2.7. New flowers bloom in the imperial city
The imperial city ushered in a new round of liveliness.
Outside the south gate of Bohe Gate, there were full of guards, and the palace maids and eunuchs led the newly elected little masters to the door of the south gate in an orderly manner.
The bright and moving girls who walked down the carriage were in their prime, upright and youthful.
The palace people waiting at the gate of the south side sang and sang in turn according to the instructions of the queen's mother, and then someone led them to their respective palaces.
Today is the day when the upstarts enter the palace, a batch in the morning and a batch in the afternoon, and it will be lively for a whole day.
Yu Moling listened to the laughter outside at this time, and was pretending to peel oranges for Yu Lanqing with a deep heart, but her heart was not quiet, and the movements on her hands were always wrong, the orange peel was obviously easy to peel, but her hand trembled and fell on the table, Yu Lanqing heard the sound, raised her eyes and glanced at Yu Moling, she was pretending to be okay and threw the orange on the plate on the side, and picked up another one to continue peeling.
"Yesterday's roster was changed and changed, and I have been holding the pen for a long time, but my arm is sore today?" Yu Lanqing put the book in her hand on her lap, whispered 'care' Yu Moling, reached out and took the orange in her hand, and slowly peeled it herself, she quickly peeled it and put a petal in her mouth, the entrance was moist and sweet, Yu Lanqing didn't eat much, just put it aside, "Today's liveliness, even the mourning family can be heard clearly, and it will be more lively in the future." ”
Yue Ying echoed on the side: "Yes, it can be lively, and the rules that should be there are still one that cannot be wrong." ”
Yu Lanqing nodded and looked at Yu Moling: "Yes, the rules in this palace must be set in the morning, no matter who it is, you can't be wrong, the queen abides by the rules, don't favor anyone, and in the future, she will be able to convince the public." ”
Yu Moling knew that Yu Lanqing was teaching her, all these years in the palace, the aunt and nephew were companions, Yu Lanqing has been telling Yu Moling intentionally or unintentionally that after the upstart entered the palace, she was unwilling to take care of the affairs of the palace, and it was one thing to mention something, but the queen's prestige and power could only be measured and grasped by Yu Moling herself, and no matter how much people around her helped, it would be useless.
"Auntie, I'm afraid." Yu Moling was silent for a while before speaking, "When my aunt entered the palace to show off, did she feel sad and scared?" ”
Yu Lanqing shook Yu Moling's hand: "Of course I'm afraid, but the mourning family and the first emperor, there is a mistake first, and then there is a deep love, you are different from the emperor, you know each other when you are young, the most simple and splendid time, are all accompanied by each other, study together, run a private school together, the relationship between you and the emperor, no one has ever intervened in it, the emperor loves you, trusts you, you should also believe in yourself, even if there are more women in this harem, you only firmly believe that you and the emperor have the same heart, what is there to be afraid of?" ”
Yu Lanqing's hands were very warm, and with Yu Lanqing's relief, Yu Moling was indeed much better.
The companionship, memories and bonds between her and Wei Zishan are indeed not something that anyone can shake, they cherish each other, love each other, when they decided to marry Wei Zishan as the queen, didn't Yu Moling herself already accept the fact that she would admonish the concubines of the Six Palaces in the future?
She was mentally prepared, but when she really faced it, she was still a little hesitant, and now with Yu Lanqing's words, Yu Moling nodded slowly: "I will work hard." ”
Back then, Yu Lanqing was not pampered, and she was ridiculed by the Six Palaces and was able to survive, but now she is known to everyone as the queen of the Middle Palace who loves each other with the emperor.
After going on a smooth road for a long time, don't you dare to face the wind and waves?
Seeing that Yu Moling cheered up, Yu Lanqing picked up the book in his hand again and read, after meeting the middle palace tomorrow, Yu Moling will start to get busy, fortunately, in the palace all these years, he has already learned how to take care of the harem affairs in an orderly manner, and he was used to it after a busy period of time at the beginning.
