On this day, dinner was eaten by the whole family. First, because Nan Marsh was officially promoted to the right attendant of the Inspectorate, and secondly, Nan Lingxuan was awarded the title of "Shangyuan Fairy". Nanshen, the king of Zhennan, also brought back the news that the Holy Lord allowed the canonization of Concubine Jiang Shu as a side concubine, and now except for Nanling Mei, the people in the whole mansion were very happy.

"Mother, the saint also said today that the son only needs to go to the south in June in the future, and he doesn't have to be stationed all year round as before." King Zhennan said again.

Mrs. Jiang's face changed slightly, and her expression flashed so that people couldn't see it, and said with a smile: "That's fine, you are also old, more in Beijing, and less worry about the concubine." Nan Lingmo saw the expression on Mrs. Jiang's face flashing, and couldn't help but think about it.

Mrs. Jiang continued: "By the way, today Mo'er told me that she wanted to go to the women's academy, and the old man thought that Yunlu Academy would open in a few days. Xiang'er is now inconvenient in her legs, Mei'er got married after a year and a half, and then go to school in the academy, it is not appropriate to go to school while preparing for marriage, and Qing'er is only ten years old, a little younger, it is better to start a family in the house, and then choose a few young girls from the family who are not yet old to be a companion to the girls. Second daughter-in-law, you are also from a family, why don't you do this matter! Zhao nodded in response.

Nanling Mei's face turned white, and she stood up and replied: "Grandmother, Mei'er still has a year and a half to get married, can you let Mei'er finish this half a year and prepare for marriage after autumn?" ”

The old princess pondered for a moment and said: "That's it, the first half of this year's bundle was also paid to you before the year, so you can go!" Your third sister now has the name of 'Shangyuan Fairy', as long as you prepare a post to sign up. When the academy opens, you have to take care of your third sister. Shen'er Nu'er, Mao'er Mo'er, you will write a letter tonight, and let the long history of the palace be sent to the academy tomorrow! ”

"Yes. The son understands," the two brothers said in unison.

The old princess said to Nanling Mo and Nanling Mao: "Mo'er, Mao'er, but anyone who wants to enter Yunlu Academy has to take the entrance exam, and the day of the exam is a week after the start of school, that is, on the eighth day of the second month. There are still about 20 days, you have to prepare well, if you fail the list, you can only go to home school. ”

Two days later, the day for Nanling Xuan to enter the palace to thank him has arrived.

In the past two days, the Zhao family secretly gave a lot of benefits to the grandmother, and taught Nan Lingxuan the general preferences of the nobles in the palace, intentionally or unintentionally. Early this morning, Nan Lingxuan got up early, freshened up, and recalled the rules of the two days of teaching Mama in her mind.

Zhao went to her room early in the morning and chose clothes and a face for her to enter the palace. I chose a lake blue water pattern embroidered lotus long skirt with a light blue waistband, which looks fresh and elegant. There is no other choice for hair accessories, except for a hairpin that symbolizes the fairy of Shangyuan, which is earrings and accessories of the same color of clothes.

Zhao nodded, looking at the well-dressed daughter in the mirror with great satisfaction. She also put the gold leaves and golden buns that rewarded the people in the palace into various small purses so that she could reward people. He repeated the various rules several times, and Nan Lingxuan was dizzy when she listened.

When she was about to collapse, the little girl said, "Madam, third miss, the carriage from the palace to pick up the third miss has arrived." Nan Lingxuan instantly breathed a sigh of relief, stabilized her expression, and said, "I know, I'll come right away." The Zhao family asked the big girl next to her, Suzulan, to accompany her into the palace.

Soon arrived at Qing'an/Gate. Because it was to thank her, Nan Lingxuan got out of the car and saw two old grandmothers waiting at the palace gate.

"It's Miss Nansan, right? Your Majesty has ordered the old slave to wait for you here early in the morning and lead you to the Imperial Garden. One of the grandmothers said with a smile on her face. Nan Lingxuan hurriedly stuffed the purse in her hand to her, and Mama smiled even happier.

Soon the two grandmothers led people to the Imperial Garden. The little palace maid waiting at the door greeted her and said, "There are two grandmothers, and the queen mother ordered the slave maid to lead Miss Nansan in here." ”

Nan Lingxuan wondered in her heart, how could she see the Queen Mother? So she told a purse containing a golden bun and secretly handed it to the little palace maid, and asked quietly: "This sister, this is the first time I have entered the palace alone, and I am afraid that I will do something wrong and inappropriately collide with the nobles in the palace." I wonder who are the nobles in the Imperial Garden? ”

The little palace maid whispered as she walked: "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are here!" ”

Nan Lingxuan walked into the imperial garden and saw two people sitting upright in the pavilion. The little palace maid saluted and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, Miss Nansan has arrived." ”

Nan Lingxuan followed behind her and gave a formal greeting first: "The courtier Nan Lingxuan greets His Majesty and the Queen Mother, and Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are blessed with Jin'an." Then Nan Lingxuan bowed again: "The courtier Nan Lingxuan was ordered to enter the palace to thank you, thank Your Majesty Longen." ”

Yun Tianfeng and Empress Dowager Chen glanced at each other, and Empress Dowager Chen said, "No courtesy, Miss Nansan, please get up." After hearing this, Nan Lingxuan stood up, and stood there without saying a word.

