Chapter 125: The Ceremony

Shaohua complained to Ling for help, but the answer she got was naturally no!

Although the Ling family felt honored and proud that their two daughters could enter the palace to be the emperor's eldest daughter, the fly in the ointment was that even Jinhua had a share. Thinking that he finally had the opportunity to dress up his two daughters and send them to the palace to show off, and now he had to bring a copy of Jinhua, the Ling family couldn't help but mutter.

Dissatisfied is dissatisfied, in the end, it is the face of the Li family, the limelight of the second room, and the Ling family still carefully dressed up the three girls. Although Shaohua was not happy, as a last resort, she quickly came up with something that made her happy.

For example, the eldest daughter of the emperor is the sister of the second prince, Yan Kaizhi and Hongyi have such a good relationship, and Lanzhi is also one of the prime ministers, so she is basically 100% sure when she sees Yan Kaizhi.

Just when the Ling clan was busy beckoning the tailor to make them new clothes, the palace had already sent the old palace maid who was in charge to teach them. The emperor's knees are thin, and most of the princes and princesses born in his early years died young, and only Hongwen Hongyi died four princesses and one unborn prince. Later, Hongwen Hongyi was born successively, and it took two years before a third prince was born, but unfortunately at the age of three, Chang smallpox died. It wasn't until the eldest daughter of the emperor Rouwan and the fourth prince Hongwei were born that the harem gradually flourished.

Therefore, Princess Rouwan is a pearl in the palm of the hand for the emperor, a treasure in her arms, and compared to the emperor's favor for Princess Anjing, it can only be said that it is more than that.

Because of this, all the ministers in her ceremony were the daughters of ministers of the third rank and above in the court, and Zhengbin invited the old lady of the feudal kingdom to dispatch, and the praisers who assisted Zhengbin were Laneige and another delicate and charming little lady. Shaohua and the others are only in charge of the tray, but because they are in the harem and there will be imperial concubines and concubines present at that time, it is not easy to complete the simple work.

Aunt Shao, the palace maid, is responsible for teaching them what to say, what to do, where to gather, and what to say. As soon as they heard that they were studying under Mama Rong, their attitude immediately became respectful, and Shaohua was a little surprised by Mama Rong's majesty. As a result, Aunt Shao from the palace said that she used to serve with Mama Rong, and since she was a lady taught by Mama Rong, there must be no problems. It's just that among this group of ladies who entered the palace, the three members of the Li family and the lady of another minister's family have never entered the palace, so the palace will send her for the sake of prudence.

Unexpectedly, because of Mama Rong's relationship, they who received special care did not know how useful Mama Rong's strict teaching was until they entered the palace.

Especially when they entered the palace to meet the imperial concubine in advance, their thoughtful courtesy, elegant posture, and calm conversation made the nobles who greeted them a little surprised. After all, in comparison, they are indeed the first to come back to the new hands, but they can do this calmly, without being arrogant or humble, and I have to admire Li Ge Lao for really teaching well. The other lady is the lady of General Pingnan's family, and they follow Shaohua to learn from them, although they can't be calm and calm, at least there are no mistakes.

Laneige was worried that Shaohua and the others would not be able to do well at first, but when they met the palace concubines, they were so easy that the big stone in her heart was also put down.

I didn't know that Shaohua was already so nervous that he was sweating, and he didn't even dare to sweep the afterglow towards Wanhua, completely treating himself as a vase. As everyone knows, Wanhua and Jinhua are the same, they can't remember their mother's teachings at all, they just want not to make mistakes, and they don't want to be brilliant. Especially when I saw the daughters of other ministers, they were either outstanding, or elegant, or temperamental, but no one would care about them at the ceremony, and the eyes of the day were only Rouwan.

The imperial concubine is a woman in her early forties, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a kind and majestic face, and exuding the temperament of a mother in the world. She looked at the girl kneeling in front of her with soft and affectionate eyes, and turned her head to look at the man beside her, her eyes were full of reverence and love, just like a young girl in Huaichun saw her sweetheart. The man sensed her gaze and turned his head to smile at her.

Shaohua quietly raised his eyelids and looked at him, slightly surprised in his heart. The emperor is not as fierce and vicious as she had in her mind, a big man with a round head and thick arms, but like a delicate and elegant scholar. The figure is slightly thin, and the face is slightly old, but a pair of sharp eagle eyes, like a torch, force people to dare not look directly. Afraid of being discovered, Shaohua hurriedly withdrew his gaze, wearing the palace uniform of an awkward celebrant female official, smiling, his eyes drooping slightly, holding a plate and standing quietly beside him.

The Emperor turned his head and searched the room, a little curious as to where Fang Cai's intense gaze came from.

After the ceremony was completed, the emperor had to deal with government affairs, and after a few words with Rouwan, he left in a hurry. The imperial concubine led a large group of ladies and nobles to the imperial garden. Now is the time when the lotus flowers are in full bloom, it is rare that the weather is sunny and refreshing, and the feast is set up in the lotus pavilion in the hibiscus pavilion. It is said to be a pavilion, more than a dozen tables can be placed here, surrounded by water on three sides, and as far as the eye can see, lotus leaves He Tiantian.

