The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 141 Entering the Palace ([-])

Xiao Nan was amazed.

Didn't she feel puzzled by the sentence 'you don't know, but she knows your people', because such people do exist, for example, the Hu businessman Wang Youan wanted to recommend to her, but Xiao Nan didn't know him, but the other party did. Xiao Nan.

What she was puzzled about was why Ah Ming was the introducer.

You must know that Xiao Nan and Ah Ming are best friends, and the social circles they are in basically overlap. To put it bluntly, this circle is the upper class of the capital, and within this range, there is almost no one Xiao Nan does not know.

"Ah, who are you talking about? It's so twisted."

"Oh, don't ask, you'll know when you see it. Hey, by the way, what about your old lady and eldest lady? Didn't the second wife also return to Beijing? Why don't you enter the palace together?"

Ah Ming was worried about the disharmony between Xiao Nan and her in-laws, so she took the time to ask.

"The old madam is getting old, and His Royal Highness is sympathetic, so she spared her congratulations. The second madam and the eldest madam caught wind and cold last night, and the imperial doctor ordered them to rest, so..."

The real situation is: the second lady did catch a cold, but it didn't affect Chaohe, but for some reason, the old lady ordered her not to go out and to recuperate at home.As for the eldest lady, even more so, she lost her composure last night, how could the old lady let her go to the palace to embarrass herself? !

The second wife is of high rank, but she follows Cui Run in the post; as for the other female family members of the Cui family, they are not qualified to enter the palace to congratulate them.

"Oh, no wonder you came alone."

Ah Ming doesn't care what happens to the Cui family, as long as they don't deliberately isolate Qiao Mu.

While talking, the two of them had come to a corner of the side hall, surrounded by four or five female relatives in formal gowns.

"Ah Cheng, this is Princess Xiangcheng,"

Ah Ming once called a young woman of seventeen or eighteen years old, and saw that she had six gold tines on her head, she should be a woman of the fourth rank.

"Qiao Mu, this is the wife of the Crown Prince Qianniu Helan, General Hou Junjun."

Ah Ming turned her head and introduced to Xiao Nan again.

Hou Junjun?The surname is Hou, and he is granted the title of Sipin Junjun?

Xiao Nan's eyes flashed, and the information of the woman in front of him suddenly flashed in his mind: Well, the surname is Hou, and the husband is Prince Qianniu, also surnamed He Lan, must be Hou Cheng, the daughter of Hou Junji and the wife of He Lan Chushi.

While Xiao Nan was sizing up Hou Cheng, the other party was also observing her.

Seeing the light in Xiao Nan's eyes, Hou Cheng knew that the other party had already guessed his identity, and bowed his head with a smile on his face, "My son, Hou Cheng, has met the princess of Xiangcheng."

"Mr. Hou Jun doesn't need to be too polite."

Xiao Nan nodded slightly, right in return.

"Hehe, my little character Ah Cheng, if the princess doesn't give up, just call my son Ah Cheng directly."

Hou Junjun is a tiger girl from the general family, and her husband's family is also a military general, so her temperament is also very straightforward, and she does not put on airs when she meets Xiao Nan.

Of course, this does not rule out her urgency to make friends with Xiao Nan.

Xiao Nan kept his composure, smiled kindly and said: "Okay, I'm Xiaozi Qiao Mu, since you are Ah Ming's friend, you can also call me Qiao Mu together with her."

"..." Hou Junjun hesitated for a while, somewhat scrupulous.

Ah Ming has a blunt personality and can't understand how polite they are. He took Hou Junjun's hand with one hand and Xiao Nan with the other, and finally overlapped and said straightforwardly: "What Qiao Mu said is that you are all mine. Friends, then we are all friends too, why are there so many politeness between friends?!"

The current atmosphere is very upright, saints and courtiers are as close as family members, so the so-called superiority and inferiority are not obvious.

Hou Junjun was also moved by the talk, and nodded with a busy smile, "Well, what Ah Ming said is true."

Turning his head, looking at Xiao Nan, he tried to call out, "Qiao Mu!"

Xiao Nan immediately responded, and then also replied, "Ah Cheng!"

"Hehe, that's right! We're not those gentry girls whose eyes are above the top," Ah Ming realized that she had said something wrong, and quickly apologized to Xiao Nan: "Well, Qiao Mu, I, I can Not about you."

How could she have forgotten that Xiao Nan is also a daughter of Jiang Zuo's family, and now she is a high-ranking wife of the Cui family? !

Damn it, damn it!

Xiao Nan saw Ah Min's remorseful expression, patted her on the shoulder with his hand, and said seriously: "Okay, I know you didn't mean me. But I really want to remind you, you should change your temper It's okay to speak out, we sisters, but if you change to an outsider, wouldn't they blame you?!"

Ah Ming knew she had made a slip of the tongue, so she didn't dare to argue, she nodded repeatedly to show that she knew she was wrong.

Xiao Nan used to have a stern face, but seeing her fawning expression now, he couldn't hold back his laughter.

At this time, there were more and more people in the side hall.

Xiao Nan found out that although these people who came were all court wives above the fourth rank of the imperial court, they were divided into several groups because of their backgrounds and husbands' official positions: the first type was the royal relatives like Xiao Nan and Ah Ming, And this group is also divided into several types-court nobles, traditional gentry, and new aristocratic families.

Due to the complex composition of this group of people, there is no fixed member. Most of them meet acquaintances and get together to chat, and the conversations are mostly about entertainment, banquets, clothing, door shade and so on.

On the surface, it looks like a group of harmony, but in fact there is not too strong cohesion.

