Chapter Forty-Eight: The East Palace
Jiang Banxia fastened his soft armor and stood out from the crowd.
The chamberlain sighed and said straightly: "The prince summoned you, come with us quickly, don't delay!" ”
Most of the Jinyi guards who had been seconded to the East Palace knew Jiang Banxia, and many of them were eyebrows, so she seized the opportunity.
Jiang Banxia had a smile on his face and nodded slightly in response.
"The prince is angry in the palace, and his steps are light when he goes in for a while." The chamberlain walked quickly, stopping from time to time to wait for Jiang Banxia who was following behind.
"Thank you father-in-law for the point." Jiang Banxia easily stuffed the purse into the hand of the chamberlain, although money is not a panacea, but most of the time it is very useful.
"I can't do it, I can't do it." The chamberlain pushed the money back and said, "It's all the same family, it's too raw to do this." ”
There is a custom of recognizing a godfather in the inner servant, saying that he is in the same family, and this should also be Cao Alcohol's godson.
"My father-in-law knows me?" Jiang Banxia did not take back the purse, but forced it into the other party's sleeve.
The waiter who received the money had a more genuine smile on his face: "I met in Dongchang before, and I waited for pen and ink in front of my godfather." ”
Jiang Banxia suddenly realized, she asked, "Dare to ask what your father-in-law is called?" ”
"The word father-in-law, you can't, you can't, your family calls me Feng Bu."
"Father-in-law Feng, serving in front of his godfather, deserves this title." She looked at Feng Bu with a smile, her eyes full of sincerity.
Her words were very useful to Feng Bu, and when she met Jiang Banxia, who had a sweet mouth, Feng Bu, who had entered the palace since he was a child and was well versed in the way of being afraid of sycophants, was coaxed into laughter.
"How did Gonggong Feng get to the East Palace?" Jiang Banxia's tone changed: "When I came to the East Palace a few days ago, I didn't see my father-in-law?" ”
"I was only transferred to the East Palace recently." Feng Bu's face changed: "It's not early, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still waiting." ”
Seeing that this eunuch surnamed Feng changed his face, Jiang Banxia had a judgment in his heart, I am afraid that this Feng Bu was not sent to the East Palace to be on duty because of any good thing.
Before he entered the little prince's bedroom, he heard crackling and smashing things.
"Get out!"
Feng Bu glanced at Jiang Banxia, hurriedly piled up the smile on his face, and trotted into the hall with the hem of his clothes.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, someone brought it to you." He bent over and leaned in front of the little prince: "Don't be angry, you still need to preside over the Spring Festival." ”
Feng Bu was kicked over by the little prince who was on fire, and the eight or nine-year-old child had little strength, but Feng Bu still screamed exaggeratedly.
"No one has come in yet!" The little prince folded his sleeves and sat on the chair with a huff, waiting for the rest of his life.
"Minions, let's go." Feng Bu got up from the ground, he turned and tilted his head, and rolled his eyes at the prince's companion.
The prince's companion Liu Rong has been serving since the prince was born, and he is a eunuch with a head and a face in the eldest princess's mansion, and he is also a unique existence in the East Palace.
Jiang Banxia followed Feng Bu into the dormitory, and she bowed her hand: "Little Jiang Xia, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
The little prince pretended to be old and raised his hand and said, "Get up." ”
The decoration of the dormitory of the East Palace is extremely simple, and there is no carved beams and painted buildings as Jiang Banxia imagined, compared to the Chengqian Palace, the shabby here is not a little bit.
The little prince sitting on the chair was wearing no shoes, he was wearing a bed coat, his hair was not tied up, and his little face was puffing out.
Feng Bu immediately took the sacrificial robe and walked to the feet of the little prince: "Your Highness, the hour is coming soon." ”
Liu Rong, who was standing on the side, said: "It's okay to change it when you get to the Gufu Palace, Your Highness will have some food first, and the festival will take a day." ”
On both sides, you said a word to me, and the little prince who was caught in the middle finally couldn't help but scold: "Shut up!" ”
"You're here to serve me." The little prince raised his hand and pointed at Jiang Banxia.
Jiang Banxia silently took the tray in Feng Bu's hand and held the sacrificial robe in front of the little prince: "Your Highness, please." ”
is also a person under Cao Alcohol, she and Feng Bu are 'the same family', and it is obvious who to help at a glance.
Liu Rong's nose and eyes were crooked, he stood up straight and said in a strange manner: "Your Highness asked you to serve, not to let you stand here." ”
The little prince sitting in the chair suddenly stood up, his brows furrowed, and he grabbed the sacrificial robe on the tray and put it on himself.
I don't know why, he doesn't like Liu Rong, who grew up with him, and he doesn't like the newcomer Feng Bu, this feeling of disgust is increasing day by day, and he wants to do it.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, you can't do it! Let the minions come. Liu Rong stepped forward to help the little prince smooth out the folds on his clothes.
The little prince dodged, and he said, "This palace will come by itself." ”
Liu Rong made a sad look, he grew up with His Highness, and now His Highness is tired of him, this kind of loss makes him difficult to accept for a while.
After the little prince put on the sacrificial clothes, Jiang Banxia stepped forward to help him tie his belt with a very good eye.
The eight- or nine-year-old child had not yet grown up, so she could only squat down and tie it, and the belt inlaid with jade jewels weighed a little weight in her hand, and she wrapped the belt from back to front, and found that the little prince had been staring at the top of her head.
"There's a petal." The little prince stretched out his hand to twist the petals, he put the petals into Jiang Banxia's palm, and sighed in a low voice: "It's a peach blossom." ”
...
The prince's guard of honor has been prepared, and the entourage is lined up neatly, and the hem of the clothes is embroidered with gorgeous luster, which is hard to break through the thick night, and the brilliant lights extend all the way to the suburbs of Beijing.
The neatly dressed little prince was helped into the car by the chamberlain and rushed to the Temple of the Sun by night.
As an attendant, Jiang Banxia rode a horse and followed the chariot, and with her were other attendants of the East Palace, while the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division were guarding one person every five steps, and the places where the prince's honor guard passed were all under martial law.
Jiang Banxia controlled the horse and followed the prince's carriage, the night breeze gently blew through her sideburns, and the spring in Kyoto did not seem to be bad.
At three o'clock, the prince's guard of honor arrived at the north altar in the service hall, the little prince entered the hall to repair, and the rest of the people stood by.
Feng Bu pulled Jiang Banxia to hide in the hide: "Thank you just now." ”
When he first arrived in the East Palace, he was angry and squeezed by Liu Rong everywhere, in his eyes, Liu Rong was a thing, in terms of seniority, Liu Rong didn't know where to cry his father and call his mother when he was in charge of the ceremonial supervisor, and he didn't put him in his eyes because he was the prince's companion, which was really hateful.
"Father-in-law Feng is polite, we are a family." She said: "I can't see what happened just now, Liu Rong's father-in-law has done too much." ”
Feng Bupi snorted coldly without smiling: "Liu Rong's eyes are above the top, looking down on those of us who came later, relying on the prestige of the eldest princess, thinking that he can follow the prince into the lord in the future..."
"Gonggong Feng said cautiously." Jiang Banxia interrupted Feng Bu's words: "It's not good to be listened to by someone with a heart. ”
"The same family reminded me in time, and I was almost dizzy with anger just now." Feng Bu exclaimed angrily: "Do you know why the prince lost his temper in the East Palace today? ”
"Oh?" Jiang Banxia pretended to be very surprised: "I would like to hear Gonggong Feng mention one or two." ”