Before the feast began, a group of palace concubines and ladies accompanied the imperial concubine to chat in the pavilion, and the young girls gathered in groups of familiar sisters. It's rare to be able to enter the palace, and the girls happily gather together to enjoy the flowers and chat, and secretly observe the other ladies.

"That's it?" Shaohua, who was freed, finally dared to breathe a sigh of relief. Originally, I wanted to ask Lanzhi to come over and talk, but when I found that she and Princess Rouwan were tired of being together like sisters, Shaohua immediately dispelled the idea. However, she was a little disappointed that she couldn't find Yan Kaizhi's figure, and there were young girls everywhere, and she couldn't help but be a little happy.

"I don't know, but I was almost scared just now, that's a saint!" Wanhua was so nervous that her hands were cold, but her little face looked very excited, and she squeezed Shaohua's hands hard.

"I know, I know, you let go of your hand first." Shaohua broke his hand away from Wanhua's clutches, compared to the awe and fear just now, Shaohua felt that Wanhua was just as difficult to deal with when he was excited. Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of you, it is the lotus leaves that are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red. Turning his head inadvertently, he didn't expect to meet Song Yun's sharp eyes, Shaohua reacted, and it was a matter of course that Song Yun would come. Seeing her talking to the person next to her, her eyes didn't stop glancing this way, Shaohua was afraid that she would come over and make trouble, so she pushed Wanhua and said, "Third sister, let's go over there and have a look." ”

As soon as they took two steps, a little palace maid came to block the way, "Two ladies, please don't walk around, the imperial concubine and the others will invite the lady to go and ask questions." Shaohua blinked, looked back at the Guanlian Pavilion, and sure enough, he saw two ladies standing between the crowd, one of which seemed to be the ladies of General Pingnan's family.

As if someone had said something funny, all the nobles covered their mouths and chuckled, and exchanged their heads with each other. The other lady was okay and dealt with it calmly, while the lady in General Pingnan's Mansion did not have Shaohua and them by her side, she looked flustered and kept her head down.

Looking at the laughter in the pavilion, Shaohua felt faintly uneasy, just now she clearly saw the third princess and the imperial concubine sitting together, the two snuggled up to each other and talked, and the uncle and concubine seemed very close.

"Huh? What about Qi Niang? Shaohua looked left and right, and found that she couldn't find Jinhua's figure, she was surprised, "Third sister, Qi Niang is gone." "This is not as good as in the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, if you get lost in the Imperial Garden and bump into the nobles, they are accompanied by a large family.

When Wanhua heard Shaohua's exclamation, she immediately became excited, and searched around, "Don't make a noise, maybe she is just looking at the flowers somewhere, get lost, don't disturb the nobles in the pavilion." Shaohua also knew it in her heart, but when she raised her eyes and looked around, there were groups of three or five in the Furong Pavilion, and there were girls dressed in the same female official service everywhere, and it was really difficult to identify Jinhua at once.

"Third sister, why don't we split up and walk around the outside, whether we find anyone or not, we all wait under the tree opposite." Shaohua pointed to a white magnolia tree blooming not far away, Wanhua nodded, and then the two walked away.

Shaohua finally knew why she was faintly uneasy just now, and she had already known that she was staring at Jinhua and not letting her leave her sight.

Among the ladies who entered the palace today, only Jinhua was a concubine, but her performance was no worse than others, so she was quite eye-catching along the way. Jinhua did not have inferiority or timidity, but raised his chin proudly and let others look at him. She also secretly teased Wanhua that Jinhua looked like a proud peacock, and Wanhua said: "She is like a rooster at most." looked at her appearance again, and thought that Jinhua was the most afraid of big cocks, and Shaohua laughed that she was too exaggerated.

Because Jinhua has been following them step by step, Shaohua didn't think much about it, and suddenly turned around and found that Jinhua didn't know when he lost his trace.

Her steps were messy, and she walked briskly, searching for Jinhua's figure, and beware of encountering people. Suddenly, a shy voice startled Shaohua's nerves.

"Have you heard, the eldest prince will come later!"

"What about the second prince?"

"You are so stupid, Princess Rouwan is the sister of the second prince, how could he not come."

"In that case, General Yan will come too?"

"It turns out that you are still thinking about him, you are really not shy, but I heard that he has someone in his heart, I am afraid that others will not be able to enter his eyes."

Shaohua and the other girl fell silent at the same time, and after a long while, they only heard the other party say quietly: "She is already married, is she still reading?" The voice seemed very sad and poignant, and it sounded like he was also in love with Yan Kaizhi.

"Okay, don't think about it, Yan Kaizhi didn't let go of her when she got married, if she didn't marry, it wouldn't be your turn. Let's go, the imperial concubine has summoned us. ”

Listening to the farther and farther pace, Shaohua's mind was a little confused: Yan Kaizhi has someone he likes, and the other party is still a married woman. Because of this, he refuses to accept anyone, and no one cares?

Shaohua took a deep breath, rubbed his face, and forced himself to smile. Even if Yan Kaizhi has a sweetheart, didn't she say just now that everyone is already married, so she doesn't need to worry too much about this kind of thing.

Without allowing her to think about it, a familiar figure flashed in the corner of her eye, and Shaohua turned his head, as if he saw the other party trotting to the flower and tree road not far away.

That's the way out of Hibiscus Pavilion!

Shaohua's heart sank, and he immediately caught up.
