Chapter 32 The beginning is the time of new blessings
Every day, the concubines in the palace need to go to Fengluan Palace to greet the queen. Today, Liu Yuanzhi got up early to make up, and the first time she asked Enke, she couldn't be late, and it would be bad to give someone a handle.
Liu Yuanzhi was wearing a stone blue satin embroidered with a light color hundred butterfly pattern Shixin palace dress, combed a bun to the sky, a pair of white jade jade butterfly play double flower gilt hairpins on the hairpin, a jasper Tenghua Huasheng on the back hairpin, and wore simple glass earrings in the ear. is not too public, but also does not lose identity, and dresses up in a decent manner. Liu Yuanzhi was very satisfied with the combination of her body, she cast an appreciative look at Zi Mo, and smiled at Han Yue, who was picking out clothes for herself, and got up and walked out. The cold moon served, and Zi Mo stayed in the palace.
When I arrived at the Fengyi Hall of Fengluan Palace, I was led in by a palace maid. There were already many low-ranking concubines in the hall, and after waiting for a cup of tea, the concubines arrived one after another, and sat down on the seats according to their ranks.
The queen wearing a phoenix crown and an orange red danfeng Chaoyang brocade dress was extremely graceful and magnificent, she walked slowly forward and sat on the throne surrounded by palace maids.
Everyone knelt down to say goodbye, and said in unison, "The queen is extremely happy." β
"Get up." The queen smiled and said kindly.
"Xie Niangniang." The crowd got up and sat back in their seats.
Then, Yumo, the palace maid beside the queen, led the new concubines to see the queen, Liu Yuanzhi and others bowed to the queen one by one, and received some beads and hairpins from the queen. After thanking him, Yumo continued to lead everyone to see the concubines in the palace.
The first person to sit on the queen's left hand is Concubine Mu De, Concubine Mu De is an old man in the palace, and gave birth to the first child for the current emperor - the eldest princess Nangong Luo, plus she has always been kind to people, so she is respected by everyone. Xu is Concubine Mu De has been worshiping the Buddha for a long time, she is wearing a crow blue Tuanfu Ruyi pattern palace dress, wearing a string of jade Buddha beads, and the whole person looks very kind.
The first person to sit on the queen's right hand was Concubine Ning Xian, that is, Nangong Heng's adoptive mother. Concubine Ning Xian wore a fragrant concubine-colored scattered brocade dress, which looked dignified and generous, elegant and noble. It's just that Han Yue thought about what Nangong Heng said, and only felt that under these beautiful faces, behind the warm smiles, there was a very terrible viciousness and cruelty, which made people lose their lives if they were not careful.
Sitting next to Concubine Ning Xian is Concubine Yan Shu, who is dressed in a gorgeous manner, although this Concubine Yan Shu is nearly thirty years old and the mother of two children, she still seems to be in her twenties, so she has been a favored harem for many years, and she is deeply favored by Longen. Concubine Yan Shu was originally a neighbor of Da Yue - the second princess of Liang Kingdom, but Liang Country is a small country on the side, in order to seek the protection of Da Yue, Emperor Yu Wenyi of Liang State reluctantly sent his most beautiful daughter Second Princess to come to peace and establish diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Then I met Jin Zhaoyuan, Shen Zhaoyi, Liang Xiuyuan, Li Chongrong, Hu Jieyu, Liu Jieyu, Cao Meiren, Li Cairen and other concubines. Please settle down after a circle, Liu Yuanzhi only felt a sore waist and legs, and she couldn't help but say in her heart, this salute is also a manual work. Seeing this, Han Yue hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu Yuanzhi sit down.
"Sisters, since you have entered the palace, you must remember your identity as a concubine, abide by the palace rules, abide by women's morality, and strive to open up branches and leaves for the royal family as soon as possible, and extend the heirs." The queen instructed.
"The concubine obeys the teachings of the mother." The crowd replied.
The queen looked at the obedient appearance of the concubines and nodded with great satisfaction.
"Queen Mother, the concubine is a little unwell today, so please retire first." All the concubines sat peacefully, but Concubine Yan Shufei suddenly stood up and spoke.
The queen was not displeased when she heard this, she still had a gentle face, and said very caringly, "In that case, Concubine Yanshu, you should step back first and go back to rest." β
"Xie Niangniang." Concubine Yan Shufei bowed slightly, saluted, and left gracefully.
