Chapter 406/4: Entering the Palace
Su Yan was silent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Seeing that the hour was not early, Su Miao said, "This is the first time I have sat in a sedan chair. While getting into the sedan chair.
The sedan chair is very spacious, it can sit two people, there were originally three sedan chairs, but Su Chan saw that there was another person sitting in the sedan chair that Su Miao was sitting on, she did not hesitate, and got into it, just in time for the maid to put down the sedan curtain.
This time, the three sisters who entered the palace brought a maid, and these maids were borrowed from Huixianglou, and their main function was to decorate the façade. Yicui, the maid who followed Su Miao, saw Su Chan get into Su Miao's sedan chair, and looked at Yichun, the maid who wanted to follow Su Chan.
Su Xian shook her head helplessly, turned around and walked to the sedan chair in the back, and got in, obviously not planning to care about the two in front.
Aftertaste has become accustomed to Su Chan's love for Su Miao, seeing this, he lightly ordered the empty sedan chair to go back, and then ordered to set off.
Su Miao and Su Chan sat in the sedan chair, after the sedan curtain was lowered, it was a little dark, the sedan chair man lifted the sedan chair, and shook it slightly to make Su Chan a little uncomfortable, she lifted the curtain on one side, but saw Su Yan, who was standing at the door in a daze, with a face with a stubble on her chin that deliberately did not shave, Su Chan looked at it for a while, no matter how she persuaded herself, she felt intolerable, and couldn't help but say to Su Miao:
"What's going on with Su Yan these days, although he was timid before, he wasn't as stupid as he is now, why is he stupid now, is there something wrong with his brain?"
"He is now lost at the crossroads of his life." Su Miao took a piece of dim sum from the secret box set up next to the sedan chair, put it in her mouth and took a bite.
"What?" Su Chan heard a lot of Chinese characters, but she couldn't understand the meaning of these Chinese characters grouped together.
"Yan'er is too soft, the boy who is full of sisters is easy to become squeamish, he himself is timid and shy, it's not that I can't take care of him for a lifetime, I can't take care of him for a lifetime, he must be separated from his sisters and learn to be an independent and responsible man."
"I think if he really likes it, it's okay to quit and become a chef, although the Su family is the only seedling, but it doesn't have to be a meritorious name to be considered a glorious ancestor, and it is just a meritorious name to be regarded as a glorious ancestor, and it is worthy of the ancestor to live well to pass on the incense."
"If he really likes it, I don't object, I insisted on letting him study just to let him learn more things, not to let him gain fame, but now even he is confused, I don't think he really likes my business, I used to want to learn to cook because he felt that as the only male in the Su family, he had the obligation to inherit the family business and carry it forward, and he pressed this kind of thing on his sister, he thought it was irresponsible for him. And now, he wanted to be a chef for another reason, he was running away from the difficulties he encountered, he wanted to get away from the human interactions that bothered him, he wanted to give up the unknown adventures that lay ahead of him that made him uncomfortable, and he felt more comfortable and comfortable retreating to the territory he was familiar with. Being a chef is a very boring job, if you don't really like it, you will go crazy in the kitchen from morning to night, in his half-hearted state, he can't enter the kitchen in this state, and when he can't do a good job, it's better to do nothing, calm down and think clearly. ”
Su Chan was silent for a while, she no longer dwelled on this topic, took a reddish apple from the dark compartment and began to nibble.
"Don't eat it, you have to touch up your makeup after eating the rouge on your mouth." Su Miao said.
"You say I, you're not eating almond crisp yourself."
Su Miao glanced at the almond crisp in her hand, thought about it, and took a bite again, chewing happily.
Su Chan continued to nibble on the apple in her hand.
From time to time, the two maids who followed the sedan chair could hear the sound of "clicking" from the sedan chair, and the two little faces were distorted into shape.
The sedan chair came out of Xue Minglou, and the road was bumpy for nearly half an hour, before it stopped for a short time, and Su Miao heard the sound of guards and aftertastes talking outside the sedan chair, probably at the gate of the palace. Because she was not interested in the main entrance of the palace, Su Miao did not open the curtain to look out, and after a while, the sedan chair was lifted again, as if she had entered the palace gate. From this time began a special smell rushed to the face, and quickly surrounded the people, this is the taste of the century-old palace city, the damp brick joints, the mottled brick walls, because the palace wall is too high and the ventilation in the long alley is not smooth enough to accumulate the smell, a lot of smells mixed together, forming a very special taste, this smell is extremely heavy and solemn, contains a lot of weight, people inadvertently breathe wrong, become suffocated.
