Chapter 28: Weiwei, the only big maid by the emperor's side
The emperor didn't eat anything at night, and it was useless for Xiao Rang to persuade him, but now Xia Qianwei sent in less than half of the food, indicating that the emperor not only saw her, but also ate the supper she sent.
After the emperor was fifteen years old, there were countless palace maids who wanted to get close to him, but the emperor ignored any of them.
Xia Qianwei was the first palace maid to gain the emperor's trust, and in the first half of this month, the emperor transferred Xia Qianwei to the Funing Palace to wait.
Now I can actually send supper to the emperor privately.
Xiao Rang glanced at Xia Qianwei's back from a distance, and estimated that this palace maid named "Weiwei" would sooner or later become one of the mothers of the emperor's harem, if it weren't for her status being too low, it would not be impossible to go one step further.
As a result, the progress was faster than Xiao Rang thought, and the next day, "Weiwei" actually became one of the big maids of the Funing Palace, and she could wait by the emperor's side.
Funing Hall has always been served by eunuchs, only some small palace maids who do rough work, this "Weiwei" is the first and only big maid by the emperor's side.
Early the next morning, Xia Qianwei, who was about to go to Qin Shumin's side to serve, got a piece of news, her expression narrowed, and she asked the little eunuch who came to report the news next to her, "Are you sure?" ”
"Back to Miss Weiwei, it's true, the news that the Xia family sent in early in the morning, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess's car has left the eldest princess's mansion and is coming in the direction of the palace."
Xia Qianwei chuckled in her heart.
Two days ago, the Xia family bought the eldest princess's property, and the younger brother injured the second young master of the Gu Mansion again, the eldest princess turned her head and entered the palace, did the eldest princess want to complain to the emperor?
The emperor and the eldest princess are sisters and brothers, and the emperor is a nostalgic one, although his uncle is the regent, but he has not yet held all the power in his hands and completely overthrew the emperor. In case the emperor gets angry, the Xia family is afraid that they will suffer!
Xia Qianwei's willow eyebrows twisted, and after thinking for a while, she said to the little eunuch who came to report the news: "Later, I will write a note, and you will help me send it to the Regent's Mansion and hand it over to the chief butler, please be sure to hand it over to the regent as soon as possible." ”
"Yes, Miss Vivi."
Xia Qianwei quickly went back to the room and wrote a note and handed it to the little eunuch, who rolled up the note and stuffed it into a thin and long bamboo tube and hid it in his sleeve, and then left quickly.
After Qin Shuhuang got up, he asked Shiyu to choose a peacock green and sky blue palace dress for her to change into, covered with a bright yellow five-tailed phoenix that only the royal emperor could wear, and boarded the princess's car, surrounded by Xuan Cang and other guards to go to the palace.
Qin Shuhuang stroked the brocade box in his hand, which contained the Taoist robe she personally made for the imperial brother, and I didn't know what the imperial brother would look like when he wore it.
The Eldest Princess's Mansion is located in the inner city of the capital, very close to the palace.
In less than two quarters of an hour, he entered the palace gate.
Her relationship with the royal brother since she was a child is not ordinary, after marrying, the royal brother gave her a token to enter the palace at any time, and she can also ride in the palace at will.
After entering the palace, Qin Shuhuang changed the footsteps carried by the eight eunuchs in the palace.
All the way to the no-man's land, directly to the Qinzheng Palace.
This is the place where Qin Shumin summons the ministers every day after reviewing the recitals, and Qin Shumin spends most of his time here.
As soon as Qin Shuhuang arrived outside the Qinzheng Palace, a young eunuch's eyes lit up and greeted him.
In front of Qin Shuhuang, the young eunuch saluted respectfully, "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, why are you here?" ”
This eunuch's name is Xiao Qing, twenty years old, he is the godson of Xiao Neiguan, when Qin Shuhuang was not married, Xiao Qing followed Xiao Rang and served by Qin Shumin's side.
Xiao Qing said and personally helped Qin Shuhuang to take a step.
Qin Shuhuang looked at him, he hadn't seen him for many years, Xiao Qing's hair was not white, and he didn't look like he was withered.
