Jiang Changning returned to Qiyuan Palace and summoned the chief eunuchs Dong Qu and Xiulan, "There are many people summoned into the palace this time. Let the guards guard them so that no trouble can occur."

"Please rest assured, Madam. Folks are not allowed to enter or leave the palace. There are three layers of guards guarding the palace, so there will be no problems." Dong Qu replied.

"That's good." Jiang Changning handed him the list, "You go and make arrangements."

The next day, folk artists entered the palace one after another and stayed in Gantang Palace.

Dong went to find Chang Youzhong and said, "Eunuch Chang, everyone outside the palace has made arrangements. Do you want to go over and have a look?"

Without waiting for Chang Youzhong to speak, he added: "With you at your fingertips, we feel more at ease."

"Slippery." Chang Youzhong laughed and cursed, "Where is Miss Xiulan?"

"I've asked someone to invite you." Dong Qu replied.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Xiulan walking over from the other side.

Xiulan walked up to the two of them and knelt down, "Eunuch Chang, Eunuch Dong."

"You little naughty boy, let's go to Gantang Palace and see those artists. Miss Xiulan, please." Chang Youzhong said with a smile.

Without Chang Youzhong's explanation, Xiulan also understood the reason why Dong went to find her and Chang Youzhong went to Gantang Palace.

Dong Qu was not someone who would serve Emperor Xuanzhi and Jiang Changning personally. He was afraid that the person he arranged would not be to the liking of the two masters, so he roped them in.

Xiulan smiled politely and said: "Eunuch Chang, please."

Gantang Palace is very spacious and has many rooms, but the place is remote and far away from the three main palaces. Even if these folk artists are practicing music and dancing in the palace, they will not disturb the three masters in the palace.

If anyone has evil intentions and wants to do something, and does not leave Gantang Palace, he may be shot into a sieve by arrows.

As soon as I arrived at the palace gate, I heard the sound of various musical instruments and the sound of someone hoisting their throat, "Ah!"

"This is too noisy." Xiulan frowned.

Dong Qu winked at the little eunuch guarding the door. The little eunuch was very smart and went in immediately, causing the artists to stop rehearsing.

When the music stopped, Chang Zhong and others came in.

Entering through the gate, there is a spacious courtyard, and the artists who enter the palace are all standing side by side.

Actors and geishas are all low-class people. Even if they are sought after, some of them cannot recognize their status, but they still dare not show off when they first enter the palace.

Xiulan glanced around, but she didn't see that kind of enchanting, promiscuous woman. She nodded slightly, saying that the Yufutai was well done.

Chang Youzhong asked: "Are these artists invited from the people?"

"Yes." Dong Qu nodded.

Then he said to the folk artists: "This is Eunuch Chang, the chief steward of the imperial palace, and this is Miss Xiulan, the eldest maid next to the empress. Please come and greet Eunuch Chang and Miss Xiulan."

These folk artists have long guessed that Chang Youzhong and Xiulan have extraordinary identities. Now they know that one is serving the emperor and the other is serving the queen. They are both noble people!

Everyone hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted, "I've met Eunuch Chang, I've met Miss Xiulan."

It's just that they were too nervous, their etiquette was uneven, and their postures were not good-looking. Xiulan frowned slightly and said, "Eunuch Chang, do you want someone to teach them some rules?"

"It's time for someone to teach them some rules so as not to lose their manners in front of noble people." Chang Youzhong said.

Dong Qu nodded in agreement and wrote this down.

"The rules in the palace are strict. Anyone who dares to break the rules and bump into the nobles will be punished." Chang Youzhong slapped everyone coldly.

The boards in the palace are real. If you go down to 20 boards, you will basically lose half your life. At 50 boards, you will most likely be able to confess.

"Miss Xiulan, please say a few words." Chang Youzhong said with a smile.

"I don't have anything to say. Just one sentence: learn the rules well and don't be careless. Otherwise, if you break the rules, you will be reprimanded for a trivial matter. If you lose your life, it will be too late to regret."

These words frightened the artists and said, "You must learn the rules well."

"Okay, we've seen them all, there's no big problem." Chang Youzhong glanced at the folk artists again, and when he saw them lowering their heads, he looked back with satisfaction.

After Chang Youzhong and others left, the frightened artists did not have the energy to rehearse for the time being, and gathered in small groups, whispering.

Among them was a girl wearing a white cotton robe embroidered with daffodils and left alone.

"Chaoyun, why don't you wear her peacock costume today?" asked a dancer.

"If she dares to dress up and show off her beauty after entering the palace, she is seeking death." Another dancer curled her lips.

"She has always been very arrogant. She always wanted to be favored by the nobles so that she could be a good wife. Now that she has entered the palace, why has she become more honest?" There was no concealment of the malice in her tone.

"This is the palace, what can she do if she is dishonest? Is this the one she can confuse?"

"Oh, you didn't understand what I meant. Is she the kind of person with a brain? Someone must be guiding her behind her back. I always feel that she has an agenda."

"What can she want?"

"How do I know?" The dancer rolled her eyes.

"It doesn't matter what she plots, just don't get us involved."

"I'm just afraid I'll get involved."

All the dancers sighed and fell silent.

After a while, the dancing girl who first noticed something was wrong with Chao Yun said: "Ms. Yao, you and Chao Yun live in the same room. Keep an eye on her and don't let her do anything wrong."

"I know." A petite dancer agreed, "I'll go back to my room now."

When Yao Niang entered the room, she saw Chaoyun holding the mirror and looking at herself.

Chao Yun is very beautiful, with exquisite facial features and a delicate and delicate appearance.

The dandies in Beijing are very fond of her and want to be her guest.

"Chaoyun, we came to the palace to perform a dance, you don't want to do anything else." Yao Niang said cautiously.

"What did I do?" Chao Yun turned to look at her, "Are you afraid that I would climb a high branch and take revenge on them?"

"Chaoyun, we have good intentions. The emperor is not someone you can cling to."

"So far, no man can refuse me, Chaoyun." Chaoyun touched his face, "The emperor is also a man."

"I heard people say that the emperor and the empress have a very good relationship. If you do this, you will anger the empress..."

"It doesn't matter if you make her angry. As long as you capture the emperor's heart, it doesn't matter if she is dissatisfied." Chaoyun said proudly.

Yao Niang was stunned for a moment and said: "Chaoyun, you haven't even seen the emperor's face yet, so don't be too wishful thinking."

"What do you know?" Chaoyun curled his lips disdainfully.

It may be difficult to achieve anything by relying on beauty alone, but she also has noble people to help her.

The noble man said that he would definitely help her.

In history, there were geishas and maikos who became queens. She was so beautiful, Chao Yun. Could it be that she couldn't even become a concubine?
