Twin Brocade

Chapter 58
A wife is more expensive than a husband, Fang Shuyu is only a sixth-rank official, only when she reaches the fourth rank, the imperial court will reward his wife as the imperial wife.That's why, in Fang's family, only Mrs. Fang is honored as Mrs., and the others are called Mrs.

For Fang Jinshu, living in the palace for decades in her previous life has already become her second home, and she is most familiar with it.

But at this time, facing his mother's earnest teaching, Fang Jinshu obediently complied.

After eating, according to the time of entering the palace, there is no time for lunch break.Fortunately, she caught up on sleep in the morning, and she was in good spirits at this time.

Yunxia brought her the dress that had been scented with plum blossoms, and Yanxia put her hair back into a bun.

Tian's mother stood aside and secretly wiped her tears. The girl grew up and got a great opportunity.I only hope that this trip to the palace will go smoothly, and that it will be favored by the nobles.

……

Imperial City, Xuanzheng Palace.

The early court had already disbanded, and Emperor Qinglong was still dealing with the government affairs at hand in the imperial study, and courtiers came in and out from time to time.

He has only been enthroned for half a year. Compared with the turbulent situation half a year ago, the current court situation has calmed down.With the purge of countless heads, those who remained were those who were loyal to Emperor Qinglong, at least on the surface.

From then on, he devoted himself to the affairs of state, taking every opportunity to inquire in person, and rarely even set foot in the harem.

"Your Majesty, the empress sent someone to ask, do you want to have lunch together in Changle Palace?" Wu Guangqi, his confidant and chief eunuch, looked at nothing and stepped forward to ask.

Emperor Qinglong closed the memorial and rubbed the center of his brows.

In the morning of Maoshi, he got up before dawn every day, until now.The complicated government affairs made his head ache.

"No, you follow me out for a walk."

The current queen is heroic and beautiful.Not only is the six palaces well-organized, but also bow horse riding and shooting is not inferior to men.It's a pity that all he can give her is respect and the status of queen, and the place in his heart will always belong to his first wife.

Wu Guangqi waited for him to go out from the back door of the imperial study. There was a small garden planted with seasonal flowers.

In this season, the fragrance of bay laurel faintly spreads in the air, and all kinds of precious chrysanthemums stretch out in the green shade.Taking a few breaths of fresh air, Emperor Qinglong walked slowly.

At this time, Wu Guangqi told a few jokes wisely to amuse him, and mentioned the Fang family in his words.

Emperor Qinglong laughed and asked: "Speaking of which, is that girl from the Fang family entering the palace today?"

A mere courtier's daughter would not attract his attention.However, he couldn't see the daughter of a courtier who claimed to be rescued by the former empress dowager in a dream.

"Your Majesty, you remember correctly," Wu Guangqi said respectfully, "You ordered her to go to Changle Palace."

Only then did Emperor Qinglong suddenly realize why the empress asked him to have lunch in Changle Palace.When he saw the brochure presented by Zongzheng Temple yesterday, he thought that the little girl was too young, so don't scare her, so he casually ordered her to wait in Changle Palace.

It is the duty of the empress to meet the court wife.

The girl of the Fang family is in a special situation, but it is all right for her to come to see the queen.

Emperor Qinglong thought so at the time, but he had too many things to do, how could he remember such trivial things.If it wasn't for Wu Guangqi's reminder, he still wouldn't be able to remember this incident.

"In that case, let's drive to Changle Palace."

"Leave to Changle Palace!" Wu Guangqi passed on his order, and the little eunuch came down to deliver the message and brought the imperial chariot over.

The Changle Palace got the news that Empress Cao straightened her dress and ordered the palace people to get ready to welcome her.Except for the two days of the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, she has not seen Emperor Qinglong in normal life for more than a month.

Emperor Qinglong was busy with the previous court and rarely set foot in the harem.In order to catch a glimpse of Tianyan, the women in the palace tried all kinds of means, which made Empress Cao exhausted.

However, she is a queen who is not favored by the emperor. It is difficult to suppress those concubines who have been favored when they are in the mansion based on their status alone.

Because of Fang Jinshu, Emperor Qinglong came to her palace for dinner, which made her feel a little fond of Fang Jinshu, whom she had never met.

Empress Cao dressed up to welcome her, and she was still as slender and graceful as a young woman after giving birth to three children.Practicing martial arts for many years has made her waist strong and powerful, and her body is full of amazing elasticity and strength.

Her beauty is different from those of the concubines in the palace, full of a kind of exuberant vitality.

Emperor Qinglong sometimes thought, if he and Weiwei hadn't fallen in love with each other before, it would be hard not to be indifferent to such a unique and beautiful woman, right?

It's a pity that good luck tricks people.

The dishes prepared by Changle Palace were very suitable for Emperor Qinglong's appetite, since he came, he didn't intend to spoil the fun.After all, if he married her, he should give her the respect that the queen of the palace deserves.

After a relaxed and pleasant lunch, the emperor and empress sat down and talked again.

"Your majesty, you go to rest first. When the fourth girl of the Fang family arrives, the concubine will call you again."

……

With the handwritten letter from the palace, Fang Shuyu took Fang Jinshu all the way to the door of the harem for the pilgrimage of female relatives, and told her a few words, "I will wait here for my father. If there is anything you need, you can send someone out to say something." .”

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, even after yesterday afternoon's conversation, Fang Shuyu believed that she had experienced ten years in her dream, she still couldn't rest assured.

Knowing that the palace is not comparable to other places, even if Fang Jinshu really encounters something in it, he can't spread the word.But still can't help but want to exhort in vain.

Seeing her go with the palace people who came to greet her, Fang Shuyu returned to the sedan chair, opened the curtain of the sedan chair, and started reading under the bright sky.

After entering the tall vermilion palace wall, Fang Jinshu kept his eyes on the whole way, trying to keep up with the footsteps of the palace people in front.

The imperial palace is too big. Although this is already the gate of the harem, there is still a long way to go to Changle Palace.Especially for a girl who is only eight years old and has a delicate body, it seems extremely long.

Fortunately, Fang Shuyu had just stuffed a flimsy silver ticket into the hand of the palace servant, so her pace slowed down a bit.

Turning out of a long alley, the familiar palace appeared in front of Fang Jinshu.

The window lattices painted with gold lacquer, the golden glazed tiles, and the raised cornices are topped with the highest-standard roof beasts. The whole palace looks resplendent, gorgeous and solemn.

Here, she spent 12 years of loneliness in her previous life.Until she became the Empress Dowager and moved to the more lonely Yanqing Palace.

Taking a breath quietly, to suppress the surging emotions in his heart, Fang Jinshu lowered his eyes, paying attention to everything around him.

She remembered that the mural of Feitian was scratched with a waist knife by the naughty son of the King of Chu in the fourth year of Qinglong.Later, the craftsmen worked hard to repair it, but when you look closely, you can still see the traces of old and new.

However, at this time, when she looked carefully, the murals that had just been painted were as clean as new.
