Chapter 94: Enter the Palace
Because Arashiro is light and thin, the silk threads used are extremely fine, so it is not only difficult to weave, but also difficult to dye. Most of the Lanwuluo in the high-end cloth village in Beijing are plain white, frost, duck egg blue and other plain colors. In the same Lan Wuluo, the price of light colors such as water red, water green, and water blue will more than double.
And Mrs. Mu took out such a bright blue as making a skirt for Mu Hongsheng, which is extremely rare, and the blue Lan Wuluo, if you go to the cloth village to sell it, I am afraid it will be a sky-high price.
"It's rare to see such a bright Lan Wuluo," Mu Qingyi glanced at the tray and smiled: "My sister must look good when she wears it." ”
"Yes! It's rare to see such a bright Lan Wuluo," Mu Hongshang carefully touched the new skirt, with a distressed look: "Grandmother actually brought it to me to make a skirt, just to enter the palace, just to wear it once, it's a waste." ”
"Stingy," Mrs. Mu smiled and reached out to pinch Mu Hongsheng's nose: "If you wear it, it's not a waste." Grandmother's family background was originally left for you. Don't worry, there is still such a bright Lan Wuluo. Grandmother still kept the red Lan Wuluo, and when we got married, she made a skirt for you as a dowry. Besides, even if it's a precious Lan Wuluo, you can wear it at home every day, if you like it, wear it every day, where is it wasted. ”
"Then I also think it's a waste," Mu Hongshang picked up her skirt and gestured on her body: "Such a beautiful skirt can't be worn at home, you have to practice." I'm going to get bigger, and next year it's about short. ”
The new clothes made by Mrs. Mu for Mu Hongsheng are expensive in materials, but the style is ordinary, just the fairy skirt often worn by the nobles of the Jingzhong family, which is not surprising at all. However, the skirt of this newly made Liuxian skirt is of normal length, not like the Hu skirt that Mu Hongshang wears on weekdays, and it is made short for the convenience of movement.
On the day of the palace banquet, Mu Hongsheng got up early as usual, and ran to Mu Jinyi's courtyard to ask him to get up and practice, but when Mu Jinyi was called, Mu Hongsheng himself failed to go to the small martial arts field to do morning classes. She was caught by the Duchess of Anguo to comb her hair and change her clothes, and was ready to enter the palace.
After the Mu family brothers finished their morning class, they all rushed to see Mu Hongsheng who was dressed up before they had time to wash and change their clothes.
On this day, Mu Hongshang was wearing a turquoise blue fairy skirt, and she did not comb a neat double bun on her head, but combed a relatively complex double ring bun, with a small begonia pattern of colored treasure Huasheng, and two small tassel beads on the side of the bun. The little girl doesn't need rouge and gouache makeup, her cheeks are ruddy, her big eyes are bright, and she looks very cute.
"My sister looks good dressed like this," Mu Lingyi praised with a smile: "It's like a little fairy on a painting." ”
"This bead flower rings as soon as you walk." Mu Hongshang shook her head very dissatisfied: "But my mother didn't let me wear silk flowers." ”
"What's wrong with Hibiki?" Mu Qingyi couldn't help laughing: "My sister is going to the palace to play, not to be a thief." Besides, you can't run around in a dress like this. When you enter Gong Ansheng's walking, don't run around. ”
"Yes." Mu Hongshang nodded heavily at Mu Qingyi: "Fourth brother, don't worry, I won't cause trouble for the family." ”
"What kind of trouble can you get into a little girl?" Mu Qingyi shook his head with a smile: "The children will worry about it." Don't think about it so much, have fun with you, my brothers haven't seen the Imperial Garden yet, you go and take a closer look, and come back to tell us. ”
"Good!" Mu Hongsheng squinted her eyes and smiled, waved goodbye to the Mu brothers, and followed her mother to board the carriage into the palace.
As soon as she got in the car, Mu Hongshang began to be dishonest again, first secretly opened the curtain of the car and looked around secretly, looking at the street scene, and then kept asking curiously: "Mother, what is the palace banquet like?" Where are we going to get off the bus? Why can't the maid follow into the palace? Then we have entered the palace, where are they going to wait for lotus leaves? Mother, mother, my father said that you have been living in the palace since you were a child, can I go and see where you used to live? ”
"Alright!" Duchess An Guo, who was closing her eyes and recuperating, finally couldn't help but open her eyes and interrupted her daughter's chatter: "There are palace people in the palace to serve, just wait outside." This is not a formal palace banquet, it is a flower-viewing banquet, you don't have to worry, after I greet the queen mother, just go and play yours, just tell my mother where you want to go, if you can, my mother will take you there, don't walk around at will. ”
The Anguo Mansion is actually not too far from the palace, and it takes two quarters of an hour to arrive by carriage. There was already a small inner eunuch waiting in the square outside the palace gate, and when he saw the carriage of the Anguo Mansion arriving, he immediately ran up to greet him.
As soon as the curtain opened, Mu Hongsheng, who was still so lively that she couldn't be quiet for a moment, suddenly seemed to be a different person, she had a smile on her face, obediently and quietly followed her mother to get out of the carriage, bowed her head and followed the guidance of the inner supervisor to the palace gate, and no longer chattered like before, nor looked around curiously.
The little inner eunuch who led the way was probably specially instructed, but he took the initiative to introduce the architecture and scenery of the palace to Mu Hongsheng.
"The Chongzheng Hall is the place where the court went up," the little inner eunuch was very enthusiastic and stretched out his hand to compare with the majestic hall at the other end of the square: "Long live the Lord is here to meet the ministers in the court on weekdays." However, today, the queen held a palace banquet, and the saint was exempted from the early dynasty, and only announced a few important ministers to the Qinzheng Building. ”
"No need," Mu Hongsheng didn't speak, and Duchess An Guo shook her head first: "How can the hall of the Holy Emperor listen to the government at will." ”
"There is no need to worry about the Duchess of the Kingdom," the little inner supervisor replied with a smile: "The Queen Mother specially invited Miss Guogong to come to the palace to play, so naturally she has to have a good time." Naturally, people in this Chongzheng Hall are not allowed to wander around at will, but Miss Guogong is fine. Niangniang explained early in the morning that Miss can go wherever she wants, and our family will help guide the way. ”
Duchess Anguo's face was calm, she lowered her head and asked Mu Hongsheng, "Do you want to go to the Chongzheng Palace to have a look?" If you are curious, follow this father-in-law to have a look, and my mother is waiting for you here. ”
Mu Hongsheng glanced up at Duchess An Guo, nodded obediently, and then thanked the little inner eunuch who led the way with a smile, and then followed the little inner eunuch all the way to the direction of Chongzheng Palace.
Let's just go shopping. Duchess Anguo, who was standing in the square waiting for her daughter, thought silently that since the queen mother was so enthusiastic, and the Chongzheng Palace was willing to let a little girl come and go at will, then she naturally didn't want to look too unappreciative.
