Chapter Twenty-Six: The Day of Joy

"This Hu Guifei is the sister of Hu Fang, the general who protects the country. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" teaches my aunt.

Qin Lun lowered his head and pondered: That's it. One of the two concubines is a civil official, and the other is a relative of a military general, and the emperor and the queen mother are very good at balancing the relationship between the harem and the previous dynasty.

Aunt Jiaoyin continued: "In addition to the two concubines, there are four imperial concubines next, namely Concubine Run, Concubine Ping, Concubine Zhen and Concubine Chu. Concubine Niangniang is a Goryeo princess, sent to the Central Plains since she was a child, and raised in the Central Plains, she is no different from other Niangniang except for Goryeo blood. Concubine Ping has been with the emperor for the longest time, and has served the emperor since she was a child, and the emperor trusts her very much, and loves to discuss many things with her. Concubine Zhen is the emperor's most cherished concubine, so she was given the title 'Zhen'. And this Concubine Chu is full of poetry and books, and can sing and dance, and was cited by the emperor as a confidant. ”

Qin Lun listened carefully and said that Concubine Run, Concubine Ping, and Concubine Chu were able to seal the concubines for a reason, and they were all reasonable, but this concubine Zhen was very simple to teach her aunt to explain, how much the emperor cherished her, and what was the reason for cherishing her, Aunt Chu did not explain.

Qin Lun thought for a while, and asked sideways: "Then dare to ask my aunt, what is the order of the eldest and youngest of these four mothers?"

Teach her aunt to say: "Concubine Ping is the eldest, and then Concubine Run, Concubine Chu, and Concubine Zhen." ”

After listening to this, Qin Lun nodded, thinking that this concubine Zhen might be favored because she was young and in her prime, and she would listen to her aunt and talk about it.

Aunt Jiaoyin continued: "After talking about the four concubines, let's talk about the six concubines to the county lord." These six mothers are: Ming Concubine, Jin Concubine, Song Concubine, Shu Concubine, Li Concubine and Wei Concubine, of which the first four Niangniang are all titled.

It was said earlier that the four concubines and six imperial aunts sat on the side and didn't dare to say much, but when it came to the six concubines, she just spoke.

"I was fortunate to have seen these girls, and the beauty of the concubines and concubines was really amazing. ”

Aunt Jiaoyin nodded yes.

Qin Lun didn't dare to talk about it, so he only buried his head in listening. Aunt Jiaoyin said that she had fulfilled her duties at this point, and the Sixth Emperor's sister-in-law gave her some silver and told her to go down.

Qin Lun thought to himself, this aunt is really tight-lipped, isn't it the same as not saying it? This reward is too easy to earn. However, the Sixth Emperor Aunt is just looking at the face of the Sixth Emperor Uncle, and the process is gone, and the matter will be completed. Qin Lun didn't want to inquire much, so he had to secretly memorize the words of his aunt below, and everything could only be slowly pondered after entering the palace when he saw the faces of all the mothers.

Three days later, it was the Duanyang Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the day when Qin Lun entered the palace. Qin Lun got up early in the morning and dressed up, and the Sixth Emperor Uncle personally sent her out of the house, and carried Qin Lun into the palace from the side gate of the Forbidden City by a sedan chair.

Qin Lun sat in the sedan chair and staggered, only to feel that the gold headdress on his head weighed about ten catties, which made his head sink in a panic, and the space in the sedan chair was cramped and stuffy, and the whole person felt out of breath, and the sweat was also tired in the fragrant powder on his face. Qin Lun felt that in addition to his physical discomfort, he did not have the slightest excitement and joy of getting married.

Lianzhu walked outside the sedan chair, and Qin Lun kept lowering his voice and asked her:

"Where?"

"Have you arrived?"

Sometimes the sound of silk and bamboo outside is too noisy and chaotic, and Lianzhu can't hear Qin Lun's words. Qin Lun could only estimate the time and calculate the route by himself, but he had never been to this palace, and he didn't know how far it would be, when it would be there, everything could only be left to fate.

The sedan chair shook for more than half an hour, and finally stopped in a relatively quiet place, Qin Lun hurriedly tidied up the hijab and got off the sedan chair with the support of Xi Niang.

