Chapter 11: Entering the Palace

On this day, everyone got up very early, had breakfast, packed up, and saw that the hour was almost up, and hurriedly got into the carriage and drove towards the palace. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, everyone got out of the carriage and walked in.

All the way to the palace is majestic, the golden glazed tiles shine dazzlingly in the sun, a straight road leads straight to the Yihua Gate, one side of the road is a corridor, which can be protected from the sun and the rain, and there are oncoming palace maids, all of whom are sideways to let them pass first.

Yang Leyi looked at this 'living' palace with great interest. In her previous life, she was shocked by the Forbidden City, which carried the majestic atmosphere of the Forbidden City, the center of imperial power of the two dynasties, and every brick and tile was soaked with the meaning of history.

And now immersive in this palace, although it is only a corner, but it is enough to see its atmosphere, if you can walk through the entire palace, it can be compared with the Forbidden City.

After passing the Yihua Gate, he also entered the realm of the harem, and Gonggong An was already waiting here, letting the little eunuch who led the way retreat.

The old lady said a few polite words to him, and then followed him to the queen's palace.

The style of this harem is very different from before, although the palace passing by is also solemn and atmospheric, but it is hidden in the ancient trees and flowers, and it is much more approachable.

Father-in-law An made an introduction to the places he had walked, because the wife of the inner life saw that the queen was walking this road, so it didn't hurt to know more.

The old lady thanked her, this palace is too big, and it is difficult to remember it once you go. With Grandpa An's instructions, it's at least easier to remember.

After a while, Gonggong An said that the queen's palace was almost there, and pointed in the direction. Sure enough, a palace that is obviously higher than the surrounding is not far away, around the palace, ancient trees and pines, green trees, more rockery and flowing water, rare flowers, the more you go inside, the more it reveals a sense of Jiangnan water town.

This different from the Beijing-style layout reminded Le Yi of the Empress He mentioned by her grandmother yesterday.

The emperor was just an unfavored prince before, and when he reached the age of marriage, there was no one to give Zhang Luo. Later, it was the old lady of Qingwangfu who saw that he was pitiful and intended to be a matchmaker, wanting to give him her distant niece.

But the emperor pushed it back, only saying that he had no plans to get married, so let's get here, forget it. But later, the emperor traveled to the south of the Yangtze River, and married the current queen half a year later, but the old concubine was angry, and he still doesn't care about the queen.

At that time, Le Yi was still thinking, this old lady's heart is too small, who said that being a matchmaker can succeed at one time, she has been on a blind date many times, and she has not looked at a pleasing one.

I didn't expect my mother to say the same, and my grandmother said that she didn't know very well, as if the niece and granddaughter of the concubine were rejected, and as a result, bad words came out somehow, and the young lady who was killed was looking for life and life, and she couldn't marry when she was old.

Later, I had no choice but to marry far away.

The old lady turned a good thing into a bad thing, and was ridiculed, as a powerless prince, he would rather marry someone who has no background, far away from the He family in Jiangnan, than marry the concubine's niece. When the old lady heard this, she was angry, so she angered the queen.

Who would have thought that this prince could finally become the emperor, and the He family naturally became the queen.

Everyone said that the old lady was too much of a loss, and a ready-made queen was so wrong about the past.

This makes the old lady feel better, it's really an indescribable matter.

Thinking that she was going to meet this queen who everyone said was too lucky, Le Yi was still a little apprehensive in her heart, because she thought of her ruthless mother in her previous life.

A middle-aged aunt stood at the gate of the palace, saw them coming, and took a few steps forward.

Father-in-law An saw her, and after saluting, he introduced to the old lady: "This is the aunt next to the queen's mother, Aunt Hua, and she is the mother's right-hand man." ”

Aunt Hua bowed and said, "The old lady is well, Mrs. Hou, the general's wife, the ladies of the princess, I am the aunt in charge of the queen's side, my surname is Hua, everyone calls me Aunt Hua." ”

She was tall and a little serious in appearance, but she walked with a light step.

"Niangniang is already in the main hall, please come with me."

Father-in-law An hurriedly retired, and everyone thanked him, and he walked in with Aunt Hua.

When they entered, a group of high-ranking palace maids and aunts walked out without making a sound.

