Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 342 A Day in Yuanchun

"It's the right time to come, take it to the west room to salute the old lady. The wives and grandma are all there, and they will arrange introductions when they meet." Uncle Rong slowly relaxed his brows, although he didn't want to meddle in the You family's affairs, But it makes sense to come here today.Naturally, there was no other excuse, but the You family sisters wanted to show their faces in front of the old lady, so it was just delusional to enter the West Mansion.

One day it won't be Wang Xifeng standing in front of the old lady.

Sister Feng has made it clear that she is not angry with the You family, and her wife, You Shi, may not be willing to allow the sisters of the You family to enter Xifu as the second room of the second master Lian.

Uncle Xiaorong looked at Erye Lian who was sitting and receiving the gift from his servant, and made up his mind to ask him about his thoughts after the meeting was over.There is no longer a wife in charge of Lian Erye's room now, and the sister and son of which family has gone, although she is the second room in name, she is actually the mistress of Lian Erye's courtyard.

Although it is limited to Lian Erye's courtyard, it is also very attractive to outsiders.

Uncle Rong was thinking.

At that time, the grandparents of the Rongguo Mansion received the servant gift one by one.

In the palace, Yuan Chun quietly stood behind the empress dowager like a stone sculpture.A stone sculpture with a shallow smile on its face all the time, without any other expressions.

Not moving, not even blinking.

Not to mention the full of jewels on the head, even if you bow your body to salute, move lightly with small steps, the gemstone pendant on the ear, and the golden hairpin on the top of the head will not shake or shake.

Earrings and step shaking are originally used to regulate behavior. In the court where etiquette is the most important, it is impolite for a concubine to shake the earrings.

So Yuan Chun wears a heavy headdress, and every movement is contemptuous and cautious.Perhaps, she has long been used to this, but today she felt a little sad in her heart.

But this kind of sadness should never be shown in front of anyone.Not to mention that there are not only queens, empress dowagers, emperors and others in the room, any thoughts must be emptied.

She is pretty good, at least she is a concubine.Then the following concubines, nobles, promises, and how many are always there, they come in one by one to salute and pay their respects.Yuanchun entered early, and now the emperor's concubines came in one by one, and the remaining nobles, promises, and Changzai stayed in the snow with their maids.

Only after the concubine finished the ceremony, the nobleman, the promise, and the regulars could come in from the outside one by one and leave the icy and snowy courtyard.

Yuan Chun looked at the saluting people below, some of them had only entered the palace in the past two years, and felt a little sad for them.

Sure enough, two people were trained by the queen.It's not considered training, it can only be regarded as pointing out shortcomings in front of the emperor and empress dowager.It's just that Yuan Chun knew that the rest of life for these two concubines in their teens who had been named by the empress would be even more difficult.

After the concubines were scolded, they were invited out again by the nanny.During the interval, the Empress Dowager turned sideways and spoke to Yuan Chun.

"Have you ever led them to salute the old concubine?"

Yuan Chun knelt down and replied, "I've been there."

"You've always been considerate, so you shouldn't have asked. It's just that you've been feeling unwell for the past two days, and I'm afraid you might be negligent for a while. If you've been there, let it go. You have to recover as soon as possible so that you can serve the emperor."

Yuanchun bowed again.All behaviors and behaviors are courteous, and no one can find the slightest fault.It's just that a noble concubine sitting next to her looked at it with great interest and chuckled lightly.

The empress dowager and empress looked at the noble concubine at the same time, but this noble concubine was not afraid at all, she behaved differently from everyone in the room.

She doesn't look like a concubine who obeys the rules in the palace.

It's just that the empress dowager and empress looked sideways at the emperor's face, and didn't scold the imperial concubine on the spot.

Yuan Chun also looked at it from the corner of his eye, envious in his heart.After all, she is the biological sister of King Mobei, and the hundreds of thousands of troops in the hands of King Mobei are the confidence of this noble concubine.

