Chapter 67: Entering the Palace
Yin Xiaohe was finally selected as he wished, and the drums in the underworld were announced, and after a long period of celebration, when Yin Gang decided to hold a banquet, he heard the news of Deng Xun's death, and he had to do it.
Yin Xiaohe was arranged into the Chengfu Palace, because the queen has not yet been established, the status of the nobleman is the most honorable. In addition to her, Song Jun was also named a nobleman. Li's Xiao'e, Yuan's sisters were named beauties. Five people were named palace people, and two people with poor family backgrounds were named women. Each was assigned a palace to live in.
The Chengfu Hall is not far from the Deyang Hall of the Son of Heaven, which also makes Yin Xiao and excited inexplicably. This shows that she is also the person closest to the Son of Heaven. The family asked Lian'er to accompany her into the palace, and also chose the nurse Zheng to accompany her, these two people have been with her since childhood, and they are the closest.
Before entering the Chengfu Palace, I saw two little eunuchs running to report: "Yin noble, the Queen Mother issued a decree and ordered all the concubines to enter the Jiade Hall to see you." She wanted to meet everyone, and said that it happened that all the halls were being cleaned, and she also accompanied her to talk. ”
Yin Xiaohe saw this formation when she entered the palace, and she was also a little panicked, but after all, she was a young lady from a big family, and she was used to seeing everything since she was a child, so she only said lightly: "Got it, Lian'er, reward!" ”
Lian'er immediately took out two silver bracelets from her bag, handed them to the two of them, and said, "The nobles will reward them, and they will serve them well in the future!" ”
The two little eunuchs reported that there was a reward, as if they were happy, and said busily: "Your honor, you are polite, please come with us, the land in this palace has been used for a long time, there are some pits, you should be careful, it is not far away!" ”
It was said that it was not far, but it was not close, and after walking for half an hour, I saw a few concubines who were also selected to walk towards the Jiade Palace. Lian'er muttered in her mouth: "This queen mother is too unsympathetic, she just entered the palace." Before I can catch my breath, I am about to be summoned, and I can't wait for tomorrow morning. Miss has never walked for such a long time, and she has to walk back for a while, so we are also nobles, why don't we even get on the sedan chair! ”
Yin Li naturally heard her muttering and ignored it. Her feet had started to hurt. But she just entered the palace, and she couldn't figure out what kind of temperament this queen mother was, but she heard that the emperor was very afraid of this queen mother Dou. If you accidentally offend, you don't know what the consequences are, so it's better to be cautious and be careful! With this in mind. Although I haven't suffered this since I was a child, I have endured it.
The Jiade Hall was added by Zheng Zhong. Trimmed, added a lot of flowers, pavilions, appear more spacious and magnificent. Wang Yin'er was already standing at the gate of the Jiade Hall to greet her. She applied a little fat powder today, and her delicate face had a hint of redness, looking young and charming. Every time she came, she asked the maid to bring in. Seats have been set up long ago. Yin Xiaohe sat down and knew that he was the last to arrive, and he couldn't help but cry bitterly, although he was close to the emperor's palace, he was far away from the queen mother's bedroom.
Because she and Song Jun had the most respected status, they knelt down to ask the Queen Mother for peace with the two of them.
Empress Dowager Dou since Dou Xian was punished, she was forced to hand over the six seals, she has been sick, washing her face with tears every day, and her body has gradually lost weight.
In today's general election, she was supposed to participate with the emperor, but she pushed it off because she didn't want to see the triumphant appearance of those old ministers. But after all, she is still the master of the harem, and the emperor has no queen, so naturally, the harem has to be presided over by her. So while arranging for the new lords to enter the palace, he ordered someone to clean the palace.
Calling the concubine to see her was her sudden idea, remembering that when she first entered the palace, the Empress Dowager Ma had also asked for this, and now it is reasonable to think about it, first, she did not participate in the selection of concubines, I don't know what the emperor's vision is. Second, the royal family has added people to import, and when the mother always has to say something, in the future, she will inevitably meet day and night, and this gift is better to let yourself take the lead.
She said lightly: "Get up, raise your head and let the mourning family see!" ”
Her gaze swept from Yin Xiaohe to Song Jun's face one by one, and asked, "Whose girl are you and what is your name?" The emperor named you a nobleman, your little appearance is dignified and beautiful, and it is really good. ”
Song Jun Shili replied: "The little daughter Song Jun, my father Song Cong is from Guiyang, and he is currently the Taishou of Guiyang. Empress Dowager Dou nodded and said, "Very good, well-behaved, the mourning family likes it very much." She looked at Yin Xiaohe's face again, looked at it for a while and asked, "You are also a nobleman?" The emperor only understands beauty pageants, but he doesn't know how to choose talents, you kid has three points of charm, beauty is beautiful, but it is far from being virtuous. But since it was chosen by the emperor, the mourning family can't control so much. ”
With this sentence, Yin Xiaohe's tears almost fell, doesn't this evaluation say that he is not as good as that Song Jun? Her background is much more noble than hers. "Queen Mother, my name is Yin Xiaohe, and I am the daughter of Yin Gang. Nicknamed Li'er! ”
"Oh? Then you are still the emperor's cousin, or serve the emperor wholeheartedly, I can't imagine that Yin Gang has such a flower-like daughter! She didn't ask anyone else, waved her hand and said: "Yin'er, please sit down, prepare tea, let them rest here, wait a while, pack up, let them go back, mourning family tired, go back to rest." ”
She stood up and turned into the back hall, throwing down twelve beautiful girls who were like flowers and did not dare to stand on the spot.
Seeing that they were embarrassed, Wang Yin'er laughed twice and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, sit down in order, come and serve tea!" ”
The dripping in the Garter Hall turned silently, and it was time to hold the lamp, and the attendants and maids in the palace came to report the news, and they had packed up and stopped, and they were tired for a day, and the tired new masters stood up.
