Chapter 214: The Female Dependents Enter the Palace
After two more days of such a calm and calm situation, the emperor issued an order to let the concubines' families enter the palace.
Because of the assassination of the queen mother's birthday banquet, the original provincial relatives were canceled, and the harem concubines were extremely happy, and some of them were a little confused, and they couldn't help but complain about Tang Jingchen, as if it was because of her that everyone couldn't go home.
Of course, no one dared to complain in front of the emperor and the queen mother, but the emperor vaguely heard about it, and he was angry in his heart, but since no one said it clearly, he couldn't reprimand, so he had to make up for it.
Therefore, there is a will for the concubines to visit the palace in Beijing.
As soon as the news came out, everyone was overjoyed, especially the female dependents of each family, although they could enter the palace to invite An to receive a banquet during the New Year's holidays, but they rarely entered the harem, and now it is not bad to have this opportunity to enter the palace to see.
As for the concubines, they also wanted their relatives at home to see their daily pomp, especially the high-ranking concubines above the concubines, who ordered the palace maids and eunuchs to clean the palace ten times cleaner than usual days in advance, and some unused ornaments were also put out.
Because everyone was busy, they didn't have any thoughts about it, so the harem was unprecedentedly calm, and the atmosphere was more festive than the New Year.
Even the palace maids and eunuchs are busy, but there are a lot of smiles on their faces, because the masters are in a good mood, they will not be punished even if they make a small mistake, if they do well, the reward will be doubled, so everyone is happy.
Finally, the day when the concubines and their families entered the palace, the back door of the palace was opened, and the ladies all got off from here, walked through the imperial garden, and then were led by the eunuchs of each palace to the palace rooms of the concubines.
Although these ladies have different identities and daughters in the family have different statuses in the palace, they do not step on each other's high and low status, mainly because they were shocked by the momentum of the palace as soon as they entered the palace, and they did not dare to act rashly, not even dare to breathe loudly, and involuntarily held their breath and followed the eunuchs.
The eunuchs were naturally very polite, bowing their heads, flattering the ladies and grandmothers in their mouths, and receiving red envelopes softly.
Tang Jingchen had already been waiting at the gate of Tingyuxuan Courtyard with Xinyun, and saw Mrs. Tang coming from a distance under the support of Grandma Tang, she immediately greeted her, "Mother!" ”
Mrs. Tang squatted down in accordance with the palace rules and made a blessing ceremony, "The courtier Tang Li family sees Niangniang, Niangniang is auspicious, see Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
Before she finished this ceremony, Tang Jingchen had already helped her up, "Mother, don't be like this, it's already unfilial for your daughter to be able to accept Huan's knees, where can you still give your daughter a salute, this is really killing your daughter." ”
Xinyun followed: "Grandma doesn't have to salute Yun'er. ”
Mrs. Tang smiled, "The national law cannot be abolished, since the mother has entered the palace, she is the master, let's first give the national gift and then talk about family affection." ”
Tang Jingchen nodded, and said to Grandma Tang Shao: "Sister-in-law hasn't seen you for a long time, is she okay?" ”
Grandma Tang Shao hurriedly said: "Okay, good, thank you Niangniang for remembering." ”
The four of them entered Tingyuxuan together, sat down and told each other about their farewells, Tang Jingchen still saw Mrs. Tang once when she was pitiful, and then never met again, so many years have passed, seeing that her mother is much older, she is sad in her heart.
"Niangniang has a bad fate these days, and we can't help at home, so we can only do it in a hurry, but fortunately, your father has not only not been belittled but also promoted to a level, he said that the emperor still thinks of you in his heart, there is always a time when you come out, and then you resume your position, and the size of the family is at ease."
Mrs. Tang stroked her daughter's cheek, "Niangniang has lost a lot of weight." ”
She couldn't hold back and refused to cry, in fact, she was already heartbroken, and her daughter, who was raised like a jewel, once she entered the palace, not only could not see each other all the year round, but also had to be worried from time to time, lest she be wronged in the palace.
When an ordinary girl gets married, if she is mistreated by her in-laws, her parents and brothers can always theorize, but when she enters the palace and becomes a mother, she can't ask anymore.
Mrs. Tang heard at home that her daughter was abolished and sent to the cold palace, so she went to the Xin Zheku, went to the Shen Penal Division, and restored the concubine position.
I was so anxious that I didn't even dare to complain, but I was afraid that the wall would be listened to by someone with ulterior motives.
Previously, the Queen Mother Chrysostom said that Tang Jingchen would be named the imperial concubine when her injury was healed, and many people came to the Tang family to say goodbye, Mrs. Tang only let her son and daughter-in-law come out to socialize, and she asked God to worship the Buddha to bless her daughter, what imperial concubine, Mrs. Tang didn't pay attention to it, she just wanted her daughter to be safe.
The Tang family is different from other families, and they don't want their daughter to soar, as long as she is safe and healthy.
Later, Tang Jingchen's injuries healed, but the Queen Mother never mentioned this again, how many people felt sorry for the Tang family, but Mrs. Tang didn't care.
She said to her son and daughter-in-law at home: "It's not easy for Niangniang to live in the palace, you should thank God for living in peace, don't think about relying on her to earn a future, the men in our family don't rely on the face of their daughters and sisters, if you want to climb up, you rely on your own ability." ”
Seeing Tang Jingchen at this time, Mrs. Tang still said, "You only take care of yourself in the palace, don't worry about your family, let alone your father's brother's official position, they are all fine." ”
Tang Jingchen knew that his father was still in the Ministry of Rites, but his brother went to a county seat below Zhili to serve as a county magistrate, so he nodded, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and my daughter has always kept it in mind, as long as my father and brother are all right, my daughter will not ask." ”
In fact, Tang Shao's grandmother wanted Tang Jingchen to blow the pillow wind to the emperor and let the eldest brother of the Tang family return to Beijing to take up her post, but her mother-in-law said everything in front, and she didn't dare to say anything.
Tang Jingchen glanced at Tang Shao's grandmother, and her heart was bright, the current rule is that the male son in the family goes out to earn a future, and the daughter-in-law not only has to stay at home to serve her in-laws to fulfill her filial piety for her husband, but also has to choose a beautiful concubine for her husband to take to office, so that he will not have no one to take care of him in the field.
Usually when a man returns to Beijing at the end of his term, he will bring back more than one concubine, which is not bad, and there are even more concubines and concubines born in office, which is simply a thorn in the heart of the wife of the main room.
Tang Shao's grandmother's worries, Tang Jingchen naturally understood, after thinking about it, she first smiled at Tang Shao's grandmother: "My sister-in-law has always stayed at home, and she must be worried about her brother in her heart." ”
Grandma Tang Shao hurriedly said: "When he took office, I had already made a maid named An Wen a serious aunt and took care of it, then An Wen was my dowry, the most honest and diligent person, and she will definitely take care of your brother very well." ”
Tang Jingchen nodded secretly, knowing that her sister-in-law was not a bad person in her heart, and she could promote her own marrying girl to an aunt to follow, she was not only a confidant, but also a good talker, and she could write a letter back to Beijing to report the news, which can be described as a lot of success.
