Led by Emperor Tong Jia's concubine, everyone rushed in. When he entered, Xiaozhuang was dressed in the formal clothes of the Empress Dowager and sat on the throne of the main hall. Xiaozhuang is over seventy years old at this time, and his face is full of wrinkles, which is the mark of the years left by the two dynasties and the emperors of the two generations.

Next to her stood an old lady of a similar age but with an extraordinary bearing, with a kind face, presumably the famous Aunt Su Mala.

Although Wanru was low and in the back, she still saw Xiaozhuang and Su Ma Lagu in front of her clearly at the moment when she got up and looked up after bowing.

Looking at the filial piety that is still dignified and majestic, people dare not look at it directly, but the old man is dying, and he is like a mixture of tastes in his heart.

As a politician, Hyozhuang is undoubtedly successful. But as a woman, her husband didn't love her, she was widowed in her thirties, and she finally brought up her young son Shunzhi, who was dependent on each other, but her son had a gap with her biological mother for the sake of a Dong E's family and a woman, and he died young.

Her husband and son have all gone one after another, as an ancient woman in the deep palace, what else does she have?

Moreover, after Wu Zetian, all dynasties and dynasties were very taboo about ** interference, especially Cheng Zhu Lixue, who was made by Zhu Xi in the Ming Dynasty, completely bound women to the back house, and their happiness could only rely on their husbands and sons. In such a background of the times, even if Xiaozhuang holds great power, he cannot live as wanton as Wu Zetian.

What is such a life for?

Wanru doesn't know what Xiaozhuang values most, if it is power, then she should be happy. If it is Daqing, she will work hard for Daqing, then she is also happy. But if it is a husband and a filial piety that ordinary women value, then she is pitiful. However, such a noble, strong and proud woman doesn't need the sympathy of others...

Wanru habitually began to think about it again, and she didn't come back to her senses until she left Cining Palace, and she didn't hear a word of Xiaozhuang's words.

Out of Cining Palace, the group went to the Empress Dowager's Ciren Palace. The Empress Dowager is also from Horqin and is Xiaozhuang's niece, only thirteen years older than Kangxi, and is Kangxi's mother-in-law.

She is the same as her aunt Xiaozhuang, she is not favored by her husband, and she has no children in her life, so she can only hold Kangxi's fifth elder brother and raise it by her side, when Xiaozhuang is alive, she is basically a transparent one, after Xiaozhuang goes, she becomes the most noble woman in the Qing Dynasty, and enjoys the wealth of the world for thirty years, until Kangxi died in the fifty-sixth year, and she is also a lonely woman who enjoys the wealth and prosperity of the world but is trapped in the deep palace all her life.

Everyone bowed to the Queen Mother as if they were in Cining Palace, and then under the leadership of the Queen Mother, they went to the Baohe Palace. Because Hyozhuang is not feeling well, he will not attend the banquet today.

According to the practice of the Qing Dynasty, on the day of the celebration, the royal family should hold a grand state banquet in the Taihe Palace, and the whole world celebrates together, but the Kangxi Dynasty is an exception, and the place where the state banquet is held in the Kangxi Dynasty is the Baohe Hall behind the Taihe Palace.

According to historians, this may be because the Taihe Hall was the place where the Shunzhi Emperor mourned, so Kangxi avoided the Taihe Hall and chose the Baohe Palace. The Baohe Hall also became the place where the emperor held a state banquet during the Kangxi period, and invited the princes, nobles and civil and military ministers.

When he arrived at the Baohe Palace, Kangxi led the ministers to greet the Queen Mother, and after saying goodbye, Kangxi personally supported the Queen Mother to sit on the throne of the Queen Mother, and then returned to the dragon chair and let the princes, nobles, civil and military ministers sit down.

Kangxi said as usual the opening remarks of the new year and the new beginning, and the princes and ministers expressed their determination to work hard under the leadership of the emperor for a better tomorrow in the new year. The monarch and the minister are of the same heart, and the future of the Qing Dynasty will be better. Kangxi was satisfied, the minister was happy, and then the banquet began.

There are a total of 240 tables of banquets, and the dishes are sumptuous, but unfortunately it is almost cold in the time when Kangxi and the minister confess to each other, everyone is holding chopsticks and looking at the pleasing taste of eating a few bites to meet the situation, the men are drinking to get closer, and the women are listening to the news in the gossip of the east and west, and also pulling the relationship.

Wanru followed Jue Luo to sit in the pile of women, straightened up, sat quietly by Jue Luo's side and listened to the surrounding gossip, when someone praised him, he pursed his lips slightly and blushed moderately, and looked shyly.

Wanru is the first time to participate in this kind of state banquet that she has only seen on TV, after all, she will feel fresh and curious.

Just when Wanru was entertaining herself and watching and listening to the busy, a little palace maid came over and said that the imperial concubine wanted to see her.