So Yu Moling deliberately stayed to accompany Yu Lanqing for dinner, probably knowing Yu Moling's uneasiness and sadness, Wei Zishan also coincidentally passed the word that he would return to Cishou Palace for dinner, in front of Yu Lanqing, although Wei Zishan didn't say anything, he took special care of Yu Moling, and after eating, the two of them also accompanied Yu Lanqing for a walk to eat, talking and laughing, until Yu Lanqing said that he was a little tired and wanted to rest, Wei Zishan and Yu Moling left together.
Yue Ying personally followed the two out, and when she came back, she had a smile on her face: "The emperor is an eccentric queen, giving the six palaces a prestige." ”
"How?" Yu Lanqing took a sip of tea, walked for a while, and was indeed thirsty.
"The harem concubines stayed in the six palaces, and the emperor should have stayed in the Qianming Palace tonight, probably thinking about it early in the morning to let the six palaces know that the queen is favored, so as not to make those newcomers coquettish, it was the slave maid who asked Zhao'an, saying that the emperor was going to Fengyu Palace to accompany the queen today, looking like this, he was going to stay overnight." Yue Ying said softly, it is excellent that Wei Zishan can have this thought, this time she asked the concubines who entered the palace, they are all good-looking, they must be arrogant in their bones, ambitious, and only looking forward to Junen.
Now Wei Zishan personally gave a dismount and greeted him tomorrow, and no one dared to underestimate the young and gentle queen.
Yu Lanqing only bowed slightly, this is the first night, the road ahead is very long, and if you don't think right, you will eventually harm yourself, He Meiren, Zhao Lian'er, Nan Huazhu, Li Lerong, which one of them got good retribution? It's just a flash in the mirror.
She only hopes that this time the people who enter the palace are all smart and transparent children, and they are just serious-minded, if they have confused thoughts and do things that hurt nature and reason, she will naturally take care of it.
"The days are still long, so let's take our time." Everyone has come step by step like this, seeing through people's hearts, it is not possible overnight, "Everything still has to pay more attention to the queen, there is Zhao'an on the emperor's side, and the mourning family is naturally relieved, during this time, let Yun Siduo enter the palace and walk around, she has a vicious eye to see people accurately, the mourning family does not walk around in the harem, let her check for the queen, and the mourning family can be trusted." ”
Yu Moling is everyone's demeanor, since he was a child, he grew up in the atmosphere of the Yu family, naturally the same as Yu Lanqing back then, he has never experienced any dirty things in the boudoir, his temperament is too gentle, and he will not use any bad intentions to speculate on others, and it is precisely because of this that it is easy to suffer a dark loss, let Yun Si enter the palace to walk more, take a look more, first, she can remind Moling a little, and secondly, Yun Si's temperament has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, and Yu Lanqing is the same, he can't see dirty things, if he hits, I just happened to help Mo Ling cook together.
Yueying responded and said yes, and in a few days she would deliver the news to Princess Anshun's mansion, although Wei Yunsi was the youngest, but in the past few years, it was time to talk about marriage, Yu Lanqing heard Wei Zishan mention it, saying that the little lord of Viscount Chen's mansion and Wei Yunsi were interested in each other, she only said that she was not in a hurry, and it was not too late to wait for Wei Zijue to come back after the year.
Now it seems that the decision is just right, and if you want to enter the palace like this from time to time after getting married, I am afraid that there will not be much time.
Early in the morning of the second day, the concubine came to see her, and Yue Ying specially went to Fengyu Palace to comb Yu Moling's hair, and brought Yu Lanqing's words, until everyone arrived and waited, it was not too late to pass slowly.
I don't know if it's because of nervousness or what, Yu Moling woke up very early today, and she got up when Wei Zishan went to the morning court, and when she saw Yueying at this time, she was a little relieved, so she leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes and took a nap.
The palace maid outside came in and said that the concubines were waiting in the courtyard outside the main hall, everyone was new to the palace, some were familiar with each other and some were not familiar, chattering in the courtyard of Fengyu Palace to talk, Yueying glanced at the hour, and asked the bell to wake up Yu Moling, and she could accept the concubines' bowing ceremony.
