"Today I went to see Concubine Xi." Just after Wen Ruyan said this, Han Yan's eyes were already bright and she said: "Concubine Xi, I haven't paid my respects to her for a long time, and I haven't called Concubine Xi either.
Please go with me, my son."
"Both of you are in the palace. If you want to go, won't you have a chance? Besides, I'm afraid of embarrassing you." Under Han Yan's puzzled eyes, she smiled and said, "This is a lifelong event for you, eh.
Mother asked Concubine Xi to help us look at the young talents with good conduct in the capital, so that we can ask your Majesty Ama to grant us a hand in marriage. After all, you are not young anymore, so it’s time to take notice."
No matter how lively Han Yanxing was, when she heard about her life-long event, she couldn't help but squirm a little, twisting the corner of her silver-edged clothes and whispering: "I don't want to get married, I want to stay with you all my life."
Huang Ama and E Niang."
"How can a daughter's family not get married? What's more, they just want you to get married, and they didn't say that you won't be allowed to enter the palace to see my mother." After saying that, she patted Han Yan's hand and said, "I have you, Concubine Xi, here.
, will definitely help you find a good husband."
"But my son will get married, and my mother will be very lonely." After the initial shyness, the first thing Hanyan thought of was Wen Ruyan.
Hanyan's sensibleness and filial piety moved Wen Ruyan. Having this daughter is really a blessing earned over many lifetimes. "There are still Concubine Xi and Concubine Jin accompanying E Niang. After a while, your aunt may do the same."
Once you enter the palace, you will never be lonely again. My greatest wish in this life is to see you marry a good husband and live in peace and happiness for the rest of your life."
"E Niang!" Han Yan choked and threw herself into Wen Ruyan's arms, sniffing the scent of E Niang. She knew that leaving was inevitable, but she was really... really reluctant to leave.
"Don't cry anymore." Wen Ruyan held back her tears and comforted the slightly twitching body in her arms. She changed the subject and said, "By the way, didn't you just say you were passing by the Imperial Garden? Please tell me, is it lively there?
?”
Han Yan also knew that doing this would make E Niang feel uncomfortable. She wiped away tears, forced a smile, and followed her words: "Well, it's very lively. More than a hundred beautiful ladies are there to accompany the queen.
When it comes to appreciating chrysanthemums, I only recognize my aunt, but there are a few of them who are related to my aunt.
I am as beautiful as my aunt, and she is really good-looking. By the way, when I was taking the pot of aster, I was spotted by a pretty girl." At this point, Hanyan, who was originally looking a little gloomy, suddenly burst into laughter, and was stunned.
Wen Ruyan looked very strange, "What's wrong with the beautiful girl?"
Han Yan curled her lips and said: "My son was dressed plainly today, but the beautiful girl recognized him as a palace servant. She thought that I wanted to steal the aster, so she yelled and summoned the queen and the queen."
Okay, mother-in-law, do you think it’s funny?”
Hearing what was going on, Wen Ruyan couldn't help but laugh, "This beautiful girl is really interesting. What's her name?"
"When I heard a beautiful girl calling her Nianyang, the others didn't know. Eniang, you don't know that when the Queen Mother told her the identity of Erchen, her whole face turned red and she wished she could find a place.
When she got under the slit, there were many pretty girls laughing at her, and then she stopped showing off the chrysanthemums and left in a hurry, saying she was drunk." The more Han Yan talked, the more funny she felt, and she couldn't stop giggling.
"You girl, you obviously did it on purpose." Wen Ruyan scraped Han Yan's straight nose and said lovingly: "She doesn't know that you can tell her yourself, so why let her call the queen over."
"Hey, she is blind, but I don't blame her." As she said this, her eyes were filled with a narrow-minded smile, which made Wen Ruyan shake her head. This daughter looked like her, and her temperament
But it's not that good, it's quirky, and I think about it, "Hey, when will you change this naughty character?"
Han Yan wrinkled her nose and said nothing, but Wen Ruyan knew that it would take decades for her to change her character. She could only blame the beautiful girl for being unlucky and bumping into Han Yan's hand.
, causing a lot of jokes.
In the afternoon, Wen Ruqing came back with an emerald hairpin in her hair. When she asked, she found out that it was a reward from the queen. In addition to her, Liu Xiunv and several others also received the same hairpin.
Facing Wen Ruqing's joy, Wen Ruyan couldn't say anything. He just told her not to trust anyone in the palace, especially before the draft, and not to get too close. Even the queen could only
Just maintain due respect.
On the second day, because the queen had recovered from her headache, all the concubines in the palace went to Kunning Palace to pay their respects, and Ling Ruo was also among them. Because it was the first time to pay their respects after a long time, all the concubines in the palace went to the palace to pay their respects.
Almost all the young masters are here, except for the Nian clan.
At the quarter hour of the hour, Nian's arrival was still not seen. Although the girls did not say anything explicitly, they secretly speculated that Nian's refusal to come to Kunning Palace to pay her respects as soon as she recovered was a bit too bold.
Do you consider yourself the number one person in the harem?
"Do you think Nian will come?" Guarjia quietly asked Ling Ruo by raising a cup to drink tea. On the other side, Nala was asking Concubine Yu, and Concubine Yu, who was always cautious, was facing her.
Nala was full of restraint when she was with him, and was far less comfortable than when she was getting along with Ling Ruo.
Ling Ruoyi made the same move, "If you don't come now, I guess you won't."
Nala glanced at them and took in their tiny movements. He smiled slightly and said, "What are Concubine Xi and Concubine Jin talking about quietly? Please tell me and my sisters to listen."
Ling Ruo quickly stood up with the Guarjia family and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen, please forgive me. I didn't mean to whisper. I just saw that the Imperial Concubine has not appeared yet. I wonder if there is something wrong?"
Nala's face darkened, and immediately he became as if nothing had happened. He stroked the embroidery with hidden silver thread on his sleeves and said, "The imperial concubine has always had a free nature. Maybe she forgot about it for a while. There is no need to wait for her."
Just as Nala finished speaking, Sun Mo came in and called Qian'er and said: "Queen Qi, the maid of Yikun Palace, Yingchun, is outside asking for an audience."
Nala stretched out her sleeves and said calmly: "Let her come in."
"Hey!" Not long after Sun Mo retreated, he saw Yingchun walking in. Among the many servants in Yikun Palace, besides Lu Yi, she was the first to be distinguished. Her dress was naturally more respectable and noble than ordinary palace maids.
Wearing a primrose yellow satin dress, a few emerald blue hairpins were tied into the bun, and behind it was a thin silk flower with stamens inlaid with rubies. This appearance was more outstanding than the jadeite beside the queen.
"My servant Yingchun pays my respects to the Queen. May she be blessed with good luck." Yingchun put her hands on her waist and paid homage with a big salute. Then she met the other concubines headed by Ling Ruo. There was nothing wrong with this ceremony.
"Why do you have to come here alone? Where is your master?" Nala asked kindly.
Yingchun bowed her head and said: "Returning to the Queen, the master had already prepared to go out to pay her respects. Unexpectedly, the palace attendants at the Meridian Gate came to report that Duke Fu had entered the palace. The master was afraid that Duke Fu would see him after he arrived.
There was no one around, so I had to stay in the palace. I sent a servant to express my guilt to the Queen. I hope that the Queen will forgive me and come back another day to pay her respects and apologize to the Queen."
