Finally, Li Shimin praised Lin Wanwan a few more words and rewarded Lin Wanwan with a bunch of things.
There are two suet-fat jade combs with mandarin duck patterns, a green feather hairpin, and a crown inlaid with rubies, amber, agate, turquoise, pearls, kingfisher feathers and other materials. It is extremely luxurious, dignified and noble.
It looks like it is produced by the royal family, there is no other branch, and there are ten slaves to serve as partners.
Get rich, get rich!
This crown alone is a priceless treasure. It's a pity that I can't appreciate it carefully now. I must study it carefully when I leave the palace.
Lin Wanwan gratefully held the tray with gifts and exited the Liangyi Palace. As for the slave, she would naturally wait for her at the palace gate.
However, not long after she left the house, she was blocked by a palace maid again, saying that it was Queen Changsun who invited her.
Lin Wanwan was not so nervous when she went to meet the Changsun family. Li Shimin had already seen him (although he did not dare to raise his eyes to take a closer look at his appearance). There was nothing to be afraid of when meeting the Changsun family, who was known for his virtues in history.
So Lin Wanwan handed the emperor's reward to a dedicated chamberlain, followed the maid towards the harem with a relaxed pace.
Finally she could meet the emperor's women, and she was really curious.
After all, I have read too many palace fighting dramas and palace fighting novels, and I have a lot of imagination about palace concubines.
In addition to the maid leading the way, Chen Dianzan was still there. The etiquette of meeting the saint was different from that of meeting the queen, so she naturally had to educate Lin Wanwan.
In fact, she could just lead the way without popularizing science, but Lin Wanwan gave too much. She is not greedy for money, she just likes generous and cheerful ladies.
Taiji Palace is very large. Fortunately, Liangyi Palace, where Li Shimin handled government affairs daily, is very close to Li Zheng Palace, the residence of Changsun Palace.
Lin Wanwan didn't walk long before she saw the gate of Li Zheng Palace.
At this time, he met a group of palace people. In the middle, surrounded by stars, was a shoulder carriage with a gorgeously dressed beauty sitting on it.
Because of the floating gauze, I couldn't see her appearance clearly, I just felt that her posture was extremely lazy.
Lin Wanwan's heart moved. She came out of Queen Changsun's palace. Who is this beauty?
Chen Dianzan had already reminded Lin Wanwan in a low voice: "Lin Le'an, this is Concubine Yang, please give her a blessing."
Yang Concubine? Li Shimin had two Yang concubines. One was the eldest Concubine Yang, the daughter of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, and the other was the younger Concubine Yang, who was the wife of his younger brother Li Yuanji.
Needless to say, the daughter of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was uniquely endowed in winning over old officials of the Sui Dynasty.
Li Yuanji's wife was born into the Hongnong Yang family of the Guanlong aristocracy, so she was exempted from charges and included in the harem regardless of human ethics in order to appease the Guanlong aristocrats.
Moreover, both Yang and Yang were famous beauties in history, so it would naturally be more beneficial than harmful to Li Shimin to have them.
Who is this Concubine Yang in front of me?
When the four chamberlains carried the carriage and walked to Lin Wanwan and others, Lin Wanwan followed Chen Dianzan and the palace maids to perform a deep blessing.
Although she was extremely curious, she was not bold enough to look around in a feudal palace where there were no human rights.
But she didn't raise her head to look, but the person on the carriage spoke first: "Whose wife is this? How come I've never seen her before."
As soon as she spoke, the chamberlain carrying the carriage and the palace maid following her stopped.
The imperial court dress that Lin Wanwan wore today is the standard for married women, so the other party asked this question.
Seeing that the other person's question was about her, Lin Wanwan replied: "My daughter, Hou Tao Lin, has met Concubine Yang."
When she raised her head, she saw clearly the appearance of the beauty in front of her, and the words "Snowy skin and beautiful appearance are all different" came to her mind involuntarily.
"Oh, are you the Lin family who presented the salt-drying method to the Xiao family?" Concubine Yang cast her eyes condescendingly on Lin Wanwan and said casually, "You are quite courageous."