The bell is also a small follow Yu Moling, from the time when Wei Zishan first became a prince to study in Yu Mansion, he watched the relationship between Wei Zishan and Yu Moling accumulate bit by bit, and now there are so many women in the palace, and the bell is naturally concerned about Yu Moling.
She helped Yu Moling out, Yueying stood far behind the long curtain, and the concubines came in and sat down, just in sight of her.
Yu Moling sat on the throne in the main hall, and after taking a deep breath, the bell asked the concubines to come up.
Lined up in two columns, like flowers as delicate women walked into the hall, they have all learned the etiquette in the palace, to Yu Moling three kneels and nine bows to the big gift, Yu Moling took a rough look at the past, in the past and her group of young ladies who grew up and knew each other most of them have allowed people, but there are a few similar faces in the palace, it should be a big family in the girl, in order to avoid the Beijing official power, Yu Moling looks at familiar faces and is difficult to do, so this time the palace is selected to raise Miss Yan in the county hometown, look similar, but do not recognize any of them.
If you see the queen, you have to listen to the admonition, Yu Moling asked them all to sit down, and her speech was dignified and decent, and she looked like she had a bit of the queen's posture, Yue Ying looked at it from behind, Yu Moling's side face was a little similar to Yu Lanqing's appearance back then, she didn't have a smile on her face, and she looked self-contained, just like the scene where Yu Lanqing admonished Su Yaoyao alone, the daughter of the Yu family is gentle, but in the end she is still a martial artist, and there will be no less things.
The concubines listened to the queen's admonition, some of them had sharp teeth and quick mouths, and when they saw Yu Moling's soft appearance, they thought that she was a good talker, so they rushed to speak and asked: "After listening to the queen's admonition, can our sisters prepare to sleep?" ”
As soon as the words fell, the room was so quiet that the sound of silver needles falling to the ground could be heard, and everyone looked at the woman who spoke, and after a long ring, the bell took a step forward with a cold face: "Zheng Meiren is more thoughtful than anyone else, as if Zheng Meiren doesn't say it, the queen doesn't know that you can go to bed, the queen mother didn't finish speaking, Zheng Meiren rushed to talk, why, Aunt Jiao Xi didn't even teach Zheng Meiren this rule?!" ”
The bell stared at her eyes, full of momentum, Yue Ying was stunned as if she had seen the reckless embroidered heart of the year, Yu Moling raised her eyes and swept everyone's faces, Zheng Meiren was scolded by the bell like this, and naturally knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly knelt down and said that the concubine did not dare, and asked the queen to forgive her sins.
Yu Moling didn't expect that someone would dare to rob her words today, thinking that the first time they met, it should not be too solemn, it was to let Zheng Meiren get up, thinking that it was the first offense, and she would only be punished for three days, Zheng Meiren's eyes dimmed, and the people next to her were bad, and there was no one to compete for the honor of turning over the brand on the first day, but it was not a good thing? Who can be blamed for this, and the only blame can be blamed for being stupid.
With such a fuss, Yu Moling originally wanted to keep them down to talk for a while, but now it seems that it is too embarrassing, so that everyone will disperse directly.
Zheng Meiren's face was blue and red for a while, she originally thought that the queen was easy-going, and she was just asking for everyone, but now she is full of reprimands, and the people next to her are not necessarily grateful to her, just when she is stupid, she doesn't know how to laugh at it in her heart, she glanced at Wang Meiren opposite, the two of them recognized, and when they were in their hometown in the county, they didn't deal with each other, and now that she was reprimanded, Wang Meiren didn't want to laugh to death?
