In the afternoon, Xiuning and the others, having rested briefly, went out on time.
After dressing up, Yiergenjueluo Yiyun left directly with the palace maids from Cining Palace, while the remaining four, including Xiuning, continued to follow the crowd to the main hall of Chuxiu Palace to learn the rules they needed to learn.
"Oh, I never expected that among us, the first one to be summoned by the Empress Dowager would be Sister Yiyun."
The Irgen Gioro clan is truly powerful; we are far beyond their reach.
Shu Mulu Yixuan resumed her usual sarcastic and sarcastic remarks.
Xiuning and the others were already used to this.
He completely ignored Shu Mulu Yixuan's provocative remarks, acting as if he would accept whatever she said and admit defeat.
Only Guarjia Yuxi, who has some connection with Shumulu Yixuan, would occasionally respond with a few words, but the content was mostly nonsense and had no effect whatsoever.
"Speaking of which, why did the Empress Dowager summon Sister Yiyun?"
I heard Qiu'er and the others say that none of the Mongol bannermen girls from the neighboring Xianfu Palace were able to see the Empress Dowager.
Seeing that no one was responding, Shu Mulu Yixuan's eyes darted around and she started talking about other things.
Sure enough, as soon as she said this, Dong E Jingxin looked at her, in addition to Xiu Ning.
"Sister Yixuan must have misheard. The young ladies of the Mongol Banner are all of Mongol origin, and most of them are daughters of princes or dukes."
Why hasn't the Empress Dowager summoned him?
Dong E Jingxin thought Shu Mu Lu Yixuan was talking nonsense. Even if the Empress Dowager didn't summon her, she wouldn't ignore it.
Although there are now concubines from the Mongol Banner in the imperial harem, their presence is not very significant.
How could the various Mongol tribes not strive for better development? Before she entered the palace for the second round of selection, her father frankly told her that the Mongol banner women were much more beautiful than before.
"Well, I don't know."
After Shumulu Yixuan finished speaking, she nodded towards Guarjia Yuxi's direction, "I didn't lie to my sister, Yuxi also heard what Qiu'er said."
Qiu'er was a palace maid assigned to serve them, and she was also the leader of the group of five.
Guarjia Yuxi hesitated slightly before nodding, "I only heard the second half of the sentence, but the general meaning is correct. I think Sister Yixuan wouldn't lie to us."
Hmm, Guarjia Yuxi's words have some merit.
Unlike Dong E Jingxin, Xiu Ning didn't seem to trust them as much; she kept an eye on them out of the corner of her eye.
Based on Shu Mulu Yixuan's attitude towards her, she could only believe half of what this person said, whether it was true or false.
"Could it be that the Empress Dowager is favoring the candidates from our Manchu Banner Army this time?"
Dong E Jingxin suddenly smiled, her whole being becoming excited.
That's great! It will greatly increase her chances of being selected to enter the palace.
"Shh, Sister Jingxin, don't talk nonsense."
Shu Mulu Yixuan quickly gestured with her hand to her lips, then smiled and pointed to the main hall in front of them, "I imagine it won't be long before the Empress Dowager summons us."
"We should dress up nicely and make a good impression on the Empress Dowager."
Dong E Jingxin agreed wholeheartedly, "That's right, Sister Yixuan is indeed incredibly intelligent."
Shu Mulu Yixuan blushed and said, "Sister Jingxin, you flatter me."
"..."
The four of them entered the main hall chatting and laughing, unaware that a figure had quietly slipped past them not far behind, without disturbing any of them.
...
Time always flies when you're learning the rules.
Because of the previous incident where Irgen Gioro Yiyun was summoned to meet the Empress Dowager, Xiuning and the others were very curious about what Irgen Gioro Yiyun had gone through.
After leaving the main hall, they all returned to their rooms in tacit agreement, and the four of them immediately knocked on the door of Yiergenjueluo Yiyun's room.
Come in quickly.
Yiergenjueluo Yiyun was not surprised at all and smiled as she invited the four of them in.
The small room was crammed full of five people, but none of them complained.
"Sister Yiyun, tell me quickly, what did the Empress Dowager say to you?" Dong E Jingxin asked, and Shu Mu Lu Yixuan chimed in, "Yes, Sister Yiyun, we were all very worried about you when we were learning the rules in the main hall today. The Empress Dowager is very dignified. Are you alright?"
Irgen Gioro Yiyun shook her head. "It's nothing."
Today, the Empress Dowager summoned not only me, but also several other Manchu banner ladies.
Everyone chatted briefly in the Cining Palace, during which the Empress Dowager also visited.
After hearing this, Dong E Jingxin covered her mouth and asked, "The Empress Dowager went too?"
That's terrifying, the two powerful figures in the harem are truly formidable.
“The Empress Dowager is a kind person,” Yiyun smiled. “We briefly talked about our daily life at home.”
Then the Empress Dowager grew tired and went to worship Buddha, so we were led back by the palace servants.
With her hands outstretched, Yiyun glanced at the four people with their varying expressions, clearly indicating that she had said everything she needed to say.
Seeing this, Xiuning said goodbye.
"Sister Yiyun, could you reveal more about the daily life at home that the Empress Dowager asked about?"
Dong Ejingxin chuckled awkwardly, clearly embarrassed because she was too shy.
Yiyun, on the other hand, simply put down her half-finished tea and said, "Hmm, some books that we often read at home."
Her talents, such as playing musical instruments, calligraphy, painting, needlework, and housekeeping, were all praised by the Empress Dowager.
"Is that so?" Dong E Jingxin was surprised and then overjoyed, her eyes filled with gratitude towards Yiyun. This was tantamount to revealing the test question in advance.
“It’s fate that we live together,” Yiyun said, getting up to see the four of them out. “Go back and prepare well; you’ll definitely be even better prepared than I was this time.”
