Chapter 142: Jinluan Palace
I don't know how long it took, Lu Ruoqing felt groggy and took a nap, and was woken up by Mama Jin.
Mama Jin got out of the car first, "It's here." ”
Mint put on a cloak for Lu Ruoqing, tied it, and then helped her get out of the car.
Ti Ying is not good at serving, just following.
Lu Ruoqing looked up.
The sky is half bright and half sleepy, and the golden palace has a different kind of tranquility.
The gilded glazed tiles have not yet been dyed with the brilliance of the day, and they are slightly dim, and the crimson palace walls are not very bright, but the whole atmosphere is much softer.
The palace is like a beast that has not yet awakened.
Lu Ruoqing followed behind Mama Jin, entered through the side door, and walked inside quietly.
Peppermint was entering the palace for the first time, and I was a little nervous.
Ti Ying didn't look easy either.
Fortunately, the Jinluan Hall is not too far from the palace gate, and it didn't take long to arrive.
Mama Jin was familiar with the way, led Lu Ruoqing to her residence, changed into the clothes of a female official in front of the palace, and said: "In the future, you must wear a female official's uniform in the palace, and you must not wear it at will." ”
Lu Ruoqing looked in the mirror.
Her hair was tied up in the air, and then she wore the golden crown of the former lady, on which were three golden branches, and each golden branch was strung with three red gold beads.
Concise, generous, and a symbol of status.
On her body, she wore the unique clothes of the former female officer, elegant and luxurious bright purple, with a snow-white plain silk satin middle shirt inside, with a jade belt, and the atmosphere was revealed between her gestures.
Mama Jin boasted: "Female Officer Lu is more decent when she wears this female official clothes." ”
The color of the palace people's clothes is exquisite.
The Shanggong of the fifth rank wears dark purple, the female officials of the sixth rank wear bright purple, the female officials of the seventh rank wear light purple, and the female officials of the eighth rank wear a dress with purple edges.
As for the ordinary palace maids and eunuchs who have no grade, they are all dark green.
For example, Mama Jin, although she is old and has been in the palace for many years, she can only wear dark blue Mama clothes, but she is more dignified than the younger palace people.
As for Ti Ying and Mint, they also changed into dark green palace maid costumes.
Lu Ruoqing is going to the Jinluan Palace.
Mama Jin confessed: "Ti Ying, Mint, you all stay in the small courtyard of Lady Lu, and you are not allowed to go anywhere else, so as not to collide with the nobles in the palace." ”
"Yes." The two responded in unison.
"Lady Lu, please." When she arrived at the palace, Mama Jin seemed to be very restrained and talked about the rules.
Lu Ruoqing stepped out first.
The residence of the former lady of the palace is very close to the back door of the Jinluan Palace, but it can be reached through a few corridors.
Mama Jin didn't dare to go any further, and said: "When Lady Lu enters the gate in front, there will be a little eunuch to guide the way, and the rules and things to do are told to you, just don't make mistakes." ”
Lu Ruoqing nodded lightly, "Well, there is Mama Laojin." ”
She carried her skirt up the steps, and as soon as she arrived at the door, a pleasing little eunuch greeted her, "Lady Lu, please." ”
Lu Ruoqing smiled and stuffed a purse that had been prepared earlier to him.
The little eunuch whispered and laughed: "The slave is auspicious, thank you Lady Lu for breaking the bill." ”
Lu Ruoqing was slightly surprised.
It is true that she is a female official, and she does have a status compared to the little eunuch according to her rank.
But this little eunuch is familiar with the way, he must have been in the Jinluan Palace for a while, and he doesn't need to be so polite in the face of her, a new female official.
Jixiang's eyes were particularly lively, as if he saw her doubts.
So he explained with a smile, "The emperor just asked Lady Lu if she had arrived?" Asked the servants to wait at the back door of the Jinluan Palace, lest the female official Lu arrived, but she didn't know the way. ”
---- it turns out that she is a fox and a fake tiger.
Lu Ruoqing immediately understood.
Jixiang is not to give her face, but to see that the emperor is polite to her, so she is polite.
But this auspiciousness, since he can get the emperor's errand, he must also be a character.
So he smiled: "The weather is cold, and it's hard for my little father-in-law." ”
Ji Xiang stopped talking.
Pointing to the inner door, he motioned for Lu Ruoqing to go in quietly, and he stopped outside the door.
Lu Ruoqing deeply felt that there were many rules in the palace.
However, the place she is going to is the Golden Luan Palace! No matter how many rules there are, it is also a matter of course.
Lu Ruoqing took a step forward and stepped into the hall.
Mama Jin told her before that not far from the emperor's throne, there is a position for a female official who is a pen. The two of them recorded the emperor's words in the court at the same time, and then compared them, so that one person would not make a mistake in the record.
Lu Ruoqing sat down on the left.
As soon as she looked up, she saw a young female officer sitting on the right opposite side of the dragon chair.
However, this is not a good time to say hello in the past.
Both men were silent.
It didn't take long to hear a sharp eunuch singing, "Hundred officials enter the court!" ”
The gate of the Jinluan Hall was slowly opened.
The officials had already stood in neat lines outside, one after another, and walked in and stood in order.
The entire hall was silent.
Lu Ruoqing felt her body tense up.
Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the eunuch singing loudly: "The emperor has arrived, kneel!" ”
All the officials knelt down in unison.
Lu Ruoqing didn't dare to slack off, and knelt down at almost the same time as the female officer opposite.
