Only a few days after the Cheng family sisters arrived, Shen Miaohua talked and laughed with them, as if they were friends who have known each other for many years.
Xie Yunqing was not surprised at this point. Shen Miaohua was originally good at getting people around and was able to speak well. The Cheng family sisters also like to be praised by others. In the final analysis, they are all a way out.
Xie Yunqing seldom went to see the Cheng family sisters these few days, and soon it was the Lantern Festival Palace Banquet. She was the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion, and she wanted to follow her parents into the palace. In the past few days, Gu Yunshuang invited two mothers from the palace to teach Xie Yun the rules.
Xie Yunqing has to enter the palace several times a year. In his previous life, he was married to the royal family. He has been in the world for three years. He has long been familiar with the rules of the palace, but in order to avoid Gu Yunshuang's doubts, he is more diligent in learning. Can't help but nod, praise her as a savvy.
The Lantern Festival is just a flash of time, and the palace is full of lights and colorful fireworks exploding, reflecting the night sky as bright as day. The sound of firecrackers was endless, and the lively scene drove away the coolness of the early spring evening.
Driving into the palace in a luxurious carriage, sitting in the carriage are the most powerful and prestigious relatives and nobles of the royal family in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Cheng Yao watched the fireworks in the sky, wringing her fingers, and she didn't know what the imperial palace was like? It's a pity that I'm still wearing filial piety. If it's not in the filial piety period, you can grind Xie Yunqing and let her take herself into the palace to have a look.
When I came to Xie's house this time, I don't know what happened to my cousin. She changed her temper. She used to be tit-for-tat with herself. Xie Yunqing, who was unhappy every time she met, became gentle and gentle, and was very polite to them.
This change made Cheng Yao somewhat unaccustomed.
The carriage drove past the bluestone brick engraved with lotus patterns, stopped at the gate of the palace, and gave the badge to the guards for inspection before being released.
Lantern Festival Palace Banquet, people come and go,
It is easy to be taken advantage of by others. If there are people who plot wrongdoing, the emperor will be frightened. The first to be investigated is these guards.
The palace was as magnificent as I remembered. Because I was afraid of the water, there were no lanterns in the palace. There were lotus lanterns floating in the pool, and the shadow of candlelight reflected on the water, but it looked extraordinarily charming.
The slender palace ladies walked by in shattered steps, and the well-dressed ladies were led by the palace ladies to greet the queen mother, empress and imperial concubines.
Xie Yunqing also tended to follow Gu Yunshuang's steps, lowering his sense of existence with his head buried.
When we arrived at Changqiu Palace, first the royal family members went in, and the family members waited outside.
The Great Zhou has continued to this day, and the emperor himself is quite a lot.
When Xie Yunqing married into the royal family, he dealt with these royal family members. Everyone's face was very familiar.
For example, the first person who was brought in was the old princess of the Prince Sheng's mansion. In other words, it was from the generation of the emperor's grandmother. Today the queen mother still honors the old princess as her aunt.
The crowd waited for about half an hour outside the hall before the queen's word came from inside, telling them to enter.
Headed by Mrs. Gu Yunshuang, Mrs. Wei Guogong and Mrs. Yang, the wife of Wei Guogong, the family members held their breath, straightened their backs, and walked in methodically.
My feet are covered with soft colorful silk felt, and when I walk over, the soles of my feet are soft, like walking on top of clouds.
Xie Yunqing folded her hands on her lower abdomen, her eyes were calm, without any panic or tension, her steps were calm and calm, and her robes were not moving. Xie Yunqing has walked this road countless times.
Gu Yunshuang was originally afraid that she would be nervous, but after seeing her behavior, the big stone in her heart was let go.
Xie Yunqing followed Gu Yunshuang and listened to the shrill voice of the eunuch on one side: "Kneel—"
Everyone knelt down, Qi
After the Feng case, the most noble women in the entire Da Zhou greeted peace.
"Get up all, give your seat." This is a soft but majestic female voice, the voice of Empress Zhao.
"Thank you Empress Empress." After everyone thanked them, they took their seats in order.
Xie Yunqing sat next to Gu Yunshuang, looking up at the queen mother and concubines behind Feng's case.
Sitting behind the phoenix case in the middle of the main hall, the queen wore a scarlet phoenix robe and three dragons and two phoenix crowns on her head.
On her left is the current queen mother, who is the birth mother of the emperor. She wears a pine green satin dress with eight colored phoenixes embroidered on it. Most of the queen mother's hair was gray and she was old and kind, but Xie Yunqing knew that this queen mother was definitely not as gentle as she seemed on the surface. In terms of wisdom, she could be said to be the smartest person in the entire palace.
Beginning on the right hand side of the queen, the headed concubine dressed in violet palace attire, with ten fingers painted with Dankou, is the radiant concubine Gao Guifei, the biological mother of the second prince, the emperor's most beloved concubine. Concubine Gao Gui is almost forty years old, but she still firmly occupies the favor of the emperor. The emperor always goes to her palace two or three days a month.
Next to Concubine Gao, there was Concubine Xiang Xian who gave birth to the eldest princess and six princes. Concubine Xiang Xian was also an expert. She had fought against Concubine Gao for more than 20 years and had never lost.
Next was Li Defei, who was old and frail but had a high level of qualifications. Xie Yunqing only remembered that after Li Defei, who was in the past life, was sent to a monk with the imperial decree of the emperor, she prayed for the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Then, Xie Yunqing's gaze stayed on Chen Liangbi.
Chen Liangbi was dressed in an autumn-scented palace dress, and she was the least eye-catching among the jeweled concubines. She was always calm and indifferent.
Although she was the foster mother of the fourth prince Xiao Yu, no concubine in the harem had ever put her in her eyes.
