Fourth, Concubine Min came to the court (4)
Jingren Palace is very close to Yuqing Palace, that is, the palace before and after, the prince also has the suspicion of fake public and private affairs, he took Concubine Min to Jingren Gate, and went to Yuqing Palace by the way, it is not an easy thing to read, although he has been in front of the emperor for many years, but the emperor's big and small matters, in addition to returning to the harem, have to participate in the reading, and now I have to accompany Concubine Min for a while, but now I have to go back to Yuqing Palace immediately, the emperor is still studying, and I can't leave people, he looked at Concubine Min and stopped talking, it seems that there is a lot to say, But in the end, he just told his mother, "The queen mother is a very strict person, if she is not gentle enough with her mother, please be patient."

The prince left, the apse of Yuqing Palace, found his own place to change clothes, changed into Chinese clothes, and the companion on the side was brought out from North Korea, very loyal and reliable, at this time I couldn't help but persuade the prince Li Kun, "Why didn't the prince tell the princess Niangniang about the idea of going to the kingdom?" You must know that the prince has made it clear that he will not let North Korea interfere in the marriage. ”
Shizi changed into a Chinese robe and horse coat, and shook his head, "Mother's character is very stubborn, I don't dare to express my opinion in front of her, if I bring up this matter myself, then my mother will think that I am in the middle, so I still forget it," Shizi sighed, "I don't know what my mother thinks, do I have to get married when I am old?" I think I'm living a good life now, working hard every day, and then seeing the market everywhere when I'm free, China is so interesting, everything here is very fresh, it's dizzying. And our North Korea is really a 'hermit country', it has been out of this trend of the times for too long, and it is so old together, and the same is true of reserved thoughts, my mother just wants me to go back and get married, but in this world, there are far more interesting things than getting married. ”
Concubine Min waited in front of Jingren Gate for a while, a thin and tall eunuch walked out with a few little eunuchs, Concubine Min had already been told by the prince, knowing that this was the big eunuch Xing Caifu in the queen's palace, and the affairs of Jingren Palace were all taken care of by him, so he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bent down and bowed to say hello. Xing Caifu stepped aside, and hurriedly said, "It's time to torture the slave." ”
Concubine Min smiled slightly, "The wife of the outer domain was supposed to serve the queen's mother, father-in-law, you are a powerful person by the queen's side, it is really hard, and you should be courteous from me." ”
Concubine Min's Chinese is extremely smooth, in fact, in this era of North Korea, all the upper-class people are very proficient in Chinese, so the two sides communicated, without any obstacles, "Don't dare to be," Xing Caifu stretched out his hand to invite, "The queen is already waiting for you, the princess." ”
Concubine Min didn't dare to slack off, and entered Jingren Palace with two Shang Palaces, there is a stone in Jingren Gate that shines on the wall, which is a little mottled, and the corner is also very broken, Concubine Min is a little puzzled, this is the palace where the queen lives, how can there be such a dilapidated thing.
Xing Caifu explained, saying that this is an antiquity of the Yuan Dynasty, Concubine Min walked into the atrium, and saw Jingren Palace with five rooms, the top of the yellow glazed tile, the eaves placed five beasts, and the eaves Shi single Qiao single ang five steps on the bucket, dragon and phoenix and Xi color paintings. The front and rear eaves of the bright room open the door, the second room, the tip of the door are the sill wall, the sill window, the door and window adopt the double cross four rhombic flower fan type. There is a big platform in the atrium, and Concubine Min is not good at asking what this platform does, so she thinks about it and uses it for acting.
There are two rows of palace maids standing under the eaves of the main hall, low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, there is no cough, there is a red thick cloth curtain at the entrance of the hall, Concubine Min is standing on the ground, an older palace maid on the steps, walked down the steps of white marble, and blessed Concubine Min, "Please enter the palace." ”
Concubine Min walked up the steps, the palace maids helped to lift the curtain, the outside was still a little cold, but it was warm as spring, the earth dragon burned extremely warm, and the Ming room was hung with the Qianlong Emperor's imperial inscription "Zander Palace" plaque. Concubine Min raised her head and saw a woman in palace clothes sitting on the throne, hurriedly straightened her clothes, and walked to the middle of the main hall under the hostage of the two Shang Palaces, squatted down, put her hands flat in front of her, her hands were opposed, she raised her forehead, put down her hands upright, and her whole body bent down and fell to the ground, and performed the highest etiquette in North Korea, Fushou Corning. ”
I saw that the queen was wearing a silver rat gray Ning silk robe, the robe was embroidered with light white and lilac magnolia flower branches that were suitable for the occasion, very elegant and pure, with a burnt blue bead flower on her forehead, and a tassel hairpin with a ruby peony flower was inserted in the Feiyan bun behind her head, and a big flag head was combed on it, which was also embellished with a blue bead phoenix, and the queen's face was covered with a light gouache, and the red lips were very bright. ”
Concubine Min thanked her and sat down, and the queen continued, "It's not popular to give big gifts now, so if the princess wants to see her in the future, there is no need to make a big gift, not to mention, you have such a big gift," the queen's eyes flashed, "It's extremely respectful." ”
There seems to be half a sentence in the back, but the queen didn't say it, Concubine Min was a little confused, as long as she bowed her head and said yes, the palace maids brought tea, and the queen smiled indifferently and invited Concubine Min to drink tea, "The princess came all the way, but she was a little tired, right?" ”
"Back to Niangniang's words," Concubine Min said, "the big ship of Shangguo is very stable, it only took a little time from Seoul to Tianjin, and then took the train into Beijing, the train is also very fast, there is no fatigue, the concubine is very convenient to get to Beijing." ”
Concubine Min put her hand under the hanbok and said respectfully, "It's convenient," the queen smiled slightly, "I heard that His Royal Highness the prince wants to ask for the construction of a railway from Shengjing to Seoul, and the emperor seems to have approved it, if it is suitable, it can be handled next, the prince is the lord of benevolence and righteousness, although in China, he is still thinking about the development of North Korea." I don't know what the princess means. ”
"The prince is indeed benevolent and righteous," Concubine Min didn't hear the news for the first time, so she was somewhat prepared and said calmly, "The kindness of the Tianyi Dynasty, the concubine could not be shirked originally, but the terrain of North Korea is very steep, and it is not very convenient to build a railway." ”
