Chapter 87: Entering the Palace
According to the regulations of Daqi, banquets can be divided into large banquets, medium banquets, regular banquets, and small banquets. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a medium banquet, and the temporary new family banquet before the festival is a small banquet.
Although it is a small banquet, the emperor is set up in the Taihe Palace, which is extremely inconsistent with the ancestral system. The decoration of the Taihe Hall is very gorgeous, it is the largest area and the highest level building in the entire imperial palace, and the main purpose here is to hold the emperor's enthronement ceremony.
With the longer he reigns today, his temperament is becoming more and more unpredictable, and many whims are against the ancestral system, but no one dares to say anything, he is the emperor and he has the final say.
As the name suggests, the family banquet is a banquet that only the royal family can attend, and Xiao Wenjun is not qualified to participate before he marries into the royal family.
"Queen, do you think I should go?" Xiao Wenjun looked at the queen with a coquettish smile, as if the juniors in the family were seeking the guidance of the elders.
"You kid, go if you want." The queen understood her eyes and intended to befriend her.
Yu Wenyao had to invite Xiao Wenjun in front of the queen, because she was sure that she would not refuse in front of the queen.
In fact, Xiao Wenjun also wants to enter the palace and meet three loves, even if he can only see the emperor from afar, and only when he sees the emperor with his own eyes can he be steadfast and make further plans.
"The lord of this county agreed." Xiao Wenjun has an arrogant attitude.
"Tomorrow, the king's carriage will be waiting at the gate of the county lord's mansion." Yu Wenyao's eyes flashed gloomily, and the anger pressed on his chest eased a lot, after tomorrow, look at how arrogant you are, even if you beg for mercy obediently, this king will not let you go!
After finishing the matter, several people no longer had the heart to greet each other, and they dispersed.
……
On the second day, the carriage arranged by Yu Wenyao stopped at the main gate of the county lord's mansion on time.
When Xiao Wenjun came out of the gate, he saw the carriage with colorful glass beads hanging at the four corners, raised his eyebrows, and got into the carriage as if nothing happened, and followed the spring and summer behind him.
The decoration in the carriage is even more gorgeous, a small incense burner is smoked on the small table of rosewood, a large group of peony flowers are embroidered on the cushion made of brocade, and the cushion is still made of red sandalwood, and a set of white jade tea cups are placed on the left side of the collapse.
When I came in in the spring and summer, I was secretly stunned when I saw this interior, the Xiao family's old mansion was not bad for food and clothing, but it was still a little dwarfed by this, the things used by the prince were really excellent, an inconspicuous carriage, and it was so luxurious inside.
Seeing that the county lord of his family closed his eyes and recuperated, Chun Xia also put away his thoughts, and began to carefully check the furnishings of the carriage, especially the incense burner, smelling nothing abnormal, but he still picked it up and put it down, and checked it several times.
Today, he had to come with him, knowing that he couldn't enter the palace, and he also persuaded the county lord not to take the carriage of the third prince, but the county lord said that the other party set up a bureau and didn't obediently jump inside, how could he let his guard down.
The county lord's mansion is not far from the palace, and soon the carriage will arrive at the gate of the palace, and Aunt Qinghan beside Wang Guifei is already waiting.
Xiao Wenjun got out of the carriage with a smile and hugged Qing Han affectionately, "How dare you bother my aunt to come over, it's my sin." ”
"It's okay, the county lord has tormented the slaves. Please get on the sedan chair, the concubine is looking forward to you. ”
Qing Han also smiled, but she had a different idea in her heart, she had seen Xiao Wenjun's methods yesterday, and she didn't even give the prince face, but today she was so polite?
Seeing Xiao Wenjun get on the soft sedan chair, Qing Han made a gesture, and the group walked towards the palace.
The window of the ordinary sedan chair outside the palace is covered with a cloth curtain, while the soft sedan chair in the palace is specially made, and the window is made of transparent glazed pieces, which can not only increase the light, but also be more beautiful.
Xiao Wenjun looked out the window through the glass piece, the familiar scenery in the palace passed by one by one, and the painful memories came to her heart again, even if she was resolute, she was almost out of control at this moment.
Gritting the tip of his tongue, forcing himself to calm down, there is still a tough battle to be fought today, this is the first time he has faced Yu Wenyao since he was reborn, she knows him too well, as long as he takes the initiative to make a move, he will definitely kill with one blow, leaving no chance for the opponent to turn over.
From the moment he stepped into the palace gate, Xiao Wenjun's nerves tightened, and he didn't sleep all night last night, thinking about how Yu Wenyao would deal with him. Those methods in his previous life are obviously no longer suitable, what means will he use to wait for him?
Just as her thoughts were scattered, Qinghan's voice sounded in her ears, "County Lord, it's time to get off the sedan chair, the road behind can only be walked." ”
The rules of the palace are strict, and those who enter the palace can only get off the horse and get off the sedan chair and walk to the front court when they get off the horse monument. Today, Xiao Wenjun is entrusted with the blessing of Wang Guifei, and is allowed to take a sedan chair to the Arrow Pavilion, and then the road to the inner court must be walked.
Qing Han led Xiao Wenjun to the harem, and the palace people he met along the way were all walking quickly, bowing slightly, lightly and orderly, and the shaking range of the hem of his clothes was negligible.
When he saw them, he bowed silently and stepped aside, and only after the person had passed in front of him did he get up and continue his work. It can be seen that the rules in the palace are great.
Along the way, Qing Han was quietly observing Xiao Wenjun, seeing that she did not squint, and she followed the rules with her gestures, and couldn't find the slightest mistake. couldn't help nodding secretly, the person that the concubine took a fancy to was really not bad.
At this moment, Wang Guifei had already sent someone to wait at the gate of Xianfu Palace, she was worried that Xiao Wenjun would make a mistake when she entered the palace for the first time, so she ordered someone to prepare several sets of dresses and jewelry, just waiting for someone to come, and immediately change them from beginning to end.
"It's coming! The county lord has arrived. When the waiting little palace maid saw Qing Han, she turned around and ran to the palace to report the news.
Seeing this, Qing Han's face couldn't help but sink, and considering that Xiao Wenjun was here, he didn't have a seizure.
Wang Guifeizai looked Xiao Wenjun up and down carefully, not even a single hair was spared, and after circling around her a few times, she said with a smile: "It's me who is worrying, your body is more suitable than the one I picked." ”
"Niangniang has a heart, I look at that set of pink palace clothes is very good-looking, if Niangniang is willing to cut love, give it to me." Xiao Wenjun pursed his lips and smiled.
Xiao Wenjun deliberately dressed up today, neither outstanding nor clumsy, and was generous, and he felt good at first glance.
"Take everything you like, for today you are in a hurry, for these are new clothes, but they are a little old. Next time, I will get good materials and make you a few clothes, and the girl's family will be dressed all day long, what will she look like. ”
Qingshuang sighed in her heart, and when her master met a junior she liked, she began to nag endlessly.
"Niangniang, county lord, the dinner is about to start, and it is estimated that the other masters in the palace have already set off." Qingshuang reminded.
"Ouch! Look at my memory. After Wang Guifei sorted out her appearance, she grabbed Xiao Wenjun and walked out of the door.
When he was about to arrive at the Taihe Palace, Xiao Wenjun saw an acquaintance, and unconsciously hooked a touch of ridicule on the corner of his mouth.
I saw Concubine Guo from a distance, because her status was not high, and she only had two female histories behind her, seeing this situation, she was obviously waiting outside the door for a long time, and she looked shabby and cramped against the concubines who were surrounded by a group of palace people.
