[Chapter 14: The Yang Family Has a Girl Growing Up] (2)
"No need, I'd like to be alone for a while."
Seeing that Li Longji was not interested, Concubine Wu Hui said no more. As soon as she walked out of the Nanxun Palace, the eunuch Niu Xiantong next to her came back and said:
"Concubine Hui, the little ladies have arrived, and they are waiting in the Jiaotai Palace at the moment."
"I heard that other little ladies arrived three or five days in advance, and they have been learning etiquette and rules in the palace, but only one came today?"
Niu Xiantong also felt that this little lady didn't know how to lift up at first, but after seeing it, she was convinced: "Concubine Hui is angry, it's long overdue, it makes sense." ”
Concubine Wu Hui was not really angry because of this little thing, and seeing that Niu Xiantong, who had always been above the top, could also give such an evaluation, her interest was aroused: "Let Xianyi also come to the Tai Palace." ”
Her daughter has inherited most of her wisdom, and her vision is also good, and since she is sensible, she has gradually become her little Zhuge .
"That'...... What about Shouwang? ”
Concubine Wu Hui glanced at Niu Xiantong lightly: "What do you say?" ”
It took her nearly three years to select her son-in-law and daughter-in-law, and she also selected five people, and then made a final decision after Xianyi's wedding was over.
It's a pity that King Shou is not the prince yet, and he can't be as upright as the prince choosing a concubine, but he can't look at each other so wronged in private, so the true meaning of this maidess, although she didn't say it explicitly, she didn't hide it. Just waiting for Xianyi's wedding, she will let King Shou take a look generously, not to choose a concubine is better than to choose a concubine.
She has been touched by King Ning since she was a child, quiet and polite, the most obedient and worry-free, and I don't know which one he likes the most among the five little ladies.
Because of the gloomy rainy day, the lights in the Jiaotai Hall were bright early.
There were a total of five little ladies of the official family standing in the hall, four of them were surrounded by their respective maids, standing together and smiling, only one stood on the inconspicuous side with his own maid, while carefully looking at everything in the hall, while whispering something to the maid.
"This rainy day is really annoying, no matter how much you pay attention, the little lady's skirt is still stained with some mud spots. I don't know if Concubine Hui will feel that the little lady is out of order in front of the palace, and she will be angry......"
"Will the nobles in the palace have such a big temper?" The little lady couldn't help but look down at the hem of her skirt, at most, she felt sorry for the money that Aya had spent, but she didn't feel anything else, she still maintained a decent smile on her face, and said, "They are also human beings, and they will be reasonable, Concubine Hui is the master of the harem, which is equivalent to the mother of the world, and her daughter's skirt is dirty, so she won't be like me." ”
Seeing what the maid was going to say, the little lady hurriedly said, "Look, their skirts are also stained." ”
The maid really looked at it seriously, and after a pause for less than half an hour, she hurriedly said, "Where did their skirts get wet?" The little lady likes to be blinded to me, if we don't give out an umbrella, I and the little girl have two umbrellas, how can we protect the little lady! ”
"Okay, well, it's all my fault...... You see that this palace is different, Xingqing Palace is already like this, think about the Taiji Palace and Daming Palace, I don't know how magnificent it is......"
"Does the little lady have anything else in mind?" The maid was not led by the little lady's nose this time, she leaned closer to her little lady and said, "Didn't you hear what they said?" ”
"I heard you, they're talking about King Shou."
"When Ah Lang first received the invitation from Concubine Hui, he felt strange, why did so many noble women in Chang'an come all the way to the East to invite our Yang daughter, would it be ......?"
"Could it be that on the surface, she is acting as a maidess, but in fact she is choosing a concubine for King Shou?"
"Yes, yes, little lady, doesn't she know everything?"
"Don't look at the four little ladies as Chang'an, they actually have a little bit of the spicy energy of our Shuzhong women, they are really confident and proud, and they don't give up, so I almost didn't say who Princess Shou would be withholding me, if I can't hear this, it's not stupid."
"No wonder Ah Lang said that the opportunity is rare, let the little lady behave well, this is a step to the sky, little lady......"
Before the maid finished speaking, she heard the hall sing: "Concubine Hui, Princess Xianyi!" ”
The little lady immediately winked at the maid and walked to the four little ladies with her chin bowed. After Concubine Wu Hui and Princess Xianyi went straight inside, and after they sat down, the four little ladies seemed to have made an appointment, and stood in two horizontal rows with their maids, and greeted Concubine Wu Hui and Princess Xianyi, and blocked the little lady from the eastern capital alive.
The maid couldn't help but be a little angry, but when she saw that her little lady only tilted her head and glanced at it, she still followed them with a smile, looking as heartless as at home. The maid couldn't help but close her eyes with a headache - can her little lady succeed?
