Mrs. Xie has not come back to her senses since she entered the palace gate.

The new clothes on his body were just made after arriving in the capital. When she came, she also brought several clothes, and when she arrived in the capital to see the world, she found that the good clothes made in her hometown were nothing when she arrived in the capital, and even her widowed cousin wore more decently than their mother and daughter.

How can you enter the palace like this?

The mother and daughter let go of their hands and feet, bought clothes, made clothes, and jewelry. Mrs. Xie chose this one from the two sets of clothes she had made and put it on. The new clothes are better than the old ones, but they are a little tight, and the neck is uncomfortable.

From the time she entered the palace gate to the present, Mrs. Xie's heart was pounding.

This is entering the palace?

This is the Imperial Palace!

In her life, where would she have thought that she would enter the palace one day? The bluestone paves the flap palace road, and the high palace wall that completely blocks the sun's rays, the people who come and go are not ordinary people.

Mrs. Xie couldn't breathe, her hands were clenched into fists, she only felt that this body didn't seem to be her own, and she would only follow the palace maid who led the way step by step.

The more she walked, the more she felt that her clothes were too tight and her shoes were too unheeling, and the more she walked, the more she felt that the majesty of the palace was so overwhelming that she couldn't straighten her waist and raise her head.

The more I walked, the more I regretted it.

Back then, it was said that it was to select beautiful women to enter the palace, but I heard that it was selected to be a palace maid, and she couldn't come back if she went, and she couldn't see her family for a lifetime, and she might die in the palace in three or five years.

In addition to the family business set by her father who died early, there is a more important reason for the family business of the big house. Although it is said that there is no male in the big house, just such a girl as Xie Ning, but she has to get married, right? No matter how little the dowry is, it will take a share. It's best to send it to the palace, it's a hundred, Bai saved the dowry money, and made room for his daughter.

If she had known that she was here to enjoy the blessings of entering the palace and could serve the emperor as a concubine, how could she send that girl? This kind of good thing must be kept for his daughter.

The original planned good family affair failed to come to fruition, and the girl who thought she was short-lived and died early became a mother. Hearing this news, Mrs. Xie was a hundred unbelievers. But after repeated inquiries, this statement is not only not a lie, but is becoming more and more true.

The hearts of the family were suddenly warm!

Count up, when has the old Xie family ever produced such a nobleman! I heard that the emperor now has only one sick and crooked son, if the old Xie family really has a prince, maybe he will be able to ...... in the future That's a lot of money!

The Xie family couldn't sit still any longer.

This all says that one person has attained the Tao and the chicken dog ascends to heaven, and they are all serious relatives! The girl of the Xie family is out of work in the palace, why can't others make a ready-made official?

Mrs. Xie's heart was like a mouse's paw scratching constantly. One moment hot, one moment cold. I knew that there was such a good thing, and I really should send my own daughter to the palace, but now I let the girl in the big house get cheap. She is not a good embryo, her father and mother are short-lived, and since she was born, it seems that the Xie family has not encountered many good things.

Before Mrs. Xie entered Beijing, she didn't expect that it would be so difficult to enter the palace, and she had to toss and learn what palace rules for so many days. Especially when kneeling and bowing, Mrs. Xie was dizzy and dizzy, and her knees were swollen and she almost couldn't walk.

She couldn't help but ask Shang Gong, who taught the rules: "Is it possible to see that my own niece and nephew still have to kneel three times and bow nine times?" ”

Kneel her? That girl is not afraid of losing her life! There is no time to kill my father's and mother's things.

Shang Gong, who teaches the rules, has a coffin face: "When you see Xie Meiren, you don't have to kneel three times and bow nine times, but you also have to learn it, what if you meet the emperor along the way?" If you can't learn it, if you mess up the rules and etiquette, you will have to cut off your head. ”

See the emperor?

Mrs. Xie was shocked at once, and honestly continued to practice kowtowing.

She thought about what she wanted to say in advance, and saw what Xie Ning was going to say. must be the first to take the lead, can't let her put on a concubine's shelf, give her a dismount first, she is her own aunt, how can the elders be disrespectful?

