Miss Sheng can get so much news, and there are so many show girls in Tongguang Palace, and they will know about it a little later. They are all official ladies, and they all grew up in the palm of their hands by their families. Maybe they can't compare to those demons and monsters in the palace in terms of intrigue and trickery, but in some things, they also have their own plans.

Huaxia Huaxia, the great etiquette, the beauty of the uniform.

They grew up hearing this phrase.

When they were at home, they were all the daughters of the family, even if the family never thought of exchanging them for glory and wealth, but the word pampering has never been real. Because she is the daughter of the family, there is no shortage of clothes and jewelry, and there is a lot of pomp and configuration that Miss daughter should have. Teachers, upbringing grandmothers, first-class girls, second-class girls, third-class girls, there should be, not to mention these slaves whose lives are tied to them, even the slaves around the elders dare not offend them lightly.

In such an environment, even if they have the heart to compare, they can't compare. Because in the same family, the sisters are all the same on the surface, different things, only parents and brothers. Mom and Dad are strong, brothers are angry, as daughters as sisters, they naturally mix well, Mom and Dad don't give strength, brothers are not angry, as daughters as sisters, they are not motivated.

This world is the world of fathers, mothers, and brothers. The fate of a girl is never in her own hands.

So, when they're at home, they don't have to fight at all. Even if you enter the palace, no one will want to fight. Because before leaving home, everyone was commanded by the ears of the family: in the palace. Identity is the most important thing. Even if they are show girls now and princesses in the future, they are just show girls before they get the title. A show girl with no rank and no rank. Therefore, when facing people in high positions, it is necessary to maintain etiquette.

Before entering the palace, these little girls were required to memorize this sentence firmly. After entering the palace, they are all show girls, they have no grade on themselves, and they all rely on the decency of their direct male elders. Besides. They eat and live together, and if they offend people rashly, they will only make it difficult for themselves. So. is between the show girls in the same room, at most, it is to compare what clothes and jewelry. If you really want them to do anything to frame others, first, they don't necessarily have the level to hide from everyone, and second, second. If she is regarded as a royal girl. It will have a very bad impact on the future of themselves and their families, and at that time, their own future, as well as their family, will really be ruined.

Therefore, these show girls are more secure than one another. Even if you have the heart to compare with others, you will be very careful.

They are all well aware. Someone watched them out of sight, recording their words and deeds. Test their moral character. Unless you have the ability to hide from everyone, it is better to be a show girl honestly and live in the palace for a few days.

As soon as you enter the palace gate, you are busy framing and being framed, that's not life, that's fiction.

As for today, they have only received an ideological shock.

Before, they only remembered what the elders said that "identity in the court is the most important", but they never really understood it. Now, they are deeply touched.

is also a show girl, there is a main hall and a side hall, and there is a palace maid waiting for her; They are also show girls, but they can only squeeze three or four people into a room, they can only take care of themselves, and they want the palace people to help them do something, and they also have to see the stitches. People can comfortably soak in hot baths every day, but they only have just enough water to wipe their bodies.

Before, these show girls only remembered this sentence, but now, they finally clearly understood the meaning of the phrase "identity is the most important in the court". It's just that it's useless for them to understand and understand. Because they are still show girls, they still have no grade on them.

The difference in identity is like a chasm, dividing the Tongguang Hall and the Honghui Hall into two completely different worlds.

After a few days of silence, there are always a few show girls, or those who are bold and reckless, or know that they are unlikely to enter the palace, or those who do not want to enter the palace, are also familiar with each other in these few days, and they are very curious about the Honghui Palace. After obtaining the consent of the Tongguang Temple, they asked the Tongguang Temple to convey their wish to visit the Honghui Palace.

This is also the first lesson they learned after entering the palace.

In the court, it was not allowed to move around at will. Even if the palace maids went to receive the moon strap, they did so in pairs and in pairs. There is a special procedure for them to request to visit other people's palaces. Don't talk about them, even those serious imperial concubines, in addition to the daily routine greetings, it is impossible to leave their palace at will. The only people who can really walk around the palace so freely are the Emperor Taishang, the Empress Taishang and the current emperor and the current queen. They are the masters of this palace.

If a person like them who has no rank in his body wants to leave his residence, he must first make a report, get the consent of the above, and also get the consent of the other party, before he can leave his residence, the Tongguang Temple.

In the Honghui Palace, Jia Jiu was playing chess with Jia Qian, Jia Qing was sitting on the side watching, and after getting Ji Sizan's notice, he was really stunned.

Those show girls knew that they couldn't move around at will when they first entered the palace, how could they not know? If it weren't for Princess Changle sending someone to invite them, they wouldn't have left the Honghui Hall lightly. At most, just like today, sit together, drink tea, talk, or read books and practice calligraphy, or talk to opponents like today. Not to mention wandering around, even the gate of the Honghui Hall took a light step.

