Chapter 81: The Turmoil in the Taiji Palace
Just after the hour, the palace gate was wide open.
Bai Yanqing finally breathed a sigh of relief. She stood in the face of the wrath of the crowd, and her legs were weak. And those ministers and family members are kneeling with numb knees!
"The emperor decreed, announced, this show girl, enter the palace immediately! None of the entourage are allowed to follow into the palace without permission!"
The father-in-law in the palace, with his sharp voice, broke the strange atmosphere.
For a while, everyone kowtowed to thank them, then got up, hugged each other with their families, and said goodbye with tears.
Only Bai Yanqing's father and daughter were cold and calm, and there was no parting pain on their faces.
"The father cherishes it, and the daughter goes to the palace first."
Bai Yanqing blessed Bai Jingxuan's body, and then resolutely turned around, not taking a single souvenir.
"Go ahead!"
Bai Jingxuan didn't say anything else, only lightly threw out two words, and then watched his daughter slowly walk away. He firmly believes that his daughter will not be bullied, and in the past few months of getting along, he has also found that his daughter is stronger and more resolute than anyone else.
What is the road ahead, Bai Yanqing can walk out of a broad road for herself.
The two Yunqi brothers behind them saw that everyone was gone, so they walked slowly and walked towards the palace together. They are princes, not family members, why not enter the palace now? What's more, that Yunji came out of the palace!
"It seems that it is still the imperial brother's dim sum, which is more in line with the Bai family's eldest lady's wishes."
Yun Ji said quietly.
Hearing this, Yun Qi's footsteps paused slightly, then turned his head to look at Yun Ji, and said very seriously, "Of course! The cooks in my house are no worse than the imperial chefs in the imperial dining room!"
Yun Ji looked at Yun Qi, a complicated look in his eyes, and then quickly returned to normal.
"After all, it's still the royal brother, I know her tastes better!"
Yun Ji suddenly wilted a little, and he lost his arrogant momentum at all.
Chenguo's draft is not for the emperor, but for the princes of the right age to choose the main concubine and side concubine. Its purpose, in addition to reproducing the descendants of the clan, is of course inseparable from the previous dynasty.
Since ancient times, the royal sons and daughters have chosen wives, and they have always been very interested in the family, birth, and so on. Therefore, it is impossible for ordinary women to participate in this orthodox draft.
In this draft, all candidates for the draft must be women of family age who are famous, status, noble, and outstanding. Therefore, before this draft, some women who do not meet the requirements have been screened out. The women who are left behind now and can enter the palace are all of the best in terms of appearance, virtue, and background..
From the moment the show girls enter the palace, they have to accept all the rules of the palace and deal with all the problems that may arise in the draft.
When a show girl first enters the palace, the first thing she has to go through is the screening of her appearance and appearance.
Because before the pioneer entered the palace, the portraits of the beautiful girls had been sent to the palace, and the emperor and queen had personally seen and selected them. Therefore, some of those women who are not good-looking have been eliminated. The dozen or so people left behind are the ones who are outstanding in appearance among the daughters of the powerful of the major families, headed by Bai Yanqing. Therefore, everyone has passed this first level.
Next, the most important thing today is to meet the current emperor and empress, as well as the princes who need to choose concubines this time. To put it bluntly, it's just a face-to-face!
Under the arrangement of the palace people, Bai Yanqing and others stood in several rows in an orderly manner, waiting for the emperor and his party in front of the Taiji Palace.
As soon as he arrived, Bai Yanqing saw a mighty group of people walking here.
"See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live."
"See the Queen, Niang Chitose Chitose Chitose."
Under the leadership of the palace people, everyone shouted insincere slogans. The cookie-cutter opening is always vulgar but not exempt from vulgarity.
After everyone saw the emperor and queen, they greeted the princes in the same way, and the etiquette was simpler, but it was inevitable.
"Let's all get up!"
The emperor opened his mouth, and everyone got up steadily.
There are four princes in the palace who choose concubines of appropriate age. One is the eldest prince Yunqi, who is twenty years old. The second is the third prince Yun Ji, who is sixteen years old. The third is Yun Tao, the second prince born to the current queen, who is eighteen years old. The fourth son is Yun Kai, the son of the most favored virtuous concubine, Nian
The four princes, except for Yun Qi and Yun Ji, who are brothers of the same mother, are successive descendants. The other two are not siblings. There are a lot of these kinds of involvement.
"Which one, is the daughter of the white face?"
The emperor stared at the ladies at the bottom of the steps and asked loudly.
Bai Yanqing secretly rolled her eyes, Mo said that he had already sent the portrait before, just because Yun Ji had been making trouble for so long, would the emperor not know who he was? He asked so knowingly, as if he was deliberately embarrassed by Bai Yanqing.
"The little girl Bai Yanqing has seen the emperor."
