Chapter 139: The Banquet of the Beautiful Palace (3)
Since the Zhang family has Zhang Yihui, who is the king of Yi, and Zhang Yizhi, who is the prime minister, the carriage will definitely not wait outside the palace according to ordinary people, and the father-in-law who was waiting outside the palace walked straight and led a group of people into the door.
Of course, the man of the Zhang family did not follow, but went to another place under the guidance of another father-in-law.
There is nothing wrong with the female relatives seeing the lady in the palace, and the man going to see the emperor.
Xiao Qi sat in the carriage, Zhang Li on the left, Liu Yeyu in front of him, and Liu Yunhua sat on the main seat of the carriage. As for the other young ladies who were all accompanying their mothers, Zhang Li was the only one who had to come to their carriage to rub the seats.
"Big sister, aren't you with your aunt?"
Zhang Li pinched Xiao Qi's cheek and said, "You little girl, can you forget your aunt, my mother is still an official in Yipin Haoran?" ”
Xiao Qi said innocently: "I remember." ”
"Your aunt and uncle will first go to the main hall to meet His Majesty the Emperor, and according to the rules of our Ministry of Rites, women with official positions should accompany their husbands in front of the palace."
The so-called Haoran is the official title of women after the founding of the country, although there is no real power, but it has a fortune.
The record of the first Dacheng Haoran is long gone, and it seems that not only the royal family is secretive about it, but also the historians who are desperate to write the real history, and there is no record at all.
There is only one sentence "Haoran is the only one in the world." "It's just a hasty sentence.
If Zhang Zhuxuan lives in the palace permanently, then Zhang Li can be regarded as a frequent visitor in the palace, especially in this harem, with the title of the only disciple of a medical saint Dangma, it can be said that there is no hindrance in the harem.
From the queen concubines in the harem to the palace maids, how can no one get sick, so Zhang Li can be regarded as a popular person in the eyes of the nobles in the palace.
Even those nobles who have never been sick also try their best to deal with Zhang Li, even if they are fine, it is inevitable that their mother's family will get sick, if it is not for people who have a grudge against the Zhang family, they all have good intentions towards Zhang Li and accumulate a good fate for themselves or their mother's family.
Zhang Li lifted the curtain and looked at the situation outside, and said, "We are about to arrive, please ask Aunt Liu to follow me later..."
Then Zhang Li gently held Xiao Qi's hand and said, "Of course, Xiao Qi will follow me." ”
Liu Yunhua had no expression, nodded lightly, and then looked at Liu Yeyu, Liu Yeyu looked at Zhang Li with an expectant face, as if to say, "What about me?" ”
Zhang Li ignored Liu Yeyu's expression, and Liu Yunhua said, "Just take her." ”
Xiao Qi turned his face away angrily, although he was reluctant but agreed with Liu Yunhua's suggestion, Zhang Li raised her eyebrows and said, "Then the princess just..."
Liu Yeyu made a triumphant gesture and said, "Okay."
Zhang Li added in a deep voice: "Although I don't know what agreement you have reached with my master and Aunt Liu, I still advise the princess not to do anything crooked, let alone hit our family Xiaoqi with crooked thoughts." ”
Zhang Li rubbed Xiao Qi's shoulder affectionately, making Liu Yeyu show a little jealousy.
When they arrived at a place, the carriage of the Zhang family stopped, and first a female official came to invite Zhang Zhuxuan's mother and daughter away, thinking that it was the Xuan Concubine Niangniang who asked her to leave to catch up on the old days, and Zhang Zhuxuan looked at the sisters apologetically when she left.
Today's queen mother actually sent someone to ask Zhang Li and Liu Yeyu if they wanted to go to Fenglaiyi to sit, but Zhang Li and Liu Yeyu politely rejected the queen's kindness.
Although it seemed that she didn't give the queen a little face, Zhang Li showed great difficulty, and she didn't know what to say to the female officer from behind, so she let the female official leave with a smile.
Liu Yeyu walked to Zhang Li's side and asked, "The eldest lady actually has a way not to give face to the queen, and can let the female officials in her palace leave like this?" ”
"Guess?"
Liu Yeyu dragged her hand to her chin and thought for a moment and said, "Could it be because the queen mother is sick?" ”
Clapped his hands and said: "So this is the reason why you have been married for so long as the emperor of the country, but you have no heirs under your knees?" Sure enough, it's the most poisonous woman's heart.
But if your queen is ruthless, it is impossible for the ladies in the palace to be unable to have children, so obvious, even if you are a fool, you will know that it is the queen who did it, if it weren't for your emperor Chengguo...! ”
Zhang Li glanced at Liu Yeyu, who had been thinking blindly there, but Xiao Qi kindly reminded her, also because they and Liu Yeyu walked in, and a female official came over.
Liu Yeyu sneered, raised his head and saw a large number of fathers-in-law and palace maids coming, unable to hide his smile, and did not dare to say anything.
The father-in-law and the palace maid who came can also be regarded as acquaintances who received the Zhang family, especially one of the female officials has a great relationship with the Zhang family, this time His Majesty the Emperor invited her to come out to receive the Zhang family's family, but it gave the Zhang family enough face.
This female official's surname is Zhang, and of course she is not a woman in the Zhang family, otherwise she would not have been reduced to being a palace maid in the palace.
