Chapter II: Summons
"Presumptuous! The Heavenly Palace, how can the people of the world snoop at will! Suddenly, Li Chen shouted angrily, "I just saw you calm, but I didn't expect that it was the people at the bottom, so ignorant of etiquette!" ”
"Your Majesty is angry. When the folk girl saw the majesty of the heavenly family, she was so envious that she took offense. Hua Er hurriedly retracted his gaze and made a confession.
Only then did Li Chen ease his face, get the order, and lead the group into the East Palace, and arrived in front of a certain house.
"Stay first. Bathing and changing clothes, fasting and meditating. When the East Palace is free, he will summon you and others. Li Chen pointed to the palace maid under the corridor, "If you have any questions about food and accommodation, her name is Luo Xia." ”
"Why don't you see the sky today?" Hua Er was subconsciously suspicious.
Li Chen's face was ugly, and he snorted coldly: "The East Palace has a heavy responsibility on its shoulders, and the state affairs are busy, how can you wait until you enter the palace to see it." Besides, the people don't know the etiquette, so they come to see them like this, wouldn't it offend the East Palace. Okay, the official still has something to do, so he will leave. ”
After that, Li Chen led everyone away. At the door, there was a column of gold guards, about to enter and exit and guard it.
Luo Xia greeted her, her eyes fell on Hua San, who was full of rashes, and she covered her lips with an embroidered handkerchief, and chuckled: "No wonder the people are vulgar, look at this face, and I am not afraid of scaring the nobles in the palace." ”
"Auntie is polite." Hua Er's expression was the same as before, and he was blessed, "The slaves eat grains and live in the countryside, so they are naturally not as good as the aunts, and the royal spirit in the palace is moist, and they are all the top of Fulu." ”
"Yo, there's another one who understands etiquette."
Luo Xia was very comfortable listening to these words, and her eyes turned to Hua Er, and when she saw that the latter was full of curls and looked good, she couldn't help but be surprised in her heart.
There are also such figures among the lower people.
Then he eased his face, took everyone to the side room where he stayed, and took the initiative to explain: "The girl is relieved. It's not a big deal these days, it's just a bath and fasting, and learning some etiquette. When the East Palace is empty, it will be called. ”
"There's Aunt Law." Seeing that Luo Xia was easy to speak, Hua Er couldn't help but ask, "When will it have to be?" ”
Luo Xia sneered and laughed: "How does the slave know? Donggong personally summoned the people, and in the eyes of others, it was a good opportunity to ascend to the sky. Besides, it is the East Palace that summons you, the East Palace that looks so good, who doesn't want to see the sky in Beijing. It's like a girl, desperately trying to leave. ”
Luo Xia instructed some more things, and then closed the door and retreated.
Hua Er sniffed the incense wafting out of the Boshan furnace, which was a tribute incense that only the palace could afford, and couldn't help but look at it.
It's just desperate to leave.
She only hopes that in this life, she will never set foot in this place again.
The room is simple, there is no shortage of home, and three meals a day are sent by palace maids. There were a few large kangs in the room, and the three of them each picked them up, cleaned up a little, and rested early.
This night, Hua Er slept extremely unsteadily.
She dreamed of many strange things, some of which seemed to have happened three years ago, and some of which seemed to have happened yesterday.
The incense of agarwood at the tip of the nose made these dreams become a mess.
Tossing and turning until the bang, just after the first rooster crow, Luo Xia rushed in.
Bang dang. The door opened wide, and the three of them looked at each other in shock.
"East Palace...... Summoned by the East Palace! Don't hurry up yet! Come on, help them bathe and change their clothes! Hurry up, hurry up! As soon as Luo Xia waved her hand, more than a dozen servants poured in.
I don't know why it was so sudden, but the three of them were sleepy-eyed, and let the attendants fiddle with it, and after half an hour, they stood in the courtyard with a new face.
Luo Xia stuffed a few pieces of bluegrass into everyone's mouths: "Chew more!" Only when you spit out the fragrance of your mouth is qualified! When you meet the East Palace, the slightest rude will lose your head! ”
Everyone according to their words. The posture was made like worshipping a Bodhisattva, and even her clothes were incense-smoked, so Luo Xia nodded.
