Chapter 293
Seeing Fu Mingxuan leave, Yueniang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Fu Jingshu and Zhuling behind her, and said, "Brother is gone, let's go to line up too." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Fortunately, Fu Mingxuan is gone, otherwise I don't know when I will have to wait. Seeing that the queue at the gate of the palace was getting longer and longer, Yueniang's heart was also anxious, it wouldn't be noon, and it wouldn't be their turn, right?
Fu Jingshu nodded hurriedly: "Yes, sister, let's go quickly, there are more and more people queuing up over there." β
Yueniang took Fu Jingshu and the two maidservants to line up together, although only the names of the ladies were written on the invitation, but because everyone would bring a maid when they went out on weekdays, the queen also authorized each lady to bring a personal maid, but only one, otherwise it would look very messy.
Of course, everyone obeys this rule, and it would be good to be able to bring one, and on such a big occasion, who doesn't want everyone in the family to come? Not to mention being able to see the emperor and the queen, if one of the daughters of their own family is taken by a certain prince, it means that their family may have to fly on the branches as phoenixes.
However, this is only for those who have a small official position and a low status to think so much in their hearts, for a minister like Fu Ruiyuan, as long as the two daughters don't cause trouble in the palace, it's already good, as for the prince, Fu Ruiyuan doesn't want his daughter to marry into the palace.
Because Fu Ruiyuan couldn't be clearer, although marrying into the palace can enjoy the glory and wealth, although he can have endless power, it also means that he has lost his freedom, and he has to survive in the palace all day and night, and he is guarded day and night.
In this place of the palace, the people in the palace cannot leave the palace without the emperor's or the queen's edict, and even if the queen wants to leave the palace, there must be a sufficient reason to do it, otherwise even if she is out of the palace, when she goes back, if she is discovered by the emperor, and there is no good reason, she will be punished.
As a queen, she can't never go back to the palace for the rest of her life, right? What kind of queen is she still going to be, and what palace does she have to enter, besides, if she doesn't return to the palace, she will be discovered by the emperor, and what will greet her is an overwhelming killing, and the emperor will definitely not let go of a queen who escapes from the palace without permission, and this country does not need a queen who does not follow the laws of the country and leaves the palace without permission.
Therefore, the palace is not a place where you can come and go when you want, some people will not be able to enter the palace for the rest of their lives, and some people will not be able to escape if they want to leave the palace for the rest of their lives.
The palace is a cage, a shackle, those who want to enter the palace, or want to send their daughters into the palace, are ambitious people, and Fu Ruiyuan only hopes that his children can be healthy and grow up happily, Fu Ruiyuan himself is used to seeing the battle of the royal family, and is used to seeing the movement of power, so he naturally does not want his children to be involved in this battle.
Fu Jiayue and Fu Jingshu stood at the end of the line, and after only a while, the two of them were originally at the end of the line, but now at a glance, there was a long list of people behind the two.
"There are so many people...... "Yueniang couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, sister, this is the garden party held by the queen's mother, there must be a lot of people, but it will be good to enter the palace later, and the daughters of officials below the third grade do not need to visit the queen's mother, and there will be fewer people at that time." Fu Jingshu said to Fu Jiayue in an orderly manner.
This regulation was also newly formulated by the queen mother yesterday, because the queen mother also thought of this, there must be a lot of people at that time, if the queen mother is all received, it will definitely be seen for a long time, how can the queen mother have so much time to meet the daughters of those low-grade officials.
Besides, they only have one morning, and one morning is definitely not enough to meet so many people, and it is precisely because of this that your girl has set such a rule, of course, this rule is only for today.
After today, don't talk about the daughters of those low-level officials, even the daughter of the prime minister has to have a decree to enter the palace, and the queen mother will naturally be idle, if you want to see all these people who come to the palace, I am afraid that you will not be able to see them all day.
"So that's the case, and there is this rule?" Fu Jiayue naturally didn't know this rule, she didn't care about this kind of thing, a few days ago because of Xie Bai's matter, she stayed in the mansion for several days and didn't leave the house, so she naturally didn't understand the source of the news.