They were also surprised to learn that a show girl was coming to visit.

Court life is dull and boring for any woman. The only ones who can really adapt well are those princesses who grew up in the court. For the daughters of these courtiers, even if they are able to enter and leave the court often after receiving the grace, not all of them can endure the boredom and emptiness of court life.

Being able to meet new people is something for them who are bored. It is indeed a cause for joy.

Jia Jiu looked at Jia Qian and Jia Qing, thought for a moment, and said, "We can meet here." It's also fate. I also asked my aunt to convey it on my behalf, and said that if there is nothing to do tomorrow, I will definitely sweep the bed and wait. ”

This has a lot of meaning. If Princess Changle comes, there is something; If the court is called, that is, there is something; If you don't feel well, that's okay too. In the palace. Anything can happen at any time, and nothing can happen at any time.

Thankfully, the next day. There was news from the Qingliang Palace, saying that Princess Changle followed the eldest princess of Lanling and the eldest princess of Jiashan to the Shoukang Palace of the Emperor Taishang, and the inner court was still quiet, and the Sheng family's Miss Sheng Yuesheng, Wu family's Miss Wu Lingya, and Cao family's Miss Cao Yumo had already been dressed up. After being informed by Lord Sizan of the Tongguang Temple. Under the leadership of the palace maid, he came to the Honghui Palace.

Although the Tongguang Hall is not very far from the Honghui Palace, and like the Qingliang Palace, it is all near the water. Although each has its own merits, it is good for the show girls to be able to imprint the surroundings of their own residence in their minds. Going to play in other palaces, under the heavy palace rules, it is simply impossible.

Honghui Hall is for show girls like Sheng Yuesheng, Wu Lingya, and Cao Yumo. They had never been here before, let alone been. I didn't even linger at the door. In the palace, such behavior can easily cause them to misunderstand.

Even if Wu Lingya, the young lady of the Wu family, is like this, her aunt is already the imperial concubine, and he has been announced by his aunt to accompany his aunt in the palace several times, and he has never been to this north palace, let alone paid attention to the scenery of the Honghui Palace. Wu Lingya knew very well that as long as his aunt was still the imperial concubine, it would be impossible for their family to have another concubine, even the imperial concubine and the prince's side concubine. Therefore, his family doesn't need him to enter the palace, he will go through this experience is just a formality, and in the end, he will pick up the brand.

In such a situation, he also relaxed a lot. is not like Sheng Yuesheng, who is burdened with heavy psychological pressure.

However, he also knows that he has been in and out of the palace several times, and he has lived in the palace for a while, even if he is a show girl now, even if he has his aunt to take care of him, according to the palace rules, he can't look around at the door of Honghui Palace, which will only make trouble for himself.

Therefore, today, the three of them are stepping into this Honghui Hall for the first time.

Honghui Hall deserves to be one of the largest places in the North Palace. Don't talk about his majestic palace, just say that the courtyard in front of the main hall can accommodate all the existing people in the North Palace to sit down and listen to the play together. Along the way, the palace people of Honghui Hall are no less than Tongguang Palace, but they are standing in their own positions, so many people, standing quietly, no sound at all, obviously it is broad daylight, but only can hear the sound of their clothes rubbing, if it is not for the deliberate force under the feet, I am afraid that even the sound of soft shoes hitting the ground of white marble can not be heard.

Obviously it was broad daylight, but Cao Yumo still felt a little cold on his body.

Cao Yumo is very unaccustomed to the identity of a show girl. He was the first show girl in his family to participate in the general election, and the first show girl in his family to step into the palace. God knows how nervous he was from the day he stepped into the palace gate. The problem is, he doesn't even have a place to ask for advice.

At this moment, he just wants to finish his work early and go home early. He didn't want to enter the palace at all.

Sheng Yuesheng and Wu Lingya, who were walking with him, didn't notice anything wrong with him. Although the three of them met at the hairpin meeting, they really became familiar with each other after entering the palace. If you want to say how much friendship they have, it's all false, and they are just a companion.

They are all young girls, and it is the first time to participate in the show girl election, and their curiosity is certain, and more are not convinced. Cao Yumo is better, but the other two may not be:

Why are we only crammed into one place, and yet they can enjoy it so much?

Along the way, they didn't see the three show girls of the Jia family come out to greet them, and their hearts were more or less unhappy. In their opinion, everyone is a show girl, even if Jia Jiu, Jia Qian, and Jia Qing have knighthoods, but when they enter the palace, they are all show girls like everyone. The three of them all visited according to the number of etiquette, who would have thought that the three of Honghui Hall were still sitting in the house!