Wang Yin'er said with a smile: "You are not in a hurry, come here, prepare for your new master!" ”
The Chengfu Hall is a two-hall courtyard. After entering the door, there is an empty courtyard that is the main hall leisurely, and behind the leisurely residence is a small garden. On both sides is the east and west side of the hall, and the south side is called Heran Xuan, which is for the concubines to live in the summer. The front porch of the main hall and the two side halls are connected with the back porch of Heranxuan, forming a square palace courtyard. There are a few osmanthus trees planted in front of the leisurely residence, the Empress Dowager Dou prefers osmanthus, the osmanthus trees can be seen everywhere in the palace, although it is not in season, but it is not withered due to the season, the flowers bloom and flourish, and you can smell a burst of flower fragrance from afar. It makes people fascinated and relaxed.
The people of the palace in the Chengfu Palace have been waiting outside the hall, and when they saw Yin Xiaohe falling off the sedan chair, they came out to help them and rushed in.
It wasn't until he really sat on the collapse that Yin Xiaohe felt his whole body relaxed, and the fatigue of the day rushed up at this time. I feel like I can't lift my eyelids. But the palace people up and down the palace knelt in front of them to say goodbye. I had to cheer up.
She looked around, and the leisurely residence was really a leisurely place, the embroidered screen of the Liuhe fan. They are all flowers and birds, with bright colors and lively pictures, which really make people leisurely and complacent. Incense table. Palace fan, incense pavilion. The stove is readily available, and the quiet collapse under the body is also soft and comfortable, and the interior is already under the palm lamp, under the soft light and shadow. All the palace people knelt together, looking very incongruous.
She coughed lightly and asked, "Who is the steward of the temple?" ”
I saw a eunuch and a palace maid kowtowing and asking for Andao: "The slave inherits the blessing of the Yellow Gate Cui Huang in the palace." The slave and maid Chengfu Hall served Cui Ying'er. See Yin nobles! ”
Yin Xiaohe looked at them for a moment and asked, "You are all surnamed Cui." But what does it matter? ”
Cui Huang was thirty-seven or eighteen years old, with a shrewd and capable face, and replied: "We are indeed related, Cui Ying'er is my cousin!" ”
"Oh!" Yin Xiaohe was slightly curious, and looked at Cui Ying'er, with a delicate face, about thirty years old, with bright eyes, very stable and dignified.
"Whether it is a relative or a matter of honor, you will be able to serve your master wholeheartedly." She was silent for a while, looked at the other people kneeling below, and felt that she really didn't have the energy to remember those names and positions, so she simply said: "Lian'er, it's my personal maid, you don't know my temperament and preferences, and you have something to ask her about it." This is my nurse, who has served me since I was a child, and you all respect her. That's all I ask, as for me, you have to learn to obey, just don't make trouble for me. Lian'er, reward everyone, get ready to take a bath, I'm very tired. ”
By the time she lay down comfortably on the bed, she felt like she had lost her strength, and the great momentum of the palace swirled in her mind, until she turned to herself in a daze and fell asleep.
This night, I slept very deeply, until Lian'er whispered to her outside the curtain, and then asked in a daze, "What time is it?" ”
Lian'er smiled: "Miss, it's almost noon, get up quickly, let people see jokes on the first day." ”
"What?" Yin Xiaohe sat up suddenly, and when he opened the curtain to look, he saw that the sunlight had entered the room, and his face turned red and said, "Dead girl, why didn't you call me earlier, come in and freshen up for me!" ”
Lian'er entered the house with a wooden basin in her hand, muttering in her mouth, "Miss, the Queen Mother has sent a decree that she will see her every ten days in the future, don't bother her if she has nothing to do, I estimate that there is nothing wrong, I know that Miss was tired yesterday, so I will let you sleep enough." ”
"Miss Don't, are you in the palace? I am a noble person now, and in the future, I will be called a noble person, remember? Yin Li said dissatisfiedly as she got up.
Lian'er smiled and slapped her mouth and said, "Look at my memory, noble and noble, if you call it wrong in the future, you will hit this stinky mouth!" ”
Yin Li was amused by her and said, "If you have a stinky mouth, then if you spit it out, it will be a bad word, and I don't dare to ask you to wait." ”
As she was talking, Cui Ying'er came in from outside and said, "Your honor, the emperor said today that you should let the new masters have a good rest, and they are gone." ”
"Didn't the emperor mention me? Is there a description of the first time you will see me? Yin Li asked anxiously.
"This, nobleman, the emperor didn't mention it!" Cui Ying'er was so difficult to open her mouth when she asked, so she had to tell the truth.
"Oh!" Yin Li dragged out his voice, looking extremely disappointed, and then said happily: "It's okay if you don't see you, after a while, let's go around the palace, I heard that the scenery in the palace is extremely beautiful!" ”
Cui Ying'er smiled slightly: "Exactly, the noble person is new, it's good to take a look." ”
After grooming, Yin Li changed into a new green shirt, which made her delicate face more beautiful, and she felt satisfied with the bronze mirror, and then left the leisurely residence.
The east chamber is the place where the emperor usually rests when he is lucky, and the west chamber is the place where the nobles rest, and the dormitory is the back hall of the leisurely residence.
Because he knew that the emperor would not come, and he didn't care about any manners, he ran to the door of the leisurely residence in three steps and two steps, and suddenly felt a breeze blowing on his face, blowing the summer air of the autumn afternoon clean, and he was in a good mood for a while. shouted at Lian'er behind him: "Lian'er, come quickly, quickly, why are you walking so slowly!" When I turned around, I bumped into someone. (To be continued)
