Chapter 30: Greetings from the Palace
Early the next morning, Qin Lun packed up and went to the queen's palace to say goodbye. As soon as Qin Lun went out, Rong Guiren stopped her from behind and said with a smile: "What's the matter? Sister went to ask for peace, why didn't you call your sister together? Since we live in the same place, we should take care of each other, do you say yes?"
Qin Lun bowed and bowed, knowing that Rong Guiren was not good, but he had to smile and say, "Rong Guiren is early." ”
Rong Guiren didn't seem to hear it, and took the girls out of Chuxiu Palace one step ahead of Qin Lun.
Curly grass muttered: "What are you dragging! Isn't it just a title? What kind of score do you have!"
This time, Qin Lun did not reprimand Curly Cao for being rude, and covered his mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "You don't have to say more, someone will clean her up later." ”
The curly grass was inexplicable, but Lianzhu understood what Qin Lun meant, and smiled with her.
Qin Lun slowly paced to the queen's Kunning Palace, today is different from yesterday, this hour is the most lively time in the Kunning Palace, all the palace concubines came to ask for peace at this time, although the queen's main hall is large, it is already a full house.
The queen is still sitting upright in the hall, and the concubines and concubines are sitting on the two princely chairs below, and the nobles are standing at the end. Rong Guiren came early and chose a conspicuous position to stand. Qin Lun walked over unhurriedly, saluted the queen first, and then walked to the end and stood.
When the queen saw that everyone was almost here, she spoke: "Please An all my sisters are here today, just to meet the two newcomers - Rong Guiren and Qin Guiren. You two come to the front. ”
Qin Lun stepped forward and stood side by side with Rong Guiren. Qin Lun lowered her head and didn't dare to look left and right, but she obviously felt the burning gaze shooting from both sides.
"Rong Guiren is the niece and granddaughter of the Queen Mother, everyone knows it, so I don't need to say more. The queen said, "Qin Guiren is the daughter of Langzhong of the Jiangzhou Weaving Bureau, and now she has passed on to the Sixth Emperor Uncle." The two of them entered the palace together yesterday, and today is the first time to meet your sisters. ”
As soon as the queen mother finished speaking, a concubine on the first princess chair at the bottom right smiled and said: "Why should the queen mother be so solemn, they are just two nobles." There are so many sisters in the palace, I can't recognize them all anyway. ”
Qin Lun was very surprised, there was someone in this harem who dared to Huo Empress Lingzi, so arrogant, he must not be an ordinary person.
The queen sat on it but was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Meng Guifei, why are you so impatient, there are many nobles in the palace, but they are all from the promise, often step by step, now the two in front of you were crowned nobles when they entered the palace the day before yesterday, and Rong Guiren still has a title." ”
Qin Lun was shocked, it turned out that this person was the famous Meng Guifei, and I don't know if she would be angry with herself because of her uncle Qin Quan's impeachment of Meng Gui, but it was a pity that Qin Lun lowered his head and couldn't see Meng Guifei's appearance clearly, but just listening to the voice, he felt an indescribable fierceness.
"Oh, Rong Guiren, is this one?" Meng Guifei raised her hand and said with a smile, "She just came early, and she has been there, I looked at her eyes, and I felt that it was quite eye-catching, it turned out to be a newcomer with a title! ”
Rong Guiren was shocked when she heard this, she felt that she had not offended Meng Guifei, why did she tease herself as soon as she came up, and hurriedly explained: "Guifei Niangniang forgives her sins, the concubine has just arrived, maybe she is in the wrong position, and she asks Guifei Niangniang to correct her." ”
After hearing this, Meng Guifei laughed: "Forgive what crime, you didn't stand wrong, what can this palace correct you?"