"It's decent. The etiquette of the sect must be remembered, remembered, remembered. ”
"Aunt is gentle, the folk girl is brave, can you ask my brother to stay in the house?" Suddenly, Hua Er Qingyin bowed, "My brother only came to Beijing to protect me, but he didn't know anything about the trick business." Besides, my brother's face was full of rashes, and he didn't dare to offend Tianyan. ”
Hua Er's soft eyebrows were pleasing to the eye, Luo Xia was very useful, and responded carelessly: "It's okay." Let's go, I missed the summoning time, and I can only lie down and come back. ”
After that, everyone led Granny Hua forward, and Hua Er finally fell back and pinched Hua San's hand.
The young man, who has been extremely silent since he entered the palace, no longer has the demeanor of wielding a sword in white that day, and his hands are terribly cold when he touches it.
"Brother. Modo thought. Hua Er held the young man's hand tightly, but he didn't think about his hand, and he didn't warm it up.
Hua San lowered his head, his voice a little hoarse: "I know." will obediently wait for Sister Ah to come back. ”
Hua Erzhong nodded, then let go of his hand and went with Granny Hua's party.
Reading desk. A study room dedicated to the East Palace.
Hua Er's entourage was brought here. They saw Li Chen again.
After Luo Xia reported to Li Chen, she stayed outside the palace, replaced Li Chen to lead them in, and walked through the corridor waist to return, I don't know how many pavilions, before arriving in front of a main hall.
Hua Er and a few people knelt down on the brick floor in front of the hall, but they couldn't even cross the threshold, and then Li Chen bowed to the main hall, entered the hall, and walked inside.
The surrounding agarwood water is fragrant, the green shadow of the phoenix tail bamboo is swaying, and a young falcon under the eaves is perched on the gilded shelf.
Hua Er secretly glanced at it, the palace maids around him were like clouds, but they were silent, and it seemed that even the sound of breathing was deliberately suppressed, and the main hall in the threshold was deep, and the smooth gold brick floor cut out the sunlight and bamboo shadows.
At the end of the main hall, there is a golden silk and green bamboo curtain, behind the curtain sits a famous man, he can't see his face clearly, and he can vaguely see the slender figure, Yue Zhi Yuanyu, a water blue palace robe moistens the bamboo shadow behind him.
And Li Chen was in front of the curtain, bowing down to report something, and after a while, he withdrew from the hall and stood condescendingly in front of everyone: "Your Highness's decree, report your name." ”
The East Palace is so noble.
and the so-called lowly people are unwilling to speak face to face, and there must be a special courtier to spread the word.
Flower two and three bows, the sound of the sound through the hall: "The people's girl auspicious shop shopkeeper, flower two, with a trick to manage the mother-in-law, meet His Royal Highness the crown prince!" His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose! ”
Anyway. Li Chen entered the palace again to report, and came out of the hall in half a minute, with five words: "Your Highness's decree, flat body." ”
Hua Er helped her mother-in-law up, and the two stood outside the hall, and just wanted to raise their heads, they heard the palace attendant scold: "Presumptuous!" Without His Highness's decree, just the people, who allowed you to raise your head?! ”
Hua Er had to stare at the tips of his embroidered shoes and patted his mother-in-law's hand: "Mother-in-law, don't be afraid." I heard that this East Palace acted perfectly, but it was too perfect, and it didn't look like a living person, so it was jokingly called a saint. ”
The mother-in-law sighed silently: "He doesn't care, the old body is worried about you." You and he saw each other back then...... Hey, it's early, go back early, and it's irrelevant. ”
At this time, I heard that Li Chen entered the hall and left the hall, and said: "Your Royal Highness's decree that the queen's birthday is imminent, and His Royal Highness intends to embroider the word double bat birthday to congratulate the queen." I heard that Granny Hua painted a pattern, Sheng Jing is unique, I don't know if I can also draw a pattern of longevity? If so, can you try it on-site? ”
Granny Hua hurriedly bowed: "It is an honor for the old body to serve His Royal Highness." ”
Li Chen nodded. Then there was an attendant who put a jade case on the spot, paper and ink, and lit incense candles, so that the flower mother-in-law tried to draw a longevity pattern in the three incense sticks.
Granny Hua was confident, took the pen unhurriedly, lay down on the desk, and began to draw.
