Chapter 3 Tangli
On the last night before entering the palace, the family members could meet and see me off as usual. My parents took my brother and two sisters to see me. WWW.tsxsw.COM Fangruo brought a fucking man early to leave, but we were crying in tears.
From then on, I have lived in the deep palace, and it is very difficult to meet each other.
I stopped crying and looked at Yu Yao and Yu Rao. Yu Yao Gang was twelve years old and had just grown up. Although she was not as good as me, she was also very delicate. She was too gentle and weak and indecisive. I am afraid that it would be difficult to achieve any kind of climate in the future. Yu Rao is still young, only seven years old, but her eyes are mostly spiritual, bright and lively, and she is extremely smart. My parents said that she looked seven or eight like me when she was young, and she would definitely be like a slum in the future. Therefore, I love her very much, and she is also very close to me.
Yu Yao tried his best to restrain her crying and held her mother's hand to shed tears. Yu Rao didn't know much about human affairs, so she just held my neck and cried, "Sister, let's go away, A Rao." They are still young and cannot take care of anything for their family. Fortunately, my brother Zhen Heng was young and promising. Although he was only four years older than me, he was already both civil and military. He only waited for the army to guard the border after three months and made achievements for the country.
I stared at my mother. She was only in her early forties, but she was well maintained at home for daily life and looked younger. However, within March, the eldest son and daughter were about to leave, with more sadness on her face and a little pale pale on her temples. She used silk to wipe the intermittent tears on her face, but the tears rolled down like winding streams, and could not wipe them clean.
I was very sad and hugged my mother with tears in my eyes and advised, "Mom, I am in the palace and I will not suffer much grievance. My brother is also going to earn fame and fortune and will come back soon. Otherwise, the two sisters can still be happy." My mother hugged me and still sobbed.
My mother wiped away her tears and reminded her: "I often hear people say 'As soon as I enter the palace gate is as deep as the sea', and now it is my turn. Huan'er should feel more sorry for herself. She should pay attention to her relationships with her concubines. If she can tolerate her, she should not argue with others and cause trouble, especially the concubine Hua who is favored in the palace. It is good if you can be blessed to be the emperor's favorite concubine in the future, but my mother only needs a good daughter. Therefore, her life is even more important, and you must protect yourself first no matter what."
I forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, mom, I've recorded it all. I hope my parents can take care of themselves."
Dad looked sad and silent, and said solemnly: "Huan'er, all your honor and disgrace will be in yourself in the future. Naturally, the honor and disgrace of the Zhen family will depend on you."
I nodded vigorously, looked up and saw that my brother seemed to be a little worried and kept saying nothing. I knew that my brother was not the person hesitating like this, so I said, "Dad and mother, please take your sisters to rest. Huan'er has a few words to say to her brother."
After repeated advice from my parents, they finally went out reluctantly.
My brother never thought I would take the initiative to keep him, and he looked slightly surprised. I said gentlely: "If you have anything to say, brother, now."
My brother hesitated for a while and took out a piece of flower paper from his sleeve. There was a faint fragrance of herbs on the paper. I could tell who wrote it as soon as I smelled it. My brother finally spoke: "Wen Shichu asked me to bring it to you. I have been thinking about it for two days, but I don't know if I should let you know."
I glanced at the flower note indifferently and said, "Brother, he is confused, are you confused too? What a crime for the emperor's concubine to give private gifts."
My brother's words gradually lowered and he sighed: "I know the crime is invading the palace. It's just his love..."
My voice suddenly became cold: "Zhen Huan knows she can't bear it!" I saw my brother's face feeling ashamed, and his tone was gentle: "Don't you understand Huan'er yet? Brother Chu is not the one I think in my heart, and Huan'er doesn't have the one I think in my heart."
The brother nodded slightly: "He also cannot reply to things, but he just wants you to understand his feelings. Shi Chuyi and I have always had a good relationship, and I really can't bear to see him suffer from lovesickness." He paused and put the letter in my hand, "You can deal with this letter yourself."
