Chapter 68: Fengyang
In the palace, there are also flowers, the red carpet has been spread from the palace gate to the front of the palace rooms, and the palace ladies and eunuchs in the inner court who come and go are shuttling non-stop, and there is a busy scene everywhere. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The officials' families are dressed up with their hearts today, after all, it is a very glorious thing to be able to enter the palace and knock on the grace of heaven, they don't want to be favored by the masters in the palace, but they can't smear their own adults' faces.
"Oh, isn't this Mrs. Li?" a woman in a red festive embroidered gown smiled when she saw someone she knew.
"Oh, Mrs. Wu, you're here too, just so let's be companions together. Mrs. Li hurriedly stepped forward to take her hand, "I haven't seen you for a few days, I heard that your daughter-in-law has given birth to a grandson, and several ladies and I are thinking of visiting your house tomorrow!"
Both of them are in their thirties and forties, Mrs. Li is a little rich, and Mrs. Wu has a well-proportioned figure, a white face, and looks very easy-going. The two got together to say this, and in a blink of an eye they arrived at the palace where the ladies were seated.
They sat down separately according to the arrangement of the palace maid, because their husbands were in similar positions, and they happened to be together, but they were not very restrained, and when they saw that there were familiar ladies next to them, they chatted together.
"I heard that Concubine Li Guifei is already pregnant with the imperial heir, and I have to congratulate Mrs. Li!"
"Yes, Concubine Li Guifei was pregnant after only three months in the palace, what a blessing!"
The ladies were chattering, sincere or hypocritical, with smiles, and although Mrs. Li's heart sank slightly, she was also full of spirit to bear it, so as not to lose etiquette and cause trouble to her nephew in the palace.
The women got together and talked about the children, and then they talked about whose family had taken a concubine, and the wives and concubines fought and made those jokes, and then the clothes and makeup, in short, before the main lord of the palace arrived, this group of women was chatting vigorously, and even the unmarried girls pricked up their ears to listen.
"Mrs. Gao has recognized another righteous son, have you seen it?"
"Isn't it Gao Yanai?" asked one of the ladies.
"No, this righteous son of the tall man looks like a handsome," the lady who spoke covered her mouth and whispered, "Compared to him, Gao Yanei is simply a heaven and an earth." ”
"Really?" the eyes of several ladies and ladies lit up.
"Well," the lady couldn't help but say a little proudly when she saw that she had attracted the attention of many people, "I heard from my family that the prince is very good-looking and very capable, and I heard that he was summoned by the emperor a few days ago and rewarded him with a lot of things!"
"Being able to enter the eyes of the emperor is really a great skill," one of the ladies sighed, she looked at her shy and lovely daughter, and thought in her heart, to be able to get married to Gao Taiwei, it would also be of great benefit to the future of her family.
Which of the ladies here is not a human spirit, and they don't say anything about it, but their hearts are turning fast.
"Hey, who is she?" said a young lady, with a hint of jealousy in her voice.
All the ladies turned their eyes to the door, and saw a woman in a blue dress walk in.
After a while, they felt that the palace was much quieter, and the woman passed in front of them without squinting, and sat down at the table in the third row under the arrangement of the palace maid.
"Who is this, don't you remember that there is her among the female dependents of the third-grade officials?" Many ladies wondered in their hearts, those dressed ladies stared at the blue back hatefully, how could she be like this?
Zi Ran sat next to Jin Lian on the small Ji Zi in the back, his eyes quickly swept over the people around him, and he was relieved after making sure that he was okay.
"Ziran, do you feel very hot?" Jin Lian picked up the teacup on the table and asked in a low voice, the things in this palace are different, the teacup in his hand is smooth and warm, and the cyan pattern is wrapped around the cup, which makes people forget to see it, if this thing is left in modern times, it is estimated that it will be at least one million.
"Girl, it's not hot in here, do you feel any discomfort?" Zi Ran said with some concern.
Jin Lian raised her head, and she had some confidence in her heart, "It's okay, I'm used to it now, by the way, Ziran, if the masters come later, where my etiquette is wrong, you must remind me!"
"Well, girl, don't worry, the adults have all taken care of it. ”
Okay, Jin Lian stabilized her mind, haven't you ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run? I've watched so many court dramas before, I should be able to do it by giving the emperor a salute.
It's just that in the face of more and more eyes, Jin Lian is quite uncomfortable, she doesn't want to attract the attention of so many people when she enters the palace, especially the meaning in the eyes of these people, so she has to cheer up and deal with it.
"The queen has arrived, and the concubine has arrived. The sharp voice of the eunuch in the inner court hovered above the palace, and Jin Lian also stood up with the crowd, doing the same, she would do what people did, and her position was not conspicuous anyway.
"Let's be even, everyone is flat, today is the national birthday, the palace invites all the ladies to come, but also to join in the fun, everyone does not have to be restrained. A dignified and majestic female voice came, Jin Lian secretly raised her head, and saw a woman in a red palace dress with a somewhat solemn face sitting above, next to a delicate woman in a pink palace dress, looking down with a smile.
"Queen Xie. All the ladies replied in unison, watching them all sit down, Jin Lian also lowered her head and sat down. She and Ziran tried their best to reduce their sense of existence, so if the people above didn't take a closer look, they really wouldn't notice her.
The queen's surname is Xu, and Huizong is only one year old, is the daughter of the Xu family of the Kyoto Wang family, married to the emperor for more than 20 years, there is only one son and one daughter under his knees, the son is the prince, nineteen years old this year, the daughter is named Fengyang, seventeen years old this year, is the emperor's favorite princess.
She looks dignified and abides by royal etiquette in her every move, but her expression is a little serious, not as amiable as the Li Guifei next to her.
Queen Xu said a lot of scenes, nothing more than the emperor read that the adults have worked hard, and hereby ordered all the adults to bring their families to congratulate the national birthday, have a tea party, and have a meal by the way, which can be regarded as a holy favor, all ladies must maintain their etiquette well, and do not let the royal family lose face on this solemn day.
Naturally, no one dared to disobey the words of the first lady, so after she finished speaking, the ladies and ladies below became nervous, and carefully asked the maids to look at their appearances to see if there was anything undignified and indecent.
Empress Xu looked at the reaction below, smiled slightly, and her face softened a lot.
"Niangniang, you see, the girls below have all kinds of flowers and moon appearances, and the emperor will be blessed again in the draft next spring. Li Guifei covered her small mouth and chuckled.
A hint of darkness flashed in Queen Xu's eyes, "The concubine is now pregnant with the imperial heir, and it is better to have fewer other thoughts, so as not to affect the development of the imperial heir, and when the time comes, not only me, but also the emperor will not be able to spare you." ”
Concubine Li was not angry, she just smiled shallowly, and said some words to compliment the prince and princess, which really softened Queen Xu's attitude a little.
"Mother, mother," a young girl in a big red dress ran out of the inner hall, but saw that she was sixteen or seventeen years old, and she looked very delicate, and her red body lit up the whole palace like a fire.
"Fengyang, why are you here?" As soon as Empress Xu saw her beloved daughter, she couldn't suppress a smile on her face.
Feng Yang pouted slightly, looking extremely angry on his face, "I want to find someone to come out, Queen Mother, you must help me later." ”
Empress Xu was slightly surprised, and her eyes swept to Fengyang's maidservant, who just lowered her head, her body trembling a little.
When Queen Xu saw it, she wanted the grandmother next to her to persuade the princess to go back first, but unexpectedly, before she could speak, she saw Fengyang shouting loudly at the family members below.
"Pan Jinlian, who is Pan Jinlian, stand up for me. ”
