Chapter 57
The old lady Jia was feasting in the west garden, and Aunt Wei led Su Jinqiu to the east road into Yuan Junqing's study.
The little girl opened the curtain, Aunt Wei let Su Jinqiu into the house, led her into the room, Yuan Junqing sat in front of the bookcase, saw Su Jinqiu enter the door, and didn't wait for her to salute, so she smiled and said, "Sit." ”
Su Jinqiu still finished the salute, and then sat down in the next chair.
Aunt Wei poured the tea, and when she was done, she stood behind Yuan Junqing, waiting for orders.
"Well, I didn't expect it to be like this." Yuan Junqing said with a sigh, looking at Su Jinqiu's expression, there was a little sigh and a little guilt.
He had thought about letting Yuan Qisheng marry Su Jinqiu, but he really hadn't thought about Yuan Feng. Yuan Feng's family affairs are not in his hands, and then Yuan Feng's character is really not a good match.
As a result, Yuanfeng wanted to marry himself, and his father had no way at all, although he had little to do with him, but when he saw Su Jinqiu, he still felt very guilty, and he felt like he had cheated her.
Su Jinqiu lowered his head and was silent, and said after a while: "Marriage is determined by heaven, and the master of the horse does not need to blame himself." ”
Even Yuan Junqing and Yuan Feng's father were not optimistic about this family business, and said this to her with a guilty face. She couldn't help but wonder, what did Yuan Feng do.
"But rest assured, girl, I am his father anyway, and I will always listen to what I say. If anything happens in the future, remember to send someone to tell me, and I will not let him hurt you. Yuan Junqing assured Su Jinqiu with a straight face.
Su Jinqiu was completely speechless, and said after a while: "Xie Shibo cares, I will be cautious." ”
Not long ago, Feng Qi promised her that he would definitely ensure her personal safety. Now even Yuan Junqing assured her that how high is the risk factor of marrying Yuanfeng, such a thing as marriage, normal people are worried about discord after marriage, but she is directly rising to the safety angle.
Is she getting married, or is she going to close the door?
Yuan Junqing's expression was a little complicated, he wasn't worried about Su Jinqiu's actions, but who could guarantee that he could be cautious for a lifetime, especially when it came to the person next to him, he had to be cautious, and his life was really hard. He said: "There are often drafts in the palace, and the most important thing is beauty, and the love of men is always difficult to last." You have a reputation, you have a dowry, no matter how much you mess around, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will always take care of you, and you don't have to worry about it for too long. ”
"Uh......" Su Jinqiu was completely dumbfounded.
Yuan Junqing's tone was counting on Yuan Feng to get tired of her as soon as possible, and then she would live a peaceful life with her reputation and money. I never thought that they would be reconciled as husband and wife, as long as she guaranteed her life.
Yuan Junqing also felt that the words were a bit heavy, but at his age, people are always safe in the world, and their lives are gone, so what kind of love do they talk about. After a pause, he said: "Considering that the Yu family's relatives have just retired, and you are in filial piety, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specially told Lao Qi to wait for the limelight to pass, and then make a decree to marry after you are full of filial piety." ”
With what he and Feng Qi meant, they had to wait until Su Jinqiu became an adult. It is an unwritten rule for a girl to marry at the age of fifteen. Although there are cases of early marriage, it is a single case. Yuanfeng insisted on marrying now, you can not round the house first, but you must marry the family first.
"That's very good." Su Jinqiu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it.
Nine months of filial piety, plus the time to get married, it is estimated that it will be next spring. There is still more than half a year to go, and the retreat from the Yu family has passed. And there is still more than half a year to go, although she dies early and dies late, she still hopes that the marriage date can be later.
Yuan Junqing moved his lips, a little unable to open his mouth, but he could only say: "There is one more thing, the emperor loves Lao Qi, although he ordered the construction of the Qi Palace, he does not plan to let him live outside......"
Su Jinqiu blinked, a little incomprehensible, and said, "Don't live outside?" ”
The princes of Dachu went to the harem at the age of seven, lived in the imperial city after the age of seven, and after they got married, they did not immediately become vassals, but also built palaces outside the palace. For example, Fengchi, Emperor Yongchang's preference, has never been a vassal and often recruits him into the palace, but the mansion is still outside the palace.
"The emperor said that Lao Qi is still young, his temperament is uncertain, and it is not suitable to live alone. After marrying a few years later, he married to the puzzle of the South Sansho, and when the time was ripe, he moved out of the palace. Yuan Junqing said.
This is also the purpose of his special search for Su Jinqiu to come over today, Su Jinqiu must know about other things, only this one, it is estimated that she can't think of it. Whether you are in your own mansion or in the imperial city, you have to face a completely different situation.
"This ...... How is this possible? Su Jinqiu's eyes widened, and he said, "After the year, the Qi Palace's mansion will be completed, and ...... His Royal Highness the King of Qi is a king with a different surname...... How could this be to live in the palace! ”
Yuan Junqing also looked helpless and said, "The emperor ordered so." ”
Even the Zongren Mansion is also in a headache, and Wang Chengqin, who has a different surname, has nothing to do with the Zongren Mansion, but Emperor Yongchang ordered the Zongren Mansion, and that's it. There are rules for princes to get married, so they follow the rules for princes to get married. As a result, Emperor Yongchang also asked Yuanfeng to marry his daughter-in-law to the imperial city, which was completely unprecedented.
