Chapter 317: The Virtuous Queen of the Country
This little episode of Aunt Liu's Tuogu did not delay for too long.
Feng Shujia looked at Xiao Ji, who carefully sent someone to take care of Xiao Nannan, although she had many questions in her heart, she also knew that this was not the time to ask, so she led the seven embroidery girls to Princess Shouyang's mansion first.
Because Princess Shouyang wanted to save face for Feng Shujia, she specially came forward to receive a few embroidery girls, and gave a few words of advice kindly, so she asked Feng Shujia to ride in the same carriage with her and walked towards the palace unhurriedly.
Several embroiderers rode in a wide and bright carriage, and the servants of the princess's mansion were responsible for taking care of the arrangements.
On the way, Princess Shouyang carefully talked to Feng Shujia about the rules of the palace: "...... Lie down and sit down, greet you with courtesy, these rules have been taught to you by Mama Yan a long time ago...... Today, I personally sent these embroidery girls to the knitting bureau, and they will not dare to embarrass you...... After sending them over, you and I will go to Kunning Palace to meet the imperial sister-in-law. Don't worry, the imperial sister-in-law is a very good person, and she won't embarrass you......"
Princess Shouyang chattered, in addition to mentioning the taboo etiquette in her palace, she said more comforting words, obviously worried that she was too nervous.
Feng Shujia was moved, and she could only listen carefully to the silent memory to thank Princess Shouyang for her heart.
In her previous life, as the wife of the prince of Zhongshan Bofu, Feng Shujia also had the opportunity to enter the palace every year to ask for peace, but at that time, Mrs. Cui was saying goodbye to her stepson Li Jing, so she naturally would not give her the opportunity to show off as the eldest daughter-in-law.
Even so, Feng Shujia is also a little familiar with this palace, not completely unfamiliar, and as for the palace rules, she knows a lot - lest she be accidentally calculated by the Cui family.
Coupled with Mama Yan's personal teaching in the past few days, Feng Shujia felt that she was very familiar with the etiquette taboos in the palace, so she didn't feel uneasy.
However, as soon as Cai Lu entered the palace for the first time, his face turned pale with nervousness, his hands were clenched together, his lips were pursed, and he didn't dare to say a word with his head hooked, for fear that he would make a mistake and not say anything about his own crimes, and then he would affect Feng Shujia.
Seeing this, Feng Shujia took advantage of the unpreparedness, quietly patted Cai Lu's hand, and comforted him silently.
Cai Lu was afraid that Feng Shujia would worry about her, so she raised her head and squeezed out a smile.
She figured out that when the time came, she just had to follow Mama Yan, and she would say less and do less to inquire about everything, and be sure to pretend to be a wooden stake who could walk and listen to orders.
Soon the carriage stopped.
Outside, the shrill and obedient voice of the inner servant sounded: "The slave maid is to the princess and ask for peace." ”
When Princess Shouyang heard this, she laughed and said to Feng Shujia: "This is the little father-in-law Liu of Kunning Palace, I think the imperial sister-in-law sent him to pick us up." ”
"The Queen Mother is really charitable. Feng Shujia praised with a smile, said that, got off the carriage first, and personally helped Princess Shouyang off the bench.
Sure enough, two sedan chairs had already been prepared at the palace gate, and a little eunuch with a white and round face was standing aside, and when he saw them coming down, he hurriedly came forward to bow and salute.
Princess Shouyang said with a smile: "It's just to send a few embroidery girls to the knitting bureau, let's just go by ourselves, the imperial sister-in-law also sent you to pick it up, and it is too exciting to move the crowd." ”
Xiao Liu's father-in-law replied with a smile on his face: "What the queen mother means is to let the slave maid lead these embroidery girls to report to the knitting bureau, and it also saves the princess and Miss Feng from having to run this trip in person." ”
Princess Shouyang smiled when she heard this, and looked at Feng Shujia for advice.
The event was organized by Feng Shujia, and the people were also recommended by Feng Shujia to bring them into the palace, so what to do, naturally I had to ask her opinion.
For Feng Shujia, Princess Shouyang has always loved and indulged.
Feng Shujia smiled and said: "Thank you for the queen's love and care, in this way, there will be Lao Liu's father-in-law." ”
As he spoke, he gestured with his eyes.
Cai Lu understood, hurriedly stepped forward and handed over a purse, and said with a smile: "I'm tired of my father-in-law running this trip." ”
Sending the selected embroidery girl to serve in the Knitting Bureau was the grace that Princess Shouyang specially asked her for, and this time Queen Yang specially sent Xiao Liu's father-in-law to help take people to report to the Knitting Bureau.
Xiao Liu's father-in-law hurriedly excused himself and said, "Don't dare, don't dare." ”
Seeing this, Princess Shouyang said with a smile: "Since it is a piece of Miss Feng's heart, you can accept it!"
Xiao Liu's father-in-law accepted the purse and politely bowed to Feng Shujia to thank him.
Princess Shouyang instructed Mama Yan and Gonggong Xiao Liu to send people to the Knitting Bureau to report together, and she and Feng Shujia each took a sedan chair and went directly to Kunning Palace to meet Queen Yang.
Along the way, the palace walls were lonely.
When the sedan chair stopped at the gate of Kunning Palace, Feng Shujia helped Cai Lu to get off the sedan chair, followed behind Princess Shouyang, and went directly to the main hall to meet Queen Yang.
Along the way, some palace maids bent their knees to greet Princess Shouyang when they saw it, but they all had smiles on their faces, obviously very familiar - it can be seen that Princess Shouyang is a frequent visitor to Kunning Palace, and has a very harmonious relationship with Queen Yang's sister-in-law.
Before arriving at the door of the main hall, Mama Yang greeted her with a smile.
Mama Yang is the nurse of Queen Yang, and she is in charge of all the trivial matters of Kunning Palace, and she is quite trusted and relied on by Queen Yang.
Feng Shujia didn't dare to slack off, and when Mama Yang gave her a salute, she turned sideways and said with a smile: "Don't dare to have Mama Lao to greet her." ”
Mama Yang smiled heartily and said, "The princess is in Kunning Palace as if she is in her own house, since Miss Feng has the princess's eyes, she is not an outsider, and she does not have to be restrained in this Kunning Palace." ”
In this way, Mama Yang, a nursing mother, didn't dare to say it to people casually, it can be seen that it was what Queen Yang meant, but she just said it through Mama Yang's mouth.
Feng Shujia thanked her with a smile again, followed Princess Shouyang all the way into the main hall.
The hollow carved windows, the vermilion tall columns, the heavy curtains, the majesty and preciousness, all show the honor of the queen of the phoenix.
However, the atmosphere in the hall is very relaxed and harmonious, the palace maids have smiles on their faces, and their behavior is free and casual and not excessive, which shows the gentle and easy-going temperament of their masters.
has never seen Queen Yang, Feng Shujia first has a good impression in her heart.
It seems that the Empress Yang, who was praised by everyone in the previous life, has both ability and political integrity, grace and luxury, and is gentle and graceful, really lives up to her reputation.
So later, after Pan Yuer entered the palace, she was promoted all the way, and finally replaced her, only to be criticized by so many literati.
And later, because of the appearance of Pan Yuer, the successor who flattered the lord with beauty and fawned to the country in the eyes of everyone, in contrast, the courtiers and the people admired and remembered Queen Yang who was good at words and deeds, whether it was recorded in official history or sung by the people, they all evaluated her as the virtuous queen of the country.
