Chapter 509: Entering the Palace
In the early morning of the next day, Rong Xi wore a dress to the palace, she helped a set of jade combs on her head, this set of jade combs is carved with good mutton fat jade, the carving is exquisite, the shape is exquisite, and the more rare thing is that this set of jade combs is made of the same piece of mutton fat jade, whether it is color, luster or feel are the same.
Rong Xi's black hair was also combed into a bun, no longer a random pull, because she was not usually used to combing it into a complex style, so Xiao'er deliberately chose a simple and dignified one, and only used this set of jade combs in decoration.
She wore a lilac brocade robe, and the delicate embroidery embroidered with exquisite and realistic patterns, which is also extremely simple but shows the real kung fu materials and workmanship, real simplicity but not simple.
Despite this, Rong Xi still felt that his head was too heavy, and he didn't know if those concubines were tired of wearing so many gold and silver jewelry.
Layers of palace doors, one after another, layer by layer of inspection and investigation, countless times handed over the waist card, the eunuch returned with a smile, "The slave asks Princess Ning for peace, please here." ”
Xiao'er took the waist card, someone in the palace took the sedan chair on the shoulders of the sedan chair man, and carried Rong Xi to the inside, Leng Yixiu had already stopped in front of the harem, although he was a prince, but he was already an adult, and he opened a mansion outside, and he could not enter the harem casually without passing the edict or handing the sign a few days in advance to get permission.
After walking a few steps, a lady in charge greeted her and said to Xiao'er: "But Princess Ning's sedan chair? ”
"Exactly." Xiao'er hurriedly returned the salute, she could see that the lady in charge in front of her was dressed differently from other ordinary palace maids, and her demeanor was more stable.
"The old slave is from Wei Guifei's palace, and she knows that Princess Ning is going to enter the palace today, so Niangniang specially asked the old slave to wait here." The lady in charge replied.
"So, there is Mama Lao, please lead the way." Rong Xi's voice came from the sedan chair, and there was no surprise in it, nor did he look flattered in the slightest.
The lady in charge gave a salute to the sedan chair, turned around and walked on the side of the sedan chair, followed and said no more.
Rong Xi closed her eyes slightly, she was not worried about the origin of this grandmother in charge, she had received a holy decree to enter the palace, and today's banquet was also presided over by Wei Guifei, even if someone wanted to do something, she would not be stupid enough to do it at this time.
What's more, it's just a grandmother, what can you do?
The lady in charge originally deliberately walked on the side of the sedan chair, close to the seat of the sedan window, just waiting for Rong Xi to ask her a few words, such as who she invited today, and what special advice did the concubine have to offer, or...... What are the taboos and so on?
But people didn't even ask, not even a voice.
The palace road is long, and the footsteps of several people are gentle, echoing on this clean and somewhat stiff bluestone brick road, and the shadow of the palace wall is pressed down, which deepens the awe of the palace inner garden in people's hearts.
The sunlight slid through the roofs of those palaces, and the glazed tiles shimmered, like colorful glow flowing quietly, splashing the youth of those young and beautiful women, where flowers bloom and fall, and never stop.
After walking a long way, Rong Xi in the sedan chair still didn't mean to speak, but the lady in charge was a little uncontrollable, Wei Guifei confessed, and she had a few words to tell Rong Xi, she began to regret a little, she shouldn't make her own assertion and want to give Rong Xi a dismount.
Although she is in the palace, some rumors are still very impressive, such as this Princess Ning, it is rumored that she is smart, resolute, decisive, and quite handsome like King Ning, a woman...... And she is also a woman who married into the royal family, she has this kind of reputation, and some people think it is a good name, but in her opinion, it may not be.
The lady in charge has been by Wei Guifei's side for many years, watching her grow from a girl who first entered the palace to a current generation of imperial concubines, she should be the most high-profile woman in the world, where is it the turn to get this Princess Ning?
What's more, as a woman, you should be virtuous and docile, how can you ...... Like a man, he often shows his head, fights and kills? What she should do is not to mix with those men, but to hand more signs into the palace, and be filial to Concubine Wei!
In this heart, the mother in charge thought of giving Rong Xi a little difficulty, so that she asked herself in a panic, but ...... It's just that this Princess Ning doesn't play her cards according to common sense, it is obviously a very important banquet, but she seems to be nothing.
In fact, Rong Xi really didn't mean it, in her opinion, this banquet was far less important than what the lady in charge thought, it was nothing more than a boring thing to say with a few women, and then select two contestants, what is there to prepare for?
The road to this palace is too long, so long that she wants to doze off, and in the late stage of pregnancy, this old love and sleepiness not only did not improve, but became worse.