Su Jinqiu was dumbfounded, marrying Yuan Feng was already a big blow, and now he still has to live in the palace? Someone else marries a house fight, but she marries a palace fight?
The queen mother, the queen, the crown princess, the princess and the princess and concubines......
Building a mansion outside the palace, she is the mistress of the palace, in the palace, one is nothing.
Alien Palace Survival ...... Does she really have the word future?
Yuan Junqing also felt that Su Jinqiu would face a little cruelty after marriage, and said with a very kind smile: "You don't have to worry too much, His Royal Highness King Wei is about to move into the palace with him, just next door to Yizhizhai, and they also take care of each other." ”
Feng Chi and Su Moyu have been friends for many years, and they will definitely take care of Su Jinqiu. Although the generations are a little different, it doesn't hurt, Feng Chi and Su Moyu are friends, not relatives and friends. In addition, the status is noble, and they must be called the prince, and there is no need to change their words to call them brothers, and the pressure is much less.
"King Wei...... Want to live in the palace? Su Jinqiu only felt a little choked when he spoke.
It's very incredible in my heart, Feng Chi opened the mansion after he was eighteen years old, and he has lived outside for all these years, and suddenly he wants to go back to the palace to live, what kind of trouble is this.
Yuan Junqing said very vaguely: "The emperor loves His Royal Highness King Wei. ”
Fengchi rescued the driver in front of the battle, and completely moved Emperor Yongchang, who already loved Fengchi, and at this time the father's love index was completely bursting. always felt that it was inconvenient for Feng Chi to live outside the palace, so he wanted him to live in the palace.
At the last of the day, a big stone fell from the sky and smashed on his head, but Su Jinqiu was sitting, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground. Rao was like that, she still felt a little dizzy.
Murderer husband, Gong Dou, plus Feng Chi.
It seems that God thinks that her life is too boring, and all the excitement is added to her at once, just afraid that she will not die, and adds a full amount of explosives.
"Life in the palace is not easy, you have to cheer up." Yuan Junqing sighed and said, no matter what Su Jinqiu thinks, the matter has reached this level, and it is not unwilling. He added: "There is enough time, I want to help you find a few grandmothers who are familiar with the palace, and familiarize yourself with the situation in the palace first." ”
Su Jinqiu got up and said, "Thank you, Shibo." ”
It is not difficult to find court teachings, Yuan Junqing himself is a sectarian order, and what he is looking for is familiar with the palace teachings, which are different. Many grandmothers only teach palace maids, and they have never even seen the queen mother and the queen in person, let alone know about the personnel in the palace.
What does the queen mother like, what does the queen like, what are the taboos in the palace, and what is the relationship between the major heads of the harem. Which master has a good temper and which master has a bad temper, if you find these things out, although you don't dare to be like a fish in water after entering the palace, at least you can be much easier, and you won't be in the dark with your eyes, and you can't figure out the situation at all.
Yuan Junqing can help her find such a person, which will be of great help to her future life. They just can't enter the palace with her as a dowry, they can help teach the girls, and it is also very beneficial to her.
"No need to thank you, it's all what I should do, and I still want to drink your daughter-in-law's tea." Yuan Junqing said with a smile, and said: "You don't have to worry too much, the seventh child is not too young, and he won't live in the palace for long." It is mainly because of his military exploits that the emperor likes and gives special grace. ”
Emperor Yongchang was very casual, Fengchi saved his life, and Yuanfeng returned from the Great War, bringing him glory. This strength in my heart has not passed, so I naturally want to be gracious.
The three words of daughter-in-law tea made Su Jinqiu a little embarrassed, Yuan Junqing treated her very well, but she didn't want to marry Yuan Feng at all. He soon laughed and bowed his head and said nothing.
"The old lady is having a banquet at home, there are many girls here, rare good weather, you can also play with them for a while and eat lunch before leaving." Yuan Junqing said with a smile that he also took this opportunity to call Su Jinqiu over.
"I and Second Master Yu have just divorced, there is a lot of gossip in Beijing, and I am in filial piety, so it is not suitable to go out to play." Su Jinqiu said, it's better to meet Pan Yu, she is willing to go back to sleep.
Yuan Junqing nodded and said, "It's okay, it's better to go back early." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and instructed Aunt Wei beside him to send Su Jinqiu out.
Aunt Wei respectfully agreed, walked up to Su Jinqiu, and said with a smile: "I'll lead the girl out of the road." ”
"I'm tired of my aunt." Su Jinqiu smiled and thanked him.
The two went out one after the other, and Su Jinqiu's maiden mother-in-law who stayed outside followed, and everyone got on the car at the Huayuan Mountain Gate all the way to the second gate.
When Su Jinqiu got into the car, he said with a smile: "Thank you aunt for leading the way." ”
"The girl is too polite, it's all a slave's business." Aunt Wei said with a smile.
