Chapter 125 Li
Shaohua asked Ling for help sadly, but the answer she got was naturally: No!
Although Ling is honored and proud that her two daughters can enter the palace to be the emperor's eldest daughter, the shortcoming is that even Jinhua has a share. Thinking of the opportunity to send her two daughters to the palace dressed beautifully to show off, and now she has to take Jinhua with her, Ling couldn't help muttering.
Dissatisfied, whether it is the face of the Li family and the limelight of the second room, Ling still carefully dressed up the three girls. Although Shaohua was not happy, as a last resort, she quickly came up with something to make her happy.
For example, the eldest daughter is the biological sister of the second prince. Yan Kaizhi has such a good relationship with Hongyi, and Lanzhi is also one of the best-in-laws, so it is basically 100% certain that she sees Yan Kaizhi.
While Ling was busy greeting the tailors to make new clothes for them, the palace sent the old maids of the steward to teach them early. The emperor's sons were thin, and most of the princes and princesses born in the early years died. Hongwen Hongyi alone died before four princesses and one unborn prince. Later, Hongwen Hongyi was born one after another, and it took two years for a third prince to be born. Unfortunately, at the age of three, the long ceiling died. It was not until the birth of the eldest daughter Rouwan and the fourth prince Hongyu that the harem gradually flourished.
Therefore, Princess Rouwan is the pearl of the emperor's eye and the most precious treasure in her arms. Compared with the previous emperor's favor with Princess Anjing, it can only be said that she is more than her.
Because of this, all the officials on her ceremony were all handled by the daughters of ministers of more than three grades in the court, and Zhengbin invited the old lady of the vassal state to go out. The admirers who assisted Zhengbin were Lanzhi and another delicate and charming little woman. Shaohua and others are only responsible for the tray, but because they are in the harem and have imperial concubines present at that time, it is not easy to complete any simple work.
Aunt Shao, the stew maid, is responsible for teaching them what to say, what to do, where to concentrate, and what to say to whom. Hearing their teacher's calm mother, she immediately became respectful. Shaohua was a little surprised by her majesty. As a result, Aunt Shao from the palace said that she used to serve with Mami Rong. Since she was the wife taught by Mami Rong, there must be no problem. However, among the women who entered the palace, only the three of the Li family and the wife of another minister's family had never been to the palace, so the palace sent her to be cautious.
Unexpectedly, they were specially taken care of because of Mage Rong. They did not know how useful Mage Rong's strict teaching was until they entered the palace.
Especially when they entered the palace to meet the imperial concubine in advance, their thoughtful manners, elegant posture and calm conversation surprised the nobles who greeted them. After all, in comparison, they are indeed new to the first time, but they can do this calmly and without being humble. I have to admire Li Ge Lao's good teaching. The other woman is the wife of General Pingnan's family. She followed Shaohua and others. Although she can't calm down, at least there are no mistakes.
At first, Lanzhi was worried that Shaohua could not do well, but when they met the palace concubines, she was so comfortable that the big stone in her heart was put down.
I don't know, in fact, Shaohua has been so nervous that he is sweating, and even the afterglow doesn't dare to sweep at Wanhua, completely as if he is a vase. Unexpectedly, Wanhua and Jinhua are the same. They can't remember their mother's teachings at all. They just don't want to make mistakes and don't want to be outstanding. Especially when I saw the daughters of other ministers, who were either outstanding in beauty, elegant talk, or free from vulgarity, no one would care about them in the ceremony. On that day, the only eyes were Rouwan.
The imperial concubine is a woman in her early 40s. She is gorgeously dressed, her face is kind and majestic, and her whole body exudes the temperament of mother's world. She looked softly and kindly at the girl kneeling in front of her and looked at the man beside her. Her eyes were full of respect and admiration, just like a Huaichun girl saw her lover. The man felt her sight and turned his head and smiled at her.
Shaohua quietly raised his eyelids and looked at him, slightly surprised. The emperor is not as fierce and fierce as in her mind. Instead, she is like a beautiful and elegant scholar. His body is slightly thin and his face is slightly old, but a pair of sharp eagle eyes, like torch-like eyes, make people dare not look directly. Fearing to be found, Shaohua hurriedly withdrew his sight, dressed in the awkward lady's palace costume, smiled, his eyes drooped slightly, and stood quietly beside him with a plate.
The emperor turned his head and searched the whole audience. He was a little curious about where the strong eyes came from.
After the ceremony was completed, the emperor hurriedly left after talking to Rouwan because he had to deal with the government affairs. The imperial concubine led a large group of ladies and nobles to the imperial garden. Now it is the time when the lotus flowers are in full bloom. It is rare that the sky is sunny and refreshing. The banquet is set in the lotus pavilion in the Furong Pavilion. It is said that it is a pavilion, where there can be dozens of tables, surrounded by water on three sides. Looking around, lotus leaves and fields.
Before the banquet began, a group of palace concubines accompanied the imperial concubines to chat in the pavilion, and the young girls gathered together in groups of familiar sisters. It's rare to go to the palace. The girls gathered happily to enjoy the flowers and chat, and secretly observed other women.