It's just that this palace maid surnamed Zhang had some kindness with His Royal Highness King Yi in the early years, and this palace maid was in the palace of the Empress Dowager.
The ladies of the Zhang family led the younger generations to salute the old woman and said respectfully, "Aunt Ning." ”
"It's been a long time since I've seen the two ladies."
Female official Ning first greeted the ladies politely, and then looked at the young ladies of the Zhang family, but when she saw Xiao Qi and Liu Yeyu beside Zhang Li, Liu Yunhua and said, "These three must be..."
Zhang Li pushed Xiao Qi forward and whispered, "It's Grandma Ning." ”
Xiao Qi was reluctant in his heart, but he had already been pushed out, so he had no other way to choose, and said with a sweet smile: "Grandma Ning hasn't seen you for a long time." ”
"Okay, okay, this is the Seventh Girl, I don't think I have seen it for five or six years."
Xiao Qi saw this female official when she was a child, and it seemed that she was not so old at that time, or Xiao Qi had forgotten what happened when she was a child.
Zhang Ning walked to Xiao Qi's side and looked at Liu Yunhua, then at Xiao Qi, and said suspiciously: "This... It's old. ”
What did this old woman want to say, Xiao Qi didn't guess, she could only vaguely feel that she seemed to be a little afraid of her Aunt Liu.
The old woman walked to the ladies again, and walked to a courtyard as she spoke, which was a place for King Yi's mansion to prepare for rest, and of course to leave a place for them to put their things.
The father-in-law and the maid took the things from the car, sent them to the courtyard, and then put them in the various rooms in the courtyard one by one.
The old woman chatted happily with a few ladies, and the old people of the Zhang family who were of the same generation as Zhang Ning were no longer in Beijing, but there was no burden in chatting with a few juniors.
The ladies of the Zhang family were all thinking about taking Xiao Qi to play, and the old lady also saw the mood of a few little guys, so she asked a few palace maids to take them out, and let them serve several young ladies well.
With Zhang Ning saying this, the wife of the Zhang family was also relieved, but she just said that she would not let them make trouble for Grandma Ning.
Xiao Qi was dragged by several sisters and walked out of the door, Xiao Qi was not interested at all, but he couldn't stand the persuasion of his sister.
Zhang Zhuyan said: "It is said that the back garden of our Zhang family is better than the imperial garden of the imperial palace, but only we know that the back garden of our Zhang family is more than a little worse than the imperial garden of the capital of the Nine Dynasties." ”
Zhang Li said: "It's just a rumor from outsiders, and the fifth sister shouldn't think about it." ”
For the gossip outside, it's not a day or two, everything is cared about, everything is explained, and the Zhang family doesn't have this manpower.
"My sister is right."
The palace maids in the back listened to the words of the young ladies, and they didn't dare to think about it, of course, they didn't know if they would go back to chew the root of their tongues.
The so-called is not that the enemies do not get together, Xiao Qi and the others have not walked a few steps when they see a quirky little girl.
The little girl wore a white smoke cage plum blossom baishui skirt, covered with a moon satin embroidered magnolia butterfly dress, lined with pale pink brocade wrapping breasts, the cuffs were embroidered with delicate gold-patterned butterflies, and a few lace lace were hooked on the chest placket.
The skirt is as thin as a clear mist and a silk veil, and a gold belt is tied around the waist, which is extravagant and looks slim, and the air is like a quiet orchid, and there is a treasure jade lying quietly in front of the neck, adding a light and elegant atmosphere.
The little girl is none other than the Nanyun County Lord of Huinan Palace, after seeing Xiao Qi, she ran over happily, and first said to the young ladies of the Zhang family: "I have seen all sisters." ”
Zhang Li was puzzled: "Are you?" ”
"I'm Xiao Qi's sworn sister, Yin Yuyao."
"Lord Nanyun?"
"It's good for my sisters to call me Yuyao."
Zhang Zhuyun walked out, looked at Yin Yuyao and said, "Yuyao, call the sixth sister to listen." ”
Yin Yuyao didn't get angry, and called sweetly: "Sixth sister is good." ”
Zhang Zhuyun nodded with satisfaction and then said, "You see that I have another sister now, and it is no longer me and Xiao Qixiao." ”
Xiao Qi sighed and said, "Why are you here?" ”
After some talking, I learned that the courtyard where the two people rested in the palace turned out to be the same place, and I don't know if it was a special arrangement by the queen mother and the Ministry of Rites, or it happened to be done, anyway, Yin Yuyao was very happy.
Meeting the person I like here is the happiest thing to come to the palace, but not long after being happy, Yin Yuyao's resentment appeared on his face.
Zhang Zhuyun, who had just been called "Sixth Sister", patted his chest and said, "Sister Yuyao, is there something wrong?" Speak up and see if our sisters can help you. ”
It's not a trivial matter, but it's not a big deal, but according to Xiao Qi's guess, Yin Gaoxuan really didn't mention Xiao Qi again, and even under his own persuasion, he didn't say anything about letting Xiao Qi marry into the palace.
How can these tell a few sisters here who have just met, even if they want to let Xiao Qi marry into the palace, but these young ladies of the Zhang family will not think so.
Then he said that he had no relatives to accompany him, so he could only wander around the palace randomly.
