Chapter 616 The new concubine enters the palace
Three days are coming in a blink of an eye, and the selection of concubines by the new emperor is naturally the top priority, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already sent carriages to meet the concubines who have been selected for the palace.
When it came to Shen, Du Mansion was in a hurry, and he got the news that the carriage in the palace was coming, and at this moment Du Lianghuan had already dressed up, and waited outside the gate with the people of Du Mansion.
At this moment, Du Lianghuan had a dignified posture and a kind face, standing straight in front of everyone. There is still a faint unfathomable look in his eyes.
She knew that she came from a humble background, and her parents did not do much. Now that he has been arranged by General Du to enter the palace, although he knows that he is using it, as long as he enters the palace, the future glory and favor are in his own hands.
Du Liang thought about this, a pair of jade hands clenched together, the expression in his eyes changed from unfathomable to smooth, and he even hooked his lips and smiled, showing a spring breeze on his face.
"Lianghuan, although your sister is now ranked as the fourth concubine in the palace, but others don't know it, but I know it very well. A few days ago, she often complained to me in private, although she did not say it explicitly, the meaning of her words was not the emperor's mind. ”
General Du said and sighed earnestly. Although General Du said that he fought on the battlefield and had good physical bones, he was an elderly man in the end, and only the matter of children made him always hang in his heart.
Now he does not hesitate to arrange Miss Table to enter the palace, but it is just for Du Qinyue and for the honor of the entire Du family.
What a smart person Du Lianghuan is, how could he not understand General Du's intentions. Seeing him like this, Sui Yingying knelt down and said very respectfully and cordially, "Lianghuan understands, the general can rest assured." When Liang Huan goes to the palace, he will be cautious and cautious, and support each other with his sister. ”
At the end, he added a sentence very seriously, "Lianghuan knows that he and the Du family are both prosperous and lossy, and they will not live up to the general's trust and love for Lianghuan." ”
When General Du heard this, he seemed to be extremely relieved, stretched out his hand to help Du Lianghuan up, and his tone was a lot more relaxed, "If you think so, I'm relieved." ”
General Du glanced at his father-in-law waiting outside the door, and whispered to Du Lianghuan: "This time you enter the palace, this general can only send you here, Huan'er, you have always been cautious and cautious on weekdays, so I won't tell you more." ”
Du Lianghuan looked at the look on General Du's face, hooked the corners of his mouth, and smiled gently. "Lianghuan should follow the general's teachings."
After finishing speaking, he walked towards the door of the General's Mansion, walking step by step extremely elegantly, but also very well-behaved. The little father-in-law standing at the door was brightened when he saw Du Lianghuan and said, "The slave greets Miss Du." ”
A gentle smile appeared on Du Lianghuan's face, I nodded to the little father-in-law, and got into the carriage under the service of the personal maid.
Knowing that the carriage was slowly leaving, General Du was still standing in the courtyard at the gate of the General's Mansion. The housekeeper looked at his general's slightly sad look, and asked, "The general looks like this, what's wrong with Miss Lianghuan entering the palace?" ”
When General Du heard the housekeeper say this, he shook his head slowly, and said with some sorrow in his tone: "Every time Qin Yue writes letters, she always says how unsatisfactory she is in the palace, her good looks and temperament, they are all superior, it stands to reason that it should be a good thing to send her to the palace and support Qin Yue, but in the heart of this general, there is always some foreboding. ”
When the housekeeper heard General Du say this, he immediately smiled and said with relief: "The general may be too worried, even if Miss Lianghuan arrives in the palace, she is really ungrateful and tries to betray the eldest lady, according to the wisdom of the eldest lady, can't she still be even?" ”
When General Du heard the housekeeper praise Du Qinyue like this, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "That's what you said." ”
After speaking, without waiting for the butler to reply, he strode towards the study.
The carriage was walking slowly on the road, Du Lianghuan lifted the carriage curtain and glanced out the window, the bustling streets of the capital, and a gray and unknown light crossed his eyes.
Entering the palace this time, she must have a future in the palace, even if she doesn't think about herself, she has to think about her own parents.
Du Lianghuan remembered the unfair treatment he suffered in the clan in those years because his parents had no ability. A pair of fists clenched tightly.
Du Lianghuan's personal maid, seeing her appearance, said with some trepidation: "Entering the palace this time is an opportunity that Miss has been looking forward to with great difficulty, why is there no trace of joy on Miss's face?" ”
Du Lianghuan showed a mocking smile on his face, and said casually: "Now that the emperor has just ascended the throne, it is said that the emperor has only the queen in his heart, and even my sister is not as favored as the queen in the palace now, and I entered the palace just to help her, so what is there to be happy about in this situation." ”
When the maid next to Du Lianghuan heard Du Lianghuan say this, she glanced at her young lady's bland measurement, and suddenly felt distressed. According to the young lady's talent and appearance, if she was born in a rich family, even if she married a big family and became the head of the house, it would be more than enough.
But now, even if he enters the palace to be a concubine for the emperor, he is still burdened and helps the fate of Concubine Shu. It's really unwilling.
