Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

169 Chapter 2 Scenery from the Palace [-]
The golden-roofed goose-yellow embroidered phoenix Luan was carried from Yikun Palace all the way to Xuanwu Gate, and palace people holding all kinds of incense scarves, embroidered handkerchiefs, washing bowls, dust whisks and other things formed a long line.

This luanyu who came out of the palace originally had to stop at the Xuanwu Gate to go to the palace.

The emperor was sympathetic to Chen Wenxin's illness, fearing that it would be unfavorable to change the sedan chair due to bumps, so he simply let her go to Yikun Palace directly.

The imperial plaque of Nianxin Garden leads the way in front, the golden-roofed goose yellow embroidered phoenix Luan is in the middle, and the palace and guards can't be seen behind.

This Luanyu was traveling all the way, and I don't know how many palace people passing by, standing facing the wall, very suspicious in their hearts.

The concubine Qin went to the palace to visit her relatives, why didn't there be any rumors about this before, and it happened so suddenly?

The point is, didn't the concubine Qin just fainted in Changchun Palace yesterday...

After Luanyu passed by, there were many undercurrents in the harem.

Luanyu left the palace from the Xuanwu Gate, led by Xiao Lizi, and there were hundreds of inner palace guards accompanying him all the way.

Even the imperial guards from the outer palace cleared the streets on the road to prevent people from running out and bumping into the ritual staff.

The last time I visited Tsinghua Garden, I had to delay an hour from Miyagi to the suburbs of Beijing.

That was the emperor's ceremonial stick, much stronger than the imperial concubine's ceremonial staff.

She set off from Xuanwu Gate again, the distance is closer, and it takes about half an hour to get there.

More than half an hour, using her pocket watch, it was more than an hour.

Thinking of having to bump around in Luanyu for more than an hour, Chen Wenxin felt paralyzed.

Luanyu was tall, Bailu and Baishuang sat inside, and Baixue and Baifei sat on the second step outside.

Bai Lu drew the car curtain tightly, spread out the soft pillows and cushions inside, and said, "Master, just lean here, it's still early."

She slumped down on the soft pillow and stretched comfortably.

"This luan is really big, and it's not cramped at all when it's crooked."

What's more, there were four of Bai Lu and the others sitting on the bed, Chen Wenxin stretched his legs, but he couldn't touch Bai Lu and the others.

It's just hot on the road.

Bai Shuangyuan was fanning her, but it seemed that the fanning was not strong enough, so Bai Lu took her place again.

Bai Shuang is good at dressing up, but she really can't learn half of Bai Lu.

Chen Wenxin couldn't help teasing her, "Bai Shuang, are you afraid? You will be able to meet Bai Lu's biological sister Ying'er in the garden, and then your sister Lu will not love you."

Bai Shuang couldn't help but smile, and said straightly: "Is it a child for the master to be a slave? Can you be fooled by these words? Sister Lu treats us well from slaves to little maids in Yikun Palace."

Bailu, as her personal maid-in-waiting, is able to win the hearts of the people in Yikun Palace, which is her success.

Chen Wenxin curled her lips lazily, not giving up, "That's because there is no Yinger in the palace, if I bring Yinger into the palace, you can see if Bailu treats you as well as Yinger."

Bai Shuang looked at Bai Lu's expression, lowered her head and thought for a while, and said, "That's Sister Lu's biological daughter, and it's right to treat her well. A servant is not afraid of a master who loves her."

Apparently Chen Wenxin was out of the palace today, and she was in a good mood, so Bai Shuang laughed and laughed with her.

Bai Lu lowered her head slightly, with a smile on her lips.

Naturally, she was very happy to see her sister, and she was equally happy to see that person.

That young and flirtatious young general, that man who smiled and moved with outstanding demeanor.

Seeing her bowing her head and smiling, Chen Wenxin thought she was happy to see Yinger, so she said, "If you miss her deeply, I will marry you early and let Yinger go to be your company."

Bai Lu blushed, "Master made fun of the servants again, and talked about whether to marry or not all day long."

Bai Shuang also jokingly said: "Master, when will Sister Lu get married? Do you have to wait until you are 25 years old and get out of the palace before remarrying or..."

Bai Lu was so angry that she hit her, "What's the matter with you, girl? Could it be that you miss spring and want to marry so early?"

Bai Xue and Bai Fei couldn't help but smile at each other when they heard the voices of talking and joking.

The two of them were sitting outside the car, so they couldn't talk and laugh casually, which would be seen as indecent.

It's better for Bailu and Baishuang to be able to talk with the master inside.

There were two people talking and laughing along the way, Bai Lu, but they didn't find it very difficult.

Xiao Lizi's voice sounded, and he replied: "Madam, we will reach Nianxin Garden in half a mile."

This is to prevent her from resting in bed, with disheveled clothes and hair accessories, so that she has time to prepare in advance.

Chen Wenxin nodded slightly, and Bai Lu turned outside and said, "Our master knows, there is Mrs. Lao."

I could only hear Bai Fei's voice from outside saying happily: "Master, I can see the light yellow curtain ahead, the streets and alleys are completely blocked."

