184 Entering the Palace
This rain lasted for more than half a month, and the weather only started to clear up the day before the first prince in the palace. This made the emperor feel very happy, and it was exaggerating that the prince was a lucky star. This rain can be said to have reduced the harvest of the Daxia Dynasty by half. If it continues, there will be no harvest. The most anxious thing among them is naturally the farmers from all over the country. After working hard for a year, the harvest is about to be completed. A heavy rain ruins everyone's efforts.
Shangguan Rui used the birth of the eldest prince to reduce taxes from various places by half, which made the title of the eldest prince into the eyes of the people everywhere.
Shangguan Rui only got such a son after he was over forty years old, so the full moon banquet was naturally going to be a big deal. In addition, the weather was beautiful, and it was sunny the day before the full moon banquet, which made the ministers in the court call it a blessing for the eldest prince.
On this day, Qingluan was dug up by Xia Zhi early. The eldest prince's full moon banquet, and the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion also received a post from the palace. Qingluan was going to attend in full dress.
The summer sorrow changed into a crabapple-red skirt for Qingluan, with a jade-colored belt in the middle. Many light purple pearls smaller than fingernails fell on the corners of the skirt, which were luxurious and generous.
The old lady and Liu Qianqian were wearing their first-class imperial edicts. In this way, even if they knew that they were going to suffer when they entered the palace, Liu Qianqian had to go.
After the grandparents and grandsons got on the carriage, the old lady took Liu Qianqian's hand and told: "After a while, you will follow me. When you enter the palace, you must kneel down and kowtow. Old woman, I am a handful of old bones. Even if I kneel slowly, no one will blame me. Come slowly by my side. Don't worry, first of all, pay attention to the children in your belly."
Liu Qianqian nodded and said, "Grandma, don't worry, I have been recuperating well during this period. The day before yesterday, the imperial physician took his pulse and said that the fetus was stable."
"After all, it's not three months, so it's always right to be careful." The old lady said, then looked at Qingluan and carefully looked at Qingluan's clothes. Anyone who had an imperial decree on her body would naturally wear imperial decree clothes. Just like Qingluan, a girl who was not married, could dress up according to her heart. However, this dressing is also particular and should not be too outstanding. After all, the destiny girl wants to meet the empress in the harem. If she dressed more outstanding than the empress in the head in the palace, she would definitely hit others in the eyes, but she should not be too low-key. After all, Qingluan represents the decentness of the Marquis of Weiyuan.
The green phoenix is a double bun. She hasn't even reached the hairpin yet, so this hairstyle is OK. The bun is surrounded by red coral, and a water drop sapphire fell on her forehead. The ground is red lips and white teeth, and her eyebrows and eyes are beautiful.
"Luan'er, don't be nervous when you enter the palace later, just be generous and generous." The old lady nodded with satisfaction and reminded her again.
Qingluan responded. This was not the first time she entered the palace. As the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, the palace banquets in the palace were almost always available. However, the difference this time was that Shangguan Rui, who is the head of the palace, now includes Empress Jiang, Concubine Hui of the Qin family, and Wei Xiner in the harem. This situation is completely different from the previous life.
Qin Qin gave birth to the eldest prince, and now he can be regarded as the most proud person in the harem. Although the old lady is also a member of the Qin family, when Wei Xiner entered the palace last time, Qian came to the Wei family to question the old lady. The two sides could be said to be very unhappy. In addition, the old lady rejected the Qin family's marriage request earlier, so she formed a gang with the Qin family, hoping that there would be no trouble when entering the palace today.
Also, Empress Jiang is not easy to mess with. Qingluan also met Jiang Yuan in her previous life. In her memory, she was a luxurious and dignified woman. However, the Jiang family has three heroes and many talents. How could she be willing to let the prince born to Concubine Hui be powerful?
The situation in the harem is so complicated, and I don’t know how Sister Xiner’s life is like?
Although Qingluan's face was calm, her heart couldn't help but feel a little heavy. Amid her various thoughts, the carriage finally stopped at the palace gate. When it arrived at the palace gate, the carriages from each family could not enter. 13acv.
The old lady, Liu Qianqian and Qingluan all got out of the car and the eunuch who was leading the way brought them into the palace.
Qingluan looked up and saw the tall palace gate looked very majestic. The numerous palaces were like gorgeous cages, and how many beauties were withering inside.
At this moment, a luxurious carriage stopped beside Qingluan and the others. Qingluan glanced at the mark on the carriage from the Jiang family of Duke Lu's Mansion. After a moment, a girl in a pink dress came down from above.
"Auntie, I'll help you!" The girl's voice was extremely pleasant, like the gurgling flowing water, clean and clear.
Qingluan couldn't help but look over. Another wife in her forties got off the carriage. Qingluan narrowed her eyes slightly. This was the mother of the Empress. The wife of the Duke of Lu. The four children of Duke of Lu were all among the people. The Duke of Lu had no concubines and concubines in the backyard. It can be seen that this kind-hearted woman was very good at it.
