Flipping the Cards to Serve in the Imperial Bed

So she spoke in a gentle tone.

"You missed the selection due to illness, but I think of my sister's stunning appearance. If you can enter the palace as a concubine, I think my uncle and aunt will also be willing. If you are favored by His Majesty in the harem, it will also be beneficial to your brother's future. By then, not to mention the Imperial City Division, he can even join the Imperial Guards. Don't you think so?"

First slap and then give a sweet date, the method of combining kindness and force is used by Concubine Lin like catching a fish in water.

Lin Wanyi knew what Concubine Lin meant. There was a faint smile on her face, and she looked like whatever the Concubine said was right. The two sisters chatted for a while, and then saw Jiang Heqing walked in and said respectfully.

"Your servant greets the queen, Quan Zongguan from the Inner Court is here."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"He said he was here to deliver the daily records."

The daily records are the books that record the emperor's visits to concubines.

Normally, it was delivered by Eunuch He from the Jingshifang, but why was it delivered by General Manager Quan himself today? It seems that he has something else to report.

"Let him in."

"I obey your command."

Jiang Heqing went out, and saw the eunuch holding a whisk came in with two young eunuchs.

"Your servant Quanfu wishes the Imperial Concubine good health, and Lin the lady good health."

He was very smart. Even though Lin Wanyi had only been in the palace for two hours, he could already accurately tell her identity when he saw her. He was really powerful.

"Tell me, what is the matter that you want to see me for?"

"Your Highness, first, I want to send you the daily record for your review, and second, Lin Wanyi's green card has been prepared. I want to ask your Highness whether it should be sent to the imperial court today?"

"The people of the Inner Court are very efficient. Since it has been prepared, just send it up."

"Your Highness is right."

The two of them talked about Lin Wanyi's sleeping with the emperor as if no one else was around, and she, the main person, was left out.

After reporting what he wanted to say, General Manager Quan withdrew respectfully.

When he walked out of the Linzhi Palace, he thought for a moment and said to the eunuch who followed him.

"Go tell Deputy General Manager Qin that he should be more diligent in what the Lin Wanyi asks for. If you please her now, the Inner Court will also benefit in the future."

"Yes, General Manager."

Quanfu turned around and took a look at the auspicious clouds above the Linzhi Palace. It must be said that the Imperial Concubine's vision is really good.

This Lin Wanyi is much more beautiful than the new girls. If she is also lucky, she may be crowned as a concubine in the future. As servants, they naturally have to bet on their luck.

So they left the Linzhi Palace quickly and rushed to deliver the green card to the Qian'an Palace(Emperor Palace).

"We are sisters from the same family. Since you have entered the palace, I will take care of you. Yihua Palace is close to the Qian'an Palace of your majesty. It will not be a trouble if you are called to accompany the emperor in the future."

"Thank you for your trouble to arrange it, this lower concubine will remember your kindness."

"Well."

The two sisters could not say anything else except reminiscing about the past. So not long after Quan Zongguan left, Lin Wanyi also returned to Yihua Palace. In less than half a day after entering the palace, the three of them went back and forth to several places.

After walking a lot of distance, their feet were very sore at this moment.

Xia An took off Lin Wanyi's shoes and socks, and gently massaged her. Her hand strength was just right, and soon Lin Wanyi's fatigue was relieved.

"Chunqi is in good spirits and has the energy to look around. It's tiring for you to take care of me."

"My lady, that's not right. It's my servant's blessing to serve you." As the master and servant were talking, Chunqi came back. As soon as she entered the door, she didn't care about anything else and said with surprise in her eyes.   

"My lady, this hall on the left is much bigger than our courtyard at home. There is a small side room in the condo of the door. I saw a small charcoal stove inside. If you want to have some hot soup or tea, it's convenient."

She gained a lot from this trip. She went around the hall on the left.

"There is a flower pond in the corridor in the front yard, planted with precious flowers and plants. I think it looks like camellia, but I'm not sure."  

"There is a small pavilion behind this house, which is elegant and unique. My lady loves to drink tea, right? It must be comfortable to put tea sets in the pavilion in summer."   

Lin Wanyi chuckled, "You know how to enjoy it."  

"Hehe, isn't this the good of the little bishop?"   

Listening to Chunqi's chattering, Lin Wanyi's heart, which had been hanging for a long time, fell a lot.   

Yes, since you have entered the palace, you must live well for yourself and your family. Suffering is one day, happiness is one day, why bother yourself to make yourself unhappy?  

Now that the imperial concubine is here to protect her, the eunuchs, maids, and nannies are all very polite. It is important to make the most of this time to get things going.

The sun in April was still warm, and two dishes and a soup were served for lunch according to the palace rules. Not only were the portions large, but the dishes were also very delicate. A dish of fish and shrimp stewed with wild delicacies, a dish of honey pickled tofu, and a pot of bamboo shoot soup with braised pheasant shreds, all of which were light but very nourishing. The portions for the maids were simpler, but they were all delicious.

Chunqi smelled the bamboo shoot soup, and the glutton in her stomach was aroused. Lin Wanyi could tell at a glance that she liked it, and said with a smile.  

"I can't finish so much, you can keep a bowl to try."   

"Thank you, my lady!"  

Chunqi was not polite, but Xia An felt that it was not appropriate, and hesitated, not knowing whether to accept it.  

She is different from Chunqi. Chunqi is a personal maid who grew up with Lin Wanyi since childhood. The affection between them is not something that others can match.

When she was a 15-year-old girl, the old man of the Dong family found a way to send her to the prime minister's residence. In order to take care of Lin Wanyi's health, she has some medical skills. 

Seeing Xia An's worry, Chunqi handed over a bowl of soup.  

"Our young master loves us servants the most, you can drink it without worry."  

Seeing that Lin Wanyi also nodded to her, Xia An was relieved.   After eating this delicious lunch, Lin Wanyi felt sleepy. Not only did she get up early that day, but she had to be careful when talking to people, so her brain was very tired.

She wanted to take a rest for a while, but someone came outside.   The eunuch who came in was a stranger. Judging from the uniform, it was somewhat similar to the general manager Quan she saw in Linzhi Palace. Lin Wanyi guessed that he was probably a well-known eunuch in the inner court.  

As expected, the eunuch spoke.

"I am Qin An, the deputy general manager of the inner court. I am here to meet Miss Lin. I wish you good health."  

"It's Eunuch Qin. Please stand up."  

She turned to Chunqi and said,

"Bring a chair for Eunuch Qin."  

"You are too polite. I am here to congratulate you."   

Seeing that Lin Wanyi was a little stunned, he immediately said with a smile.   

"His Majesty just turned over your name card. You will sleep with him tonight."
