuch who welcomed you into the palace the day you entered. It shouldn't be false. Besides, Yue Yingying doesn't even have a personal maid at home, so how can he be from a good family?"
Chu Ruohan was also confused.
She really couldn't understand why the Queen Mother summoned the other party today.
Birou didn't want Chu Ruohan to focus on this and waste time.
His eyes shifted slightly, and then he continued, "My lady, the Empress said that your green card is already prepared. It doesn't matter what your wife agrees to. We should prepare early and wait for the Emperor's summons, right?"
Chu Ruohan shook her head. "No one like Concubine Yi is from a noble family. There's no way the Emperor would have chosen me on the first day. We just have to wait and see. There's no need to be so anxious."
After saying this, Chu Ruohan fell into deep thought again and remained silent for a long time.
...
When a new bride enters the palace, Qingying doesn't bother to know where the plaque will land on the first day.
He only ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs not to neglect it.
Liang Jinrui arrived half an hour earlier than usual and led his men to the gate of the Yangxin Palace.
"Eunuch Li."
Li Yu is humble and doesn't put on airs.
"Eunuch Liang came early today."
"Eunuch Li is right. The Empress has ordered that today be the new young lady's first day in the emperor's service, so she specifically asked me to come early."
Li Yu smiled and extended his hand, saying, "Your Majesty is free right now. Please, Eunuch Liang."
Liang Jinrui walked in with a silver tray in his hand and knelt before Hongli. "Your Majesty, please turn over the card."
Hongli turned his head and took a look at the silver plate handed to him. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he raised his hand and flipped over a card.
Liang Jinrui bowed and left.
After leaving the room, Li Yu stepped forward again with a smile, "I wonder which new young lady has received this first day of grace?"
Liang Jinrui raised the silver tray slightly to indicate, then said with a smile, "Noble Lady Zhao is favored by the Emperor and was given a good title early on. She was chosen again today. I think she has caught the Emperor's eye."
Liang Jinrui's words made Li Yu's eyes flash with a hint of amusement.
Is the person in front of me really so stupid to talk about the young lady in private?
Or do you want to show closeness to yourself?
He didn't show anything, just smiled and said, "I see, then Eunuch Liang should go and pass on the order quickly."
After a few pleasantries, Liang Jinrui turned and left.
However, he did not return to the Jingshifang directly, but handed the silver tray to the young disciple beside him, changed his way halfway, and headed towards the Yiku Palace.
This means he has to come in person to report to Concubine Zhao about the selection of the name card.
A young eunuch at the back had his eyes flash and left quietly.
Not long after, outside the east side hall of Yikun Palace, Bai Yin bowed to Liang Jinrui and said, "Eunuch, my young mistress invites you in."
Liang Jinrui followed Bai Yin into the house with a smile.
After walking a few steps to Noble Lady Zhao, Liang Jinrui bent his waist and smiled in a very flattering way.
"I, Liang Jinrui, the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department, pay my respects to the distinguished lady. May the young lady be blessed with good fortune."
Concubine Zhao's expression remained unchanged, and her attitude was neither too close nor too distant.
"It's Eunuch Liang. I wonder what's the important matter that brings you here?"
Liang Jinrui bowed again.
Then he smiled and said, "To answer my lady's question, the Emperor has turned over your name card today, and I have come to inform you. Please prepare early."
"This is the first favor among the newly promoted young ladies. I congratulate you, young lady."
Concubine Zhao looked indifferent.
He didn't show anything in front of Liang Jinrui.