The empress dowager asked Yuan Chun to get up with a stiff face, and she didn't say anything else to Yuan Chun, and only asked the nanny to lead in one by one the ones standing outside in the snow to 'talk'.

Forbidden Palace, Forbidden Palace, be careful everywhere.

Just like this palace, although it is resplendent and magnificent, it is narrow and crowded.It always feels depressing, as long as you stay here, you can't take a big breath, as if your mouth and nose are covered with a thick piece of silk.

To put it nicely, it is the harem, and each of these halls is not as spacious and comfortable as any house in the Grand View Garden.Thinking of this, Yuan Chun felt sad again.

After all the emperor's concubines saluted at the empress dowager's side, the empress had to say a few more words before getting up.

Then it was to go to the queen's bedroom, and the concubine, concubine, concubine, etc. saluted the queen in turn.

The snow above the palace fell piece by piece.

Courtesy is very important in the palace, and Yuan Chun doesn't know how many rituals he has to perform every day.

At five o'clock every day, the palace maid would wake her up before dawn.Even though he was groggy, he still got up immediately, rinsed his mouth with the cold tea of ​​the previous night, put on a few snacks, and asked the maid to help him to make up.

If it was a little late, the nuns in the palace would have to rush, and even go to the empress to report.In the dark, they had to rush to the queen's bedroom, and then led by the queen to the empress dowager's side to kneel down, say hello, and salute.

The empress dowager greeted Ann, and then went back to the empress to greet Ann.After so many twists and turns, after all the rituals were done and the conversations were made, it was almost noon.

After barely eating the cold meal in his own room, his head was still dizzy.In the afternoon, I took a nap on the couch covered with soft mattresses, and didn't wake up until the hand warmer in my hand was cold.

I went to the east again to see the old concubine and waited on her for a while.After a while, I went back to the Queen Mother to kneel down and salute.

Today is different from the past, there is a big banquet in the palace today.In the past, at this time, after paying respects to the empress, I could go back to my residence to eat and bathe, and wait for the flop.

Today, after the ceremony, I have to attend a big banquet.Under the plaque of "Upright and Bright" in Qianqing Palace, the nobles, promises, and Chang Zai who had just saluted went over early and waited in accordance with the rules.

Then came concubines, concubines, and then noble concubines, empresses and others.

When Yuanchun and the concubines arrived, the palace was full of people, each of them standing there as straight as a log, motionless.

She knew that she was about to become such a log, and only when the queen arrived and the eunuch in the palace invited her, could she walk to her own seat and continue to stand and wait.

Yuan Chun watched those concubines and dignitaries bowing to him, and listened to their auspicious words of New Year greetings.

They are all good-looking people, they all have nice voices, and they are all kind words.

But she didn't feel half auspicious.

After a while, the concubine came.Yuanchun immediately put on a smile, and then together with the concubines, nobles, promises, and regulars, they salute the concubine's New Year greetings.

When the queen arrives, the noble concubine will take the lead and salute in turn.

When the emperor arrives, the empress will continue to salute in turn.

When the auspicious time comes, let’s have fun and take a seat.

However, Yuan Chun knew that there were still several kneeling downs and more than a dozen rituals waiting to be performed during the banquet.

When the emperor toasted, the concubines had to leave their seats and kneel down to pay respects;

After the emperor made a toast, the concubines had to pay respects in turn according to their rank, and then saluted;
……

By the time the banquet ended, Yuan Chun was exhausted physically and mentally.When she was about to return to the palace, someone called her.

"Tomorrow is your birthday, and everyone in your family will come over, so it's not good for me to quarrel with you. Although I hate you sometimes, you are the only one who can talk to me in this palace. Thinking Today is also your birthday, so it's suitable to give as a gift."

The one who stopped Yuanchun was the noble concubine from Mobei. As she spoke, she took out a hairpin with silver inlaid with coral and turquoise tassels that blended the style of Dayan and Mobei.

　I recommend a book "The First Assistant of the Red Chamber" by a friend. It's a good book, but the new book doesn't have many words