Qin Lun lowered his head and was silent, the queen mother above probably felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Meng Guifei likes to laugh the most, don't scare the newcomer." They are all ignorant, this Qin nobleman was originally from Jiangzhou, and not long after she first came to the capital, everyone should take more care of her. ”
Meng Guifei subconsciously touched the bun on her head, looked down at her fingernails again, and stopped talking. The other concubine on the opposite side smiled and said: "Queen Mother, we people have been in the palace for a long time and don't know what fashion is popular outside, you see that the hairpin on the head of this Qin nobleman is novel and chic, and this palace has never seen this kind of material." ”
The queen was about to answer, but she was preempted by Concubine Meng again: "Sister Hu is really lonely and unheard, haven't you even seen silk ivory?" The year before last, the emperor got a silk ivory mat and twelve silk ivory fans, I still have a few now, I will find one to give to my sister when I go back, it is not a valuable thing." ”
Qin Lun deduced according to the order of the seat that Sister Hu in Meng Guifei's mouth should be Hu Guifei. But she didn't know why Meng Guifei was so favored that she still sat on the right, and Hu Guifei went to sit on the left, could it be that this was also according to the rules of the previous dynasty, the military generals were on the left, and the civil officials were on the right?
Hu Guifei smiled: "Hey, how can I ask for my sister's things." This palace has never paid attention to these things, maybe you don't remember if you see it, just when my sister talked about the fan, I remembered, there seemed to be a few ivory fans in my palace, but I don't know where I threw it. I'll let the girls look for it. ”
When Qin Lun heard this, he obviously felt that Meng Guifei and Hu Guifei were not on good terms, and the two of them were talking hard. The queen sat on top and couldn't help coughing.
Meng Guifei said again: "Although the Qin nobleman's things are good, in the end, they are strange and ingenious, but they are not allowed to tolerate this golden step on the head of the nobleman, such a good foot red gold, it is rare!"
Rong Guiren listened to Meng Guifei's praise of her own things, and hurriedly replied: "Hui Niangniang, this step is a reward from the Queen Mother, how can the concubine herself have such a good thing." ”
Qin Lun thought secretly, no wonder you wore it yesterday to ask the Queen Mother for peace, it turned out that it was given by the Queen Mother, in order to make her old man happy. But this is also human nature, if the Queen Mother also rewarded Qin Lun with a step shake, Qin Lun naturally wanted to wear it to ask for peace, but he should not wear it to the main hall of Kunning Palace today.
Meng Guifei pretended to be suddenly enlightened and said: "Hey, this palace actually forgot, you are the niece and granddaughter of the Queen Mother, so it is naturally not surprising that there are these good things." ”
The queen wanted to leave a good impression on the two newlyweds for the first time in the palace, but when she heard Meng Guifei talk more and more, she hurriedly stopped her and said: "Okay, today is just the first time we meet, and the palace is very happy to see that the sisters are chatting very speculatively." It's a pity that the palace got up early today, and I'm a little tired at the moment, so you can disperse first and come back tomorrow. ”
"Yes!" the concubines of the palace immediately stood up together and saluted and said goodbye.
Hu Guifei and Meng Guifei left first, followed by concubines, concubines, and nobles. Rong Guiren was inexplicably deflated today, and walked back to Chuxiu Palace quickly after the end. Qin Lun lowered his head and walked back silently.
"Qin Guiren, stay. ”
As soon as Qin Lun walked out of Kunning Palace, he heard someone shouting to him. The visitor introduced himself: "Hello Qin Guiren, I am Concubine Run's maid Xiuzhu, and my mother invited the nobleman to the palace for a while." ”
Qin Lun thought about it, Concubine Run's status was noble, she summoned her at this time, and she didn't want to go, so she immediately asked Xiuzhu to lead the way.
Xiuzhu took Qin Lun to the Shangqing Palace where Concubine Runniang lived, Qin Lun remembered that her aunt said that this Concubine Runniangniang was a princess of Goryeo, and her palace was really decorated with bright satins such as red, blue and gold, and the huge room was divided into small areas by several sliding doors and partitions. One of Concubine Run's maids is called Xiuzhu and the other is Minzhu, both wearing silver hairpins on their heads and delicate eyebrows.