I have to mention that she doesn't forget her roots, without her mother's family relying on her glory and wealth, it won't last long. How can there be a unique reason in the world? Someone outside the palace has to help me. Taking advantage of the fact that she is now pregnant, hurry up to blow the pillow wind to the emperor and ask for some real money.

The man in his own family does not have the ability of the dead ghost boss, and he has been living in the yamen as a small official for most of his life, and the Xie family has long been gone, and it is going downhill day by day. But now that I have a niece and daughter, it's right to bring up my uncle and find a powerful official with oil and water.

But these thoughts and these thoughts, when she entered the palace gate, Mrs. Xie couldn't remember them, her mind was a mess, and her ears were buzzing, as if something was ringing all the time.

entered the palace gate of Yong'an Palace, bypassed the main hall, and arrived at the apse where Xie Ning now lives and sleeps. Xie Ning sat in the middle of the seat, and through a curtain, Mrs. Xie couldn't even see her figure clearly. The palace maid who led the way pressed her shoulder slightly, and Mrs. Xie couldn't help but kneel down, bowed according to the Shang Gong teaching, and said the familiar cliché in her mouth.

"Folk woman Xie Liu, please be a nobleman."

is different from Xie Liu's, although there is a curtain, but from the side of the curtain, you can see the people outside the curtain very clearly. Shainin was still a little stunned when he heard her voice.

Although my uncle's family and Xie's family are not the same town, they are the same state capital after all, and the township pronunciation is similar. Xie's official dialect is not familiar, and the local accent is very strong. Xie Ning hadn't heard the familiar country voice for a long time, and although the person kneeling outside the curtain was the aunt who didn't like to be taken care of by dogs, she was still distracted by the sound she heard.

This voice reminded her of the old house of her uncle's hometown, when the morning was almost dawn, the subordinates of the family would get up early, carry water, chop wood, wash and cook, and through the courtyard wall, you could hear the voices of the neighboring women in the alley, loud and spicy, and speak quickly, like setting off firecrackers.

Even my aunt speaks with a similar accent.

Everyone else said that the strict father and mother were down-to-earth in the Lin family. My uncle is a good man, and he is very talkative. My aunt is more powerful, and she is in charge of the whole family, inside and out.

Xie Ning came back to his senses and said softly, "No courtesy." ”

Outside, Xie Liu was pulled up by the palace maid.

She was a little dizzy, just straightened up and wanted to look left and right, but when she met the cold gaze of the palace maid, she hurriedly lowered her head again.

"My aunt came all the way to the capital, and she worked hard all the way, how is your family?"

Xie Liu stammered: "It's not hard, it's not hard, the family is safe." The nobles are in the palace, everything is okay? ”

The palace maid and an elderly Shang Gong on the side frowned when they heard this, and Xie Liu suddenly became panicked again.

"I'm fine in the palace."

These words are all official clichés, and Xie Liu still has a lot to say below, but it is like something pressing on his chest, but he just can't say it.

She couldn't even see the people behind the curtain, and she couldn't even shout the phrase "eldest nephew" when it came to her mouth. Not to mention chattering and complaining.

The palace maid gave her a round stool to sit on, and handed over another cup of tea. Xie Liu thought that this was a tea cup used in the palace, the tea drunk in the palace, she didn't taste what it was like to drink it, but the hand holding the tea cup trembled, and the bowl and the bowl lid clanged.

Xie Ning asked, "Sister-in-law came to the capital alone?" Where do you live now? ”

Xie Liu finally picked up the conversation and hurriedly said, "I brought your eldest sister and sister here, and now I live in my mother's relative's house. Ouch, the capital boundary is really expensive, the inn really can't afford to live, and it is not a case to rent a house to live in the New Year. Good niece, you are now a noble person in the palace, a mother. The family is so poor and sour, this is a shame for you. ”

Her words were glared back by the palace maid with a cold glance, and Xie Ning was not surprised to hear such words. It had been expected for a long time, and she even smiled a little.

