Chapter 3: Summoned to the Palace
"Mother thinks left, if her daughter can gain some face in front of His Majesty when she enters the palace this time, it is indeed a good thing to benefit her father and brother. Could it be that you really want to watch the eldest brother and the third brother live their lives like this? Pressed by the people of the West Cross Courtyard to never come out? ”
Hearing her daughter mention her two sons and their future prospects, Dong finally held back her tears.
Looking at Lin Wanyi's eyes, his eyes were full of apology and unbearability.
"Don't worry, my daughter is not a grass that can be rubbed by others, besides, as the second aunt said, isn't there a big sister in the palace to take care of one or two? You and I both know what they are planning, since they want me to help her fix her pet, they will naturally think of protecting my safety. ”
The words made Dong's heart more comforted.
At this point, it is useless to cry again, it is better to think about what to prepare for your daughter.
So she wiped away her tears and began to pack her up.
That night, Lin Wanyi said goodbye to her parents, and talked to her eldest brother and younger brother for a while, and then stopped.
When there was only one light left in the room, she lay on the bed and thought about what she was going to do with the rest of her life.
Those words in the day were just words to comfort her mother, and everything after entering the palace was unknown to her.
After tossing and turning for a long time, I fell asleep when the sky was a little bright.
So much so that she was still napping in the carriage entering the palace, and the maids Chunqi and Xia An, who accompanied her, looked at the black green under their young lady's eyes and the palace wall that was getting closer and closer, and they didn't know what to do as if they were playing drums.
"Miss, Miss......"
Hearing Chunqi's familiar voice, Lin Wanyi woke up from a light sleep.
"Arrived?"
"The palace attendant outside said that Shunzhen Gate is over, and this carriage is not allowed to enter."
Lin Wanyi bowed, took a deep breath and lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.
I saw that all around were high crimson palace walls, the plaque of Shunzhen Gate was hung in front of him, and the palace attendants who were responsible for receiving people stood in front of the carriage in a regular manner, a total of three people, all of whom were painted with ink and green, and were as thick as dark moss.
"Xu Guangping, the steward of the minion inner court, has seen Little Master Lin, please be safe with Little Master Lin."
"Father-in-law Xu is polite."
"The servant is here to wait for the little master, and I will send you to Chuxiu Palace later."
After entering the palace gate, everything should be ordered by others, Lin Wanyi was not arrogant, and followed this Xu Nei to enter the palace through the side door.
After the palace gate slowly closed, Lin Wanyi glanced outside the city, and when she turned around, she was already walking firmly, and her heart was free of distractions.
Entering Chuxiu Palace, what awaited her was a series of rigorous inspections, and the grandmothers refused to let go of even a single strand of hair from head to toe, and it took about half an hour to complete it.
"Little master, forgive me, these rules are all required to be checked by concubines entering the palace."
"It's okay, has Mama checked it?"
"Well, after the little master changes into his palace clothes, his own palace people will lead you to Yihua Palace."
Dare to toss for a long time, this is not the real place to stay, but once it comes, it is safe, Lin Wanyi did not have much resentment, and changed his clothes under the service of the palace people, and went to Yihua Palace.
The palace walls are majestic, and the palace rules are strict.
Along the way, they met several groups of palace maids and fathers-in-law, all of whom bowed their heads and saluted in a proper manner, and such a battle made Chun Qi and Xia An, who were following Lin Wanyi, swallow their saliva.
When it comes to the spirit of twelve, I am afraid that a little mistake will harm my own lady.
I was so nervous that I forgot to go through those doors and those palaces, and when I reacted, the three masters and servants were already standing in the east hall of Yihua Palace.
The one who led the way was an elderly grandmother, who said without a smile.
"Little Master Lin, this left hall is where you live in the future, it is all arranged, if there is anything lacking, just let the maid go to the inner court to get it."
"Thank you for your advice."
After that, he asked Xia An beside him to hand over a heavy purse, and the grandmother was not polite, and accepted the purse without a trace.
The tone was much kinder than just now, and he even kindly mentioned it.
"The little lord entered the palace a month late, and there is no concubine in this Yihua Palace, so the main hall is still idle, but the apse lives in the highest position of the show girl Chu Guiren, whose father is the Huwei general in the northwest, and the right hall lives in Mu Promise, her father is Huaiyin Zhixian, she is the same as the little master, and she can move around more on weekdays."
Sure enough, money can make the devil grind.
This grandmother explained the identity and background of the people who lived in the palace without a trace, but it solved Lin Wanyi's doubts.
"Mama has a heart."
"The little lord will rest first, and there will be someone from the palace to summon him later."
After speaking, he saluted respectfully, turned around and left the left hall.
After she left, Chunqi and Xia An relaxed and looked around curiously.
"Miss, someone is coming later?"
"It's about the people in the palace of the concubine, let's enter the palace for the first time, so naturally we want to see each other."
She was originally not from the draft, if it weren't for the concubine and the lord of Rongkang operating behind the scenes, I am afraid that she would not have entered the palace at this time.
Since you have entered the palace, of course you have to meet.
Chunqi nodded as if she didn't understand, but Xia An on the side reminded her.
"When you enter the palace, you can't call Miss anymore, you have to call the little master like those grandmothers."
Chunqi stuck out his tongue in embarrassment, "The slave forgot, Miss...... Oh no, little lord, what are we going to do next? ”
"Just put everything I brought."
"Don't we have to meet the rest of the people in this palace?"
"The rules of the harem are strictly hierarchical, Queen Xu died of illness for three years, and now the palace is the concubine Niangniang, so naturally I want to visit her first, it's not good to mess up the rules."
Lin Wanyi patiently explained.
There is no major event in the palace, Zuo is just serving the same man with a bunch of women.
But a woman's heart is full of needles, especially in the palace, and she is afraid that a wrong step will attract the attention of many people, so Lin Wanyi does not dare to take it lightly.
Fortunately, she has also acted "by looking at the eyes" at home over the years, so she will not break the rules.
Let Xia An order agarwood, smelling the familiar smell, but relieved a lot of tension among the three of them.
They didn't have much to bring, and they were all there in less than a moment.
The room on the left is the study, and most of the miscellaneous books that Lin Wanyi likes to read are placed on the Bogu shelf, and some clever toys that her father prepared for her to pass the time before entering the palace.
On the right is the bedroom, where the pineapple bed is carved with begonia flowers, and the top is covered with autumn-colored raccoon yarn.
Chunqi was asking Lin Wanyi how to use it for lunch when he heard someone from outside the house.
