Since that day, Ji Yue rushed out of the Zhongling Palace for the second time, and he hadn't seen him for several days. Rumors abounded in the palace, and it was rumored that His Majesty had tasted it for a month, and the freshness had passed, and Young Master Wei had been disgusted and abandoned.
Changsheng and Changshou are happy that he no longer has to serve the King of Qin every day, but they are worried that the son will fall out of favor and will be settled by the King of Qin, and his life will not be guaranteed.
Only Wei Lian was very calm from beginning to end.
He knew that the man was thin-skinned, and that day he lost his head and almost wanted him. When he came back to his senses, he probably had no face, so he avoided him these days.
The King of Qin is still the King of Qin, and he has not made any progress at all.
Wei Lian thought so, but there was a slight smile on his lips.
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the King of Qin suddenly issued an imperial decree, and all those rumors in the palace that speculated that Wei Lian had fallen out of favor came to an abrupt end.
"At the time of Tianshun, he was ordered to serve the king and guard against him, be gentle in temperament, be humble and virtuous, and be respectful and restrained. He was then conferred the title of noble prince, the same noble concubine, holding Luan Yin, and giving him the power of acting in the six palaces. this."
Wei Lian listened quietly without any change in his expression, and finally said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
Gentle in nature, humble and virtuous, respectful and restrained.
None of these words fit him.
The King of Qin is also strange for speaking nonsense.
King Qin didn't dare to see him, so he simply took a luan seal to break the rumors about him falling out of favor.
Pretend to be dead.
After Li Fuquan read the imperial edict aloud, he handed the silk to Wei Lian with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, Your Majesty."
"There is a decree from Eunuch Lao." Wei Lian got up and took the cloth and put it away, "Your Majesty has previously ordered that the son should be called a son, but the father-in-law still follows the original."
Regardless of whether you are a servant or a noble, Wei Lian still prefers the title of Young Master.
At the end of the day, he doesn't like being attached to anyone.
Li Fuquan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "No."
As soon as Li Fuquan came out of the Zhongling Palace, the news of Wei Lian's canonization spread throughout the palace, making the rumors of these days self-defeating.
What's out of favor? This is a godsend!
The Qin state's harem also has a queen, four concubines and three wives, and countless concubines. Different from the titles of the four concubines of the Chu State, which were drawn up by themselves, the Qin State used the titles of honor, grace, virtuousness and virtue. Among them, the imperial concubine is respected, and the position is the same as the deputy queen.
Your honor is self-evident.
More importantly, His Majesty has even handed over the power to represent the Sixth Palace to him. Generally speaking, it is the queen who is in charge of the harem in charge of Fengyin, and the concubine who is in charge of Luanyin is in charge of the six palaces. However, there is no queen in the middle palace, and Wei Lian is in full control. In name, he is a noble monarch, and his power is comparable to that of a queen.
This honor is much heavier than the previous rewards.
Acting for Liu Gong is actually not an easy job. Under normal circumstances, not only do you have to get up before 90 o'clock every day, dress up to greet the concubines and concubines at dawn and dusk, but also take care of the affairs of the palace and memorize 3,000 palace rules. If anyone in the palace committed a crime, she had to deal with it, and she had to ask her to judge if the concubines were jealous. It would be even worse if people were killed. First of all, he had to admit a crime of lax governance, even if he had nothing to do with this matter at all.
In addition, which high-ranking concubine's birthday, ordering the wife to visit the palace, or holding a large banquet during the New Year's holiday, all have to be handled by one hand. There are countless processes up and down, and if there is a mistake in any link in the middle, you have to be the first to plead guilty.
Such a big and thankless trouble, but it is the fat poor that the concubines and concubines of the harem in the past flocked to. What is trouble? What they want is authority, and this is what can give people real peace of mind.
However, these problems are not a problem in this dynasty.
There was no one else in the Queen Qin's harem except Wei Lian, which was simply an idle job that gilded him.
… not quite.
Wei Lian looked at the bamboo slips that were long... dragging them all the way to the door, and asked calmly, "What is this?"
The female official of the ceremony replied, "The palace rules."
