Chapter 120: Courtesy
"Song Yuxuan went to see you! Song Yu took a sip of tea, rubbed his fingers on the uneven, white-background rhododendron porcelain bowl for a while, and when the wind blew through the azure curtain, the soft hand swept over his face and said, "Tired!" You should go out for a walk in the afternoon, but you can go to the Shoyoden! โ
"The Queen Mother Dumen has been thanking guests for many years, and Shunyi will definitely have to eat a closed door when she leaves, so why bother to come for nothing," Su Xue persuaded euphemistically, "Now that the harem is handed over to Lu Zhaorong to manage, it is logical for Shunyi to go to Yanguitang." โ
"It's not reasonable to do this," the habit of the palace people holding high feet and stepping on low feet is rooted in the blood, everyone knows that the queen mother has lost power, and Song Yingche is not compatible, let alone held a four-season banquet in the palace. The palace maids also put Lu Zhaorong in front of them, and it was inevitable that they would be cold-blooded and ruthless. Song Yuxuan paused, "even more unreasonable" that she was the wife of the Son of Heaven after all. In the world of rituals and motherhood, it is one thing that I have not seen myself, and I have not worshipped, that is the other side.
There was still a thin thread of rain in the sky. Song Yuqiu is not used to Su Xue holding an umbrella for Song Yuqiu. Song Yusui was holding the paper umbrella alone. She said, "Behold the rain, like a trickle, drenching people; It is like a clear wave, bringing coolness and happiness to people...... This is not Song Yuqiu's umbrella, but Song Yuqiu's feet. I am also a good person, I can't enjoy the convenience of walking, I have to do it, the ground is wet and slippery, Su Xue helps me, but two cups of tea, to Zhaoyang Palace.
The two words of "Zhaoyang" are painted with gold plaques hanging high, a color of glazed tiles spreads through, the eyes want to wear, the magnificent atmosphere between the carved beams and the flying phoenix are still visible on the partition wall.
Zhaoyang Hall and the emperor's daily life of the Zhenguan Hall echo each other, named Zhaoyang, one is the palace design is magnificent, which shows the scorching trend of the sun, the other is a metaphor for the twelve halls where the concubine lives in the shadow of the Zhaoyang Palace, and the concubine should serve the wife humbly.
It's a pity that the Zhaoyang Hall in front of him gives people a sense of depression for no reason, and there is no sunshine in the city. Maybe it's because the sun is too faint under the clouds today; Or maybe it's because the sun is too bright today. In short, none of this seems to be able to present the mystery and nobility of Zhaoyang Palace to the world. Or because of today's rainy weather, or because of the current Zhaoyang Palace, the Liu family is easy-going and docile.
The Liu family was born in a famous family, and when he ascended the throne now, he served as the crown prince Liangdi. Now on the throne, the Empress Dowager Chengxiang forcibly hired her niece Zhang is located in the middle palace, and the Liu family has to get the title of concubine without resentment. Before marrying the eldest princess of the Zhang family, the Liu family once said to her: "Song Yusui is a good daughter, you can marry Song Yuxuan!" However, the eldest princess refused to accept that the Liu family was a woman. The Zhang family was arrogant and domineering, and there were many acts of cruelty to concubines, so they were wronged for another 5 years, and after the Qian rebellion subsided in Changxing 5 years, the Zhang family was deposed and Fang Li was the queen.
After a few twists and turns, it is a pity that God has no mercy on her, and after Changxing gave birth to the emperor's eldest son in the sixth year, she was born with a limp. As a result, the queen's status in the harem also plummeted and became the target of public criticism. In order to save the prince, the queen had to hide her life experience incognito. However, this ending did not change the fate of the queen. Stimulated by this, since giving birth to the emperor's eldest son, the queen mother has been bent on Buddha and has no fixed residence.

