Under this childlike thought, she ignored him, slowly stepped out of the moral hall, walked into the main hall, and found that the scene had changed, under the steps to the east, her sister Jin Concubine led the solemn standing, and below was the palace maid and eunuch, standing in a row, silent. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

On the top of the steps stood a tall eunuch in three-grade clothes, with a slightly raised face, his posture was not arrogant, but he looked like he was out of the sky. It goes without saying that this is Li Lianying.

Li Lianying, Concubine Jin, and all the eyes of everyone turned to Concubine Zhen. Obviously, when she arrived, he could make the decree. Such a scene was enough to make people feel intimidated, and the anxiety of being late made them feel even more embarrassed.

However, it immediately occurred to Concubine Zhen that although she was only thirteen years old, her current status was second only to that of the queen, and she did not need to be humble to anyone here except her sister.

Everything is the most important thing for the first time, I only abide by the etiquette and identity, what should I do! There is no need to be accommodating, so as not to be underestimated.

Therefore, she straightened up, her eyes were level, and approached the steps unhurriedly, then stopped, raised her right arm, and looked back slightly. This action is done calmly and just right, so the meaning is obvious: to be supported.

So Zhen'er behind her took a step forward, lifted her right arm with both hands, looked at the ground, and carefully helped her down the steps until Concubine Jin stood still.

She put up the concubine's shelf like this, which made Li Lianying impressed, lowered her hands, and said first: "Feng Yizhi." Then he stopped and waited for the two concubines to kneel, Fang Shi raised his voice and said, "Lafayette said: Reward Concubine Jin and Concubine Zhen for a table." Shane! ”

When Concubine Jin and Concubine Zhen kowtowed to the north, Li Lianying had already gone down the steps, stood in the west, waited for their sisters to come together, and then invited Shuang'an.

"Slave Li Lianying, congratulations to the two masters!"

This is also to kowtow and congratulate. Concubine Jin didn't know the rules of the palace, the eunuch kowtowed to the master, and she only felt that the rules of the family were respected and respected, and Li Lianying was a favored person in front of the Empress Dowager Cixi, so she should be extra polite.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be. No more kowtowing! ”

"Yes!" Li Lianying originally had no intention of giving a big gift to these two sisters, so she immediately said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

"You wait!" Concubine Jin's mother had already prepared a reward for their sisters, and the heaviest one of two hundred taels of silver was specially prepared for Li Lianying, which was already in the hands of the palace maid at this time, and she naturally issued the reward.

"The two masters have rewarded too much." Li Lianying asked for another peace.

Li Lianying's task of preaching Yiyi's decree has come to an end, and she could have resigned, and the Empress Dowager Cixi, who was listening to the play in Shufangzhai, had also reached the time to pass on dinner, so she should serve and take care of her there, and he should not be allowed to stay here longer.

But he left everything behind, stayed, and volunteered to serve as a messenger.

The wedding meal for the reward was prepared by the Imperial Dining Room located south of the Heart Cultivation Hall and north of the Military Aircraft Department.

It is called a table, in fact, there is more than one table, a total of seven tables of size, plus more than a dozen vermilion lacquer food boxes, carried and held by a team of neatly dressed eunuchs, from the West Erchang Street through the Chongxi Gate, into the Yikun Gate, and set up in the main hall of the Yikun Palace.

Li Lianying put on her white cloth sleeves, set up the dishes herself, and when everything was in order, she invited Concubine Jin and Concubine Zhen to take a seat.

When I entered the hall, I realized the so-called "wealth of the heavenly family", and said that "the abbot before eating" is still shallow.

There are at least fifty or sixty kinds of dishes on the two large rectangular tables, and the utensils are a covered sea bowl with vermilion characters and fine porcelain, or a large plate with a diameter of nearly a foot.

There is a silver medal in the plate and bowl, which is designed to prevent poison, and if the food is poisoned, the silver medal will turn black when it touches the food.

In addition, there are four small dining tables for dim sum, side dishes, hot pot and porridge. Meals are not allowed to be called "meals" but "meals", and meals are not allowed to be called "eating" but "entering", so meals are called "meals".

"Please have a wedding meal for the two masters!" Li Lianying then shouted: "Hit the bowl lid!" ”

So four or five eunuchs quickly removed the lid of the bowl and put it in a large wooden box and took it away. The two sisters sat side by side, and then a palace maid handed over heavy gold inlaid chopsticks, and at the same time reported the name of the dish wherever the two sisters looked.

This kind of eating is something that Sister Jinzhen could not dream of. Especially Concubine Zhen, under the gaze of so many people, she really hesitated and couldn't swallow.

And thinking of the situation of the temple offering, I couldn't help but laugh, and almost laughed out loud.

"Lafayette's reward," said the cautious concubine to her sister, "eat more." ”

This time, Concubine Zhen had to work hard to add food, but the meal was too rich, even if she tasted it, she couldn't taste a third, and she felt extremely full, and the time to eat took a whole hour.

After they rinsed their mouths and sat down, Li Lianying said goodbye, and then, the palace gate was down.

"Closed and locked so early?" Concubine Zhen asked the eunuch Wang Deshou.

"Yes! Here's how it works. Wang Deshou replied, "The palace is different from the outside, they all get up in the middle of the night, so they rest early." ”

"Oh, what else?" Concubine Zhen asked, "Who else are in power?" ”

As far as these "people" refer to eunuchs, Wang Deshou bent his hand and said: "Li Lianying has to count Cui Yugui when he comes down, he is the second chief manager, and then he comes down to hard Liu ......." ”

"How do you call it a hard Liu?"

"His temper is very hard, sometimes even Lafayette gives him a point or two, so he calls him hard Liu, only Li Lianying calls him Xiao Liu. He is very young, but he has studied and often reads "Declaration", and Lafayette sometimes has to talk to people about current affairs, and only Hard Liu can deal with it. ”

"I see." Concubine Zhen asked again: "What about the emperor?" Who is favored? ”

"Long live the Lord, there is nothing particularly favored. However," Wang Deshou looked back and lowered his voice, "There is a person, the master has to pay a little attention." ”

Seeing his vigilant demeanor for fear that the wall would have ears, Concubine Zhen was taken aback, and asked with wide eyes, "Who?" ”

"It is the chief eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, surnamed Wang, named Wang Xiang, and everyone calls him King Xiang. He is....... ”

Wang Deshou suddenly paused, the expression on his face was very strange, fear and regret were mixed, obviously he found that he had lost his words, and he didn't dare to say any more.

Of course, Concubine Zhen refused to be silent, "Why don't you finish?" She asked.

"Slaves are talking nonsense." Wang Deshou laughed with him, "Master, don't take the words of the slave to heart. ”

"It doesn't matter, you just say it."

"There's really nothing to say! The slave is talking nonsense, and the master is only a slave and does not say anything. (To be continued.) )