I said "um" and put the letter on the table, with a calm tone: "Help me tell Wen Shichu that I will be his imperial physician, so I don't have to worry about me anymore."
My brother stared at me: "I will pass the words to you. But according to his personality, it may not be as you wish."
I didn't agree, so I reached out and pulled out a silver hairpin to illuminate the candle wick, gently blowing off the candlesticks with sparks picked out from the hairpin. "Brother just bring the words. This is a reminder for him. It's good for me and him. If I can't do it, it may not be harmful to me. I just told him to know that now I am different from him, and it's not the same as before." After that, he turned around and took out a sky-blue robe and handed it to my brother, and said softly: "Huan'er made a new robe, hoping that my brother would see it as if he saw Huan'er. The border was bitter and cold, and the palace was hard. Both brother and Huan'er should take care of each of them."
My brother put away his robe, his eyes full of reluctance, and he looked at me quietly. I was speechless for a long time, and I was still a little girl of six or seven years old, with her hair drooping. My brother put me on his shoulders and carried me to climb the most beautiful pomegranate flower in May.
I calmed down and asked Huanbi to send her brother away. Looking at his back, my heart felt sad and big tears rolled down.
My life Liuzhu took a brazier in and was about to burn Wen Shichu's letter paper. Suddenly, there was a huge tear mark on the back of the letter paper, which seemed to be bleeding on the lotus-red flower paper. I finally couldn't bear it. When I opened it, I saw only two short lines of regular characters: "As soon as the Houmen enters the deep sea, Xiao Lang is a passerby from now on." The moji was weak and slow, thinking that it was sad and weak when I started writing.
I was annoyed in my heart that there was such a self-indulgent person. I didn't like him. How could he be my Xiao Lang? I just kneaded the letter into a ball and threw it into the brazier. The flower paper was immediately swallowed by the flames.
Liu Zhu immediately took the brazier out, Huanbi came up and poured incense slices, and advised in a soft voice: "Have you made the lady angry again? Although he has a good relationship, he can't use it. Miss, don't be as good as him."
I drank a sip of tea and was upset. A half month ago, the palace excerpt came to ask for "Ping An Med" for me. The rule of imperial doctors in the palace were not allowed to be ordered by the emperor, and they could not ask for pulses for people outside the royal family to diagnose diseases. However, he had always had good friends with my family, so he often came to free privately. That day, he sat in the small hall of my pavilion. After taking the pulse for a while, he pondered for a while, and suddenly said to me: "Sister Huan, if I come to propose marriage, would you marry me?"
I was stunned immediately, and my face was so embarrassed that I blushed and said with a stern face: "Mr. Wen said today, Zhen Huan just pretended that he had never heard of it."
He was both ashamed and in a hurry, and said repeatedly: "It's my fault, I'm not good, sister Huan is abrupt. Please calm down. Shi Chu just hopes that my sister will not go to the palace to choose."
I barely suppressed my anger and called out: "I'm tired. Save the guests!" I took him out halfway.
Before leaving, he looked at me with his eyes and said to me earnestly: "I can't guarantee anything else, but I can guarantee that I will be good to Sister Huan for the rest of my life. I hope my sister will consider it. If she is willing, let Brother Heng tell me and I will come and propose marriage immediately."
I turned around and looked at the ebony carved embroidered screen behind me without saying a word.
I ignored this matter anymore and did not mention it to my parents and brothers.
Wen Shichu is really not the person I think. I can’t just marry myself just because I don’t want to be selected. If I only have two ways to enter the palace and marry Wen Shichu in my life, I would rather enter the palace. At least I don’t have to face a man like Wen Shichu whom I have been familiar with since childhood and don’t like, and grow old with him, and be a couple who are not happy or divorced, and have a mediocre life. My life shouldn’t be known at first glance, at least I will enter the palace or another world.
I was upset. I ignored Huanbi's advice to me to fall asleep, put on a cloud-silk cloak and walked alone to the corridor.
