Rong'er also stood up and softly said, ”Reporting to the emperor, her name is Yin Xinyu. She is the younger sister of someone of noble status in Youlan.”
”Huh?” Xuan Ye was somewhat surprised. She walked to the front of Yin Xinyu, looked at that young and tender face, and couldn't help but sigh. How did you get into the palace? ”
”Your Majesty, this servant participated in last year's palace maid selection.” Yin Xinyu felt her heart tremble nonstop. She was really happy to finally see the emperor.
”Last year's palace maid talent show?” Xuan Ye frowned slightly. ”So, you've already been a palace maid for more than a year?”
”Yes.” Yin Xinyu's face was already red as she hurriedly nodded and responded.
Rong'er said softly, ”What a coincidence. When chenqie met her and saw that she looked exactly the same as Ruo Lan when she was young, I only found out that she was Ruo Lan's little sister after some further questioning.”
Xuan Ye gently shook his head, ”Honorable Yin has already entered the palace to serve as a palace maid, but now her sister has also entered the palace. Having two daughters serving as a slave in the palace is really an unreasonable system, not to mention that the Honorable Yin is a person with an extremely high character. Now that her sister is sent serving as a slave, the Honorable Yin will definitely not be able to live in peace!”
”Yes, Your Majesty. We, the Great Qing, have decreed that all the daughters of the House of the Interior will participate in the palace female contestants' talent show. If all the daughters of the family are chosen, then they will all have to enter the palace as slaves.” Rong'er continued.
”Mm, we have to change this system! In the same family, if a girl has already been chosen as a palace maid, the rest of the sisters are exempt from the selection! ” Xuan Ye nodded, and then looked at Yin Xinyu, ”Your sister's character is high, and she died to save the prince. Xuan Ye nodded, and then looked at Yin Xinyu,” Your sister's character is high, and she died to save the prince.
Hearing Xuan Ye's words, Yin Xinyu bit her lower lip and didn't say anything. Finally, she uttered, ”No …” Your Majesty, chenqie doesn't want to return home … ” As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Rong'er.
Rong'er let out a light sigh, and softly said from behind Xuan Ye, ”Your majesty, chenqie is thinking, if Lan died accidentally, and your majesty's heart was grieving, and Rong'er coincidentally met Xinyu, is this all the arrangement of the heavens? ”As you know, the noble Yin is so fond of the emperor, could Xin Yue be taking care of him in his place?”
Xuan Ye stared at Yin Xinyu's face. It was such a young face, and it reminded him of the girl from her youth who sang a little song for her on the night when he was troubled. A trace of warmth slipped through her chest, and she lowered her head to look at Yin Xinyu, ”I want to know your wishes, do you want to stay in the palace and become my woman?”
”This servant is willing!” Xinyu raised her head and looked at Xuan Ye with excitement in her eyes.
Xuan Ye nodded his head in gratification and smiled. ”You're still too young, and this is the time for us to pay our respects to the empress dowager. You should spend the next year in the palace with your promised salary first!”
”Thank you, your majesty!” Xin Yu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to express her gratitude.
Rong'er smiled. She didn't know if she was right or wrong. Sometimes, when a person was making a decision, it would only take a split-second. This path was chosen by Yin Xinyu, and it had never been wrong.
Yin Xinyu had been arranged by Xuan Ye to live in Yanxi Palace, but her sudden appearance caused a small disturbance in the harem. However, because of Yin Ruo Lan's character, character, and tragic death in the palace, everyone was rather moved, so there was less animosity towards Yin Xinyu. After all, that face could awaken too many people's memories. In order to commemorate Ruo Lan, Xuan Ye had still given her the title of ”Yin Agree”. This was Xuan Ye's imperial harem, the first consort to have a new title. Of course, this was a matter of later on.
After the Emperor's Empress Dowager's Anniversary Ceremony at the end of the last twenty-seven years, Xuan Ye prepared to make his second tour of the south …
Two notes on this book:
Chapter 1: ”Yin Xinyu” Description: Kangxi's harem has a ”double name” title, this is very strange, Kangxi is not a person without talent, the two who are qualified to be buried in the harem should have an impression in Kangxi's heart, so why is there a double name? Thus, Yue Tong speculated about two things. First, these two shouldn't be present in the palace at the same time. Others would find it difficult to distinguish them apart when they called out. Second, perhaps their predecessors had some sort of relationship with their descendants.
2. The Qing Dynasty's rules about the palace women's talent show some differences among the dynasties. In the Kangxi Dynasty, it was decided that if a woman from the same family entered the palace as a palace maid, they would not choose any other sisters to enter the palace. Kangxi must have noticed something behind the system, so the article had a plot.
