Chapter 9: The Nobility of the Middle Palace
In late spring, a hundred flowers rain first, and a hundred trees do not bear fruit. Flowers and snow are fragrant, or falling or fruit. The cardamom tip hugs the spring heart, and the sleeve yarn is soft in the east wind.
The six newcomers learned etiquette and palace rules in the court, and Qi Sanya was the oldest among the six people selected, and the remaining five people all circled around Sanya. When something happened, let Sister Sanya take the idea, and gradually, Qi Sanya became the backbone of the five sisters.
A month later, the emperor decreed that Qi Sanya should be canonized as a nobleman and live in the Qing Pavilion. Zhao Suqing is a beauty, living in the shadow pavilion. Chen Ziying is a talented person and lives in Weishui Pavilion. Zhang Danhe is a beloved, and he lives in Yiyan Pavilion.
The four who were canonized, although they were of the lowest grade, did not have the main concubines in the harem, so they made an exception and let them live in the same hall as the main seat.
Yang Liu and Xiao Ranran, both thirteen years old, were not given titles because of their young age, so they did not have a palace where they lived, and were assigned to live with sisters with titles. The small willow is divided in the Qinglin Pavilion, and lives attached to Qi Sanya. Xiao Ranran followed his lover Zhang Danhe.
The little masters with titles need to go to the Queen Mother and the Queen every morning and dusk to say goodbye. And the show girls who have not been titled only need to go to the first and fifteenth days of the new year every month to ask for peace.
The first time I went to the middle palace to greet the queen, the status of the four girls was equal to each other, but Qi Sanya was older and took the lead in the front, which was the head of the group of concubines. The two little show girls Yang Liu and Xiao Ranran met the queen of the world for the first time, and they couldn't help but be nervous, the two held hands and landed at the back, sweating in their palms.
Slowly walked into the palace of the queen, stood in two rows in order, and stood with his hands down to welcome the queen phoenix.
"The queen has arrived-" Queen Mingzhu walked into the main hall under the crowd of palace people, the phoenix robe mopped the floor, and the queen ascended to the throne.
"The concubine sees the queen's mother, the mother is blessed with Jin'an!"
The six of them knelt down and saluted, and their purple and red skirts were spread out on the crystal jade ground, like blooming flowers.
Looking at the group of young newcomers kneeling on the ground, the queen had the feeling of being a queen for the first time. Before the emperor was drafted, the master of the harem was the only one who was Queen Ming, and she was a little cold. A batch of pearl-like flowers and bones came, and the harem was obviously vivid, and the huge harem was no longer lonely, and it might lose its former peace. The water in the pond, without any fish in it, is a pool of silent stagnant water. However, with fish swimming, there will be waves.
"Flat, give a seat." Empress Ming's peaceful voice swirled in the palace.
After taking her seat, Qi Sanya looked up at the queen on the phoenix seat: a phoenix crown symbolizing supreme glory was worn on the queen's head; a stunning phoenix robe, worn on the queen's body; A magnificent phoenix seat highlights the queen's extravagance. The queen sits on the phoenix throne, which is the embodiment of nobility, which makes the group of newcomers below unreachable.
A few days ago, someone in the palace had already copied the list of these show girls to the queen, and Queen Ming remembered it in her heart. asked for peace for the first time, introduced herself one by one, and Queen Ming corresponded the list with her face.
Empress Ming set her eyes on the six beauties, and the colorful pictures were like petals blooming in the garden, delicate and dewdropping.
"In the future, everyone will be a family, and serving the emperor wholeheartedly, and the peace of the six palaces is the blessing of the royal family." Empress Ming's eyes were smiling, and her kind and kind expression made their nervous mood gradually relax.
"The concubine remembers the teachings of the queen." Everyone replied in unison.
"When you first arrive, it is inevitable that it will be fresh, and you will walk around the palace and be familiar with the court. If the supply of the two show girls is insufficient, make a register and declare it in time...... "The sky above the solemn and majestic main hall echoed the queen's soft and sweet voice.
Yang Liu and Xiao Ranran heard that the queen took care of the two unnamed show girls, so they got up from their seats gratefully, and leaned down together to thank them: "Thank you for the grace of the queen." ”
"That's all for today, and they're going to disperse."
"Yes, Queen Xie!"
Empress Ming left her seat and went to the inner hall.
"Congratulations to the queen mother, the queen mother Chitose Chitose Chitose!" Behind Empress Ming, a tender and beautiful voice sounded.
Qi Sanya looked at the queen's back, the phoenix on the phoenix robe spread its wings, and the nobility of the middle palace was condensed in the phoenix crown and phoenix robe......
Like an uncaged bird, chirping out of the middle palace. Outside, the spring light is infinitely better, and the flowers are getting stronger and the beauty is smiling.
"The queen is so kind." As soon as Xiao Ranran came out of the palace, he grabbed the corner of Yang Liu's clothes and said happily.
"In the palace, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, drink fragrant tea, taste pastries, and enjoy flowers all day long...... It's so beautiful! Yang Liu took over the conversation, with an innocent face.
"That's right, we met a virtuous queen who is rare in a century, and we are very happy when we think about the life of this palace in the future." Xiao Ranran said happily.
……
A group of frolicking newcomers, laughter like silver bells, floated across the imperial garden and into the depths.