The veranda was Chun Jixuan, who lived in Lingrong. After thinking about entering the palace tomorrow, she would definitely talk to Aunt Xiao and was inconvenient to go to her, so she turned around and walked into the garden. Suddenly, she was very nostalgic about the Zhen Mansion, which had lived for fifteen years. Every grass and tree were all the thoughts of the past, and she couldn't help but feel sad about the scene.
After walking around, the sky was getting late. I was afraid that Aunt Fangruo and a maid and servants had already been anxious, so I quickly walked back. Bypassing Xulangzhai where my brother lived, it was my Kuaixuexuan. As I was walking, I suddenly heard a slight sound of whispering by the corner door of Xulangzhai, and a petite figure stood. I thought it was the maid serving my brother, and was about to ask, but my heart suddenly lit up. Who was that person who was not Ling Rong?
I hurriedly hid behind a sycamore tree. Ling Rong looked at the tall figure of her brother in front of Xulangzhai's bedroom window. The mercury moonlight leaked from the leaves of the sycamore tree. The shadows of the branches and leaves fell on her body like sparse embroidery, making her look even more weak and slender, with a nice figure. The corners of her clothes were blown up by the night wind, but she still felt no chill in the wind. The weather was already mid-September, before Xulangzhai.
The leaves of several sycamore trees planted began to fall. The night was late, and the yellow leaves fell in the fallen ropes were faintly heard Ling Rong's crying with great depression, and suddenly felt a sense of depression. Even if Ling Rong had feelings for his brother, he was probably destined to be destined to be destined in this life. The night wind blew, and I somehow remembered Wen Shichu's words, "As soon as the Marquis enters the deep sea, Xiao Lang is a passerby from now on." Yu Lingrong said, this was really suitable for the situation.
After watching silently for a long time, Ling Rong finally left quietly.
I looked up at the lights in my brother's house, and was secretly surprised. I always claimed to be extremely smart, but I didn't realize that Ling Rong had secretly fallen in love with my brother in just over ten days. This relationship was quite good, so that she cried at her brother's figure the night before entering the palace. I don't know if Ling Rong was shy and concealed it too well or if I was unhappy recently and had no time to pay attention, I was really negligent. If my brother and Ling Rongzhen had something, it would not only ruin themselves, but also cause great disasters to affect the An and Zhen families.
I couldn't help but worry, and then I thought that according to the situation tonight, my brother probably didn't know what Ling Rong was thinking about him. At most, Ling Rong Luohua was interested. But I should mention Ling Rong appropriately. It is not easy for her to enter the palace, so it would be better not to miss her future in the palace.
When I returned to the room, I had nothing to say all night. I was already light in my sleep, and after pretending to be so many things, it was even more difficult to fall asleep. As I tossed and turned, it was already bright.
My last night at my parents' home passed like this!
On September 15th, a large group of people in the palace, ministers holding rituals, and palace maids from the inner prison came to welcome Lingrong and me into the palace with great ceremonial guards. Although it was just the palace concubines entering the palace, the show was still extremely extravagant, not to mention that two little masters were carried out from one door, and dozens of officials and civilians from the streets rushed over to watch the fun.
I said goodbye to my parents and sisters with tears in my eyes and entered the palace by car. When I was sitting in the sedan chair, the sound of fireworks and drums in my ears was vaguely heard the faint crying of my mother and sisters.
Liu Zhu and Huanbi followed me into the palace. They were both maids whom I served since childhood. Liu Zhu was smart and decisive, with a talent for adaptability; Huanbi was meticulous and gentle and considerate. Both of them were my right-hand men, and they would support me in the future. Surviving in the palace, if the people around me were unreliable, it would be like living on a cliff, always in danger of being crushed to pieces.
As soon as the auspicious time comes, under the guidance of the minister of the ritual, I supported the palace maid's sedan chair. The sedan chair stopped outside the Zhenshun Gate. Because it was a side concubine, not the main palace queen, I could only enter through the side gate.
