Chapter 306: Entering the Palace (1)
In the past, she was still a little interested in the palace, but after entering the palace with Gu Xiyu last year, she felt that the farther away from this kind of place of right and wrong, the better.
Ye Qingning didn't know Ye Qinglan's thoughts, and wanted to take her with her: "Didn't you go with Cousin Xiyu once before?" I know more about court etiquette than I know, and I can feel more at ease with you when the time comes. ”
Ye Qinglan hesitated slightly. It is rare to have a rare opportunity to go out, and being able to go to the palace to see the world is also a good thing that ordinary people can't ask for. Ye Qingning insisted on taking her, just to let her open her eyes. I can also take the opportunity to improve my status, and I will be able to straighten my waist and be a person among my cousins in the future. Such a heart is really powerless to refuse
Ye Qingning saw that she was silent, and went to beg Zheng again: "Mother, you can agree!" Otherwise, I would have entered the palace alone, and there would be no one to talk to, how uncomfortable it was! ”
Zheng really relented. The daughter is about to get married, and the days around her are getting less and less. As long as he can satisfy her and make her happy, he promised her: "It's okay, Sister Lan will go with her." ”
Ye Qingning's eyes lit up, and he nodded happily.
Ye Qinglan hurriedly stepped forward to thank her. I've been staying in the house for the past two months, and it's really stuffy, so I'll go out for a walk tomorrow.
Zheng Zhengse said: "Entering the palace is no better than anything else, and you are particular about dressing and dressing. Tomorrow the palace will send grandma to dress you up, don't get up late, come early. ”
The two of them responded in unison.
After returning to the Hefeng Courtyard, Ye Qinglan went to see the Xue family and told the Xue family about entering the palace with Ye Qingning tomorrow.
Xue Shi was taken aback: "You mean, tomorrow you are going to accompany Sister Ning into the palace to see the concubine?" ”
Ye Qinglan nodded with a smile. Compared to her ruddy face and happy mood, Xue's mood was not so good. How decent it is to enter the palace, ordinary aristocratic women do not have this blessing. This stinky girl is lucky
After Ye Qingfu learned about this, she was envious, jealous and hateful. ran to the Xue family and cried and made trouble: "Why should all the good things be taken by her, I have grown so big, and I have never entered the palace!" No, I'm going too! ”
Xue Shi was already upset, and she was even more unhappy when she made such a fuss, and glared at her fiercely: "You also have a face to make trouble, I can't care about this matter." If you want to go, go and talk to your aunt. ”
At the mention of the Zheng family with a cold face, Ye Qingfu suddenly looked like a deflated ball. The aggrieved tears fell: "Mother, the eldest aunt is really eccentric, and she only takes the third sister with her." I'm a serious lady in the third room, what is she, but she is just a cheap girl born in the room, why do you have this blessing to enter the palace? ”
Xue Shi replied angrily: "Just because Sister Ning is happy with what she can coax, your eldest aunt will naturally treat her." All right. Don't mess around here, go back to the house and stay in peace. ”
After Ye Qingfu sobbed and left aggrievedly, Xue frowned. Then I didn't know what I thought, and a sneer flashed in my eyes.
Early the next morning, Ye Qinglan and Ye Qingning arrived in Luomei Courtyard early.
Last year, when she accompanied Gu Xiyu into the palace, Ye Qinglan had studied the palace rules for half a month. So he was very calm about entering the palace. Not nervous.
Although Ye Qingning was a little apprehensive in her heart, after all, she was a famous and noble girl who was carefully raised, and she was calm and calm. The grandmother who came to dress up and explain the court etiquette for the two of them. I was very satisfied with the two of them.
Zheng was also secretly surprised in his heart. Ye Qingning's appearance was expected by her, but Ye Qinglan's expression was very surprising. That down-and-out generosity and indifference are not inferior to Ye Qingning. With the Xue family's mind, how could it be possible to raise such an excellent and outstanding concubine?
Ye Qingfu's example is vividly placed there, which is enough to prove that the Xue family's goddaughter has no way. Ye Qinglan has such a temperament. How did you raise it?
After getting into the chariot, Zheng quickly put this trivial question behind him. smiled and talked to the grandmother in the palace. Those two grandmothers are all people who need to be used by Zheng Guifei's side, and they naturally dare not take a shelf in front of Zheng Guifei's own sister, and they chatted very speculatively along the way.
Ye Qingning sat upright, with a reserved face. The demeanor of a famous lady, in fact, it is always inevitable to be nervous when entering the palace for the first time, but she just pressed it in her heart and didn't show it.
Ye Qinglan quietly got closer, and quietly held Ye Qingning's hand with the help of her wide sleeves. Ye Qingning was caught off guard and was taken aback first. Reflexively turned his head and glanced at Ye Qinglan.
Ye Qinglan smiled slightly, and comforted Ye Qingning with her eyes. The subordinates secretly exerted force and clenched Ye Qingning's hand.
Ye Qingning's tense feelings really eased a lot, and until they entered the palace gate, neither of them let go of their hands.
got out of the car, followed the mama palace maids silently forward, made a few turns, and arrived at Zheng Guifei's bedroom. Compared with Queen Gu's Fengyi Palace, Concubine Zheng's bedroom is a little smaller, but it is exquisite and beautiful.
