14. Entanglement of all parties
Sure enough, Xiao Luzi continued: "According to the palace rules, men are not allowed to enter and leave the harem at will, so Lord Sandslider, Bijak Guard, and Di Tai Guard your residence is in the apse of Mengxue, and I will let Xiao Zhizi send you there." "Bi Tao frowned, 'I was really careless, I didn't expect this, I just feel unreasonable after the holy decree, and now I want to separate us?' Bijac and sandboarders were surprised.
Ditai asked, "Is there such a palace rule?" The three of them turned their heads and saw Aunt Bi Tao nodding with a wry smile, and Bijak immediately said, "I can't leave Your Highness even a single step." Xiao Luzi seemed to smile: "Guards, we understand your feelings, but the palace rules are the palace rules, there are people guarding the entire palace, as well as various internal servants, palace gate guards, and imperial city guards, do you have anything to worry about?" ”
Xia Han: "Of course we can rest assured, your country is well guarded, and the imperial city is iron-walled, you can go to Bijak." "Yes, Your Highness." Bi Tao: "Trouble Father-in-law, let's go." "Don't dare--" Xiao Luzi led the way in front of Xia Han and Xia Xing, Aunt Bi Tao walked with her, and the yarn and ice condensation were behind Xia Xing and Xia Han, and there were two father-in-law lanterns in the front and back.
When he arrived at a courtyard, Xia Xing murmured: "It's so beautiful here!" Xiao Luzi: "When you get to the place where Your Highness lives, it will be more beautiful." "Oh, Father-in-law Xiaolu, I want to know why there is a palace rule that 'men are not allowed to enter and leave the harem'?" "Uh, this 。。。。。。" How can I say this, let me tell you that the emperor is afraid that his concubine will mess around, and my little life will be lost.
"Also, why can you go to the harem under the bush? Well? Looking at Xia Xing's bright big eyes full of curiosity, Xiao Luzi felt that someone was poking his heart with a knife, Xia Xing continued to be unrelenting: "Why don't you say it, tell me, I want to know." Xiao Luzi burst into tears, why hasn't he been there yet?
The imperial study room is brightly lit, the bright yellow table is full of folds, and the eunuchs add refreshing incense, strong tea, and fruit cakes in an orderly manner, and it is not difficult to see that this place often stays all night. The three people at the imperial table had already stood a stick of incense, and no one made a sound, until the emperor finished the last note and said, "Okay, it's late, I'm going to settle it, go down." "Yes!" "Your Majesty ----- the Ride"
Longquan Palace, Emperor Jing: "Someone can't sleep today." "Well, yes, Your Majesty, you didn't say anything." "Which of them did you think I wanted to do first?" Father-in-law Su shook his head: "The old slave can't guess." "The old slave doesn't want to know your bad taste at all.
Yunxiao Palace, "Niangniang, rest, Your Majesty will not come tonight." "Oh, Biquan Palace has been very lively today." "I heard that it was the prince of Beiyan who moved in." "Really? Doesn't matter. "Niangniang, you ...... not interested in anything?" What is the Rong family doing, and is he still copying scriptures every day? Hmph, shy. "Niangniang, that's the queen, don't talk about it."
"Nurse, I'm not reconciled, they lied to me, why is she the queen, just because of the queen mother's words, 'beautiful appearance, not dignified enough, unworthy of the mother of the country'. Scold! "!" "This palace is unwilling, they lied to me, Brother Yu Ning is not dead, they are all lying to me, liar."
When Gonggong Xiaolu was on the verge of collapse, the heavens heard his call and sent someone to save him. A first-class palace maid with a lantern walked towards them, and Xiaolu's father-in-law greeted him excitedly as if he saw his father: "Isn't this Sister Begonia next to Concubine Yun's mother?" Why did you come here, but the mother is in a hurry? "No, it was the mother who thought that she was very happy to see the little princess and the little prince, so she sent me out to greet her." "I see, then let's hurry up, don't delay, the two highnesses are tired all the way."
