Today is the day when Zhaoyun entered the palace, early in the morning, the whole family began to get busy, the inner courtyard of the house gate, all dressed in red and hung colors, and the faces of the girls were also beaming. Even outside the gate of the General's Mansion, there were women and mothers-in-law who had good things waiting in front of the door early, gossiping, and wanted to see Zhaoyun's demeanor when he came out of the pavilion. More importantly, they wanted to see the royal majesty and see what kind of posture the emperor used to welcome Zhaoyun into the palace.

On this festive day, even if Zhaoyun was unwilling in his heart, he had to pretend to be happy on the surface. After returning home last night, Jing asked Zhaoyun where he went, and Zhaoyun only said that he was in a depressed mood and didn't want to alarm people, so he went out for a walk with Xiaolan. Jing's half-believed, because Zhaoyun was about to enter the palace, it was not good to be too harsh, but he just scolded the maids who served Zhaoyun, and then he was done.

Jing's entered the palace for Zhaoyun, and heard that the proprietress of Chang'an Daifang was the best at drawing eyebrows and covering faces with people, so she specially invited her. The proprietress of Daifang naturally didn't dare to slack off because she was dressing up Zhaoyun, and while carefully drawing her eyebrows, she praised her: "Miss is naturally beautiful, she is plain-faced, and she is also a peerless beauty. ”

Jing Shi was very happy when he heard this, and said with a smile: "This is natural, the master is a general, and I am also a scholarly family, of course my daughter is a famous family." Hui Zhi Lanxin, is not comparable to the daughter of an ordinary family. Moreover, Yun'er not only has a natural appearance, but under the teaching of my mother, her talent is also first-class. I have always regarded Yun'er as the pearl of my palm, and I think about it in my spare time, it is necessary to be both civil and military, and the handsome prince of the Houmen Guifu is worthy of my Yun'er. Now, the emperor has a good eye for Yun'er, and I can be regarded as getting what I want. ”

When the proprietress of Daifang heard this, she even claimed that it was, and congratulated: "Miss is both talented and beautiful, and she is beautiful and wise, and now she is valued by the saint and canonized in the palace, which is really a great honor, congratulations to Miss, congratulations to Mrs. ”

"It's coming, it's coming." The maid who was guarding in front of the general's mansion saw a team of chariots and horses coming from a distance, and they all shouted excitedly. Yahuan had already run away to inform Xia Qingtai and Jing's, Jing's hurriedly straightened Zhaoyun's clothes, looked at it carefully, and saw that everything was in order, so he personally took Zhaoyun's hand and walked out of the door.

A large number of maids surrounded Jing and Zhaoyun to the door, Xia Qingtai and Dongling also stood in front of the door, watching the lively women and mothers-in-law surrounded the Xia Mansion, Xia Qingtai saw this scene, and said with a smile on his face: "Today, is the day when my Xia Mansion daughter enters the palace, the villagers are affectionate and friendly, come to see each other, I would like to represent the people of the Jiangfu, thank you folks." ”

All the women were smiling, praising the general's approachability, and seeing that Zhaoyun was dressed very gorgeously, they were all whispering, some praised Zhaoyun's ice muscles and snow skin, and some praised Zhaoyun's beauty, and so on.

A team of chariots and horses were covered with light red veils, and there were more than 40 people in front of and behind the accompanying guards, all dressed in maroon brocade. Walking at the forefront is the chief eunuch Liu Chongmao. Seeing Liu Chongmao come forward to pay respects, Jing hurriedly ordered him to be exempt from courtesy, and said politely: "Manager Liu has worked hard. As he spoke, he took out the silver he had prepared earlier, handed it to Liu Chongmao, and said with a smile: "Manager Liu has worked hard all the way, although it is to do things according to orders, in the end, it is also for the sake of my eldest daughter in Xia Mansion. ”

Liu Chongmao couldn't refuse, so he had to take it and said with a smile: "Thank you, madam." He looked at Zhaoyun again, blessed with a blessing, and said with joy on his face: "Congratulations to Jieyu for the joy of canonization, Jieyu is generous, fairy and jade, I want to get the sacred heart, after entering the palace, as long as Jieyu serves the saint diligently, there is also a promotion to the title, and the slave is here to congratulate first." ”

When Zhaoyun heard this, he said with a smile: "What Mr. Liu said is very true, but I borrowed Mr. Liu's auspicious words. Jing said with a smile: "The little girl has a mediocre appearance, rough skills, and is not very proficient in the etiquette of the palace. ”

After some politeness, Zhaoyun finally boarded the carriage of Chun'en Hongwei. Although the parting is unbearable, it can't show the slightest sadness in front of everyone, only forced laughter.