Qin Shuhuang said: "In the palace for many days, I missed the emperor's brother, so I came." Is the royal brother still in the court? ”
Xiao Qing said with a smile: "The emperor will be happy when he sees His Royal Highness, and the court is arguing very much today, maybe it will delay the next court, Your Highness might as well follow the slave to the side hall to sit, and the slave will make you a new dragon well this year." A few days ago, the emperor praised the new Longjing as good! ”
Qin Shuhuang nodded.
Xiao Qing helped Qin Shuhuang to the side hall of the Qinzheng Palace.
Xiao Qing quickly made Longjing in person, and asked the palace maids to bring Qin Shuhuang's favorite snacks.
Qin Shuhuang tasted the dragon well, put down the cup, and saw that Xiao Qing was still there, and frowned: "You don't go to the emperor's side to serve?" ”
Xiao Qing smiled, "Today, the emperor is not on duty by his side, and the servants are serving by your side, Your Highness." ”
Qin Shuhuang was strange, "Your master is by the emperor's side?" ”
Xiao Qing shook his head, "The master is not in the palace today, Si Tianjian suddenly came to see the emperor early this morning, saying that it was a recent drought and the weather was abnormal, and the emperor needed to pray to his ancestors, and the emperor would have to go to the temple early, so he asked the master to take people to the temple to sweep the sacrifices first." ”
Xiao Rang was not in the palace.
"Then who is serving the emperor?"
Xiao Qing replied truthfully: "It's Xiao Dong and the new big maid Miss Weiwei." ”
Xiao Dong!
Hearing this name, Qin Shuhuang couldn't help but clench his fists.
Xiao Qing and Xiao Dong are both Xiao Rang's godsons.
But Xiao Dong had already secretly taken refuge in Qin Wei and became a dog lurking beside the emperor's brother who could bite but not bark.
The tragic ending of the royal brother has his help!
Even the deaths of Xiao Rang and Xiao Qing were caused by him.
And who is this "Weiwei"?
Because of the rules set by the queen mother and the upbringing of the royal brother since childhood, the imperial brother has never had a personal young palace maid to serve him before the wedding, why did he suddenly have a big maid by his side.
Xiao Qing saw that the eldest princess's expression was different, and he was afraid that the eldest princess would think too much, so he immediately explained to the emperor, "Xiao Dong, like the minion, is used to serving the emperor, and it was brought out by the master, so Your Highness can rest assured." As for Miss Weiwei, she is just a palace maid who serves by the emperor's side, and the emperor is benevolent and filial, and will never break the rules set by the first queen. ”
Qin Shuhuang bowed, "Don't worry, the imperial brother is the younger brother of this palace, how can this palace easily blame the imperial brother." ”
Qin Shuhuang waited in the side hall for an hour and a half, but there was still no movement from the previous dynasty, and it was almost noon at this time.
The tea in Qin Shuhuang's cup was changed three times, and Xiao Qing was embarrassed.
Xiao Qing took the initiative to say: "Your Highness, wait a minute, the slave will go to the front to see the situation and tell the emperor." ”
Qin Shuhuang waved him to go.
Xiao Qing took the two little eunuchs and walked quickly to the Wende Hall of the Shang Dynasty.
He gestured at the side door to Xiao Dong, who was waiting for the emperor.
Xiao Dong caught a glimpse of him and quietly stepped back from behind the emperor.
"Why are you here at this time? What's up? Xiao Dong said with a frown.
Xiao Qing's face was full of anxiety, "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess came to see the emperor, she has been waiting in the side hall for an hour and a half, when will she be able to go down?" ”
Xiao Dong's eyes flicked towards the court, "I've been arguing for military expenses and river improvement all morning, and I don't know when it will end!" ”
Xiao Qing was helpless, why did these courtiers quarrel today, didn't the regent care?
"Then you whisper to the emperor that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is here, and I will go back and pass the news to Her Highness."
Xiao Dong nodded, "Don't worry, I'll go tell the emperor." ”
Xiao Qing got Xiao Dong's promise and left with confidence.
Xiao Dong gently returned to Qin Shumin and stood behind him.
Qin Shumin knew what he had just done, and he asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”
Xiao Dong lowered his eyebrows, "It's almost noon, Xiao Qing came over and asked the emperor when you will go down to the court, so that you can prepare lunch." ”
As soon as he heard that it was such a trivial matter, Qin Shumin no longer cared about it, the court affairs were important, and it was nothing to eat less.