If I changed to other show girls, I would probably think the same way. However, those palace maids don't think so. Identity and rank have long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow with the little bit of court life.

Equal? What's that? In the palace, identity and name are the most important. Nothing is ever the same.

For Ji Sizan and these palace people, things that have long been accustomed to are for these show girls. But it is the first psychological difficulty they have to overcome.

Even Jia Jiu himself was negligent. Jia Jiu originally thought that when Sheng Yuesheng, Wu Lingya and Cao Yumo arrived at the gate of the Honghui Palace, the palace people would come to inform him, but the fact was that these palace people asked the guests to wait at the door of the main hall of the Honghui Palace, and then they came in to inform.

If it weren't for the palace rules, it would have been like this, if it weren't for the fact that these palace people were very disciplined. That's someone killing the three of them behind their backs.

This time, Jia Jiu, Jia Qian, and Jia Qing reached an agreement without a lawsuit.

"Oops, oops, it's a little sister faux pas. The three sisters have been waiting for a long time. ”

Jia Jiu took Jia Qian and Jia Qing hurriedly out to greet her.

Under the careful teaching of the grandmothers, he was naturally able to express the three points of apology and sincerity just right. Even if it doesn't have Wang Xifeng's eight-sided exquisiteness in the original book, it's not much worse. But no matter how clever he is, he does it. The three show girls in front of them are not easy to match. If they are really the kind of people who are extremely simple. Their families have already asked for grace for them, and they will not let them go this way.

In the eyes of Sheng Yuesheng, Wu Lingya, and Cao Yumo, Jia Jiu's enthusiasm is just a matter of face. Especially Sheng Yuesheng, his father is a political envoy from Erpin, a local magistrate. Locally, the daughters of a province revolve around him, where did she receive this kind of treatment? Merely. Since he is coming for this palace wall, even if he is not happy. It doesn't go superficial either.

It's Wu Lingya, his aunt is Concubine Wu Xian, he grew up in Beijing since he was a child, before the draft, Concubine Wu Xian specially sent someone to guide him, so he was the first to react, and when he heard Jia Jiu say this, he hurriedly said a blessing: "It was us who came to disturb the county king, and it was us who was rude." ”

Jia Jiu didn't dare to say again, and personally helped Wu Lingya up. Everyone saw each other, and then they took their seats.

As mentioned earlier, the Honghui Hall is an imitation of the Han and Tang Dynasty style buildings, and this kind of building has one of the most obvious characteristics, that is, sitting on the ground. The palace people have already set up seats, and there is a pillow on the left hand side of each person, and in front of it is a low table, and on the low table are all kinds of dim sum tea fruits.

This kind of seating, in the eyes of Wu Lingya and Cao Yumo, is not a big deal. Because in Beijing, retro is fashionable and popular, but for a girl like Sheng Yuesheng who has been following her parents for many years, it is very uncomfortable. Especially sitting upright, without long-term training, it is not something that can be used to it in a while. At least Sheng Yuesheng quickly felt the soreness and pain in her legs.

Sheng Yuesheng felt that her two legs were almost no longer her own.

Jia Jiu above noticed Sheng Yuesheng's discomfort, and hurriedly said, "Sister Sheng, if you are not used to sitting upright, you can also sit cross-legged." ”

Sheng Yuesheng's face flushed suddenly. He hesitated for a moment, looked at Jia Jiu, and saw that Jia Jiu didn't seem to be making fun of him, and then looked at Wu Lingya and Cao Yumo, and saw that they were all looking at him, and his face became redder and redder.

Why, he really couldn't hold on anymore, so he had to change his posture after confessing.

Sheng Yuesheng laughed at herself: "I didn't expect Jingli to be sitting upright, and no one at home has ever mentioned me." ”

Wu Lingya said with a smile: "Sister Sheng, there are rules in the palace, as early as the previous dynasty, the palace no longer asked for concubines to sit upright. It's just that after the abdication of Emperor Taishang, he became obsessed with the Qin and Han doctrines, and even with it, the etiquette of the pre-Qin period became popular again. This north palace was built under the auspices of the Emperor, and the Honghui Hall was designed by the Emperor Taishang, and it was naturally used in the pre-Qin ceremony. ”

Sheng Yuesheng was taken aback: "Sister Wu, you mean that this Honghui Hall was designed by the Emperor Taishang?" ”

Wu Lingya said: "Yes." Not only the Honghui Palace, but also the Qingliang Hall and the Yilan Palace, all of which were designed by the Emperor. ”

Cao Yumo said at this time: "The beds, tables, and chairs in the Tongguang Hall were all moved in later, and they were originally also sitting on the ground. ”

Hearing this, Sheng Yuesheng couldn't help but glance at Cao Yumo.