The carriage moved slowly, Zhaoyun sat in the car, his heart was desolate, and he thought to himself: From now on, I am the concubine of the heavenly womb, although after entering the palace, I will still have the opportunity to meet my family, but in the end, I will gather less and leave more, and I can no longer serve my father and mother wholeheartedly. Brother Zixuan is interested in me, but the emperor's order is difficult, so he can't be sad, I just hope that he and I can let go as soon as possible, so as to avoid the pain of lovesickness.

Thinking like this, before I knew it, I had entered the palace, and the carriage traveled through the side gate until it reached the inner courtyard of the palace before stopping. Liu Chongmao personally helped Zhaoyun out of the carriage and said earnestly: "When the queen heard that Jieyu had entered the palace, she specially asked her to sweep the inside and outside of the Ninghuan Palace, and picked a lot of new flowers in front of the palace, hoping that Jieyu could live comfortably." ”

Zhaoyun didn't care about this, but when he entered the palace, he inevitably had to accept the false courtesy, so he had to smile lightly: "The queen mother has a heart, and when it is cleaned up, I will personally thank the queen mother." ”

All the way to the Ning Huan Palace, there were three palace maids and two eunuchs waiting there in front of the palace gate, Liu Chongmao pointed to everyone: "This is your new master, Xia Jieyu, you haven't come to see yet." Hearing this, several people hurriedly knelt down to say goodbye, and said, "Xia Jieyu is auspicious." Liu Chongmao turned to Zhaoyun and said: "Xia Jieyu, the slave has completed the holy order, and now she has to go back to restore her life, if Jieyu has anything unclear, you can ask Bai Zhi, she has been in the palace for a long time, and she knows a lot about the affairs of the palace." ”

Among the three palace maids, a woman dressed in a light cyan palace dress stepped forward, saluted Zhaoyun, and said, "Slave Bai Zhi, I've seen Jieyu." Zhaoyun looked at its rich and prosperous ornaments, with a silver bead flower obliquely decorated on the bun, a jade-colored tassel on the ear, and a string of crystal jade bracelets on the wrist, so he knew that Bai Zhiding was not an ordinary palace maid. After settling down, Zhao Yuncai smiled gently: "There is Chief Lao Liu in charge, I will pay careful attention to the trivial matters in the inner palace, and the chief manager can go back to his life." Liu Chongmao bowed and retired.

Entering the main hall, Zhaoyun looked around the room, although the layout was much simpler and elegant, but the furnishings were excellent. Zhaoyun thought in his heart, he was just a third-grade Jieyu, and according to the etiquette system, he should not be too prosperous, but fortunately, he was weak in nature, and he was also obedient.

There is a brocade box on the rosewood table, on which is placed a set of pure purple court dresses, as well as a seven-tailed auspicious cloud pattern phoenix hairpin and several strings of Lantian jade tassels, and there are tortoiseshell nail bells, coral rings and other ornaments. Zhaoyun saw that the color of the costume jewelry was of the highest quality, and he knew that it was the queen's intentional arrangement, because he was the daughter of Jiangmen, and he was used to seeing the silk and jade food since he was a child. Although I should be grateful for the queen's kindness, but there is a trace of dignity in my heart, as the daughter of the general, if I am complacent for these clothes, it is inevitable that I will lose the bearing of the lady, isn't it to be underestimated, so the face is just faint.

After Zhaoyun sat down, Bai Zhi hurriedly served a cup of tea, Zhaoyun walked all the way, and was also a little thirsty, so he took it, slowly blew the heat dissipation, sipped the sweetness, tasted it carefully, and then smiled: "This is Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoot tea?" Bai Zhi smiled: "What Jieyu said is good, exactly." ”

Zhaoyun ate the tea, looked at everyone, and saw the two little eunuchs peeking at him, as far as his eyes could see, so he lowered his head again. Seeing this, Zhaoyun smiled gently: "I have always treated my subordinates very well, since you follow me, there is no need to be so restricted, you all report your names, and I will know." ”

In just a moment's effort, Zhaoyun recognized all the palace people who were waiting, except for the personal palace maid Bai Zhi, one of the two little girls was named Lu Yang, and the other was called Zijuan; One of the two little eunuchs is called Xiao Linzi and the other is called Xiao Shunzi. Bai Zhi was originally a palace person who served the queen, and she also had some face, because she acted safely, the queen deliberately transferred her to Zhaoyun Palace to take care of Zhaoyun's daily life. The other four were all suitable people carefully selected by the head of the Shanggong Bureau.

Zhaoyun rested for a long time, stood up, and Bai Zhi hurriedly stepped forward to support him. Zhaoyun said gently: "Since I have entered the palace, I should go to see the queen, Bai Zhi, you go with me!" ”

Bai Zhi said softly: "Jieyu can't go." ”
