Chapter 484: Entering the Palace Alone
Although the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was evening, the Qin family was out of the house with the blessings of their daughters just after lunch.
Not only her, but all the masters of the fourth-rank or above in the capital, or the lord, the prince, the prince, the male fifth-class lord, also left the mansion with their wives and daughters. The men went to the front to meet Emperor Jianlong, and the women went to the harem to meet the empress dowager, and had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with the most honorable mother and son of Da Zhou, respectively, to show the joy of the prince.
It was the carriage that the Qin clan was riding, and when it was still far away from the palace gate, the carriage lined up on the right side was no longer in sight.
Qin's carriage obediently stopped at the end of the line and waited, and of all the carriages, she was the lowest-ranking and the most conspicuous oneβonly these two carriages did not have the ornaments with identity markings.
However, the Qin family waited for no tea, so a prison guard came to pass the word and asked the Qin family to enter the palace first. As a result, Qin's low-key carriage slowly moved towards the head of the team from the tail of the team, and immediately became the most conspicuous and high-profile one, attracting everyone's attention.
"Who is the boy next to the car?" The old woman in the carriage of the Lihou Mansion lifted the curtain and saw that the young man was not a servant of the house when he saw that he was dressed.
"That's the nephew of the Qin'an people, who came to Beijing with him." Someone outside the carriage immediately replied.
"It's a down-to-earth look." The old lady in the carriage nodded pertinently, it must be her close to the Qin family who could stay by her side, "Can you get married?" β
"This young man is eleven years old, still studying in the academy, and has not been married." The people in the carriages in front of him were also talking about Qin Erlang, and those who were interested in Qin's mother and daughter had already figured out this family, "He studied in the Chen family in his ancestral hometown and studied under Ding University. The Chen family study was built by that Chen Zumo. β
Who is that Chen Zumo, everyone in Beijing knows it! It is the first Chen Zumo in the Great Zhou who was ordered by the Holy Order to take off the title of champion and divorced his wife after jumping into the Dragon Gate.
"What?" The middle-aged lady in another carriage was surprised, "The scholar of the Hanlin Academy, the priest of the country, and the wine Ding Zhonghe, actually taught him to read?" That's amazing, that's amazing. β
"Someone has tried it, this Qin Yihao's knowledge is not outstanding." In the carriage in front of her, a mother-in-law was telling her master what she had heard.
The two unmarried girls in the car looked out through the curtain and retracted their gaze.
"If you don't know outstandingly, maybe it's because you're obscure; What if it's really not outstanding? The Qin family of three, which one was favored by the Queen Mother and the Holy Lord by virtue of his talent? β
There was another lady in the carriage with a sour tone, and the mother and daughter of the Qin family just relied on the opportunity to see the Queen Mother and the Holy Lord. If her daughter has this opportunity, she will definitely be favored by the Queen Mother! It's a pity that don't talk about her daughter, she herself hasn't passed the gate of Cining Palace every year!
Seeing the Qin family's carriage passing by her, in a carriage with the royal family emblem, an old woman gloated, "The eldest daughter of the Qin family has a meritorious escort, and the younger daughter has been rewarded by the saint, the queen mother and the queen, and even the big yellow dog of her family has a collar made by the saint himself." What a glorious view this is? King Hejun and the Qingguo Mansion are afraid that they will not be able to sleep peacefully from now on. β
Erlang Qin Yihao, who was riding a horse and following his aunt's carriage, was stared at by so many people that his lips trembled. He was secretly glad that he was riding on a horse and not on his legs, otherwise he would have fallen many times along the way.
You must know that the people who gave way to them on both sides were at least the carriages of the four-rank officials!
Qin Erlang straightened his waist, and Sister Xiao Nuan said that he wanted him to show the "momentum" of the Qin family, and he couldn't leave people in the capital......
"Madam, the two dark brown carriages in front of you belong to the Hejun Palace." Cui Qiao, who had been observing through the crack in the curtain, said in a low voice, "There are two carriages coming, and there should be Concubine Jing and Princess Junjun inside, and the two daughters-in-law of King He Jun have not come, I don't know if the unmarried little daughter of King He Jun has come." β
After entering Beijing, Cui Qiao inquired about the situation of Qingguo Gong and Hejun Wangfu related to them in Beijing through the people of the Qi family and the steward of the Nishang branch.
"Madam, Princess Yi's carriage is at the front, and the carriage behind her belongs to Princess Chang's family. Princess Yi should be waiting for you to enter the palace together. Cui Qiao said in a low voice.
The Qin family, who had been thinking about things, raised his spirits, and after the carriage stopped, he helped Erlang's men to get out of the carriage, and walked to the front of Princess Yi's carriage step by step to salute under the various eyes that came out of the head of a large group of carriages, "Courtier Qin, meet the princess." β
The curtain of the car was raised, and Princess Yi leaned out and said with a smile, "An Ren, please get up, yesterday the imperial grandmother specially explained, let me lead An Ren to Cining Palace together, the imperial grandmother has been thinking about the injury of the little warm girl." β
This sentence immediately caused a lot of shock in the convoy.
Qin said movingly, "Thank you Queen Mother, there is Princess Lao." β
Princess Yi got out of the car and asked in a worried whisper, "Is Xiao Nuan better?" Why didn't Xiaocao come with Anren? β
"Xiao Nuan can go to the ground, Xiaocao's rules haven't been learned yet, this is a big deal, and the courtiers are afraid that she will make a mistake." Qin said an excuse that had been prepared a long time ago.
The smile on Princess Yi's face kept stopping, but she said in her heart that she knew that the Queen Mother and the Queen liked Xiaocao so much, and the Qin family didn't take her, obviously because she didn't want the Queen Mother to notice Xiaocao.
It's a lot of fun.
can be found all over the capital, which family's wife doesn't want her daughter to be loved by the queen mother? If the Qin family takes Xiaocao, they will definitely be able to get more closeness to the Queen Mother tonight.
It is necessary to know which wife the Queen Mother will have a few words with tonight, and the next year will be enough for her to be beautiful, and her daughter can also be looked down upon by various families and get a good husband.
Looking at the Qin family, who told her nephew to wait for her to come out in the carriage, Princess Yi wondered in her heart, did the Qin family not know the benefits of her daughter being treated by the queen mother, or didn't she want to?
On the second carriage, Princess Chang, who was turned away from the palace gate, watched Princess Yi bring the Qin family inside, and her face was terrifyingly dark.
The journey from the palace gate to Cining Palace, the last time the Qin family came, they felt that it was really long, but this time, because they were steady, they felt that the journey from their house to the first village was almost the same. It's just that the people in the palace are small and walk slowly.
Contrary to Madame's thoughts, Cui Qiao, who attacked for the first time, felt that the road was extremely long and painful. Only when you walk in the palace do you know how breathless it is here. Cui Qiao tried hard to keep her legs from trembling, and kept thinking about the various situations that the girl told her and how to deal with them, today Mrs. only brought her and Sister-in-law Qi, she must be useful, even if it is useless, she can't embarrass the family!
The Empress Dowager and the Empress, who were gossiping, exchanged disappointed glances with each other when they saw the Qin family coming in alone.
Xiao Nuan was injured and couldn't get out, why didn't she bring Xiaocao in? They were counting on the kid to help him wash away the silence of the night.
The wives are looking forward to the summons of the Queen Mother, but this annual meeting is a boring and boring trouble in the Queen Mother's heart. But this is a rule set by Taizu, and it cannot be abandoned, she still has to hold on to a smile and rejoice.
After the Qin family saluted, the Queen Mother called out and asked kindly, "Xiao Nuan's injury is better?" β
