Chapter 317: There are a lot of rules
"Two sisters, when I finish the ceremony, you will hurry back to Nanzhou, I can feel that they will not stay with us for long!"
"Hmm!" The two nodded heavily.
Sending these people to the other courtyard, Tong Xiaowu began to prepare to go to the palace, today is the day to go to the palace, and the carriage from the palace has already come.
At the same time, the teaching grandmother in the palace has also arrived in the other courtyard, no matter what Tong Xiaowu's identity is, now that she has been made a concubine, then Tong Xiaowu's parents always have to meet with the emperor, before meeting, the queen mother in the palace was afraid that they would lose the royal face, so they sent someone to teach the rules of the palace.
When the people of Shanshui Village saw the grandmother in the palace, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to take a breath, and Tong Dafa, who was proud of his martial arts on weekdays, also became cautious, and he did whatever he wanted.
Tong Xiaowu didn't have time to care about them, so she took Qingxiu and Xiaohe into the palace.
first went to see the emperor and queen, and gave a big gift, and then, in front of many concubines in the harem, the queen told her to take care of King Xuan after she got married, share his worries and solve problems, and let her give birth to a noble son early and so on.
The queen gave gifts, Tong Xiaowu saluted the emperor and queen, and saluted the concubines in the harem, and after the concubines also gave gifts, they withdrew from Kunning Palace.
Coming to the Queen Mother's Huarong Palace, it is also such a procedure, but Huarong Palace is not facing harem concubines, but many princesses of all ages.
Among them, there are five princesses of the elder generation, seven princesses of the same generation, and seven princesses who are married, a total of more than a dozen people, sitting in two rows according to their generation, which is similar to the battle in Kunning Palace.
And here, there are more rules for saluting.
First salute the Queen Mother, and then several elder princesses, all of whom are aunt-in-law types.
I heard that the first emperor had a total of ten princesses, and only six were married to relatives, and there were originally four who stayed in the capital, but the four princesses of the relatives almost died in the north because of their frailty and illness, and were later taken back by Xuanyuan, and now there are five.
said that it was good to call it back, and if it was not good, it was to reconcile with the other party, but no matter what, at least he didn't die in the North Hell.
Yesterday, Tong Xiaowu heard Mama Zhang say that this princess is also a poor person, she used to be in good health when she was in the palace, but she was almost beaten to death by the leader of that tribe when she arrived in Beiming, and she became seriously ill in the later period.
After the Queen Mother was distressed, she asked someone to take her back, if the Queen Mother was unintentional, I am afraid it would also be the fate of dying outside.
Whoever is born in the emperor's family is destined for good life, and how much sorrow there is.
Tong Xiaowu saluted here according to the size of the age, but fortunately, with the leadership of the grandmother in the palace, Tong Xiaowu didn't make any jokes, but this set of etiquette is indeed a little tiring.
"Okay, okay, it's all a family, it's feasible, come here, Princess Xuan come over......" The Queen Mother saw that the etiquette was over, and hurried to speak.
Tong Xiaowu left many princesses and came to the Queen Mother's side, "The Queen Mother Wan'an!" ”
"In the future, I will call Grandma Mourning the Emperor, just call it the same as King Xuan!"
"Yes!"
Today's Tong Xiaowu knows the rules very well, and she doesn't overstep it at all, because she knows that if it doesn't go smoothly, it will be difficult to get out of the palace today, and tomorrow will be the day of the ceremony, and she will be busy in the next three days.
On the first day, the first day of the reception, the evening banquet, the formal salute, the second day to have a banquet, is considered a positive day, the third day to return the invitation, some of the relationship is good, help more to be invited again on the day of the return of the invitation, as to repay the other party's busy kindness.
"This is for you, fill in the dowry!" The Queen Mother took a box from the side and handed it to her.
Tong Xiaowu stretched out her hand to take it, "Thank you, Grandma Huang......"
Then handed it to Qingxiu on the side, Qingxiu took it with both hands, not daring to slack off in the slightest, and when he got out of Huarong Palace in a while, he could give it to the other maids, and now he must be respectful.
"No thanks!" The Queen Mother looked at Tong Xiaowu, she wanted to say a lot but didn't say anything, she looked down at the princesses below, and finally she just nodded, "Yes, at least now that the concubine is sealed, I only hope that you will be safe and healthy in the future!" ”
As she spoke, she grabbed Tong Xiaowu's hand and squeezed it hard, all the words in it were in it, Tong Xiaowu nodded, "Don't worry, Grandma Huang, we will be fine!" ”
"Uh-huh!"
Don't look at the Queen Mother, she didn't have any special feelings for her from beginning to end, but Tong Xiaowu knew that she helped herself a lot.
Not to mention anything else, when they established the mansion, the emperor sent guards, in order to protect King Xuan, the queen sent house slaves, in order to monitor them, and the queen mother sent Mama Zhang, in order to take care of Tong Xiaowu and explain to her all kinds of affairs in this palace, in order to protect her and protect King Xuan.
There is also the matter of the flooding of the two lakes, if she hadn't been enlightened and recommended by the emperor, that matter would have been possible at all.
If that thing doesn't work out, Tong Xiaowu's property in the later period is likely to be confiscated by the national teacher and others on the grounds that officials and businessmen cannot share the same household.
Although on the surface, the Queen Mother stood in Tong Xiaowu's position for the sake of King Xuan's country, but no matter what, she still benefited from her.
Of course, Tong Xiaowu knew that in the heart of the Queen Mother, Xuanyuan's interests were definitely greater than herself.
There is also the matter of auctioning donations, although Princess Mu entered the palace and ran away, but the Queen Mother's consent also played a decisive role.
In general, from beginning to end, she helped her less.
And what she said just now was also for their good in the heart.
Coming out of the Queen Mother, a palace maid came to pick up people, "Princess Xuan, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother have all met, is it time to meet my master?" ”
"Who is your house?" Tong Xiaowu asked.
"The ...... of the Crown Princess of the East Palace"
Tong Xiaowu lowered her head, "Okay!" ”
What should come will always come, and you can't hide if you want to!
Why is the place where the prince lives called the East Palace? Because in ancient times, in terms of residential feng shui, the east is the largest, so the prince's palace is the east palace, which is also in the east of the palace, which means that the people who live here are the most powerful among the princes.
The sedan chair walked through the long alley, passed the small garden, passed through the two long streets, and finally arrived at the boundary of the East Palace.
In the long alley, there was no one, Qingxiu and Xiaohe, who were following on both sides of the sedan chair, looked around, and felt furious in their hearts, "Princess, is it so quiet here?" ”
Tong Xiaowu looked at the eunuch carrying the sedan chair, glanced at the two of them, and then shook his head slightly, the two understood and stopped talking.
Tong Xiaowu thought, tomorrow is the day to pick up the kiss, no matter what, the princess doesn't dare to do anything to her, it's just a little bit of tongue, and she will endure it when she endures it.
