Chapter 96 First entry into Kunning Palace

On weekdays, the court meeting and the big court on the Shuowang day, the civil and military officials walked through the left and right gates and the noon gate of Chang'an. And the princes and nobles were ordered to enter the court and order the ladies to congratulate them on every big festival, and they went to Dong'an Gate and Donghua Gate. But no matter which door it is, for Chen Lan, it is the first time in her life - although she has visited the Forbidden City in her later life, the palace that has lost its owner is like a tree without roots, even though it is majestic and magnificent, after all, it lacks a bit of momentum, but now it is different.

This is the era when the Constitution of Heaven is truly spoken.

Since the Yangning Marquis Mansion is in the west city, and the Dong'an Gate is in the west of the outer imperial city, so after she and Chen Xi went out with the eunuch from the Kunning Palace to get into the sedan chair, they followed the Huangqiang North Street to the half side of the fire road, and through the gap in the sedan curtain, they could just see the high wall and the guards with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry. Wait until you enter the Dong'an Gate, change into the green mantle sedan chair that has long been parked here, cross the Jade River around the imperial city, and then pass the Dong'anli Gate, the Dongshang Middle Gate and the Donghua Gate, this is the inner palace city.

Chen Lan had heard of the great grace of riding horses in the Forbidden City before, and after entering Dong'an Gate, because the green mantle sedan chair was specially made, she couldn't look quietly on the way forward, but just got off the sedan chair in front of the Donghua Gate, she found that it was not uncommon for officials to ride horses in the Outer Imperial City, but now as soon as she entered the Donghua Gate, the situation was very different.

In addition to the eunuch who originally came to Kunning Palace to deliver the decree, and the four small chamberlains he brought, a female official from Kunning Palace was also added, eight palace maids, and more than ten eunuch chamberlains, one of whom was even more luxurious than the previous eunuch. Seeing that the eunuch who passed the decree saw that the faces of this group of people changed suddenly, Chen Lan faintly felt that there must be another mystery. But before she could look at her two more times and speculate for a moment, the female official came forward with eight palace maids to salute.

"Slave Kunning Palace Ye Shangyi, I've seen all the young ladies."

The Six Palaces Bureau was established at the beginning of Taizu, although it once replaced the eunuchs in charge of the palace's large and small functions, but after all, because it was a woman's inconvenience, over the years, the power has naturally gradually shrunk. Compared with the other four bureaus, the Shanggong Bureau and the Shangyi Bureau have always been directly subordinate to Kunning Palace, so their weights are naturally very different. This Ye Shangyi is about in her early forties, wearing a black gauze hat with beads on her forehead, hanging bead earrings, a gold-edged purple group-collared narrow-sleeved shirt embroidered with small sunflowers, a red skirt with beaded sewn gold belts, dignified eyebrows and thin grease powder, and a little scrutiny in her eyes.

Although the other party claimed to be a slave, Chen Lan and Chen Xi did not dare to underestimate it at all, and they were busy and polite. After seeing each other, he said a few words, and listened to Ye Shangyi politely invite them to stay in the courtyard on the left for a while, while Chen Lan agreed, he quietly glanced at the two big eunuchs who were still talking over there, and then he and Chen Xi walked over there under the guidance of the two palace maids.

Xu is because in the past, this was the place where he rested when he entered the palace, and the furnishings in the room were not very gorgeous at first glance, but after sitting down, Chen Lan found that these half-old and not new things were all embroidered very exquisitely, only the color was a little dull. The vase on the low table, the bronze tripod on the big case, and the various decorations on the multi-treasure grid, with her eyesight, she can't see how much value it is, but it is expected that there can be no fakes in the palace. After looking at it from the corner of his eye for a while, Chen Lan glanced at Chen Xi, but found that he was still the same lost soul as before, and he couldn't help but become more and more suspicious.

Chen Xi: What's going on?

I don't know how long I waited, but there was a sound of talking outside. Chen Lan, who raised his head, saw the door curtain move, but the one who walked in first said Ye Shangyi, but a girl dressed in red and dressed in an extremely gorgeous fashion, followed by a palace man. The two looked at each other, she vaguely felt that people were a little familiar, and when she saw the other party was also surprised, she was suddenly surprised.

It is rumored to be the fourth lady of the Runing Bo family, Yang Qian, who is quite loved by a certain concubine in the palace!

The palace man who came in pointed to the first chair in his right hand, bowed down and said, "Please wait here for a while, Fourth Miss." ”

Yang Qian glanced at the Chen family sister casually, and when she saw that the palace maid turned around to leave, she hurriedly shouted, "This sister, please stay!" ”

Chen Lan saw Yang Qian catching up with the first few steps, and then whispered something to the palace maid, and deliberately turned his back to the two of them, as if there was some quiet little movement, and after a little thought in his heart, a smile appeared on his face. Sure enough, after a while, Yang Qian turned back and sat down calmly, and the palace maid walked out of the house like the two palace maids who brought the two of them in before.

Although the three people in the room had all seen the plum blossom viewing party in the Jin Palace's mansion before, none of them had the intention of speaking first, so this huge place was even quieter than before. After a while, two more people were ushered in. This time, Chen Lan recognized that they were the two daughters of the Dongchang Marquis Mansion faster than the first time. After all, the Dongchang Marquis Mansion of the Marquis of Yangning Mansion was originally a world friend, and her former righteous rescue of her brother was staged in the Dongchang Marquis Mansion, and she once heard Chen Bing and these two mocking herself behind her back, how could she forget them.

