Because of the arrival of tiankui, the life of Anise has undergone a small change.But this little change is not enough to affect the wheel of world affairs, and it is almost difficult to be affected by major events in the court.By the time the shallow folded wheel marks finally spread to the Shangshu Mansion, the Mid-Autumn Festival had already passed.

On the Queen's birthday at the end of August, the Emperor took the opportunity to rehabilitate his elder brother and many ministers. King Bei was restored to the title and posthumous title of Prince Huicheng. Gong - this is the extra favor the emperor gave to his mentor.

Bai Shanqing has no son, no other grandson or grandson, the only one left behind is Hui Niang's granddaughter—I don't know where the news got out, before Qin Mengyuan had time to win his second daughter, the emperor had already taken the lead After hearing the name of Hui Niang, the queen also spread a decree, saying that she would call Hui Niang into the palace to have an audience.

Hui Niang also entered the palace in her previous life, but she was in a trance and trembling all day long. Looking back, she didn't even remember what the empress looked like.In this life, after receiving the decree, she naturally felt uneasy.The ones who were more shocked than her were of course the people in the Shangshu Mansion. The old lady even discussed with Wei Shi whether she should bring Aniang into the palace alone, lest she don't understand the rules and harm the family instead.

Unexpectedly, the little man who came to pass the decree specially emphasized: the empress only invited Anise to enter the palace alone, and the mother in the palace will come to guide her on that day, and the elders in the family can just rest assured and wait at home.

That's what I said, but how can the old lady and Wei Shi rest assured?But the two of them didn't dare to go against the queen's wishes and insist on following in. After discussing with Qin Mengyuan, Wei had no choice but to temporarily take over the responsibility of teaching and training Animian's palace rules. Su has been by Animian's side these days, and when she enters the palace that day, Zisu will also serve by Animian's side.

Of course, it is impossible to study palace rules without hard work. Hui Niang was young, and was specially summoned by the empress, and the elders of the family were not allowed to follow her. Wei was afraid that she would be rude and cause trouble in the palace, and instead hurt her own daughter, so she did not teach selfishly. , and even told Auntie about the many interpersonal relationships in the palace that might not be needed.

Of course, in Wei's mouth, Wei Guifei was naturally not so domineering, and even became a character who was repeatedly wronged in front of the queen.As for the queen, she is a majestic mistress of the inner palace. In front of her, Anise cannot make a single mistake.

Wei's education is strict, but Hui Niang still retains some old foundations from her previous life. In her previous life, she not only went to the palace to meet the queen when she first came to Beijing, but also occasionally served her mother-in-law to visit the imperial concubine after she got married. The etiquette is already very proficient, and Wei Shi can meet the standard with a few words, which makes Wei Shi look a little sideways.

When she really entered the palace and saw the queen, Hui Niang's heart was relieved.The empress was more amiable than she had imagined, and this time summoning Hui Niang, to some extent, also represented the importance the emperor attached to his mentor and descendants, so the empress did not sit in the warm pavilion, but sat on the throne in the main hall, please Several concubines accompanied her on both sides. After entering the palace, Hui Niang knelt down on the ground to salute the queen under the guidance of the female officer. The queen asked her to stand up and beckoned her to come to her side. You look quiet, and you know the rules—I heard that you lived in your hometown a few years ago? You couldn’t tell it at all when you just saluted, and you’re not far behind the girls who grew up in the capital.”

The queen is already 50 years old this year, perhaps because the death of her own son two years ago brought her a lot of blows, and there are a few wrinkles on her well-maintained face, and her eyes are also a little tired.

Hui Niang just glanced at it and didn't dare to look any more. She lowered her eyes and replied softly: "My daughter's grandmother and mother taught my daughter many rules in the palace."

"Your mother does often go to the palace." The smile on the Queen's lips faded, "But since San Lang got married, she hasn't come in to see her sister for a few months."

The concubine was involved, and the concubines in the palace did not dare to talk casually, only one concubine who looked very senior and had a high status smiled and said, "Sister Gui has devoted all her attention to teaching her daughter-in-law recently, and I am afraid there are not so many concubines." Call relatives in your spare time."

The topic immediately turned to the noble concubine. Speaking of the newly promoted third concubine, the concubines immediately had a topic, "Princess Huai will come into the palace every other day to pay her respects to the noble concubine and sister. Daughter-in-law, there is no difference between morning and evening. I heard that I have to serve the concubine and sister for dinner. Every time I come in, I always have to wait until after dinner before leaving the palace."

"Back then, my natal sister-in-law didn't work as hard as Princess Huai—the concubine's elder sister was a strict mother-in-law."

"A few of them are like empresses. They treat their daughters-in-law as if they were their own daughters. Don't blame me for being talkative. My ex-son, Princess Rongcheng, came to my Lanxiu Palace to talk to Huicheng. She is also envious of Mrs. Chu."

