August 13, 20th year of Yude

The weather was sunny on this day, but Emperor Yude made an exception, and on this day he called the big rise, and the Manchu Dynasty was ranked behind the left and right. Emperor Yude proclaimed the world, enshrined nine noble girls as the noble daughters of the dynasty, and accepted everyone as royal sisters or righteous daughters on the spot.

The ladies should go up to the temple to give thanks. Of course, what was announced to the world on the spot was also the court's reward and knighthood for their family.

The ladies went to Shuqing Palace and Yukun Hall respectively, met the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, and the Queen presided over the seal hall in the Hehe Palace, all kinds of concubines, also sent their own congratulatory gifts, since the next day, nine royal nobles, have lived in the Royal Garden Tangquan Palace.

Although the nobles are beautiful, who knows all kinds of sadness, because after that, they are about to set off to a foreign land, and each of them bears the weight of their family and country with their slender shoulders.

Regarding the canonization of the noble ladies, Jinhua participated from beginning to end, the fate of these noble ladies, she can be said to be in sight one by one, but there is no way, someone has to do this matter, without the blessing of Daxia, where is there to live and work in peace and contentment, personal sacrifice, compared to the happiness of the family, the sacrifice of these little women is insignificant.

But Jinhua admires them, giving up small righteousness and full righteousness, so although Jinhua is soft-spoken, he also mentioned it in the ear of Emperor Yude, asking the emperor to give them a handful of hometown land.

Emperor Yude hesitated for a long time when she heard her proposal at first, but later she persuaded Emperor Yude.

She said: "In the previous dynasty of Taizong, there was a master Xuanzang who wanted to go to the distant country of Tianzhu to seek the Mahayana scriptures Sanzang, purify all sentient beings, clear the hell, and save the people of Li from the suffering of reincarnation.

Before leaving, Taizong asked, when will the mage return? Master Xuanzang looked back at the city of his homeland, and Taizong for three years, Taizong was grateful, respected Master Xuanzang's wine, and personally leaned over to take a twist of loess on the ground and put it in the wine glass, Master Xuanzang was puzzled, Taizong took his hands, and said earnestly: The master is gone, the days are long, the mountains are far away, you can enter this wine, don't forget: rather love the hometown of a twist of soil, do not love other land ten thousand taels of gold.

Then Master Xuanzang went through a lot of hardships, only to Tianzhu, to obtain the true scriptures, and to study Buddhism, every time he looked in the direction of his hometown, he remembered the words of Taizong, finally, seventeen years later, Master Xuanzang sought the three Tibetan scriptures back to the dynasty, and since then there is the Mahayana Buddhism of the Central Plains.

Enlighten the emperor, noble daughters, this time has been gone for a long time, the mountains and rivers are long, for the righteousness of the family and the country, I am afraid that there will be no day to return, so if the emperor can give them a handful of soil in their hometown, when they miss their homeland, they can always look at each other, they can also talk about comfort, and they can also thank the emperor for his grace. ”

After that, Jinhua knelt on the ground.

Unexpectedly, Jinhua's words aroused the homesickness of several palace people present, and they sobbed on the spot, and they all knelt on the ground, asking Emperor Yude to give the nobles a handful of homeland.

For the first time in his life, Emperor Yude deeply felt the meaning of his homeland to a person, compared his heart to his heart, thought about it for a long time, didn't sleep well, and thought about Jinhua's words over and over again.

Finally, Emperor Yude made a decree and ordered thousands of miles to pass on the post for the nine noble daughters, to capture the land of their hometown, and on the day of the wedding of the noble girls, the emperor himself gave it. And this incident became the practice of Daxia and his relatives after that, and after a long time, it also became a strong stroke on the merit monument of Yude Emperor Yuling. Of course, that's an afterthought.

At this time, this matter has already spread inside and outside the palace, and reached the ears of several noble women, Jinhua, the younger sister who has never met, was grateful to them for Dade, and they also asked someone to enter the palace to make friends, but Jinhua knew the proportions, and in all the replies, they all said that it was the emperor's grace.

Of course, after this incident, Emperor Yude's view of Jinhua has also changed a lot, and he has relied more on it.

August 15 Mid-Autumn Festival

Emperor Yude once again held a state banquet in the Jianji Hall to entertain the royal family and envoys who came to participate in the "Grand Meeting of All Nations", and after this day, the guests from all over the world also left Bactria one after another, and each returned home.

Originally, there was nothing to do with Jinhua at the state banquet, and the officials of the Ministry of Officials and the writers of the Honorable Chambers went to record this national event.

Sure enough, Jing Jin nodded, "Big brother, let Jinhua retire first, you and my brother will talk about our brother's truth." ”

When the prince heard this, he immediately broke off the donkey, nodded, and Jinhua was blessed and turned away. didn't go far when she saw Cheng Yi waiting for her.

"Ouch, I said Little Ancestor, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and the food is cold! After a while, the master is going to blame me again, and the kid is slowly soaring. ”

Cheng Yi hurriedly led her into the house, and hurriedly served her a bowl of hot white rice.

"Hurry up and eat." Saying that, Cheng Yi smiled, "Guess, what kind of fresh dish did I make today?" ”

Cheng Yi pointed to the plate held by the big bowl, and asked her happily, Jinhua glanced at him, and then glanced at the upside-down bowl, and smiled, just about to reach out to grab the big bowl to see what was going on, Cheng Yi quickly held it down.

