After some tossing, Yu Jin took the old lady and the little sister into the palace through the east gate of the noon gate.

"Brother, why do we have to go through this door? Won't the door open? When entering the noon gate, Yu Yu couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

The little girl is like this, the first time she enters the palace, she feels curious about everything.

Yu Jin explained in a low voice: "The main gate is rarely opened, and the middle gate is dedicated to the emperor, in addition, only two kinds of people are qualified to go through the main gate on special days." ”

"Who?"

"When the emperor gets married, the queen can enter the palace from the middle gate, and the champions, lists, and flowers selected by the palace examination can go out of the palace from the middle door after announcing the results of the palace examination" Yu Jin pointed to the side doors on both sides of the noon gate and said: "See, there are two doors next to it, the east side door is for civil and military officials to enter and exit, and the west side door is for the princes of the clan to enter and exit." ”

Yu Yu whispered, "The door we walked through just now is the east side door?" ”

"That's right."

"Mother, we are also officials." Yu Yu said to the old lady with a happy face.

Yu Lin was startled, looked at the guards and palace maids around him, patted Yu Yu lightly and said, "You kid, don't talk nonsense, this is the palace, no better than at home, be careful of the trouble coming out of your mouth." ”

Yu Yu stuck out her tongue a little embarrassed, not daring to speak.

For the palace, Yu Jin is familiar with the road, before and after no less than ten times, in the previous life also went to the Forbidden City many times to play, may say that he knows everything about here, because of the special early, other people have not come, simply explain to the family, this is what the palace is called, what is the purpose of the palace, where is the cabinet on duty, and where is the imperial dining room, etc., the old lady and the little sister can listen attentively, and have been listening carefully.

Explain all the way. Before I knew it, I arrived at the Qianqing Gate.

Qianqing Gate is a gate in front of the Qianqing Palace, the day of the edict turmoil, it is here that the conflict broke out, this gate is not only worth remembering, but also can be regarded as the dividing point between the inner court and the outer court.

Within the Qianqing Gate, it belongs to the inner court. The emperor and his concubines, princes and grandsons belonged to the second half of the Qianqing Gate, and outside the Qianqing Gate, they belonged to the outer court, and court discussions, celebrations, and handling of state affairs were held outside the Qianqing Gate.

To put it bluntly, the first half deals with official and state affairs, and the second half is the emperor's private and family affairs.

After Yu Jin explained to the two, he took them into the Qianqing Gate.

Longqing held a banquet in the imperial palace, and the venue for the banquet was placed in the imperial garden. As a guest, Yu Jin naturally wants to enter the inner court.

"Mother, look, Lord Yu is here, hey, and the young lady is also here." Yu Jin and his entourage had just entered the Qianqing Gate when they suddenly heard a familiar child's voice and turned their heads to look. It turned out to be Xiao Wanli.

At this moment, Xiao Wanli is standing with his biological mother Li Guifei.

Thirty years in Hedong. Thirty years in Hexi, an insignificant little palace maid in the past, her mother was expensive by her son, and after Longqing ascended the throne, she promoted the Li family to a noble concubine.

I didn't expect to meet them here, it seems that it should be the Li family who took Xiao Wanli to play in the palace. Children of this age are more active.

Yu Jin glanced at the old lady and the little sister, and then saluted: "Your Highness has seen Your Highness, and you have seen the noble concubine Niangniang." ”

"The people's women (people's daughters) have seen His Royal Highness, and they have seen the concubine Niangniang." Yu Lin and Yu Yu also hurriedly saluted.

Before entering the palace. The second daughter has learned the relevant etiquette, and now it is just right to put it in handy.

When Concubine Li saw Yu Jin, a smile appeared on her face, and she said while helping Yu Lin up: "None of them are outsiders, get up, Mrs. Yu, please get up." ”

"Thank you, thank you, concubine." As soon as Concubine Li Guifei of the Yu Lin clan helped, the whole person was so excited that she couldn't speak.

In her eyes, these concubines are all high, but she didn't expect Li Guifei to be unexpectedly easy to speak, which made her a little flattered.

Li took Yu Lin's hand and said with a smile: "Mrs. Yu is really blessed, Yu Fucheng is young and promising, and she is a talented man of the Ming Dynasty, Miss Yu has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, gentle and elegant, needless to say, Mrs. Yu has taught well." ”

"Where, where, these two children, it's actually a headache sometimes." Yu Lin stammered a little.

