Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 162 Something happened

Chuxiu Palace.

The days of the concubines in the palace were spent slowly in daily etiquette instruction. It was not until this time that Huang Ye understood the intricacies of palace etiquette. It was not easy to remember all the rules, big and small. Fortunately, she had a photographic memory and a strong ability to take action, which allowed her to have time to help others. Now, except for Xu Rou and He Jiayi, she has become Sister Ye to everyone, including Wei Ruyan and other young ladies from wealthy families.

Of course, Shi Yaoyao was an exception. She was two years older than Huang Ye. Even if she called out, Huang Ye would not dare to agree. She just felt a little strange in her heart. There were not many girls of her age who were not engaged. There were thirteen people gathering together, but only two of them came.

During this period, nothing strange happened. Que'er seemed to be honest and didn't cause any trouble. The swordplay that she had guessed before entering the palace did not appear, which made her feel relieved.

Huang Ye got up this morning, washed up, and went to the place where they practiced with Wang Yuan again. All the training ended yesterday. Today is the 29th day since they came in. Yesterday, Nanny Xing informed them that they came here today to receive the clothes they would wear for tomorrow's formal audition.

Because everyone has a different body shape, the length of their clothes is also different. Huang Ye is relatively tall among the group of concubines, so her clothes are longer than most of the concubines.

"Sister Huang." Shi Yaoyao called her: "Today is our last day in the palace. How about the three of us get together in the evening?" She also mentioned Wang Yuan.

"Okay, okay!" Wang Yuan also agreed. During this month, she and Huang Ye had been inseparable every day. She felt reluctant to part with them at the thought of separation.

"Okay." Although Huang Ye felt that Shi Yaoyao was not as open-minded as she appeared, he still had to give her some face since his elder brother worked under her father. Besides, Shi Yaoyao liked to come over to Huang Ye to play often. Sometimes when it was time for dinner, the palace maid who served her would bring the food basket over, and the two of them would eat together. Sometimes, she would also call Wang Yuan to join them, and the three of them would eat together. They were used to it.

The nanny who was distributing clothes called Huang Ye's name. Huang Ye walked forward and received her clothes. She opened the clothes in front of the nanny. If she didn't check them in person, if anything happened to the clothes when she took them back, it would not be the responsibility of the sewing room.

This is a palace dress with a slightly light pink hue, the same wide robe and large sleeves, with some water ripples embroidered on the collar and cuffs. Due to the cold weather, each concubine wears a tight cotton jacket inside, and this palace dress is used to cover the outside of the cotton jacket.

Huang Ye carefully checked the palace dress. Xu Rou had not made any movement these days. If she wanted to do anything, she would definitely do it on the last day. Combining this with the TV series she had watched in her previous life, she felt that this dress was most likely to be tampered with.

Huang Ye looked at it over and over for a while, then put the clothes on and tried the length. The clothes fit well and there was nothing wrong with them. She even pretended to look at the stitches and smelled the clothes. There was nothing wrong with it and no drugs were put in it. It seemed that the problem was not with the clothes.

"Thank you, Madam." Huang Ye thanked the madam politely and handed the clothes to Que'er who was following behind. All the palace maids who served today came along, and the clothes were held by the palace maids. These beauties had made an appointment to play in the small garden later. They had been busy practicing these days and had no time to appreciate this royal garden. It would be difficult to come in when they return in the future.

The ladies who received their clothes walked towards the small garden in twos and threes. Some were also waiting for Huang Ye. After a month of getting along with each other, Huang Ye's good temper and her approachability won the favor of most of the ladies. As long as they had nothing to do, they were willing to be with her. Sister Ye was humorous and humble, and it was very relaxing to be with her.

Huang Ye walked with everyone in the garden until lunch time before returning. After eating the food brought back by Que'er, Huang Ye had a good nap. If her guess was correct, there would be a tough battle to fight tomorrow, and she had to eat, drink and sleep enough to be energetic enough to deal with it.

Shi Yaoyao came over before evening and called Wang Yuan from next door. The three of them sat by the fire in Huang Ye's living room on that winter afternoon, drinking tea and chatting about everything under the sun. They talked about topics that girls love and were having a great time.

It was time for dinner, and Que'er and the other two palace maids brought back meals for the three of them. Since it was the last day, the meal was particularly sumptuous, filling the entire table. The three of them drank tea instead of wine, toasted each other, and ate to their heart's content. By the time they finished their meal, the moon was already at its zenith.

After sending them both away, Huang Ye simply washed up and went to bed. Tomorrow was the most critical day and she had to get enough rest.

Early the next morning, Huang Ye woke up automatically without Que'er calling him. By this time Que'er had brought back breakfast. Huang Ye did not eat immediately, but carefully checked the buns and porridge he had brought back, and only started eating after confirming that there was no problem.

After breakfast, it was already late. Huang Ye asked Que'er to comb her hair and change her clothes. Today was the official beauty pageant, and all the contestants had the same hairstyle and clothes, so that the emperor and the empress dowager could observe each one, so as to prevent the overly outstanding hairstyle and clothes from affecting their judgment.

Que'er combed Huang Ye's hair, picked up the clothes beside her and shook them out, preparing to put them on her. Suddenly, she screamed. Huang Ye's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, something happened.
