Chapter 12: The Little Nobleman
One day in March of the third year of Shunxi, before dawn, Yuan Ge was called up by Xiao Tao.
Today is the big day for the selected national girl to enter the palace, and the prime minister's mansion is vigilant. The Yingxuan Pavilion where Yuan Ge lives is no exception, and the girls and mothers-in-law perform their duties and are busy in and out. Xiao Tao and Mama Zhao changed into palace clothes for Yuan Ge, looking at Yuan Ge in front of her, who was not fully conscious, Mama Zhao couldn't cry or laugh. Just as she was about to comb her hair, Zhao Ying walked in.
"Mother, why are you here?" Yuan Ge saw Zhao Ying in front of him in an instant, and instantly sobered up.
Today is not only a big day for Yuan Ge to enter the palace, but also a marriage for the prime minister's house, and two major events are carried out at the same time, which has become a major event that has caused a sensation in the capital.
Zhao Ying looked at Yuan Ge with a smile, with crystal clear tears in her eyes, "My daughter's big event, how could my mother be absent, I must congratulate her." With that, he took Yuan Ge's hand and put the bright blood-colored bracelet on his elbow into Yuan Ge's elbow.
"Mother..."Yuan Ge looked at this bloodless mother, and in her emotion, she also remembered her aunt who didn't know where, I wonder if she was okay? Thinking of this, tears can't help but scatter.
Seeing this, Mama Zhao next to her immediately handed the handkerchief to the mother and daughter out of nowhere, "Madam, the little master is a blessed person, today is a great joy, why be too sad." Saying that, he gently soothed Zhao Ying, who was sad.
"Yes, Ge'er, today is the day you enter the palace, and your mother will personally dress up for you, I wish you a prosperous and safe future." As he spoke, he wiped away the tears from his cheeks and waved his hand towards Yuan Ge.
"Yes." Yuan Ge responded in one bite.
Xiao Tao on the side intimately handed the comb engraved with peace to Zhao Ying, Zhao Ying slowly groomed Yuan Ge, and the surrounding maids were moved by the appearance of this mother and daughter. And the Qingying Pavilion in the mansion is obviously not so peaceful.
"Auntie, what are you..."Yuan Qiyun was already very unhappy today, Feng Liu, who should have said something considerate to herself, was not only not like this, but was rummaging through her own small dowry!
"Yun'er, you are about to marry into the Imperial Envoy's Mansion, such a sky-breaking wealth, how can you bear to let your aunt suffer the anger of that slut in this Prime Minister's Mansion, it's useless for you to keep these, it's better to give it to your aunt, and your aunt can still help you in this Prime Minister's Mansion." In the face of her daughter's accusation, Feng Liu was obviously displeased, and she did not stop rummaging through the dowry box while saying something to Yuan Qiyun.
Yuan Qiyun watched her aunt behave like this, and listened to the laughter of Yuan Ge's mother and daughter in the courtyard next door, and she was even more resentful! They are all young ladies from the Prime Minister's Mansion, from a family, why can she be favored by the emperor and touted by everyone, and she can only guard such a useless aunt in this small courtyard? !
'I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled! Yuan Qiyun's fists were already clenched, and his face was full of jealousy.
I don't know how long it took, but as the hair accessories became heavier, the grooming was completed. Yuan Ge raised his eyes slightly to look at himself in the mirror, under the skin that could be broken by blowing, the eyebrows of the willow leaves were curved, the makeup was elegant and exquisite, and the pearls in his ears shone brightly elongated the whole person.
She's going to the palace.
Everything is so unreal, is she going to get married like this?
"Mama Zhao, will this dress be too luxurious, is it arrogant?" Yuan Ge looked at the woman on the side uneasily.
"No, Miss is the lord of the country when she enters the palace this time, and the nobleman is right to dress like this." Mama Zhao replied with a smile on her face, obviously very satisfied with Yuan Ge's careful and meticulous temperament, "The little master doesn't have to be nervous, he has his own old body along the way, and the rules and body should be unified with the old body, and the old body will remind him more, and the little master is at ease." ”
With the passage of time, fine beads of sweat appeared on Yuan Ge's sideburns, and after Xiao Tao saw it, she laughed unconsciously, "On weekdays, Miss can be like this, but she has always been nervous." ”
"Stinky girl, if you dare to talk nonsense, I will let you follow Qiyun into Pei's house." Yuan Ge, who was teased, was a little embarrassed, but he still used words to go out in the spirit of not admitting defeat, which made Xiao Tao believe it and hurriedly begged for mercy in fright. In Xiao Tao's jokes, Yuan Ge didn't seem to be so nervous and scared.
With the arrival of the hour, the sound of 'crackling' firecrackers suddenly sounded outside, mixed with the sound of festive silk and bamboo.
"Miss, it's the fourth lady going out ahead, I don't know who we are..."
"Let's go, what? I'm a nobleman, and the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion still wants me to make way for her? Yuan Ge under the Chinese costume seems to be more courageous, with Yuan Ge's order, the slaves who followed are also magical, the leading place of the grandmother got the order, and immediately got up politely, pushed away Yuan Qiyun's dowry in front of him, and swaggered out, leaving Yuan Qiyun and his party at a loss in the same place.
