Chapter 154 Entering the palace for an audience, Duan Xiurong!

General Jinjia passed through the pass at night, courtiers waited until the fifth watch was cold, the sky was high and the sun was rising, and the monk had not yet risen. It seems that fame and fortune are not as good as leisure.

Although Shen Cangyu is the prince's heir, a group of civil servants and military generals have been entangled in the court, and they are very powerful.But no matter how capable and powerful he is...Even Emperor Yongping, the emperor, would still get up before dawn and honestly go to the court to listen to the government.

Whether it goes to bed later than a dog is unknown, but it is certain that it wakes up earlier than a chicken.

Every day, before the five o'clock on time, all the courtiers who are eligible to stand in the court hall will have to wait in the court room in the palace to wait for the eunuch to roll their names and call the court... And Shen Cangyu, who needs to 'go to work', is even more so every four hours a day. Get up on time, eat some breakfast indiscriminately, and then have to go to the palace with a whip.

Here it is, not bad!After all, the location of Prince Rong's Mansion...is right in the heart of the capital city, very close to the imperial palace, like the officials who can't afford to buy a house in the 'city center', they can afford it at three o'clock every day, so hurry up I was in a hurry, and I didn't dare to use porridge and water for meals, for fear that it would suddenly be "inconvenient" when I went to court... After so many years of tossing, my life span is really shortened by a few years.

"You... are you leaving? Come back sooner!" Luo Chuchen opened his eyes half asleep when the bed collapsed.It was still dark outside, and only a lamp was lit in the corner of the house, which didn't make her feel too dazzling.

"Why did you wake up? But I made too much noise?" Shen Cangyu turned her head, she was already fully dressed, and she was about to leave.

The marriage leave has ended, and this is the first time he has gone to court since he got married.It's just that it's too early, and yesterday I was busy with Wan Lanchun's affairs.He saw that Luo Chuchen was very tired and slept soundly, so he couldn't bear to wake her up.I thought I would leave quietly, but unexpectedly, there was too much movement, which woke her up.

He leaned over and patted her arm lightly, seeing that her eyes were half-closed and half-open, with a look of 'I haven't slept enough, I'm so sleepy, but I can't help it, I still have to struggle to get up', Shen Cangyu couldn't help laughing: "It's okay." Damn, I'm going to court soon. You were tired yesterday, and you were sleeping for a while..." As he spoke, he pushed Luo Chuchen, who was struggling to get up, back on the bed.

"I'm already awake, don't sleep anymore!" Luo Chuchen stretched his waist, relieved Shen Cangyu's restraint, stretched out his hands and rubbed his eyes, and asked him, "Have you had breakfast? What time is it? You so early every day?"

When he was in the Marquis of Anling, no one in the second room was qualified to go to court.Including Luo Jinzhang, he is just a mere seventh-rank official, and he only needs to go to the Imperial Academy every day to order a job, and he doesn't have the conditions to go to court at all.

As for the children of Erfang Pei's family, they are still studying in the academy, working hard for the imperial examination.He doesn't even have the qualifications to be a mao, let alone go to court!
In the entire Anling Marquis Mansion, Luo Jinwen is the only one who needs to go to the early dynasty with the stars and the moon.But he is a big family member, and Luo Chuchen can't even see him, let alone care about when he wakes up and when he leaves the house!

Luo Chuchen knew that the courtiers got up quite early. After all, they came out of that environment. Even if they didn't go into details, they understood a little bit.But she really didn't expect it to be so early! ! !
Leaning out and looking out the window, the big moon is still hanging in the sky, and the stars can be counted.This one is already fully dressed and ready to go out!

It's really... Tsk tsk, it's not easy to do anything.

"Breakfast has already been eaten, don't worry." Shen Cangyu replied in a warm voice, and then reminded: "You should sleep for a while. It's useless to wake up so early. At this time, apart from me, the father and mother are in the mansion You haven't woken up yet, even if you wake up, you have nothing to do."

"Uh... I'd better take you out!" Luo Chuchen paused, hesitated for a while, and still stood up.But without washing and dressing up, she simply put on some clothes, sent Shen Cangyu out of the Qingcang courtyard, watched him leave, and then went back to the house.

Pulling the clothes on his shoulders, Luo Chuchen walked back to the house while pressing his neck.Yawning, she complained slightly to Dan Qing who was coming towards her, "You really are, the son is leaving, why don't you wake me up!"

After all, she has married Shen Cangyu as his wife, and she has to take care of her biological mother like this.Luo Chuchen was extremely grateful in his heart.For a normal wife, when her husband is about to go to court, she also has to get up to wait and see him off. There is no reason for her to be cautious like a thief, and she will lie down and sleep soundly.