When she looked down, she saw a bright yellow figure walking over, and then sat down on the dragon chair in front, naturally it was the emperor.
Hundreds of officials shouted in unison, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live." ”
The eunuch sang, "Excuse me! ”
The Emperor remained silent.
The eunuch sang as a custom again, "There is a book, nothing to retreat." ”
Next, there were officials who came out one after another.
Lu Ruoqing didn't care about looking at the officials, she was busy recording quickly, what did a certain courtier say, and she could barely keep up with it.
Fortunately, the emperor cherishes words like gold, either "renegotiate" or "quasi".
Lu Ruoqing muttered in her heart.
Looking at it this way, it is still the best record of the emperor's words and deeds.
Because there is a holiday from the Chinese New Year's Eve to the Shangyuan Festival, there is no pilgrimage meeting for half a month, so today's ministers, you say a word, I say a word, and I don't stop until almost noon.
Lu Ruoqing sat so hard that her buttocks hurt.
She couldn't help but sneak a glance at the dragon chair, thinking that ...... the emperor's dragon buttocks were not very comfortable.
Fortunately, not long after, I heard the eunuch sing clearly, "Retreat!" ”
The Emperor stood up first and left the Jinluan Palace.
Then the ministers left one after another, and finally the female officials, eunuchs, and palace maids, all of whom looked relieved.
Lu Ruoqing deliberately slowed down a few steps, waiting for the female officer opposite to come over.
She greeted with a smile, "Sister Zhou, I heard Mama Jin say that you are a newcomer, and I will ask Sister Zhou for more advice in the future." ”
Female official Zhou is about twenty-four or five years old, with a dignified and generous face, although she can't talk about much posture, but there is a faint bookish atmosphere on her body.
Facing Lu Ruoqing's politeness, she looked very cold, "Just call me Lady Zhou." ”
A flash of surprise flashed in Lu Ruoqing's eyes.
What does this say? She didn't offend the other party, and she spoke very politely, so she didn't need to be so rejected.
Female Official Zhou hesitated, and said as if she had a deep meaning, "Female Officer Lu, the nobles in the palace don't like to form gangs, you will understand later." ”
A nobleman in the palace? Who is this talking about? As if to imply that someone was targeting her.
Lu Ruoqing couldn't figure it out all of a sudden.
After Lady Zhou finished speaking, she left calmly without saying more.
Lu Ruoqing originally wanted to ask the other party to see if the court transcript copied today was appropriate, but naturally she couldn't ask, and she didn't know who the nobles in the palace were referring to, so she couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
She thought about it, first be cautious, and then slowly inquire about the situation in the palace.
Lu Ruoqing plans to go back to her residence first and copy today's court records, and the handwriting is always clean and neat.
As he was walking, he suddenly turned a corner and found someone on the other side.
"Lady Lu." Murong Changya smiled across from her.
"Miss Murong." Lu Ruoqing was a little surprised.
Murong Changya wore a plain dress, with a demure expression, and a very dignified and generous appearance.
She smiled, "I'm here to greet the emperor." ”
Lu Ruoqing thought for a moment and made way out, "Oh, then Miss Murong first, please." ”
Murong Changya is the daughter of the eldest princess of Rongguo, and the emperor is her own uncle, her identity is not ordinary, so let it go.
Unexpectedly, Murong Changya said politely: "The emperor has just come down to the early dynasty and is still eating, I want to say a few words alone with Female Officer Lu, I don't know if I am free?" ”
Lu Ruoqing said in her heart, can she say that she is not free? She couldn't say anything.
Therefore, he smiled and said, "Miss Murong, please speak." ”
Murong Changya waved away the palace maids, pointed not far away, and said, "Let's go talk under the red plum tree over there, okay?" ”
Lu Ruoqing hesitated.
Murong Changya couldn't help but smile, "Female official Lu, this is the Jinluan Palace, and you are a female official in front of the palace, are you still worried that I dare to do something?" There are people watching. ”
Lu Ruoqing hesitated, "Okay, go over and say." ”
Every few steps around were the eunuchs of the Jinluan Palace, and although they were pushed back, they could not be heard, but what they were doing could be seen.
Moreover, there is nothing hidden under the plum tree.
Lu Ruoqing passed.
Murong Changya arrived under the flower tree, glanced at the side of the main hall, and said, "Your Highness, Lady Lu has invited you. ”
The figure flashed, and King Huan flashed out from the side.
Lu Ruoqing couldn't help but freeze.
What the hell is this? It turned out that Murong Changya was just a lobbyist, and she made an appointment with her, but she actually asked King Huan to come over to talk?
If someone else does that, that's fine.
The partial life is Murong Changya, and it feels really weird.
King Huan approached and said, "My father didn't let the princes see you alone, and I had no choice but to ask my cousin to help me make an appointment with you to say a few words, I hope you don't be surprised." ”
Lu Ruoqing hurriedly bowed her head, "His Royal Highness King Huan is serious, and the officials don't dare." ”
Murong Changya took a few steps to the side.
It seems that there is no intention of listening to what they have to say.
King Huan lowered his voice and said, "Ruoqing, yesterday at the Lantern Festival, it was because I was a little out of control for a while, so I said excessive things to you." ”
What do you mean? Lu Ruoqing's eyes widened.
King Huan's eyes flickered, and he looked at her, "I'm sorry, I hope you don't take it to heart." ”
