Chapter 14 ·

Everything goes as planned.

The little swallow did not delay. The next morning, she arrived in front of Concubine Ling and knelt down to Concubine Ling.

"Empress! I have something to ask for your help!"

"Why do you do such a big tribute? Get up quickly!" Concubine Ling said in shock.

Wintersweet and Dongxue went to support the little swallow.

"Can't get up! Can't get up! I'll get up until the Empress agrees to me!"

"What's that serious?"

"It's a small thing for the Empress! I want to add two palace maids!"

"You want two more palace maids? Is Mingyue Caixia not serving her well?" Concubine Ling was puzzled and confused.

"No! They are so good, but I want two more people!"

"It's not difficult to have two more people. You are the only one who needs so many people to serve you?"

"Actually, it's not a service, but a relief! If these two people enter the palace, I won't be clamoring to leave the palace every day! The empress can also worry less!"

Concubine Ling was shocked:

"Do you still have the designated candidates? Could it be...you still have to get in from outside the palace?"

Xiaoyanzi stood up from the ground, walked over, and hugged Concubine Ling's shoulder.

"Empress! You spoil me once! I know that you love me in your heart. Every time you have something delicious and useful, you will always give it to me! When the Queen scolds me, you always help me speak for me, and I will definitely repay you in the future! If you spoil me, please spoil me to the end! Give these two palace maids to me!"

Concubine Ling was confused when she heard it.

"Which two?"

"One of them is called Ziwei and the other is called Jinsuo! They are all working in Lord Fulun's house now!"

"Fulun? Is their family again?" Concubine Ling looked at Xiaoyanzi, "You are so close to their family!"

"Those two girls are so good. They are so close to me. They are like my sisters! When they enter the palace, I don't need to pay them monthly salary. The money given to me by the Emperor Ama has not been used up yet. I will pay my monthly salary myself! As long as you allow them to enter the palace!"

Concubine Ling stared at Xiaoyanzi, very confused.

"Okay! I take this matter to heart, and I'll talk about it after I think about it for a few days!"

The little swallow was anxious.

"Empress, don't think about it! I can't eat any food every day, so there is no problem for two more people to eat!"

"That can't be said to be wind or rain. Whatever you want to do! I have to think about it!"

No matter how anxious Xiaoyanzi was, she had no choice but to wait for Concubine Ling to consider it.

Concubine Ling didn't think too long and found the concubine. She asked carefully. The concubine had already made up the words with everyone and spoke very well. Concubine Ling suddenly realized:

"You said, are those two girls sworn sisters of the Condor Heroes?"

"Yes! At that time, when the Confucian Princess entered the palace, she saw Ertai, so she went to take care of these two girls! How could Ertai do these things? I went there for a trip, but I knew that these two girls were exquisite and clean. I liked them at a glance, so I simply took them to my house and asked them to help do housework. In this way, when the Confucian Princess thought of them, she would meet them when she came to my house!"

"So that's it! Why didn't this child tell me clearly? Then, the last time the princess sneaked out of the palace, did she want to see them both?"

"Not bad! Three girls, the relationship is so good!"

Concubine Ling pondered:

"In your opinion, is there anything wrong with them coming to the palace to be palace maids?"

The concubine looked at Concubine Ling and said sincerely:

"My Fair Princess is now the little celebrity in front of the emperor, and this is also the result of your proper handling! To be honest, maybe one day, we will need her support! What's wrong with making her happy? The palace doesn't care about two more people. As for the character of these two girls, I can guarantee it!"

Concubine Ling's eyes lit up:

"Yes! Sister, you are considerate, so let's make a decision like this! In two days, you can let them enter the palace!"

It was really unexpected. Originally, in the palace, the noble concubine was as noble as Ling, and it was a trivial matter to arrange two palace maids to enter the palace.

The night before Ziwei entered the palace, Ekang was really conflicted and worried. He was sad and heartbroken, and he had endless things to say to Ziwei:

"Ziwei, this time I sent you into the palace is really helpless. I have thought for a long time. Only by taking this risk can everyone get what they want! But in my heart, I really hope that you will never leave me again! Although the palace wall is just a wall, it feels like a wall of iron! I really don't worry about you and I don't want to let you go! When you enter the palace tomorrow, I will continue to worry, and I don't know which day to worry about! Before you enter the palace, I already feel a little regretful. I don't know whether this move is right or wrong. You promise me, be careful!"

Ziwei nodded constantly and stared at Erkang.

"Don't worry, I'm not a little swallow. I will be very careful and cautious! I know how contradictory you make such an arrangement! I also know how deeply you think about me! You understand my desire for the emperor in my heart, and you also understand that I don't know what I live in your house like this, and it's not a long-term solution! Now I've arranged for me to enter the palace, which solved the embarrassment of my situation and paved a way for the future to reunite. You are really good at it! If I don't understand your intentions, I won't listen to your arrangements!"