"Miss, you're too cool today, Xiao Tao is really happy for Madame." In the sedan chair, Xiao Tao's beaming appearance flushed her cheeks, and she looked at Yuan Ge with admiration.
"Little girl, what is this?" Yuan Ge couldn't help but laugh too.
"Little master, after entering the palace today, you can still avoid it, after all, the tree is a big wind, and I hope the little master will keep it in mind."
"Mama, I know, I promise it won't be." The gorgeous costume hairpin ornament can't stop the flexibility in Yuan Ge's bones, just pretending to be a bit of a nobleman, leaving everyone's sight, instantly returning to its original shape, after a period of getting along, Mama Zhao has already figured out her character, and there is nothing to be done in the face of the coquettish Yuan Ge, so she has to pat her forehead helplessly.
I don't know how long it took, Yuan Ge and the others arrived in the imperial city. Under the leadership of the attendants and Mama Zhao, Yuan Ge first arrived at the Jinluan Palace. The palace is resplendent in gold, everywhere shows the wealth and magnificence that only belong to the imperial city, the place where the gold lacquer carved dragon chair in the center of the hall sits a man with flying spirit, the man sits on the top of the middle hall, wears a dragon robe, looks up at all things, quite a bit of the meaning of dominating the world.
"The daughter of Yuan Hongbo, the noble Yuan family visited the lord of the country, and the lord of the country was Wan'an." Reflecting the identity of this person, Yuan Ge walked forward to salute and greet him.
"Sister Yuan is really fresh and refined, no wonder the lord of the country is thinking about it." Yuan Ge lowered her head, and before she could get up, she heard a delicate voice behind her.
"Nobleman, this is Wan Concubine Niangniang." Just when Yuan Ge didn't know how to answer, Zhao Mama's whispered reminder was obviously Yuan Ge's lifesaver.
"Wan Concubine Niangniang is the beauty of the country, and the concubine can't afford it." Yuan Ge sweated silently in his heart, he had long heard that this concubine was stunning and ruthless, why was she so unlucky, and she bumped into this big Buddha as soon as she entered the palace.
"Wen'er, come, I have something for you." Seeing Lin Jiwen's arrival, the filling of the dragon chair instantly summoned him to his side, and pulled it into the dragon chair regardless of everyone's eyes and discussions, Lin Jiwen didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but he just left the place where he bowed down with a proud face.
"Where did I offend this great Buddha, but let me get up first?"
"This is not Mama Zhao by the side of the lord of the country, how can she still kneel, Shuang'er, why don't you go and help Mama up." I saw that Lin Jiwen hurriedly Shuang'er wanted to help Mama Zhao who was kneeling beside Yuan Ge up, but she never thought that when Shuang'er approached, Mama Zhao showed no mercy and not only avoided Lin Jiwen's maid, but looked at Lin Jiwen who was beside Chonghuai in a daze.
"Niangniang, the old body is used to serving people, don't worry, you are a person in the harem, and people in the harem should abide by their duties, one, they have to abide by etiquette, and they dare to sit with the lord of our court, and second, they should not be arrogant and arrogant, twisted and jealous, and let the innocent concubines in the hall be humiliated, dare to ask, this is the good tutor of Lord Lin of Duchafu?" Mama Zhao's words were chiseled, and the words were heart-wrenching, and Lin Jiwen was full of anxiety, and her cheeks were red, how could she stand this pile of hats?
"Lord of the country, Wen'er, no, these are all illusory things, concubine..."
Yuan Geben watched the play quietly on the side, admiring Mama Zhao's outspoken words that were not afraid of the power of the concubine, and lamenting Lin Jiwen's ability to cry coquettishly, if the dragon and crouching tiger are really hidden in the palace, the future days will not be too boring.
Looking at Chonghuai in the middle, how can there be a little pity for the jade, only lightly sipping tea, although he raised his hand to help the beauty up, but there are still those disgusts in the corners of his eyes, yes, disgust.
"Mama's words are serious, it's just that Wen'er is playful, take the noble people to Kunning Hall to see the queen." I saw that the man sitting on the high place didn't want to talk about what Yuan Ge had suffered, but just held the tearful beauty in his arms, and his hand was comforting for a while.
'What a stupid villain, I can't compare with my brother Huai. Yuan Ge scolded in his heart.
"Thank you, Mama." Leaving the gorgeous palace, Yuan Ge relaxed a little, and at the same time bowed to Mama Zhao to express his gratitude.
"The noble man is polite, the old body is just bluntly speaking, and the concubine is unstable." Mama Zhao was quite shocked when she heard Yuan Ge's words, you must know that the ladies in Beijing all look at people with their nostrils, how can they bow and thank her, a grandmother.
Kunning Palace.
Before he stepped in, Yuan Ge heard the unique laughter of the women coming from within, all of them delicate. Walking in, the Kunning Hall is not as luxurious as the Jinluan Palace, but it is also fine, presumably the master has spent a lot of time carefully dressing up.
"The concubine and noble Yuan family visited the queen, and the queen was always happy." Yuan Ge walked in, the laughter stopped abruptly, and the eyes of the audience instantly focused on Yuan Ge, Yuan Ge took a deep breath and walked towards the dignified queen.
"The noble man is really a big shelf, the little noble man actually asked the queen to wait for you alone." Before he got up, Yuan Ge's new difficulties came again.
