Volume 1 The Wind and Snow Enter the Purple Terrace Chapter 22 Gift-giving
The former Wei enjoyed Zuo for more than 300 years, although it was less than half of the 800 years of the Middle Zhou Dynasty, but the Great Wei at that time unified the north and the south, and it was killed several times to escape to the depths of the desert, and only after the Great Wei began to decline did it dare to gradually move back. At its peak, the previous dynasties were beyond its reach, so the palace left in the Northern Liang was extremely large and magnificent.
The whole imperial city sits in the north and faces south, from the main gate of Chongsheng into the palace along the wide palace road through the urn city is the square that can accommodate 10,000 people, white jade paving, after the square is the Chengtian Gate of the great dynasty when the king ascends the city tower to listen to the government, its intention is to take the emperor and the son of heaven, so listen to the subordinates into the court is also inherited from the heavens.
The Great Dynasty is held every ten days when the diligent Gaozu and Ruizong, rain or shine, usually if there is something in general, it is only the Middle Dynasty, it is the main hall of the Middle Pole Palace after the Chengtian Gate. The most common small court meeting, also known as the inner court, is held in the Xuanshu Hall of the main hall of the Jique Palace where the Son of Heaven lived from the former Wei Dynasty to the present dynasty.
It's just that Ji Shen has always been lazy, his ten-day day, most of them are small courts, and the big dynasty is only willing to hold once during major annual festivals - Guy Chengtian Gate listens to the government not only to get up on the fifth watch, but also to carry a lantern to go upstairs, spring and autumn are fine, the summer and winter seasons are hot and cold, Ji Shen is strong but also pampered, but he is not willing to suffer this sin.
The day after tomorrow, however, it was a great pilgrimage.
This is because the responsibility of Mu Qi and Mu Bichuan this time has become extremely complicated because of He Ronghua, the previous few times Ji Shen in the small court because Mu Biwei has not yet entered the palace, everywhere obeyed He Ronghua's will to ask for heavy punishment, but for the left and right prime ministers are not angry with the harem and think that the Mu family has been loyal for several generations, and Xue Languan has now recaptured the life and death to protect people, and the rest of the ministers have easy-going and left and right prime ministers, some please Ji Shen, and some are silent...... The previous few small dynasties were very lively, so lively that a few bad-tempered generals almost started martial arts in the palace.
This time Mu Biwei entered the palace, because it was a new favorite, He Ronghua took a step back when he saw it, Ji Shen naturally wanted to fulfill the previous promise to fight for Mu Qi's father and son, but left and right Cheng was quite early to maintain Mu Qi's father and son, although there is a place to remember the ancestors of the Mu family, the most worrying thing is that Ji Shen is too obsessed with beauty, listens to the words of the favorite concubine everywhere, and regards Liang Lu as nothing, so it will inevitably shake the country's foundation.
So now Ji Shen plans to release Mu Qi's father and son, for the left and right prime ministers, the Mu family, who still needed mercy before, has now become the source of their hatred, so the day after tomorrow, the position of Ji Shen and the left and right prime ministers will be completely reversed, but the first two times did not argue with the result, and now the reverse may not be able to solve it quickly......
The snow was still falling, and except for a few plum trees that were as red as blood outside the Xuanshu Palace, they were all covered with a layer of white in the wind and snow.
Although Mu Biwei's cloak is not the one worn in the palace, it is also similar, the blue and white are actually a little far away in the snow, and it looks no different from pure white, but the edge is embroidered with a red silk thread with lingering branches and leaves, but although Diecui has an umbrella for her, there are also several snowflakes flying on her clothes, covering many branches and leaves.
When Nie Yuansheng walked over, he saw her waiting by the side of the road, and he smiled playfully, although he was a favorite minister of the previous dynasty, but he only had a six-grade rank for the Huangmen squire, so when it came to the grade, he had to salute Mu Biwei, so naturally he couldn't turn a blind eye to it.
"Mu Qingyi is here to visit His Majesty? It's just a coincidence that Fang Xian arrived at the Xuanshu Hall to know that His Majesty was now praying for the New Year. Nie Yuansheng stood a few steps away and said with a smile.
