Chapter 158: Entering the Palace (1st Update)

Because they were going to enter the palace, the three Shujie brothers and sisters, who were originally going to celebrate the New Year leisurely, had to get busy.

Entering the palace to participate in the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is different from the ordinary banquet, and Mother Liu immediately gave them a quick training, including the rank and position of the main masters at all levels in the palace, the personality, preferences and taboos of the emperor, the empress dowager, the empress and the two noble concubines, the distinguishing signs on the clothing of concubines at all levels, various titles, and officials at all levels, seeing their different etiquette and ways of saluting, and even briefly talking about the main distribution of the palace, the venue arrangement of the palace banquet, and the general orientation of the surroundings, just in case.

Fortunately, the comprehension and memory of the three of Shu Yao are incomparable to ordinary people, but they can memorize it in an hour, which is not bad at all.

On the morning of the second day, after the three of them practiced and bathed, they changed into brand new clothes, and Shujie wore a royal blue dark purple moire brocade robe.

Shu Yao and Shu Wen are still children, and they are naturally red during the Chinese New Year. Shu Yao wore a big red camellia and wore a butterfly silk jacket with a flower-sprinkled long skirt, and the text of the book was a red dark red moire brocade robe of the same color as Shujie.

The clothes of the three people are all sewn and embroidered by Mother Liu, and at this moment, looking at the big jade tree in the wind, the small two are like golden boys and jade girls, and Mother Liu, who is smiling, is sweeter than drinking honey.

Mother Liu explained the important precautions to the three of them again, and asked the three of them to demonstrate the great gifts to the emperor, the queen mother, and the queen respectively, and then nodded with satisfaction. Be prepared, who knows if Lu Dao will suddenly propose to see anyone at the palace banquet for the emperor and his old man.

Before noon, Liu's mother asked people to prepare some simple lunches, and after a few people had eaten, they were about to set off. Follow the rules. The Shujie brothers can't take a little girl. Shu Yao can bring two personal maids, Lan Jin and Zi Jin.

Both maids have hearts. has been suppressing the tension and excitement, listening to Liu's mother teach Shu Yao and the three of them, and trying to remember some skills such as looking at clothes and accessories to identify identity, so as not to accidentally collide with nobles and affect their own masters.

Shuwen was puzzled: "Mom, isn't the palace banquet set at the beginning of the unitary time?" What are we going to do so early? ”

Mother Liu said with a smile: "Before entering the palace, you have to search your body, and there are many people entering the palace today, and it will take more than two hours to queue up outside the palace gate to search." After entering, you have to listen to the arrangement to find a location, and it will be very troublesome to go late. ”

Shuwen muttered to himself: "It's really a golden cage." Seeing Shuwen glaring at him, he quickly shut up and smiled mischievously at Shujie.

Shuwen shook his head helplessly, in fact, he really didn't hear what Shuwen was muttering just now, but with his understanding of his younger brother, it was definitely not a good word.

Out of the hall, the three brothers and sisters all put on the scarlet sable cape rewarded by the Queen Mother on the day of the "kiss", like a beautiful scenery. Even Tianen, who couldn't speak the most, couldn't help but open his mouth and praise: "Cousin, where are you brothers, sisters, sisters and brothers?" Strange good-looking. ”

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, the three brothers and sisters attracted everyone's attention as soon as they got out of the car.

"Huh. Isn't that the three brothers and sisters of the Xia family? How did they get here? ”

"Naturally, I got the post, who would dare to go here without the post?"

"That is, they are the sons of the Golden Tongue, and what is the friendship between the Golden Tongue and that one? It's not surprising that the palace will give them posts. ”

"Look at who that is? Mama Liu, the queen's former confidant was the mother of the Xia girl, and the little girl is really blessed. ”

"Don't say it, these three brothers and sisters are really good, and the big one doesn't seem to be married yet, right?"

"Many people have mentioned it, but Mrs. Weiyuan Hou seems to have said that she will wait until after the spring test to consider it, and I heard that the kid is a popular candidate for civil and martial arts."

"Tut-tut, won't you break your head then?"

……

After entering the first door, men and women were about to separate, Shujie and Liu's mother made an appointment with Liu's mother to meet when they left the palace, and they were about to go to the men's passage with Shuwen.

Before he could take two steps, a little father-in-law rushed over: "Wait, wait, Mama Liu, the slave is the one who runs errands under Father-in-law Shunzi, last time I went to the summer house with Father-in-law Shunzi, do you remember?" ”

Shuwen preemptively said: "Mom, I remember him, there is a mole on his lips, he is the father-in-law of Xiao Huanzi." ”

Xiao Huanzi said happily: "The second young master still remembers the minion? The minion was so impressed. ”

Mama Liu smiled: "Xiao Huanzi's father-in-law came to us on purpose?" ”

"Exactly," Xiao Huanzi hurriedly replied, "The Empress Dowager wants to summon the three little masters of the Xia family, and let you go in directly when you come, the guards guarding the door have already received the notice, and a few of them please come with the minions." ”

Shujie and his entourage followed Xiao Huanzi to the front of the team, Xiao Huanzi showed his waist card, and then took the two posts in Liu's mother's hand and handed them to the guards.

When the guards saw it, they hurriedly asked a lady who was about to be inspected to retreat first: "I'm sorry, these are the people who have been specially explained inside, and the Queen Mother will summon them immediately." ”

Many people have heard the conversation between Xiao Huanzi and Mother Liu just now, and when they heard the guards say this, they all took the initiative to take a few steps back obediently.