Hearing the concubines mentioning their daughters, the queen's eyes finally showed a little sincere smile, and her tone became much lighter when she spoke again, "Rongcheng is favored by the emperor, and he is still a child at this age. They don’t even look like older sisters, and they compete with their own sister-in-law, how can they not laugh at her?” After speaking, thinking of his daughter-in-law, and even his son who died young, he sighed again, “Chu Her life is bitter, and it is because our royal family has been sorry for her, but now at such a good age, she can only accompany the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng alone..."

This is another topic that is difficult to talk to, but the concubine with a long history has the most winking eyes. When she saw Hui Niang who was sitting quietly by the side, she immediately said: "Madam, this concubine suddenly remembered that Rong Cheng Isn’t the princess’s companion sick? The child’s life is miserable, and he hasn’t improved for more than half a year, but the princess is precious, and it’s not decent to have no companion by her side. The empress has to think about it.”

"A few days ago, the emperor came up and told me about this." The topic was changed, and the empress gave the concubine a meek look, "It's just that it's hard for sister Qing to think about Rongcheng."

"Your Majesty already has a new companion?" Concubine Qing's tone was full of surprise. If the queen was willing to reveal more, this curiosity would be enough.If the queen is unwilling to say more, this level will not make people feel too much.

The queen nodded, but she didn't answer Concubine Qing's question clearly. On the contrary, she suddenly thought of Hui Niang again. She turned her head and looked at Hui Niang kindly, "We have chatted for a long time. Are you feeling bored?"

Even if she really felt bored, how could Anise dare to tell the truth?She got up quickly, "I don't feel bored, just listening to the conversations of the ladies in the palace, I feel that it is good, and it has benefited my courtiers a lot."

The queen laughed twice, looked at Hui Niang carefully, and nodded in satisfaction after a long while—all the concubines in the palace, who had winked, had a knowing look on their faces at this time, and Concubine Qing was full of expressions. It was so clear——she even hooked the corners of her lips in a mysterious way, and took over the task of interrogating Ainian.

"Speaking of the second girl Qin, although I grew up in my hometown, I have heard of her—it was my sister-in-law who came in to visit me on my mother's birthday a few days ago and said: I heard that Qin The second girl grew up in my uncle's house, and your uncle is a local Confucian, the dean of the academy?"

"I don't dare to call it 'Great Confucianism', it's just the academy in the clan, it's just a little famous in the northwest." Hui Niang replied modestly.

Hearing Concubine Qing suddenly mention the matter of her being in her hometown, she was still a little panicked, but after thinking about it, she guessed that Wang Yan's handwriting might be hidden behind it-although he hasn't opened the mansion yet, there are always a few people around him. , that day in Tan Hui Temple, the request he made seemed unreasonable, but he agreed without hesitation - if there is really a slight chance that she will leave the Qin family early, then first of all, she must support her reputation come out.Combined with her background, the title of "talented woman" is of course the first choice, and it is also the least likely to show timidity.

Concubine Qing was able to hear about her life experience from relatives in her natal family, which obviously showed that Wang Yan had already started to arrange and act.I didn't expect him to take his words so seriously...

At this time, Hui Niang couldn't tell what she was feeling in her heart, the most was of course joy, but there was another kind of feeling that she couldn't explain clearly.

She clenched her fist lightly, pinching her nails into the flesh of her palm, making her divergent attention a little more focused.I only heard the queen say: "I have also heard that the academy in their family is the famous Chongshi Academy in the Northwest - Qin Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is naturally from this academy. A few years ago, Qilang went to the folk academy to study. I also studied in this Soongsil Academy for a year."

"The Seventh Prince also went to this Chongshi Academy?" Hearing this, some clever concubines looked at Hui Niang full of mystery.

The queen did not think deeply, nor did she care about the expressions on the faces of these concubines, she just looked at Concubine Qing and said, "I heard from the emperor that the wife of Mr. Wen Jinggong Bai was the same as the dean of Chongshi Academy at that time. Madame is a real sister, and Qilang also went to Chongshi Academy to settle down by chance, and it was very strange to hear about this relationship later on.”

That is, the queen—if someone else said this, there would definitely not be so many people who would be able to make a "deeply convinced" look. The mocking look that was too late to cover up was caught by Aninian, but was quickly covered up, and followed the example of the people next to her, she became amazed.

Hui Niang thought it was funny in her heart, but she showed surprise on her face, seeing the eyes of the Empress and Concubine Qing focused on her at the same time, she said: "Although my daughter grew up in the uncle's family, she usually only has a relationship with the aunt. My cousin as a companion——my uncle’s house is not in the hospital, and there is an alley away from the academy. Although the uncle will give homework to his courtiers and cousins, he never allows girls to run into the academy..."

The author has something to say: I wish everyone a happy holiday... although there is very little time left