The new people in the palace looked a little embarrassed for a while, but when they saw that the other concubines were all accustomed to it, they didn't show anything, and then they accompanied the queen to gossip about their son, and then dispersed.
According to the rules, the new concubines who entered the palace should also go to see the Queen Mother, but now the Queen Mother is old, and her physical condition is not as good as before.
That night, the emperor turned over Sun Yuwei's sign. On the afternoon of the second day, Jin Sun Yuwei issued a holy decree for Baolin to the Six Palaces.
In the Linhua Hall of the Hook Yi Palace, there is silence, only the sound of the water dripping from the copper kettle, quiet and far-reaching. The curling green smoke slowly rises from the blue cloisonnΓ© gold enamel painted begonia incense burner, and the faint sandalwood fragrance spreads.
The palace maids in pink dresses and the chamberlains in navy blue clothes stood with their heads bowed and their eyes down, like statues. The hall was so quiet that you could hear the sound of a needle falling on the ground.
Liu Yuanzhi was holding a book in her hand at the moment, but she didn't even read a word. According to the rules, it will be her turn to sleep today. She couldn't help but feel a little scared and anxious in her heart, "Yue'er." She called softly.
Hanyue looked at Liu Yuanzhi and asked, "Little Lord, what's wrong?" β
Liu Yuanzhi glanced at the chamberlain and palace maid standing on the side, and then said to Han Yue, "I thought I was ready for this day, but when it really came to this moment, I realized the fear in my heart. It turns out that this world is one thing to say, and another thing to do. β
Han Yue understood Liu Yuanzhi's mood at the moment, just like before she got married, worried about her husband who had never met before, and even more for the uncertain future. She bent down, stretched out her hand to hold Liu Yuanzhi's hand and said, "Little master don't need to be too nervous, the slave maid heard that the emperor is quite handsome and elegant, and he is a person who pities fragrance and cherishes jade." Liu Yuanzhi looked at Han Yue's determined eyes, and the warmth from her hand also calmed her heart a lot.
The conversation between the two was interrupted by a voice, "Little master, Gonggong Li from the Court Bureau has come to announce the decree." The little palace maid Bai Wei hurriedly ran in to report. Liu Yuanzhi and Han Yue were shocked when they heard this, Liu Yuanzhi hurriedly got up and tidied up her dress, and took Han Yue to the main hall.
Gonggong Li's voice was sharp but steady, and he said, "The emperor has a decree, and today Xuanliu will be the maid to sleep." Lady Liu, hurry up and get ready. β
After Gonggong Li finished announcing his decree, Hanyue took a few ingots of silver to Gonggong Li, but Gonggong Li shirked and refused to take it.
Seeing this, Liu Yuanzhi stepped forward with a smile and said, "I'm tired of my father-in-law for a trip, and I ask my father-in-law not to excuse himself with a little thought, but to invite my father-in-law to have a cup of tea." When Gonggong Li heard this, he accepted it, and went back to his life with a smile on his face.
Turning around, there was no smile on Liu Yuanzhi's face, and there was a faint sadness between her eyebrows. Han Yue looked at Liu Yuanzhi's appearance, and she wanted to speak again, she knew that just her words could not completely dispel the uneasiness in Liu Yuanzhi's heart, but there was no other way but to look at Liu Yuanzhi's own.
"Little master, this is an incense pill, it can have the effect of fragrant all over the body after taking it." Han Yue took a small white porcelain vase in Zi Mo's hand and handed it to Liu Yuanzhi. Today's emperor loves this kind of quiet fragrance, and Nangong Heng ordered Ye Ziling to prepare this incense pill in order to make her more sacred. Liu Yuanzhi took the bottle and held it tightly in her palm, she stared at the bottle and was silent for a long time. Hanyue didn't bother her, just quietly accompanied her.
Leakage of the initial quiet, lack of moon hanging dredging. Luan Feng Che was already waiting in front of the palace gate of Hook Yi Palace, Liu Yuanzhi got into Luan Feng Car with the support of Han Yue, and Han Yue walked with the car next to the car.
Liu Yuanzhi sat in the car, listening to the sound of the car rolling on the stone road, her heart was very nervous, and the palms of her hands were slightly sweating. The waiter shouted, and Liu Yuanzhi woke up as if in a dream, only to realize that she had arrived at the Chengming Palace.
