Chapter 260: The Imperial Palace

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, Wen Yi got up, burned incense, bathed and freshened up, and changed into a dress from Wupin.

She was really not the only one who was summoned to the palace to see the family of the soldiers. When she walked into a palace room under the guidance of the palace people, she found that there were seven or eight women wearing imperial costumes, and there were more than a dozen people wearing imperial costumes, the leader of which was the wife of General Shangguan who had seen on the wedding day.

Mrs. Shangguan was talking to an acquaintance, and when she heard Wen Yi saluting her, she hurriedly turned around and helped Wen Yi up with a smile: "I was thinking just now, you must be here too, but why haven't you seen anyone yet?" Just thinking about it, you're here. He also introduced to acquaintances: "This is General Koyanagi's new wife, I told you last time." Then he said to Wen Yi: "This is Huang Shuren, the wife of Huang Shenjiang." ”

Wen Yi hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, Huang Shuren helped her up with a smile, and said kindly: "No need to be polite, I have already heard that General Xiaoliu has made great contributions this time, among the younger generation, he is the most outstanding, and his future is bound to be limitless." ”

Although Wen Yi was happy for Liu Dongxing in his heart, he still remembered being modest: "You praised it falsely, although my father-in-law was lucky enough to make a small military exploit, it was also thanks to the guidance and help of all the adults and colleagues, how dare you monopolize the credit?" "There are still many Liu Dongxing's comrades and family members in this house, if she is careless for a while, she will offend people at some point.

Huang Shuren couldn't help but smile at Mrs. Shangguan when she heard this: "Look, such a clever person, you still told me that she was very shy, and she was obviously coaxing me." ”

Mrs. Shangguan glanced at her: "You don't even look at what kind of place this is, you obviously dug a pit and asked people to jump in, how can she be clever?" Turning to Wen Yi: "Don't be careful, she has always spoken like this, in fact, she has no bad intentions, but she has a bad mouth." ”

Wen Yi was amused in her heart, and said respectfully: "I didn't pay much attention, and what I just said was true." My father-in-law is still young, and his experience is insufficient, and he has to rely on the support of the generals and adults. ”

She spoke interestingly, and Huang Shuren was also happy to hear it, that is, the wives of other low-grade young generals around, and also put aside the resentment that Fang had just because Huang Shuren raised Liu Dongxing but ignored her husband, and the scene became harmonious for a while, and some people came forward to talk to Wen Yi, and Wen Yi took the opportunity to meet several military dependents.

After everyone gossiped for a while, General Xiao Ruan's wife arrived. She and Mrs. Shangguan are siblings, they are closer than others, and they are familiar with Huang Shuren, the people in the house, she can call the name of the ten **, those military dependents saw this, and felt more and more that the Huguo Mansion was amiable and respectable, and they all stepped forward to say hello. Wen Yi already recognized this Second Lady Ruan, so she naturally saw the ceremony, but when she saw this scene, she hesitated a little, and after hesitating, she stepped aside under the push of everyone, intentionally or unintentionally, and quietly watched others speak, and did not speak. Huang Shuren accidentally caught a glimpse, so she paced over with a smile and asked, "Why don't you go over?" I heard that you are also familiar with the Ruan family. ”

Wen Yi smiled and said: "I know the two young ladies of the Ruan family, and I have also visited Second Madam Ruan before, but all the sisters-in-law want to say a few more words to Second Madam Ruan, how can I disturb?" ”

"Oh?" Huang Shuren tilted her head to look at her, "Second Lady Ruan has always been kind, so everyone likes to be close to her. I heard that General Xiao Ruan has great respect for his wife, and he used to follow his wife's advice and promote him to the middle and rear of the army. Although your general Xiaoliu has made great contributions, his foundation in the army is still a little shallow, since you are familiar with Mrs. Ruan's wife, why don't you say a few more words to her, maybe it will help your family's future of your father-in-law? She nodded her chin in the direction of the crowd: "Look, how enthusiastic everyone is, they may not have known Second Madam Ruan before." ”

Wen Yi's heart sank, and she only felt that this Huang Shuren was talking a little strangely, but before she could think about it, she replied: "Since Second Lady Ruan recommended to the general to advance in the army, that little general must have something outstanding, but he is just missing Bole." Madame is also to avoid the pearl from dust. As for my father-in-law, everyone knows about him, so why worry about not having Bole? For now, he only needs to wait for the opportunity and make meritorious contributions, so that everyone can see his ability, and there is no need for me to say more good things for him in front of his wife. ”

Huang Shuren smiled slightly: "That's what I mean, but I'm happy to see you, so I'll say a few more words." ”

Wen Yi showed a grateful smile at her: "Thank you for your kindness, I really appreciate it." ”

At this moment, the female officials in the queen's palace came, she first invited the second lady Ruan, Mrs. Shangguan and other generals and ladies to go to the main hall to meet the queen, and then asked the others to wait in the house, waiting for the call, before leaving, she left two palace people, these two palace people quickly explained to everyone the etiquette when Jin met.