As soon as I got off the sedan chair, I saw Meizhuang and Ling Rong. My heart was hanging down and comforted me a lot. Because I was not able to speak with the rules, I could only smile and signal to each other.
The weather on this day was very good, better than on the day of my talent show. It was blue and cloudless. The sunshine in the morning of autumn was bright and bright like gold.
Looking at the harem of Zi Ao City from outside Zhenshun Gate, the eaves are curled, and the golden and water-green glazed tiles sparkling like dazzling golden waves in the sun, making people unable to open their eyes, and they are full of wealth and peace.
I silently said in my heart: This is where I will survive in the future. I couldn't help but look up at the sky, and a group of geese flying south flew past the blue sky as blue as water.
There were already eunuchs wearing dark red robes waiting outside Zhenshun Gate. Surrounded by Luanyi Guards and Yulin Guards, I and several young masters led me and I to the palace where they lived. After entering Zhenshun Gate, I passed the Imperial Street and turned west from the road. The tall red walls on both sides were like red dragons, winding and unable to see the bottom. The large and small palaces were scattered and continuous. After walking for about a cup of tea, I stood in front of a palace. There were three large red gold characters on the plaque of the palace: Tangli Palace.
Tangli Palace is a small palace in the harem. It is located in the southwest corner of Shanglinyuan. It is a very secluded place. It is a two-entrance courtyard. After entering the door, you will see the main palace Yingxin Hall. There is a small garden behind Yingxin Hall. On both sides are the east-west side halls, and on the south is the Yinluxuan, which is for concubines to live in summer. The front porch of the two sides is connected to the back porch of the Yinluxuan, forming a courtyard. There are two huge Western Begonia trees in front of Yingxin Hall. Although it is not in the spring flower season,
It bears a lot of coral red fruits, and is accompanied by the green leaves that have passed through the wind and dew. A row of osmanthus trees have been newly transplanted in front of the courtyard corridor, all of which are newly tributed Yuzhou osmanthus, planted in a giant vat. The flowers are blooming and clusters of golden adorn the leaves, fragrant and fragrant. It is so fascinating to hear it from afar and refreshing. The garden behind the hall is full of pear trees, and autumn is now in full bloom. When spring comes, the flowers bloom like snow, and the fragrance is pleasant, which is a rare beauty. No wonder it is called "Tangli Palace", which is indeed a wonderful place.
I stood silently in the yard for a moment, glanced at the wardens who were kneeling on both sides, nodded slightly, and asked casually: "Is it the newly moved osmanthus?"
The palace maid who supported me beside me answered respectfully: "The queen told me that the new nobles in the palace will have a variety of osmanthus flowers in the palace to show that the new nobles will enter the palace and that the inner palace will be blessed."
I thought to myself that Ji Qing is good, but the queen did this a little too grandly, as if she was deliberately trying to show off something. However, she remained silent and let them carefully support me into the main hall and sit down.
In the front of Yingxin Hall, there is a platform facing the ground. In front of the red sandalwood carved crabapple embroidered screen, a dragon throne, a fragrant table, a palace fan, and a fragrant pavilion. The plaque "Mao Xiu Fu Hui Hui" written by the imperial letter of the former emperor Longqing was hung above it. This is the place where the emperor officially took the imperial carriage when he was in the fortunate.
I sat down in the main room, and Liu Zhu Huanbi stood on both sides. Two little palace maids presented tea. The head of Tangli Palace, the inner supervisor of Tangli Palace, Kang Luhai, and the head of the palace maid Cui Jinxi, entered the west main office, kowtowed to me, and said, "The head of Tangli Palace, the seventh-rank guard of the inner supervisor of Tangli Palace, Kang Luhai, will meet the nobleman of Guan, and will be happy and lucky." "The head of Tangli Palace, the seventh-rank guard of Tangli Palace, will be happy and lucky and lucky."