Listening to Niu Xiantong's subtle man's voice, he began to introduce the little ladies in this hall one by one for Concubine Wu Hui and Princess Xianyi. Which one was introduced, which one stepped forward and saluted Concubine Wu Hui and Princess Xianyi, and then the two nobles asked a few words.
In order to prevent several little ladies from taking their father's official position too seriously, Niu Xiantong got the order of Concubine Wu Hui to introduce whoever he saw first. As he introduced, he felt strange how the little lady who arrived today was so tightly blocked, if he hadn't remembered it deeply, he might have forgotten it.
If the little lady is out of the crowd, if he really forgets, the little lady must be embarrassed to stand up and report to the family, so she can only suffer this dumb loss, and his master Wu Huifei found out about her afterwards, and she may not care much about it, at most she will be rewarded more, but the position of the princess of this longevity will be completely lost.
It's a pity, everyone has their own life, and it should be a phoenix, so it won't fall into the nest of the bird.
After the fourth introduction was finished, Concubine Wu Hui and Princess Xianyi also opened their mouths to greet each other, Niu Xiantong said skillfully as if he had practiced many times: "The eldest daughter of Yang Xuanjian, a scholar of Henan Mansion, has seen Concubine Hui and the princess. ”
There was a little more respect in his tone.
As soon as Concubine Wu Hui heard about her father's official position, she knew that this was the little lady who came from the Eastern Capital and only arrived today. She involuntarily faded a little lazily and lifted some spirits, but no one stepped forward for a long time. She and her daughter Xianyi glanced at each other, and just as they felt strange, they heard a sound like hitting jade, coming from behind the crowd:
"A few sisters are in the way, can you let me get out of the way?"
One sentence is very reasonable, but the tone is playful and coquettish, like the most favored young sister in his own family, so that no matter how envious and jealous people are, they can't get angry, and some even sigh helplessly, shake their heads and laugh and retreat aside.
And those who didn't retreat at first, seeing Concubine Wu Hui's gaze swept over lightly, they also immediately moved their legs, giving the one behind him a broad avenue to come out.
As if the curtain was lifted, the girl slowly stepped forward.
The gloomy clouds had just begun to dissipate, and now it was raining and the sky was clear. The sunset shines like a red peony, blooming, spreading the horizon into a field of flowers. The light was like a flame, piercing through the window screen, more than the light, illuminating the whole palace.
This palace was already magnificently built, and under such light, it was even more majestic. Even Princess Xianyi in Concubine Wu Hui's arms couldn't help but sit up straighter, but the girl still didn't realize it.
She was wearing an embroidered shirt with small light colored flowers, holding a shawl with a pale crimson treasure pattern, dragging a gauze skirt with goose-yellow entwined flowers that stretched down from her chest, and walked to Concubine Wu Hui step by step: "Wanfu Huifei, Wanfu Princess Xianyi." ”
At this time, it is not as good as the early Tang Dynasty, because of the prosperity of the world, the world is rich and slender for the beauty of women, such extremes are rare, but the girl in front of you can be just right; She seems to be demure and dignified, but in fact she is smart and bright, this measure is not something that everyone can handle well, but she is just right. Even the few mud spots on the hem of her skirt did not detract from her color, but added more life to her. Concubine Wu Hui stared at the girl's appearance, and immediately understood the reason for Niu Xiantong's surrender.
She is the unique pear blossom among the peonies, a fragrance that can still be intoxicating in the richness, she adds a touch of light to the dull palace that has never been before, and makes the cold palace warm.
Her existence overshadowed the other four girls no matter how beautiful they were, but it was not because of how beautiful her face was, but because of how different she was.
Princess Xianyi was also a little stunned, and her eyes finally fell on the girl's hair. On the single screw bun, the hair is black and bushy, and only a delicate oleander flower is embellished.
"The flowers on your head were picked outside the temple, right?" Princess Xianyi asked.
The girl replied, "Back to the princess, exactly." ”
"Interesting." Princess Xianyi said and smiled at her mother.
Concubine Wu Hui also bowed her head and said: "She is worthy of being the daughter of Hongnong Yang's family, and she has her own family legacy with her gestures." ”
"This is the work of my father, and the concubine thanks Concubine Hui for her father's appreciation."
Concubine Wu Hui nodded: "You can take a name, is there a small character?" ”
This is a question that the four little ladies have not asked when they stepped forward before.
Listening to Concubine Wu Hui's tone as kind as a mother, the girl smiled: "The concubine has never been named, only a small character, which is the jade of beautiful jade and the ring of wear." ”
“…… Yang Yuhuan? ”
The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