Walking through the garden not far to see a magnificent palace, the palace together with the corridor garden with all kinds of lanterns, it looks brilliant, the palace door is written 'Biquan Palace' three gilded characters, a bunch of people stand in front of the steps. The palace maid named Haitang stepped forward to report first, and when we walked into Xiaoluzi, she took the lead in stepping forward and saluting: "Slave Xiaoluzi asks Concubine Yun Niangniang, Niangniang is auspicious!" Concubine Yun: "It's Xiaolu's father-in-law, please get up quickly, I didn't think you got this errand." "The voice is tactful and crisp, like a yellow bird.
"Back to Niangniang, I heard that I was coming to Biquan Palace, and it happened that the slave was idle and invited himself on this errand, thinking that he hadn't come to you to say hello for a few days." "Okay, what a sweet mouth, since you have time today, come in and have a cup of tea." "How dare you disturb Niangniang, the slave wants to hurry back to return to the head of Su, since the person has been delivered, the slave will retire." "Hey, you're so dedicated to your errand this time, it's not a pity that this palace wants to invite you to a cup of tea, so be it. Jasmine, go, bring some of the cloud and mist packages that the previous emperor rewarded and give them to Xiaolu's father-in-law to take away. ”
"This, the slave will be cheeky to receive the reward, Xie Niangniang." "Why should the father-in-law of Xiaolu see outside, the palace is all up to you to take care of it when he first enters the palace, what are these little things, Begonia." Haitang, who got the instructions, stuffed a purse in his sleeve to Xiao Luzi: "Father-in-law works hard, and the little things are held and played." Xiao Luzi accepted the purse with a smile, and walked away with the tea given by Jasmine.
Xia Xing, who has seen a little, looked at Xiaoluzi and looked at Concubine Yun, well, yes, it's beautiful, her appearance is as gorgeous as a rose, but it's too loser, isn't it just taking the road? As for it? Yun Niangniang, who had no idea about it, had been defined as a loser by Xia Xing for many years, and Concubine Yun showed what she thought was the most amiable smile at Xia Xing and Xia Han: "You must be the prince and princess of Beiyan, it's really cute, hehe." "Rubbing Xia Xing's head and pinching Xia Han's face, it's really pink.
"I've already sent someone to take care of your accommodation, I'm tired all the way, let's go in quickly." Everyone nodded and promised, and walked to Wanyu Xuan, there were trees in front and flowers in the back, and the room was spacious and bright. "Let's see if there's anything you're not satisfied with, I'll let them clean up again, rest today, and the things will be placed tomorrow, how about it?" Xia Han: "Thank you, Niangniang, you have thought it through, we are very satisfied." ”
Xia Xing also nodded, and Concubine Yun said happily: "This is a total of thirteen palace maids and eunuchs, let them go to greet you later, and the prince and princess will recognize people by the way." Okay, Lu Wan took Princess Holy Spirit to the bath, and Xiao Dezi took Prince Xia Han back to the room to bathe. After speaking, he added: "The bath is some distance from the bedroom, and now although there is a corridor pavilion in the cold weather, it is okay for ordinary people, but Prince Xia Han has always been weak, so it is better to bathe in the room." ”
Xia Han: "Thank you Niangniang for thinking about me, I am very grateful." Aunt Bi Tao helped translate, and Concubine Yun was surprised: "Oh, it's you, I can't recognize you for so many years." Bi Tao: "Niang Niang is still young and beautiful, but Bi Tao is a lot older, and she can't recognize it." Concubine Yun grinned: "You are still so well-behaved, don't be angry with me, I will recognize you as soon as you open your mouth." "How dare you torment the slave and the maid."
