Chapter 12: Entering the Palace
Nanzhao is different from Tianpu, now Tianpu still has a little coolness, and Nanzhao has bloomed flowers and trees, the air is slightly moist, which makes people breathe extraordinarily pleasantly, Hongling lies on the carriage window and breathes fresh air, the scenery outside the window is very beautiful, not more than so many people on the street just now, the flowers and plants in the palace are arranged very well, many peach trees are planted on both sides of the road from the first door to the second door at the entrance, it is the flowering season, bursts of fragrance, it is very refreshing.
"It seems that Ling'er loves the scenery of my country very much" Hearing Chen Jinye say this, Hong Ling turned around and said: "Nanzhao is very beautiful, I really like it", I saw Chen Jinye smile slightly and said: "It seems that you adapt quickly", Hong Ling smiled back, and then looked out of the window again.
After a while, when I arrived at the second gate, the carriage was not allowed to enter, and it took a short walk to get to the inner palace, and the road from the second gate to the inner palace was slightly winder, and the flowers and plants on the side of the road were more exquisite, but there were more palace maids and eunuchs serving here, and the atmosphere was slightly solemn, and Hongling also received her eyes looking everywhere, and was obediently accompanied by Chen Jinye.
After the two entered the palace, although there was not too much communication, they were envious of others all the time, especially when they came in from the second gate, their every move was watched by others, and the two walked slowly on this road with their hands, Hongling looked at the palms held by the two and sighed slightly, from Tianpu to Nanzhao, he was always an accessory of this palace, and no one could help how he indulged before, but now he was arranged clearly, and he obediently accepted them one by one, and couldn't help but sigh that this boiled frog in warm water really made the frog unavoidable.
Chen Jinye saw that she was stunned, so he said: "This king didn't know that the smart Princess Ling'er would also put her thoughts on her face like this", Hong Ling looked back at Chen Jinye, and saw that his expression was the same, if he didn't really hear him talking, I'm afraid no one would be able to see that he had paid attention to her, Hong Ling lowered her voice from Chen Jinye's example, and responded while walking calmly: "The concubine is afraid that the word 'smart' is a foolish woman, and I am afraid that the prince will love her." This king doesn't know how many foolish women in the world can marry into her husband's family and negotiate calmly and calmly that night," Hong Ling glanced at him and stopped talking.
The two of them passed through the palace walls and finally came to the queen's Fengluan Palace, and after the messenger reported, the loud voice of the palace people came: "Prince Ye, Princess Ye has arrived!" ”。
Subsequently, Chen Jinye carried Hongling in, and when Hongling walked through the courtyard, Hongling was attracted by the luxuriant flowers and plants, not so much to attract but to describe it more appropriately with shock, although he had just appreciated the exquisite layout of flowers and plants in the Nanzhao Palace, but the flowers of the Fengluan Palace were on a higher level, except for the layout, each one was as beautiful as the general on the picture scroll, and even the branches and leaves of the flowers seemed to have been deliberately carved in general, not only delicate and extraordinarily neat, the lush and beautiful flowers were compared with the garden of the Queen Mother of Pu, And in terms of arrangement and pattern design, I have never seen it since I came to this world, and after admiring it, Hongling's eyes did not dare to linger more, and she hurriedly skipped it.
Walking into the main hall, it was like a pair of golden people sitting in the main hall, the Empress was kind to the Emperor and peaceful, and there seemed to be a faint smile, the temperament was completely different from the sense of oppression given by the Emperor of Tianpu, Hong Ling immediately felt the kindness exuded by these two people, and even between the eyebrows of the two there was a certain soft atmosphere.
"Erchen (Erchen) and his wife and children (with husband) greet their father and mother."
"Hahaha, no courtesy," the emperor smiled heartily, and the queen squeezed Hongling's hand and held it up, also full of smiles
"Ling'er is new to my country, can you still get used to eating and wearing?" The Emperor asked with a smile
"Back to my father, although my sons and daughters have just arrived in Nanzhao, the prince has taken good care of food and clothing."
seemed to be dissatisfied with Hongling's unfamiliar answer, and before the emperor could speak, the queen continued: "Ling'er doesn't have to be so formal, if there is anything you are not used to, you must talk to the palace."