I looked at them. Kang Luhai was in his early thirties and was smart at first sight. His eyes were rolling around. Cui Jinxi was around thirty years old, with a long face, fair skin, black and bright eyes, and very steady and thick. I liked it at first sight.
After the two of them finished their visit, they led the four internal prisoners and six palace maids who were working under my name to kowtow to me to formally visit and signed up one by one. I slowly drank Lu'an tea, looked at the carved rosewood flower covers on top, and just silently did not speak.
I know that silence is often a very effective deterrent in front of the servants. Sure enough, they lowered their eyebrows and bowed their heads, and they didn't even dare to let out their vigor. The whole Yingxintang was so quiet that even a needle fell to the ground could be heard.
After taking two sips of tea, I ordered them to get up with a smile.
I put a celadon cover bowl together, and didn't look at them. I just slowly said to them: "In the future, you will be my people. In my name, smartness is naturally good. But..." I looked up and glanced coldly, and said: "The most important thing in being a slave is loyalty. If you are not on your master, you only think about the evil ways next to you, this head will be unstable! Of course, if you are loyal, I will treat you well."
The person standing underground suddenly looked shaking and said, "Slaves must never do anything that is sorry to the little master, and they must serve the little master faithfully."
I smiled with satisfaction and said "reward". Liu Zhu and Huanbi took the prepared silver and distributed it to the room, and the palace maid in the inner prison was thanked.
It is not known whether this move is effective, but it has now suppressed them. I know that if you want to control them and serve them honestly and obediently in the future, you must control them. You cannot become weak and incompetent masters who are deceived by their servants.
Jinxi stepped forward and said, "The little master is tired today, please go with me to rest first."
I wondered, "Don't you lead me to see the Lord of the Palace?"
Jinxi replied: "I don't know anything about it. Tangli Palace has no master position, and now it has the highest position of noble people."
I was about to ask who else lives in the palace. Jinxi was very smart and knew my intentions, and replied: "In addition, Chunchang lives in the East Side Hall, which is the palace that has been moving four days ago; the West Side Hall is Shi Meiren, who has been in the palace for three years. I will come to meet the noble master later."
I smiled and said, "I understand."
The rosewood carvings, green bamboo bats, and green gauze cabinets on both sides of Yingxin Hall, followed by the rosewood carvings and lotus flowers, glass green gauze cabinets. The east warm cabinet is the place where the emperor usually rests, the west warm cabinet is where I usually rest, and the bedroom is in the back hall of Yingxin Hall.
Jinxi helped me into the back hall. The back hall was decorated with rosewood carved frames of Wanfu and Longevity inlaid with large glazed partitions, divided into two main rooms, and arranged very elegantly.
Yan and I asked Jinxi with joy: "Where is Cui Shun from? How long have you been in the palace?"
She looked frightened and immediately knelt down and said, "I dare not. The little master called me a humble name."
I reached out to help her up and said with a smile, "Why be so frightened? I have always been unrestrained. Although we are masters and servants in terms of status, you are older than me and have done more things. I respect you very much. Get up and talk."
She then stood up, with a grateful look on her face and replied respectfully: "The little master said this, really killing me. I am from Yongzhou. I have been serving as a servant in the palace since I was a child. I used to serve as a concubine Qinren. I was criticized because I was not clumsy in doing things."
My smile became stronger and stronger, and my tone was gentle: "You have served the concubine, and you must be a safe and sensible person. If you have you to serve me, you will naturally be willing to give me 120 hearts. In the future, you and Eunuch Kang will take care of the miscellaneous things in the harem."
Her face turned slightly red and she said earnestly: "It is a blessing for me to serve the little master. I must do my best to do my best."
I turned around and called Huanbi, saying, "Get a pair of gold bracelets to reward Cui Shunren." I also asked Huanbi to give additional gold ingots to Kang Luhai.
Kang Luhai came in flatteredly and thanked Jinxi respectfully, served me to rest, and went to take care of the trivial matters in the palace.
Chapter completed!
