Chapter 22: Twenty-two, Greetings
The next day, after getting up. An Zhi and Tinglan were busy helping Heluo to groom and dress up after washing. Because Heluo is already the last batch of concubines to enter the palace, today is the first time that the new concubines have met, so everyone in the palace is solemn, and they are extremely careful and careful, and they dare not slack off in the slightest.
Anzhi was holding rouge gouache, and Tinglan was responsible for applying makeup for Heluo, because Tinglan was used to serving the eldest lady at home, and her makeup skills were very dexterous. It's just that neither of them is a good hand at combing their hair, and Tinglan is only afraid that it won't look good when it comes out, so she hesitates and doesn't dare to do it. Seeing this, Heluo didn't blame them, but quipped: "You can just comb it casually, as long as I don't let my hair fall off when I meet the queen when the time comes." ”
Anzhi and Tinglan were in a hurry to get angry, so they didn't care about Heluo's teasing. Who knew that Qingqing, who was holding a jewelry silk flower next to him, said timidly: "I will comb my hair, if the little master does not dislike it, then it is good to let the slave and maid try." ”
Heluo turned his head to look at Qingqing, and saw that she was only the same age as herself, combing her forehead bangs, her eyes wide open, and she was looking at her timidly. smiled and instructed Tinglan: "Give the comb to Qingqing and let her try it." ”
Qingqing took the comb, as if she had confidence, and asked softly, "What kind of bun does the little master want to comb?"
Heluo looked at his makeup in the bronze mirror, which was very delicate and innocent and a little charming but not too glamorous, so he ordered: "Just comb the ingots," because the ingots are mostly young women's combs, so that they can bring out the childishness and cuteness of Heluo. In addition, it is also ordinary in the palace, and it is not as arrogant as Lingyun's side to attract attention.
Qingqing quickly knotted Heluo's black hair on the top, and then put in a wig to wrap it with hair, and tied the hair in the shape of an ingot, while saying: "The little master's hair is really good, it doesn't take any effort to comb it up, and it doesn't leave your hands if it's slippery, this ingots bun is to comb out more hair to look good." He pulled up the hair on both sideburns and hung down naturally on both sides of his face, and put some broken hair on the side of his face naturally.
He Luo looked at it and was very satisfied, and praised: "I didn't expect you to move quite quickly, and you combed it without pulling my hair at all." Where did you use to run errands?"
"Back to the little master, the slave maid used to be the rough envoy palace maid of the Summer Palace, and she worked as an errand at the big palace maid next to Ning Shurong, because Sister Shuyao is very particular about tying her hair, so the slave maid has also practiced some skills. ”
He Luo smiled and didn't speak. A palace maid is so particular about her hair bun, this big palace maid next to Ning Shurong has a big heart, but I don't know if she knows it. He reached out and picked out a gilt chain decorated with mung bean sapphires, and let Qingqing tie it to the bun. I chose a blue lotus hairpin and inserted it in the center of the bun, with earrings of the same color. Heluo looked in the mirror and was very satisfied, the appearance of a delicate beauty. An Zhi and Ting Lan also praised on the side.
This is already the best jewelry that Heluo prepared for himself before entering the palace, but it must be just not worth mentioning in the eyes of others.
asked Tinglan to find a plain satin palace dress with pink blue embroidered lace with white silk thread and put it on. He Luo looked at the glasses, she was not outstanding but she was also cute and cute, and it was not enough for people to say that she was too plain. His family background is not obvious, and as soon as he enters the palace, he has a title among many family girls, and he has already provoked the eyes of others, so this audience cannot be outstanding.
Because Heluo is still a regular seven-grade man, naturally there is no guard of honor in the sedan chair, so he has to walk on his legs, thinking that after a while, he will shout to each other with the concubines and sisters he doesn't know, and Heluo shakes off goosebumps. Because Anzhi was not familiar with the rules of the palace, Heluo only brought Tinglan and instructed Anzhi to look inside the palace.
Heluo held Tinglan's hand, and naturally didn't dare to stop along the way, and when he arrived at Xingqing Palace, it was still early. Seeing that there was already a concubine's sedan chair parked at the door, Heluo thought in his heart: Just to have a means of transportation to do, he has to climb up quickly. In the voice of the eunuch's announcement, Heluo straightened his clothes and hair accessories, and entered the Chenghui Hall all the way.
But after standing for a while, the twenty show girls selected this year have arrived, and the old people in the palace are also sitting on the chairs according to their positions. However, after a while, the Chenghui Hall was already silent. Heluo didn't dare to look up, but he also found that there was no Pei Heyu, and with Pei Meiren's current grade, he must not be able to come to ask for peace every day.
