Chapter 128: Tun Lao Er enters the palace
On the day of entering the palace, Shen Shimei dressed up well, although there are not so many "cosmetics" in this era, but Shen Shimei, who has been painting in professional clothes for several years, is absolutely meaningless to paint a down-and-out and generous makeup. With the hairpin given to her by Du Xuanmo on her head, the whole person is also upright.
Du Niangzi looked at Shen Pomegranate, but she looked a little more pretty than at the wedding that day, although they came from the countryside, but Shen Pomegranate looked no worse than those nobles in Kyoto City.
Du Xuanmo took a small box over, Shen Pomegranate took it and opened it, and inside was a silver chain agate, which looked very exotic.
"You don't have ear piercings, and you can't wear earrings, so I made a chain for you, and my mother took it to Guangliang Temple outside the city yesterday to open it for you." Du Xuanmo said.
Shen Shiliu was moved and looked at Du Niangzi, no wonder she didn't see Du Niangzi when she woke up yesterday morning, it turned out that she went to open the light for her. Although Shen Shiliu is an iron-clad materialist, the two of them are sincere, and she also appreciates it.
"Thank you, mother!" Shen Shiliu said, although it has only been a few days since he changed his words, he will get used to it after calling too much.
Du Niangzi smiled, she couldn't help anything, she could do whatever she could.
Du Xuanmo and Shen Shimei walked all the way into the palace, he didn't have a mansion, he didn't have a carriage, and the distance was not far anyway, so he walked all the way into the palace.
Shen Shimei saw a lot of carriages on the road, and he estimated that it was the carriage of the officials of various families, and it was rare to think that she and Du Xuanmo had this kind of "energy conservation and emission reduction".
"Don't worry, pomegranate, the emperor should give a reward to the mansion this time." Du Xuanmo said, they are also officials, and he is too clear in his official position.
Shen Shiliu shook his head with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely have a rich and prosperous day with you, I have confidence in you!" β
Du Xuanmo smiled, the two of them went all the way to the gate of the palace, the carriages were checked one by one, and "retail investors" like Du Xuanmo and Shen Shimei went directly to the door and showed up the sign to enter, which was more convenient than those queuing carriages.
Shen Pomegranate entered the palace for the first time, and just looking at the palace gate was not an ordinary style, which made her see what the majesty of the heavenly family was.
After the noon gate, it is the Jinshui Bridge, and then to the Taihe Gate, which is very similar to what she saw in the modern Forbidden City, but it is completely different after the Taihe Gate. Du Xuanmo was familiar with the road, and took her to the Imperial Garden.
"You must have come more than once or twice, otherwise I would have been lost!" Shen Shiliu said, the way to turn left and right is really not easy to find.
Du Xuanmo said: "Indeed. "He won the championship that day, and then entered the palace many times, except for the harem in the palace, basically he can find a rough idea.
Along the way, Shen Shiliu saw many eunuchs and palace maids, everyone lowered their heads, and even if they saw someone replying, they also lowered their heads to speak.
When he arrived at the Imperial Garden, Du Xuanmo showed the sign to the eunuch inside, and the eunuch led it and sat down.
Shen Shiliu followed and sat down and looked around, afraid that people would treat her as the second child to enter the city, and she didn't dare to be too public.
"Don't be so nervous, it's okay to look generous, and there are not many opportunities for family members to participate in the palace banquet, everyone is the same!" Du Xuanmo said.
Shen Shiliu grinned, then she was relieved, anyway, it was a starting line, no one should laugh at anyone.
These eunuchs and family members are all dressed luxuriously, but they are not publicized, they look very low-key, Shen Pomegranate is probably afraid of stealing the limelight or something, in such a comparison, he dresses in a very easy-going style, and he blends in very well.
There were a lot of refreshments on the table, Shen Shiliu didn't take them after taking a look, and it wasn't that he hadn't eaten them, so it was better to be reserved on this occasion.
After a while, Shen Shiliu saw a familiar face, that Miss Su also came, and the middle-aged man walking in front should be the Imperial Doctor.
Shen Shimei pretended to see everything, Su Baiyue glared at her, she pretended not to see, and continued to chat with Du Xuanmo.
Su Baiyue is angry, after the last time she ran out was discovered, Xiaohong was directly beaten and driven out of the house, and she was grounded, if it weren't for the rare opportunity for a palace banquet today, it is estimated that her father would not let her out.
Su Lang is really bad, his daughter has been carefully taught since she was a child, although she will not insult the lintel in her studies, but this temperament is too arrogant. Today, the emperor held a palace banquet, and the courtiers' children and daughters could come, and he was also ready to take this opportunity to find a family affair for Su Baiyue, and quickly marry out to worry about it.
Su Lang sat down and looked around, and when his eyes saw Du Xuanmo's side, Du Xuanmo also happened to see him.
Du Xuanmo raised his hand, but Su Lang snorted directly and turned his head.
Du Xuanmo smiled bitterly, it seems that this is offending Su Lang.
Shen Shiliu also saw Su Lang's expression, so he asked Du Xuanmo: "Is it bad to offend him?" β
Du Xuanmo nodded: "The imperial history was originally to supervise the civil and military officials, although he is a civil official, but he can also ignore the affairs of the military attachΓ©, if I enter the court in the future, I will definitely be targeted to death by him." "He must act in the future, otherwise Su Lang will have the opportunity to catch his braids, and it is estimated that he will have to shoot bricks in front of the emperor.
