Chapter 394: What kind of horse with what kind of saddle
Although he had dressed up in Xiyuan in the past, he was still the first time that the eldest girl got on the sedan chair when he entered the palace, and since he was led into Bei'anmen, Shen Yue changed his surname to jump, so steady that he couldn't be more steady, and he didn't even say a word.
The eunuch Qian who led the way was personally selected by the Empress Dowager Zhang, and seeing that this Miss Shen had been acting neither humble nor arrogant and generous from just now to now, she looked at her a little differently.
It's just the daughter of a wealthy family in Jinling, and she can still be so calm in this palace, but she is barely worthy of that Pingbei uncle!
From Bei'anmen all the way to the south, to the Beizhongmen to the east, and then all the way to the south, this slippery place is the internal official yamen, so Shen Yue has met several groups of internal servants along the way. Although most of the people who came pretended to be coincidental, there were many coincidences, and people always looked at their left and right with great interest, and when they passed, they whispered, and even some people were very loud, she was a clay figure and a little angry, but she tried to restrain herself. So, when she saw the Xuanwu Gate from a distance, she found that there was a little chamberlain in a black gauze hat and collar shirt probing her brain, she couldn't help but snort in her stomach, but when she didn't take a few steps forward, she recognized the person at once, and all those annoyances turned into nothing.
That's not ...... Latham & Watkins?
"Yo, is it Grandpa Xiaorui?"
Eunuch Qian is not as good as Jia Shichun, the steward of Renshou Palace, who often has an arrogant face, and is polite to the upper and lower levels, even in the face of Ruisheng, who has just been promoted, he is full of smiles, and his father-in-law Xiaorui is close, and even Shen Yue can't help but glance sideways at people. Compared with his kindness, Rayson behaved much more decently, stepped forward and made a meticulous salute, he secretly glanced at Shen Yue again, and then seemed to be a little embarrassed and said, "Father-in-law Qian is good." ”
Ruisheng called Zhu Houzhao's side, because of what his father did to him back then, he gave up his surname and simply took Rui as his surname. Except for Xiao Jing and Liu Jin and a few others, few others knew that he was the boy next to Xu Xun, and Eunuch Qian knew nothing. At this time, seeing Rui Sheng looking at Shen Yue behind him, Eunuch Qian smiled and said, "Father-in-law Xiao Rui, this is Miss Shen, Pingbeibo's fiancée." ”
"Oh, hello Miss Shen."
Latham saluted, and then, as if in a hurry, arched his hand and walked back quickly. Seeing this situation, Eunuch Qian couldn't guess that this was most likely the little emperor was very curious about this matter, but he never revealed it in his mouth, turned around and said to Shen Yue with a smile, and then continued to lead the way. And Shen Yue was worried about Latham's move, and Yue invented that the little emperor wanted to get rid of Jia Shichun by this incident, so he actually let Rayson go on a trip and made this curiosity enough. Because she was thinking about what happened to Renshou Palace, although she had to pass through the most magnificent places in the Forbidden City such as Qiongyuan Kunning Palace and other places along the way, she didn't have time to pay attention at all, and Eunuch Qian looked at it three points higher for a while.
Since the Ming Dynasty moved the capital to Yanjing to build the palace, because Taizong Zhu Di and Renzong Zhu Gaochi did not have the queen mother, the original palace did not set up the queen mother's palace, to the Xuande Dynasty, Xuanzong Emperor Zhu Zhanji placed the Empress Dowager Zhang in the west of the Renshou Palace, and when it was orthodox, the empress dowager and the empress dowager paid equal attention, so the prince's east palace was set up as the empress dowager to live, called Qingning Palace. This rule of the west and the east has continued because there have been empress dowagers and empress dowagers in successive dynasties. In contrast, Qingning Palace was rebuilt because of a fire during the Hongzhi period, but it looks neater than Renshou Palace, which has been used for many years.
