Chapter Twenty-One: The New Court Lady
The news of the newcomers in Yuxiu Palace spread quickly, and it seemed that the emperor did not hide it.
Soon after breakfast, the decree was handed down, and a special deacon was appointed, who was a court lady who was not among the harems.
Everyone was going to go and see what was going on, but who knew that the dispute would be settled so quickly.
"It's just a female official, and she can't make any waves."
A Gong E said softly while helping Yu Ji arrange her hair.
Yu Xi was silent, looking at the flower face in the mirror, thinking that it had been ten days since she entered the palace, and she had not seen the emperor's face, her heart sank little by little.
Now that I heard that the emperor brought a woman into the palace and made a female official, I can't put my mind at ease, I have to find a reason to take a look.
It just so happened that the Queen Mother rewarded the palaces with some blessing oranges from the new tribute of Gyeongju, so she asked Xiao Mo next to her to bring some to go out with her.
It's not appropriate to think about it, so Rou'er found a golden hairpin embedded with the word Fu, and then she was ready to go.
As soon as I arrived in the courtyard, I saw that the eunuch who had summoned the message had beaten a small golden drum, and the drum beat continuously, counting nine verses, and the last one was extraordinarily long, not as sonorous as the emperor's order.
Yu Xi's heart moved, knowing that the Queen Mother had important orders, and she was busy waiting outside the palace.
Sure enough, it didn't take much time to guide the palace maid, and asked her to go to Shoukang Palace according to the makeup, saying that there were many new concubines this year, and they wanted to practice the ceremony of worshiping their ancestors.
"I can't go today, it's good to take care of the other concubines, and the female official doesn't know what kind of ability she can ask His Majesty to directly recruit her into the palace as a deacon." Xiao Mo said indignantly.
"You can't judge others like this in the palace, Xiaomo, you have to always mention your words and deeds."
Yu Xi scolded Xiao Mo, but she had all kinds of feelings in her heart, and she could only suffer slowly, and it took an hour for her to make up a lot, which was just enough time for her to think about it for a while.
Last night's grandfather's words, Yu Xi didn't hear it in her heart, but she hadn't seen the emperor's face yet, so she was defeated, and she was unwilling.
Xiao Mo picked up the pale pink powder and gently put it on Yu Xi's face, "Miss, you didn't sleep well last night, so close your eyes and rest for a while." ”
"Grandfather had to let us come back overnight, and he was so careful." Yu Xi closed her eyes lightly and sighed.
"Yes, I haven't gone back to talk to the little sisters, they are all very envious, saying that I can follow the young lady to this palace to see the world." Xiao Mo pursed her lips, also very dissatisfied.
"Grandfather is a master, he has always been thoughtful, let's listen to him, this Your Majesty's mind is really hard to guess. These days, not even a single beauty has been summoned, and the canonization is impossible to talk about. ”
"Miss don't worry, it's Chinese New Year's Eve, it is estimated that Your Majesty wants everyone to have a surprise."
"Yes, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the canonization is about these two days."
"With Miss's appearance, how can she be sealed a good position, you can rest assured." Xiao Mo smiled eatingly, thinking that if the young lady had a position, her monthly silver would also be bullish.
In the Guande Palace, the emperor quietly summoned the new female official.
"Yuxiu Palace, are you still used to living there?"
"Your Majesty Xie asked, Yuxiu Palace is very good, and it is close to His Majesty's Guande Palace."
"I specially asked Qingchi to clean up for you in advance, Yuxiu Palace is spacious, and it is cheaper for you to do the law."
The female officer bowed down and saluted again, "Wangshu thanks Your Majesty for thinking thoughtfully, it's just that our Holy Sect doesn't pay attention to rituals, and those are all trivial things.
What really matters is a pious heart and a belief that keeps moving upward.
As long as Your Majesty is willing to believe in me and believe in the power of the Holy Sect, the Fire God will definitely bless Your Majesty soon. ”
"Of course I believe in you, if you need anything, tell me, in this palace, I allow you to come and go freely at any time."
Wangshu bowed upwards twice, stopped talking, and slowly retreated.
Ji Fansheng watched Wangshu leave, and he liked this witch's appearance of not talking much, but also firm and powerful.
Probably under the influence of Ruoshui, Ji Fansheng has always liked strong women, and the sense of stability that his mother failed to give can be found in them one by one.
Ruoshui's force value made him in Hongzhou City, no one dared to bully him.
I remember that at the beginning, there were also people who came to provoke, and there was no need for Ji Fansheng to speak, if the water would go to their trouble.
None of them were spared, and those people were always beaten to their knees and begged for mercy.
When she sat on the throne, the rebellions everywhere were also quelled, and she swept Liuhe, which was really majestic.
It's just that she left herself like that......
Meeting Wangshu can be said to be an accident, or it can be said to be a predestined arrangement of God.
For the people of Holy Borneo, Kyushu is not only the source of culture, but also the source of various mysterious powers.
Wangshu came from Kyushu, and it took her several months to cross the ocean by boat before she arrived in Holy Borneo.
She was deeply shaken by the desert of faith here, how could no one believe in the Three Holy Sects?
In Kyushu, the Three Holy Religions existed as a state religion, the monarch believed in it, the people supported it, and every witch was a lucky one chosen by the gods.
Wangshu was the lucky one who accepted the mission of propagating the religion and crossed the sea to Holy Borneo.
No matter how big the wind and waves were along the way, she never had the intention of backing down.
One night, the wind on the sea began to rise violently, and in a short time the waves were several people high.
The boatman began to bow to the statue of Luozu. The other passengers, some of them were muttering about Luozu, some were opening their eyes in horror, and some were screaming bitterly.
Wangshu was unhurried on the dark sea, slowly looking for traces of starlight.
The wind and waves became more and more fierce, and the boat began to shake violently.
The passengers began to run around, which added to the turbulence of the boat.
Wangshu seemed to be nailed to the deck, her body undulating with the undulations of the ship, but never deflected, like a flag standing in the wind.
The frightened shouts of others didn't seem to affect her at all, she just stared at the sky, as if looking for something.
Finally, she locked on Beidou's position and began to chant words.
Her hands rose and fell, marking a strange patch of symbols.
"Too up-and-coming star, the response is non-stop, and the urgency is like a law!"
The Beidou suddenly lit up, and that light was not clear at first in the dark night, but gradually it became brighter and brighter, as if it pierced the sky.
The surroundings began to calm down, and the wind and waves stopped being turbulent.
Everyone was bathed in the starlight of the Beidou and felt extraordinarily calm.
The surrounding area was still turbulent, but the surrounding area of the ship was quiet.
After about a quarter of an hour, the wind and waves at sea had completely subsided.
Wangshu took a deep breath, she got up to worship the heavens, and muttered a prayer in her mouth: "The Holy Religion has made me truthful, and the Holy Light shines in all directions. ”
The people next to her were still stunned, but they saw that she was like a goddess, with her hair scattered, facing the slight sea breeze, and opening her arms, like a bird about to spread its wings and soar.