Shen Shiliu nodded, I have long heard that no one dares to provoke the imperial history, even if the imperial history's advice is unpleasant, the emperor has to endure the crime and cannot be punished, such a "discipline inspection committee" is here, Du Xuanmo will indeed be cheered up in the future.
Further forward is Liang Xiangye's position, Du Xuanmo saluted respectfully, Liang Xiangye nodded and smiled, this can be regarded as a greeting.
Shen Shiliu looked at Liang Xiangye, with a kind look on his face, but his eyes were shining, she had heard the old saying, it is estimated that this Liang Xiangye has become a human spirit, and it is indeed wise for Du Xuanmo to decide to walk with Liang Xiangye as soon as he arrived in Kyoto.
After waiting for a long time, it is considered to be arriving, this is not counted, the emperor and the women of the harem have not yet arrived, but the position where Shen Shimei is sitting is still quite far away from the emperor, and there is still an open space in the middle, it is estimated that the distance produces beauty.
After a while, the emperor came, followed by a large number of people, Shen Shimei was far away, and he couldn't even see the emperor's nose and eyes clearly, but the emperor was surrounded by five or six women, who should be the legendary "girls".
"It's earned, it's really better than a TV series!" Shen Shiliu said that film and television dramas have demonized the harem, and a group of women are pinched to death, and she doesn't know what the real harem looks like.
Du Xuanmo pulled Shen Shiliu to stand up, knelt down in unison, Shen Shimei knelt down, she did whatever people wanted, and then listened to the eunuch shouting to let everyone get up.
The eunuch's voice is not shrill, and it does not sound yin and yang, which is completely different from the eunuch in Shen Shimei's impression.
After kneeling and sitting back again, the emperor didn't say much, and the courtiers below took care of their own entertainment.
"It's not what I imagined!" Shen Shiliu said, anyway, it's different from the TV series, but it's normal to think about it, the emperor's face can be seen casually, and watching a personal shadow is rare in this life.
Du Xuanmo smiled lightly: "What do you think?" β
"I thought the emperor was very close!" Shen Shiliu said, it's worth a look!
Du Xuanmo smiled: "The emperor will not get too close to such a banquet, he has the majesty of the heavenly family to guard, and if there is something, the eunuch or the Zhongshu Sheren will shout." β
Shen Pomegranate nodded, and then poured himself a glass of fruit wine and drank it.
"This fruit wine tastes good, I'll study it when I go back!" Shen Shimei took a sip and said.
Du Xuanmo smiled: "This is the fruit wine of Lingnan tribute, such a banquet will be taken out, and the official eunuchs can't find it if they want to drink it on weekdays, can you study it?" β
Shen Shiliu smiled: "Research and research, research is not good, research is not good, research is bad!" β
The two talked and laughed, but Su Baiyue on the other side was so angry that her teeth itched, but before Su Lang came today, she specially told her not to act recklessly, otherwise she would go back to her hometown in Huzhou.
Du Xuanmo told Shen Shiliu about interesting things in Kyoto, saying that he would take Shen Shiliu to a street next to Hanlin Temple when he was free.
"After being stared at all night, won't her eyes be sore?" Shen Shiliu muttered, Su Baiyue didn't stop glaring at her all night.
Du Xuanmo was helpless, so he said: "At that moment, the emperor said that you can leave, let's go first, there are big rules in this palace, it is better to go back earlier." β
Shen Shiliu nodded, there was no way to stay as comfortable in the palace as his own house.
Seeing that the moon was coming up and the temperature in the imperial garden was not high, Shen Shiliu thought about going home quickly, but a eunuch came to announce the decree, and when he heard it, he still came to Du Xuanmo.
Shen Shiliu was excited in his heart, Du Xuanmo was not surprised, originally this palace banquet was set up for him, although it was far away from the emperor, but the position was relatively high, otherwise he would not be able to sit face to face with the Su family.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Du Xuanmo, a student of the Hanlin Academy, Tian Huicong, feels the suffering of the people in the world, and offers good strategies for people's livelihood. I worked hard, so I didn't forget to ask about the big things at night, and I was very relieved. The Ministry of Officials from the reconsideration of the award, specially sealed for the long history, plus the seal of the servant, Chin this. β
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" There was a large mountain of people kneeling below and shouting long live, Shen Shiliu was also among them, she didn't understand what kind of official it was, but looking at the faint smile on Du Xuanmo's face, she knew that it was not a petty official.
After the eunuch announced the decree, Du Xuanmo received the decree, and then the eunuch said that the emperor had returned to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, and let the courtiers and their families entertain themselves.
Everyone got up, the weather was cold, and everyone who was okay went back to their respective homes for entertainment and did not suffer from the cold here. Shen Shiliu hurriedly asked Du Xuanmo in a low voice: "What kind of officials are Changshi and Shizhong?" β
Du Xuanmo smiled bitterly: "This is not a big official, they are all small officials, Changshi can be regarded as the prime minister's helper, and he has little power." β
"Huh? Then you are still laughing, what a big official I think! Shen Shimei was a little deflated, this night was stared at in vain, and he was frozen in vain.
Du Xuanmo saw that there were a lot of people around, so he whispered to Shen Shiliu: "Let's go, let's go home and I'll talk to you!" β