It's just that for Shen Yue, who set foot in the palace for the first time, there was naturally not much comparison when he entered Renshou Palace, but he felt that this place was much more remote and lonely than the Kunning Palace and other places he had passed before. At this moment, when she was standing in front of the main hall and waiting, she saw that there was no cough from many palace eunuchs standing under the corridor, so she naturally cheered up, until the curtain in front of her was lifted, revealing a face that seemed to be smiling and full of critical eyes.
"Miss Shen, summoned by the Queen Mother, come with our family!"
In order to deal with all kinds of unfavorable situations that may arise before coming, Xu Xun pulled Shen Yue to do all kinds of deductions, and the most important thing was to explain to her the personnel around Empress Dowager Zhang, so as soon as she saw that annoying old face, she knew that this was most likely the former Kunning Palace steward brand that Xu Xun had offended, and now Jia Shichun, the steward brand of Renshou Palace. After bowing her head and answering yes, she followed the person into the threshold, and before she had taken a few steps, she heard a gloomy voice floating in front of her.
"Miss Shen, our family will remind you that the Queen Mother is a person who can't rub sand in her eyes. When the Queen Mother asks, you just tell the truth, if you have a little bit of a lie, Hugh said Pingbeibo, even the emperor can't save you. ”
This is intimidation?
Shen Yue secretly sneered, but he didn't even raise his head, let alone answer. Sure enough, Jia Shichun, who was walking in front, glanced back in surprise, and saw that people lowered their eyebrows and only cared about following him, mistakenly thinking that people were trembling when they entered the palace for the first time, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pick up, and he said as if he was striking while the iron was hot: "This marriage is not trivial, and Earl Pingbei has just been named an earl now, even if it is not hereditary, but it is already an outlier in the Manchu Dynasty, and it is impossible for the Queen Mother not to send someone to inquire about the old affairs of Jinling." If you covet the ethereal glory and riches......"
As he spoke, he came to an abrupt halt. Taking advantage of the fact that he didn't look back, Shen Yue raised her head suddenly, and saw that the curtain in front of Jia Shichun was suddenly raised by a female official, and the female official was staring at him with a frown, she guessed in her heart that it was Rong Shangyi, whom Xu Xun had mentioned that Empress Dowager Zhang trusted the most and had a good relationship with Gao Feng. Seeing that Rong Shangyi bowed slightly to herself, it was obvious that she had heard Jia Shichun's words - maybe even these words were expected by people, and she was confident.
No matter how noble the queen mother is, she is also the surviving person of the emperor of the previous dynasty, so the furnishings of the East Warm Pavilion of Renshou Palace are very simple, far less graceful and luxurious than those in Kunning Palace. However, the Empress Dowager Zhang's sandalwood warm couch was brought by her from the Kunning Palace, the pattern on the top is a continuous swastika, and the armrests have been rubbed to a smooth and unpretentious finish after many years.
"The people's daughter meets the Queen Mother!"
"Get up."
Seeing the girl below kneeling and kowtowing on the laid prayer mat, Empress Dowager Zhang gently raised her chin and commanded. After waiting for the people to stand up, she planned to let people raise their heads to take a look at themselves according to her usual habit, but unexpectedly, the person opposite actually took the initiative to raise her head, her first impression was that her eyes were bright and clear, and she immediately realized the boldness of the other party.
However, before she could open her mouth, Jia Shichun on the left reprimanded in a loud voice: "Bold, the Queen Mother's royal face is also what you dare to look at?" ”
"Since the Queen Mother summoned the people into the palace, she naturally wanted to see the people's daughters, and the women did not boldly look directly at the Queen Mother's face, but let the Queen Mother see it more clearly!" Shen Yue pushed back a straight sentence, and saw Rong Shangyi on the right hand side of the Empress Dowager Zhang for a while, and even winked at her with a smile, and the Empress Dowager Zhang was stunned and didn't have much displeasure, she was even more bold, and the surname Suo raised her head even more, and stared at Jia Shichun without blinking.