Xie Liu really thought the same as she thought.

"There's something I want to ask my aunt. When I left home, there were two cuckoos and autumnal equinoxes with me, where are they now? ”

"Huh?" Xie Liu was stunned: "Those two girls? I don't remember much after all this time...... It seems to be doing work in the Zhuangzi, right? ”

"Auntie, think about it again, I've been thinking about the two of them a lot in the past few years."

The two of them are the girls of the Lin family, and the deed is not in the Xie family, and it is not easy for the Xie family to sell and dispose of them. But they are alone, they are really bullied, locked up, and they have no way to ask for help.

Xie Liu really didn't think about the two little maids for a while. After sending Xie Ning away, the two girls still stayed at Xie's house. Of course Xie Liu couldn't let them run away, if they went back to Xie's house to tell them about the matter, the Xie family was afraid that they would come to trouble immediately. Xie Liu asked people to take the two girls to the village village in a bundle, in short, they couldn't let them shout indiscriminately.

She didn't want to lock up those two girls for the rest of her life, as long as Xie Ning was sent away, into Beijing, and into Lu, then it would be useless for the Lin family to come to find trouble again, could it be that they could get along with the emperor? Can you still break into the palace and get people back? At that time, they are not afraid that they will find trouble, in the final analysis, it is a great thing to be able to enter the palace to serve the emperor, and it is not reasonable for the Lin family to find trouble.

Xie Liu's family and the old lady of the Xie family at that time had a hard time coming up with this good method, and once and for all, they didn't leave any troubles, but fortunately they caught up with the selection matter, and they usually didn't want to find such an opportunity. If you use other methods to deal with this girl Xie Ning, even if it is okay for a while, it will be troublesome for the Lin family to come to the door in the future.

What happened to those two girls Xie Liu really didn't care, the Lin family had written a few times and let them prevaricate, and later sent someone to visit, Xie Liu also stopped and coaxed them to fool the past.

They only didn't expect that Xie Ning would really become a noble person and win the favor of the emperor.

Now that Xie Ning suddenly asked about her girl, Xie Liu's heart trembled, and he was afraid that she would be looking for trouble by turning over the previous accounts. Without waiting for Xie Ning to ask another question, Xie Liu hurriedly said: "Eldest nephew, your grandmother and your uncle have always been thinking about you. This time, the old lady also wanted to come with her, but the weather was cold and the road was difficult to walk, and she didn't come until the New Year. Usually at home the first day afraid not to talk to you several times, I heard that you are out of breath, become a nobleman, the old lady is happy for a few days and nights have not fallen asleep, to go to the temple incense to make vows. The old lady feels so sorry for you, you can't forget all your grandmother's kindness. ”

What kind did the old lady of the Xie family have for her? What's the situation? Shainin has never been close to this grandmother, and now that he thinks about it, he can't even remember her appearance clearly. The deepest impression is that she has a dark forehead on her head, a thin face, a skinny and skinny skin, and two deep figure-eight lines on the side of her mouth.

Born from the heart, the old lady of the Xie family is indeed mean and cold, and she is very stingy, she has never had a good face for Xie Ning, and Xie Ning has never heard a word of concern from her mouth in her memory. What kind of kindness Xie Liu is talking about now is really ridiculous.

Xie Liu's words became more and more fluent, and he gushed endlessly: "Your eldest sister's life is hard, she was originally talking about marriage, who would have thought that she was injured when she went out, and she was injured when she was in a flying disaster, and she didn't say anything about the boss's sin, and her relatives were yellow." Those people bullied our Xie family and had no backing, they really blinded their eyes. If we knew that there were nobles in our family now, they would definitely fly over and bite like flies. Niece, you are now a nobleman, you have seen a lot of the world, and you know a lot of people, but you want to help your eldest sister and show her a good family. If your eldest sister and sister marry well, it will also be of great help to you. This one slap doesn't make a sound......"

Xie Ning listened to her gushing more and more proudly, and pressed her with filial piety and family affection outside the words, as if she would become a big rebel if she didn't agree.