Although Mu Biwei and him met twice yesterday, the first time she was busy calculating that King Gaoyang would relieve the siege for herself, and at that time, Nie Yuansheng was wearing a big fur, and she had never seen her face hidden under the hood, and the second time Nie Yuansheng untied her coat, Mu Biwei was busy speculating about Ji Shen's intentions, so she didn't pay much attention to him, and now she has time to look at this Huangmen squire who is said to be extremely trusted by Ji Shen.
Nie Yuansheng did not wear a red fur today, but changed into a sable, the dark purple almost black and oily and slippery fur set off his face did not look like a mortal person, at this moment, a pair of starry eyes looked at Mu Biwei with a smile, and even had some mockery, obviously measuring the purpose of Mu Biwei's appearance here.
Mu Biwei returned the salute and said with a smile: "Nie Shilang is wrong, but Biwei is waiting for Shilang here." ”
"Tsing Yi said that the lower officials can't afford it, Tsing Yi is a person who wants to be que, how dare the lower officials work Tsing Yi to wait here? Unknown what Tsing Yi is sending? Nie Yuansheng was not surprised when he heard this, but just asked with a smile.
"Yesterday, Biwei was edicted to enter the palace, but was blocked by the prime ministers left and right, listening to Gu Xi's words, thanks to the good offices of the waiter, so I heard that the waiter entered the palace today, and Tete waited here to thank the waiter." Mu Biwei said that Ling Diecui took out a three-inch wide brocade box, and said softly, "Biwei is now humble in the palace, just polite, chatting about her heart, and I hope that the waiter will not be disgusted." ”
"Tsing Yi's words are wrong, but the officials dare not accept this thank you gift." Nie Yuansheng smiled and said, "Yesterday, the prime ministers of the palace agreed to stay in the palace, all because His Majesty loves Tsing Yi, and the lower officials are only six-grade petty officials, which are not as good as the grade of Tsing Yi, how can he speak in front of the left and right prime ministers?" Tsing Yi doesn't want to torture the lower officials. ”
Mu Biwei's hands holding the stove under the cloak secretly forced, she knew that this Nie Shilang was by no means a good person to provoke, such a person swore and promised to be unscrupulous, he only looked at the specific benefits, not to mention that the day after tomorrow is the dynasty, Mu Biwei didn't have so much time to plan, now although she is in the Jique Palace, but can only be in the range north of the Xuanshu Palace, although the atmosphere of this dynasty is not harsh, but it is not open enough to allow women to go to the front court at will, even if she can go, At the court meeting, even the queen couldn't easily interject, let alone a female official of the lowest level, not to mention that there was a Ronghua Niangniang in the Qilan Palace who was always ready to catch her mistakes.
Moreover, Nie Yuansheng was already Ji Shen's favorite minister, what could Mu Biwei promise him?
She secretly gritted her teeth, and still smiled softly on her face: "The most grateful thing is naturally Your Majesty, but the squire does not dare to forget the grace of his words that day, knowing that the squire tastes for His Majesty's companionship, and is used to seeing good things......"
Diecui held the umbrella in his arm beside him, holding the brocade box with both hands, because Nie Yuansheng refused to pick it up, this will be a big snowstorm, this moment the situation has been sore, and the expectations that were coaxed out by Mu Biwei were suddenly depressed, this time Mu Biwei skillfully made a shy, and Nie Yuansheng saw that he really showed a trace of hesitation, and couldn't help but move slightly in his heart, and also secretly sighed in his heart - from Ji Shen to this Nie Yuansheng, even if a man is the son of heaven, when he sees the face of a well-born woman, he doesn't know where his eyes are!
Thinking about it like this, thinking that her appearance was mediocre, she felt more and more disheartened, and at this moment, her hands were empty, but it was Nie Yuansheng who finally took it.
Mu Biwei's heart was also relieved, no matter what, Nie Yuansheng was willing to accept the gift...... She hadn't finished thinking about it, but she saw that Nie Yuansheng didn't open the brocade box, so she dusted off the snowflakes and stuffed them into her sleeves, and said with a smile: "Tsing Yi's words are serious, since it is Tsing Yi's intentions, the lower official will accept it shyly, His Majesty is still waiting for the lower official in the New Year's Palace, and the lower official will leave!" ”
actually took the benefits and withdrew!
Rao is Mu Biwei himself is a small man who is well versed in all kinds of crown styles, but the city is deep in private, and he can't help but be stunned by his dryness, and he actually watched him pass by!
