71 The old man in the palace
The seventh day of the eighth lunar month
It is advisable to marry
This year is very coincidental, the chrysanthemum banquet and the Mid-Autumn Festival collided on the same day, the palace and the palace are busy, some large families have hung up lamps and candles in front of the house, the people are happy, peaceful and prosperous.
Duan Rubian was wearing a light green robe, holding his head high, with a stack of books and a bowl of water on his head, his hands crossed on his abdomen, the smile on his face was neither deep nor shallow, just right, the lotus steps were heavy, and the water above his head did not splash a drop.
The grandmother beside her couldn't help nodding frequently, and sighed secretly in her heart, she was originally sent to teach Duan Rufang court etiquette, and she inevitably made mistakes when facing the saint, but now it seems that Duan Rufang's innate ladylike temperament is afraid that the palace concubine will be inferior by three points.
Walking back to the table around the courtyard, Duan Rubian raised his hand to take down the book and bowl on his head, and smiled at Mama Qian, "Does Mama have any other instructions?"
Mama Qian leaned over and saluted, smiling, "The third miss is serious, if the third lady is like an old slave and says a few more words, I'm afraid it will be a snake to add to it."
"Mama works hard" Duan Rufang stepped forward to help Mama Qian, took off the bracelet on her wrist and put it on Mama Qian's hand, "Rufang and the fifth sister entered the palace for a few days, and they also bothered Mama to take care of it"
Mama Qian smiled knowingly, rolled down her sleeves to cover the valuable jade bracelet, "Third Miss, don't worry, the old slave knows in his heart, it's not too early, the old slave has to go to the fifth lady to have a look, and I will leave first."
"Mama walk slowly" Duan Rubian sent Mama Qian away with a smile, smiled, turned around and went back to the courtyard, with a hidden expectation in his heart, this time when he entered the palace, many acquaintances should also meet.
Following
At the beginning of the sunny sky, it was as clear as a wash
Duan Rubian led Lu Fu and Qing He towards the door of the house, the Duan family was already waiting there in front of the house, and even the Shui family was standing at the door in gorgeous clothes.
Duan Rubian picked up the hem of her skirt, stepped forward quickly, and bowed, "I've seen grandmother, father, mother, and aunt"
"Why did you get up so late, how long have you been waiting for your father-in-law?" Duan Linxiu said lightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction, and secretly thought in his heart that sure enough, the concubine just couldn't support the wall.
Duan Rufang didn't feel pain or itching, and raised a bright smile, "I was too nervous yesterday, I slept late, I didn't get up this morning, and I won't next time."
Father-in-law Gao pondered for a while, grinned, and stepped forward a few steps, "I've seen the third miss, the third miss, it's not too early, let's go on the road with the miscellaneous family as soon as possible, the queen mother is still waiting for you."
Duan Rufang was flattered, and hurriedly returned the salute, "There is a father-in-law", and then got on the sedan chair with the support of the maid, Qinghe and Lufu were allowed to accompany him, the sedan curtain fell, and the father-in-law Gao shook off the dust, and shouted loudly, "Get up the sedan chair and enter the palace-"
The two gorgeous sedan chairs walked one after the other, and they passed into the distance, and Duan Linxiu and his party watched the two go away without saying a word for a long time.
"I haven't seen the Queen Mother for a long time, I'm going to enter the palace soon" Shui Shi opened his mouth lukewarmly, and he didn't glance at Duan Lin Xiu, it seems that his anger has not disappeared, Duan Lin Xiu heard this, turned his head and smiled meaningfully
"Don't think I don't know what you want to do...... Come on, the eldest lady is tired, take it down and look at it!"
Shui Shi's eyes widened, "Duan Lin Xiu, you dare to imprison ......" She was only halfway through her words, and she was covered by the maid next to her, the maid had practiced martial arts, and she was subdued after a while as a weak woman, at this time, Shui's heart was cold, and unconsciously, she suddenly felt ...... Duan Linxiu is different......
The palace is not far from Duan's mansion, set off at noon, and when they arrived at the palace, it was almost dusk, Duan Rubian and Duan Xuan came to the palace where they stayed first under the guidance of Gonggong Gao.
Duan Rubian had been a queen in his previous life, and he was familiar with the path in this palace, and when he looked at the palace gardens he passed by, he only felt depressed in his heart, and a strange feeling came from him.
Gao Gonggong led the two to the gate of Xichen Palace, this palace was the palace where Xiao Yuqing's extremely favored Concubine Mei lived in the previous life, and Concubine Mei had been against her for a lifetime in her previous life.
