A trip to the palace
The long dawn passed so quickly, and I stood outside the corridor of the General's Mansion and quietly watched the sky glow white. Then I watched the sunrise come out quietly, and the golden light shone on the earth. It also added a layer of brilliance to the General's Palace.
For this house, it was just a day and a night. But for me, it seems like a thousand years. The sea in my heart has long become a mulberry field. There has been a sea change.
I accepted what fate had to offer me, and I never thought of running away or running away. Because this is the fate I should have walked through. I originally wanted to play the role of Su Daji well. But since last night, when I knew that I was the real Su Daji, my mind was surprisingly calm.
Because there's nothing more casual than being yourself. Although my situation is facing a great test. Even I am rejecting this identity. But if that's what I'm supposed to be facing, I don't have much to worry about.
Luckily, when I was a child, I had a lot of curiosity about this character and studied it in depth, and I thought I knew enough about it, but there are some things that I may only understand if I experience them. For example, I am now.
"Miss, how can you put on white? Today is the day you enter the palace, you should wear something festive, after all, entering the palace is a happy event, how can you wear such plain clothes? You're going to make the king unhappy. ”
Hearing this, I originally wanted to say what kind of good thing it is to enter the palace, so that you are so sought after that you can't even wear plain clothes, but reason pulled me back.
After all, this is the old man in the palace, if my words reach the ears of the king, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious. Empress Jiang doesn't know if she can help me, and even if she does, she doesn't know how much power she can help.
When I think about it, I don't think I'm thinking about it properly. But this matter was originally what I should do, how could I delay the wake because of the matter of entering the palace. Not to mention that they are my biological parents, even if they are not, I should be filial to them.
Seeing the palace maid's unhappy expression, I immediately pretended to be aggrieved: "This grandmother doesn't know that just yesterday night, the king of Xuan invited all the meritorious ministers of the Shang Dynasty, and my father was fortunate to be among them. This was originally a happy event, but for some reason, the news leaked out that a group of traitors came out, and my father died in order to protect the king. ”
"And just last night, when the news came back, my mother found out. The mother was very sad. I drank poisoned wine and went to accompany my father, and the king of Xinde took pity on me and let me enter the court. I can't thank you enough for that. However, both parents died, and I had to keep filial piety and vigilance for this. So I wore plain clothes, and I hope that my father-in-law and grandmother will not blame. ”
Perhaps hearing the tragedy of the death of both my parents that night, the two of them also spoke much better: "In that case, it is nothing for you to wear this plain clothes." After all, he is a filial child. We will also explain this situation to the king, and the king will not be angry with you when he hears your reason like this. ”
"Then Daji thanked the two of you." I was about to bow to them with red eyes, but I was held back by the two of them.
"Miss Su is really serious, since the king let you enter the palace by order, then there must be a concubine on her body. The two of us are just slaves, how can we afford such a kind of etiquette? ”
The two of them waved their hands again and again, and I can't say much. Since the two of them have recognized the identity of my concubine, then I am also half of their master, and it makes sense for them to say so.
"Since the two of you insist on doing so, then I don't have to worry about it. In the future, I will definitely follow the etiquette of the palace, so that you will not worry so much about me. I know my reputation here isn't actually pretty nice and naughty. But I'm definitely going to do my best to correct it. ”
"Then Miss should pay attention in the future, if you are in the palace, then you have to call yourself the little master. If you are promoted to the position of concubine, you have to call yourself the palace. These are all things that you can't change. So this one is also expected to be complied with. ”
"Since it's something you both mentioned, it must be very important to think about it, and I'm sure I'll remember it. But I think this should be the title after entering the palace, I haven't become the concubine or concubine of the king yet. At this time, it still doesn't feel appropriate to call yourself like that. And when I saw the two of them, I really didn't want to use my title and identity to take away any distance. ”
Seeing them call me that way, I also felt a slight relief. I don't know what they think of me, though. But because of this status, they are still willing to respect me. It can be seen that the power of this aristocratic class is really quite influential.
