"What about you, young lady?"
"I'm definitely different from her. I'm Shurong, so at least I'm a year or two ahead of her."
Ah Qing fell silent after hearing this.
"Miss, quickly take out your favorite concubine manual and read it. Kill them one by one, and fight them all the way to the concubine and the second lady."
"It's useless to read now. Everything will be in vain before the time comes. Don't be arrogant or impatient, just wait for the opportunity."
The Cangzhu Hall was brightly lit, and people were eating melon seeds, playing mahjong, playing pai gow, and drinking and gambling.
When Gu Yinwei first arrived here, she thought she had entered a gambling house. As long as she didn't kill or set fire to anyone, and didn't leave the gate of Cangzhu Palace, the nanny would not care no matter what she did behind closed doors.
The name of Cangzhu Palace is taken from the term "Pearl Left in the Ocean". The word "left" does not mean lost, but forgotten. It refers to a palace forgotten by the emperor and a group of forgotten young girls.
Most of the maids and palace servants who guard the Cangzhu Palace have no money, no power, and no connections or relationships. After all, those who have a little power would have already paid money to use their connections to escape.
Gu Yinwei adjusted her breathing towards the moon. The moon spirit could no longer enter her body. She had already achieved the level of body refining. If she wanted to go further, she had to absorb the luck of the emperor and empress.
There is no chance to see the emperor in a short time, so it seems that I have to start with the queen.
Seeing Gu Yinwei asking around about the Queen's preferences, Bian Tao reminded her, "Master, you should be asking about the Emperor's preferences right now."
Gu Yinwei said perfunctorily: "I know, I know."
Since she can cultivate immortality, her first priority must be to study cultivation.
It was useless to think about the emperor's preferences. After all, she would not be able to see the emperor for a long time. It would be better for her to absorb more luck by paying her respects to the empress every day.
Chuchu counted the banknotes on her fingers: "Don't worry, sister Biantao, it doesn't matter if the master is not favored. I will give you a monthly salary in the future."
Bian Tao asked, "You pay me a monthly salary, but who pays you yours?"
"I pay myself the monthly salary."
“You’re awesome!”
"Of course not, miss, I still give you monthly allowance."
Bian Tao was speechless.
Chuchu lifted a New Year picture on the wall and showed it to Bian Tao: "I put all the money here, sister Bian Tao, just take it if you need it."
Chuchu never spent the money she earned. She put it in a hole in the wall, pasted a New Year picture on it and sighed, "Oh, no money again."
So she sat in front of the window and learned to read with Gu Yinwei. Gu Yinwei read quietly while she leaned against the window and did embroidery.
Although Bian Tao was a little anxious, she still remained patient. She knew very well that the second young lady could not live in Cangzhu Palace forever, and she was very confident about this.
If you walk from Cangzhu Palace to Qiwu Palace where the Queen lives, it will take an hour and a half to go back and forth. If you ask Wan'an to visit the garden and look at the flowers along the way, it will probably take more than two hours.
As soon as the night watchman sounded, Chuchu and Biantao woke up immediately, and got dressed and washed their faces in one go. Gu Yinwei felt like a piece of dough that they could knead and flatten at will, and was dressed up into strange looks by Chuchu and Biantao according to their aesthetic tastes.
"The rouge on your face is too red and your eyebrows are too thick."
"Don't wipe it off, Master. Your seat is too far back, so you need to put on heavy makeup."
"Okay, since you two put makeup on me so early in the morning, I won't take it off."
Chuchu, Biantao immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Yinwei put on her clothes and tied a cloak.
When they left, the surroundings were quiet, and the doors of the other concubines were tightly closed. Gu Yinwei said, "Don't be so anxious next time. Look, they haven't gotten up yet."
Bian Tao listened attentively, but could not hear a single voice in the huge Cangzhu Palace.
"Oh no, they must have left early. Miss, we must hurry."
Bian Tao pulled Gu Yinwei and ran, "You can't be late for greetings on the first day."
Chuchu also ran behind.
The maid guarding the gate was shocked when she saw Gu Yinwei and her servant leave the house. She said, "Why are you up so late? The greetings will start in a quarter of an hour."
Chuchu was about to cry when she remembered it. Bian Tao glanced into the gatekeeper's room and said, "Master, someone has tampered with the clock in our room."
Gu Yinwei bent down and stuck a speeding talisman on each of her calves. She grabbed Tontao with one hand and Chuchu with the other: "Hold on tight, I'm going to run."
The wind whistled past, and Chuchu and Biantao closed their eyes, feeling like a kite flying in the air, with their feet not even touching the ground.
Gu Yinwei ran along the road with fewer people. Fortunately, Gu Yingxia gave her a simplified version of the harem map yesterday. Gu Yingwei slowed down when she met people and sped up when she avoided them.
Chuchu and Biantao suffered the most. Their heads were almost falling apart. Gu Yinwei hurried all the way and finally did not miss the time to pay her respects.
These women in the harem are all too arrogant. Gu Yinwei can understand if they arrive half an hour early, but arriving an hour early is a bit too much.
The concubines above the rank of concubine lived not far away, just a few steps away. They all got up at the hour of Yin, even though the empress had clearly stipulated that they should pay their respects at the hour of Chen.
There are also the beauties in Cangzhu Palace. They usually look lazy, but in fact they are all actors.
Act badly in public and secretly make money.
At this time, the queen had not finished washing up, and the ladies in the palace were waiting patiently. Gu Yinwei found her seat and sat down. Qi Gengyi, who was not far from her, looked at her several times, as if he didn't know her.
Gu Yinwei stared at her, and Qi Gengyi quickly shifted his gaze. With such courage and cunning, he even dared to tamper with the clock in her room, causing her to be late for meeting the Queen on the first day.
Gu Yinwei took out a piece of talisman paper and stuck it on Qi Gengyi's back while standing up.
"What are you doing?"