"The two young ladies will rest for a while, and the miscellaneous family will immediately go to the queen mother to report, and the rest of the young ladies have arrived at the residence, there is a poetry competition tonight, and the two young ladies will prepare as soon as possible."
"Poetry Competition?" Duan Xuan frowned, "Before entering the palace, no one told me that the two of them had such a thing......
"Fifth Miss doesn't know, this is the rule......" Gao Gonggong said with a sharp voice, "In order to prevent some young ladies from cheating and spending a lot of money to buy poems, the Queen Mother specially instructed to report this matter to the ladies after entering the palace"
Duan Rubian touched the bauhinia on his sleeve, smiled, and slowly stepped forward, "My father-in-law worked tirelessly to send us here, this is some of Rufang's intentions."
As he spoke, he took out a purse from his sleeve and stuffed it into Grandpa Gao's hand, Grandpa Gao checked it, with a flattering smile on his face, "Third Miss, this year's poetry meeting, you can take a look at the lotus"
Duan Rubian lowered his head and smiled lightly, "Congratulations to my father-in-law"
Watching Gonggong Gao walk out of Xichen Palace, Duan Rubian turned around and glanced at Duan Xuan, "Dress plainly in the evening poetry, purple, red, don't wear it"
Duan Xuan nodded obediently, and entered the room with the maid, Duan Rubian sat on the chaise longue in the palace, glanced coldly at the palace, and raised a deep smile.
midnight
Because he wanted to prepare for the poetry meeting, Gao Gonggong did not come to greet Duan Rufang, but a young father-in-law surnamed Lin diligently led Duan Rubian and Duan Xuan towards the scene of the poetry meeting.
Duan Xuan walked behind Duan Rubian, separated by a distance, Su'er looked left and right, saw that no one was paying attention, and quietly lay in Duan Xuan's ear, "Miss, the slave maid specially found a few poems with lotus in case of emergency"
Duan Xuan couldn't help but smile, "Do you really believe what Gonggong Gao said?"
Su'er was inexplicable, and scratched her head, "Why don't you believe it?" The third lady gave Grandpa Gao so much silver, Grandpa Gao is by the Queen Mother's side, what he revealed, it must be right."
Duan Xuan shook his head, "You are still not smart enough, even if the third sister is rich, there are people outside the world, there are heavens outside the sky, which of all these official eunuchs does not want to win the attention of the Queen Mother, it is all your thoughts, you go to bribe Father-in-law Gao, Father-in-law Gao is naturally happy to accept it, as for the exam questions, he just fabricates one casually, if he is not right, it is a big deal to say that the Queen Mother temporarily changed the exam questions, even if he doesn't do this, those young ladies will not do anything to him, if the Queen Mother knows that someone is making small moves behind his back, it will only be more unhappy"
Su'er nodded in confusion, and suddenly wondered, "In that case, why did the third miss give Gao Gonggong silver? The third miss is so smart, she must have guessed it a long time ago."
Duan Xuan lowered her head and was silent, in fact, she was also very puzzled in her heart, she had been thinking about this question for an afternoon without any results, Duan Xuan looked at the back not far away, narrowed her eyes, why in the end?
"Miss Duan San's posture of heaven and man, the Queen Mother is sure to be happy when she sees it"
Duan Rubian was thinking about the problem, and suddenly the little eunuch next to him smiled and said this, Duan Rubian chuckled in his heart, turned his head to look at the little eunuch, and after concentrating for a while, his eyes suddenly widened, and he quickly turned his head to cover the layers of killing intent in his eyes.
"But did the slave say the wrong thing?" Xiao Linzi was a little flustered, his heart trembled slightly, he finally asked Gonggong Gao for such an opportunity to please the Duan family, if he failed like this, wouldn't his road to being a high-ranking official stop here?
Duan Rubian pulled out a smile and glanced at Xiao Linzi, "You are very good at pleasing people, I think you will be able to do something in the near future."
Xiao Lin Zihan laughed a few times and lowered his head, but there was a strange look in his heart, these words...... It sounds familiar.
Duan Rubian turned his head and sneered, the hand under the robe was pinched by her, I haven't seen you for a long time, Gonggong Lin, Xiao Linzi, do you still remember the queen Duan Rubian who was down-and-out in the cold palace and was bullied by you like that?
When they met in their previous life, the two of them also opened like this, and what she just said was exactly the same as in her previous life, Xiaolinzi, in this life, you don't want to be like that again, the glory and wealth of your previous life were given to you by me, and in this life, I want to get it back little by little!