This time, the two of them came in, as well as the previous Ye Shangyi and the big eunuch in red, but the other palace maids and chamberlains did not come in. Seeing her come in, Chen Lan and Chen Xi and Yang Qian both stood up. Ye Shangyi glanced at everyone lightly, and then bowed his head slightly and said, "Now that everyone is here, please go to Kunning Palace with the slave maid and Gonggong Jia." ”

From Donghua Gate to Kunning Palace, you have to go through the Shengqing Gate after the Imperial Pharmacy, and go all the way to the high wall to block the road, before turning west into the Longzong Gate. Although he had to pass through the high walls next to the three major halls along the way, he was either a chamberlain or a palace maid on the left and right, Chen Lan had the idea that more things were better than less, so he simply lowered his head and walked his own way, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Chen Xi's face extremely uneasy, and Yang Qian often looked left and right because of the number of times he entered the palace. As for the two of the Dongchang Hou family, it was because they were too attentive to the soles of their feet, and they were obviously two sisters-in-law, but they didn't even exchange a single look.

Kunning Palace is in the north of Qianqing Palace, sits in the north and faces south, there are three gates, the left and right are Yongxiang Gate and Zengrui Gate respectively, and the middle gate is Kunning Gate. I don't know which emperor's inscription on the blue background and gold characters on the middle gate is the emperor, Chen Lan glanced at it very quickly before entering, and saw that the three words were upright, but it seemed to be too regular, so it was a little less stylish. Entering the Kunning Gate, they were faced with a large hall located on the white jade cornerstone, but Ye Shangyi, who only led the way, did not take them to the main hall, but led them directly to the east eaves of the main hall.

"This is the Qing Leisure House, please wait here for the meeting."

Qingxuanju is not only the east eaves, but also the main hall of Kunning Palace, and when he arrived here, even Yang Qian, who was full of energy, settled down. After sitting down, although there were palace maids serving tea, I saw everyone holding tea and drinking it slowly, but they didn't even make the slightest sound, and it was expected that no one had the heart to taste the good tea of Kunning Palace, even Chen Lan was the same.

It took half an hour to come in from Donghua Gate alone, and then to meet and go out, the time spent here was gone, and the end of drinking water can be imagined. Even if she doesn't want to be brilliant, she never wants to be ugly.

Time passed as if it were a test of patience. Just when Yang Qian couldn't hold her breath and suddenly put down the teacup, the thick door curtain finally moved, and in addition to Ye Shangyi, there was also a girl who probed her brain. As soon as he recognized the person who was as red as Yang Qian, but had a cool spot that he didn't have, Chen Lan was stunned for a moment.

"Aunt Ye......"

Ye Shangyi was dragged by Zhang Huixin like this, and immediately showed a wry smile, and then opened her mouth and said gently: "The queen announced that she saw the third lady of the Dongchang Hou Mansion, the fourth miss of the Runing Bo Mansion, and the fifth miss of the Yangning Hou Mansion. ”

Seeing Ye Shangyi's expression, Chen Lan knew that he was the only one who missed himself, not because the queen had other arrangements, but because most of Zhang Huixin was doing some tricks behind his back. Sure enough, no one else who was called could take care of her at all, even Chen Xi was stunned, and then followed Ye Shangyi out of the door, while Zhang Huixin stayed where he was and didn't move. When they were all gone, and the palace maids who were waiting in the house also tiptoed out of the house, Zhang Huixin ran up with her skirt and a cigarette.

"Oh, I'm really anxious, fortunately the emperor is gone, I grinded my mother and the virtuous concubine again, and I lied in front of the queen's mother, so I finally slipped out to see you!"

Zhang Huixin grabbed Chen Lan's hand, and put her index finger on her mouth without waiting for her to speak: "Don't say it yet, listen to me finish speaking." Originally, a few days ago, I was going to post to invite you to come to the house to play, but there were many things at home, and my father ordered the current department to supervise the exam, so I myself was detained at home and couldn't move, only to hear my mother say that you have made a lot of contributions this time...... Good sister, the queen has a very good temperament, if you ask you later, you just tell the truth, don't hide it. Also, your wife went to see Concubine De. My mother asked me to tell you that although your wife has her own calculations, it is nothing. ”

Zhang Huixin said so much in one breath, Chen Lan listened and pondered, and when she finished speaking, she probably understood the meaning. Deliberately went to a place like Qingxianju to teach Ji Yi, how could she not know that this was not Zhang Huixin's own idea, but the acquiescence of the county lord of Yixing, so she sincerely thanked her, and said that she had received an invitation from her and Lu Dali, and she would definitely go next month.

"Zhengbin is about the eldest princess of Longyou, as for the praiser, she is the princess of Jin, and the secretary is the third sister of my family, if it weren't for ...... Alas, don't talk about this, and Lu is married, which has been the case since ancient times, fortunately everything has my mother. When it came to getting married, even if it was Zhang Huixin's big grin, his face was slightly red, and then he gently shook Chen Lan's hand and said, "My mother and Concubine Xian are both accompanying the queen's mother, with them here, nothing will happen, and someone will come to see you later, you just have to rest assured that you will go in with me." ”

Even if he was a little apprehensive at first, but with such a hearty friend who specially ran out to advise, Chen Lan only felt more confident and sure in his heart, so he nodded with a smile, and then pulled out his hand to hold Zhang Huixin's hand.

PS: There is one more chapter in the evening. But tomorrow will not work, and there are guests at home coming over, so I can only change one chapter tomorrow......