Du Lianghuan looked at the indignant look on his personal girl's face, smiled slightly, and said, "I won't feel unwilling, or angry." There is no free lunch in the world, and if General Du is willing to give me such an opportunity, then I will definitely have to pay the same price, and there is nothing to resent. ”
Du Lianghuan's personal girl, that is, Yu'er, heard her own lady say this, she glanced at her own young lady with some distress, but she didn't speak anymore.
At this time, his own young lady was sad in his heart, no matter what he said at this time, for his own young lady, I am afraid it was some hurtful words, since this is the case, it is better to keep silent.
The carriage gurgled and walked for about half an hour before entering the palace. Also entering the palace with Du Lianghuan, there were eight new concubines, and eight carriages also stopped at the gate of the palace.
The palace had already sent a grandmother to answer, and the grandmother at the head looked to be about forty or fifty years old, with gray hair combed meticulously, and wearing a dark blue palace dress. The eight new concubines, supported by their subordinates, stepped out of the carriage and saw the grandmother stepping forward to salute.
The grandmother standing at the gate of the palace is the red person next to the queen mother, Mama Lin, at this time, when she saw these eight women getting out of the car, she saluted herself again, and immediately hurriedly avoided the side, and said with a smile: "Girls, from now on you will be the mother of the palace." The old slave is just a slave, so naturally he can't stand the courtesy of the nobles. ”
When the new concubines heard Mama Lin say this, they looked at each other one by one, but they also stood up in a proper manner. Seeing them like this, Mao Mao nodded with satisfaction, and said to the general manager next to the carriage: "Father-in-law Liu, the Queen Mother sent me to pick up the palace concubines." ”
When Grandpa Liu heard Mama Lin say this, he hurriedly smiled at her flatteringly: "What did Mama say about this?" You are a big celebrity next to the Queen Mother, and it is difficult for the slave to suspect you. ”
When Mama Lin heard Gonggong Liu say this, she didn't show the slightest arrogant look on her face, and she still said in a businesslike manner: "Having said that, but the etiquette cannot be abolished, these women, one by one, are all nobles from their families, and they can't make any mistakes, although I came to pick them up into the palace on the order of the Queen Mother, but I always want to say hello to Gonggong Liu." ”
The smile on Grandpa Liu's face paused, and then he smiled even brighter: "That's nature, that's nature." ”
After Mama Lin and her father-in-law had finished burning here, she turned her head to look at Du Lianghuan and the eight of them, and said in a respectful tone: "Masters, please follow me into the palace!" ”
Du Lianghuan and the others looked at each other, and respectfully followed Mama Lin into the palace gate. Originally, when the palace concubine entered the palace, Shen Huo also wanted to come to check it out in person.
However, because Shen Huo had just ascended the throne and was busy with state affairs, when these new concubines entered the palace, the queen mother and the queen presided over the ceremony together.
In Fengyi Palace, He Suoyi was dressed in a queen's formal suit, wearing a nine-tailed phoenix crown on his head, noble, dignified and gentle. Jin Yu and Zijin each stood on one side, and the expressions on their faces were serious.
The three masters and servants stood in the hall in a strict formation, and at this moment, the eunuch's shout suddenly came from outside the door: "The queen mother has arrived." ”
He Suoyi's face changed, and he immediately raised a smile and walked towards the door. As soon as I walked to the door, I saw the Queen Mother walking in with the help of Mama Du. He Suoyi stepped forward, took over Mama Du's work, held the queen mother's hand and said: "This time the new concubine enters the palace, the emperor is busy with state affairs, and the sons and daughters are inexperienced, I am afraid that I will have to work a lot for the queen mother." ”
When the Queen Mother heard He Suoyi say this, she immediately smiled and said: "The queen doesn't have to be so modest, your ability, everyone in the harem is obvious to all, it's not so much that you are inexperienced, but that you sell me an old woman a face." ”
When He Suoyi heard the Queen Mother say this, he smiled shyly and helped her into Fengyi Palace. Helped the Queen Mother to sit down on the main seat, He Suoyi sat next to the Queen Mother, and after a while, Du Qinyue was late with her own girl.
The Queen Mother had the heart to teach her a few words, but He Suoyi shook her head at the Queen Mother with a smile. The Queen Mother remembered today's day, and she didn't care about her in general, but just snorted coldly to express her dissatisfaction.
Du Qinyue knew that the Queen Mother was a little unhappy with her behavior today, but today he was really a little upset and irritable in his heart, so after saluting, he sat aside and stopped talking.
At this time, there were only two concubines in the palace, He Suoyi and Du Qinyue, and the two of them came. The Queen Mother glanced at He Suoyi, He Suoyi understood, and nodded to Jin Yu beside her, Jin Yu took two steps forward and shouted loudly: "Xuan eight new concubines enter the palace." ”
As Jin Yu's voice came out, Du Lianghuan and the others, under the leadership of Mama Lin, walked into the palace gate one by one.
The Queen Mother looked at the eight new concubines in front of her, a smile filled her eyes, and she said kindly: "What are your names?" ”
Starting from Du Lianghuan, the eight new concubines slowly reported their names, and the Queen Mother nodded with a smile while listening.