The huge Chengming Palace, the ground is covered with glazed gold bricks, the wall is decorated with golden dragons and seal paintings, the four gilded nine citle incense burners in the hall are slowly spitting out light smoke, and the air is filled with a faint and slightly bitter ambergris aroma. The candlestick of the crane cloud tree was lit with sporadic candles, and the entire hall was dimly lit, and the faint candlelight reflected on the ground looked a little blurry. Layers of azure shark yarn curtains hang low, the curtain is deep, the breeze blows, the light shark yarn flutters with the wind, elegant like smoke, hazy like fog, as if falling into a beautiful dream.
Han Yue accompanied Liu Yuanzhi step by step towards the inside, and after reaching the outermost layer of the inner hall, the maid could not move forward any further. Hanyue had to stop, Liu Yuanzhi stopped and looked at Hanyue, Hanyue's eyes were burning, and she threw an encouraging look at her, Liu Yuanzhi hesitated for a while, and then resolutely turned around and continued to walk inside, every step she took, her heart was nervous. Unexpectedly, the emperor was standing by the window with his hand and watching, she hurriedly saluted, "The concubine sees the emperor." β
When the emperor saw that it was Liu Yuanzhi coming, he smiled and personally helped her up, "No need to be polite." I remember, your name is Liu Yuanzhi? β
"Yes." Liu Yuanzhi replied softly.
"What does that name mean?" The emperor asked as he held Liu Yuanzhi's skinny, weak and boneless soft twing.
"Yuan has Zhixi, Li has Lan, Si Gongzi has not dared to speak." Liu Yuanzhi always lowered her head, she didn't dare to look at the emperor, but this expression fell in the eyes of the emperor, but she became a woman's shyness.
Qu Lingjun's "Nine Songs, Mrs. Xiang". What a thinking boy, I didn't dare to speak. The emperor looked at Liu Yuanzhi and said. Liu Yuanzhi is already beautiful and moving, but at the moment she is looking red and delicate, which makes people feel ape. The breeze blew, and the faint fragrance on Liu Yuanzhi's body swept the tip of the emperor's nose with the breeze, and the emperor was suddenly in a good mood, and he suddenly picked up Liu Yuanzhi and walked towards the bed. Liu Yuanzhi didn't expect this, and let out a surprise in surprise, instinctively wrapping her hand around the emperor's neck.
Liu Yuanzhi, who was held by the emperor, couldn't help but tremble, and her skin that had been caressed by the emperor's big palm was like a numb millet. Seeing that the emperor's kiss was about to fall, Liu Yuanzhi couldn't help but resist slightly, she unconsciously tilted her head, this move made the emperor stunned, and Liu Yuanzhi was also stunned. A chill crossed her heart, and she felt her gaffe, and hurriedly pretended to be shy and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine, the concubine is a little nervous. β
The beauty is in her arms, her eyes are like silk, delicate, and the soft and glutinous voice gently brushes her ears, the emperor's heart has long been tickled, where is there any more thought, "Zhi'er, don't be afraid, I will treat you gently." β
The emperor's kiss fell delicately and densely on Liu Yuanzhi's white jade-like neck, Liu Yuanzhi only felt that she could not do anything about it, she closed her eyes tightly, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her hands tightly clutched the brocade quilt under her, which looked extremely difficult every minute and second.
The sea beast pattern copper bell hanging on the corner of the bed suddenly "ding" sounded, and Liu Yuanzhi's mind suddenly cleared up a lot. What are you doing? Have you forgotten why you entered the palace? She smiled bitterly without a trace, took a deep breath, and when she slowly opened her eyes, her face was already replaced by an extremely charming smile.
The sound of dripping, the candle on the candlestick has burned more than half, and the candle oil drip down the candle, like the tears of a beauty, and the pearls in the sea.
Han Yue has been silently guarding outside the hall, at this time, she glanced in the direction of the hall, and the candle shadows in the hall were silent. Han Yue turned her head to look out the window, and her heart hanging for Liu Yuanzhi could also be put down.
Outside the carved wooden lattice window of Sanjiao Liuling flower, the galaxy is colorful, and the cold and faint moonlight is sprinkled from the nine days away, reflecting on the ground silver and white, such as frost and snow, like ice and fog. Cold Moon stared at the starry sky, her gaze seemed to see far, far away, the end of the sky, the edge of the sea, but no matter how far away, it was an untouchable dream after all.
