Chapter 105: Departure for Beijing
These ancient days were so boring that there was not even a little pastime and entertainment, as if people all over the world were revolving around the emperor.
"What's there to worry about, I'm lucky, I won't die." Lu Xue said casually boredly.
"Girl, the slave has noticed that you are not the same as before." Mingzhu tilted her head and looked at Lu Xueyi with a scrutinizing expression.
Lu Xueyi couldn't help but panic when she heard this, turned her head and asked Mingzhu: "What's different, I'm still me." ”
Mingzhu shook her head depressedly, with her talent, there was no way to express her thoughts clearly, but she felt that the current girl was really different from the previous girl, as if she had changed a person.
Seeing that Mingzhu couldn't speak, Lu Xueyi couldn't help but smile, raised her hand and patted her shoulder, and took the lead in walking towards her small courtyard.
Although Mingzhu looked depressed, she could hurry up and keep up, since the girl said that she was not in a hurry, she was really not in a hurry.
Master Lu was also very embarrassed in the past two days, although he said that the congratulatory gift was ready, everything was prepared properly, but his wife made a mistake before this and was grounded.
Although Aunt Qiao is pregnant, she does not show that she is pregnant, and it is very convenient to go out, so she naturally wants to go.
Every night, I always coquettish in Mr. Lu's ears, and I can blow the pillow wind for several days in a row.
Although Master Lu also had the heart to let her go, he couldn't be the master, so he could only put this matter aside for the time being.
On this day, Master Lu came to greet the old lady, and suddenly had such a thought in his heart, so he opened his mouth to inquire about it.
This congratulatory gift for entering the palace is to bring his wife to live completely, and now Master Lu is embarrassed, so he can only go to the old lady to discuss.
The old lady's health has improved a lot recently, and she has eaten a lot of food.
Hearing Master Lu's intention, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Entering Beijing to face the saint is actually to show the harmony of officials, so the master doesn't have to panic, bring the old body and the eldest girl, and then choose a respected and well-behaved one from the aunts, just bring it." ”
After listening to the old woman's words, Master Lu felt that this plan was feasible, so he proposed: "It's better to bring Aunt Qiao, she is pregnant now, but she can touch the joy of the saint." ”
When the old lady heard this, she nodded happily, although she didn't like Aunt Qiao, but the child in her womb was her grandson, and she couldn't care too much about it.
After the two discussed the matter, they asked their subordinates to inform the various hospitals to prepare.
Lu Xueling went to visit Aunt Qiao, and just happened to meet someone who came over to spread the word, so that Aunt Qiao was ready to enter the palace.
Lu Xueling didn't ask much after the next person left, but just chatted with Aunt Qiao for a while.
When she returned to her small courtyard, her expression became silent, and Aunt Xia asked when she saw her appearance.
Lu Xueling was in a hurry to be asked, she could only say these things, Aunt Xia was furious when she heard it, they were all aunts, why couldn't Aunt Qiao go if she could go.
Aunt Xia had some resentment in her heart, but Aunt Qiao caught up with the good time, and her natural identity was heavier than her when she was pregnant.
Since she can't go by herself, she naturally has to try her best to send her daughter in.
If her daughter follows into the palace and is favored by the princes and nobles, it will be soaring, and her daughter's future in the future is limitless.
Aunt Xia took advantage of one of her mouths and did not come out, and persuaded Lu Xueling for a while
Lu Xueling felt that what her mother said was not wrong, so she got up and went to Aunt Qiao's courtyard.
When she came to Aunt Qiao's courtyard, Lu Xueling looked at the small courtyard that was properly cleaned inside and out, and couldn't help but feel a little envious in her heart.
Lu Xueling thought about it, she saved Aunt Qiao before, if she asks her to accompany her now, it shouldn't be too much, right?
"Aunt Qiao, Xueling hasn't entered the palace yet, I don't know if Aunt Qiao can help me say a few words in front of my father, so that I can also open my eyes." Lu Xueling said a little uneasy.
When Aunt Qiao heard Lu Xueling's words, she couldn't help laughing and said, "You kid just have a lot of worries, and you always like to hold it in your stomach, it's rare for you to beg me once today, no matter what, I have to fight for you." ”
Lu Xueling immediately smiled when she heard this, and the temperament of her whole person changed.
In the evening, Master Lu came to Aunt Qiao's courtyard, and Aunt Qiao simply mentioned the matter, and the old man agreed to it.
His second daughter is outstanding, and her temperament is quite reasonable, so it doesn't make him feel ashamed to take it out, so she naturally agrees very happily.
Now that the candidates for entering the palace have been decided, and the congratulatory gifts have also been sent, just wait for the time to go out directly.
Liu Qingqing, who stayed in the mansion, heard the rumors in the mansion, and naturally became angry.
Even if she is grounded now, if Master Lu has the heart, he can take her into the palace.