Wei frowned.
He held the bamboo slip in his slender hand, and seemed to inadvertently swipe across the ink marks on the bamboo slip, while slowly rolling it up and closing it: "What is the meaning of this, female official?"
"There are a total of 3,061 palace rules." The female official of the ceremony said sternly, "As a noble prince, you should be a model for the harem, and keep the palace rules in your heart."
Wei Lian looked down, and casually said "um".
The female official of the ceremony said solemnly: "I hope you will memorize the three thousand palace rules within one month, and conduct random inspections after one month after the appointment."
This has always been the rule.
Anyone who has a phoenix seal or a luan seal must keep the palace rules firmly in mind, and it will be appropriate to go up and down. The concubines in ancient times couldn't ask for the golden seal, how could they care about memorizing these things, even if they read at night with the lights on, they had to keep the rules in their hearts.
The three thousand palace rules are too long to be remembered for a while, and usually one month is given to memorize them. No one dares to say that they can't do it, even if they grit their teeth, they have to write down every word.
Wei Lian was still rolling up the bamboo slips, and his movements were unhurried: "But I'm the only one in the harem, who am I to set an example for?"
The example is for the concubines to see. King Qin didn't have a concubine. Did he show it to the air
The female official of the ceremony replied without hesitation: "Your Majesty will choose a family to fill the harem in the future, and the young master will preside over the selection."
Wei Lian's hand paused imperceptibly, and his tone was very light: "Oh, is it?"
There seemed to be a slight chill in those words, which sent a chill down the back of the female official Si Li.
She looked at it again, and the young man was still arranging the bamboo slips slowly, his appearance was extremely warm.
She breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Your Majesty has given your son the right to represent the six palaces, and the matter of drafting is naturally left to the son. The rules of those family members should also be taught by you. So you have to—" You have to memorize them first. Okay these palace rules.
Wei Lian had already collected the bamboo slips, rolled them into a thick tube, and placed them on the table at will.
There was a loud knock.
The female official was so excited that she didn't dare to say any more.
She has been in the palace for many years, and she has already become a personal elite, and the thoughts of ordinary people can't be hidden from her. But the young man in front of her made her unpredictable, and even faintly feared.
This feeling... She had only felt it on His Majesty.
She bowed her head, thinking that the young man was going to be angry. In all fairness, the reason why she dared to be so presumptuous was because Wei Lian did not dare to disobey the rules of the palace. But if you really care, if a noble wants to let down a female official, it will be an easy thing.
Who knows, Wei Lian said: "I wrote it down, you can stop smoking."
Lady Si Li: "?"
?
Write down what
The female official was stunned for a moment: "What did you say?"
Wei Lian glanced at the letter on the case, and said concisely: "The palace rules."
Female official secretary: "???"
When did he write it down? !
"You haven't read..."
"Didn't you just read it?" Wei Lian looked at her suspiciously.
The female official was even more puzzled: ""
You just clearly put away the bamboo slips!
With such a few breaths of effort, it was too hasty to even glance at it. How could it be possible to remember three thousand and sixty-one palace rules
He was even distracted talking to her!
Wei Lian saw the unbelief of the female official Si Li, and said casually: "One, you can't ignore the king's law."
"Second, don't commit any crimes."
"Three, don't stay home at night."
"Four, no..."
Wei Lian said twenty-six points, and the female official's expression gradually changed from disbelief, to shock, to doubt.
Doubt in life.
"Wait." The female official Sili stopped, "I dare to ask the son, why is the seventh hundred and thirty-one?"
The three thousand palace rules are lengthy.
Pulling back from the middle is the best way to check.
Wei Lian said without hesitation, "Those who deceive the superior and deceive the inferior can be punished by tongue-pulling."
The female official of ceremonies immediately asked, "The nine hundred and second rule of the palace."
"Those who do not return at night after the curfew will be given thirty sticks."
"Article 1,159."
"Those who speak indiscriminately regardless of their superiority or inferiority will be counted twenty."
"Article 2874."
"The palace maid is fornicating with someone, and you will die."
…
No matter what the female official asked, Wei Lian could answer them fluently without hesitation.
