Jinghua Tianjiao

The sedan chair slowed down, and the city gate was ahead.After passing the city gate, it is the imperial city. Du Juan vaguely remembers the way to Zangbao Pavilion last time, and she also entered from here.The officers and soldiers who guarded the city went up and inspected it, and let it go without saying anything.

Mr. Su simply got off the sedan chair, walked to the back, raised the curtain of the sedan chair and told Du Juan, "Du Xiuniang, I will arrive at the Chongzheng Hall in a while. You can stop talking and stay with the little princess. Everyone who arrives today It's princes and ministers, as well as envoys from foreign vassals, if there is any trouble here, we will have to go around!"

"Eunuch Su, you are overthinking, these rules in the palace are still clear."

Only then did Eunuch Su feel relieved, and he was afraid of any accident, so he walked with him outside the sedan chair, "My little princess, the slave is outside the sedan chair, if you need anything, please call our family at any time."

The young lady didn't say a word, she leaned against Du Juan, and asked in a low voice, "Sister Juan, my parents should be there in a while, I'm really afraid of them...I..."

Du Juan patted the girl's head, and helped her rearrange her collar, "Don't worry, girl, today is the announcement ceremony in the name of the Silk Sculpture Competition. I believe the list will still be the first priority. Let's just wait and see what happens. You Parents have raised her for many years, and they can be regarded as nobles of the royal family, so the royal family still has to take care of this face."

"But I don't want to be a princess... I told them, they have to make me a princess."

Xiao Niang's words made Du Juan also embarrassed, Xiao Niang was originally a member of the royal family, and it stands to reason that her status is known to the world now, and according to the etiquette system, it is true that she must recognize her ancestors and canonize her, which is her fate that she cannot escape.But Xiaoniang has a very strong personality, so she definitely can't answer like this, but said, "Xiaoniang doesn't want to be separated from her current parents, right?"

"Well, I don't want to be separated from them. My house has also been repaired, and they promised to let my parents go back to live, but I... have to stay in the palace, and I don't want to leave them."

Du Juan hugged the little girl into her arms, although the two spoke in a low voice, Eunuch Su outside the sedan chair heard it clearly, and sighed, "Princess, this is the time to change your fate, it's a blessing, but why are you so worried!"

The little lady was really uncomfortable, but after hearing what Su Gonggong said outside the sedan chair, she stopped making a sound.Du Juan said casually, "Everyone has their own ambitions, so why think about it, and pursue differences. Eunuch Su flatters the top, he is handy, but he is not afraid of ignoring his conscience!"

"you!"

The main hall was in front of him, no matter how big the fire was, Eunuch Su could only endure it.The chariots, horses and sedan chairs stopped outside the Chongzheng Hall, and Du Juan and Xiaoniang got off the sedan chairs.The Chongzheng Hall stands majestically in front of you, which is comparable to the Chongzheng Hall in the Shenyang Imperial Palace in reality.On the white stone and blue brick platform leading to the main hall, there is a sundial in the east corner, and a huge stone lion and beast in the west corner.To the upper floor of the main hall, there are steps again.But compared to the level of Zangbao Pavilion, it is much less, and the majesty of such a palace is only reflected in this imperial city.

The princes and ministers were already going up the steps. Eunuch Su led Du Juan and Xiaoniang all the way to a gate at the back of the hall, leading directly to the inside of the hall.

The grand hall is magnificent and solemn. It used to be a place where officials discuss affairs of state, but now it has been changed.There are long tables sitting on felts on both sides, which are filled with all kinds of delicacies and fruits.Looking at the top of the main hall, you can have a panoramic view of the pillars and beams of the hall, colorful clouds, dragons and phoenixes, which are very gorgeous.And the supporting girder frame is tied with a golden ribbon, hanging straight down as if born out of it, this place is so spectacular, but what happened to the princess now?