The girl helped Su Jinqiu get into the car, and the car drove out of the princess's mansion, and she was still a little puzzled. Although she is the aunt of the concubine, she has had children, and she has been with Yuan Junqing for all these years, and she has been boiling oil until now. dared to talk back to the old lady, it stands to reason that she doesn't need to do this kind of reception.
Is this to please her? Or is it indirectly currying favor with Yuanfeng?
Three days later, Yuan Junqing invited the teacher Xi into the house. Su Jinqiu deliberately packed up a small cross-courtyard and sent a maid to wait, and the grandmother who can know the affairs of the palace will not be short of money after leaving the palace. People will come to teach, that is to see Yuan Junqing's face, so naturally they should be courteous.
After a day off, the next day starts class, which is not actually considered a class, just a small talk. Teaching in a relaxed atmosphere, it is really a professional, starting from the basics, that is, the structure of the imperial city.
The imperial city was very large, and in addition to the emperor's harem, there were many institutions in the imperial city. There is only one man in the harem who can enter and leave freely, and there are many men who can enter and leave the imperial city freely. The palace guards and imperial doctors are all resident, and the ministers who go to the court every day, and some institutions are directly located in the imperial city.
The south three places where Yuan Feng lived were the residences of the princes, the east of the imperial city, and the east palace where the prince lived was in the same area, which could be said to be separated by a wall, only separated by a nine dragon wall.
The South Three Houses Gu Mingsi is a combination of the three courtyards and three courtyards, which are for princes over the age of seven to live, generally until the age of fifteen, and at most to the age of eighteen. The sons of Emperor Yongchang have long been adults, and Emperor Yongchang looks unhappy, so he has all the domains, in addition to the prince of the East Palace, the ones who still live in the palace are Fengchi and Yuanfeng.
It was also from the south of the three institutes that the imperial city could not be entered freely. In the same way, he can't move around at will, and there is a yamen organization before the South Third Institute, and there are many men in and out of it. After the South Three Institutes is the harem range, any one of them is a nobleman, and you can't just walk around.
"In other words, I can't go anywhere except the South Sansho." Su Jinqiu came to a conclusion directly.
No matter how big the South Three Institute is, it is the courtyard of Sanjin, and there is not even a garden. Although the Su family is a courtier's mansion, she can still walk around the garden at will, but she didn't expect it to be more difficult, and the only space she can move in is in her own house.
Mama nodded and said, "But the girl will be in the future, and she will live in the palace, so she will definitely go to the harem to ask for peace, and it is best to have the princess to guide her, and Wei Tonglu, so it is more convenient." ”
The crown princess and Wei gave the queen, and the queen mother asked for peace as a matter of course, and the daughter-in-law waited for her mother-in-law and mother-in-law. Yuanfeng is a king with a different surname, and Su Jinqiu, as Yuanfeng's main room, although he can say goodbye to his uncle and grandmother, he is always a little weird. And there are many affairs in the harem, and the crown princess is also the first day of junior high school, and after the fifteenth pass, Su Jinqiu will follow.
If the crown princess said that she didn't need to go, Su Jinqiu didn't have to force it, anyway, it would be right for the princess to ask for peace. After entering the palace, if you don't know how to deal with it, you can also ask the princess.
In short, whatever the crown princess asks her to do, she will do, and the crown princess will do it for her good.
"His Royal Highness King Qi is in the palace, isn't it...... Very unpopular? Su Jinqiu couldn't help but ask.
Although the grandmothers said it very vaguely, she could clearly feel that the queen mother and the queen seemed to be a little ...... for Yuanfeng I don't want to see it, the queen wants to see the face of Emperor Yongchang, and she must be much more polite. Empress Dowager Chen's dislike for Yuanfeng is only afraid that it is obvious.
Mama smiled and said: "Girl, don't worry, the Queen Mother and the Queen are very generous people, and they will definitely not be difficult for the girl." ”
Su Jinqiu understands that it seems that the two big bosses in the harem are not too interested in Yuanfeng, and as Qi, he doesn't have to think about pleasing them. It's good to be able to pass with your face, so as not to be bored.
Thinking about Yuan Feng's personality, it's not easy to say that I love him. Emperor Yongchang can favor him well, and he must have an alternative taste. Empress Dowager Chen and Empress Chen are both normal human beings, and it is normal to look down on Yuan Feng. It is estimated that it is the crown princess, and it is estimated that it is also based on Feng Qi's points, otherwise he will not pay much attention to it.
It took about ten days to explain the theory, and then the practical lecture began. Su Huaiyu finally came back, but she was helpless at this point. Su Jinqiu saw a lot, the so-called debts are not worried, it is already like this, there is nothing to worry about, I really can't think of anything else that can happen.
The days passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, the New Year came, and Su Jinqiu was thirteen years old. Everything is simple for the New Year in filial piety, plus the Su family has a small population, and there is no need to socialize, so it is very easy to go up and down.
After February, Su Jinqiu was filial piety for nine months as a granddaughter, and Emperor Yongchang officially decreed marriage.