He had always known that there was a difference between a girl like him who grew up in a local area and a girl who grew up in Beijing, but he never thought that the difference would be so big.

Although it is said that the pre-Qin etiquette is not an official etiquette, but the emperor likes it, and if there is something good at the top, he will surrender to the emperor, and in order to please the emperor, the following civil and military officials will naturally follow the popularity. It's just that he didn't expect that everyone here was so accustomed to sitting upright, but he couldn't even hold on for such a short time without training.

Thinking of his Qingyunzhi, Sheng Yuesheng couldn't help but start worrying about himself.

Thanking Jia Jiu for his concern for his body, Sheng Yuesheng smiled and said: "I was originally born in the south, and I have been in office with my father for so long, but I didn't expect to sit upright in the palace, but it made the sisters laugh." ”

Wu Lingya smiled: "Sister Sheng is polite. There is a first time for everything. Sister Sheng is not used to it, but I am not used to it when I sat upright for the first time. As he spoke, he paused and said, "I'm afraid that among the few of us, Jia Junjun is the most accustomed to it." ”

Sheng Yuesheng couldn't help but glance at Jia Jiu.

Wu Lingya explained: "Jia Junjun worshiped under the Daomen in his early years, and the Daomen still maintains the etiquette of the pre-Qin period. That's why I said that Jia Junjun is the most accustomed to sitting. ”

Jia Jiu said: "Sister Wu made fun of it. Although I worship under the door of the Daomen, I am only worthy of my name. First, he did not go to Yuqing Mountain to serve the teacher, and second, he did not officially become a monk, and he just took on a false name. ”

When Wu Lingya heard Jia Jiu say this, she closed up with her original conjecture, smiled slightly, took a sip of the tea on a few cases. It was Cao Yumo, who heard Jia Jiu say this, and unconsciously hooked the corners of his mouth.

That's right, Cao Yumo is the niece of Zhiliu Gushengman's own family. Their Cao family has a family motto, and the children of the family can't take the exam too high in the palace exam, and after passing the same jinshi exam, they must go home to do business. But there are accidents in everything. Back then, when the current emperor was still under the pressure of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at that time, that is, Prince Lao Yizhong and Wang's daughter, he met Cao Yumo's father, who had just been admitted to the same jinshi and was about to go home. The current emperor, who is in a desperate situation, was awakened by Cao Yumo's father's words, and since then he has regarded Cao Yumo's father as a guiding light, and Cao Yumo's father has also embarked on another path.

Although it violates the family motto, Cao Yumo's father is not a direct line of the Cao family, but only a side branch, plus the emperor's trust, this official is getting bigger and bigger, and now he is a bachelor from the cabinet of the fourth grade, although the grade is not high, but he is a real imperial confidant.

Cao Yumo, like his family, didn't have any idea of entering the palace, and he would come to Honghui Hall entirely because of Jia Jiu.

As the niece and nephew of Zhiliu Gushengman, of course he knows Gushengman's status in the Daomen, and he also knows what Gushengman and his family have been doing in the past few years. He also knew that Jia Jiu was Gu Shengman's uncle, and Gu Shengman's actions were all in accordance with Jia Jiu's will. It's just that their Cao family has no contact with the Jia family, and Jia Jiu separates the affairs of the Daomen and the Jia family very separately, so even if Cao Yumo has a heart, he only saw Jia Jiu from a distance a year ago. Like today, it is the first time to face Jia Jiu face-to-face.

Sheng Yuesheng saw the smile on Cao Yumo's lips at a glance, and immediately said, "Sister Cao, it seems that you are also used to sitting upright." ”

Cao Yumo smiled and said: "Don't hide it from you, I have an uncle from my own family who has been involved in the Daomen for many years. Therefore, the juniors of our Cao family are almost all sitting upright when they are young. I'm no exception. ”

Sheng Yuesheng immediately said, "It's Daomen again?" Doesn't that mean that you and Jia Junjun have known each other for a long time? ”

Jia Jiu replied: "It is indeed the first time that I have come face to face with the girl of the Cao family today. As for the uncle of the Cao family girl, maybe I have seen it too. However, although I have a high rank in the Daomen, I am not a serious disciple, and I am a daughter's family, even if the uncle of the Cao family girl is in front of me, I may not be able to call me famous. ”

The matter of Daomen is naturally not easy to talk about in the court, and Jia Jiu doesn't want to have much trouble on it, so he naturally wants to stop there.

Today, though, he was doomed to disappointment. Just as he finished speaking, he heard a report from outside, but it was the current emperor who came with the national teacher, and he had already entered through the door. The six people in the room were stupid at that time, and under Ji Sizan's notice, they stood up in a panic, tidied up a little, and ran out in small steps, kneeling by the door to greet the king. (To be continued......)
