Chapter 42: Fenghua Palace
Feng Zhirong knows that such compliments are mostly scenes, although she didn't like to socialize in her previous life, she also participated in many banquets because of professional factors, everyone can say such scenes and say them well, but if you want to take it seriously, you can dig a pit and jump for yourself.
Even if she doesn't like that kind of occasion, she has already developed the ability to deal with it. I saw her show the shy appearance of a ten-year-old girl with almost perfect acting skills, and said: "Zirong has never thought about it so much, but the elders have told me at home, and when you enter the palace, you must study hard with your aunt, don't be distracted, let alone live up to the grace of Your Majesty and Niangniang, and don't live up to the painstaking teaching of your aunt." Although these words were repeated from before, her shy performance made the emotions more sincere.
"Madame is very careful, and even gave these advices."
Feng Zhirong couldn't guess whether the meaning of Hong Shu's words was simple politeness or other deep meaning, so she heard Hong Shu say again: "After a while, you have to enter the imperial city before entering the palace, and someone will come to check these two gates, so don't say anything, just hand it over to the slave maid." Remember not to look at the things in the palace that you shouldn't see, and don't say what you shouldn't say, so as not to cause trouble. ”
Feng Zhirong nodded and agreed silently.
Hong Shu said: "Miss is still young, but she may also know that she usually prepares some broken silver to reward her subordinates, and the same is true for the little masters in the palace, but Anxiu Palace is different, don't give it if you shouldn't give it...... Everything in Anxiu Palace can't escape from the eyes of the mother, but you have to remember it. ”
Feng Zhirong looked at Hong Shu's eyes, and this time she could understand that this was an extra reminder from Hong Shu to herself, so she also stood up in the carriage, and saluted steadily: "Zirong, thank you aunt for mentioning it." ”
Hong Shu's eyes were full of smiles, and he said: "In the future, if the young lady has any problems in the palace and can't find the slave maid, you can also ask Yuzhu and Fang Chun, the two of them are the top slaves and maids in the Niangniang Palace, and the rules in the palace are very skillful." ”
Feng Zhirong nodded, and smiled at Yuzhu and Fang Chun.
Hong Shu's affairs were almost explained, and just as he was about to say something, he heard the young waiter driving outside remind: "Auntie, the gate of the imperial city has arrived." ”
Hong Shu changed his words when he heard this: "Don't get out of the car for a while." ”
Feng Zhirong nodded to indicate that she knew.
The attendant was very skilled, and there was no bump when the car came to a slow stop. Hong Shu got out of the car with the help of Yuzhu and Fang Chun, and after saying a few words to the guards guarding the door, Yuzhu and Fang Chun reached out together to open the curtain, let the guards look at the people inside, and answered some simple questions, and then the three of them returned to the car one after another and continued to move forward slowly.
Then, after entering the palace from the imperial city, they went through the same inspection procedure, and then the young chamberlain drove slowly into the palace gate under the protection of the guards and chamberlains on both sides.
Horse-drawn carriages are not allowed in the palace, at most you can only ride in chariots. However, the people who are allowed to ride the chariot are also very few, in addition to the emperor and other heavenly nobles, only the important ministers of the court, the old ministers, and the senior concubines in the palace who are allowed by the emperor can take the chariot, and even ordinary nobles are not exempt from such rules.
The huge palace is very extensive, and after Feng Zhirong's carriage was parked near the palace gate, she walked on one leg.
Feng Zhirong exercised a lot in Feng Mansion on weekdays, except for running around to exercise lung capacity when she was very young in the name of being a child and having a lively personality, and later simply used the Feng family's garden as her own playground to run, and was also indulged by Feng Xu with a smile, and before going to bed, she would drive the accompanying maids out of the door and start practicing yoga and exercising core muscles.
Feng Zhirong had this habit in her previous life.
After all, as an actor, it is also her job to take care of her body and maintain her best posture at any time, and after reincarnation, since her small body can run and jump, she has also begun to adjust her exercise habits according to the growth rate and ability of her body, which also makes her body always very healthy and rarely sick.
However, this huge palace is not comparable to the small Feng family.
Hong Shu and the two palace maids who were accompanying Feng Zhirong were used to walking, and Feng Zhirong was also secretly glad that she had a habit of exercising, otherwise she would have broken her leg when she started walking near the palace gate?
Hong Shu originally thought that Feng Zhirong was young, and her body looked very delicate, and she deliberately walked slower, for fear that she would not be able to keep up, but later found that she had walked a long way, and Feng Zhirong was still blushing and panting, so she secretly praised it in her heart.
Although the presiding officer of the women's study in the palace is the queen's mother, the women who enter the palace to study rarely have the opportunity to meet the queen.
Generally speaking, in addition to a group of people who can listen to a few words of the queen when they enter the palace in spring, it is the palace banquet of the annual festival that has the opportunity to witness the queen's dignity.
The women who enter the palace to study every year after the winter solstice until the Lantern Festival can go home to celebrate the festival, but the rest of the festivals such as the Flower Dynasty Festival, Shangsi Day, Mid-Autumn Festival and the Winter Solstice will be spent in the palace, the palace is naturally indispensable to arrange for those young girls to feast with and increase knowledge, the scale of the banquet will also be different because of the arrangements in the palace, but there are many opportunities for the princes and princes of the court to bring their wives and children and grandchildren to attend the meeting, which is also lively.
When the female elders of the ladies and ladies of the family feast together, they will also find out from the palace banquet whether other good families have children of sufficient age to marry, which can be regarded as finding a family for their daughters.
In modern terms, it can also be said that the elders replace the children's blind date activities.
- Having said that, although it was still early in the morning when Feng Zhirong left home today, it was already the sun high and it was very hot.
Feng Zhirong followed Hong Shu for a long time without squinting, and only then did she come to the gate of Fenghua Palace.
"When I meet the mother, I want to do a big gift." Hong Shu carefully admonished, and said: "If Niangniang asks you to get up, you must thank you before you can get up; If you want to look up, you have to close your eyes. ”
Feng Zhirong nodded, and Hong Shu carefully looked at her expression and confirmed it for a while, and then led her into Fenghua Palace.
When Feng Zhirong first stepped into the palace gate, she had already seen the towering palaces in the distance, and now when she came to Fenghua Palace, she secretly shook her head and sighed at the luxury of the emperor's family.
The place where you want to live after a dynasty may not be as good as the emperor's bedroom, but it is also one of the best.
The size of this palace is probably much larger than the entire Feng Mansion.