Just when she was drowsy, the lady in charge cleared her throat, and finally couldn't hold back and said: "Princess, the concubine has a few words for the old slave to pass on to you." ”
"Oh?" Rong Xi asked lazily, "What words?" Why do you only think about it now? ”
She just felt curious, but in the ears of the lady in charge, there was a bit of a sense of asking the teacher, she pursed her lips, and said: "Back to the princess's words, the old slave has been by the side of the concubine for many years, thanks to the mother's weight, there are too many things to take care of, this time I came out to welcome the princess, but the mother is not worried about those hairy girls, but the old slave is old, and his memory is not very good, and please don't blame the princess." ”
As soon as she said this, Rong Xi could hear it, and she realized that this lady in charge was not just here to lead the way.
What she said had another deep meaning, so what did she mean, was it her own or Wei Guifei's?
Rong Xi didn't want to dig deeper, for her, there was no need to waste her mind on these things, she smiled lightly, and said lightly: "Mama thinks it's hard to do things in this palace?" I saw my mother later, but do you need this princess to speak for you? ”
"......" The lady in charge stumbled, almost being knocked down by herself, she was secretly frightened, where did she mean this? What he said just now is clearly clear, even a stupid person should be able to understand it, not to mention, this Princess Ning is not stupid.
She was really afraid that Princess Ning would pretend not to understand, and really mention it to Wei Guifei, so she could only reluctantly smile and say: "The princess is ashamed of the old slave, and the old slave doesn't dare to complain in the slightest, but I just want to ask the princess not to blame the old slave for negligence." ”
She took a breath, and hurriedly said: "The concubine asked the old slave to tell the princess that among the people who came today were Miss Cai, the niece of Lord Qiu Shijuqiu, and Miss Rongjia, a cousin of His Royal Highness King An, and then a concubine of the Qi Palace, the second lady of the Zuo Deputy General's family. ”
"Huh?" When Rong Xi heard the last person, he couldn't help but open his slightly closed eyes, "Zuo Qinglian? ”
The lady in charge felt that Rong Xi's tone seemed to be a little colder suddenly, and she didn't dare to have any other thoughts in her heart, but just lowered her head and said, "Yes." ”
"Princess Ben knows." Rong Xi was just a short sentence, there were no superfluous words, and the lady in charge peeked at it, but she couldn't see anything.
She couldn't help but feel a little afraid and a little apprehensive in her heart, and she realized that Princess Ning in this sedan chair was three points more powerful than the rumored ones.
Rong Xi's mind was still turning the name of "Zuo Qinglian", her fingers gently picked up the sedan curtain on Xiao'er's side, and Xiao'er immediately leaned down and said, "Miss, what do you command?" ”
"That Zuo Qinglian still knows martial arts?" Rong Xi had some doubts in his heart, when he saw Zuo Qinglian, he didn't see from her walking form that she was a martial artist.
"I haven't heard of it," Xiao'er was also a little puzzled, "her sister will be a few times, but she is married far away, I haven't heard that she will also, it seems that there was a gathering of noblewomen and children in Beijing when you were not out of the cabinet, and she once said that she only loves female red, and does not love those swords, guns and clubs." ”
"This is strange," Rong Xi's mind couldn't help but think of what happened when Zuo Qinglian went to Ning Wang's Mansion, there must be some connection between the two.
The sedan chair finally stopped, interrupting Rong Xi's thoughts, and the lady in charge said on the side: "Princess, it's here, please get off the sedan chair." ”
Xiao'er lifted the sedan curtain, Rong Xi bent down from the sedan chair and walked down, and the lady in charge felt that her eyes were bright.
This is not the first time she has seen Rong Xi, but she has only seen it from a distance before, and she only knows that her appearance is beautiful, but ...... The woman in front of you is not just beautiful?
There is never a shortage of beautiful women in this palace, and she has seen a lot, not to mention that she has been following Concubine Wei, how can she be an ugly woman who can sit in the position of a concubine?
However, the Rongxi in front of her will make people ignore her beauty, and what slams into people's eyes violently is her graceful temperament.
The sun is like gold, gently sprinkled on her purple brocade dress, and the gorgeous dress is like a flower blooming on the brick floor, she holds her head high, her gait is steady, and she walks gently.
The glazed light on the roof shone brightly on all sides, a line of light fell on her black hair, like silk, like flowing water, a row of jade combs glowing with a smooth light, and her whole person seemed to be enveloped in all kinds of light.
The woman's face is calm, her black eyebrows are like feathers, and her eyebrows are gently raised, like distant mountains that go away leisurely, and like flying wings, like phoenix wings flying above the nine heavens. Those eyes were brilliant and fierce, and they could not be ignored in the many lights, but they looked faintly with a light smile, but they were like lightning and ice, and lightning pierced into people's hearts.
Her clothes swayed gently in the autumn wind, and suddenly she had the posture of Luoshen, she held her head high, step by step, like the most noble queen in the world walking towards her Jiuhua throne.
As soon as this idea came to her, the lady in charge took a breath of cold air in her heart, and she secretly hated how she could have such a big idea.
