Chapter 42: An Can Tell Me from Male and Female (3)
The sisters didn't speak for a while, and the frame that carried the show girls into the palace arrived. Chen Jingyan got into the 'special car' of the show girls under the almost flattering service of a group of peopleβit was a green felt mule cart, with a small flag planted on it according to the regulations, and it was written that the daughter of a certain flag and such a person was written.
Like Chen Jingyan, although her father died, her sister is being favored by the prince, so she is naturally taken care of, everything is ready, and she only needs to take the waiting maid to the car. And those who have no power or power in their families naturally only have to hire their own cars, and even have to go to the household department to line up to receive this small flag.
- As long as Hongtian does not die violently for a day, he, Prince Heshuo and Prince who dared to beat the Minister of Military Aircraft at the Great Imperial Conference, will still have a deterrent effect.
However, the process of this draft is really long and terrifying, which cannot be changed by the people at the bottom no matter how they stutter. When Chen Jingyan listened to the shouts of the people outside in a daze, lifted the curtain, held the hand of the little girl who came to serve, and walked out of the car with the cat's waist, the sky was already a little bright.
Chen Jingyan flicked the non-existent dust on her body with a handkerchief, stood with the same batch of show girls, and then walked to Shunzhen's door together under the guidance of a eunuch with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes. There are already a few groups of show girls chattering there, but Chen Jingyan has only been in the flag for less than a year, so unfortunately, there is no one who is familiar with it.
At this time, a silver-gray cheongsam grandmother walked over, asked the eunuch in charge of guidance, and then walked to Chen Jingyan's side and saluted, "The girl's name is Jingyan?" β
Chen Jingyan saluted back to Mama, "Hello Mama, I'm Chen Jingyan from the White Flag." β
"Hello girl, you, you don't have to queue up here, and the prince has already asked Lafayette for his grace, and Lafayette sent me to pick you up. Later, I will follow me, go inside and wait, and when I hear my name, I will go in and salute the emperor, and that's it. Rest assured, it is the time when the emperor is in a good mood. β
"Thank you, Mama. Dare to ask Mama's surname? β
"Don't dare to be, don't be surnamed Cui, you can just call me Mama Gui."
"Mama Gui, I'm bothering you."
Chen Jing's face remained unchanged, she glanced at the few show girls around her whose faces had changed slightly, and followed this Gui Mama to the back door openly.
Skirting the back alleys of the Forbidden City, Mama Gui finally stopped in front of a smaller palace courtyard.
With a wave of her hand, Mama Gui summoned four palace maids, instructed them to lead Chen Jingyan to the side hall next to her to rest, and served her well, and said to Chen Jingyan, "It's still early, girl, you can rest inside, just wait for me to call you in a while." β
ββββββββββββ
According to the previous order, twenty or thirty people came to the palace gate in batches, and then knelt in the courtyard and waited, and a small eunuch with a scroll called him, only three or four people at a time, and he took them in.
After calling for a few waves, Mama Gui, who didn't know where to go, reappeared, greeted the little eunuch who came out of the main hall, and asked, "How is the emperor's mood?" Has the anger of the early dynasty disappeared? β
"Oh, isn't this Mama Gui?" The little eunuch pulled her over with a flattering look on his face and whispered a few words. So Mama Gui led Chen Jingyan out of the side hall and knelt in the courtyard with this wave of show girls.
Not long after kneeling, the little eunuch reappeared, opened the scroll again and called for his name.
"Gao Shi, the daughter of Gao Jin, the governor of Jiangnan River!"
"Therefore, the daughter of Chen Shiqi, the imperial envoy of the left vice-capital, Chen!"
β¦β¦
Chen Jingyan came out of the queue, and the other three called show girls entered the hall, bypassed a dark and quiet corridor, waited in the side door for a while, and heard a few applause, the little eunuch turned around and beckoned, and entered with a few show girls. Chen Jingyan secretly glanced at the trance bright yellow figure on the throne of His Majesty Dan, and suddenly felt that he seemed to know each other vaguely.
The man was clear in appearance, noble in bearing, and the more he looked at his appearance, the more familiar he became, but he couldn't remember where he would be, and in an instant he was in a trance, as if he was in a dream, and he only felt that the person seemed to be a person close to him, and then he was far away. Inexplicably, Chen Jingyan was in a trance, but she could only stand still with her head bowed and a few show girls facing the emperor according to etiquette.
"Huh?" Emperor Qianlong on the throne suddenly had some doubts, and somehow, a show girl below actually had a sense of intimacy in his heart. He was confused, but he smelled a faint strange aroma, and his spirit couldn't help but be greatly invigorated.
His movements were a little bigger, and the Queen Mother, who was in a slightly sideways position, turned her head and looked at Emperor Qianlong with concern. Qianlong waved his hand slightly, signaling that he was fine, and at this time, the eunuch standing on the side also stepped forward with his hands down, waiting for the emperor's orders.
Qianlong pointed to the unusually familiar girl in flag, and the eunuch hurriedly unfolded the list, checked it carefully, and shouted: "The daughter of Chen Shiqi, the left deputy envoy of the Han army, is white and white, Chen Jingyan, is thirteen years old!" β
Chen Jingyan's thoughts turned a few times in her heart, but she did not hesitate at her feet, twisted her body and walked forward a few steps, knelt down on her knees, made a big salute, and said crisply:
"Concubine, the daughter of Chen Shiqi, the imperial envoy of the Han army, the left deputy capital of the white flag, Chen Jingyan knocked to see the emperor, the queen mother, and the queen mother, may the emperor be blessed and prosperous, and the two queen mothers will be blessed and healthy."
The more Emperor Qianlong looked at it, the more he felt that Chen Jingyan was familiar, and felt that the beautiful face was more and more pleasing to the eye, and he smelled his own quite seductive aroma, and he already had a good impression of Chen Jingyan.
"Chen Jingyan? Raise your head and take a look. β
Chen Jingyan raised his head and looked at Emperor Qianlong without fear, the emperor's eyes were also looking at Chen Jingyan, and when he saw Chen Jingyan's light makeup, he couldn't help but be happy.
"What do the two queen mothers think?"
The Queen Mother, who was sitting on the left, nodded, and said, "Not bad." β
The Queen Mother Niu Colu Zhen Huan, who was sitting on the right side, said with a smile, the emperor likes it, and finally he didn't come in vain, and he got such a jade man. β
Qianlong nodded and instructed the eunuch: "Pass the decree, give Chen Jingyan the title of "Jing", and give him the title of nobleman on the same day, choose an auspicious day to enter the palace, and live in Chuxiu Palace!" β
"Concubine Xie Emperor Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Soon, Chen Jingyan calmly took the jade plate given to him - the ancestral system, the winner gave the jade plate, and the loser gave the palace flower - walked out of the palace gate, looking as usual, without sadness or joy. As for what she thinks in her heart, it is really difficult to see her mind for a person who has already practiced joy and anger.
