Chapter 168 Yanning Palace

Three days later, it will be a good day for Qin Tian to be elected.

It was also a sunny day.

After having breakfast in Tongming Palace, Yun Qin and his companions went to Yanning Palace in a low-key yet not-so-low-key manner.

Although Huo Jinchi had asked Yunqin if she wanted to come and take a look, the wind started to blow that night and it rained and snowed the next day.

The weather suddenly turned cold and the ground was frozen, making it difficult to walk, so Yunqin did not go out.

So this was also the first time she saw what Yeoning Palace looked like.

As soon as she stepped in, Yun Qin couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

After all, she had been a palace maid for several years, so she was familiar with the rules for concubines in the harem.

The Yanning Palace is close to the emperor's bedroom. As the main palace, its scale is naturally not as large as other palaces, but it is also magnificent.

The courtyard is paved with green bricks, and two ginkgo trees, each as thick as a man's embrace, are planted on both sides, which is in line with the name of Yanning Palace.

The two ginkgo trees dilute the grandeur of the whole yard, making it look somewhat simple and quiet, and the whole yard also looks more refined.

Everything was fine outside, but the layout inside the hall made Yun Qin couldn't help but look at Rong Xin.

Naturally, I also saw surprise in her eyes.

Although the furnishings inside cannot be said to be extremely luxurious, each piece is exquisite and exudes luxury. There are rosewood tables and chairs, antique shelves, a rosewood Luohan bed, and a low stool on the ottoman, all of which are made of huanghuali.

Even if Yun Qin didn't know the goods, she could tell that the tea sets and vases on the table were all top-quality porcelain.

Yun Qin touched the soft and smooth gauze curtain and turned to look at Xu An who came with her. "Eunuch Xu, did you make a mistake?"

This was not a rule that could be enforced with just a small promise from her.

Xu An smiled and said, "Yes, yes, the emperor instructed the servants and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrange it according to the regulations of the main seat of a palace."

"The mistress of a palace?" Yun Qin was surprised.

Xu An laughed again and said, "That's right. I agreed to live in the main hall of Yanning Palace. Isn't that the main seat of the palace?"

The main seat is fine, but she has seen the Chunxi Palace before.

She was still a little hesitant, "Isn't this a bit too much..."

"However." Xu An waved the whisk in his hand towards the palace, "The quantity of these things is correct, but they are all moved from the emperor's private storehouse, so the things are naturally better than those in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

You call this better, but "hundreds" or so is about right.

Yun Qin twitched her eyes, thinking that the emperor could only "explode" melon seeds, but she didn't expect that he could even "explode" furniture.

"It's not just these." Xu An saw that she was so "happy" that she was a little silly, and added: "There are also the rewards promised for the promotion. The emperor also promised to put them in the warehouse a long time ago. This is the gift list."

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it to Yunqin.

Rong Xin hurriedly took it but didn't open it immediately.

"Eunuch, please thank the emperor on my behalf." Yun Qin put away her surprise and returned to her usual calm.

As they were talking, people from the Shang Palace Bureau arrived.

Some young eunuchs and palace maids were sent in, all of them had clear eyes and respectful postures.

The maid said their names one by one, and then said to Yunqin earnestly: "These are all carefully selected by me. If you find them useful, you can keep them. If not, send them back and I will make other arrangements for you."

As she spoke, she glanced at Rong Xin again, with a dark light in her eyes.

Looking at her expression, Yun Qin understood that this nanny must be an old acquaintance of Rong Xin, and must have a special relationship with Nanny Ruan.

"Thank you, Madam." Yun Qin said with a smile, "I haven't asked Madam's name yet."

"My surname is Zhao."

"It turned out to be Madam Zhao." Yun Qin motioned Rong Xin to hand over the reward money. Thinking that Madam Zhao might have something to say to Rong Xin, she instructed again: "Take Madam Zhao out for a cup of tea, and take them to their place of residence."

"yes."

After everyone left, Xu An also took his leave on the pretext of going back to report to the emperor.

Yun Qin was soon the only one left in the hall.

She looked around the bright and clean interior and couldn't help but take a deep breath. After so long, she finally had her own place.

There was a charcoal brazier burning in the hall, and even the big kang next to the window was warm.

Yun Qin sat on it and touched the soft cushion under her body, and found that this cushion was the same as the cushion in Tongming Hall.

She rested her hands on the low table and couldn't help but smile.

The first small goal of being a favorite concubine: to have more of the same styles as Tongming Palace!

Yun Qin smiled to herself for a while, and just as she was about to look into the inner hall, she saw Xiao Shunzi walking in from outside.

"Master, the remaining boxes and cages have been sent to the warehouse." He held the list and put it on the low table. "Here is the list, please take a look."

Yun Qin didn't take it, but looked at him and whispered, "I took you from Yu, do you blame me?"

"How can a servant complain about the promise?" Xiao Shunzi raised his head and said hurriedly: "Others who want to serve the master don't have such a blessing!"

He is not as calm as Xiao Dezi, but he is more cheerful than him and his words are just as pleasant.

Yun Qin smiled and said, "You can see that Yanning Palace is not small. I don't trust others to take care of the outside affairs, so I plan to let you be the chief eunuch of Yanning Palace. Are you willing?"

Xiao Shunzi was shocked for a moment, and then he was just ecstatic, "Yes, yes, I am a hundred times willing."

This made Yun Qin laugh again, and she nodded and said, "Okay. With Rong Xin inside and you outside, I can rest assured."

He had helped her deal with Jiang Lihai and had shown enough loyalty. Yun Qin naturally would not say anything about betraying the trust and just entrusted the outside affairs to him.

Seeing that she actually compared herself to Rong Xin, Xiao Shunzi was excited, but he didn't say much flattering words. He just raised his chest and patted it vigorously, "Master, just rest assured!"

This sense of chivalry made Yunqin laugh again. She really wanted to meet the old lady supervisor who told them stories.

What a talent!

"Then go and meet the eunuchs sent by the Shang Palace Bureau." Yun Qin said to him gently again.

"Yes, I will take my leave."

After he left, Yun Qin walked into the inner hall, glanced at the dressing table made of rosewood, and her eyes fell on the big bed inside.

In addition to the soft cushions on the big kang, she actually saw the same style as the ones in Tongming Palace.

One queen bed.

Although the style is different, Yun Qin can tell at a glance that it is made of the same material and size as the bed in Tongming Palace.

Even though there was no one around, Yun Qin's face turned red instantly.

It turns out that Hawking Chi spends more time as a dog.

Fortunately, this place is quite spacious, otherwise there would be no room for such a big bed.

Yun Qin deliberately looked away from the bed and went to take a look in the bathroom.

Then I saw another bathtub of the same model.

The more Yun Qin looked at him, the more familiar he looked, and she couldn't help but grit her teeth.

He wouldn't just move the bathtub from the Tongming Palace here, would he?