Now that the candidates have been decided, Liu Qingqing knows that the mistake she made this time made Master Lu too angry, and I am afraid that she will not forgive her for a while, and she is immediately disheartened.
"Girl, girl, good news!" Mingyue ran in from outside with a happy face and scolded Mingzhu.
"Why don't you look like a big girl, how can you be so reckless all day, what are you looking for a girl?" Mingzhu reprimanded with a straight face.
"The master just sent someone over to inform us that our girl should prepare early and leave for Beijing tomorrow." Mingyue laughed as she spoke, which showed how happy she was at this moment.
"Really? That was so good that I hurried to tell the girl and make her happy. When Mingzhu heard this, he immediately turned around and ran.
Mingyue spit out mischievously behind her, sticking out her tongue and thinking: "I also said that I am frizzy, and I am not calm at all, hum." ”
Lu Xueyi was sitting in the room, studying the booklet in her hand. Mingzhu happily rushed in and shouted at her: "The girl has a big news for you, just now the master sent someone to inform us, let the girl prepare early, and go out to Beijing tomorrow, the girl will be able to see the emperor immediately, it's really good." ”
Lu Xueyi slowly put down the book in her hand, raised her face and looked at Mingzhu with a smile.
"Mingzhu, you speak slowly, I don't understand it so quickly." Mingzhu hurriedly slowed down her breathing when she heard this, and said it again.
This time, Lu Xueyi understood, which meant to let her enter Beijing to face the saint.
"What's so fun about entering the Beijing Saint? Why do you have such an ecstatic expression. Lu Xueyi said indifferently.
"The girl doesn't know, every year on the emperor's birthday, hundreds of officials and courtiers can bring their families into the city, if they are favored by the palace nobles, it will bring vitality to the family." Mingzhu tried to explain that he told Lu Xueyi everything he knew.
The carriage of the Lu family bumped all the way into the capital, and was soon welcomed into the palace by messengers from the palace.
Because the emperor's birthday banquet was to be held in the evening, everyone entered the palace, and they were placed in the backyard of the palace by the people sent by the queen's mother, and they prepared meals for them kindly.
After everyone rested, they hurriedly tidied up their appearance and went to meet the queen.
The old lady took Aunt Qiao, Lu Xueyi and Lu Xueling to the queen's East Palace, and told them many times along the way to abide by the rules.
There are many rules in the palace, and there are naturally many things that the old lady has instructed, and this way has not stopped directly, and everyone listened to the silent nodding, all firmly in mind.
Because Master Lu is an official, he is not suitable to live in the harem, so he left early, and he should have gone to meet the saint at this time.
Lu Xueyi walked quietly behind the old lady and didn't speak.
She was really in no mood to speak, and her eyes secretly observed her surroundings.
This was the first time she entered the palace and looked at the tall city wall in front of her, the red walls and golden tiles, which were particularly spectacular, and she silently admired in her heart.
With the backward construction technology of the ancients, it is rare to be able to build such a huge palace compound.
Lu Xueling quietly observed Lu Xueyi for a while, and found that she didn't make a sound, so she obediently followed behind everyone.
The people sent by the queen mother brought them into the inner courtyard. Lu Xueyi found that there was a big difference between the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, and everything was delicate and small.
The flowers and plants in the courtyard are also made particularly beautiful by the servants. The floor is spotless, which shows how diligent the people are cleaning.
"The old body (courtiers, concubines) see the queen's mother!" Everyone entered the hall and saw the queen sitting upright, and saluted respectfully.
The queen smiled slightly, and her eyes exuded the majesty of the mother's world.
I saw her raise her hand and wave it lightly, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be polite, sit down." ”
The queen's voice was not in a hurry, and she was calm, Lu Xueyi couldn't help but raise her eyes to look, just met the queen's eyes, and quickly lowered her head in a panic to avoid the scrutiny.
"The old lady is very old, and it is really hard for you to go on such a trip." The queen mother said that she was hard, but her face seemed to be taken for granted, and this was the pride of the royal family.
When the old lady heard this, she immediately smiled and hurriedly said: "Thank you for the queen's understanding and love, and the old lady is grateful." ”
The old lady and the queen gossiped for a while, and the queen suddenly turned her head to look at Lu Xueyi and said, "This girl is chubby, she likes it when she looks at it, I don't know what it's called." ”
When the old lady heard this, she hurriedly introduced: "This is the teacher's granddaughter, who has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, and today she can enter the eyes of the queen's mother, which is also her blessing." ”
The queen mother nodded slightly, her face softened a lot, and she raised her hand and beckoned to Lu Xueyi: "Come here, let the palace take a good look." ”
Lu Xueyi was originally walking the priest, looking at the furnishings in the house, and suddenly heard the queen mother's call, and hurriedly took two steps forward and saluted respectfully: "Xue Yi has seen the queen mother, the queen mother, Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”