"Is that it over?" Shaohua, who was free, finally dared to breathe a sigh of relief. Originally, I wanted to talk to Lanzhi, but when I found that she and Princess Rouwan were tired of being together like sisters, Shaohua immediately gave up the idea. However, she was a little disappointed that she couldn't find Yan Kaizhi's figure. There were the narrow backs of young girls everywhere, and she couldn't help but be a little happy.
"I don't know, but I was almost scared to weak just now. That's the Holy King!" Wanhua's hands were so nervous that his hands were cold, but his little face looked very excited, which made Shaohua's hand hurt.
"I know I know, you let go first." Shaohua broke away from Wanhua's claws. Compared with the awe and fear just now, Shaohua felt that it was also difficult to deal with Wanhua's excitement. Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of you, it is the endless blue lotus leaves, and the lotus flowers are different red. Inadvertently turned his head and didn't expect that Shaohua reacted to Song Yun's sharp eyes that it was natural for Song Yun to come. Looking at her talking to the people next to her, she couldn't help girling this way. Shaohua was afraid that she would come over and cause trouble. He pushed Wanhua and said, "Third sister, let's go there and have a look."
As soon as they walked two steps, a little maid came to block the way. "Two wives, please don't walk around. The imperial concubine will invite her to ask questions later." Shaohua blinked his eyes and looked back at Guanlian Pavilion. Sure enough, he saw two women standing among the crowd, one of whom seemed to be the wife of General Pingnan's family.
Like someone said something funny, a group of nobles covered their mouths and smiled and whispered to each other. The other woman was fine and dealt with it calmly, while the wife of General Pingnan's Mansion did not accompany Shaohua. She looked dull and flustered and kept bowing her head.
Looking at the laughter in the pavilion, Shaohua was faintly uneasy. Just now, she clearly saw the third princess and the imperial concubine sitting together. The two snuggled up and talking, and their uncle and sister-in-law seemed very close.
"Huh? Where's Qi Niang?" Shaohua looked around and found that she couldn't find Jinhua's figure. She was shocked, "Third sister, Qi Niang is gone." This is no better than in Zhongyi Houfu. If they get lost and bump into nobles in the imperial garden, they will be accompanied by a large family.
When Wanhua heard Shaohua's exclamation, he immediately became excited and searched around, "Don't say, maybe she just looked at the flowers somewhere and got lost. Don't disturb the nobles in the pavilion." Shaohua also knew it, but she looked around. There were three or five groups of Furong Pavilion, and there were girls dressed as female officials everywhere. It was really difficult to recognize Jinhua at once.
"Third sister, how about we split up and walk around the outside? Whether we find anyone or not, we will wait under the tree opposite." Shaohua pointed to the magnolia with a white flower not far away. Wanhua nodded, and then the two walked away separately.
Shaohua finally knew why she was vaguely uneasy. If she had known, she would have stared at Jinhua and wouldn't let her leave her sight.
Among the women who entered the palace today, only Jinhua was a concubine, but her performance was no worse than others, so she was quite eye-catching along the way. Jinhua did not feel inferior or timid, but raised his chin arrogantly and was looked at. She also secretly made fun of Wanhua that Jinhua looked like a proud peacock. Wanhua said, "She looks like a rooster at most." Re-examined her appearance and thought that Jinhua was the most afraid of the big cock. Shaohua laughed and thought that she was too pompous.
Because Jinhua has been following them step by step, Shaohua didn't think much about it. Suddenly, he turned around and found that Jinhua didn't know when he had lost his trace.
She walked in a mess. While walking quickly, she searched for Jinhua's figure and was alsoware of bumping into people. Suddenly, a shy voice shocked Shaohua's nerves.
"Have you heard? The eldest prince will also come later!"
"What about the second prince?"
"You are so stupid. Princess Rouwan is the sister of the second prince. How can he not come?"
"In this case, General Yan will also come?"
"It turns out that you still remember him. It's really not shy, but when I heard that there is someone in his heart, I'm afraid that others can't see him."
Shaohua and another girl were silent at the same time. After a while, they only heard the other party say quietly, "She is married. Is she still reading it?" The voice seemed very sad and sad, and it sounded like he was deeply in love with Yan Kaizhi.
"Well, don't think too much about it. She married Yan Kaizhi and she didn't let it go. If she didn't marry, it wouldn't be your turn. Let's go, the imperial concubine summoned us.
Listening to the fading pace, Shaohua's mind is a little confused: Yan Kaizhi has someone he likes, and the other party is still a married woman. Because of this, he won't accept anyone, and won't he talk to anyone?
Shaohua took a deep breath, rubbed his face, and forced himself to smile. Even if Yan Kaizhi has a confidant, she just said that they have been married. There is no need for her to worry too much about this kind of thing.
She was not allowed to think about it. A familiar figure flashed through the corners of her eyes. Shaohua turned his head and seemed to see the other party trot down the Huamu Road not far away.
There is the way out of Furong Pavilion!
Shaohua's heart sank and immediately caught up with him.