"It's your favorite roast duck!" Jin Hua said in confidence.

"Huh? Can you guess that?! How did you guess? ”

Cheng Yi was overjoyed, she was really getting more and more godly, she only told her the secret of her favorite roast duck yesterday, and today she can guess that she got roast duck, she is simply too godly.

Seeing her stunned, Jinhua laughed, slapped his hand away, lifted the big bowl to look at it, and then quickly grabbed a piece of meat with a belt and ate it.

"Jinhua, your subordinates are merciful, I prepared this with the master."

Hehe! Jinhua smiled and clipped another piece before withdrawing his hand.

While a few people were muttering, Xing'er suddenly cried. Sanxin immediately looked at Xing'er.

Qiaoxin covered Xing'er's mouth and took her into her arms.

"These words can't be said anymore, you are still young, I don't know, sometimes people can't help themselves, and everyone's responsibilities are different, Aunt Liyue is today as the chief eunuch of the palace of Jingshifang, and she is the chief supervisor, so she should show that majesty, so it's not that Aunt Liyue has changed, it's that she is like this."

Skillfully said so much, and Xing'er gradually stopped crying and sobbing.

"Good sister, although we had unhappiness before, but now we are also sympathetic, and we will all serve by the Queen Mother's side in the future, and we will take care of you." Xiuxin wiped her tears for Xing'er.

Sanxin comforted Xing'er one after another, but he didn't realize that someone was coming not far away.

"Huh!" A silver bell-like laugh, "How many of you are so comforting a stinky child, can she understand?!" "The person who speaks, the voice is like a yellow bird, don't want to listen to it.

Several people hurriedly stood up and saluted when they heard someone talking.

"This little baby was brought back by the Queen Mother, that little companion reads, right?" The virtuous concubine doesn't have a good voice, and her appearance is also very delicate.

"Hui Xian Guifei, yes, it's this child." Clever answers.

"Come on, come on, let Hongu see!" Concubine Xian stretched out her hand to greet Xing'er. "In this palace, there are few girls of such a big age, I saw one today, and she looks so cute, this palace has to take a good look."

Saying that, Concubine Xian led Xing'er forward, came to the Imperial Garden, picked up a pavilion and sat down, and Sanxin followed behind.

"The three of you go back to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother can't do without you, this child, the palace will send someone back in a while, and I will also invite the Queen Mother for me, saying that I will talk to this child for a while."

Xing'er watched them leave, her eyes were a little timid, and Concubine Xian seemed to see it, and quickly took Xing'er's hands.

"Good boy, don't be afraid, I'll ask Lianxin to send you back to the Queen Mother in a while." Concubine Xian pointed to the palace maid behind her, and the palace maid nodded and smiled at Xing'er.

Xing'er nodded and looked at Concubine Xian quietly.

"What's your name?"

"Huixian Guifei, my surname is Zhu, my big name is Jinhua, and the small character Xing'er."

This is the first time that Xing'er has reported her name since she left her parents, I don't know if it was because Concubine Xian was closer, or for other reasons, she blurted out her surname and name to Concubine Xian.

"Jinhua...... Jinhua ...... Very nice name, but also very atmospheric. Does this palace call you Xing'er or Jinhua? ”

Hahaha...... The virtuous concubine and a few palace maids chuckled for a while, this little baby is quite interesting.

"That virtuous concubine teaches you, when you see the concubines and concubines of the palaces in the future, don't call yourself 'I', you must call yourself a 'slave', although you are the companion of the Queen Mother, but after all, you are here to serve the Queen Mother, and you always call yourself 'I', it is inevitable that one day you will be taken by others and blame you, and you may suffer some flesh and skin at that time, understand?!"

Xing'er nodded lightly and looked at Concubine Xian seriously.

"You thin-skinned and tender-skinned, little person, how can you stand such a beating?! Right?! ”

As soon as Concubine Xian said this, Xing'er remembered the appearance of Lingxin when she was beaten just now, and she couldn't help but shudder.

Concubine Xian couldn't help but smile when she saw her reaction, and reached out to touch her little cheek, which was pink and tender, and very cute. The emperor has also mentioned to her many times that she wants to have a princess, but after she only gave birth to two sons, her stomach has not moved.

"How old is that star?" Concubine Xian continued to ask.

"Can Concubine Xian help Xing'er find a home?" Xing'er looked expectant.

"What do you mean by that?" Concubine Xian was curious.

"Xing'er was scattered by the water and the mother-in-law at home." Xing'er saw that the virtuous concubine had a good face, so she wanted to say everything in one go.

"And do you remember where your home was?!"

"I don't know where it is, I just remember that Granny Feng sent Xing'er from Ying County to Guanlong's house." Xing'er said truthfully: "The maid Xiaolian that my mother bought for me was washed away by the flood. ”

Xing'er is too young, and when it comes to things, there are still some inconsistencies, and the virtuous concubines who listen to them are confused.

However, the virtuous concubine made one thing clear, this child is not an ordinary slave, she said that the family wants to send her to Guanlong, presumably she is also a child of the Shi family, no matter how bad it is, it is also related to the Guanlong Shi clan, and this child is also a messenger, no wonder she refuses to call herself a slave.

It's no wonder that the Queen Mother was blue-eyed to her and sent her to be a companion, the Queen Mother and the virtuous concubine were both from Guanlong, presumably the Queen Mother also saw this matter behind the child, so she was named a companion instead of a girl. But what exactly is it about arranging this child to enter the palace?