"It's almost there." Su Miao, who was bored and in a daze, heard the sound of aftertaste coming softly from outside the sedan chair.
"Oh." She answered, took out a bright red rouge from her sleeve, printed it on her lips first, and then put it on Su Chan's lips.
Su Chan looked at the bright red rouge with hated eyes, but in the end she had to compromise under the "coercion" of the second sister's eyes, and reluctantly printed it.
About half an hour later, the sedan chair suddenly fell to the ground, making a soft sound of "dong", Su Miao guessed that it was probably Xue Guifei's Yong'an Palace that had finally arrived, and sure enough, aftertaste said outside:
"It's here, come down."
Then the sedan curtain was lifted, and the bright sunlight shone in, and she felt a little dazzling.
Su Miao and Su Chan got off the sedan chair in turn, stepped on a very wide blue brick road, looked to the south, and sure enough, they saw a gorgeous and majestic palace located in front of them, the palace on the top of the yellow glazed tile heavy eaves hall was built on the white marble pedestal of a single layer, from the table top to the main ridge at least 20 meters high, the eaves of the eaves of the palace have nine ridge beasts, the upper layer under the eaves is single and double-ang and seven steps on the bucket, decorated with golden dragons and seals, beautiful, magnificent.
Around the palace gate of Yong'an Palace, there was a circle of palace maids wearing beautiful light pink palace clothes with their heads and breathless, the huge palace, so many people, but it was so quiet that the needle could be heard, and the solemnity and tension spread silently, making people instinctively feel uncomfortable.
Su Miao took a look at the splendid Yong'an Palace, retracted her gaze, she had seen many world ruins, she didn't think that this palace was too majestic, but she felt that there were too few people here, and it seemed to be empty, although there were so many palace maids standing.
"I'll go in first, you guys wait here for a while." Aftertaste said to Su Miao.
Su Miao nodded, and after the aftertaste, she turned around and climbed the white marble steps and entered the Yong'an Palace unhurriedly.
The palace maids of Yong'an Palace were very familiar with the aftertaste, and he walked all the way, and the palace maids saluted silently until he stepped into the palace.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the process of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the palace is roughly said to Su Miao, when it is almost noon, the emperor will lead a group of people from the royal family to enjoy the osmanthus and his family in the Yuming Palace with the ministers and their families who have a head and face in the Yuming Palace, listen to the big drama and eat a feast by the way, in the afternoon, the fixed activity is to play polo on the polo field in the west of the palace, it is said that this is the most popular aristocratic sport now, the nobles and young masters of the Yue Liang Kingdom all like to play this sport, and the emperor also likes it, so he may take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to get a color head to play a game. At night, it is a serious Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, when you have to worship the moon, put on lights, eat moon cakes, and maybe watch a palace song and dance or something. These are all routine events, and there may be additional games as well, but since Yumi rarely attends such banquets, he doesn't know much about it.
I don't have much interest in other Su Miao, and if I want to find out what I want to see the most, it's probably to play polo, but Xiao Weiwei said that he doesn't want to play, so it's not interesting.
Su Miao stood on the edge of the white jade railing, raising her head boredly and looking up at the sky. Su Chan stood beside her, leaning on the railing as if she had no bones, her hands on her chest, and her face tightened. Only Su Xian walked around on the ground, saying that walking around was not accurate, she took two steps and turned around and walked two more steps, because the amplitude was not large, people who didn't look carefully only thought that she was moving to pass the time, and would not notice the tension in her heart at this time, but Su Miao saw it, looked at her and asked:
"Sister, are you nervous?"
Su Xian raised her eyelids and glanced at her, then at Su Chan, who seemed to be standing in the back kitchen of her house, and sneered:
"Should I say you two are bold, or should I say you two are heartless?"
"Even if you scare the guts, what's in it for you?" Su Chan asked in a flat voice.
Su Xian glared at her, and said angrily: "Dead girl, don't learn from the old lady to speak!" She took a deep breath, and her mood finally calmed down, and her hands were not shaking as much as they had just been under her sleeves, and shaking them into chaff would not do her any good anyway, but it would be worse if they were really shaken like that.