Large and small carriages were parked outside the Princess Mansion, and the marks of Honglu Temple and Huaiyuan Station were engraved on the carriages.In the Song Dynasty, it was not Honglu Temple that was in charge of negotiating with other vassal states, but Huaiyuan Post.Although Honglu Temple is responsible for these negotiations, it has no authority.The officials of Huaiyuan Station went in and out of the princess mansion back and forth, moving all the large and small objects in the mansion out of the car.

The princess sat in front of the vanity mirror, her hair was a mess, and she wouldn't let anyone come near her.Eunuch Li on one side persuaded, "Princess, today is different from the past. The time to waste time and money is getting closer and closer, and our family has no choice. The letter was rejected. Our fate is sealed, princess!"

The princess didn't speak, and the light in her eyes was gone. She got up and went to the window.Looking at the majestic and towering palace not far away, "Father has gone to Chongzheng Hall, and the list is about to be released. Do you think they will come?"

"Princess, you mean Du Xiuniang and Xiaoniang..."

The princess waved her hand, "I can't call her Xiaoniang anymore. She is also a princess now, with the same title and the same fate. Today is the day when the silk sculpture contest will be announced. Eunuch Li, what do you think our result will be?"

Eunuch Li hesitated, not daring to tell the truth.The princess turned around and saw him without saying a word, "I'm afraid it's not a chance."

Eunuch Li knelt down with a "plop" and said in shame, "Princess, it's all because of our incompetence!"

"Get up, the current situation is not your fault."

Eunuch Li got up. He already knew the result of the silk sculpture competition, so he told the princess in every detail, "Princess, in fact, our family got the news early this morning. The silk baby Yu Ji you made with Du Xiuniang and the others has not Can make the list."

"I knew it would be like this. The fate of Jinghuafang is the same as mine, so it should be here." After hearing what Eunuch Li said, the princess was calm, but she was unwilling. It can no longer become a famous workshop in the Daming Mansion. That’s all, that’s all! Let’s get dressed.”

Eunuch Li looked at the princess with tears in his eyes, knelt down again, and said, "Princess! Our family is willing to follow the princess, accompany the princess, and go to the Kingdom of Jin. Our family is willing to serve the princess for a lifetime. Since childhood, our family has watched the princess grow up. Now we The family will not let the princess suffer a little bit of grievance. Our family has no relatives and no one to rely on, and this life belongs to you, the princess."

The princess was passive, and stepped forward to help Eunuch Li, "Eunuch Li, get up quickly, there is no need to be like this, everything is determined, let fate. In recent years, Eunuch Li has helped the princess mansion, I remember it in my heart, only I'm afraid I won't be able to repay you in this life. I still have some things in my inner house, so if I don't follow Honglu Temple this time, I will leave it all to Eunuch Li."

"No, no. Princess, our family can't bear this kind of grace. If you hadn't stood up for the old slave in front of the officials back then, the old slave wouldn't be alive today."

Eunuch Li remembered this kindness, "Our family will remember the princess's kindness for the rest of our life. I am afraid that we will never be able to repay it in a lifetime."

"Eunuch Li doesn't need to repay you. You have assisted me for many years, and you deserve it." The princess looked at the hall in the distance again, "It's just that today, the day when the silk statue is released, is the day when the father announced the identity of the little mother to the ministers. I'm afraid they won't be overly sad when they hear the result. The most worrying thing is my adoptive parents, what a blow this is to them."

Halfway through the feast, the hall was full of people. Du Juan could be considered to have seen the current emperor (just called the official family here), as well as the princes and ministers who were sitting with her, Xiao Niang and Du Juan.The officials and saints in the hall cared about the little princess, and they looked here from time to time, and Du Juan felt a little embarrassed.Apart from officials, saints and ministers, envoys from the Kingdom of Jin were sitting at the long table closest to the hall, which made the atmosphere of the whole feast a bit strange.

At this time, Eunuch Su detoured from the hall, looked at the crowd, opened a golden scroll, and shouted, "Silence!"

There was no sound in the room, and everyone's eyes were on Su Gonggong. Su Gonggong continued, "The silk sculpture competition has started!"

Du Juan and Xiaoniang don't know the result, but with the scroll in Eunuch Su's hand, is there still hope in Jinghuafang?