"That's because the elder son loves you, saying that you were too tired after a busy day yesterday. I'm afraid you won't be able to rest well, so we won't let us call you!" Dan Qing waved his hand with a smile, "It is obviously the elder son who cares about you, and is afraid of you We don't want to bark when we're tired... How dare we disobey the orders of the Shizi, the young mistress can't blame us!"

The son and the girl have a good relationship, and he loves the girl dearly. It's too late for Danqing to be happy, so how could he rush to oppose it!

"Cut, you're the only one who can talk!" Luo Chuchen couldn't help but smile, feeling hot in his heart, feeling very hot.

Some people feel distressed, some people care, this feeling, after all, is much better than being cold in Anling Hou's mansion, needing to be cautious and pleasing everywhere.

"Girl...no, Young Mistress, are you...just getting up now, or are you sleeping for a while?" Milu stepped forward to ask.

I looked up at the sky, it was still dark, and the moon hadn't even set.Shen Cangyu left again, Luo Chuchen thought about it, and felt a little tired, so he simply went back to the bed and slept for a while.

This time I fell asleep, and when I woke up, the sky was already bright.Looking at the time, it was almost the end of the hour (after eight o'clock), Luo Chuchen got up, washed up, had some breakfast, and then dressed neatly and went to the main courtyard to pay respects to King Rong and Concubine Xu Ji.

Shen Cangyu didn't need to wake up in the morning and evening because he was his own son, and Wang Rong loved him dearly.And Luo Chuchen is just a daughter-in-law who has just entered the house, and her status is not very worthy.Even if Shen Cangyu said that Rong Wang was gentle and easy to get along with, Luo Chuchen would not be so heartless and really treat her as a real parent, and there are still the rules that should be there.

——What's more, when she was in the Marquis of Anling, facing her 'parents', she had to wake up every morning and evening, and the sun never set.

The relationship between Rong Wang and Xu Jifei is not good.Although they all lived within the main courtyard, they were not together. Concubine Xu 'occupied' the main room of the main courtyard, while King Rong lived in the small study in front every day.When Luo Chuchen entered the main courtyard, the two had just gotten up, and the maid said that they had just finished their breakfast!

Of course, the two of them didn't have breakfast together.

First of all, Luo Chuchen naturally went to meet King Rong first.After all, this is her 'main attack' target, a relative Shen Cangyu 'acknowledges'. "Father is well, daughter-in-law is very polite." After entering the door, without saying a word, first of all, I wish you well, and my attitude is extremely sincere.

No matter who they are or who they are, all elders like to have respect for him, considerate and sensible juniors.

"Chen'er don't need to be too polite, just sit down!" Rong Wang smiled gently, with a good-natured appearance, "You and Cang Yu just got married, and my father wanted to ask Cang Yu for a month's wedding leave. Let the two of you get along well for a while, but who knows, there has been a lot of turmoil recently, since Cang Yu has already entered that Tao, she won't be able to get out easily!"

For several years, King Rong has been 'staying' in the mansion.Although there are regrets that the ambition is not paid, but in the end, I can still live in peace.Especially, after Princess Bai passed away, King Rong became more and more reluctant to move.After all, the one on the throne who suspected him was his own brother, and he had been emperor for so many years, so he couldn't rebel against him.Then, no matter how hard you fight, you are still under the hands of your own brother. The harder you work, the more you will be feared.

After so many years of idle clouds and wild cranes, King Rong is no longer the heroic young talent he was when he was young.For the only son, Shen Cangyu, all he asks is to live in peace!

It's just that my son doesn't want to be ordinary, and he doesn't want to live a life that is always controlled by others!Although King Rong was very worried, he showed no intention of stopping it.

Who has never been young, the young man's ambition and ambition, Wang Rong also had it when he was young, he was willing to let his son go for it, even if he failed in the end, it would be just like what he is now!

After all, he is the only direct brother of Emperor Yongping and the son of Empress Dowager Pei. With this title, he is the No.1 in the clan.As long as he does not rebel, no matter what his son commits, he is not guilty of death.

His son was playing poker outside, and King Rong neither helped nor objected, but he disappeared after only three days of marriage, and he was a little worried that his daughter-in-law would feel uncomfortable.

"My son works hard in court, and it's also for the sake of the family. How can my daughter-in-law complain so ignorantly!" Luo Chuchen waved his hands quickly, with a face of "I am a good wife and mother, don't let anyone stop me from helping my husband make progress." look like.

In fact, she probably knows more about Shen Cangyu's time in court than King Rong.The current situation in the court, with the downfall of Duke Cheng'en's House, has become the Pei family who are nothing... and Bachelor Luo of the Anling Marquis Mansion, who secretly supported the prince, was also dismissed, and the prince lost more and more power.Shen Cangyu is not an iron-clad princeling in the first place—that is, an existence who fears the world will not be chaotic.

