Chapter 341 Chaoyun
Jiang Changning returned to Qiyuan Palace and summoned the chief eunuch Dongqu and Xiulan, "There are a lot of people summoned into the palace this time, let the guards watch over them, so there will be no trouble."

"Please don't worry, empress, folks are not allowed to enter the palace, and there are three layers of guards guarding them, so there will be no problems." Dong Qu replied.

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

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

Dong went to find Chang Youzhong, "Eunuch Chang, the arrangements for the people outside the palace have been made, 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 can feel more at ease."

"Slippery." Chang Youzhong scolded with a smile, "Where's Miss Xiulan?"

"Someone invited them." Dong Qu replied.

After finishing speaking, Xiulan was seen walking over from the other end.

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

"You little cunning, let's go to Gantang Palace to see those entertainers, Miss Xiulan, please." Chang Youzhong said with a smile.

It doesn't need to be told by Chang Youzhong, Xiulan also understands the reason why Dong went to find her and Chang Youzhong went to Gantang Palace.

Dong Qu was not someone who served Emperor Xuanzhi and Jiang Changning personally, he was afraid that the people he arranged would not meet the wishes of the two masters, so he recruited them.

Xiulan smiled politely, "Please, Mr. Chang."

Gantang Palace is very spacious, with many rooms, but the place is remote, away from the three main palaces, even if these folk artists are practicing 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 without leaving the Gantang Palace, they may be shot into a sieve by arrows.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the palace, I heard the sound of various musical instruments coming from inside, as well as the sound of someone hanging their voices, "Ah!"

"It's too noisy." Xiulan frowned.

Dong Qu winked at the little eunuch who was guarding the gate, and the little eunuch was very clever, and immediately went in to stop the artists from rehearsing.

When the music stops, some loyal people often go in.

Entering through the gate, there is a spacious courtyard, and the entertainers who entered the palace stood obediently one by one.

Actors and singing girls are low-class characters. Even if they are sought after, some people can't recognize their status, but they still dare not make public when they first enter the palace.

Xiulan's eyes swept over, but she didn't see that kind of enchanting and dusty woman, she bowed her head slightly, and Yufutai did a good job in this matter.

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

"Yes." Dong Qu nodded.

Then he said to those folk artists: "This is Eunuch Chang, the head of the imperial court, and this is Miss Xiulan, the maid of honor next to the empress. Hurry up and greet Eunuch Chang and Miss Xiulan."

These folk artists have long guessed that Chang Youzhong and Xiulan's identities are not simple, and now they know that one is serving the emperor and the other is serving the queen, they are both nobles!

One by one hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted, "I've seen Eunuch Chang and Miss Xiulan."

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

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

Dong Qu busy nodded yes, and wrote this down.

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

The board in the palace is a real deal. If you go down to [-] boards, you will basically lose half of your life. If you get [-] boards, you will most likely be confessed.

"Miss Xiulan, you can also say a few words." Chang Youzhong said with a smile.

"I have nothing to say, just one sentence, learn the rules carefully, don't be sloppy, otherwise the rules will be broken, and being reprimanded is a trivial matter, and if you lose your life, it will be too late to regret."

The artists who were bluffed by these words said anxiously: "We must learn the rules well."

"Okay, we've seen them all, there's nothing serious about it." Chang Youzhong glanced over at the folk artists again, seeing that they all lowered their heads, he looked away in satisfaction.

After Chang Youzhong and others left, the terrified artists had no energy to rehearse for the time being, and gathered in small groups, whispering.

Among them was a girl in a cotton gown embroidered with daffodils on a white background, and left alone.

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

"After entering the palace, if she dares to dress up beautifully, she is courting death." Another dancer curled her lips.

"She has always been very arrogant. She always wanted to be favored by the princes and grandchildren so that she could be a good wife. Now that she has entered the palace, why is she being honest?" The maliciousness in her tone was undisguised.

"This is the palace, what can she do if she is dishonest? Is that the one she can live in so confusingly?"

"Oh, you didn't understand what I meant. Is she the kind of person with a brain? Someone must be pointing her behind her back. I always think she has a plan."

"What can she draw?"

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

"It doesn't matter what she plans, as long as you don't get us involved."

"I'm afraid it will cause trouble."

All the dancers sighed together and fell silent.

After a while, the dancer who first noticed something was wrong with Chaoyun said: "Yao Niang, you live in the same room with Chaoyun, keep an eye on her, don't let her mess around."

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

When Yaoniang entered the room, she saw Chaoyun looking at herself in the mirror.

Chaoyun is very beautiful, with exquisite features, weak and delicate.

The dudes in Beijing and China are very fond of her, and they all want to be her guest of honor.

"Chaoyun, we entered the palace to perform dances, don't do other things." Yao Niang said cautiously.

"What did I do?" Chaoyun turned his eyes to look at her, "Are you afraid that I will climb a tall branch and take revenge on them?"

"Chaoyun, we have good intentions, the emperor is not something 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, the empress will be angered."

"It doesn't matter if you piss her off, as long as you grab the emperor's heart, it doesn't matter if she is dissatisfied." Zhao Yun said proudly.

Yaoniang was stunned for a moment, then said: "Chaoyun, you haven't even seen the emperor's face yet, so don't be too delusional."

"What do you know?" Chao Yun curled his lips in disdain.

Relying on beauty alone may not be able to accomplish anything, but she still has noble people to help.

The nobleman said that he would definitely help her.

In history, there were singers and maikos who became queens. She Chaoyun is so beautiful, can she even be a concubine?

Just when Chaoyun was dreaming of becoming a concubine in the future, Xiulan returned to Qiyuan Palace and reported to Jiang Changning what she saw in Gantang Palace, "Those people are pretty honest."

 Who do you think is the noble person who wants to help Chaoyun?