"It's my daughter." Lin Wanwan quickly lowered her head, looking at her nose and nose, and then her heart.
Now that she has been questioned, she still has the courage to look up at a palace concubine. But there is no need to be too arrogant, she has already been told, so she should just keep her head down and be quiet.
"Let's go." Concubine Yang put down the hand that lifted the veil and leaned back on the sofa.
After receiving the order, the four chamberlains raised their shoulders and walked away smoothly.
After the person walked away, Chen Dianzan breathed a sigh of relief and whispered in a slightly annoyed voice: "Lin Le'an, you must not look up when you meet a noble person in the palace. You have to be careful when you go to see the Queen in a while."
Lin Wanwan smiled slightly: "Okay, I remember."
The palace maid who came to deliver the message also glanced at Lin Wanwan and said she didn't say anything, but she had a strange look on her face.
Then she stepped forward and said a few words to the guards guarding the entrance of the palace, and then took Lin Wanwan into the palace.
There were already five or six maids inside who heard the commotion and came forward. The leader smiled and said: "This must be Lin Le'an. Come in quickly. My Majesty has already asked me twice."
"It's me." Lin Wanwan didn't expect that she would be so dignified and asked Queen Changsun to send a maid to greet her.
"Sister Yuan'er, why are you waiting here? Just now, when Lin Le'an was about to enter the door, he met Yang Feiyujia. He was questioned for a few words, which delayed him for a while."
The messenger maid hurriedly explained, and then she and other maids walked to the corridor of the main hall of the Li Zheng Palace, surrounded by Lin Wanwan.
"Lin Le'an, please." The leading maid, who was called "Yuan'er" by the messenger maid, stretched out her hand to lead Lin Wanwan into the palace.
There were voices coming from inside, and one of them, an elderly man, had a particularly familiar voice.
Turning around the many screens and gauze curtains, from time to time, palace maids silently offered blessings. Lin Wanwan finally followed Yuan'er and came to an Arhat bed similar to that in "Han Xizai's Night Banquet". Sitting on the bed was a noble lady in white.
There was a bright girl in yellow leaning next to the lady.
On the bench next to the bed, Lin Wanwan was sitting with her master, Sun Lao Shenxian, who had been with her for a month.
"Ancestor, you are here too!"
Lin Wanwan's excitement can be imagined when she suddenly saw her respected old acquaintance Sun Shenxian in the deep courtyard of the palace.
She only arrived in Chang'an yesterday afternoon and has been preparing for the interview. She has not yet visited Mr. Sun who is also in Chang'an.
At this time, I forgot about etiquette for a moment, and directly greeted Old God Sun first.
"You are still so frivolous and impetuous. Why don't you apologize to the Empress?" Mr. Sun glared at the careless girl in front of him and criticized. In fact, he was confessing to Empress Changsun that he and Lin Wanwan were in disguise.
The closeness has the meaning of protecting.
Lin Wanwan then hurriedly bowed seriously and said: "Your Majesty Lin Wanwan, please see the Queen!"
"Get up quickly, you are a strange person, why do you need to perform such a big ceremony." Empress Changsun said with a smile, her voice was extremely gentle, and she really had the demeanor of a mother who cares about the world.
Not to mention Lin Wanwan's meritorious service to the country, just because she is recognized as a disciple by Mr. Sun, she can still make the Changsun family look up to her.
Mr. Sun's status in the Tang Dynasty was still very transcendent. Li Shimin called him "the master of a hundred generations."
His medical ethics are as high as his medical skills, so he will be famous throughout the ages.
There were many emperors in the Tang Dynasty, but there was only one King of Medicine, Sun Lao. He was a greater man than a king.
"Thank you, empress." Lin Wanwan stood up.
Changsun's lower abdomen was slightly bulging, she looked pregnant, and her face also looked pregnant.
She didn't sit on the floor, so Lin Wanwan naturally didn't have to suffer as much as she did when she saw Li Shimin sitting on her knees just now. Her legs were really numb from her knees.