Half a mile away from Nianxin Garden, the curtain was closed, which shows that the Ministry of Internal Affairs handles this matter solemnly.

"It's hard for them. They can do the errands overnight like this."

Bai Fei hurriedly sat down again, she still had to be vigilant about the rules before she arrived in the garden.

Chen Wenxin sat up from the soft pillow, Bai Lu straightened her skirt for her, and tightened her temples with a pair of hollowed-out enamel-inlaid presses.

"After a while, when the master gets up, the servant will smooth the back of your clothes, and that will be fine."

Chen Wenxin quietly lifted Luanyu's car curtain a little, and secretly looked out from the inside.

I saw that both sides of the street were blocked by light yellow curtains, and half of the people could not be seen quietly.

There are also some buildings or shops facing the street, which look quiet.

Bai Shuang looked out through the gap, and said with a smile: "Master, you are peeking outside here, maybe there are people in the building outside, peeking at your ceremonial staff through the gap in the window paper."

Chen Wenxin smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? We can't see them, and they naturally can't see us. This ceremonial staff is just for anyone to look at, and there are quite a few pieces of gold leaf."

Isn't this Luanyu the one with the golden roof, and the higher-ups don't know how much gold leaf they can knock out.

The matter of visiting relatives has been prepared for a long time, and the garden was officially arranged yesterday.

A lot of girls and servants were newly bought in the garden, and the old servants served by the Chen family came into the garden to discipline them.

The members of the Chen family had long been waiting outside the Nianxin Garden. The Zheng family and the Zeng family were wearing heavy makeup, and they brought their family members, Chen Wenli and Chen Wenxin, two young children, waiting outside the main entrance of the garden.

Chen Xihai led Chen Wenren and Chen Wenyi to wait on the West Street outside the garden.

After Chen Xihai received the order yesterday, he started to prepare. Sure enough, Chen Wenxin woke up last night, and news came from the palace that Luan was leaving the palace early this morning.

Everyone prepared early in the morning. Fortunately, there were often young eunuchs in the palace to report news, telling them that Chen Wenxin had arrived somewhere at a certain time.

While waiting in a hurry, the sound of horse racing sounded outside.

Two teams of guards in inner palace uniform came galloping from a distance, about five or sixty people, standing guard on both sides.

The leader was a second-class guard, who came forward to salute Chen Xihai and Chen Wenyi, and then made a parity salute with Chen Wenren.

"Report to Master Chen, Empress Luanyu will be here soon."

Chen Xihai was relieved after hearing this, and couldn't help but keep looking into the distance, and it was hard to show it.

That would make him seem too unstable.

After a while, a dozen or so eunuchs came panting.While clapping their hands, they winked at the eunuchs who had been waiting outside Nianxin Garden.

This is coming.

Everyone straightened their collars and waited anxiously for Luanyu to be carried from a distance.

After a while, I saw two eunuchs coming slowly on horseback.He got off his horse at Xijie, drove the horse out of the enclosure, and stood facing west.

Then there was another pair, and the same was true.

Not long after, a dozen pairs of eunuchs came.

When the last pair of eunuchs who came on horseback stood still, the sound of drum music could be heard faintly.

A group of eunuchs playing musical instruments came into the eyes of everyone first, and then eunuchs holding various items in their hands followed behind the drumming team.

The next four eunuchs held the imperial plaque from Nianxin Garden, which was to clear the way for Luanyu, and Luanyu would come later.

Sure enough, I saw two pairs of maids in the back, holding gold burners in their hands and burning imperial incense.

After that, there was a tall gold-topped goose-yellow embroidered phoenix phoenix, which was steadily carried up by eight strong and strong eunuchs.

Chen Xihai and the other three stood beside them, kneeling down to greet them.

Xiao Lizi reported loudly: "Chen Xihai, the first-class bodyguard of the foreign minister, Chen Wenyi, the general of Wuji, and Chen Wenren, the garrison of the Green Camp, kowtow to see Luanjia."

Chen Wenyi searched carefully from the side of the car curtain facing him, and sure enough, he saw a small slit on the side, in which half of Chen Wenxin's eyes were exposed.

Chen Wenxin in the sedan chair saw that Chen Wenyi had found her, so she hurriedly said softly, "Excuse me."

Bai Xue outside the car heard it, and said loudly: "Miss Qin has an order, so I'm free."

Only then did the three get up, followed Luanyu into West Street, and arrived at the gate of Nianxin Garden.

Xiao Lizi reported the titles of the Zheng family and the Zeng family again, but Chen Wenxin was too busy to say no.

Luanyu was carried into the gate of Nianxin Garden, and Chen Wenxin was able to get down from the palace.

The guards stayed outside the gate, and the eunuch and court lady waited on Chen Wenxin to go outside the second gate.

So when she entered, the eunuchs dispersed, leaving only Bai Lu and four other personal servants by her side.

Chen Wenxin looked behind him, only to see that a screen had separated the people outside, and now it was the Chen family's own people.

She hurriedly stepped forward to hold Zheng's hand, and knelt down to Zheng and Chen Xihai.

In a panic, Mrs. Zheng wanted to help her up, and Bai Lu and others rushed to help her.

Zheng said anxiously: "I can't help it, get up!"
