Chapter 152: Entering the Palace
Early the next morning, the fourth master remembered to talk to Fujin about bringing Wanying into the palace, so he sent someone to the main courtyard to inform him.
Bright Moon Xuanli.
Wan Ying was also pulled up by the maid early to freshen up and change clothes.
"Gege, you can't be willful today. That's going to see the emperor, so he wears that set of gilded heads, which looks solemn. Luguo opened Wanying's jewelry box and put it in front of her.
"Okay. See the emperor, be more solemn. Wan Ying said, still apprehensive in her heart.
After combing her hair, Qingya picked out an orange-red flag suit, which was embroidered with the pattern of spring swallows returning to the nest, which was very eye-catching.
"Isn't it a little more public?" Wan Ying glanced at the clothes, and then looked at the gilded head on her head, it was really gorgeous.
"Gege is going to see the emperor today. is more luxurious and graceful, so that the emperor has a good impression of Gege. Chunhua also said.
It turned out that Wan Ying told them that it was Kangxi who summoned her to the palace today.
A few maids had already heard from Wan Ying's mouth about the smoky fire she used for the fourth master to fire off the enemy, and they also saw the jade pendant given by Kangxi.
That reason, the fourth master said that it should not be publicized to the public, after all, it sounds a little reverie!
"Gege, do you want to wear the jade pendant given by the emperor? After all, it was given by the emperor, if you wear it, the emperor will see it, and he will be very happy. "Green Fruit Road.
Wan Ying thought about the reason why the fourth master talked about Kangxi wanting to see her, so she nodded and said, "Then put it on." ”
When she stopped dressing up, the fourth master had already sent someone to pick her up.
The carriage that entered the palace had been parked at the gate of the Four Belle Mansions, and it was a carriage regulated by the Lord Baylor, which was extremely spacious.
The fourth master saw Wan Ying coming over, looked at her for a few seconds, and then said, "Get in the car." ”
Wan Ying was secretly happy in her heart, the corners of her mouth bent involuntarily, and when she saw that the fourth master stretched out her hand to help her, she pulled out of Chunhua's hand and took the fourth master's hand.
After the fourth master helped Wan Ying up, he also followed the carriage and horse.
Chunhua and Su Peisheng also sat on the wheel of the carriage under the service of the little maid.
The capital was obviously silent early in the morning.
Wan Ying knew that the fourth master entered the palace so early every day to run errands, thinking about it, it was like the office workers in later generations, nine in the morning and five in the evening.
No, it should be harder than them!
The fourth master gets up at about half past four on weekdays, freshens up and changes clothes, and then eats breakfast, and enters the palace before half past seven.
There is no time to return home on time at night, and sometimes I just rest in the palace.
"What are you thinking?" The fourth master saw that Xiao Gege did not speak, and asked.
"The concubine thinks that Lord Belle is working hard every day. As a prince, you have to worry about a lot of things every day, and you really can't be idle for a moment. Wan Ying honestly said what was in her heart.
She is actually sympathizing with the fourth master!
The fourth master also heard the pity in her words, and he was unspeakably obedient in his heart.
If it was given to someone else, he might feel that it was disrespectful to himself, but when it came out of Wan Ying's mouth, he felt that it was her true words, not flattering and deliberate.
Unconsciously, the fourth master already has a kind of recognition and trust for Wan Ying that is different from others.
A pair of hands came up from Wan Yingsheng and grabbed her shoulders. Immediately afterwards, a force pressed her into the arms of the fourth master.
"After entering the palace later, the master will send you to Eniang to say goodbye. Huang Ama has to go to the court in the morning, and when he goes down, he will have time to summon you to meet. The fourth master said.
Wan Ying nodded, and said, "Then the concubine will go to Concubine De to say goodbye first." ”
"E-Niang treats people well, you will behave properly, and she will not embarrass you." The fourth master spoke softly.
"Master, if Concubine De asks about the concubine, why did the emperor summon the concubine into the palace? What should a concubine say? Wan Ying said.
The fourth master was actually thinking about this question just now, he knew that this was a problem that could not be avoided, but he didn't think about it all the way.
Wan Ying saw that the fourth master was silent, knowing that he was also embarrassed.
Kangxi said that she was summoned to the palace to be nostalgic for an old man, and it was obvious that this old man was a woman.
This kind of thing sounds unbelievable, and you can't tell outsiders about it.
"Just say that the emperor summoned you in, but the reason can't be said. This is the meaning of Huang Amma. The fourth master thought for a long time, and finally said.
Wan Ying also thought about it for a long time, but couldn't find a suitable reason, and when she saw the fourth master say this, she nodded.
"Lord Belle, does Fu Jin know that the concubine has entered the palace with the master today?" Wan Ying asked.
In fact, she was a little worried, after all, the reason for entering the palace could only be hidden. If it spreads, all kinds of gossip will be unbearable.
"Don't worry, the master has informed her, and you must not tell the outside world about you and my entry into the palace." The fourth master said.
Wan Ying felt a little relieved.
The carriage headed all the way to the Forbidden City, and finally arrived at the gate in the morning.
I saw the eaves of the sky and the white jade railings everywhere, which was unusually grand and solemn.
Wan Ying was supported by Chunhua, followed behind the fourth master, and walked into the city.
The eaves of the palace in the sky, as well as the red palace wall that can not see the end, the white jade railing carved with the dragon's head and the Dan Majesty all show that this is the imperial city belonging to the Son of Heaven.
The fourth master first sent Wanying's master and servant to the gate of Yonghe Palace.
Concubine De also gets up early on weekdays, and this matter is in the Buddhist hall.
The fourth master and Wan Ying were sitting in the side hall waiting, but Wan Ying was secretly inspecting the decorations of Concubine De's main hall.
In fact, in later generations, Wan Ying never entered the Forbidden City with her grandfather once or twice to see the feng shui layout of this ancient imperial city.
Therefore, she is no stranger to this place, but the Yonghe Palace at this time is different from what she saw in the later life.
The fourth master only thought that she was afraid, so he said: "Although Eniang is the mother of the first palace, her status at the beginning is not high. ”
Wan Ying knew that the fourth master was comforting herself, so she said, "Master, the concubine is not afraid. Actually, you don't have to be here with you, so let's go to the front of the dynasty on an errand. The concubine is waiting here for Concubine De. ”
The fourth master felt comfortable, he really couldn't wait here for a long time. He didn't leave just now, and he also wanted to say a few words to Concubine De first, similar to taking care of Wan Ying.
"Master, let's go. If it's because of the concubine, it's not good. Wan Ying said.
The fourth master looked at the time on the quartz clock, and he really couldn't wait any longer. He explained a few words to the palace maid who was waiting next to a concubine in Yonghe Palace before leaving.
As soon as the fourth master left, a palace maid went to the small Buddha hall to report to Concubine De, it turned out that she just deliberately didn't come out, just to see what the fourth master would do.
"Hongu knows." Concubine De raised her hand wearing enamel armor and waved at the palace maid behind her.
"Niangniang, it seems that this Dong family is not shallow-eyed. Quite sensible. "A grandmother-like palace man kneeling beside Concubine De. Baidu: Read the latest chapter of "The Daily Literature of the Four Masters and Concubines" for free for the first time.