Erkang was both excited, moved, intoxicated, and heartbroken when he heard it.

"Sometimes, I really hate myself for being born in the Duke's House, which makes me helpless! When I saw you in Youyou Valley that day, I should carry you on my horse and ride it away like this, never come back!"

"If that happens, you will not be Falcon, who is responsible and responsible!"

Erkang stared at her deeply.

"When you enter the palace, it is not as easy as it is now, but I will still come to the palace to meet you! You have to contact the fifth prince at any time and let me know your situation every day!"

Ziwei nodded desperately, tears were already shining in her eyes.

"In the palace, you are just a palace maid. Unlike Xiaoyanzi, who has the status of a ‘grand princess’, you must pay attention to your every move. Don’t be too impatient with the emperor, and don’t be able to have a family affection, so you can’t do it yourself! You must have a number, and he has already recognized Xiaoyanzi with preconceived ideas!"

"I know, I know everything!"

"If you can't live in the palace, tell the fifth prince that we will pick you up, don't force me!"

"I know, I know everything!"

Erkang looked at her deeply and wanted to lock her tightly with his eyes.

"Remember! Today's separation is for eternity in the future."

Ziwei nodded desperately again.

"So, do you have anything to say to me?" Erkang looked at her reluctantly.

"treasure!"

Erkang felt a fever.

"Just two words?" asked expectantly, "Is there anything else?"

Ziwei walked to the table and sat down and began to play the piano. She played the dingdong dong note while staring at Erkang and sang in a gentle manner:

It is not easy to gather, nor is it easy to disperse. If you gather and disperse, you will know what evening tonight!

It is not easy to see each other, nor is it easy to get along with each other. I would rather miss you because I am afraid of getting together like duckweed!

It is not easy to leave, nor is it easy to stay. There are thousands of knots in your heart, and they are all kings!

It’s not easy to wake up, nor is it easy to get drunk. After leaving tonight, please remember it!

After Ziwei finished singing, her eyes looked at Erkang softly.

Erkang was drunk and fell in love with Ziwei's eyes and singing.

So, on that day, the concubine led Ziwei and Jinsuo into the palace and came directly to Concubine Ling.

Xiaoyanzi had been waiting next to Concubine Ling for a long time, staring at Ziwei with her eager eyes, extremely excited.

"Empress! I brought Ziwei and Jinsuo!" said Fo Jin.

Ziwei and Jinsuo both knelt down and kowtowed.

"I, Ziwei, bow to Empress Ling! Empress is thousands of years old!"

"I, Jin Zuo, kowtowed to Empress Ling! The Empress is thousands of years old!" Jin Zuo also kowtowed.

"Raise your head! Show me!" said Concubine Ling.

Ziwei and Jinsuo both looked up.

Concubine Ling walked up to the two of them and looked at them carefully. She was a little surprised and could not help but praise:

"Oh! He looks so good! He is fair and clean!" He asked Ziwei, "How old are you?"

"I'm eighteen years old!"

"I'm seventeen!" Jin Zuo hurriedly answered.

"I didn't ask you, there was no need to answer!" Concubine Ling said with a smile.

"Yes! I understand!" Jin Zuo answered hurriedly.

"Okay, let's change this problem of 'me, I'll go back to the matter! After following the Condor Princess, I think this rule is difficult to teach. However, the princess has obtained the emperor's permission and can seek 'rules' carefully. You two will be different! These etiquette norms in the palace must be abide by! If something goes wrong, others will say that I, Concubine Ling, how can you two enter the palace? Do you know?"

Ziwei hurriedly kowtowed and said:

"I thank the Empress for your advice! I must abide by the rules and not let the Empress make things difficult!"

Concubine Ling was stunned and couldn't help but look at Ziwei again.

Xiaoyanzi stood aside, unable to bear it anymore, and stepped forward and said hurriedly to Concubine Ling:

"Can I take them back to Shufangzhai?"

"What are you anxious about? I haven't finished speaking yet!" Concubine Ling reminded the two of them again, "You two came to the palace with the face of the Condor Heroes. They have not received formal training from the palace maids. You must be more alert and know the right way! Even in Shufangzhai, you cannot be out of touch with the princess! The palace is big, so don't wander around in other places except Shufangzhai! No one can clean up for you!"

Ziwei kowtowed again and said:

"I will follow the teachings of the Empress! I will definitely restrain myself, keep my duties carefully, and dare not exceed the rules!"

Concubine Ling glanced at Ziwei again, feeling that this woman was speaking well and was a little puzzled.

The little swallow was already in a hurry.

"Empress! Have you finished speaking? I will teach them other rules slowly!"

Concubine Ling opened her eyes wide and said with a laugh:
