Ning Wanyin came out of Mingzhao Hall and sent someone to report the good news to the old lady who had just returned from worshiping Buddha.
It was already dusk when she returned to Xihe Courtyard.
Peng Qin was the first to report, “Miss, Doctor Ge has checked everything one by one. The fan and jewelry are clean and non-toxic.”
Peng Qi followed closely, “I’ve made thorough inquiries. Miss Tang was as usual yesterday. Nothing unusual happened. However, this morning she woke up from a nightmare, crying and laughing, startling the maids who were waiting on her.”
“Ever since waking up from this nightmare, she seemed to have changed her personality. When she returned to her courtyard just now, she even sent a maid to deliver a box of very precious tea to Eldest Madam.”
Ning Wanyin listened quietly, her delicate face showing no emotion.
“Have you checked the tea sent for Mother?”
“You have already instructed that anything delivered to the Eldest Madam’s yard must be checked by Doctor Ge first. The tea was also clean after inspection.” Peng Qi replied.
Ning Wanyin was in deep thought, saying nothing.
Peng Qin speculated, “Miss, this Miss Tang’s temperament has suddenly changed drastically. Could it be that she is possessed by an evil spirit?”
“I haven’t heard of anyone being possessed by evil spirits, but she seems more normal now.” Ning Wanyin curled her lips, a hint of caution flashing in her eyes.
“Keep a close eye on her and be on guard.”
“Yes.”
Lian Rui was the last one to come back and report.
She said, “Miss, among those selected this time are those from the Duke of Su’s Mansion…”
…
It is a sunny day on the first day of March.
Ning Wanyin bid farewell to her grandmother and mother and entered the palace with Tang Miaoling.
Because His Majesty has few concubines in the former Prince’s palace and this year is the first election, most of the six palaces in the east and west do not have a main master. Yonghe Palace is one of them.
The eunuch leading the way escorted the two to the main gate of Yonghe Palace, where a group of eunuchs and palace maids were already there to greet them. They happened to be assigned to the same place, occupying the left and right side halls.
“Welcome, Meiren!”
Six palace maids saluted Tang Miaoling.
Four more palace maids saluted Ning Wanyin and said, “Welcome, Guiren.”
There is a strict hierarchy in the palace, and different positions have different treatments.
“Cousin, we are so destined to live together.”
Tang Miaoling looked pleasantly surprised, but in reality, she was not at all happy.
With her memories of her past life, she already knew that the two of them were assigned to the same palace.
She really wanted to stay away from Ning Wanyin!
She was trembling with fear, yet pretending to be overjoyed.
Woo, what kind of suffering in the world is this?
Ning Wanyin saw through her inconsistency and bowed.
“Sister Tang, I’m going back to the house first.”
She had to perform formalities when meeting or leaving concubines of a higher rank than herself. She had studied the palace rules privately for three years and would not ignore them simply because of the other person’s attitude.
“Yes, you have worked hard along the way. Go back and rest!”
Tang Miaoling nodded quickly and hurriedly took her palace servants back to the left side hall, where she lived.
If she stayed with Ning Wanyin for a while longer, she was afraid that she would not be able to hold on and her legs would start shaking.
The right side hall of Yonghe Palace—Lingxue Pavilion.
A guiren could only bring one maid into the palace, so Ning Wanyin brought Lian Rui, who had served her since childhood.
The two palace maids and two eunuchs who had just paid their respects were assigned to serve her in the palace.
“Your servant Dan Li/Lu Ju greets Meiren. Greetings!”
“The servant Xiao Guizi/Xiao Yuanzi greets Meiren. Greetings!”