"The Queen Mother has arrived. After waiting for a while, with the sharp voice of the chamberlain, the queen was dressed in a palace dress with black and gold silk patterns, and was surrounded by the palace maid and sat on the seat. Everyone got up and knelt down together, and said in a neat voice: "The queen is auspicious and safe." ”
The queen glanced at the people who worshipped, and did not immediately call to get up, but took a sip of fragrant tea, her eyes were full of satisfaction, this is the location of the main palace, and the beauties of the city will bow to her when they enter the palace.
Slowly glanced at everyone before he stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Sisters, you sisters are flat, you sisters came very early today." While he was talking, a eunuch came in at the door. knelt down to greet the queen, and said respectfully: "Queen Niangniang, the concubine Niangniang is unwell today, and the emperor asked the slave to come and say hello to the queen, and the concubine Niangniang is exempted from asking for peace today." ”
When the queen heard this, her eyes flashed, and she paused for a while before saying: "The palace knows, go back and let Zhang Guifei rest, she served the emperor very hard last night." Later, the main palace will let people take a look, so you can go down first. After saying this, the smile on his face was a little uncontrollable, and he didn't speak for a while. No one in the hall dared to interject, and the silence was terrifying.
After a while, he nodded to the big eunuch Guo Yingsheng beside him, and the eunuch walked forward and said to the new concubine: "All the little lords kowtow to the queen's mother. He Luo followed the concubines and bowed three times to the queen.
The queen accepted the salute, as if her mood had calmed down, and with a kind smile, she let the aunt beside her reward the concubines. Then he said: "Today, Zhang Guifei is in poor health, all the sisters should say hello to the rest of the sisters first." ”
Guo Yingsheng then shouted sideways: "All the little masters greet Concubine Liangniang." "Because it is a concubine who only worships one product, there is only one good concubine. Concubine Liang looked very gentle and virtuous, and just smiled lightly: "Sisters, get up." Then he commanded the maid beside him to reward something.
The queen then asked all the concubines to sit down, and Heluo breathed a sigh of relief as soon as she sat down, fortunately, there are not many high-ranking concubines, otherwise I don't know if I can walk back today. looked at his head again, and saw Shen Qingru, but he didn't see Ji Yulian, thinking that he was not selected.
When the little palace maids in Chenghui Hall served tea to the little masters, the queen opened her mouth quietly. "The younger sisters were elected to the palace this time, first, to serve the emperor wholeheartedly and extend the heirs for the royal family. The second is to be of one heart and one mind, and not to troublesome the emperor. Again, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has finished making the jade plates of your sisters, and it will be presented tonight, and your sisters are waiting for the summons. He glanced at the hourglass beside him, and then said: "It's not early, all the sisters go with the palace to say hello to the queen mother, and the palace won't say much." ”
When the concubines heard that they could already sleep, they were naturally overjoyed and a little shy, and hurriedly got up and saluted in unison: "Follow the queen's teachings, and the concubines will retire." ”
Heluo marched to Taiji Palace with the large army, who knew that after arriving, he did not see the Queen Mother, only because the Queen Mother had a head stroke again, and he was very sad, and he didn't want anyone to disturb his leisure, so he only let the grandmother around him reward something, and he had shown to celebrate the newcomer's entry into the palace.
The sun is already noon, and although it is spring, the daylight at noon is also a little uncomfortable. Heluo was a little sleepy, so he took Tinglan and slowly walked in the direction of his palace. Who would have expected that the first person to pick her thorn was not Heluo's new concubine who wanted to be like herself.
"Yo, which sister in the palace is this, why have I never seen it. Heluo heard the sound and looked over, only to see a woman dressed in a plain white palace dress walking towards this side, the woman looked no more than twenty-eight flowers, between her eyebrows and eyes were charming like water, and her smile was charming. In this palace, the posture is also considered to be in the middle and upper.
The woman asked, her eyes glancing at Heluo, but she couldn't tell what it was.
"Back to the little master, this is Luo Chang, the new recruit in this year's draft," the girl next to the woman hurriedly answered.
"Little Lord, this is a jade nobleman. Heluo was hesitating, but Qingqing beside him stepped forward and whispered to Heluo.
Heluo's expression was awe-inspiring when he heard this, and he was busy with lotus steps forward and said, "My sister has seen the jade nobleman, and the jade nobleman is auspicious. "The half-squat ceremony is very standard, but it makes people can't find faults.
Who would have thought that this jade nobleman didn't buy it, and he still looked smiling, but he just kept Heluo in a half-squatting posture and didn't wake up. "Luo Chang is looking at this rule and learning it well, but why can't he learn to see the shape clearly, huh?" The lingering sound of the last word is lingering, if it weren't for this environment, it would have been crispy to the bones.