But there is one thing, these wives are all of high grade, and they are very concerned about the affairs of the court and the harem.

The second type is pure gentry women.This group of people also has great characteristics. One is that they are small in number, and the other is that their grades are generally low.

These people tend to think that they are noble, and they reject those upstarts who have no background, even the royal family.

We often get together to say some inscrutable words, the level of "elegance" is not something that people in this circle can't understand.

But most of them have nothing to do with the court affairs.

The third type is the family members of civil officials who took the imperial examination or were recruited by the court in the name of talent. Their composition is also very complicated, including daughters of nobles, commoners from the market, and declining gentry.

These people also have obvious characteristics. Their grades are neither high nor low, but most of their husbands are powerful figures who can be used by the court.

"However, Qiao Mu, these people also have problems. What age is it? They still put on the airs of the nobles, and everyone looks superior. There is not even a person in the family who can support the family. They can't succeed in literature or martial arts. Apart from a surname, what else do they have? On the surface, they say it with a high-sounding sound, but secretly they are willing to 'sell their marriage' for money..."

Ah Ming couldn't understand those nobles very much, after being quiet for a while, he still couldn't help complaining.

"That's right, you talk about the gentry and the common people all day long, and you refuse to marry the poor family. Hmph, who cares? In such a big family, the head of the family is only a fifth-rank official, and he can't shade his descendants. I don't believe it, how many years can such a family thrive?!"

Hou Junjun also echoed repeatedly. Seeing her excited appearance, it is estimated that she or her husband have also been despised by the nobles.

But thinking about it, Hou Junji's reputation in the officialdom is not very good, and his meritorious service is far less than those of the old princes. The Helan family is also a descendant of the Xianbei tribe. .

With the arrogance of the gentry, it's strange that they can look up to them.

"But speaking of Menyin," Hou Junjun is straightforward, but not stupid. She knows very well that the person standing beside her is both a royal family member and a nobleman, and there are some things she can't say in front of Xiao Nan.

Turning the subject around, Junjun Hou moved closer to Xiao Nan and said, "Cui Xianggong has any arrangements for Mr. Cui Balang? My lord said that there are still vacancies for the positions of Qianniu in the East Palace and Qianniu Beishen. If Mr. Balang..."

Hou Junjun didn't say the rest, but Xiao Nan already understood what she meant.

To be honest, Xiao Nan really intends to help Cui Youbo find a future, and the goal is also with the prince.

However, it's not Qianniu or Qianniu's body, these are military positions after all, and with Cui Ba's small physique, it was just a filling material in the past, and there is no future at all.

Moreover, taking ten thousand steps back, even if he was a prince, Xiao Nan would never follow the Hou family's path.

This, this... is too dangerous.

Of course, this cannot be said clearly, after all, Lord Hou has good intentions, Xiao Nan may not accept it, but he has to appreciate it.

Smiling gratefully, Xiao Nan said in embarrassment: "Uncle also admires Hachiro very much, and doesn't care that Hachiro is over age. If Hachiro goes to the East Palace, there is no need to talk about his future.

But, alas, I'm not afraid of making fun of you, Ah Cheng. My husband is well-versed in poetry and books.

Uncle will never dislike him, not to mention General He Lan's help, but, but I can't make the two of you feel too embarrassed for Hachiro. "

Xiao Nan's meaning is very clear, Cui Ba is just a weak scholar, and he is beyond Quanxuan's age, even if he barely enters the East Palace through the back door, he is just a bottom-of-the-line guy, we can't let him embarrass the East Palace.

Jun Jun Hou heard the words, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled again: "Qiao Mu is too modest, no one in the capital doesn't know Cui Jiayulang. Of course, that's all I said, hehe, Qiao Mu is the beloved daughter of the eldest princess. With the princess here, no one will treat you badly."

Xiao Nan's face changed slightly, and he said with a bit of coldness: "You can't say that, A Niang really loves me, but A Niang always remembers the teachings of Her Highness the Empress, and does not dare to use power for personal gain, Ah Cheng must not talk nonsense. "

Hou Junjun's expression froze, and he smiled unnaturally, hiding his displeasure.

Xiao Nan frowned slightly, this person really has the same temper as her father.But if there is even the slightest bit of dissatisfaction, hold grudges, and don't be close friends!

Ah Ming saw that the atmosphere was not right, so she hurriedly smoothed things over, "Okay, okay, don't talk about this, look quickly, the female officer of His Royal Highness has come out, it is estimated that His Royal Highness is going to summon us!"

"Well, let's go!"

Xiao Nan cherished Ah Ming as a friend very much, and didn't want to embarrass her, so he answered along the way.

Hou Junjun also realized that he had lost his composure just now, so he quickly smiled, "Okay, let's go!"

Sure enough, the female official stood in front of the side hall, conveyed the queen's edict, and invited all the wives to enter the main hall to have an audience.

As soon as the words fell, the wives in the side hall arranged their clothes one after another, put on the most dignified posture, and slowly followed the female officer into the main hall.

In the main hall, Mrs. Changsun wears a twelve-tree phoenix crown with large pearl flowers on her head, and two temples. She wears a dark blue dress with Zhai Wen on a vermilion base. The collar, skirt, and skirt are all woven with golden cloud and dragon patterns on a vermilion base. The vermilion lower garment, Wearing a large vermilion belt, wearing a pair of white jade pendants, with hands folded on knees, sitting in the main hall...

PS: Well, my younger brother is getting married, and a certain Sa is spending money and effort, alas, the update is not enough, I'm sorry dears! !