I thought I would enter the palace to see it, but I didn't expect that after entering the palace, the concubine actually pulled and spoke, happiness came too quickly and suddenly, and the Yu Lin clan couldn't calm down for a long time.

Li Shi said with some feelings: "Yes, it is said that raising a child is a hundred years old, ninety-nine years old, and a mother, that's it." ”

While the two girls were talking, Xiao Wanli pulled Li's sleeve and whispered, "Mother, I want to play with my little sister." ”

As he spoke, he pointed at Yu Yu with his finger, looking eager to try.

Xiao Wanli and Yu Jin played closely, and they also had a good impression of the Yu family, especially Yu Yu holding him and throwing him around, which made him feel very novel and interesting, and when he saw Yu Yu coming, his little eyes lit up.

"Well, go ahead, remember not to be naughty." Lee readily agreed.

"Great, great" Xiao Wanli jumped up and ran to Yu Yumian, grabbed Yu Yu, who was a little cramped, and said, "Little sister, go, I'll take you to play." ”

Yu Lin immediately ordered: "Yu'er, be optimistic about His Royal Highness." ”

Seeing his sister who was a little overwhelmed, Yu Jin smiled and said, "It's okay, just be careful." ”

Yu Yu saw Yu Jin talking, so she happily let Xiao Wanli pull her to play.

Li Shi looked at Yu Jin and said softly: "Lord Yu, your mother will be handed over to the palace, two women talk, you don't listen, the emperor is in the imperial garden, you go to the emperor, the emperor also mentioned you at lunch." ”

"There is Concubine Lao." Yu Jin thanked him, turned around and walked away.

Lee is very eye-catching.

A little palace maid, can climb to the position of the concubine, and finally can control the government behind the scenes, relying on luck, now Longqing has a son of Wanli, due to the queen's poor health, can not have children, as long as you don't make a big mistake, this throne will fall on Li's son Xiao Wanli nine times out of ten.

That's the case, the Li family planned for his son early, and today Longqing feasted his henchmen and important ministers, and with the support of these important ministers, Xiao Wanli's position will naturally be more stable.

The Li family, who had always been hidden in the deep palace, suddenly appeared here, not by accident or on a whim.

It's okay that she lowered her posture like this, indicating that her future is still good.

Yu Jin was led by the eunuch and walked towards the Imperial Garden.

Before I arrived at the Imperial Garden, I heard a burst of laughter, and when I went in and looked at it from a distance, it turned out that Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and Longqing were talking and laughing in a pavilion, and I didn't know what interesting things to say, Longqing also laughed and leaned forwards and leaned back, and they were a little out of shape.

Because Lao Niang and Xiaoshu had never been to the palace, Yu Jin deliberately arrived early, thinking that he had come early enough, but he didn't expect Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng to come earlier than him.

"Weichen see the emperor." After being informed by the eunuch, Yu Jin saluted Jiajing as soon as he approached.

"Yu Aiqing is here, free of etiquette, tonight is a banquet here, it is a family banquet, and these customs are exempted." Long Qing said happily.

"Your Majesty."

stood up, greeted Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng again, and after some etiquette, Yu Jin sat down.

After sitting down, Yu Jin asked curiously: "Before I arrived at the Imperial Garden, I heard the laughter of the emperor and the two adults, I don't know what made me so happy?" ”

Gao Gong pointed at Zhang Juzheng and said, "Hehe, you ask Uncle, what did he say, I didn't expect Uncle to be so serious on weekdays, but so funny in private." ”

"Yes, yes, Zhang Aiqing is so vivid and interesting, I laughed until my stomach hurt."

Yu Jin became even more curious when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

Long Qing pointed at Zhang Juzheng and said with a smile: "Zhang Aiqing, Yu Fucheng has never heard of it, you just say it again, I also want to hear it again."

The emperor spoke, and Zhang Juzheng didn't dare to refuse, so he told the joke he just said again.

Yu Jin heard and understood, to the effect that the accents of the north and south are different, a person entered the store to eat and made a misunderstanding, dumplings heard as "sleeping", a bowl heard as "one night", and a series of misunderstandings occurred.

Long Qing's laughter is too low.

Yu Jin could see clearly that Long Qing was really laughing, and Gao Gong was a little bit in line with the emperor who had too low a laugh.

Several people were laughing, even Yu Jin also laughed cooperatively, and the imperial garden looked very lively for a while.

After laughing, Long Qing glanced at Yu Jin's hands, and suddenly asked curiously, "Yu Aiqing, is there anything?" ”
