Chapter 596: Picking a Handmaid (I)
And in this life, Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shufei are still alive and well, although Concubine Xiao Shufei is a monk in Yunmeng Temple, but after all, it is the territory of the Xiao family, how can the Xiao family let her suffer any grievances there.
Since there is no drunken bones, naturally there is no poisonous oath of Concubine Xiao Shufei dying, and there will be no cat barking in the middle of the night in Taiji Palace, Wu Meiniang dreamed that Concubine Xiao Shufei and Queen Wang were covered in blood and asked for her life.
If there is no antecedent, there will be no consequence.
If Luoyang wants to become a divine capital, it is basically impossible.
At this time, the convoy arrived outside Luoyang City, and naturally a group of officials in Luoyang were waiting outside the city, and knelt on the ground when they saw the queen's car.
At this time, Wu Meiniang took several princesses and princesses and the second princess of Western Qin, and entered Luoyang City under the leadership of a group of officials.
A group of people will stay in Luoyang for a few days, and live in Luoyang Palace, which was built during the period of Emperor Yang of Sui, and was also repaired here in the early Tang Dynasty, and Taizong lived in Luoyang for a short time.
At this time, although the layout of Luoyang Palace is slightly different from Chang'an, in fact, many places are similar, naturally divided into the imperial city and palace, and even the East Palace.
After entering the imperial city, the local officials in Luoyang retreated, and in the imperial city, at this time, all the palace maids, eunuchs and guards of Luoyang Palace gathered in one place, waiting for Wu Meiniang to send.
This is the imperial power, and at this time this imperial power is somewhat special, although Wu Meiniang did not call the emperor, but more than seven years in power, in fact, the power in her hands has long overshadowed any woman in history, Li Zhi is sick in bed, she is in charge of the Tang Dynasty national fortune.
To put it bluntly, although Wu Meiniang is not the emperor at this time, she is no different from the empress.
At this time, Wu Meiniang, facing the guards and eunuchs of Luoyang Palace who were kneeling on the ground, raised her hand slightly, and these people dared to get up.
"This palace will stay here for a few days, and you still do your duty according to your previous duties, and disperse!"
As soon as Wu Meiniang's words fell, Chen Fang walked behind Wu Meiniang.
"Niangniang, this way, there are only two maids by your side, and Xiaoyu is the only one to serve at this time, so it is better to choose a few maids in this Luoyang Palace and serve with Niangniang in the south."
Wu Meiniang looked at Chen Fang and nodded.
"I'll leave the matter of choosing a maid to the colt!"
Uh, why did you leave it to me? Chen Fang looked at Wu Meiniang, this was originally a sycophant, how could she take the matter on herself. Depressed! You let me choose, I can't choose the maid with the best body and the best skin.
Chen Dafang sighed, at this time, with Wu Meiniang into the palace, Luoyang Palace, the momentum is majestic, not weaker than Chang'an, here Tang is the eastern capital, it can be said that Chang'an is also a level of existence, of course, slightly weaker.
After settling Niangniang and several His Royal Highnesses, Chen Fang let people pass on the palace maids of Luoyang Palace.
Niangniang handed over the matter of choosing a maid to him, Chen Fang naturally couldn't shirk it, let alone do it!
At this time in Luoyang Palace, Chen Fang chose a large hall and asked people to move a nanmu chair to sit on, and Dingyu stood aside behind him, gently beating his shoulder.
After a while, the palace maids of Luoyang Palace came here one after another, standing neatly in the main hall.
At this time, Luoyang Palace is not as good as Daming Palace or Taiji Palace, but there are hundreds of palace maids.
Standing neatly in this hall, almost filling the hall, so much so that the owner of Chen Dafang, who was sitting in the middle of the hall just now, had to move his chair and sit back for some distance.
This chair made of nanmu is really heavy.
At this time, the palace maids all came, and they stood in more than a dozen rows in the main hall at once, and there were sixty or seventy people in one row, and the scale frightened the owner of Chen Dafang.
However, this little battle just made the owner of Chen Dafang startled, after all, the Weaver Girl Embroidery Girl of the Tang Workshop is tens of thousands of scales, and it is incomparable among the two palaces, not to mention Luoyang Palace.
"Stand up, don't whisper, front and back, left and right, whoever stands crookedly, this horse will not be polite!"
Chen Fang leaned on the back of the chair and said a few words, the palace maids naturally had the palace maids who led the way, and at this time, they stood tall and low, and the team was much better than just now.
Chen Fang slowly stood up at this time, walked past the queue of palace maids, and looked at the rows of palace maids.
Horizontally, it is a peak on the side of the ridge, and the height is different from far and near.
Chen Fang nodded, and at this time, he stood on the side of the tallest row of palace maids, and took a closer look at this row of queues.
Well, there are a few of them that are so big, no, they are so tall, they are almost as tall as this horse, and this head is as tall as Bai Ya.
Chen Fang was holding a flower whip in his hand at this time, this is a special whip in the palace, it belongs to a short whip, the handle is only two feet long, together with the leather whip, but three feet, because the leather whip is braided with colored silk threads, and there is a small flower carved from crystal at the top, which has the name of the flower whip.
Chen Fang slapped a few times with a flower whip in his hand, and looked at these palace maids, at this time, although there were hundreds of people here, none of them dared to speak, the hall was silent, the needle drop could be heard, only the sound of Chen Fang walking echoed in the hall.
"Today, this horse asked you to come here, for the queen to choose a maid to serve closely, this is a great honor, you can be with the queen mother in the future, the chosen person will follow the mother to the south of the Yangtze River, and even in Chang'an in the future."
After listening to Chen Fang's words, at this time, these palace maids unconsciously stood up, and a few of them who originally lowered their heads also held their heads high at this time.
In Luoyang Palace, where is the palace maid comparable to serving by the side of the mother, the palace maid also has a pursuit, that is, to be the palace maid next to the noble.
Who is the nobleman, who is more noble than Niangniang in the Tang Dynasty at this time?
Chen Fang looked at these palace maids, and suddenly the team was a little neater again, and he slapped his palms with a whip a few times with satisfaction.
"Today, the horse only selected eight maids, and the people who were selected will be named after spring, summer, autumn and winter, Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, and often bridesmaids."
As he spoke, Chen Fang walked behind the last row of palace maids, and suddenly waved the flower whip in his hand, and slapped the buttocks of a palace maid, the elasticity was really amazing, and the whip rod bounced open.
"Stand up, don't bend your legs, and let the pony see your legs bent, it's not a punishment to pat your butt."
"The slave knows it's wrong!"
The palace maid hurriedly turned around and faced Chen Fang, slightly blessed.
At this time, Wu Meiniang happened to enter here with the help of Zheng Jieyu, this is to listen to the horse choose a maid here, come and see.
Chen Fang hurriedly ran to Niangniang's side, and helped Niangniang to sit on the Nanmu chair.
"Mother, do you want to pick a few?"
"No, you can choose the horse, this palace is just a casual look."
Chen Fang responded, he hugged Wu Meiniang's thigh, and he naturally did his best to do things for Wu Meiniang.
Although it is said that in the past few days, Wu Mei Niang has listened to his words and asked him to do whatever he wants. is to let her kneel, she also kneels, she can do whatever she wants on her, sometimes she is interested, and she also asks her and Zheng Jieyu to do some things that are pale and powerless in words, and she does not refuse.