By the end, her face was a little woody.
Wei Lian asked politely, "Are you still asking?"
The female official of the ceremony: "..."
It is said that it is a palace rule, but in fact it is a complete criminal law. The first seven hundred are the constraints of the rules, and the latter are the penalties for violating these constraints.
Those who are bound are the people in the palace.
In Wei Lian's eyes, it was like a piece of paper.
After all, I really want to say that he has done all the things he committed below, and the King Qin took the lead in breaking the rules by not returning home at night.
Remember what these break the rules do.
It takes up space in the mind.
The female official Si Li was stunned and didn't seem to recover.
She looked like she was in a dream, and after a while, she asked cautiously, "Have you memorized this palace rule beforehand?"
It's too scary to be able to repeat it all at a glance.
Wei Lian looked at her gently: "I think it's a must-have skill for a person to have one eye, ten lines and ten lines."
The female official of the ceremony: "..."
Although Wei Lian's tone was gentle, she still felt that she must have been mocked.
She suppressed the shock in her heart, and wisely chose to skip the topic of palace regulations and move on to the next one: "Young Master, the envoys from the six countries are expected to arrive in Yongping on the 17th, and a state banquet will be held at that time to wash away the dust for the various countries. You are now You can start preparing…”
Wei Lian raised his eyes lightly: "Oh?"
There was pride in the female official's eyes: "Your Majesty has pacified the world, and all five countries are ministers. At the beginning of each year, envoys are sent to pay tribute, and this year, there are more Chu countries—" She suddenly became silent, and suddenly realized who was the person in front of her. The son of Chu State.
"Xiaguan made a mistake." The female official's voice dropped suddenly, with a look of panic on her face.
Wei's eyebrows didn't move.
As if it was not his home country that was defeated.
The state banquet is not as big as the family banquet, so there are not many things Wei Lian can intervene in, so he just dressed up and sat beside the King of Qin.
Seeing that Wei Lian didn't respond, the maid of honor gave up half of her heart, and then ordered the maid to present some gorgeous palace costumes, and said respectfully: "On the day of the state banquet, your son needs to be dressed up. His clothes are in line with the specifications and status of your noble lord. Excuse the officials to say more. In Chu State, the meaning of white clothes is pure white and flawless, but in Qin State, it is equivalent to wearing hemp and filial piety, which is regarded as ominous. When you enter Qin, you should do as the locals do, and don't wear such unruly clothes."
Wei Lian looked at the gorgeous clothes that the palace maids unfolded, red, orange, yellow, green, blue and blue, and only missing the purple color that King Qin didn't like.
The stitching of the palace dress is naturally fine, the silk and satin are precious, and the style is gorgeous, but it is also too exaggerated, like a colorful flower peacock.
Wei Lian refused in his heart.
He shook his head and sighed, "But Your Majesty likes me to wear white."
Naturally, Ji Yue never said that, but does the female official of the ceremony dare to ask
He wore white clothes for so many days and King Qin never said anything. It can be seen that King Qin himself didn't care about the details. Why should he obey.
Lady Si Li: "...then there's no need to change it."
In front of His Majesty's mind, the rules are floating clouds.
A few days later, until the tenth day of the first lunar month.
Wei Lian leaned on the couch, lost interest halfway through reading the book, and sighed with little interest.
"Master, why are you sighing again?" Changshou was helpless.
Wei Lian lay down in a comfortable position, covered the book on his face, and a lazy voice came from under the book: "It's boring."
It's so boring in this palace.
There was only such an interesting person, but he hadn't seen each other for many days.
… No, why did he think of that dog emperor
"You are often in a trance these days, as if you are looking forward to someone." Changshou said strangely, "What are you waiting for?"
Who are you looking forward to
Wei Lian was startled.
He never expected anyone, how could he expect others.
Certainly not expecting people.
Wei Lian sat up, put down the book, thought for a while, and finally found a reason to convince himself.
"I'm looking forward to the Lantern Festival," he said.
The author has something to say:
When people rote memorize for final exams—
Wei Lian: "I think it's a must-have skill for a person to be able to remember everything at once."
