84_84041 The rules of the Great Shun Dynasty are that on the first day of the Lunar New Year every year, officials above the fourth grade in Beijing must bring their families into the palace to give the emperor and queen a New Year's gift. Ministers meet the emperor, and women meet the queen. And if there is a concubine under the age of eight in the family, he can also bring them into the palace to meet the queen with the female dependents.

Entering the palace means giving gifts, especially for the New Year, whose gifts can't be too shabby. Of course, the gifts are mainly brought to the emperor by the men in the family as representatives, and the queen's side, if she has the heart, she can send it, if she really can't get the right one, it won't be rude if she doesn't give it. In a word, it's all about personal feelings.

He didn't say what kind of gift Feng Jinyuan prepared, and the children didn't ask, and the Feng family prepared another gift for the queen for the children, which was presented by the concubine Feng Yuheng on behalf of the queen.

That thing is a jade pillow, the jade quality is very outstanding, it is said that the old lady has treasured it in the warehouse for many years, and she has never been willing to use it.

Feng Yuheng himself also prepared two gifts, one for the queen and one for Concubine Yun, a complete set of cosmeceutical products from facial cleanser to skin serum to powder. This is purely a personal emotional act, and it has nothing to do with the Feng family, so she naturally has no need to sue the people of the Feng family.

Of course, there are many ladies and ladies who have the same idea as her, in addition to the big gifts to the masters, they must also prepare some small items such as golden melon seeds to reward the palace people, which are all necessary.

The Feng family also gave each of the girls a handful of golden melon seeds, after all, they are the family members of the Zhengyipin masters, and they must not be shabby when they go out.

In this way, Feng Jinyuan took his four daughters and one son to the palace in the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Zirui and Feng Yuheng rode in the same carriage, which was the palace car that Emperor Tianwu gave to Feng Yuheng. The first time the child took this car, he felt very fresh, and kept asking Huangquan what it was and what it was.

Feng Yuheng looked at Zirui and said, "You really don't need a maid to wait in the academy?" She had sent a girl with her, but she had only been there for a few days before she was sent back.

Zirui told her: "Even scholars are not allowed in the academy, where can I bring maids." The mountain chief said that we should do it ourselves, and we can't expect anyone to help. Rest assured, sister, I'm used to it, and I think I'm very good at it. ”

Hearing Zi Rui say this, Feng Yuheng also put his mind at ease, and he had a little bit of affirmation and respect for that emperor Ye Rong in his heart.

The group soon arrived at the gate of the palace, Feng Jinyuan's carriage went straight to the front door, but the female dependents had to go through the side door and enter the harem directly. But Feng Yuheng's carriage was stopped before it could turn.

The person who stopped the car was a eunuch, Feng Yuheng had seen it, and it was the person who was waiting by Emperor Tianwu's side with that Zhang Yuan. The coachman lifted the curtain and saw the eunuch saluting her respectfully, and then said: "County lord, the emperor has an order, please invite the young master of the Feng family to enter the palace with Feng Xiang, the emperor wants to meet his junior brother." ”

"Oh?" Feng Yuheng blinked, the emperor wants to see Zirui? Thinking about it, Ye Rong's disciple in the room, Emperor Tianwu has not officially met him. "Okay, then please wait a while, I will tell my brother to let him go with you after a few words."

"Princess, please."

The curtain of the car was lowered, and Feng Yuheng took Zirui's hand and said to him seriously: "Seeing the emperor is not a trivial matter, you must be cautious in everything, watch what others do when you salute, the emperor will only answer when he asks, and don't say much when you don't ask." You know? ”

Zirui nodded: "Sister, don't worry, these Zirui understand." After a while, Zirui followed the father-in-law to find his father, and I believe that his father would never let Zirui make a mistake in front of the emperor, after all, this is related to the honor of the entire Feng family. ”

Feng Yuheng had to sigh that this kid had indeed taught Yunlu Academy very well, not only sensible, but also speaking clearly, and being able to analyze things by herself, which made her very relieved.

So he didn't say more, and personally sent Zirui to the eunuch. At this time, Feng Jinyuan also rushed here, and as soon as he saw Zirui, he immediately took his hand and said, "You will follow your father, and you must not leave your father's side for half a step, you know?" ”

Zirui replied: "Father, don't worry, Zirui understands." ”

Feng Jinyuan nodded at Feng Yuheng at this time, turned around and left with Zirui. The eunuch also saluted her, and hurried to follow.

In fact, Feng Yuheng could see Feng Jinyuan's love for this son, but this love was mixed with a lot of impure things. That's not the father's love for his son, it's just that he sees hope in this son, and he has also analyzed how much glory and future glory Zirui will bring to the Feng family as the concubine of the Feng family. It is said that there is no father and son in the inner courtyard of the palace, but I don't know that in the mansion outside, the relationship between father and son and father and daughter is also pitiful. There are only dry calculations left between people, and there is no family affection to talk about.

She sat back in the carriage, and the coachman flicked her whip and rushed straight to the Jingxuan Gate into the harem.