"Really, don't be so outward! The two highnesses are too, don't call me Niangniang, you can call me Aunt Xiang, your queen mother calls me Sister Xiang. Concubine Yun was very emotional when she mentioned that year, while Xia Xing and Xia Han were very surprised, because their queen mother rarely mentioned the past. For Huaguo, Fu Yuling only talks about the customs of his hometown, the fun things of his childhood, and the story with Emperor Yuan.
Concubine Yun said a few more words and went back to rest, and the palace people were well-trained to clean up. After Xia Xing and the others finished bathing, the things were almost placed, and Xiao Dengzi also brought someone to bring the food made in the dining room, and stood there respectfully with five large food boxes. Xia Xing: "I'm hungry, let's set the meal." "Wow!"
But in a moment, a table was full, with a total of eight meat dishes and eight vegetarian dishes. Xia Han tugged on Xia Xing's arm under the table, ignoring her big sparkling eyes that longed for the sauce duck, and said, "There are not so many people to serve here, leave the two others to rest." "Yes, Your Highness." After everyone had retreated, they let go of Xia Xing, and as soon as Xia Xing was free, he immediately pounced on his beloved dish. Xia Han only ate a few mouthfuls of porridge and then put it down and asked Xiao Dezi: "Who lives in this palace?" The father-in-law and the king talked about it in detail, so as not to see the nobles in the future and not know the collision. ”
"Go back to Your Highness, your Highness will see a feast in the palace tomorrow, and then the servants will identify Your Highness one by one. In the palace now, there are only the queen mother of Fengxiang Palace, the concubine Niangniang of Yunxiao Palace, the virtuous concubine of Yongfu Palace, the concubine De of Qianxi Palace, the concubine Hui of Feng'an Palace, the Xia concubine of Chaolu Palace, the Duan Concubine of Qingning Palace, the Yi Concubine of the Ethereal Palace and the Yun Concubine of our Biquan Palace, and the rest of the lower grades of His Royal Highness do not need to be taken to heart, there are Li Concubine of Lanling Palace, Wan Chongyi, Xiao Guiren and two beauties, Yu Concubine, Liu Shuyuan, Jiao Xiuhua of Xuanshu Palace, Yunxuan lives a few Baolin, Chang Zai and Xuan Waiter. ”
Xia Xing: "Where does the eldest prince live?" Xiao Dezi said respectfully to Xia Xing: "The eldest prince lives in the outer palace, and all the princes and princesses who have reached the age of eight live in the Qianjinmen of the outer palace. Xia Han: "Then, how many princes and princesses does Your Majesty have?" "There are five princes and two princesses under the knee of my emperor, the eldest prince is the son of Concubine Yi, the second prince and the fifth prince are the sons of Concubine Hui, the third prince is the son of Concubine Xia, the fourth prince is the son of Concubine De, the eldest princess is from Concubine Xian, and the second princess is from Concubine Duan. Except for the fifth prince and the second princess who were young by their mother's side, the others have all moved to the outer palace. ”
Xia Han: "Okay, you go down." Xiao Dezi: "Chirp! When the door of the palace was closed, the room was silent, and Bi Tao stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, the Huaguo Palace has been re-established since Taizu established Huaguo, and the three-palace and six-chamber system has been implemented. The three palaces are the queen of the middle palace, the imperial concubine of the east palace, and the concubine of the west palace, and the imperial concubine is mostly the emperor's favorite, but no matter how knowledgeable and talented this woman is, she can not be the queen, only for her to bear the emperor's love.
And the queen and the concubine are the two best women in the country, the most suitable person for the queen, and the last two choose one as the queen, and the one who loses the election has also come to this point because it is also excellent, so it is promised to use the position of the concubine to assist the queen in managing the harem. The six courtyards are virtuous, virtuous, lady, wise, rong, and yan, and later in order to win over the family when the emperor became the emperor, he added seventy-two concubines, that is, thirty-six concubines and thirty-six concubines. ”
"Oh, that's kind of interesting." Xia Han knocked on the table thoughtfully.
