Chapter 425: Piercing the Ear
Guo Wenying's name is that no one has introduced it and it has long been like thunder, and the noisy Golden Palace pillar collision incident a few days ago has long been rumored to be known to everyone in the streets and alleys, and even the three law divisions have been used to try her case, and the three halls will be tried, which is extremely rare in the Southern Qi court. I heard that since the establishment of the Southern Qi Dynasty, only three people have been tried by the three halls, and they have been tried in the Golden Palace, the first is the great eunuch Du Xinyu of the previous dynasty, the famous Du Gonggong, this person has done a lot of evil, confused the palace, and was finally divided by the five horses. The second is Dong Dahai, the first anti-thief of the imperial court when Emperor Jing was alive, this person successively served as the crown prince and the left minister of the cabinet, and almost subverted the Southern Qi court, and it is not an exaggeration to call him the first anti-thief.
And then the third is Guo Wenying, the reason why she can be treated the same as Du Gonggong and Dong Dahai is not because she does much evil, mainly because she is a woman, the first woman to serve as a third-grade official since the Southern Qi Dynasty, or I have never seen any woman who has ever been an official in the previous dynasty, and it is even more unique to have her official to be big. This alone is shocking enough, and it is enough for the world to remember her name.
There are many rumors about her in Beijing, and there are still multiple versions, but those are all before, and then I heard that she didn't die, and was assigned to Baoding Mansion by the emperor, but somehow worshiped Yu Ge Lao Yu Fengyang as a teacher, and now she has changed from a prisoner to a noble lady, and she swaggered out again?
Regarding Guo Wenying's disguising herself as a man to fight and be an official, the nobles in Beijing have mixed reviews, some say that she doesn't know what to say, and some praise her for fighting for women, but no matter what, her reputation is so loud that she is definitely the most popular woman in Beijing. Therefore, although these noble ladies did not want to see her in their hearts, they still greeted her kindly, and they had a bit of the affectionate gesture of elders.
But those young princesses and ladies are not so kind, a rough person who dresses up as a man all the year round, and it is just a matter of messing with the old men, but she still looks so standard, and she dresses better than them, the more she looks at it, the more uncomfortable it becomes. They were angry in their hearts, and they couldn't help pointing at her, and their words couldn't help but be sour.
Guo Wenying turned a blind eye to these noble girls, only when they were jealous, and when the Duchess went to meet the eldest princess, she walked to a remote place alone and waited for the harem to be seen.
As soon as she stood still, she saw Chu Tang's wife, the grandmother Fang walking towards this side, she saw Guo Wenying only nodded slightly, she was not too unfamiliar, but she didn't come over to talk affectionately.
Guo Wenying returned the salute, feeling that it was not a taste, and the grandmother from the front was affectionate to her in every way, and she really regarded her as her own family. Or because of Fang Yuntang's matter, there is a gap between her, and she refuses to treat each other as before.
Speaking of which, this is also to blame her, it was she who regretted her marriage first, and indirectly harmed the Fang family, if there was no relationship between her and Fang Yuntang, or the emperor would not have been so heavy at that time, would he have destroyed the foundation of the Fang family?
Guo Wanyun greeted several noble girls, turned her head and saw that her expression was a little wrong, and came over to ask, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Guo Wenying shook his head slightly, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard the bell ringing.
This is the bell for the foreign woman to enter the palace, and the ladies who were scattered on the side immediately cheered up, stood in two rows according to their grades, and slowly walked forward through the Cangzhen Gate with the palace people's shouting.
In Zhaoyang Palace, after the Empress Dowager Jiang has been promoted to the court, the first group is to see the princess. The eldest princess walked in the front, followed by Princess Changping, and then all the princesses rushed in and saluted the queen mother.
The Empress Dowager Jiang is dressed in the queen mother's formal dress today, wearing a phoenix crown and a phoenix robe, which is really luxurious, and the pearls and emeralds on her head are also very different from her usual simple appearance, she raised her hand slightly and ordered someone to show the eldest princess a seat.
The eldest princess is the aunt of the former emperor and the elder of the queen mother, so naturally she can't be lazy.
After the eldest princess sat down, she chatted with the queen mother for a few words, and said with a smile: "The first emperor was sick all the year round when he was alive, and there was nothing lively in this palace for the New Year, but this year is good, the new emperor ascends the throne, the new year has a new atmosphere, and we can also follow the excitement." ”
The Queen Mother laughed, "The eldest princess is right, but the harem is still a little deserted, and the emperor doesn't open the harem much, and it's really boring to have a few people with three melons and two dates." ”
The eldest princess said in her heart, Empress Dowager Jiang has something to say, doesn't she want me to come forward and let the emperor let a few more beauties enter the palace?
Empress Dowager Jiang secretly scolded "old treacherous and cunning", this eldest princess has gone through three dynasties, and she can be regarded as a human spirit. At this time, it was not the time to gossip, and it was not convenient to talk about it, so people hurriedly announced that the princesses of the various provinces and the women of the palace would meet them.
This is the second batch of court meetings, mainly by the princesses and daughters of each palace, as well as the daughters of the daughters in each house, all of whom are entertained by the harem concubines and the female officials who are on errands in the palace.
Everyone entered the Zhaoyang Palace, bowed and bowed, and the Queen Mother exchanged a few words of greetings with a few people who were usually close, and then began to respond to the elders' instructions.
The queen said solemnly: "During the New Year, everyone should celebrate happily, but don't be too idle." My dynasty family law is strict, women should know how to manage the family, first of all, will do needlework, all the emperor's clothes and shoes, are made by the queen and the concubine herself. Although the emperor has not been established, the gift of the harem cannot be abolished, and the palace sees that the princess, the county lord and the daughters of each house are happy and flashy, not to mention skillful cutting, and even doing needlework does not seem to be their own business. How can it be good to always sit back and enjoy what you have done in the future? Today, I will ask you to cut one piece of clothing and come out, and you will be given two days to work. ”
Every year, the elders in the palace give instructions, and it is nothing more than to be a female celebrity, carrying a female ring or something. These are all old words in the palace, this set every year, every year than knitting, although the queen mother said harshly, but there is nothing new. After listening to this, everyone talked and laughed again.
However, some women heard the queen mother's decree, and immediately sweated with fright, because they knew their daughter's needlework skills, and they felt cold when they took it out.
Empress Dowager Jiang ordered the prepared clothes to be placed on the case along with the needlework basket. She said: "After the work, you can go to the stage to watch the play, the princess and the ladies of the various mansions only watch the play today, and you are limited to do it on the 26th and 27th." Don't panic. ”
The eldest princess and the eldest princess are elders, and they don't have to participate in this kind of competition, the number of princesses born to the emperor is very small, and only Qile and Ning Le Yunying are unmarried among the royal princesses, but unfortunately they are nine years old and thirteen years old.
