Chapter 71: Untitled
Three days back to the door.
But Wei Qian marries into the palace, where is the chance to go home?
So on the third day, the family entered the palace to thank them.
Originally, the male owner was supposed to thank him in front of the palace gate, but Wei Yan had been gone for so long, so he let Mrs. Wei and Jia Mei enter the palace to meet Wei Qian.
Anren Palace, this is the place where the emperor ordered the concubines and families of the harem to come and meet. Twice a month, the concubines take turns summoning their relatives.
Wei Qian caught up with the three dynasties to return to the door, so this Tian'an Ren Hall was used by her first.
Sitting in the position, seeing Jia Mei, who was dressed as a noblewoman, helping the old lady to come in, Wei Qian hurriedly ran down the steps and helped the old lady to sit on the chair next to her.
"Mother, sit down too."
"Nope." Jia Mei held Wei Qian's hand and looked a little excited: "You...... How are you doing in the palace? β
"My daughter is fine in the palace, after all, she entered the palace with a concubine ceremony, and the emperor and the queen mother took care of her, no one dared to bully her daughter in the palace."
"Okay, that's good." Jia Mei's heart was a little relieved, and her eyebrows were full of joy. For her, a woman's marriage and childbirth are a complete life.
Let's just stay in the palace for a few years first, and then talk about other things after reassuring my mother.
Wei Qian asked carefully about the family.
The old lady and Jia Mei naturally reported good news but not bad news. Wei Qian was helpless, knowing that the second elder didn't want to worry about herself, so she said: "Now that the daughter's position is enough, in the future, mother and grandmother can enter the palace twice a month, if there is anything, you might as well enter the palace." Remember, at the moment our house is not as still as it is moving. If you really have to make a big move, you have to wait for Ying'er to grow up. β
"I think so, too. I went back and prepared to let Ying'er worship a teacher in the capital, and then go back to Jinling to take the entrance examination and come from the imperial examination. β
"Apprenticeship?" Wei Qian pondered: "Is there a candidate for mother and grandmother?" β
"Our family is close to the Huang family, and Lord Huang Yuan is still there, and if I ask him to come forward, I should be able to find a few teachers who are willing to accept Ying'er. And-"
"Uncle Lin's side?" Wei Qian said: "How is Uncle Lin's body and bones all these years? β
"It's okay, I passed by there when I went to Beijing last month, and he was in good shape. And he also wrote a letter recommending Ying'er to go to Scholar Yan's side. β
Looking around, seeing that there was no one around, Wei Qian quickly said in Jia Mei's ear: "Sue Aunt SΓΉ, there are changes in Jiangnan, for the sake of Daiyu and Chaoyang, take care of yourself." β
Jia Mei was surprised, and Wei Qian pointed out: "The letter from the past year, it's time to move." β
"Yes, yes, now it's the world of His Majesty." Jia Mei suddenly said to herself: "Some things back then should indeed be settled. β
Mrs. Wei didn't know why, but when she saw the mother and daughter playing dumb riddles, she was beating a drum in her heart, and decided to ask Jia Mei after she went back.
Then, Wei Qian raised her voice: "Scholar Yan just returned to his hometown this year, although he and his uncle-in-law had a master-apprentice relationship in the past, but he may not accept Ying'er." When the mother goes back, she can ask first, but if she can't do it, she will come to her daughter again, and the daughter will have her own way to persuade him. β
"Okay."
At this time, a great eunuch of Ningshou Palace sent a message from Empress Dowager Chen: "Concubine Ning, the Empress Dowager said that it is rare for you to meet your family, so let the two county ladies have dinner in the palace." β
Wei Qian was stunned, knowing that it was the Empress Dowager Chen who had the heart to give herself face, and said gratefully: "That afternoon, the palace took my grandmother and mother to Ningshou Palace to thank her, and I hope that the Empress Dowager will not dislike us and disturb us." β
So he commanded a feast to be held in the house of Anren. And Wei Qian ordered someone to prepare a food box: "Some dishes in the palace are good, mother and grandmother try more, and let Ying'er and Ling'er eat some when they go back." β
prepared the imperial meal for Wei Ying and Wei Ling, and Wei Qian chose a seal and a ruyi for her younger brothers and sisters.
During the meal, Wei Qian asked about the situation in Jiafu. Jia Mei put down her chopsticks: "Speaking of which, what is the relationship between Niangniang and Fengzao Palace?" β
In the palace, is it an alliance or a hostile position? It's also about the attitudes of Wei and Jia.
