Chapter 13: The Rite of Canonization

The elder brother smiled on the side and said, "When I went to the inn just now, the boss thought that Lin Kexin's little master was a strange thing, so he didn't let them go." As a result, I was sent away with three punches and two kicks. ”

I pretended to be angry: "In front of Lin Kexin's little master, how can you say such a thing of fighting and killing, and use fists and feet to scare people!" ”

Lin Kexin burst into tears and laughed, half shyly: "It's okay." Thanks to Brother Hong's help! ”

I smiled and said, "What about the 'young man'?" Just scare us less. Everyone couldn't help but laugh together.

As the night deepened, I sent Lin Kexin back to the room alone, and the moonlight poured like water on the verandah. I sincerely said to Lin Kexin: "Lin Kexin, living in my house is like being in your own home, don't be restrained." Tell me what you lack, tell me if the girl is not tame, don't wronged yourself and let them turn the sky upside down. Lin Kexin was moved in her heart, held my hand and said: "Lin Kexin's frog at the bottom of the well, I don't know the height of the sky, I don't know where to get the blessing of cultivation, and I can enter the palace with peace of mind if I get my sister's care." Lin Kexin can only repay with sincerity, support her sister for the rest of her life, and accompany the years in the palace. ”

My heart warmed, I held her hand tightly, and called sincerely: "Good sister." ”

It's a good day. The inner supervisor of the palace came to announce the decree, and my father took my mother, me, my brother and two younger sisters to the main hall to receive the decree, and the inner supervisor preached:

"On August 22, the fourth year of Chengzong, the Governor's Internal Affairs Office copied out from the Jingshi Room, and was ordered: The prince Taibao, the military department Shangshu Hong Chengchou's sixteen-year-old female Hong Chengcheng, was named the sixth grade of the noble concubine, and was given the name 'tilt', and entered on September 15. Chin this. ”

I couldn't tell whether I was sad or happy in my heart, and I only quietly received the message of thanksgiving.

He also introduced an elderly woman in the palace maid's clothes, who was very elegant and had a harmonious atmosphere between her eyebrows. I knew that it was to teach my aunt, so I blessed my body slightly and called, "Auntie." ”

She was stunned, thinking that she didn't expect me to treat her so politely. Hurriedly knelt down to greet me, and said in his mouth: "Slave Luo Xiang, see the noble little master." "The rules of my dynasty are that my aunt has a special identity, and she doesn't need to kowtow to the palace concubine during the etiquette of teaching the little lord in the palace, so the first time we met, I just asked to kneel down.

Daddy had already prepared money and gifts to send to the internal prison. The mother is careful, considering that Lin Kexin lives in a sojourn and is inconvenient to have money, even her share was given to her father-in-law.

The inner supervisor received the salute and went to the next room to proclaim:

"On August 22, the fourth year of Chengzong, the Governor's Internal Affairs Office copied it out from the Jingshifang, and ordered: Lin Kexin, a fifteen-year-old woman from Wanshan, Tailin, Anhui Province, was named Zhengqipin Jieyu and entered on September 15. Chin this. ”

Lin Kexin and Aunt Xiao cried with joy. Because I live with Lin Kexin, my aunt is also Luo Xiang.

After the announcement was completed, he led his aunt and the inner supervisor to drink tea. Prepare a good room for my aunt, and treat me with good food and drink.

The people who went to inquire about the news also returned. Because he has just entered the palace, the positions of the little lords who have been selected are not high, and they are all below the top five concubines. Fan Yiren was canonized as a Zhengwupin Wanyi and entered the palace on the same day as me. A total of ten young masters were selected this time, and they entered the palace in three batches. Lin Kexin and Fan Yiren and I were the last ones.

I felt a little comforted. Not only can we enter the palace two days late, but the three of us are familiar with each other, and we can take care of each other after entering the palace, so that we will not be lonely for a long time.

Lin Kexin and I had a canonization ceremony and began to live in another courtyard. Although we still live in the Shangshu Mansion, the Allure Pavilion and the Spring and Xuan where we live are separated, the outside is guarded by the guards sent by the palace, and the inside is served by the inner eunuchs and palace maids, and idle men are forbidden to enter. I only taught my aunt to accompany us to learn etiquette, waiting for the day of entering the palace on September 15.

After the canonization, the rules were strict, in addition to the close maids who had to be brought to the palace to serve closely, even my father and brother had to kneel on the cushion outside the door through the curtain to talk when they met me. My mother and sister can see each other once a day, but they must also greet me according to the etiquette.

Lin Kexin and I are both palace concubines, so we can often walk back and forth, and we can also learn etiquette together.

In this way, Lin Kexin is more relaxed than me. When the male dependents are not around, they don't have to watch their family members bow down to them.

The Qing Dynasty has always emphasized the role of the monarch and the minister, and the monarch is the minister. The title of "Dumping Guiji" symbolizes that I am already the Son of Heaven, although I am only a low-level palace concubine who is about to enter the palace. But my parents, brothers and sisters also had to kneel down to me and say goodbye. Every time I watched my father kneel outside the curtain and greet me, I recited respectfully: "Pour your auspiciousness, may the noble little lord be blessed with longevity and health." Then he leaned over and spoke to me, so that I could not bear to look at it, and my heart was unspeakably uncomfortable and sad.

Several times, I had to avoid my father, and every day I was greeted by Tilt Mei and Dump Rose, and always told Daddy to pay attention to maintenance.