Stepping into this very solemn and gorgeous palace, you will be greeted by a wide screen embroidered with the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Houses, streets, bridges, and children, men, women, and children all leap on the screen, vividly and vividly.

If it weren't for the ancient times, Yang Leyi would really think that this was a modern ink painting, and this embroidery art was simply superb.

Bypassing the screen, the inside is very wide, with four carved beams and pillars standing in four directions, and the marble paved floor is smooth and visible.

Before Aunt Hua could speak, a soft voice sounded.

"But Old Madam Lin has arrived?"

After finishing speaking, Queen He, who was sitting on a high position in the distance, walked down.

"Yes!" Aunt Hua led everyone to walk a few steps forward quickly, and when the queen was about to arrive, she took her hand.

The old lady led everyone to kneel down and kowtow in a proper manner.

"Old lady doesn't have to be polite, please get up."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

What caught everyone's eye was a beautiful and dignified woman, in Le Yi's view, she was a typical Jiangnan person, with light eyebrows, Qiong nose, cherry mouth, delicate skin, and a gorgeous dress with red embroidered flowers and birds singing phoenixes.

At this moment, she smiled and led the old lady to sit on the chair next to her, looking like a junior.

The old lady didn't dare to say anything, so she sat on half of the chair, and Feng and Liu sat in turn.

After seeing five children, the queen was full of praise, especially Yang Leyi.

A few days ago, when she heard her eldest son come back and say something, she paid special attention to this little girl. A water-blue dress looks particularly good on her, her face is round, her eyes are big, and what is even more rare is that she is very watery, she seems to be able to speak, and she has a small mouth of red cherry blossoms, and there are two small dimples when she laughs, which makes people want to kiss her.

No wonder talking about that night, although the emperor smiled a little helplessly, he was in a good mood.

Then I asked some people who are still used to coming to Beijing, whether they have tasted the food in the capital, whether the children are adaptable and other homely words, seeing that everyone is more restrained, so I asked Aunt Hua to take them to the side hall, she went to change her clothes, because she had just finished dealing with the affairs of the palace, and she had not had time to change out of this palace dress, and she would talk to them again after a while.

The old lady said that they came too early, but delayed the queen's arrangement, and was very sorry.

The queen smiled and asked her aunt to take them to the side hall.

The side hall is much smaller, but the decoration is warm and comfortable, which is completely different from the coldness of the main hall, and Aunt Hua said that this is the daily resting place of the queen's mother.

The couches and chairs here are covered with fluffy fur cushions and water lily pillows, and there is a square table by the window with some pen, ink, paper and inkstones.

The little palace maid brought two tall and short Dunzi over, and the Dunzi was wrapped in a thick soft cloth, and the soft ones were sat on for Yang Wenlin and Yang Leyi.

Aunt Hua instructed the palace ladies to serve tea and snacks, and asked them to wait for a while, and she went to serve the queen, and then also walked out.

Seeing that these palace maids were far away, Yang Wenlin had a small face: "It's not fun in this palace, grandmother, I'm tired." ”

Glaring at her little grandson, the old lady said: "There are no rules, this is the palace, it is the palace of the queen's mother, not a place for you to play, you should really sharpen your temperament, it is not as calm as your sister." ”

Liu also glanced at him warningly, and even the three brothers looked at him seriously.

Yang Wenlin knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he forgot what his mother had told him before leaving, and he would be cleaned up by his father when he went home at night.

Yang Leyi couldn't help but smile at his dejected appearance, pulled him to sit on the high pier, sat on the low pier himself, took out the five rings, and asked him to teach himself.

This is also too simple, Yang Wenlin immediately diverted his attention and played with his sister.

The old lady smiled and shook her head, she really didn't know who was carrying whom, and she felt more and more that her granddaughter was too sensible.

After a while, the queen who had changed her clothes walked in, didn't let them salute, and said with a smile: "It's easy now, the old lady and the two ladies must not be formal, today is a family banquet." My three kids will come over later, so that they can play together and we can talk. ”

After the rest just now, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also calmed down and said yes with a smile.

Looking at the little girl in a blue dress, Queen He called her to her, and said with a smile: "The emperor has not many heirs, and the princess is even less, I have always wanted a girl, but unfortunately I can't ask for it, the old lady is really a blessing, this child is happy to look at." ”
