The new Ju'er bowed and said, "My dear, besides the Empress, there is also a concubine and two talented ladies in the palace. Besides you, who just arrived today, there are three more, all of whom are noble ladies. As for paying respects, you must wait until you have served her in bed before you can go and see the Empress."
The eldest girl nodded and asked, "Where do they live? I'll go visit the sisters when I have time."
Ju'er: "The Empress is in Kunning Palace... Concubine Liu is in the side hall of Hui'an Palace, and Concubine Wang is in the side hall of Mingyue Palace..."
After hearing this, the girl's expression changed and a flash of indignation appeared in her eyes.
Mei'er was shocked and quickly took Ju'er and the two eunuchs outside to prevent them from seeing the young lady get angry. It would be a disaster if the emperor and empress found out.
Seeing them walking away, the girl couldn't help herself any longer and slammed the table hard.
"This is so infuriating!" She sneered, "We're all nobles, how come they can live better than me?!"
Lan Er was a little confused: "My dear, you haven't seen that room, how do you know theirs is better? Maybe theirs is much worse!"
The eldest girl shook her head helplessly. "You! The names of the palaces in the harem are all very particular. The palaces called "such and such palace" or "such and such hall" are the best. If they are called "guan" or "zhai", they are much worse. They are usually small houses. And among the palaces, the main hall is the best, the side hall is the second best, and the worst is the side hall."
"Those nobles all live in good houses, and some even live in side halls, but I was assigned to the house farthest from His Majesty, and it's a side hall!" She became more and more annoyed as she spoke. She couldn't help but bite her lower lip, and a hint of grievance flashed in her eyes.
But she didn't dare show it at all, because the affairs of this palace were under the jurisdiction of the Queen.
If she dared to show an expression of grievance, the Queen would definitely be even more displeased, and then her life would become even more difficult!
Thinking of this, the nobleman from the Ji family who had just entered the palace took several deep breaths, forcing himself to suppress his displeasure before ordering, "Lan'er, ask Ju'er to get the food, and ask Mei'er to find out where Zhu'er is."
Lan'er responded silently and then stepped back.
The days that followed were spent on daily tasks of dressing up Concubine Ji and organizing the treasury.
But when it comes to sorting out the treasury, Concubine Ji has just entered the palace, so where is there any treasury to sort out? All she brought in was a small box filled with old jewelry of all kinds, waiting to be given away as rewards.
Time just passes by like this.
Concubine Ji went from being anxious at first to being irritated, and finally to being numb.
It was not until dusk that day that the eunuch finally came to report the news.
"Lady Ji, it's your turn to sleep with me today."