The number of people who came to see on the first day of the new year was a scale that had not been seen in the previous palace banquets, and the people waiting in line to enter the palace were discharged from the palace gate for two miles. Feng Yuheng's carriage stopped at the end of the row, Huang Quan opened the curtain and took a look, and couldn't help frowning: "There was a little light snow this morning, and it was very cold, when can you get in this row!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a grandmother walking forward with a smile, leaning over the carriage, and asking, "But the county lord of Ji'an has arrived?" ”

Feng Yuheng stood up and walked outside the carriage, and said with a smile: "Exactly." ”

The grandmother's smile was even worse: "The county lord's carriage can go a little further inside, and you can get off at the second gate." The family members of the Zhengyi product are advanced, and you are still the county lord, so there is no need to queue up. ”

Fortunately, Feng Yuheng secretly said in her heart, she really didn't want to queue up for such a long time. So he thanked the grandmother, and led the first three carriages to the second gate.

The New Year's greeting is actually just a formality, the queen mother sits on the phoenix chair of the Zhengyang Palace, a large hall is full of people, all bow down to her, auspicious words come out one by one, and it is also festive to hear.

The four sisters of the Feng family knelt in the crowd and greeted everyone together, but the queen was far away, and she didn't get too much attention when she arrived.

Until the end of this scene, the palace people informed the ladies and ladies to move to the Jade Palace, and the New Year's palace banquet will start in two hours.

Feng Yuheng calculated, there were still two hours, four hours, enough for her to go to the Moon Cold Palace where Concubine Yun was located. Of course, before that, you still have to see the queen once and give the gift out.

So while everyone was walking out, he found a female official who was accompanying the queen and asked her, "I wonder if I can meet the queen?" ”

Although she didn't say it explicitly, of course the female official knew in her heart that the people who wanted to see the queen at this time were all people who gave gifts in private. In addition to Feng Yuheng, there are many people lined up over there. However, Feng Yuheng didn't have to line up, the female official nodded and smiled at her, and first said, "The county lord is polite!" I wish the county lord a prosperous New Year, and do whatever he wants. ”

Feng Yuheng smiled gratefully, and handed over a small box casually, "Borrow my aunt's auspicious words." "Inside the box was a small package of chocolates that she had packed when she was in the house.

The female official had already heard that there were always some novelties in the hands of the county lord of Ji'an, and when she saw that the cheesy things she used for her reward this time were not like ordinary people's vulgar things, her heart became even more happy. "The county lord, please come with me, the queen mother expected that the county lord would definitely ask to see him alone, and she told me early in the morning that there was no need to queue up."

As the female official entered the small hall at the back of the Zhengyang Palace, the queen sat on the main seat inside, and there were many things on the side, all of which were gifts from the ladies and ladies of the various families.

After Feng Yuheng came in, he saluted first, and then said: "Ah Heng has been taken care of by the queen many times since he returned to Beijing, and he is very grateful in his heart. It's a pity that Ah Heng can't find those precious and rare objects sent by other ladies and ladies, and this little gift can't get into the eyes of the mother. As she spoke, she raised the gift box in her hand to her and took it from her grandmother.

The queen was very enthusiastic when she saw her, and hurriedly said, "Get up quickly, don't kneel, give a seat." ”

"Xie Niangniang." Feng Yuheng got up, walked to the guest chair and sat down.

The queen was personally opening the gift box, and her face was hard to hide. It wasn't until the gift box was opened that a box full of cosmeceuticals made her a little stupid - "What is this?" ”

Feng Yuheng got up, stepped forward, and explained to her in person: "This is a complete set of skin care things, Niangniang, you see, this bottle is called facial cleanser, which is the most comfortable and clean for washing your face." You smell it, and it's still very fragrant. She said as she opened the lid and let the queen smell it.

The queen was surprised when she heard it, "This thing can wash your face?" ”

Feng Yuheng nodded, and then pointed to the other things in the box and said: "This is the serum of the skin, after washing the face, gently rub a layer on the face, which is the most nourishing skin." This is a cream...... "She explained to the queen one by one, and from time to time she tried it on the back of the queen's hand. The queen has changed from initial amazement to amazement, then ecstasy, and in the end, to obsession.

"It was all from your Persian master?"

Feng Yuheng nodded, thought for a while, and said, "There are also Ah Heng who developed it himself according to the method taught by the master. The queen mother can use it with confidence, if you think it is good, Ah Heng will send you a new one after these are used. ”

As soon as she heard that she was still available, the queen immediately became happy, and kept praising Feng Yuheng, hating to praise her as if she should be in the sky.

The palace people around him are also envious, but it is no wonder that this county lord of Ji'an can be favored by everyone, and there is really a reason! Compared with her gifts, the pearl jade agate or something given by the ladies and ladies is too ordinary to look at.

The palace people are very able to guess the master's intentions, and before the queen can tell them, they have already begun to move out all the customs gifts they received before, leaving only Feng Yuheng's set of medicinal makeup on the table.

The queen couldn't put it down, and simply said: "Ah Heng, this palace knows that you must be going to see Concubine Yun when you enter the palace, so you can go quickly, this palace will go back to the dormitory first, and then turn back to send your reward back to your mansion." Just go! Go for it! ”

This was almost driving people away, but Feng Yuheng didn't care, she knew what the queen meant, so she took a few steps back, saluted, and retreated respectfully.

Sure enough, she walked out of the hall with her front feet, and the queen immediately got up, picked up the box of cosmetics with her own hands and walked away from the apse. The palace people hurriedly followed, and listened to the queen: "Quick, go back and help the palace refresh, the palace will use this good thing to reapply makeup!" ”

Feng Yuheng withdrew from the jade apse, and as soon as he went out, Huang Quan greeted him. She pulled Huang Quan and walked forward quickly, and said at the same time: "Hurry up, let's go to the Moon Cold Palace." As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and his footsteps stopped