Fu Jingshu nodded hurriedly: "That's right, it's the rules that the queen mother set for today, do you think, if so many people come, the queen mother will see them all one by one, don't you want to tire her to death? Besides, there is not so much time, only one morning, seeing so many people, where can I have time?"
"You have a point. Fu Jiayue also nodded.
At this moment, the old eunuch in front spoke: "Next, ladies, can we chat after lining up and entering the palace?" There are too many people here, and the old slave also wants to finish as soon as possible, the sun will rise later, it will be very hot, and the young ladies' skin is so delicate, I'm afraid they don't want the sun to burn, right?"
The old eunuch's words successfully made some of the young ladies who were chatting speed up their pace, yes, their skin is pampered, and they are taking good care of it every day, and there are even young ladies who are more particular, and they will soak in the bath with fresh milk, saying that they can take care of their skin, and I don't know where they heard it.
The old eunuch's words played an obvious role, the line behind him became longer and longer, and there were fewer and fewer people in front, after all, these ladies didn't want the sun to burn their skin, and the young lady who was a little attentive also held an umbrella to block the sun.
Fu Jiayue raised her head and glanced at the sky, the sun had not yet risen, and she could only see half of the face of her father-in-law from a distance.
Soon, it was Yueniang and Fu Jingshu's turn, the old eunuch took the invitation letter from the two, glanced at the appearance of the two, and let the two enter the palace.
finally entered the palace, but Yueniang's mood did not dare to relax at all, because she still remembered what Fu Mingxuan said to herself, after entering the palace, there will be a special maid to lead her to the palace of the queen mother to see the queen mother.
The queen mother is the most powerful existence in the harem, and it is also the existence of one person under one person and above ten thousand people in this palace.
After entering the palace, sure enough, there was a little maid who was waiting, and when she saw Yueniang and Fu Jingshu, she immediately stepped forward: "Is this Fu Jiayue, Miss Fu?"
Yueniang is very puzzled, do different people need different maids to lead the way?
"I'm ...... Who are you?" Yueniang was very puzzled in her heart, so she asked.
"I was sent by the third prince to pick up Miss Fu, the third prince instructed the slave maid, after receiving Miss Fu, he took Miss Fu directly to him, and the third prince also said that he had already said hello to the queen mother, and Miss Fu didn't have to go to the queen mother to wait. β
The little maid's etiquette is very thoughtful, but think about it, the maid who can stay in the palace for so long must not underestimate her.
Yueniang nodded, it is good not to see the queen mother, and it saves so much etiquette, Yueniang does not like to kneel around, and when she sees the queen mother, in order to express her respect for the queen mother, the salute must be a big salute.
"Okay, but ...... Did the third prince say why?" Yueniang promised the little maid: "By the way, this is my sister, Fu Jingshu, I don't know if I can take her to the third prince with me?"
"Of course you can, two Miss Fu, please here. The little maid walked in front and led the way, and the people who entered the palace after Yueniang just now had a look of envy and jealousy in their eyes when they heard that the third prince was going to take Yueniang over.
The little maid walked in front, and did not forget to explain to Yueniang: "Because you can only eat at noon, it means that these young ladies will stay in the queen's palace all morning." The third prince said that Miss Fu would definitely not be able to stand this kind of boring days, so she directly asked the slave maid to take Miss Fu to the place of the third prince, by the way, Miss Fu, you can call the slave maid Hongyuan. β
Yueniang nodded: "Hongyuan, this name is really good." β
Hong Yuan smiled very helpfully: "The third prince said, Miss Fu is very good at talking, it seems to be true." β
Fu Jiayue looked at Hongyuan's smile, and her mood became better, she was worried about going to see the queen mother, because she didn't know what kind of person the queen mother was, when Yueniang entered the palace before, she only saw Han Guifei and didn't see the queen mother, so she was also very in awe of the character of the queen mother.
