Chapter 52: The Palace
In the next few days, Fu Tianqing really went to Fuzhitang in the morning and dusk as usual, except for meal time in the morning, Fu Tianqing almost stayed in front of the old lady, and went to Fuzhitang before taking a nap and dinner.
For a few days, Fu Tianqing was detained by the old lady and ran out of time for herself, and the old lady either asked her to familiarize herself with the book of female precepts or asked her to copy Buddhist scriptures. In her old man's words, it was to grind his temperament, but Fu Tianqing felt like a piece of wood all day long. She only now realized that the old lady was really afraid that she would be in the limelight, so she wanted to press it.
On this day, I just returned to Fushengzhai, and Li's mother sent a letter.
"It was sent by Miss An from the Guogong Mansion, and I heard that she has entered the palace today."
Fu Tianqing opened the letter and asked, "So fast?" Didn't you just hear the sound and didn't see the action in the past, why did you just release the news and already entered the palace? Do you know the specific news? ”
Fushengzhai now has his own connections, and although it is not pleasant to inquire about the news, it can also be known.
Li's mother said: "A few days ago, the palace issued an official document to the outside world, which was originally a matter that had been prepared two months ago, and now the holy decree is given, and the person who was originally going to enter the palace is directly entered." However, I heard that the emperor was impatient to see a large number of people, so he only selected the best ones according to their family backgrounds among the many selected show girls and directly summoned them to the palace. ”
Fu Tianqing read the letter before saying: "No wonder, the emperor only recruited ten newcomers into the palace, although it is the least time in the history of the Daye Dynasty, it is the most time that the saint has been included in the harem today." There are now more than ten concubines in the palace, and they are all sent to the palace several times. An Xin was directly named Concubine Jing this time because of her identity, which can be regarded as the emperor's great favor. ”
Mother Li listened to Fu Tianqing's eloquent words, and suddenly felt that her girl was more and more like the lady when she was young when she talked about these things, and she was no longer like the petite and cowardly little person she used to be, and she could stand alone when she got married in the future. Mother Li couldn't help but sigh with emotion, if Mrs. knew how good it would be to have such a day, and then remembered the letter and asked, "Miss An actually told Miss this to Miss, but I didn't see that she valued you so much." ”
Fu Tianqing shook her head and said: "She probably has nothing to say, just entered the palace, these people have all been rewarded, directly into the West Garden, An Xin said that the day after tomorrow will hold her concubine ceremony, and asked me to enter the palace to see her in a few days." Fu Tianqing felt that these were not private matters, even if they were written in a letter to tell her, it would not hurt.
Mother Li looked at the letter and said cautiously: "It's better to burn it after reading it, so as not to be used by someone with a heart." The fact that you are friendly with the palace concubine is easy to cause trouble. ”
Fu Tianqing said these things to Mother Li, and she also felt that Mother Li was a person who had come over, had seen or heard about the wind and waves, and could mention her, and sure enough, she would not notice these small details.
It happened that Zi dipped in tea and came in, so Li's mother ordered her to bring the blue and white seawater pattern incense burner on the incense table, and asked her to fetch the fire fold. Immediately, with Fu Tianqing's consent, the page of paper was lit and scattered into ashes in the incense burner.
Fushengzhai is now much stricter, and a few little girls dare not step into the main house without the permission of their masters. Since the last time Fu Xinqing came to make a small fuss, Li's mother reprimanded the maid strictly under Fu Tianqing's instructions, and also reformulated a set of plans to deal with outsiders.
Now, if the second room and the second room of Fushengzhai are in Fu Tianqing's absence, it is necessary to keep them.
Zi Zhen looked at Mother Li and was puzzled when she finished doing this, but she didn't dare to ask, although she was not a smart person, she knew a little, that is, the less she knew, the safer. Fu Tianqing's reuse of her is to value her concentration
Zihuan came in and smelled a smell of paper ashes, so he asked, "What is this burning?" ”
Li's mother said in front of the two girls: "It's better to be careful with some letters, although they are placed in your own house, it is inevitable that someone will see them one day, so it is better to burn the insurance like this." ”
"Oh." Zihuan nodded as if she didn't understand, but she knew one thing, that is, whether she should burn her to listen to her master.
Zihuan said again: "Miss, what do you want to eat, I'll go and tell the kitchen." ”
Fu Tianqing happened to have nothing to say to Mother Li, so she also nodded and said, "You let the two grandmothers watch it, and by the way, you can also tell the grandmother what you want to eat." ”
Zihuan said happily: "Okay," and then lifted the curtain and went out. Zi Yu retreated outside to guard with a very good look.
Fu Tianqing continued: "Mom, the palace is a place with a lot of right and wrong, I really don't want to go." ”
Mother Li didn't know this, and she also said: "But if Concubine Jing gives an order at that time, Miss can't push it." If you accidentally go in, you won't be afraid, just talk less and listen with your ears pricked up. ”
Fu Tianqing just complained, she naturally knew the rules of the palace. However, Li's mother knows a lot, and she can't help asking: "Did my mother enter the palace when she was young?" ”
Mother Li was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "The slave maid was indeed a palace maid released from the palace, and there was no one in the family anymore, so I was fortunate to follow my wife, and then I have been serving the young lady." ”
Fu Tianqing looked at Li's mother and said, "I see, I just said that my mother understands everything, and how can my mother be willing to give you to me." ”
Mother Li said: "It's just that she was born as a palace maid, so what is there to be rare." ”、
Fu Tianqing didn't argue with her about this, but asked, "Does Mom know what secrets there are in the former palace?" ”
Mother Li said: "When I was still the first emperor at that time, the queen mother was also there, and there was no secret, but the first emperor died suddenly, and the queen mother went to the palace, and never asked about anything in the palace again." However, today's saint and the queen mother are not the mother and son, which is also in the past. ”
The palace has been peaceful all these years, but Fu Tianqing is happy to watch the excitement
Some people and some things can't help but chatter, just after the newcomer entered the palace and was sealed, the queen mother over there also came back. The Queen Mother has been fasting and reciting Buddha for many years, and she is also old, so the emperor ordered the royal temple Dajue Temple to choose an auspicious day to pray for the Queen Mother. The capital instantly became in an uproar.
The day of praying for blessing is the third day of the Queen Mother's return to the palace, and the people are very face-saving on this day. The temple was hung up squarely to pray for blessings, and the monks also recited the scriptures. And the people gathered outside the temple had to watch outside the mountain gate, because there were several ladies in the palace who traveled to incense on this day.
