Chapter 4 Indisputable
From the matter of whether Lu Ji entered the palace or not, it can indeed be seen that the relationship between the emperor and the queen mother is not good.
The queen mother didn't want to keep her, but the emperor wanted to keep her name and leave a card.
The celebrant eunuch came to Lu's house to announce the second holy decree, and asked her to enter the palace at three o'clock on the fifteenth day of this month.
This day is the eighth day of the first lunar month.
Coming out of the Lu family, the eunuch went to the Bai Mansion and the Xue Mansion again.
Lu Ji asked someone to inquire, and those who went to Baifu came back and said that Bai Jin'er was also selected.
The other came back and said that the eldest lady of the Xue family, Miss Xue Ru, had already announced her will to be selected the day before yesterday, and now she made another decree, saying that "Brother Nian Huang is young, and I hereby refer to Zhong Ling's virtuous and virtuous girl, although she is young and long, she is calm and long", and pointed her to the king of Qijun.
A little older?
Indeed, Sister Xue is already eighteen years old, and her birthday month is young, so she is probably the oldest among the original show girls.
The emperor clearly objected to the queen mother's insistence on letting herself enter the palace and embarrassing the queen mother, and pointed out to him the Xue family's beautiful girl, who was older than the king of Qijun, and said what to say, "Be calm and hopeful".
I slapped both sides of the face at once, and it was really amazing.
It seems that the emperor is also a person who has revenge and revenge.
Lu Ji quit yesterday before he could see him clearly, but now he is interested in him.
"It's a pity that Miss Ru, her temperament is also docile, and her appearance is good, if she doesn't marry at such a big age, she is counting the age of the saint and waiting for the election to enter the palace, who knows, ......"
Zhou sighed, very pitiful to Xue Ru, "It's all because of the middle of the family." β
"It's good to be a prince and a blessing. Zhou's roommate, Lai's mother, slapped her shoulder and said comfortingly.
Lu Ji watched the moon gradually become fuller, and her mother took the family to busily pack up for her entry into the palace.
For Miss San, except for a little reluctance and envy, no one seems to pay attention to her loss.
Lu Ji thought he was smart, but now he felt that he had calculated himself.
She instinctively felt that the emperor insisted on letting her into the palace not because he liked her much, but because this matter was used to take revenge on the queen mother and his son who occupied his biological mother's magpie's nest, and to give those who tried to snatch something from him a dismount, which was really a good topic for making a fuss.
The Queen Mother is not easy to deal with, and neither is her future "husband".
As for the group of show girls who entered the palace at the same time, I don't know if they are more scheming like Bai Jin'er, or are they more slaughtered like that little show girl?
Lu Ji instructed Tingqi to tell Master SΓΉ Mi about his entry into the palace, and he leaned on the curved railing of the garden pavilion, looking at the grass and trees in Lu Jiayuan's garden, with a bright full moon reflected on it.
Her mother told her: "If you can't fight for it, let it go, my mother only needs your life." β
She has worked hard for more than ten years, although her status in the family is no different from that of the Yin family back then, but in her husband's heart, she is still no better than a dead person.
Thoughts in green.
Anyway, Lu Ji has made up his mind and will not fight.
The waiter came over and whispered in her ear, "Third Miss, Uncle Xue is here." β
Lu Ji frowned, a little surprised that Xue Fang would come to her again on the eve of his entry into the palace.
I haven't seen Xue Fang lose weight for a few days, and his face and body are sloppy and untidy.
Only when the old injury has not healed makes his actions a little restrained and cringe, can people be convinced that this is indeed Uncle Xue, who was in the past dominant.
Uncle Xue came to intercede, and knelt down as soon as he saw Lu Ji.
Lu Ji stepped back vigilantly, and asked people to pull him up.
Is this reckless man here to make trouble?
Xue Fang cried profusely, saying that his father was stripped of his position, and when he learned that his sister was defeated, he was humiliated, and he couldn't afford to be sick.
has no money, no power, no status, and I don't know how to handle the future.
He kowtowed to Lu Ji a few times, and said: "I beg my mother to be good, ask the emperor to intercede, and spare our Xue family! Although I was not good in the past, my father and my mother were extremely good to my mother, and they were better than my own son, Niangniang......
Lu Ji looked at his virtue, it was really pitiful.
Master Xue and Mrs. Xue are indeed good to her, but now that Master Xue is gone, the Xue family is in trouble, and they have a lot to do with themselves, so they should help her.
So he asked Tingqi to go to the treasury and quietly gave him a hundred taels of silver, and replied to the old man Aunt Zhou.
Aunt Zhou sat up from the bed and recited the scriptures all night, to help her daughter who was about to get married get rid of her sins.
Although Lu Ji looked down on him like a wretch, he was also sad and ashamed.
Xue Fang received the silver, and said: "The silver is a small matter, and I ask the mother to plead again in front of the emperor, and let our Xue family have a way to live." β
No one in the poor Xue family can hold it up.
The waiter couldn't stand it, so he took a sip and said, "Who does Uncle Xue call a lady to? Isn't this harming our young lady?"
"Niangniang" is called the concubines from the second rank and above, and those who are not can only be called "little master".
Even the maids around her know the etiquette, but this young master from Houmen doesn't know it, which shows that he is shameless and stubborn.
On the second day, Zhou personally pulled a phoenix bun for Lu Ji.
Although this time I entered the palace to learn etiquette rather than get married, I am afraid that this is the only time for my daughter to officially go out of this mother's house.
Therefore, except for the phoenix crown and xiaxia, the Lu family has a qiΔ number of rites according to the marriage, and the people who cry and marry have already been arranged along the way.
As soon as Lu Ji went out, someone cried loudly, and she was sad from crying.
Although it is beautiful, after all, it is the only daughter who is married, and Zhou has long been unable to cry.
Mother Zhu took Lu Lian to throw flowers and petals for her, which means "Huanxiang", wishing the bride a good reputation in her mother-in-law's family.
Sister Lu Xuan met everyone's eyes and led her to the palace sedan chair.
Lu Zhengqing waited for her to stand still, and took his family to pay a big gift, "Weichen sends the little master, may the little master be blessed and safe!"
Lu Ji choked up, said "no courtesy" and went to help his parents and the sick Aunt Liu.
The two aunts have always been kind, and she doesn't have to worry about her family.
Lu Zhengqing helped her into the sedan chair and said: "The Lu family is honored and disgraced, and from now on it will be tied to the little master." β
Lu Ji nodded, put down the curtain with tears, and the waiter listened to the chess on both sides of the palace sedan chair, and the eunuch ordered the sedan chair to be raised.
On the way to the palace, the crying continued, and gradually subsided, and Lu Ji knew that they were not sincere.
I don't know how many catties and taels are worth of sincere tears in that deep palace?
Walking to the front of the Shunzhen Gate, it is three o'clock in the morning, and the palace sedan chairs of the little masters will gather together. The eunuch shouted out the name and family history of the selected show girl.
"The daughter of Wang Maochuan, the Marquis of Suinan, Wang Erhan. β
After a pause, a woman Yingying got out of the sedan chair.
"The daughter of Feng Jingchi, the title of the commander of the military department of the Outer Frontier, Feng Shaoyi. β
"From the daughter of Lu Zhengqing, the servant of the second grade household department, Lu Ji. β
Lu Ji was the third to get off the sedan chair.
She frowned, the two women in front of her were far from each other, it seemed that the draft result was indeed the product of a compromise between the queen mother and the emperor.