If you can't see nature or don't see it, Yueniang doesn't want to kneel and bow to the queen, this kind of gift she has only done to the emperor so far, for other concubines, it is only sideways, the meaning is good, the general concubine will not pick this kind of problem, however, if you meet a mean concubine, she wants to find your fault, even if you kneel down to salute her, she will still say that your etiquette is irregular.
The three of them passed a rockery, the rockery was very high, Yueniang looked up, and lost interest, she didn't like to climb the mountain, and she didn't like such a high place, which always made Yueniang feel unsafe.
"Miss Fu, go this way. Hongyuan made a gesture of "please", because there was a small pavilion over there, and the road was not easy to walk, so she had to go around, so Hongyuan let Fu Jiayue and Fu Jingshu go another way.
Fu Jiayue nodded, then followed Hongyuan over, and took Fu Jingshu's hand behind her: "Sister, be careful." "It's true that the road here is not easy to walk, but this is also the closest road to the residence of the third prince.
"This road was newly opened not long ago, because the prince said that there were too many flowers and plants here, so he asked the workers to remove all the flowers and plants here, and paved such a road, but the road has not yet been completed, so it is not easy to walk, and the two Miss Fu are careful under their feet. β
Hongyuan kindly reminded Fu Jiayue and Fu Jingshu, this move made Fu Jiayue's heart have a good impression of Hongyuan, this little girl and she don't know each other, but she can still be so good to herself, and she can still think of herself in this situation, which is really touching.
However, Yueniang was not easily moved, after all, she also knew that Hongyuan was just ordered by the third prince Zhao Mingqi, but this kind of kindness, Yueniang will not refuse, Yueniang will not refuse anyone's kindness to people who are good to her, of course, Yueniang will also keep these kindnesses in her heart silently.
A few people walked for a while, at this time the sun had risen very high, Yueniang's forehead faintly had sweat drops, Yueniang didn't care, stretched out her sleeves, wiped her forehead, Zhuling behind her saw this scene, and carefully walked to Yueniang's side.
"Miss, this is a handkerchief, don't wipe your sweat with your sleeves anymore, this is the palace, have you forgotten what the lord told you before you came......" Zhu Ling's heart was very worried, looking at Yueniang's big grinning appearance, her heart was even more worried.
She is always afraid that Yueniang will cause something, this is the palace, it is not as good as being in Fu Mansion, Fu Mansion is very respectful to Yueniang, and she is not afraid of causing trouble, besides, in Fu Mansion, there is Fu Mingxuan to protect her, and Fu Ruiyuan to pet her, who dares to find Yueniang's moldy head?
And this is the palace, not the Fu Mansion, even Fu Ruiyuan can't be the master here, and he can't even speak to the palace......
Thinking of this, Zhu Ling's heart was terrified again, fortunately there were only a few of them here, otherwise it would be troublesome......
If outsiders see Yueniang like this, they will definitely make a fuss, and even spread it, then Yueniang's reputation will be ruined like this, although Yueniang doesn't care about her reputation, but Zhuling can't care less.
Yueniang took the handkerchief and nodded helplessly at Zhuling, Yueniang also knew that Zhuling was for her own good, so she took the handkerchief in her hand and continued to walk forward.
"Hongyuan, how far is it?" The more she walked, the hotter it became, Yueniang finally couldn't help it and asked.
"The red-brick and green-tiled palace in front of you is it. Hongyuan was not angry, and patiently replied to Yueniang.
Yueniang looked in the direction that Hongyuan said, and it was indeed a very solemn and gorgeous palace, however, in Yueniang's opinion, these palaces all looked the same, there was no difference, and after sparing such a big circle here, Yueniang was about to leave in a daze, and the palace was really big.
After walking for a while, I finally came to the door of the palace of the three princes, and when I arrived at the palace of the three princes, Yueniang was very curious to look east and west, and the third prince Zhao Mingqi looked at Yueniang like this, with great interest, and did not interrupt, but Zhuling behind Yueniang felt that something was wrong, how could she go to someone else's room to see it like this, so she was behind Yueniang, so she pulled Yueniang's clothes.