Wen Yi silently followed everyone to learn the ceremony, and her performance was not outstanding, but she also remembered showing a polite smile to others from time to time. She hadn't forgotten what Huang Shuren said, Dongxing was fighting on the front line, so she naturally couldn't drag him back in the rear, so that he would offend his comrades for no reason.

After learning the ceremony, everyone stayed in the house and waited for the summons, but this wait, it was enough to wait for more than an hour, and it was already three poles in the sun outside the palace, before the palace people came to announce the decree and ordered the ladies to go to the main hall to see him.

The queen is doing jiao in the Tai Palace, wearing a phoenix crown dress, accepting the worship of the people's orders and orders. Her attitude was very kind, and she smiled to inform everyone of the news of the victory in Northern Xinjiang, focusing on more than a dozen military attaches who performed well in this battle, and the families of these military attaches were basically in the palace. Everyone seemed to hear such good news for the first time, and their joy was overflowing, and they also said that this was the emperor's kindness.

Wen Yi acted with everyone, because there was also a fourth-rank military attache and two fifth-grade military attachés in the team, so she lined up behind the three of them, and lowered her head slightly, which was not conspicuous. However, Liu Dongxing's outstanding performance made her also receive the queen's blue eyes: "I heard that in this battle, a young general in my dynasty captured one of the enemy leaders of the barbarians, and he was still a son of the royal family, this is the first time, and the family of that young general is there?" ”

Wen Yi had to bow down: "The concubine visits the queen's mother, and the mother is a thousand years old." ”

The female official beside the queen reminded softly: "This is Gu Shi, the wife of General Wu Luo Liu Dongxing." ”

The queen smiled and nodded: "Liu Yiren is really young. I heard that General Liu was a famous family, and he was born as a new martial artist, while Liu Yiren was married in a hurry before her husband went on the expedition, and the husband and wife separated before they got married...... You must be feeling bad too, right? General Liu has made great contributions on the border, and his future will be limitless, and it will not be in vain for you to be wronged. ”

Wen Yi replied calmly: "The concubine is afraid. It is the duty of a soldier to fight for the country, and it is the luck of the courtier to be able to contribute to the country. How dare you say that you have been wronged? ”

"Well said." The queen smiled slightly, "It is indeed a famous family." He also said to the daughters: "I hope you can always remember and urge your husbands to do more for the country's merits and share the emperor's worries." "All the ladies should worship together.

The queen said a few more words of admonition, and then ordered the people to retreat. Wen Yi walked out of the palace gate with the female dependents, and some palace people came to ask a certain Gongren who was related to the harem concubines to leave, and the rest of the people couldn't help but look at each other, each with their own thoughts, and after a while, one of the female dependents of the Wupin general smiled and said: "It seems that the nobles have nothing else to say, sisters, let's go back." ”

Everyone responded, and then invited the palace people to lead, slowly walked in the direction of the palace gate, and only after walking not far away, there were palace people coming, but this time they came to invite Wen Yi.

Wen Yi recognized that it was Xiao Bai, and she was a little surprised in her heart, so she didn't have to say more, so she said goodbye to everyone and followed Xiao Bai in the direction of the East Palace. Leaving everyone else to think about it, someone whispered everyone's thoughts: "What...... Liu Yiren still recognizes the crown princess? Another humanitarian: "When I was waiting for the Niangniang to be summoned in the side hall, I saw Huang Shuren and Liu Yiren standing together and talking, maybe Huang Shuren said something in front of the crown princess?" You must know that the eldest son of the Huang family is the companion of His Royal Highness the Prince. Some people began to envy Wen Yi: "It's really good luck, Liu Yiren is clearly seeing Huang Shuren for the first time today, why did he fall for Huang Shuren's eyes?" actually introduced to the East Palace, it seems that General Koyanagi is really going to come out. ”

No one answered, and everyone fell silent again, and once again headed towards the palace gate, and no one knew what they were thinking.