Heluo understood that the comer was not good, and he didn't want people to find a basket in the words, so he had to receive: "Please also ask the jade nobleman to forgive my sister for being stupid, my sister doesn't know what the jade nobleman said." ”
"I heard that my sister only entered the palace yesterday, so I burst into tears, I was helping Pei Meiren to hold grievances. There was already a hint of sharpness in the words of the jade nobleman.
He Luo naturally understands that yesterday's incident was sued by this jade nobleman, and this jade nobleman was used as a gunman, but now that he is weak, this jade nobleman is afraid that he may not be able to listen to himself. I had to whisper: "My sister must have misunderstood, my sister just entered the palace yesterday and felt a little unwell, but it has nothing to do with my sister." ”
"Yesterday was an auspicious day that Qin Tianjian chose for your sisters, how could my sister be unwell, isn't this dissatisfied with the emperor and despising Huang En. My sister actually dared to talk back, and Chunliu slapped his mouth for me. ”
The words in front of the jade nobleman were still gentle and soft, and He Luo was still thinking about how to deal with it, but he didn't expect that he had already received a palm on his face, this palm thought that the maid used a lot of strength, and He Luo's tears fell uncontrollably on the spot, and Ting Lan hurriedly helped her, but the jade nobleman shouted loudly, saying that he wanted Ting Lan to turn over and slap his mouth together. He Luo's heart was cold, and he was already a little frightened, and hurriedly pushed Ting Lan away, and let her stand behind her in a stern tone. I didn't expect that there was really no room for people hiding in this harem, and I was angry in my heart, and I was thinking about waving away this palm-mouthed girl's hand.
Behind him, there was a woman's coquettish shout: "Stop, who is making trouble in front of you?" I could only hear the maids behind me saluting one after another: "Ying noble person is auspicious." Only then did I know that it was Song Caiyi, the sister of the concubine.
Ying Guiren and Yu Guiren bowed to each other, and He Luo knew that it was the big palace maid beside Ying Guiren who asked just now, "I don't know what Luo Chang is doing, my sister wants to punish her like this, it is better for my sister to look at my sister's thin face and spare Luo Chang." Ying Guiren asked, and pleaded for Heluo in a determined tone.
Seeing this, Yu Guiren hurriedly said: "It's just that Luo Changzai's words and deeds are a little rude, and my sister taught her, since Sister Ying interceded, how could my sister not allow it." Although she is favored, the forces behind her are not enough to look at Song Caiyi, and she is very jealous in her words. Seeing that Song Caiyi was Baoding Heluo, he hurriedly said a few words and left. Seeing that he was leaving, Ying Guiren hurriedly asked Tinglan to help Heluo up.
"Heluo, thank you Sister Ying for saving her life. Heluo sobbed as he stood up.
Ying Guiren saw that because she was young, she had already shed tears after a few palms, and the pear blossoms did not bring rain, but she was full of childish sadness that the little girl had been wronged, and she had a little more pity in her heart, and asked a few words to let the maid around her go to the imperial doctor, and let Heluo go back quickly.
Outside the Taihe Hall of Weiyang Palace
After a eunuch made a report, he bowed down and held a plate of jade plaques and waited for the summons.
"Your Majesty," Zhao Su, the chief eunuch, stepped forward and whispered to Emperor Wu, who was watching the excerpts, "It's getting late, it's time to turn over the cards." ”
Emperor Wu raised his head and pinched the bridge of his nose with his hand. The angular face looks unusually handsome in the light of the candlelight. He commanded, "Bring it up." ”
The eunuch carrying the sign hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and presented the sign in front of him.
Emperor Wu raised his eyes and asked, "Didn't you say that all the jade plates have been made, why don't you have a brand that Luo Chang is in?"
Zhao Su, as the chief manager, has countless things in hand every day, but he has to leave an impression on everything, so he was afraid that the emperor would ask, but he didn't expect the emperor to ask about a Chang who had just entered the palace. hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, Luo Chang is sick and it is inconvenient to sleep." Without waiting for Emperor Wu to ask, he hurriedly told Heluo about his encounter with the Jade Guiren.
When Emperor Wu heard this, he was silent for a while, then reached out and flipped over a sign, "Just her." There was a hint of coldness in his tone. Zhao Su saw that it was a jade nobleman, because he followed Emperor Wu when he was a child, although he didn't know why he remembered a constant presence, but this jade nobleman. Zhao Su shook his head.
The tray eunuch saw that Emperor Wu had turned over the sign and withdrew after withdrawing and shouted: "Today, the Yulu Hall is in charge of the lamp." ”。
