Chapter 217: Are You a Little Eunuch Who Newly Entered the Palace?
When they arrived at the Taihe Palace, they could no longer sit in the sedan chair, and the sisters and brothers got down from the sedan chair and walked.
Although Mama Jin said not to look around, the sisters and brothers lowered their heads, or quietly looked around, after all, it is a palace, and ordinary people can't enter once in their lives, so they can't take a good look?
In a few days, there will be nothing to do, and they will have to go there for a walk.
After making an appointment with Meng Meng to travel to Tongcheng, they checked the history and places of interest in Tongcheng on the Internet, although Tongcheng is known as the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, but there are not many ancient buildings left in later generations, especially the Taiyong Palace, which was burned down by a fire hundreds of years ago.
It's a pity that such a large palace can't be photographed, and I don't know if it's feasible to secretly put a drone to shoot at night.
The Queen's Ivy Palace is in the north of the Taihe Palace, and the Yongle Palace where the emperor lives is one after the other.
After entering the Ivy Palace, the siblings were taken to the East Warm Pavilion, where they heard the sound of talking and the laughter of children playing. It's no different from ordinary people.
Mama Jin asked the sisters and brothers to wait outside, she stepped forward and said a few words to a grandmother who was guarding the door, and the grandmother looked at the sisters and brothers, nodded slightly and said hello, "County Lord, Lin Xiaolian will wait a while, and the slave will go in to report to the queen." ”
"There's Mama Lao." Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu also smiled back.
After the grandmother left, Mama Jin whispered, "The one just now is Mama Rong next to the queen, who usually looks at people above the top, and today is so polite, it should be the little pickles brought back by Fang's father-in-law last time to make her happy." ”
I didn't expect the little pickles I made to be so popular in the palace, and Lin Xiaoman was still a little flattered.
At the same time, I also know that Mama Jin is not a celebrity in the palace at all, and I think about it, how can the really powerful people around the queen let go out so far to spread the will?
But Mama Jin can be sent outside the palace, how can she be counted as the number one person in the palace.
But Mama Rong? Does it sound familiar? Looks like I've heard it somewhere.
After a while, Mama Rong came out of it, "County Lord, Lin Xiaolian, please come in with the old slave." ”
The sister and brother followed Mama Rong to the inside, and Mama Jin retreated.
When I entered the door, I saw a thick carpet on the floor outside, and a few smaller children were playing on the carpet, almost hitting the sister and brother who had just entered the door.
The sister and brother hurriedly took a few steps back, lowering their heads and not daring to look around.
One of the pink-looking little boys pointed at Lin Erhu and said, "Are you the little eunuch who has just entered the palace?" Seeing that you are good-looking, you will serve by the side of this emperor and grandson in the future. ”
Lin Erhu was a little panicked by him, didn't he say that the queen set up a banquet to eat? Why are you going to become a eunuch before you eat?
He has such excellent genes, and he plans to have a few more babies, but he can't be a eunuch.
Lin Erhu was so frightened that his little face turned white, Lin Xiaoman quietly pulled Lin Erhu behind him, if the queen really let people pull Erhu out and become a eunuch, she would be desperate, and she would have to pull a few cushions.
Fortunately, Mama Rong spoke, "Your Royal Highness, this is Lin Xiaolian who was sealed by the emperor, not a new eunuch who entered the palace." ”
The little emperor's face was not very happy, and he looked Lin Erhu up and down, as if he was considering how likely it was to turn him into a personal eunuch.
Mama Rong pulled Lin Xiaoman, who was tense, "County Lord, the queen is waiting for you inside." ”
Lin Xiaoman followed her and walked in again, but the hand holding Lin Erhu did not let go, and the corner of his eye kept staring at the little emperor grandson, if he dared to say a word and wanted Lin Erhu to be his personal eunuch, she would give up her life to strangle him first.
followed Mama Rong inside, Mama Rong said: "Niangniang, Lord Qingping, Lin Xiaolian is here." ”
The sisters and brothers immediately knelt down and greeted the queen with the etiquette they had just learned, "The folk girl Lin Xiaoman, the grass folk Lin Weizhen knock to see the queen." ”
The sister and brother knelt on the ground, and out of the corner of their eyes, they only saw a lot of feet on the ground in front of them.
After a while, a somewhat calm and soft female voice came from the top position, "Flat, quickly raise your head and let the palace take a look." "Listening to it makes people feel awe.
The sisters and brothers looked up as they said, and saw the queen, who was also dressed in regular clothes, sitting in the middle, looking at them with a smile.
A month later is the queen's fiftieth birthday, and I don't want her to look like she is only in her early thirties, which shows that she is very good at maintenance.
At the head of the queen, there were also several women dressed up, all around them with a noble appearance, although they looked at the two sisters and brothers with a smile, but there was only a look and scrutiny in their eyes, and there was no kindness at all.
The queen also saw the appearance of the sister and brother, Lin Xiaoman's appearance was unexpectedly good-looking, but because she went to the ground all the year round, it was slightly dark, but she was obviously a peasant girl, but she had a bookish atmosphere different from that of today's women.
The conversation and demeanor are not as shy as ordinary women, that is, many women in Beijing can't compare to her indifference. obviously wanted to show the bearing of the mother of a country, but looking at this face, she couldn't like it.
Women, whether they are rivals in love, or wives and concubines of children and grandchildren, she still prefers to look stupid. She has seen a few of them with this kind of temperament before, all of them are too upright.
Lin Erhu is not very old, and he still has the ignorance of children of the same age in his eyes, which makes the queen like it very much.
The queen looked at Lin Erhu for a while, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that this child's tiger-headed appearance was too pleasing.
The queen nodded slightly, as if she was very satisfied with the sisters and brothers, and introduced them to the ladies present one by one, and after the sisters and brothers saw each other one after another, they knew that these were the queen's daughters-in-law.
Among them, there are the crown princess, the fifth princess, and the seventh princess, Lin Xiaoman remembered that before entering the palace, Mama Jin said that the three princes who married were born to the queen, and there were also two princesses, four princesses, and eight princesses, and the princes they married were all born to concubines.
There is also a third prince and a sixth prince born to a noble concubine, but I didn't see their princess today, I don't know if the queen deliberately left them out, or if they didn't plan to come.
After all, the topic of discord between the queen and the concubine has been going on for a long time, and she doesn't even want to make a show.
What made Lin Xiaoman puzzled was that it was the emperor who ordered the queen to set up a banquet to announce their sister and brother entering the palace, why did they all come except for the queen, the crown princess and the princess? There's something wrong with it.
When the sister and brother were puzzled, the queen asked people to set up a seat next to her, sitting Lin Xiaoman on one side and Lin Erhu on the other.
"Your name is Xiaoman, and this palace will call you Xiaoman. How old is Xiaoman this year? ”
"Back to the queen, the folk girl is eighteen."
The queen smiled and slapped her hand twice, "You are now the lord of the county, you don't have to call yourself a people's daughter." ”
Lin Xiaoman didn't know how to call himself, but before he came, his grandmother taught etiquette, but he didn't mention how to claim himself, and he didn't know if he did it on purpose, or accidentally forgot it.