After getting off the sedan chair, Qin Lun couldn't see the road, he only felt that his eyes were red, the upper eyelids were the red of the hijab, and the red shoes of his own were under the eyelids.

When she came to the palace, it was not her groom who greeted Qin Lun, but the canonization officer. The canonization ceremony of the nobles was carried out first, and then everyone retreated, and Qin Lun entered the inner room with the support of Lianzhu and Xi Niang. Qin Lun didn't even see the room he was going to live in, so he was driven to a cramped bed and sat down. Xi Niang asked Qin Lun to sit on the edge of the bed and wait, but she didn't say anything, was she waiting for the emperor?

When the bride went out, Qin Lun grabbed Lianzhu's hand and asked her through the hijab, "Where are we?"

Lianzhu whispered to Qin Lun: "Miss, this is Chuxiu Palace." You entered the palace on the same day as the blessed nobleman, and she lived opposite you. ”

Hearing this, Qin Lun's mind sank, in this way, which nobleman's palace the emperor will go to at night has become the biggest suspense today, and it will inevitably become the talking point in the palace tomorrow. Whoever the emperor goes to first naturally means that the other will be left alone. Qin Lun didn't like to compete with others since he was born, not to mention that in the matter of flowers and candles in the cave room, he felt that Yi Xing Shan was so boring.

Soon it was noon, and it was Duanyang, Qin Lun couldn't stand the heat, so he lifted the hijab on his head. As soon as the hijab was lifted, Qin Lun only felt suddenly enlightened, the room he lived in now was not very spacious, and the decoration was very simple, but it was not as exquisite as his boudoir in Jiangzhou, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed. But it's no wonder that this palace is an iron-beaten emperor, and the concubines of flowing water, if everyone lives in a place where they have to dress up according to their own preferences, the money is still a trivial matter, but I am afraid that there are not so many people to do the work for you. Thinking of this, Qin Lun also understood why the concubines had to try their best to please the emperor since ancient times, because in this red wall, only the more favored by the emperor and the higher the rank, the greater the degree of freedom, for example, if Qin Lun is a concubine one day, she can have her own independent palace, and she can also repair the house according to her own preferences, which is the most realistic problem. Qin Lun fantasized about the scene of his entry into the palace countless times before entering the palace, but fantasy is just fantasy after all, and only after experiencing and facing things can he have a personal experience.

Qin Lun sat on the edge of the bed and thought nonsense, the encounter between her and Murong Min a few days ago was still like a dream, but the red palace wall on this side immediately tied her and Yingying together. Here, eating is not as good as at home, living is not as comfortable as at home, she doesn't know why there are so many girls who want to draft into the palace every year, how many of them are the hearts of these girls, and how many of them carry the mission of the glorious lintel.

Qin Lun was thinking about it, but he could only hear the sound of ritual music outside, probably because the musicians had also gone to eat. Chaohua brought the food in for Qin Lun to eat, Qin Lun only glanced at it, although the meal was not sumptuous, but it was also exquisite, a bowl of millet stewed sea cucumber, a cup of lotus seed soup, a plate of stir-fried vegetarian vegetables and a braised sea bass was finished, plus two red date zongzi was the reason for the Duanyang Festival. Qin Lun smiled bitterly, if it weren't for Qu Yuan's investment in Miluo River back then, I'm afraid that there would be no two zongzi today.

Qin Lun has never had any requirements for food, and he is not picky, so he buried his head in eating. Qin Lun had just eaten a few bites, only to see the curly grass come in with a black face.

Qin Lun was afraid that she would make trouble outside again, so he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Curly Cao snatched Qin Lun's chopsticks and said, "Miss, don't eat them!" You are eating these four dishes and one soup here, do you know what the Fu Guiren on the other side is eating? The delicacies of the mountains and seas on the table are all delicacies given by the Queen Mother. She also made a big deal about putting the dishes on the living room table, and everyone who came and went saw it. ”

Qin Lun was not annoyed when he heard this, took the chopsticks and continued to bow his head to eat. The grass is about to die: "Miss, you can eat this! The first meal was so bullying, how can you live in the future? If you swallow your anger like this, don't think that we are easy to bully." ”

Qin Lun didn't say anything, just buried his head in eating. Juan Cao wanted to continue, but Lianzhu came in with a curtain and hurriedly persuaded her to leave.