As soon as Yu Moling said that she was scattered, Zheng Meiren got up and left in a hurry, and Wang Meiren also put on her skirt and sped up, but she caught up with Zheng Meiren at the second corner: "What is the sister of the Zheng family doing so fast, let's enter the palace together, and I didn't talk to my sister along the way, shouldn't my sister deliberately avoid me?" ”
Wang Meiren had a lot of strength, grabbed Zheng Meiren's wrist and refused to let go, squinted her eyes, and knew that she had a cunning face: "Could it be that my sister knows that she is stupid, and she was reprimanded for saying the wrong thing in front of the queen's mother, and she feels embarrassed?" ”
Zheng Meiren shook off her hand and glared at her: "What does it have to do with you?" ”
"Why does my sister talk like that? We came from a place, naturally we should take care of it more, my sister's aunt failed to teach my sister the rules, but my sister has studied carefully, and my sister will be punished for making mistakes in the rules, and my sister has this time to mention my sister one or two. Wang Meiren saw that the concubines who came slowly behind her had already turned the corner and saw them, so she deliberately lengthened her tone and said loudly, "I'm afraid that my sister will be arrogant and look down on my sister." ”
The people on that side looked over and heard the sound of talking here, Zheng Meiren was even more ashamed, the official position of the Wang family is similar to her family, the two families are feuds, and they have always been against each other, originally wanted to enter the palace to hide, and then compete with each other after having grace, who knew that she was caught by her on the first day, Wang Meiren did not laugh for three or five months, I am afraid that she would not let go.
"After entering the palace, everyone depends on their abilities, even if I don't know the rules anymore, there are queen mothers and queen mothers, where will it be your turn to teach me the rules?" Zheng Meiren's face is not good, and she refuses to show weakness easily, anyway, she has been seen by others, and she has made trouble to this point, and she avoids dodging but makes people think that she is easy to bully, so she also choked back, the two of them seem to be still the same as when they were in the county, the mansion is separated by a long street, and the two of them just went out and got into the carriage and met, and you can talk back and forth for a while.
There are a lot of people on that side who are watching the excitement, and there are also many people who are worried that the noise will reach Fengyu Palace and attract the aunts in the palace, and a few people from the same county have already discussed leaving, how far away is this kind of thing to hide, so as not to be affected when the time comes.
Wang Meiren didn't expect Zheng Meiren to be angry, in fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was originally Wang Meiren looking for trouble, she spoke politely, poked Zheng Meiren's heart and went: "That's natural, my sister is very smart, even if I think about it behind closed doors for three days, I won't delay my sister's honor, then my sister will send my sister first, so as not to delay my sister to go back to the palace to think about it, and be reprimanded by my aunt." ”
Zheng Meiren was trampled on, raised her hand and pointed at Wang Meiren, gritted her teeth and didn't say anything for a long time, she did hear that the emperor was young and handsome, and she admired the emperor before entering the palace, and wanted to meet, but she was already annoyed after being reprimanded, three days is not much, but it is enough to miss too many things she is looking forward to, the first night the emperor did not turn over her brand is one thing, and it is another thing that she was grounded and can't hand it over, Zheng Meiren has blamed herself enough, her heart is sad enough, and she was pulled by Wang Meiren and deliberately took it out and said, His brain exploded, and after a long while, he spat at Wang Meiren's smug face: "So what?" In terms of talent and appearance, you are not first-class, what are you proud of? It's as if the emperor has turned over your sign and wants you to sleep tonight, don't fall behind me when the time comes, there will be a time for you to cry. ”
The two quarreled fiercely, the more they talked, the more unseemly they became, and when they dared to talk about the emperor's remake of the concubines in broad daylight, if it was passed to Fengyu Palace, I was afraid that they would be called to lecture again, Yu Ronghua looked back at the concubines who were whispering but no one was ready to step forward to take charge, secretly scolded a fool, and passed over to them before Wang Meiren and Zheng Meiren quarreled even more outrageously.
They are here to watch the two of them quarrel, if something really happens, they will be safe and sound? When the time comes, if the emperor is angry, don't think about it one by one, just enter the palace and make trouble on the palace road, take the queen's admonition as a deaf ear, don't say that the queen wants to be angry, if the emperor really loves the queen as rumored, I am afraid that everyone will be punished severely, Yu Ronghua will take advantage of this reason to try to persuade her, even if she is really accountable, she has at least been advised, respects and remembers the queen's lesson, and she can leave a good impression in the emperor's heart at once, but can stand out.