Ye Qinglan hung her head honestly and followed Ye Qingning into the main hall. Quietly pay attention to the furnishings inside with the corner of his eye, and his heart is secretly speechless.
This Concubine Zheng is really very favored, although the bedroom she lives in is slightly smaller than that of Queen Gu, the furnishings inside are almost the same.
Concubine Zheng Guifei was dressed in gorgeous palace clothes, sat with a smile, and after leading everyone to salute, she immediately smiled and said, "Sit down and talk quickly." Sister Ning sat closer and let the palace take a good look. ”
Ye Qingning responded respectfully and sat down beside Concubine Zheng. Good upbringing and bearing are fully revealed at this time.
Concubine Zheng couldn't help but praise a few words: "In a blink of an eye, Sister Ning has grown so big." has a good appearance, and knows how to know etiquette, which is really a good blessing for the second sister. ”
Zheng was secretly complacent in his heart, but he responded modestly: "The concubine is falsely praised." Ning'er has been willful since she was a child, and she is not disgusted by her brother and sister-in-law, so she decided on this family business. Otherwise, I'd be worried. ”
Concubine Zheng Guifei was amused, and asked some trivial things about the preparation of family affairs. Zheng answered them one by one. Ye Qingning basically didn't have to speak, and Ye Qinglan naturally didn't have to open her mouth, just sit silently on the side and act as a background.
In fact, Concubine Zheng didn't pay much attention to Ye Qinglan at all. only asked at the beginning, and after knowing that she was Ye Qingning's cousin, he didn't look at her again.
After a while, the highlight of the day finally came.
Several palace maids moved lightly, each holding a heavy brocade box in a row and walked in.
Concubine Zheng Guifei said with a smile: "Sister Ning is very happy, this aunt in this palace has to show some heart." These sets of head and face jewelry should be regarded as adding makeup to Sister Ning. Then he motioned to the palace ladies to open the brocade box.
All kinds of exquisite and expensive jewelry sparkle and make people simply dazzled. Even the Zheng family was secretly surprised by Zheng Guifei's generosity, and hurriedly made a color at Ye Qingning.
Ye Qingning immediately got up and thanked him.
Zheng smiled on the side again: "The concubine is so loving, it makes me and Sister Ning embarrassed." "The two sisters were close before they left the cabinet, but one married into Changyuan Bofu and the other entered the palace, so there were not many opportunities to meet and communicate. No matter how deep the affection is, there is not much left to wear away. Zheng Guifei's high-profile overtures this time are really unpredictable.
Concubine Zheng smiled meaningfully: "In the future, Sister Ning married into the Zheng Guogong Mansion, and she is the nephew and daughter-in-law of the palace." There are many opportunities to move around in the future, so there is no need to be so polite. ”
This sounds ordinary at first glance, but you can savor it carefully, but it is a little unspeakable. Zheng Guifei is clearly hinting at something......
Zheng's eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately responded with a smile: "What the noble concubine said is true." In less than a month, Ning'er got married. In the future, she will be the granddaughter-in-law of the Zheng Guogong Mansion. In the future, when you have free time, the concubine may wish to summon her to talk and relieve her boredom. ”
Zheng Guifei's behavior is clearly trying to win over Ye Qingning. It's no wonder that Ye Qingning is the granddaughter-in-law of the Zheng Guogong Mansion, and there will always be a day when she will be in charge of Zhongfeng in the future. Concubine Zheng and the three princes want to rely on the Zheng Guogong Mansion, so they naturally want to win people's hearts.
After figuring this out, Zheng was relieved. Zheng Guogong's Mansion and the third prince Zheng Guifei have long been tied to the same boat, both glory and loss, even if Zheng Guifei does not have these actions, she will tell Ye Qingning to get closer to Zheng Guifei in the future.
Zheng and Concubine Zheng exchanged a knowing smile, and quietly started gossiping. Obviously, it sounds like ordinary homely words, but it faintly reveals some other meanings.
Although Ye Qingning is smart, he lacks experience after all, and he didn't hear anything for a while.
Ye Qinglan heard some clues, and secretly moved in her heart, and also guessed the deep meaning behind Zheng Guifei's actions. After thinking about it again, I suddenly felt that it was not good.
The crown prince and the third prince are fighting openly and secretly, and the Dingguo Mansion and the Zhengguo Mansion are naturally-for-tat. In the future, Ye Qingning will marry Zheng Guogong's mansion, in case one day, he will marry Gu Xinian...... Isn't it a little embarrassing?
Although the women in the house don't care about the affairs of the court, they can still come and go. But such a clear difference between camps is really a headache
Ye Qinglan thought about it for a moment, only to feel that her head was big. The decisive decision put this sore problem aside. There are many problems between her and Gu Xinian, and it is not certain whether the marriage can be successful. It's too early to think about this! In case such an embarrassing situation really occurs a day later, think about how to deal with it.
As he was talking, a palace maid walked into the hall to report: "Concubine Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Third Prince has come down." ”
Concubine Zheng was also a little surprised, and got up to greet her with a smile. As soon as she got up, Zheng and the others naturally had to stand up.
The three princes of the Xuan Yu entered the side hall proudly. The Zheng family was busy leading Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan to salute the three princes together. The third prince originally had a calm face and was unhappy, but at this time he had to squeeze out a smile and shouted gently: "Auntie, cousin."
Concubine Zheng sensitively sensed that something was wrong with his face.