The Queen Mother nodded secretly after seeing this, admiring this girl's extraordinary bearing, and said: "The mourning family heard from the emperor that the third lady of the Nan family won the crown of 'Shangyuan Fairy' at the age of cardamom, so I want to see you." ”

"Back to Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, the courtiers just got the title of 'Shangyuan Fairy' by luck, and it is not worth mentioning." Nan Lingxuan replied respectfully. When the Queen Mother heard this, her first reaction was that the child in front of her was a little too humble, and she suddenly felt a little unhappy.

Seeing this, Yun Tianfeng said, "Oh? On that day, I finished watching the game, and left after the poetry meeting. Miss Nan San said the word 'fluke', is it too modest? ”

Nan Lingxuan knew that His Majesty hated deception the most, and the Queen Mother hated pride the most. So he said half-bently: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the courtier's final chess skills to win Zhou Gongzi are just because of the ingenuity of rapid chess, in terms of chess skills, Zhou Gongzi is really better than the courtiers." The courtier's daughter has now won the title of 'Shangyuan Fairy', which is really a fluke. ”

Yun Tianfeng and the Queen Mother suddenly realized after hearing this, and the Queen Mother smiled and said: "Hahaha, this girl is really quick and smart!." The mourning family looks at this 'Shangyuan fairy' is none other than you, what do you think, emperor? Yun Tianfeng also smiled and nodded yes.

"Miss Xuan stepped forward to let the mourning family take a look." The Queen Mother said with a smile. Nan Lingxuan stepped forward and stopped three steps away from the Queen Mother, according to the words, raised her head and lowered her eyes, the Queen Mother held her hand and said to the emperor: "It looks like she is still young, and she will be a great beauty after two years." Yun Tianfeng also smiled, saying that he still had something to do in the previous dynasty, so he retired first.

Empress Dowager Chen seems to like Nan Lingxuan very much, and after the emperor left, she took Nan Lingxuan's hand and chatted for a long time. Empress Dowager Chen seemed to really like Nan Lingxuan, and instructed the grandmothers around her to reward her with a lot of things.

"Okay, the mourning family is tired, so I went back to the palace to rest. Come on, send Miss Nansan out of the palace. ”

Before Nan Lingxuan left the palace, she also gave her a waist card that could enter the palace at any time, so that she could enter the palace at any time to talk to the queen mother to relieve her boredom.

Soon arrived at the gate of the palace, Nan Lingxuan stuffed a small purse into the hand of the little palace maid who sent her out of the palace, and said with a smile: "Sister hard to take me out of the palace, this little heart, please accept it." When I enter the palace in the future, I hope my sister will mention it more. ”

Nan Lingxuan returned to the palace with the reward and Lily of the Valley, who had been waiting at the door.

Shoukang Palace

The dinner was used by Kaiwen Emperor Yun Tianfeng with the Empress Dowager Chen. The Queen Mother hadn't dined with the emperor for a few days, and today the emperor came to dine with her, and she was very happy.

"It's still the queen mother's ginseng chicken soup! Son there is always a disadvantage what tastes. It was rare for Yun Tianfeng to say such a thing.

"This is Mama Chen's craft. You had a lot of things to do in the past, if you like it, the mourning family will let Mama Chen stew it for you every day and send it to the Yangju Palace. ”

"That's not necessary, Mama Chen is an old man who serves the queen mother, how dare the son let Mama Chen bother, and besides, the son remembers the ginseng and chicken soup of the queen mother, and he will definitely come to visit the queen mother often in the future."

"The mourning family sees that you remember the food of the mourning family!" Empress Dowager Chen said angrily. suddenly remembered that in the past, she was not very favored, and when she was a concubine, the palace was limited, and she would eat the chicken soup stewed with good ginseng once a month. At that time, the mother and son were so happy to eat together, and now they ......

Empress Dowager Chen put down the dishes and chopsticks, and Mama Chen knew that the Empress Dowager had something important to talk to the emperor, so she waved her hand and motioned for all the people in the palace to push it out. Empress Dowager Chen sighed in her heart and said, "That third lady of the Nan family is a good person after seeing it. Although she is not very old, she knows how to be proportionate, understands dignity and humility, and is not inferior to that person at all, as you said, she is the face of the main phoenix, and the mourning family will naturally look good for you. After all, the imperial concubine is a little angry, not calm enough. ”

"But the queen mother, after all, Prime Minister Xie contributed to the matter of the Zhenguo Mansion."

"There are only two years left before the filial piety period expires, so let's observe first!" The Queen Mother frowned slightly and said, "Soon it will be the second day of the second month of February, and it will be a big day for the dragon to raise its head, not only will you burn incense and pray, but the concubines and concubines will enter the palace." I don't know how well they are prepared. ”

"Don't worry, the queen mother, my son has asked, the Ministry of Rites is ready, and the palace where the imperial concubine lives has also been arranged, the queen mother wants to know the details, why don't you let the imperial concubine come over tomorrow to greet you!"

After Nan Lingxuan returned to the palace, she returned to Hanxiangyuan after greeting Mrs. Jiang. The Zhao family was naturally very happy to see that the Queen Mother had given a gift, and learned that Nanling Xuan had a waist card that could enter the palace at any time, and he was even more happy.

Soon, this year's Shangyuan fairy Nan Lingxuan was seen by His Majesty and the Queen Mother, and the news that the Queen Mother liked it spread all over the capital, and Nan Lingxuan's name became more and more famous.