The only daughter of Duke Lu is the empress in the palace, so this woman in pink is not the girl from Duke Lu's mansion.
The girl seemed to feel Qingluan's gaze, turned her head and smiled at Qingluan. Her smile was beautiful and charming. Qingluan couldn't help but praise her. This girl had a good appearance, but did the wife of the Duke of Lu come to the palace with a girl who was not from her mansion and wanted to support this girl, or did she want to do something with this girl?
The carriages of the two families were very close to the ground. Because the Duke of Lu came later, he led the girl forward to say hello to the old lady.
"Is this the legitimate girl from the Wei family? She looks so beautiful!" The wife of Duke Lu smiled and exclaimed.
When the third son of the Jiang family made things difficult for the Wei family at the North City Gate, Qingluan still remembered it clearly. Of course, Qingluan also knew that the third young master of the Jiang family came to the door to apologize with a gift. This is how the aristocratic family looked like. Even if they were enemies in front of each other in front of each other, they would be polite to meet before they broke up.
Qingluan showed a shy smile, but gave a blessing to Duke Lu's wife: "Qingluan has met his wife." The rain is at its peak.
The Duke of Lu happily pulled Qingluan's hand and said, "What a good boy who is polite! Yaoyao, why don't you come to see the old lady and the Marquis of Weiyuan."
Jiang Yao was two years older than Qingluan. If Qingluan was said to be more flowers in bud, then Jiang Yao was a blooming flower. Her figure was charming and exquisite, and her appearance was even more gorgeous. Qingluan looked young beside her.
The old lady narrowed her eyes slightly. There were not many girls in the Jiang family. Jiang Yao was the legitimate daughter of the third wife of the Jiang family. The third master of the Jiang family was the legitimate younger brother of Duke Lu. Now he was out of Yangzhou. Because the Jiang family produced a queen, the girl of the Jiang family also rose with the water. When this flower of the Jiang family was in full bloom, I just didn't know which aristocratic family the wife of Duke Lu fell in love with.
After a while of greeting, an eunuch led his group into the palace.
Qingluan followed the old lady and Liu Qianqian, looking at her nose and heart along the way. The group first went to Cining Palace.
The current empress dowager is Shangguan Rui's biological mother. When she first entered the palace, she was just a beauty and was not conspicuous in this harem. However, such an inconspicuous woman has now become the most noble woman in the world. Qingluan did not dare to underestimate this Holy Mother Empress Dowager in her heart.
Today is the full moon banquet for the eldest prince. The lights are decorated inside and outside the Cining Palace. Even the palace servants who serve the palace are full of joy and look lively.
"The Empress Dowager invites a few in."
Qingluan and his group waited outside the palace for a while, then a nanny wearing blue-colored armor and the others went in.
Many people had already come to the main hall of Cining Palace. Qingluan stood beside her obediently after she looked at the old lady and others.
The Queen Mother of the Holy Mother is already in her sixties. She declared that the yellow birds robe was elegant and luxurious. Although her hair was completely white, her face did not look old-fashioned. Her slightly plump face made her look very kind.
On the right hand of the Queen Mother, her eldest daughter, Princess Duanmin. Today, the eldest princess is wearing a bright red robe, luxurious and generous. When Qingluan and others entered, the mother and daughter were talking, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Qingluan, the woman on the left hand of the Holy Mother, didn't recognize it. The man looked only in his thirties. Her lake-colored summer shirt made her look very thin. Her beautiful eyes seemed to be in tears, and her bright light made people feel pity when they saw it. There was a little cinnabar mole on her forehead, which added a bit of charm to her delicateness. Qingluan secretly tickled in her heart. I don't know which lady this beauty is from the house. In her impression, Bai Shuangshuang is this beautiful white lotus, but obviously the level of this is much higher than Bai Shuangshuang. At least Bai Shuangshuang will feel a little pretentious. This person's delicateness is natural, even Qingluan can't help but feel pity as a woman.
The Empress Dowager showed the wife of Duke Lu and the old lady, and asked Qingluan and Jiang Yao a few more questions. Qingluan answered in a normal manner, and it would be better to be low-key. Princess Duanmin's sharp eyes fell on Qingluan from time to time, making Qingluan's heart feel alert.
However, unlike Qingluan's low-keyness, Jiang Yao showed off her chance to ask questions. Even the empress dowager also liked the great beauty Jiang Yao very much.
Only the beauty of tears asked, "How old is Miss Jiang this year? Did she have already approved someone?"
The wife of Duke of Lu quickly said, "The birthday is in the first lunar month. She just turned fifteen this year. Because she had been in office with her third brother and her family, she only received a visit to the capital of Beijing a year ago. Now she has not been allowed to be accused of anyone. What is the best introduction for Concubine Xiao?"