"Since you are willing to say so, little lord. Then we don't have to embarrass you. We are all old men who serve in the palace. In fact, we know a little bit about last night's banquet, but we don't have the power to change it. “
"I don't know what the King told you. But if you can guarantee absolute safety, we don't want you to be so close to the King. The two people on the other side looked at each other when they heard what I said. Then they nodded to each other again. These words were spoken to me.
"The king is the lord of the world, naturally the harem of three thousand countless beauties waiting for luck, if it is because of this matter I plan in my heart, then it must be impossible, and not to mention that there is only one king, according to the king of the king, it is just a pity for me. I don't dare to have too many delusions. ”
Of course I know what they're talking about. But how can I explain it so bluntly? I can only make a round about this matter and talk about it casually.
The father-in-law on the other side opened his mouth, but said nothing, shook his head at me, and said, "Anyway, it's right for you to remember what we said." If you can guarantee absolute safety, you should never approach the king. Although Miss Su is a woman, she must also understand the truth that accompanying a king is like a tiger. ”
Perhaps because he was afraid that I still didn't understand what he meant, the father-in-law reminded me again. Mama glanced at him, although she felt that something was wrong with this, but she still didn't stop it.
When I saw their expressions, I knew that everything I had just said was right. I first told them that they were orphans whose parents had died, and they made them sympathize with me first. Later, he told himself that it was because the descendants of the great heroes were ordered to enter the court.
As long as it is something that still has an impression of last night, then they will definitely know what the real reason for this matter is, even if they don't know that with their many years of experience in the palace, they will definitely be able to guess a few points, and I don't need to say more.
Seeing the two of them reminding me again and again, my intuition told me that they must know about it, but because they suppressed it after doing it, it was not good for them to talk about it in private.
Hearing me say this, they must have known that I didn't understand the inside story, and they still remained grateful to the king, so they reminded me out loud. It seems that I can cultivate these two people well, and maybe sometimes I can use their power to complete my own plans.
"Okay, okay, since you have already entered the palace, there must be a special person to teach you everything, you just need to listen and watch well, and then talk less. Although the identity of the group is indeed a little noble, if you are unhappy after doing it, then some people may end up worse than us slaves. ”
"Miss, don't blame us for speaking too badly, what we say is the truth, and I don't want to remind ordinary people, after all, Miss, you are willing to take the initiative to get close to us and trust us, so we remind you. If it makes you unhappy, then you don't say it. When we enter the court, we are the servants of the master. You must not use my name again. ”
The father-in-law next to me looked at the position of the sunrise, and hurriedly urged me and the grandmother to help me get into the sedan chair.
"In fact, this sedan chair is also exquisite. The king and the queen are riding in a dragon and phoenix sedan chair, and the king gives you a peacock, so you must be very fond of you. However, the three thousand beauties of the king live in the harem, and if you want to live in peace, it depends on whether other people are willing or not. ”
"But when the slave just attacked, I heard that Miss Su's father, General Su, recognized Empress Jiang as his sister-in-law, maybe you can find her. Maybe when you encounter difficulties, Queen Jiang can help you. ”
My father-in-law said such a thing again, and I was a little surprised to mention me, does everyone know about this matter? If the king knew about it, and he killed my father, wouldn't the relationship with the queen be bad?
If everyone knows about this matter, then it will not be easy to do, although I don't know if there is any mention of the two of them in history, but Queen Jiang is older than King Su is a thing that everyone knows about marrying a person who is bigger than themselves, in this era, except for the power of the mother's family is strong enough. I can't guarantee that there is really a real relationship.
Thinking of this, I can't help but have a headache, how can this thing be more difficult than the other, it seems that I am really not suitable to stay here inexplicably, what to do if I miss the peaceful life in the past, thinking of this, I can't help frowning.
I rubbed my brow in pain, and the two servants at any time just thought that I still couldn't let go of the death of my parents and didn't say anything about me. It's okay to say anything in the palace, after all, the words in private have been finished, and it's my master's business if I don't listen to it.