Wen Yi followed Xiao Bai to the East Palace, just walked with his head down, did not pay attention to the surrounding scenery at all, and arrived at the apse after a while, and the crown princess Du Yuanru had been waiting in the palace for a long time.

I haven't seen her for a few months, and as soon as the crown princess saw Wen Yi making a big salute, she hurriedly ordered Xiaobari to help her up: "Why be polite? I know you're here, and you've sent all the grandmothers around you away, so let's just treat them as if they're still at home. ”

Wen Yi got up with a smile and said, "Etiquette must not be wasted." I entered the palace today, and I don't know how many times I did the big gift, why be lazy this time, but tired His Highness to call people talk? ”

Du Yuanru laughed: "That's the case, forget it, come here, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Wen Yi only dared to sit down on the first chair on her right, and then opened her mouth to greet: "Your Highness has always been good?" Looking at His Highness's complexion, it is much more ruddy than before. ”

Du Yuanru's face flushed slightly: "Really?" Maybe it's because the water and soil in the palace are different, right? Xiao Bai snickered beside her, and was glanced at by her: "What kind of strange appearance, is it possible that the water and soil in the palace are not good?" Xiao Bai smiled: "The water and soil in the palace are naturally good, and the people in the palace are even better." Du Yuanru's face turned even redder, but her expression quickly returned to her original state, and scolded her with a smile: "Don't be flamboyant, knowing that I have a guest, why don't you serve tea soon?" Barberry smiled and went.

Although Wen Yi didn't know why they were laughing, looking at Du Yuanru's appearance, she also guessed that she was living a good life in the palace, and her relationship with the prince was also very good, so she was relieved for her. At the beginning, Du Yuan replaced the maiden niece of the prince's biological mother, Zheng Guifei, to marry the prince, and she was already inferior emotionally, and the prince's relatives were afraid of the Huguo Mansion, if she couldn't get the prince's respect, the future would not be easy, so it was better not to marry into the palace.

When the tea came, Du Yuanru invited Wen Yi to eat tea first, and then began to ask about the experience of the farewell, sighed, and said with some hesitation: "My mother came to the palace to see me and talk about you...... The houses in the other village have been cleaned, and my mother is waiting for you to come, why didn't you go to the Hou Mansion? ”

Wen Yi smiled slightly: "I know His Highness's kindness, it's just ...... If you can avoid it for a while, you can't avoid it for a lifetime, but it's better to be a hundred, but it's also clean. ”

Du Yuanru sighed: "That's the same, it's just ...... The marriage was done too hastily. After a pause, "When I got the news, I originally wanted to fulfill the preface and add makeup to you, but because of His Royal Highness, I had to ask my mother to come forward......"

Wen Yi said with a smile: "I was overjoyed to receive the gift from the Hou Mansion, how dare I get Longwangshu?" I understand Your Highness's hard work. ”

Du Yuanru shook her hand and lowered his voice: "That one...... It's gone, and there must be no more delusions. ”

Wen Yi said lightly: "If this is the case, it will be a great grace." ”

Du Yuanru patted her hand, wanting to say something, but smiled, still didn't speak, but there was a faint regret in his eyes, but he quickly changed to a smile: "Something to tell you." I heard that the emperor intends to reward General Koyanagi, but he is just a fledgling, and he has made great contributions, at most he is only promoted to the fifth grade, otherwise if he makes meritorious contributions in northern Xinjiang one after another, it will not be good to reward again, and he intends to reward his parents and grand......parents."

Wen Yi's eyes lit up: "Really? ”

Du Yuanru nodded and said with a smile: "The emperor has already issued an edict, and the Ministry of Rites is drafting an edict, which will be promulgated soon." ”

Wen Yi was about to recite the Buddha almost on the spot, thinking of the anger she received in Shangshu Mansion yesterday, she couldn't help but say more: "The Ministry of Rites shouldn't be mistaken, right?" My father-in-law's own grandmother is my grandfather's wife, and her maiden name is Rong. ”

Du Yuanru was a little puzzled: "These ...... Naturally, the Ministry of Rites can't be mistaken, why would you ask that? ”

Wen Yi's mind was in a flash, and he had already made up his mind: "Your Highness, do you know that my father-in-law was originally Liu Shangshu's nephew?" My father-in-law and Liu Shangshu were brothers. ”

Du Yuanru nodded, but immediately felt that it was wrong: "Didn't you say...... Liu Shangshu is the grandson of the Yao family......"

Wen Yi was waiting for her sentence: "Your Highness, I don't know if you have time to listen to me talk about the past of the old man?" ”。.。