"It's this father-in-law, when he brought the people's daughter in before, he said that the queen mother should tell the truth when she asked, otherwise let alone Pingbeibo, even the emperor couldn't save the people's daughter, and then said that the queen mother had sent someone to investigate the old affairs of Jinling, so that the people's daughter would not want to fool the past!" As she spoke, she knelt down straight again, and then said word by word, "If the Queen Mother can't believe that the people's daughter is Pingbeibo's fiancée Shen, you can find someone from Jinling to confront her, if it is proved to be false, it will be cut by a thousand cuts, and the people's daughter will not frown!" But if it is proved that the people's daughter is the real Shen girl, then ask the Queen Mother to give the people's daughter justice! ”
Seeing Shen Yue slamming his head on the ground, Rong Shangyi on the side exclaimed in his heart that Xu Xun was a bold surname, and now such a fiancée has appeared, and he has the same boldness. It's a little different from the design, but it could be better. Seeing that Jia Shichun's face was as swollen as a pig's liver, and Empress Dowager Zhang's face was angry, she bowed down beside her and whispered: "Empress Dowager, just now the slave maid went outside to pick up Miss Shen in, and I heard Gonggong Jia warn Shen a few words like this. ”
Jia Shichun saw that Empress Dowager Zhang's eyes looked at him angrily, and he was so angry that he almost subconsciously shouted: "Empress Dowager, everyone knows that the daughter of the Shen family has jumped into the Qinhuai River a long time ago, and now another person suddenly comes out, who knows what kind of fame it is, maybe someone is greedy for wealth and wealth, and it is good to collude with the peace of Beibo......"
Without waiting for Jia Shichun to finish speaking, Shen Yue straightened up all of a sudden, and said in a fierce voice: "Just now, my father-in-law also kept telling the people's daughters not to be greedy for wealth, but to really want to be rich and noble. Now Pingbei Boping is stepping into the green clouds and does not forget the old marriage contract, and would rather refuse the many officials and nobles in the capital, could it be that the daughter of a small wealthy family in Jinling is comparable to those many famous daughters? These two words of collusion have polluted people's ears for no reason! ”
After she finished speaking, she didn't look at Jia Shichun, kowtowed on the ground again, and then straightened up again: "Queen Mother Mingjian, the people's daughter is not a scholarly and talented woman who knows how to read, nor is she a noble-born lady, but the people's daughter knows a truth, a martyr is not a second husband. The folk girl died once, and she was disheartened, who knew that Pingbeibo was actually looking for the whereabouts of the folk girl on the one hand, and on the other hand, she refused to propose marriage in many ways and continued to wait, so the folk girl decided to come to him. Throughout the ages, although there are people like Wang Baochuan who have been guarding the cold kiln for 18 years in the play, but in the end, Xue Pinggui has long forgotten the cold kiln love, although he welcomed her back, but he has already married someone else, where can he be as consistent as Pingbeibo? Since the folk girl is fortunate to meet such a lover in her life, is it because of what Father-in-law Jia said, I am afraid that people will point to the backbone and say that they are greedy for wealth, so they want to be incognito in this life and this life? ”
If Xu Xun is here, he must praise the little girl for choosing a wonderful entry point. If it weren't for a woman like Empress Dowager Zhang, who met a once-in-a-lifetime emperor and was always the husband of the emperor, it would be difficult to resonate with this point! Sure enough, when Empress Dowager Zhang heard the four words consistently, her face changed for a while just now, and she finally glanced at Jia Shichun, and then laughed.
"What kind of horse with what kind of saddle...... It's strange that you would be so fierce to jump the Qinhuai River, such a boldness, even if you look for it in the world with a lantern, I'm afraid you won't be able to find the second one, and Xu Xun's bold match is a perfect match! ”