Hongling's face turned slightly red and said, "Yes."
"Father, mother, Ling'er hasn't given you tea yet, you can let her give you a tea" Chen Jinye interjected, the emperor smiled at this sentence: "The queen and I sit here and wait for my daughter-in-law to serve tea" Hearing this, the queen sat next to the emperor with a smile, Hongling took a cup of tea from the tea tray served by the palace maid, walked to the emperor, and knelt down slowly, "The son Liu Ling'er served tea to his father, and wished his father a long life" The emperor took a sip of tea, and then motioned to Hongling to get up, Hongling took another cup of tea and knelt in front of the queen," After the son Liu Ling'er served tea to his mother, he wished his mother an eternal appearance, "The queen took the tea and drank a sip, after the ceremony, the four of them talked for a while, and the emperor left because he was busy with government affairs, Chen Jinye chatted with the queen for a while and also went to the imperial study, leaving only Hongling and the queen to chat.
In the imperial study, "Now, I have finally made peace with Tianpu, but the identity of this Ling'er county lord is not as good as those pure-blooded royal families, I am afraid that if this Tianpu Dynasty has wolf ambitions, it will not take this princess to heart."
"Father, the son feels that this Ling'er County Lord has many outstanding points, I'm afraid that the emperors of the Tianpu Kingdom have not discovered her talent"
"Oh? What do you notice? ”
"I didn't find anything, Erchen inferred from some of Ling'er's words and deeds yesterday, but Erchen will investigate secretly, please rest assured that my father"
"That's it, now that I have just made peace with Tianpu, I guess there will be no mistakes in a short period of time, but my country's national strength is weakened, and it can still be hidden from the outside world, in case an enemy country detects it, even if I marry Tianpu, I am afraid that there will be trouble."
"Father, don't worry too much and hurt the dragon body, the son will find a way to deal with the previous disaster properly"
"If that's the case, it's not in vain."
After bidding farewell to the emperor, Chen Jinye couldn't help but think, this Liu Ling'er was shrewd, thinking that she would make a fool of herself, but she didn't expect to know so much about the marriage customs of the Nanzhao royal family, and she actually cooperated with him without leaking, and all the etiquette was done just right.
In the Fengluan Palace, "You don't have to be polite when you come to this palace, if Ye'er bullies you, tell your mother, the queen mother is your master", "The queen mother said and laughed, the prince is very good to me" Hong Ling pretended to be shy, Hong Ling and the queen swam in the garden, and the queen said gently: "Ye'er is a very kind child, he will definitely not treat you badly."
Hongling looked back at the queen, the queen's soft eyes wrapped themselves up at once, for a while her heart seemed to be blown by a gentle wind, this warm feeling, let her memory go back to the summer five years ago, at that time my parents were not divorced, I was in a hurry to go to school, my father was in the kitchen ping pong cooking breakfast, I naughtily fled to school, at that time, my mother often looked at me like this, I kept making trouble, she kept laughing......
The queen saw Hongling looking at herself in a daze, and reached out to pat Hongling on the shoulder: "What's wrong?" Homesick? Hong Ling came back to her senses and nodded slightly, the queen was trying to comfort her, but before she could speak, Hong Ling diverted and said: "Queen Mother, the flowers and plants here are so beautiful." The queen smiled: "These flowers and plants have been collected from various countries over the years, each one is very rare, if Ling'er likes it, I will send someone to give you some in a while, Hongling kindly hugged the queen's hand, "Erchen thanked the queen mother."
After a while, Chen Jinye rushed back to have lunch with the queen with Hongling, and said goodbye to the queen with Hongling after the meal. Passing through the layers of palace walls and getting into the carriage, "I can't imagine that Ling'er is so familiar with the etiquette in my country's palace", "It's not familiar, it's just a little homework done in Tianpu before", "Oh? The emperor of this celestial spectrum can be very meticulous, and such subtle etiquette has been taught to you", Hong Ling pursed her lips slightly, and did not intend to continue this topic, and then said: "The prince made an appointment with me before, so I can enter and leave the palace freely?" Chen Jinye changed his posture: "That's right, but you can't go out today, there is a dinner party in the evening, you need to prepare."
"Yes"