The crown prince was unlucky, Shen Cangyu naturally would not follow him to 'die', instead he became 'a piece of grass' very quickly, although he didn't say it clearly, but he faintly tilted his body towards King Chang'an.

The four sons of Emperor Yongping, Prince Shen Dai, Prince Gong Shen Zhen, King Cheng County Shen Yan, and King Chang'an Shen Lang.It was originally the four princes who took over the heir, but now, King Gong and King Cheng lacked stamina, and were suppressed by the prince early on.Only Chang'an Wang De Yongping Emperor favored him, and he has been standing firm and fighting against the crown prince.

Originally, the crown prince took up the status, and the king of Chang'an was favored, so the two could be regarded as equal enemies.But recently—since Shen Cangyu took refuge in him—the prince has lost frequently, and when the Pei family collapsed, the princelings had no leader, and were severely fought by King Chang'an.Moreover, in the harem, Empress Dowager Pei has been 'ill' recently because of the downfall of her natal family and her separation from Emperor Yongping, in order to 'show weakness' and restore the relationship between mother and child with her son, while Concubine Pei...

She lost the position of concubine called "half empress". Recently, the empress and Duan Xiurong punished her so much that she wanted to cry without tears, and she was deeply afraid that Emperor Yongping would completely despise her. Emperor Ping thought she was pitiful and forgave her.

As for Princess Shuhui, it was even more unlucky. Her son was ordered to be beheaded by his brother, needless to say he felt aggrieved and uncomfortable.He simply got into a temper tantrum with Emperor Yongping, and never entered the palace to plead guilty.As for Emperor Yongping... He is the emperor of a country, so he has to humbly apologize to his younger sister, and he is not a direct relative, but a younger sister from a concubine!
The crown prince who relied on women to win half of the country lost the Queen Mother Pei, Concubine Pei and Princess Shuhui in an instant.In the court, he was oppressed by King Chang'an again, and, most importantly, he was surrounded by Shen Cangyu, an 'inner ghost' who feared the world would not be chaotic... It can be said that it has been really bad luck recently.

When listening to politics at the top, no matter what you do, whether you talk loudly or stay silent, you will be severely reprimanded by Emperor Yongping.In contrast, the king of Chang'an who is often praised and even called "this subclass Zhen" by Emperor Yongping! !
For a prince who intends to win the heir apparent, what compliment can be better than "like the father"?The actions of Emperor Guan Yongping almost made it clear that he was dissatisfied with the prince and wanted to abolish the prince and help King Chang'an take the throne.

Of course, this Luo Chuchen has no deep understanding of how much Shen Cangyu contributed to this, but what is certain is that it is [-]% due to him.And Shen Cangyu 'disturbed' the private affairs of the emperor's family like this, and went to look for the tiger talisman, and dragged the civil servants and generals... Luo Chuchen also had some guesses in his heart, but he was not very sure, after all... ...In her family and country, she is just a little girl, and she is only an 'ally' relationship with Shen Cangyu.

After talking with King Rong very friendly for a while, seeing a boy visiting outside the door, and knowing that Wang Rong should go to the front yard to practice martial arts to strengthen his body, Luo Chuchen tactfully left.

After leaving the small study, she started to go to the main courtyard. Although Concubine Xu Ji was a stepmother, she was also a serious mother-in-law, and she hated each other, but she still had to do her daily etiquette properly.

Go to the main courtyard, enter the ear room, talk to the maid who pulls the curtain, and someone comes into the room to announce.Not long after, Concubine Xu Jifei appeared in gorgeous clothes!

"...Um, why is the concubine mother..." He came out by himself!Didn't wait in the room and asked her to kneel down in salute?Luo Chuchen was very surprised.

On the day of the tea ceremony, she was so angry that she was so angry that Xu Jifei had big blisters around the corners of her mouth, which were yellowish and yellowish. She said that her chest was also very stuffy, and she had been drinking yellow lotus water for the past few days. Every time she came to pay her respects, she would lie in the room with a half-dead look of 'the daughter-in-law is not filial, how dare she disobey her'!
Today, for the first time, such a glamorous appearance really shocked Luo Chuchen.

"There is a decree in the palace just now, Madam Duan Xiurong is calling, you go with me!" Xu Jifei was wearing a bright red princess dress, all made of palace satin.Wearing a set of emerald-inlaid gold jewelry on the head, and Dongzhu ear clips on the ears, the overall feeling is extremely luxurious and rich.

