Chapter III: Sealing
The queen is obsessed with Zihao, and she is supposed to be the show girl on the roster. Zhuyu, who was standing on the side and grinding ink, frowned at the roster: "Niangniang, this Lin family seal ......"
The queen raised her head and glanced at her, and took her words: "It's too high, isn't it?"
Zhuyu stopped grinding and nodded: "This rookie will be crowned a concubine when he first enters the palace, won't it threaten Niangniang's throne?"
"This is the emperor himself and the palace said that she was named a concubine, what can the palace do? Can this palace still be blocked? It's also thanks to her that she has a good father who is a master. The queen snorted coldly, "It's okay, the palace has been in the position of the princess for so long when the emperor was in the palace, and it hasn't been unstable." But presumably, this is not the only one who is most annoyed. ”
The queen put aside the Zihao in her hand, held the roster, and instructed Zhuyu sideways: "Zhuyu, go to Changle Palace with this palace." Suddenly seemed to think of something, bent his lips and smiled, and instructed Zhu Cui, who was cleaning up the pen and ink: "Zhu Cui, you want to find a way to leak some rumors to the person in Zhong Cui Palace." Look at a rookie Fang entering the palace and sitting on an equal footing with her, is she still comfortable? Don't forget that there is also a bit of a rumor in the Chengqian Palace. Let's see if they're still composed. ”
The queen rode the phoenix chariot to Changle Palace, and let people pass it on. After a while, Li Quanzhong, the eunuch in charge beside the emperor, walked out and bowed his waist: "Queen Mother, the emperor invites you in."
The queen nodded, this Li Quanzhong is the eunuch in charge of the emperor's side, and naturally the people in each palace have to give him some thin noodles. The queen walked in with the roster and watched the emperor sit in front of the desk and approve the folds. Leaning over and saluting, the emperor raised his head to look at her, and held his voice steady: "Get up."
The queen straightened up and handed the booklet in her hand to him, and when he took it, she spoke: "Your Majesty, now the positions of these beautiful girls have been prepared." Your Majesty, take a look? ”
The emperor picked up the booklet casually, glanced up and down, and then put the booklet away: "You are in charge, I can rest assured."
The queen was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a smile: "Yes, the concubine will live up to Your Majesty's high expectations."
The emperor rubbed his brows, leaned back on the back of the chair, and half-closed his eyes: "Is there anything else?"
The queen stared at his face, the emperor married her at the age of fourteen, and she was two years older than the emperor. Now the emperor is seventeen, but he is already nineteen, and he is about to be twenty. But there is no heir under his knees, how can he be willing to enter the palace now?
As the emperor now becomes more and more disgusted with those old ministers and likes to promote the children of the poor family, the Xiao family is gradually declining, and she must stabilize her position no matter what.
The queen retrieved the booklet and returned it to the palace.
The queen rubbed the booklet in her hand and said in a cold voice: "Zhuyu, you go and tell the people of Qin Tianjian to choose a good day to perform the canonization ceremony of the Lin clan." By the way, don't forget, it's a good day, don't just find a nearby day to fool the palace. As soon as Zhuyu heard it, she understood that this was to prolong the time of the Lin family's canonization ceremony, and she responded with a voice.
Chu Xuan lived in the mansion during this time, and in addition to dealing with the visits of those three aunts and six mothers-in-law from time to time, the rest of the time she listened to Qi Ying tell her some house fighting instructions. I don't know if I don't listen, I was shocked when I heard it, it turned out that she thought that there were so many dark waves surging in the Chu Mansion.
Chu Xuan and Qi Ying were carrying the materials sent from Mrs. Chu, and a maid sent a message asking them to go to the main hall to receive the order quickly. Chu Xuan didn't know what position he would seal.
Chu Xuan and Qi Ying hurriedly arrived at the main hall, and when the eunuchs took a look, everyone was here. Unfolded the piece of paper and cleared his throat: "Emperor Zhao said: Chu Xuan, the eldest daughter of Shaoqing of Sipin Taichang Temple, is a few graceful, and Rou Jiawei is elegant and pleasant, beautiful and light. Adhering to the order of the Queen Mother, it is registered as the eight-grade treasure forest. ”
Everyone knelt on the ground to receive the decree, and Chu Xuan held the holy decree and thought to himself. And Father Chu held a few silver tickets and stuffed them into the cuffs of the eunuch who announced the decree, and inquired about the position of this show girl. Chu Xuan couldn't help but be surprised when she learned that some of the show girls in this session would be registered as the second concubine. The rookie will be crowned as a concubine when he enters the palace? What a blessing.
After the father of Chu here and the eunuch of the decree inquired, the nurturing grandmother over there walked next to Chu Xuan and saluted, and now that Chu Xuan has been crowned a serious little master, these rites are naturally indispensable. Chu Xuan hurriedly helped her up, although this upbringing grandma is just a minion, but if she can't get used to you and deliberately goes wrong, you are still hidden in the dark, then you are dumb and eat coptis.
The eunuch hurried to the next family to announce the decree, and did not leave a sip of tea. After the eunuch left, Chu Xuan didn't have time to congratulate others to congratulate him, so he informed the old lady Chu and Chu's father, and led the nurturing grandmother back to the room.
Chu Xuan sat on the chair and listened to the situation in the palace by raising the grandmother: "Now the queen mother in the palace was originally the main room of the current emperor, and now she is made the queen in charge of the harem affairs, and even the canonization of the little masters is also drawn up by the queen mother, which is very respected by the emperor." And there is also Concubine He Niangniang in the palace, who is the side concubine in the emperor's mansion when he is in the palace, and she is quite favored. And Yi Gui Concubine is second. ”
Chu Xuan heard the clue as soon as he heard it, this is Concubine He who is favored but not in power, but the queen and the emperor are respectful of each other, maybe this is the so-called imperial technique.
Immediately after that, the upbringing grandmother introduced several high-ranking concubines, and Chu Xuan also had a little understanding of the situation in the palace.
The next few days are the time to educate the grandmother to teach the palace rules, the identities of the show girl and the concubine are very different, and the etiquette they are naturally used is also very different, so there must be no mistakes.
This half-month period is not long, but it is not short. After all this quiet time, it's time to go. Chu Xuan leaned against the window and listened to the sound of firecrackers outside the car, and gently touched the peace charm on his neck.
The road was bumpy, Chu Xuan didn't adapt very much, he was groggy in the car, and it took a long time to stop the carriage in front of the Zhu Wall. Yu Rong pulled the curtain and looked inside, and Chu Xuan was dizzy. She hurriedly beckoned Yufu to help Chu Xuan out, and walked slowly for a few steps before Chu Xuan gradually recovered.
At this time, there were also leading eunuchs who came to accompany them with smiling faces and led them to their place. Coincidentally, Yufu inquired a little about him and found out that Sun Yi's mother's niece Sun Ruyun lived in the same palace as Chu Xuan, and the most important thing was that she was a talented person, half a level higher than Chu Xuan's Baolin. This is not good news, and their residence, Mingguang Palace, also has a lordship, which is the highest Lin family in this election. I don't know whether to say that Chu Xuan is lucky or not.
Chu Xuan had just gotten off the carriage, and his mind was foggy, where could he care what the leading eunuch said. Carried by the jade hibiscus and Yurong to the Mingguang Palace.