One sentence stirred up a thousand waves, and all the women sitting around looked at Wanru, and envy and jealousy flashed in their eyes, after all, Concubine Tong Jia was Kangxi's cousin and the most favored concubine in the palace. This Ulanala Wanru is not only not good-looking, but also not smart, and she can't see anything outstanding all over her body, why did the imperial concubine just call her one, she has that point comparable to her daughter? One by one, the women thought so in their hearts.

Not only these gossip women, Wanru is also very strange, she and the imperial concubine met for the first time today, and she didn't show any difference when she was greeted in Cining Palace just now, what is the matter with her at this time?

Although Jue Luo was also surprised, he still told Wanru to behave well and not to offend the imperial concubine Niangniang, and thanked the little palace maid. After all, for these women, even a little palace maid in the palace can't be offended, who makes the family the side of the imperial concubine.

Wanru gave Jue Luo's reassuring look, then stood up and followed the little palace maid to the position of the imperial concubine unhurriedly, as for the eyes of others, I'm sorry, Wanru can't see it if she doesn't care or care.

Walking to the imperial concubine's table, the little palace maid replied softly: "Niangniang, Wanru Gege is here." ”

Wanru went up and walked to salute: "The slave Wulanala Wanru will say hello to the imperial concubine." The voice carried the childishness unique to her age, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Get up" Tong Jiashi said, his voice was as crisp as a yellow bird, and he couldn't hear joy or anger.

"Xie Huang Guifei Niangniang" got up gracefully, standing in front of the imperial concubine's table in a regular and standard posture, her eyes drooping.

Tong Jiashi put down the wine glass in his hand, turned sideways slightly in the direction where Wanru was standing, and said, "Come over and let me take a good look."

Wanru obediently took two steps forward, raised her head, and her gaze was still down, but she still felt the inexplicable gaze of Tong Jiashi falling on her.

Is it that Tong Jia's family had a good impression of the Wulanala clan in history, or is the imperial concubine in front of him also wearing it? Wanru thought about it in her heart.

After a long time, Tong Jiashi withdrew the gaze that fell on Wanru, reached out and grabbed Wanru's left hand hanging by his side, just touched Wanru's small hand, Tong Jiashi looked at Wanru's gaze meaninglessly.

The small hands in the hands are too soft, and the body must be softer. Although it is one thing in mind, it is another thing that blurts out something that has nothing to do with it

"How old are you this year?"

"Back to Niangniang, the slave was born in the eighteenth year, and she is seven years old this year."

"What do you do on weekdays, have you ever read a book?"

"I have read some books, and the slave maid follows the master to read and practice calligraphy in the morning on weekdays, and learns female red with the grandmother in the afternoon."

"It's very busy, and the arrangement is quite compact," Tong Jiashi said with a smile. "Is there a connection to the cavalry?"

Hearing Tong Jia's question, Wanru's brain was running at high speed, how to answer this question? Whether to tell the truth or say something else, I didn't have time to think about it, Wanru intuitively thought that it was better to tell the truth, so she briefly said about the first day of her practice of riding and archery, Tong Jiashi listened to it, and opened his mouth in surprise

"Oh? Can you hit every shot? ”

"The slave doesn't know what's going on, and the slave and maid think it's incredible when I think about it that afternoon, but since then, when the slave and maid shoot arrows again, the performance is just average."

"The first time I hit every shot, even if I can't reach that level now, it must not be bad. But you're never heard of in this situation, and it's funny. If you have the chance, I'd like to take a good look at your riding shots. ”

"The imperial concubine has praised it falsely, I only hope that the performance of the slave and maid will not disappoint you too much"

"Well, this palace looks at you as a stable one, and even if we are fated, this bracelet will reward you" said that he took a green bracelet from his left wrist, and he knew that it was very valuable by looking at the appearance, and handed it to Wanru by the palace maid beside him.

Although Wanru felt that Tong Jia's sentence "We are destined" was inexplicable, she still took it with both hands respectfully: "Xie Huang Guifei Niangniang reward"

The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. He has always been harmless in the world, and he will not let himself be sad when he crosses the great god.

"Okay, you can go back, but if you have time in the future, the palace will summon you to the palace to play for a few days. You have to be mentally prepared first," he said, turning around and no longer looking at Wanru.

Wanru saluted Tong Jia's again: "Emperor Xie Guifei Niangniang carries love, and the slave and maid retire." ”

Until she returned to Jue Luo's side, Wanru still felt dizzy. What does Tong Jiashi mean by this, not only said the word "fate", rewarded himself with a bracelet, but also said that he would call himself into the palace to play in the future!

Play, play what? She is a royal concubine who is favored by Kangxi, not a queen but a deputy queen, in charge of the affairs of the six palaces. I am a little girl under the age of seven, and the difference in identity and age between the two is so big, what is there to play?

And "fate", Wanru pondered these two words carefully, is it really as written in the Qing wear text that I saw before: Qing wear women will inevitably have something to do with Sisi, wear early, is Sisi's mother, wear late, is Sisi's daughter-in-law. Could it be that this Concubine Tong Jia is not only wearing it, but also seeing that she is also wearing it?