It was almost noon, but the Zhaoyang Hall was still full of people. Su Xue knocked on the door, and the palace maid half leaned on the door, squinting at Su Xue, slightly unpleasant, and after Su Xue made her intentions clear, the palace maid stood upright, looked at Song Yusui with her hands up and down, and smiled politely: "The queen mother is reading the scriptures, and she doesn't meet guests, please go to Shunyi Bai!" As she spoke, she picked up a big bamboo basket from the back kitchen, handed it to Song Yu, and put the big bamboo basket in a small basket, saying that she was waiting for the queen to receive her. Song Yuxuan took the bamboo basket and walked towards the harem. She owed her body to chat with Song Yuqiu to apologize, for the queen's summons, Song Yuqiu was not hopeful, and she couldn't talk about her disappointment, just waiting for Song Yuqiu to turn her head and leave, suddenly another person called Song Yuqiu and said: "Shunyi stay a step!" โ
Dressed in a bright red palace dress that can only be used in the Shang Palace, with a small silver rose at the end of the bun, the gorgeous hair on the temples is set off by bright colors but not obtrusive, she should be older than Shen Siyao, and she doesn't need to ask much to know that she is the queen's close attendant Jia Luo - Xiao Susu, the first person in the Shang Palace Bureau.
"The queen has someone who invited Su Shunyi. Song Yusui walked out of the study, pushed open the door, and saw Xiao Susu standing outside the door, with her hands on her hips, and said to Song Yusui with a solemn and serious expression. "What? You don't know yet! Song Yuqiu was stunned. Song Yusui was surprised that the queen was summoned, but Xiao Susu ignored Song Yusu's surprise, smiled and spoke repeatedly, her voice was soft, but there was a non-angry and self-authoritative posture hidden between her eyebrows and eyes, I am afraid that it is not the quiet and serene I see, and I am afraid that she is a powerful character.
Song Yuxuan tamely retracted her eyebrows and said, "Please Shanggong lead the way!" She smiled and said, "You are Song Yuxuan's little princess, Song Yuxuan is your eldest lady, your own sister!" Song Yusui nodded and said, "Thank you." Xiao Susu nodded. Shanggong is a five-grade, Shunyi is a five-grade, Song Yusui still respectfully saluted her half, Xiao Susu smiled faintly, and what was deeper was to return the blessing to Song Yuqiu.
Su Xue wanted to go in with Song Yuxuan, but Xiao Susu blocked the door and said, "The Queen Mother just summoned Su Shunyi." Su Xue just rolled her eyes and waited for Song Yuxuan to speak. Xiao Susu seemed to have something to embarrass her, so she smiled and said, "Go ahead!" Do you know how Song Yuqiu dealt with you? Su Xue asked suspiciously, "Why do you want to do this?" Song Yusui thought about it, although the queen mother had an unknown temperament, she was not necessarily so powerful that she swallowed Song Yuqiu, there was nothing wrong with eating alone, so she explained to Su Xue and the others.
The sky in the courtyard of Zhaoyang Palace was dim, and the scenery of the rain curtain in the compartment became more and more hazy, and the light was blocked by the ancient trees with interlaced branches. Under several acacia trees, a long shadow hangs from the iron rope swing; In the distance, a crystal clear stream meanders through the depths of the trees, and the sound of the water is like the sound of heaven. This is the place where the Qing Dynasty poet Liu Xizai wrote about the "sound of the stream and the birds" - Longtan Valley. The bushes below are lined with golden silk nanmu and red-leaved privet, and the cobblestone path is paved with fallen leaves, which have not been sprinkled and swept for days.
The rhododendrons half-bloomed and hid under the leaves, quietly burning and charming, and the vines grew wildly under the trellises, winding unscrupulously around the columns. It was an early afternoon evening, and the sunset was shining brightly. Suddenly, a rush of footsteps pierced the silent night sky, followed by a shrill cry: "Mother! There was silence in front of the main hall, and he didn't even see the palace people, only listening to the rain dripping down along the Changle Weiyang Wadang, which was so terrifying that it seemed to be cursed, and Song Yuxuan unconsciously slowed down his pace.
Sensing that Song Yu was strange, Xiao Susu leaned down to pick up the dead leaves in the corridor, and Wen Ran said: "The queen likes to be quiet, so there are very few servants in Zhaoyang Palace, and Shunyi doesn't have to be afraid." She smiled and said, "Do you still need to ask?" Do you know why I'm doing this? Song Yuxuan was stunned for a moment and said, "This has something to do with Song Yuxuan's identity!" She nodded. Why? Song Yuxuan's heart was seen through by her at a glance, and when she was about to explain, she walked forward without looking back, and never said anything again.