"Not close, not close, blood relatives see each other, nodding friends on weekdays, but I can't look down on her calculations, and she can't look down on my Qinggao. There was harmony on the face. If Jiafu expresses goodwill, the eldest uncle can only respond. By the way, I also have rewards for my uncle and cousin-in-law. There are also Daiyu sisters and brothers......" frowned, and Wei Qian said: "Several other children of Jiafu have also given it." I'll ask Fengzao Palace again to see if I need something over there. β
Wei Qian didn't want to get too close to Jia Yuanchun, although the two didn't see each other much, they both understood each other's temperament. Wei Qian knew that Jia Yuanchun was strong, and she was definitely not willing to accept the position of a concubine.
But climbing up will inevitably stain blood under his hands, and what Wei Qian most deliberately avoided when entering the palace was these personal deeds. If you do too much of this kind of thing that hurts yin and morality, it will be difficult for the Dao heart to become enlightened in the future.
"By the way, how about Aunt He's side? Do you need something to give her something to keep her grandmother out of her interference? β
"It doesn't matter." Mrs. Wei smiled: "I came to look for Jia Shi's family once, and from then on, Sister He can live in our house justifiably." β
"Oh?"
"Some backhouse fights, the mother doesn't have to ask." Old Madam Wei didn't want to talk about those calculations, and said, "But if you give Sister He some rewards, she must be happy too." β
No, this is my own granddaughter.
Wei Qian bowed her head and instructed Xiangling to reward the things she had prepared, and let the two ladies go home together.
The three of them were talking and laughing in the palace, and there was a woman at the door who walked into the range of Anren Hall with her maid, and when she heard the laughter inside, she frowned slightly, it stands to reason that today should be the day when she summoned her family.
I asked the palace people: "Who is in there today?" β
"Qi Qi Wen Xiuyi, is Chongyi Niangniang." The palace said: "The Queen Mother said, today I will hand over the Anren Hall to Concubine Ning, and others should not disturb it." β
"Concubine Ning?" Concubine Wen suddenly said: "I almost forgot, today is the day when she returns to the door for the third dynasty, and she must be reuniting with her family?" β
Today was also the day when Concubine Wen summoned her family, and when she saw the conflict with Wei Qian, she thought secretly: "That's it, she just entered the palace and was depressed, it's good to see her family, I'll find my mother another day." As he spoke, he instructed the people around him: "Juan'er, you go to the door to have a look, if your mother arrives, let her not wait today." β
"Why bother." The door opened, and Wei Qian hurriedly walked over. She was deaf and deaf, and when she heard the movement outside, she hurriedly came out and said: "Today is the day that my sister has set to summon her family, and my sister is in a hurry to cut the line, so it's good that my sister doesn't blame her, where can I let my sister return in vain?" β
said to Wen Zhaoyi's personal palace maid: "You go to the door and ask Mrs. Yu to come in, and the palace and your mother and grandmother will go to the queen mother to settle down." β
"How does this work?" Wen Xiuyi hurriedly stopped, and Wei Qian waved her hand: "The Queen Mother asked her sister to hold a banquet in the palace to entertain her mother and grandmother, and she was going to thank her in the afternoon." Now it's time to make room to go to the Queen Mother to pass the time. My sister hasn't seen her family for a month, so my sister won't bother you to catch up. β
Saying that, please send out Jia Mei and the others, and the three of them will go to Ningshou Palace.
Before Empress Dowager Chen finished eating, Wei Qian rushed to bring someone over. And Wei Qian smiled: "Niangniang, Anrendian is too crowded, come over to Niangniang's side to rest first, presumably Niangniang won't mind, right?" β
"Didn't the palace order you to summon you in the Anren Hall today and block everyone else?"
"The sister of the Wen family has not seen her mother for many days, and she heard that her father is sick. The news in the harem is blocked, and it's just this time every month, so why should the concubine be this villain? β
stepped forward and saluted: "Niangniang's place is big, so let a side hall for concubines to see their mother and grandmother." β
Empress Dowager Chen said: "You can be a good person, but where do you get a clean person after the harem?" If you say good things to her today, she may not appreciate it. β
"Well, if you want to see it, you can see it. Come on, vacate the temple on the right for her. β
"Then the concubine asked her mother and grandmother to come over and thank you first?"
"Forget it, the palace will not see them, and it will save them from kowtowing to the palace. Just let them leave before going back to the palace ban. β
In the afternoon, Wei Qian chatted with the two elders in the Buddhist hall, and sent the two out of the palace when they were close to Shen.
After thanking the Empress Dowager Chen again, he returned to Yongfu Palace.
On the third day, Situ Yun was still resting here. Wei Qian managed to get everyone in the palace to come out and meet Situ Yun. Seeing a few of them, Situ Yun's eyes lit up, but he didn't care about Wei Qian's face, so he didn't say much, and only secretly asked people to write down their names.