"Xiao Linzi is probably inside." Su Miao glanced at the main entrance of Yong'an Palace, yawned secretly, and said.
"It should be there, didn't she enter the palace to help the concubine organize the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and I don't know if her man is back, before entering the palace, her expression was like she couldn't get out if she went in, and I don't know what she was bullied this time again." Su Xian pursed her lips and said.
"No, it's better to mix outside for two years, so that it won't grow up but it's not as good as before." Su Miao said.
Su Xian pursed the corners of her mouth and snorted from her nose.
The three sisters waited outside the palace for nearly a quarter of an hour before a middle-aged woman with a stiff and dull facial expression as if carved out of wood came out of the palace gate of Yong'an Palace, went straight down the steps, and came to Su Miao, first looked at the three sisters of Su Miao with a lifeless gaze, and then spoke in a good time, and said unhurriedly:
"Three girls, go into the palace with the slaves."
The voice is very stiff, like a stone, and it makes people's hearts hairy.
Su Miao smiled: "Thank you for your work, thank you aunt." ”
The middle-aged woman didn't seem to hear her thanks, and after saying her words, she turned around with a straight turn at a ninety-degree angle, and walked steadily towards the Yong'an Palace. It can be regarded as leading the way, although she is walking on her own, and she doesn't plan to deal with the people who follow her at all, this aunt in charge feels like a board car that can only move in a straight line when she walks.
Su Xian couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Su Miao and Su Chan followed side by side behind Wen Kite, the palace maid in charge of Yong'an Palace, Su Xian followed behind her two sisters slowly, and the three of them entered the splendid palace in such a formation, bypassing a landscape painting screen that can definitely be called "towering into the clouds", a high threshold suddenly appeared in front of them, and at the signal of Wen Kite, the three sisters stopped three meters away from the threshold, and at this time they could faintly hear the sound of laughter coming from the other end of the threshold.
Wen Yuan stepped into the inner hall first, and Su Miao faintly heard her voice inside outside the threshold:
"Your Majesty, the concubine Niangniang, the three girls of the Su family are waiting outside the door."
The inner hall immediately fell silent, and after a pause of about half a minute, Liang Shuo's deep and deep voice came:
"Let them in."
Wen Yuan responded, came out of the inner hall, and beckoned to Su Miao and the others.
Su Miao nodded, the three sisters tacitly stood in accordance with their own ranks, Su Miao stood in the middle, Su Xian and Su Chan were on her left and right, the three sisters took steps and walked side by side towards the inner hall, and after crossing the high threshold, a gorgeous and wide inner hall appeared in front of them, and the inner hall was lit with noble ambergris, filled with the supreme taste that only belonged to the most noble royal family.
There are many people sitting in the inner hall at the moment, which is not surprising, not to mention that the emperor has three palaces and six courtyards, his children and their families alone are enough to fill a room, and maybe there are also side branches surnamed Liang present. Su Miao thought so in her heart, she didn't panic, she half-bowed her head, walked to the front calmly, knelt down on the soft cushion that had been set up with kindness, bowed first, and then said in a crisp voice:
"The people's daughter sees the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
There was silence above her head for a while, but Su Miao knew that Liang Shuo was watching her, because there were two lines of sight on her scalp that were piercing her.
"Get up." About half an hour later, Liang Shuo's voice sounded overhead, so faint that he couldn't hear any emotion.
"Your Majesty." Su Miao said a word, and then stood up from the ground.
Liang Shuo sat on the dragon chair in the center of the inner hall, and when he saw that she was still hanging her head when she stood up, and she was not as talkative as usual, he looked at her for a while, smiled, and said:
"Why are you so spiritless and don't like to talk today?"
Su Miao didn't expect him to ask her such a thing, saying such kind words felt like wanting to be close to her.
When the emperor asked her, she couldn't help but answer, and after being stunned, she said seriously:
"Back to the emperor, the folk girl is very energetic, and she doesn't speak because the folk girl feels that she should talk less in the palace, so as not to be felt that she is not dignified enough, although the folk girl is indeed not dignified enough, but at least it looks like that."
Liang Shuo on the throne was silent for a moment, his silence suffocated the entire inner hall, he stared at Su Miao's head for ten minutes, Su Miao motionless and let him look at it, until he finally had enough of it, retracted his gaze, Liang Shuo laughed:
"You're a good talker." (To be continued.) )