Bai Yanqing took a step forward, knelt down respectfully, and bowed to the supreme emperor.
When the emperor saw Bai Yanqing saluting, he neither said to let her get up, nor did he say anything about it. He only turned to the two Yun Qi brothers beside him and spoke to himself.
"I heard that you two brothers are at the gate of the palace early in the morning, and they have made such a big fuss!"
The emperor was displeased, what the two Yunqi brothers did, there were already palace people, and they all listened to the emperor.
For the sake of a woman, many ministers were offended, how could the emperor not be annoyed?
"Father, you are serious, Erchen just can't wait to see the eldest lady of the Bai family!"
Yun Ji did not shy away from saying.
"Erchen just wants to send Miss Bai to some snacks made by the chef in my house! Father, you know, the chef in the son's mansion makes delicious dim sum! Even the third brother is often greedy, sneaking over to steal food! Right? Third brother?"
Yun Qi still looked stupid, as if he hadn't heard the emperor's words at all.
"Brother Huang! Do you also want to sue your father for such a trivial matter? How did you...... So slam the door? It's just to eat a few pieces of your snacks, and my father hasn't cut off the supply in your house! Is it necessary for you to be so stingy?"
Yun Ji argued with Yun Qi angrily, and as soon as his momentum of splashing and rolling came out, the heads of everyone present sweated!
"Alright, alright, alright! Who cares about your eating, drinking, and Lazar? If you make any more trouble, I will cure you two for the crime of misconduct in front of the palace!"
Seeing that so many people were watching, these two sons didn't care about it at all, and the emperor had more and more headaches!
"Father! And thou wilt condemn us? Pity our two brothers, who have lost their mothers since childhood, no one hurts, and no one is steady enough in her footsteps to hold on! Is he embarrassed to let her thank him? Then she might as well just kneel!
"The floor tiles in this palace are very cold, and I was punished a lot when I was a child!"
Seeing Yun Ji pulling Bai Yanqing to speak, Yun Qi hurriedly came over and separated the two.
Every move of the three of them here fell in the eyes of the queen and several princes.
"Two royal brothers, it's really ...... Smile for Bo Hongyan, and don't hesitate to hurt yourself!"
Brother, don't use the heart of a villain to spend the belly of a gentleman. When I see the eldest brother, it doesn't look like he is acting."
The second prince, Yun Tao, stepped forward at the right time, staring at Yun Qi's gaze with a slight mockery.
Everyone present can hear the meaning of these words, but anyone who is not a fool.
The eldest prince, Yunqi, had a serious illness when he was a child, and after waking up, his brain was not very bright. Inside and outside the palace, everyone knows that the eldest prince Yunqi is as stupid as a child, and the third prince Yunji is crazy as a scoundrel. In everyone's opinion, these two successive sons-in-law are really not a big deal!
Yun Tao's words are ironic that Yun Qi is a fool.
Seeing this, Bai Yanqing on the side was immediately a little displeased, she only felt that this second prince spoke very harshly, but because of his identity as a prince, Bai Yanqing was not good at reasoning with him too blatantly.
"The eldest prince is sincere, and he has an ageless childlike heart, which is commendable."
Bai Yanqing said to the two Yun Qi brothers, with a soft smile on her face.
But Yuntao immediately heard it
Bai Yanqing is defending Yunqi! He suddenly skipped a little dissatisfaction in his heart, this Bai family girl is really ...... I don't know how to lift! His face instantly turned cold, and looking at Bai Yanqing's eyes, he was also extremely unkind.
"Really? It turns out that in the heart of Miss Bai Family, am I so powerful?"
When Yun Qi heard this, he jumped up happily, and his clumsy and stiff movements did not match his tall figure at all!
"What about me? What about me? Am I not sincere?"
Seeing this, Yun Ji was not convinced, and ran to Bai Yanqing, as if begging for a reward!
"Three Princes...... It is also very good to be lively and cheerful, to be righteous and friendly to others!"
Yun Ji helped himself like this, Bai Yanqing naturally couldn't refute his face, and let him lose face in front of the second prince. The tunnel also opened his mouth and praised him.
"He is worthy of being a person valued by this prince, and his speech is beautiful! It's much better than those people who are chattering and don't know what to call them!"
Yun Ji didn't even raise his head, but anyone could hear who he was talking about.
"Isn't that a sparrow?"
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Yun Qi suddenly opened his mouth and raised his own questions.
"Yes, yes, it's a sparrow!"
Yun Ji agreed, the two brothers, had an extremely serious conversation, which provoked Bai Yanqing to laugh secretly. At this time, she didn't think that the two Yunqi brothers were stupid and crazy! It's like ...... Deliberately!
But, don't all the rumors say that the eldest prince is a fool? After all, is Yun Qi really stupid? Bai Yanqing was a little confused for a while!