Shainin had long thought that she would say that.

The Xie family didn't even have any sincerity for her, knowing that she was favored now, and they were bent on getting benefits from her.

What happened to the cuckoo and the autumnal equinox? Did my uncle and aunt know that she was sent to the palace by the Xie family? It's time for the letter she wrote a year ago to be delivered now, and I hope my uncle and aunt won't be too shocked when they receive it.

She misses her loved ones so much. However, these people with the surname Xie are not in the category of relatives she identifies.

The more Xie Liu said, the more he couldn't take it, and he had unabashedly revealed his original purpose, begging for money, begging for officials, and begging for all kinds of benefits. It's like Shainin has become a cornucopia that can ask for whatever she wants, and she can get anything she wants.

The palace maid on the side interrupted Xie Liu's words, and her voice was cold and did not fluctuate much: "The hour is coming, and the master should rest." ”

Xie Ning said: "It's a long way to go back from the capital, my aunt takes care of herself all the way, go back and say hello to the old lady for me, so that her old man can take good care of herself." The palace has palace rules, so I won't keep more aunts. ”

Xie Liu was stunned, she had been talking for a long time in vain, and she didn't have any real benefits, now that she was asked to go, how could she leave obediently?

"Eldest nephew, why did I leave when I just came? How bored you are in the palace alone, since I have arrived in the capital, I can come into the palace to talk to you more often in the future to relieve your boredom, and your big sister and sister you haven't seen yet. ”

Xie Ning didn't bother to pay attention to her, Fang Shanggong commanded loudly: "Good students send people out." ”

Xie Liu wanted to say more, but the two palace maids set her up on the left and the right, and she was sent out of the door almost without her feet touching the ground.

Xie Liu went to Yong'an Palace and didn't even see Xie Ning's face, he went in and came out, and he woke up when he was sent to the palace gate.

Why did she come out empty-handed? She stuffed a lot of money in order to enter the palace, and she always thought that she could get it back, but now?

After sending Xie Liu away, Xie Ning used half a bowl of bird's nest, but he really had no appetite to eat.

Maybe it was her mood fluctuations just now, and the child was connected to her heart in her womb, and she was also uneasy. Shainin could feel him punching and kicking his legs inside, as if he had turned over?

She touched her stomach and comforted softly for a while, not knowing if it was really useful to do this, maybe the little ancestor in her stomach was tired and stopped by herself, and it was finally more than just now.

"You're not happy to see her, are you? I don't want to see it either. Xie Ningmo rubbed his stomach and whispered: "But I guess she won't go back to her hometown obediently, and she will have to see her in the future." ”

After seeing the prosperity of the capital, my eyes are also lost and my heart is confused, where do I want to go back to my hometown? Not only will they not go back, but there may be others who will also come to the capital, such as her grandmother, who is said to be loving and generous.

There was no reply to the previous letter, and Shainin decided to ask someone to send a letter to his uncle and aunt in the next two days.

Qingmei opened the cabinet door to take things out, and whispered: "I really didn't expect this Mrs. Xie to be like this, no wonder the previous master refused to mention these people in the family." ”

Qinghe's voice was also low: "Who doesn't have a few bad relatives?" Without your father and mother, who can treat you sincerely? ”

Those of them who entered the palace to serve as palace maids were younger when they entered the palace, and they were not the same as the selected harem beauties. Qinghe is older than Qingmei, entered the palace earlier than her, and has been in the palace for a longer time. The impression of his hometown and relatives has long been blurred. It is said that the palace maid will be released from the palace one day, but if she is really released, does she still have a home to go back to? has spent half her life in the palace, even if she goes out one day, can she still get used to the days outside the palace?

Qinghe remembered what Hu Rong said, and went to him to ask for details in his free time after lunch.

"Who is the lady of the concubine's family who came to the palace to ask for peace, have you inquired?"

Hu Rong really didn't disappoint her: "I asked, I heard that there were three people coming, and there were two young girls among them, one was Concubine Shu's cousin, and the other was Concubine Shu's niece." ”
