Chapter 21: Entering the Palace
Hey? What do you mean? Don't want to ask me to wait for a change?
Feng Hua had a feeling of falling into the pit, but he couldn't offend him at the moment, so he said generously: "If you meet a woman who is willing, even if you are included in the mansion, I will not stop you." ”
Ye Yanqi looked at himself when he heard this, and he didn't know where to make Gu Fenghua feel that he was a lustful person like a wolf and a tiger.
But he didn't bother to explain, so he said um, and reminded: "I have to enter the palace early tomorrow morning." So he called the river and pushed him out.
Xu is a strange environment, Xu is worried about getting up early to enter the palace, Fenghua slept in a mess this night, didn't get a good night's sleep, and was called to dress up again on the fifth watch.
At sunrise, Fenghua and Ye Yanqi rode in the same carriage and entered the palace in complicated clothes.
Seeing that Gu Fenghua's eyes were blue and his spirit was sluggish, Ye Yanqi asked, "Didn't sleep well?" ”
Fenghua replied with a wilt, "I'm worried about entering the palace." ”
"Don't like to enter the palace?"
"Who likes a place where they can die at any moment?" Fenghua gave Ye Yanqi a slap in the face.
"Then why do you like the Northwest Frontier? Isn't that more likely to kill you? Ye Yanqi asked again.
"Can this be the same?" Fenghua is energetic, "The northwest is half of my home, and even if I die in the northwest, I will defend my family and the country, die a glorious death, and be killed by my own people...... It's not worth it! ”
Speaking of the back, Fenghua remembered his father, and suddenly became resentful, and he had no intention of arguing, so he closed his eyes to hide his emotions.
Ye Yanqi sat opposite to capture her emotions and thought about it.
Does Gu Fenghua know about General Gu?
Previously, people were asked to explore Gu Fenghua's martial arts foundation, and the news replied that after General Gu died, the old lady invited a master to enter the mansion and forced Gu Fenghua to study hard.
Since she still needs to be persecuted, she still doesn't know the reason. The family should be reluctant to tell it, let a little girl shoulder the responsibility of the family.
The two of them had their own thoughts, and they were silent all the way.
Due to leg disease and newlywed, the chariot of the seventh prince directly entered the palace gate, and the ceremonial official waited at the palace gate to lead the newlyweds into the palace.
The main hall is solemn and quiet, the elegance hangs its head, and when standing in the hall, it vaguely sees the bright yellow on the head of the hall.
When the ceremonial official spoke to the emperor, Fenghua raised his eyes slightly, only to see a red concubine sitting on the emperor's right hand side, followed by a series of costumed concubines; On the left-hand side are the crown princes, princesses, and princesses.
On such a formal occasion, the queen didn't even attend?
Fenghua had doubts in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, but listened attentively to the instructions of the ceremonial officer, kowtowed to the emperor, and followed Ye Yanqi step by step to salute others.
After a salute, Fenghua noticed that the prince was in the fourth row, Ye Yanqi had the fifth and sixth brothers above, and there were a few younger princes and younger brothers below.
The brothers above, except for the sixth prince Ye Yan'an, have all married wives.
was preempted by his younger brother, and this is a topic.
Sure enough, a concubine raised her head, "Guifei Niangniang, these six princes have been preempted by their younger brothers, why don't you hurry up?" ”
"How can I not be in a hurry? It's just that the position of the concubine can be chosen by thousands of choices, not only in the eyes of His Majesty, but also in the eyes of An'er, to put it bluntly, the vision of this father and son is too high. The concubine replied jokingly.
The concubine is nearly fifty, but she is not inferior to those concubines who are more than ten years younger than her under the dress, and she still has her own charm, so it is no wonder that she is favored.
At this moment, Fenghua, who was standing straight in the pile of daughters-in-law, thought of the queen for no reason, is she still hoeing and planting flowers?
"Niangniang has a niece like a flower in her own family, as well as the daughters of the Xia family and the Mei family at the last autumn banquet are all excellent, I'm afraid that the mother is picky." Another concubine answered.
"Your Majesty, look, my sisters are making fun of me!" The concubine looked at the emperor with a little coquettishness.
The emperor paused slightly, looked at the concubine meaningfully, and said with a smile: "The sixth child has to hurry up, the Xia family and the Mei family are all good, and in the end, it depends on An'er's meaning." ”
A trace of resentment flashed almost invisibly on the concubine's face, some of the concubines changed their faces, and some looked at the concubine with a smile on their faces.
The cooperation of the appropriate questions and answers is all carefully arranged by the concubine.
In the early years, the concubine was still looking forward to the future position, but the emperor seemed to be getting older and more missive, and the concubine could only make other plans, if she couldn't sit on the throne, she would have to be a queen mother, and the next generation would have to be the daughter of the Chen family.
But what the emperor just said was the Xia family and the Mei family, and he didn't mention her niece, who has also been with the king for decades, how can she not understand the Sacred Heart.
So, she beckoned to the sixth prince with a smile, "An'er, I haven't thanked your father yet." ”
"It seems that the sixth prince will be overjoyed soon!"
"Concubine Niangniang, I will inevitably ask you for a glass of wine to drink."
Everyone laughed, and Gu Fenghua also laughed.
This is his family, who look like they are full of flowers, but they are actually full of calculations.
It's just that the Gu family's revenge should be avenged by someone in this hall?
Don't rush. Fenghua comforted himself, and today he finally recognized it.
"Well, you see." The concubine changed the topic, "What are you talking about An'er, today is obviously the gift of the new daughter-in-law of the Seventh Princess." I saw that the whip dance of the Seventh Princess was very good last time, and she should be very close to the queen. ”
Seeing that he mentioned himself, Fenghua couldn't hide from it, so he replied in a regular manner, "Niangniang smiled, and the carving insect skills can't be on the table." ”
It's really strange, why did the concubine mention the queen at this time, isn't this sweeping herself and the emperor's happiness? Fenghua is puzzled.
People outside don't know that the concubine has this ability, the emperor makes me unhappy, and I will pick on your sore spots. But the emperor eats the concubine very much, and thinks that this is the real love between husband and wife.
The concubine looked at the emperor and said, "Anyway, the seventh prince also grew up in the Fengyi Palace, why didn't the queen even attend the ceremony?" Later, the seventh prince will take the seventh princess to Fengyi Hall for a trip. ”
The emperor still smiled and boasted: "It's still the concubine who thinks about it thoroughly, and you will take the princess to Fengyi Palace." ”
The emperor spoke, and the hall dispersed.
Ye Yanqi took Fenghua to Fengyi Palace, and the queen happened to come back from picking vegetables, still dressed as an ordinary woman, "I know that you entered the palace today, and I prepared a gift and planned to send someone over, but I didn't expect you to come over so soon." ”
The queen motioned for her aunt to take out the prepared gift and hand it to Fenghua.
"Thank you, Mother." Fenghua changed his mouth with Ye Yanqi.
"Is the old lady good?"
The queen first asked Fenghua about the situation of some old gentlemen, and then said a few idle words about flowers and plants, and then let them go back.
Before leaving, she told Ye Yanqi: "Xiaoqi, the old lady is old, you and Fenghua should go back to visit the old man from time to time." ”
Ye Yanqi replied, "Don't worry, the queen mother, there are not so many rules in my house." ”
He understood, the queen mother didn't want Fenghua to be detained like the high-ranking ladies in Beijing.
Fenghua also understood, her heart was hot, and she suddenly remembered her mother: If A-Niang is still here, she will definitely protect me like this.