No matter how it is calculated, it is a good deal, Yu Ronghua took a step without hesitation, walked straight between the two, separated the two of them, and said softly: "The sun is so big, the two sisters are sunning like this, the makeup is spent, and the beautiful beauty is sweating, in case the emperor comes to visit the queen, I am afraid that I will lose my honor." ”
Wang Meiren glanced at Yu Ronghua and knew that she had a higher position, so she said with a bit of stuttering: "Sister Yu also heard it, I was kind enough to worry about Sister Zheng, but Sister Zheng was to blame." ”
Yu Ronghua glanced at her, faintly, didn't care, but smiled at Zheng Meiren: "The queen mother just admonished, they are all their own sisters in the palace, the palace people near this palace road come and go, the most afraid is word of mouth, to spread the falsehood, our sisters know that the two sisters are laughing, but the palace people will be wrong, thinking that the two sisters are ignoring the queen's teachings, the front foot out of the Fengyu Palace, the back foot will be noisy, I am afraid that the queen mother will also misunderstand, Sister Zheng still has something important?" How can you talk to Sister Wang here, wait a few days, and find a good time for us to sit down and talk together, wouldn't it be better? ”
Yu Ronghua said something in his words, warning them not to take the queen's words as a deaf ear, since they knew that there was still a queen mother, they should be more cautious in their words and deeds.
Zheng Meiren understood, Wang Meiren also understood, the eyes of the two changed, they glanced at each other, and snorted unconvinced, but no one said anything more, and they left.
This farce ended peacefully, Yu Ronghua turned around and walked back to the concubines who were watching the excitement, and said in a deep voice: "The singers are gone, what are you still doing here?" Do you want to sing it yourself? ”
Yu Ronghua was born with a cold appearance, looking extremely capable and convincing, and she solved the situation in just a few words, and everyone naturally did not collide with her, and everyone was gone in a blink of an eye.
Yu Ronghua stood in place for a while, looked back in the direction of Fengyu Palace, a few thoughts flashed in his heart, and then took the hand of the palace maid and walked towards his palace.
She guessed well, their actions here were indeed secretly watched, but Yu Ronghua thought it was someone from the queen's side, but she didn't expect that it was actually someone from the front of the palace.
Wei Zishan can't be in the harem all the time, today the upstart visited the queen, he was naturally a little worried, but after the next court, there were ministers who stayed to talk about things, and he couldn't leave for a while, so he asked Zhao'an to send a steady little eunuch to see for him, what those new concubines were doing and how people were.
Fang Cai's scene naturally fell into the eyes of the little eunuch in front of the palace, he was not seen by Yu Ronghua, and when he saw that the concubines were scattered, he went back to the Qianming Palace and told Zhao'an what he saw, Zhao'an bowed slightly, this Yu Ronghua was a little like Nanhua back then, but I don't know if her cleverness can be used on the right path, or she was blinded by ambition like Nanhua back then, and finally ended up miserable.
Zhao An asked the little eunuch to go down to receive the reward, and after waiting for Wei Zishan to finish the discussion, he went in with the teacup and whispered carefully to Wei Zishan about the matter.
Wei Zishan raised his eyebrows: "Yu Ronghua? ”
"Yes, it seems that I listened to the queen's admonition, and I respect the queen's appearance." Zhao'an said in 1510 that the little eunuch in front of the emperor went to Fengyu Palace to tell the bell that the emperor would come over later, and mentioned the situation of today's greetings by the way, and the bell said that Yu Ronghua, who was sitting in front, was very sincere when he saluted Yu Moling, and looked very respectful of the queen.
Wei Zishan picked up the information of the concubines and concubines sent by Yu Moling yesterday, he didn't want to read it, but after hearing this, he opened it and took a look.
Yu Ronghua's name was in the third column, Wei Zishan squinted his eyes, he put down the fold, and only spoke after half a ring: "Yu Shu, it's very good." ”