These aristocratic girls have delicate faces and have their own skills, if they hadn't entered the palace this time and came directly to Yongfu Palace, they could have directly obtained their names through the guΓ² draft.
On the fourth day, Wei Qian found someone to customize the palace costume, embroidered with various floral patterns, and sixteen tips.
"Evian, Qiyun, you two send these clothes to the ladies according to their names. Observe their words and deeds by the way. "Evian and Qiyun are the palace maids who serve Wei Qian in Yongfu Palace, and let them go down to guard Qian to play with sixteen tricks.
These bags are paired with the palace assembly, Wei Qian filled in the petals, wrote the name, and prepared to present it to Situ Yun in the evening for selection. This is how I heard about the "green head card" in my previous life.
At present, the lantern method is still used on the side of Daming Palace.
If any concubine wants to sleep, hang a lantern at the entrance of the palace. When the emperor searched the six palaces, he would choose a lantern to enter the palace. And notify the others, so that the other concubines can rest early.
And Wei Qian is now too crowded, so he can only use the bag to represent himself, and let Situ Yun choose whatever he wants.
"This matter is decided, and it can be cleaned up for a few days in the future. However, the warbler and swallow of Yongfu Palace are by no means the place where I have lived for a long time. Wei Qian thought about it and took Xiangling to find the Empress Dowager Chen.
Empress Dowager Chen was staying in Ningshou Palace when she had nothing to do, Wei Qian came to visit, and the Empress Dowager smiled and said, "You busy man, you came early enough today?" Settled in the palace? β
"Almost, if it weren't for the queen mother to let the concubine arrange the affairs of those ladies in the palace. The concubine wanted to come early to accompany the queen mother to enjoy the flowers and watch the play. Wei Qian said her own tricks, and Empress Dowager Chen smiled: "It's difficult for you, just after entering the palace, I asked you to push the emperor out." But I strongly agree with Wei Qian's idea. Let these people enter the palace quickly, and the palace will be more lively.
"After all, the six palaces are so big, it's hard for one person to be alone." Wei Qian smiled indifferently: "Moreover, the rain and dew are evenly wet, and the spread of your majesty is the top priority." β
"Yes, heirs are important." Empress Dowager Chen thought so, looked at Wei Qian's belly, Wei Qian's face was shocked, and said with a wry smile: "Empress Dowager, even if you see the flowers, it is impossible to conceive a dragon fetus in just three days." β
"But maybe there is."
"There is a difference between the concubines, our concubines are pregnant with a dragon son, it is not as beautiful as the queen's mother, if the queen's mother gives birth to the eldest son, this is the luck of the country."
Empress Dowager Chen's expression darkened, thinking of the time when the prince was abolished in the past, even the prince was not stable, let alone the eldest son.
However, Empress Dowager Chen didn't speak, and instead talked about discussing with Wei Qian about holding the Shangsi Festival again.
"The grass is ready, what, we're really going to have a good time? Do you have kites or something like that? β
"Well, it's all ready. Recipes are also specially prepared, which can be prepared early in the morning. Wei Qian was full of interest and discussed the day's activities with Empress Dowager Chen.
To put it bluntly, Empress Dowager Chen is bored, so she tinkers with Wei Qian.
Anyway, when the time comes, the courtyard gate will be opened, and others don't know how they play.
Wei Qian left the kites, a total of sixteen, and selected them with the Queen Mother.
As he was talking, Wei Qian's expression suddenly turned to the side, his face turned a little pale, and he found an excuse to say goodbye and leave.
After Wei Qian left, Empress Dowager Chen looked at the kite sent by Wei Qian and asked the people around her: "What do you think about Concubine Ning?" β
"Concubine Ning is knowledgeable and polite, and she is humble and courteous to your mother, which is indeed everyone's style."
"Hongu didn't mean that." The Queen Mother shook her head: "It can be seen that this girl has no feelings for Yun'er." "If I really had feelings, I wouldn't have tossed for so long.
Now that she has only entered the palace for a few days, it is impossible to expect her to depend on Situ Yun for life and death. And looking at its attitude, it seems that it has no intention of competing for favor, but it can't be seen now.
"This woman has a lot of eyes, and now she is in the palace and the emperor, and she may also have plans to envelop the emperor on the side?" The Queen Mother wanted Wei Qian to do this, but looking at Wei Qian's attitude, it seemed to be ......
"Well, let's take a look. It's only been a few days, and I can't see what is going on. However, a person who has the leisure to fly a kite with himself may not have the heart to lock up the rest of his life in this huge cage.
