Chapter 161: Uncle Huang
Looking at the entire Shengjing, I am afraid that in addition to Prince Gong's palace in Crimea, only the palace where the monarch lives is not the felt tent where the Limeng people live. The towering palace gate and vermilion palace wall seem to be almost the same as the Jing'an Palace. However, when you walk inside, you will find that the architectural style of each palace, the few gardens in the palace, the few pavilions in the palace, and the promenades and aisles that can be seen everywhere are really far inferior to those of Jing'anguo. If the palace of Jing'an is a court lady dressed up, the palace of Mengguo is at most a noble lady who looks ordinary in a dress of command.
Minyi, who was carried in a soft sedan chair and walked in the palace, opened the curtains in the sedan chair with great interest at first and looked around, but after walking not far away, she put down the curtain and closed her eyes with some disappointment. Yesterday, I was tired for a day, and after sleeping for less than four hours, I was called up to dress up, but she was in good health, otherwise ordinary people would really not be able to bear it.
Originally, Wu Rina was proficient in the etiquette of the Limeng court, but now the inside has been replaced by a purple purple, and in order not to show her stuffing, Minyi did not take her into the palace. With no one to talk to her right now, Minyi could only close her eyes and recuperate.
The sedan chair swayed and continued to move forward, and Minyi felt like she was in a cradle, and she was a little drowsy not long after closing her eyes. I don't know how long it took, in a daze, I only felt that the sedan chair was gently placed on the ground and stopped, and the sound of Krimu outside sounded.
"Gegentana, we're here, come down."
Minyi opened her eyes and yawned, and after getting out of the sedan chair, she habitually stretched her waist with a big grin. Krimu hurriedly pressed her hand and reminded disapprovingly, "Have you forgotten what your father said last night?" Don't raise your hands above your head in the palace, it will make people feel frivolous and unstable. ”
The act of stretching your waist is at most a harmless little faux pass in Jing'an, but it is different here. The Limeng people only raise their hands above their heads when worshipping the gods, and in any other case, this behavior is considered disrespectful to the gods. Still a little uncomfortable with the foreign customs, Minyi muttered a vague complaint, stuck out her tongue and obediently followed behind Krimu, stepping into the door of the imperial study.
Kerimu has a crown like jade, and he has an elegant scholarly temperament, which can be regarded as an alternative among the rugged Limeng men. Probably a face Xiao mother, a reason why he looks like his father, his sibling brother Klitsa gave birth to a national face, although his facial features are not as delicate as his younger brother, but the momentum accumulated in the highest position all the year round makes him have a kind of kingly domineering in his gestures, and standing with his younger brother is not inferior at all.
When the father and daughter entered, Klitsa was buried in a pile of folds on the bookcase. Paper is produced in Jing'an, which is considered a luxury in the country of Limeng. In Limeng Guozhong, where the court meeting is held unless there is a major national event, it is one of the most common ways of communication between monarchs and ministers. As a result, there are a variety of twists and turns on the Krim bookcase, including bamboo slips, animal skins, and cloth, but the only thing missing is paper.
"The younger brother Krimu and the little girl Gegentana greet the royal brother."
Klitsa looked up and saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl behind his younger brother, saluting him.
The girl was dressed in a standard dress, and she couldn't see her appearance clearly when she lowered her head. Her posture of saluting was quite standard, it was estimated that she had been in large quantities for too long, stepping on the bottom of the flower pot, and her legs slightly bent at the knees trembled slightly.
"Flat." Instead of deliberately making things difficult for her, Klitsa showed a kind smile and bypassed his brother to ask directly about the niece who suddenly appeared. "You're Gergentana? I heard that you don't understand Limeng, did you grow up in Jing'an? ”
His Jing'an language is very standard, and he is not much more reckless than Krimu. Minyi raised her eyebrows unexpectedly and answered softly: "Yes." ”
Kerim was a little embarrassed to explain in Limeng: "When my brother was young and ignorant before, didn't he sneak out of the house and go to the people to play for a while. That's when I met the child's birth mother. The woman's appearance is okay, but her words and deeds are vulgar, and she can't be on the stage. The younger brother got tired of it after a while, and when he got home, he left her behind. This time, when I led the army to conquer Jing'an, my brother accidentally found this old man among the fleeing people, and only then did I learn that she actually married the Jing'an people with my flesh and blood three years after I left. The man she married later hated my daughter very much, and beat and scolded all day long. The younger brother was angry, so he killed both the dog and the man, and brought back his daughter. ”
Kritza nodded suddenly, "No wonder you didn't know anything about her origin in the previous recital, it turns out that there is such an unspeakable past." ”
In the concept of Limeng men, a woman who has been close to him marries someone else with her own flesh and blood, and let her children recognize others as their father, which is the biggest insult to a man, even if this woman is not wanted by himself. Therefore, the story made up by Krimu is very reasonable, and half of the doubts in Kricha's heart are removed at once.
Minyi, who didn't understand a word, looked at her nose and nose, and stood there quietly with her head down, looking very obedient.
As an aspiring monarch, Klitsa has a lot of affairs to deal with every day, and being able to take the time to meet the father and daughter and personally inquire about Minyi's origin is already very face-saving for his younger brother. Therefore, after getting the explanation he wanted to hear, he said a few words to Minyi lightly, and then rewarded some jewelry and served tea to the guests.
It wasn't until she got into the carriage back home that Minyi breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been amnestied. When he returned to his boudoir, he fell asleep and didn't take the reward he had just received to heart.
Unbeknownst to the father and daughter, not long after they left, a man in black appeared in the imperial study. Kricha, who was still amiable just now, had a serious face at this time, and issued an order to the visitor: "Activate the secret son of Prince Gong's mansion, and let him investigate the true origin of this Heshuo Gege as soon as possible."