She glanced sideways at Luo Chuchen, with obvious pride in her eyes, and she said: "Ms. Duan is a cousin of my family, we have a very good friendship in the boudoir, even if she enters the palace and becomes a nobleman, she has not forgotten I, often invite me to sit in the palace."

"Now, she knows that I'm married to a daughter-in-law, so she says she wants to meet you. This is a great blessing for you. Hurry up and pack up and go with me." Xu Jifei raised her voice to order with an impatient look on her face.

It was true that Duan Xiurong invited Luo Chuchen.But it's not because of her, as Xu Jifei said.Rather... Shen Cangyu and King Chang'an have been walking very close recently, faintly seeming to abandon the prince and regard him as the 'lord'.As Duan Xiurong's mother-in-law, she can't help in the court, and the communication with the women in the back house must be properly handled for his son.

Concubine Xu Jirong doesn't invite Prince Rong and his sons to see her, a good concubine is useless at all, but originally there are no other female relatives in the Prince Rong's mansion, Duan Xiurong has no choice but to endure 'befriend' Concubine Xu Ji, but the situation is different now, With Luo Chuchen as the concubine... and this concubine also has a cousin in the East Palace, Duan Xiurong naturally has to 'take care' of her!

However, as a concubine in the harem, her status is not high, and she is not in power, so she has no right to summon the imperial family at will.So, he had to find an excuse to meet his 'cousin' Xu Jifei, and asked his cousin to bring his daughter-in-law 'by the way' so that she could have a look as well. This reason was quite logical.

"Eh..." Luo Chuchen was taken aback, and was dragged by Xu Jifei for a few steps before he realized it and frowned slightly.

To be honest, after going through all kinds of "emergencies" in the draft, she didn't have a good impression of the palace. If it wasn't necessary, she really didn't want to go in.but……

Concubine Xu Ji has already opened her mouth. As a mother-in-law, she is willing to bring her daughter-in-law into the palace to 'see the world', and she has a beautiful mouth. After thinking for a long time, Luo Chuchen really has no reason to refuse, so she can only agree.

"The concubine, please wait a moment, the daughter-in-law will come after changing clothes."

"You have a lot of things to do." Xu Jifei frowned, and explained impatiently, "Hurry up and go back!!"

"No." Luo Chuchen nodded, turned and left.

After returning to Qingcang Courtyard, under the service of Dan Qing Milu, he quickly changed into proper clothes, and Luo Chuchen went out with Concubine Xu who had blocked the courtyard.

——I didn't even have time to notify King Rong.

Really, Concubine Xu Ji was in too much of a hurry, rushing and rushing, so she didn't have a moment's leisure! !
……

Going out of the gate of Prince Rong's Mansion, they got on the flower wall car and wandered along the way, the two of them came to the entrance of the palace.Concubine Xu Ji took out her waist badge and the palace guards, they were inspected again, and the two abandoned their car and entered the palace.

As the prince concubine and the eldest concubine, both of them are eligible to sit on the soft bridge carried by the two in the outer palace, but after reaching the inner palace, they have to abandon the bridge and walk.

Following the palace people who led the way, they walked through the inner palace with their heads bowed, and the two soon arrived at the place - Yurong Palace.

The status of Xiurong is not considered high in the harem, but it is only the fourth rank, and is not qualified to live alone in the first palace.But Duan Xiurong had a son, Emperor Yongping's favorite son, and the empress didn't make things difficult for her, she didn't arrange any master position in Yurong Palace, but let Duan Xiurong monopolize the palace.

Although she lives in the side hall, there is no 'Niangniang' in the main hall, and she is actually in charge of this palace, so I don't think it is inconvenient.

Yurong Palace - it is at the end of the east and west zodiac palaces. It is not a very good place, but because of Emperor Yongping's favor, it is extremely exquisitely repaired.Following the maid leading the way into the courtyard, Luo Chuchen raised his head to have a look. After comparing, he found that this place seemed to be more magnificent than Concubine Pei's Yonghe Palace.

——Although, it is bigger than the yard of Nobody's House, and the location is good.

After all, Duan Xiurong is the favorite concubine, while Concubine Pei is just taking advantage of her status.

Taking a casual glance, Luo Chuchen didn't dare to look too much, and followed Xu Jifei step by step, they entered the main hall, turned the screen and went to the inner bedroom.

"My wife has met Madam Duan, and Madam Duan is blessed and safe." Xu Jifei knelt down and kowtowed.

Seeing this, Luo Chuchen quickly knelt down too.

"Sister, please don't be too polite, get up!" An extremely gentle voice sounded next to my ear, with a hint of sweetness and a smile, "Is this your daughter-in-law, from the Anling Marquis Mansion? Didn't you think so?" , it turned out to be such an outstanding personality!"