After the inspection, Shu Yao and his entourage followed Xiao Huanzi in the direction of Cining Palace under the "eyes" of envy, jealousy and hatred of everyone.

The palace is indeed very big and beautiful, but Xiao Huanzi secretly observed, not to mention the three brothers and sisters of Shujie, that is, the two little maids behind Shu Yao did not squint and walked forward steadily, not at all like people who entered the palace for the first time. Except for Shujie, who is 18 years old, the other four masters and servants are all children, right?

Xiao Huanzi was secretly amazed, how many of those so-called sons and daughters of the so-called family did not look around when they entered the palace for the first time, or looked nervous and curious?

What Xiao Huanzi didn't know was that three of the four children he secretly said were really curious and excited at the moment, as long as his eyes were slightly down, he could see this, and his clenched fists were still trembling slightly, especially the two maids.

The reason why they didn't look around like many people is because Liu's mother taught them a trick: look straight ahead and look into the distance. I looked at it from afar, and when I got closer, I still shook my head left and right? Speaking of which, no matter how good it looks, isn't that the same thing?

Shu Yao was not as excited as Shuwen and them, but there was still curiosity. The women. Including the glamorous and extraordinary Ding Mei'er, they all wanted to turn into this golden cage. What kind of charm is it here?

Even in her previous life, she was vain and single-mindedly pursuing the family, and she never envied those concubines who were "trapped" in this golden cage. Three thousand beauties robbing the same man? It's tiring to think about, and it's boring.

After walking for more than two quarters of an hour, I finally saw the three big characters of "Cining Palace" on the eaves of the magnificent palace.

Entering the main hall of Cining Palace, I saw a graceful and luxurious woman sitting on the chaise longue in the middle from a distance, and Mama Liu was standing aside and waiting, needless to say. That is the most noble woman in the world, the Queen Mother.

Mother Liu took Shujie and the three of them to the center of the hall and bowed, while Lan Jin and Zi Jin retreated to the corner, but also knelt in the direction of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother saw that the three brothers and sisters had no stage fright, the etiquette was thorough, and the saluting action was also very good-looking, and said with a smile: "Good, good, such a beautiful three children, the mourning family likes it when they see it." Flatten, sit. ”

The four stood up. Immediately, a palace maid brought a chair, and the three brothers and sisters did not refuse, and sat down with Mother Liu, and Lan Jin and Zi Jin also stood up over there, standing in place in an orderly manner.

From the time the master and servant came in to the time they sat down, from the salute to the sitting posture were impeccable, the Queen Mother nodded and sighed: "Very good, worthy of being Donnie Yen's children, Mama Liu, you teach well, even the little maid doesn't look like an ordinary maid, let alone these three children." Come on, bring the meeting gift from the mourning family to the three children of the Xia family. ”

The three of them hurriedly walked to the middle and knelt down.

A palace maid carried a tray to the Queen Mother, squatted down, and knelt on the edge of the couch.

The Queen Mother first looked at Shujie kneeling in the middle: "Are you the boss?" The new branch of the Daimyo's Mansion Xie Yuan, both civil and military? Sure enough, he is a talent, and his bearing is extraordinary. ”

Shujie replied loudly: "Xiaosheng Xia Shujie, the son of the Xia family, the queen mother's mother is falsely praised, and I dare not be ashamed." ”

"Well, yes, the voice is loud, generous, it sounds like a full of energy, worthy of being a martial artist, Ha Lu Ha" The Queen Mother looked appreciative, she couldn't see those young people in their teens and twenties pretending to be old and skilled in front of her, but pretending to be submissive and lacking in confidence. Young people should be energetic, or how to say that "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers"? If they were all a group of "young people" like little old men who were promoted to serve his son, how could Da Zhou have momentum?

The Queen Mother glanced at the pride on Shuwen's face that couldn't be hidden, and said with a smile: "Your name is Shuwen, right?" Mourning family praises your brother, you seem to be very proud? ”

Shuwen hurriedly straightened his face, as if he wanted to restrain the smug look on his face, but it made the Queen Mother laugh: "This kid, why are you nervous?" If you are proud, you are proud, your eldest brother is so good, of course you are proud of being your younger brother. ”

Shuwen breathed a sigh of relief: "Back to the Queen Mother, the kid is not proud, the kid is just proud of the eldest brother, and the eldest brother will always be the pride of the kid." Well, I will also be the pride of my big brother in the future. "When it comes to self-confidence, Shuwen has forgotten to call himself a kid.

"Ha Lu Ha" The Queen Mother laughed again, this child is too likable: "Okay, well said, he is an ambitious child, and the mourning family likes it." Come, this pair of eagle pendants is given to you two brothers, I hope you can spread your wings like flying eagles in the future and become the pillars of our Great Zhou. ”

The Shujie brothers hurriedly kowtowed again: "Thank you for the Empress Dowager's reward!" ”

The two got up, took the jade pendant with both hands, and retreated to their original positions and sat down.

The Queen Mother looked at Shu Yao, who was still kneeling on the ground, and smiled kindly: "Your name is Shu Yao?" She really looks like your mother, and she looks like a smart, well-behaved and blessed girl. Come, this eight-treasure jade Ruyi hairpin is a meeting gift from the mourning family to you, this set of Ruyi hairpin has a total of eight, and it is about to be snatched up by the group of granddaughters and nieces of the mourning family, and this one is left.

A girl sitting behind the Queen Mother with her head half-bowed clenched her fists, and secretly looked at Shu Yao with incomparable jealousy, she always thought that when she entered the palace today, the Queen Mother would reward her with the last eight-treasure jade Ruyi hairpin.
