Chapter 2 It's Better to Hang the Southeast Branch Yourself

Xie wailed in front of Xie Fenghuang for several hours, Xie Fenghuang couldn't be coaxed, and wanted to cry with her!

In the end, it was her cousins, cousins, nephews and nieces who came back from the banquet at Duke Yi's mansion, and persuaded Mrs. Xie to go back to the back hall.

"Cousin, this matter..." After Xie was sent away, Xie Fenghuang's eldest cousin, Lan, made a wink for the idler to leave, and left a few sisters-in-law to apologize to her, saying that although father-in-law Yunju didn't intentionally cheat on his niece It means that Xie Fenghuang wants to enter the palace after all. This is because they are sorry for Xie Fenghuang. Please let Xie Fenghuang look at the relationship between the flesh and blood.

Half of this apology came out of sincerity. After all, although Xie Fenghuang was just a cousin, she got along well with them, and it played a big role in the harmony between the Yun family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. The cousins ​​really didn't want her to enter the palace to see people's faces; Half of them were worried that Xie Fenghuang would hate him.

Now that Xie Fenghuang has been unilaterally declared by Yi Guogong to be the daughter of Yunju and his wife, she will be both prosperous and hurt with them. If she can't think of a rebellion, or revenge after being favored, it will be very difficult for the Lan family and others. Neither is a good thing.

Simply this cousin acted very sensible, she didn't even cry to show her grievance, she just said that the matter has come to an end, for the safety of the whole family, let's quickly inquire about the news of the palace, so as not to be offended if we don't know where to go The nobles implicate the family.

"You don't have to worry about this cousin. Although our family is not very rich, we are the clan of Concubine Shu." Lan hurriedly assured her, "And the fourth lady from the Duke's mansion is also going to enter the palace. The mansion must have been prepared a long time ago, we just made an agreement with the Duke and Madam, and I will make a copy of the things for you later."

He also euphemistically expressed that the dowry sent by Xie's family to give Xie Fenghuang out of the pavilion will be packed as soon as possible, so that Xie Fenghuang can carry it into the palace, "my father-in-law just ordered, if it is too late, we will use our family's things to top it first, after all, we can't I wronged my cousin."

Seeing that Xie Fenghuang nodded calmly and had no intention of talking, Lan couldn't think of other topics for a while, so she laughed awkwardly for a while, and could only get up and leave, "We won't disturb my sister's rest."

After going out, she asked her sister-in-law in a hurry: "An ordinary girl who encounters such an accident at home, I'm afraid she's already crying to death! Our cousin is not the kind of person who is foolishly thinking about entering the palace and being rich. The reaction is so indifferent? Could it be that she has hated us to the bone, so her heart is ashamed, so she is calm?"

But he didn't know that Xie Fenghuang was sitting on the couch dying of death, calling Nianxuan weakly to pinch her shoulders and beat her legs, and said angrily: "It's my aunt first, and then a few cousins, it's really not that the whole family doesn't come into the house... ...Since you know that I am unhappy right now, why don't you give me some peace?!"

Even if she had no heart at first, but after she was distressed by Mrs. Xie and asked her sisters-in-law to make up for it again, her heart would be shattered, okay?

Nianxuan was not as calm as her, and she burst into tears: "Miss, life is hard..."

Here it comes again and it comes again! ! !

Xie Fenghuang couldn't take it anymore and put his head on her shoulder, begging: "Ancestor, please stop the meeting, okay?"

"The servant girl really feels that Miss' life is miserable. Miss obviously did nothing wrong, so why is she always being troubled by others?" Nianxuan snorted and cried, "It was like this at home before, and it was settled in the baby The marriage just fell through; the past two years have been peaceful in the imperial capital, and I thought nothing would happen, but seeing that my aunt is about to marry you, who would have thought that such a thing would happen again..."

No wonder she felt sad. Originally, Xie Fenghuang, as the legitimate daughter of a rich family in the Northland, was welcomed after her own parents had four legitimate sons in succession. She was born smart, studious, and shared a teacher with her youngest brother, and the teacher regretted that she was a daughter.

When he was twelve years old, he was well-known in the local area for his good looks and talent, and his fiancé's family was very proud of the early arrangement of the two marriages. On the other hand, her father's other daughter, her eldest sister Xie Fenghuan Hongxing, who was born out of a concubine, went out of the wall and was caught by her husband's family!

Xie's daughter's reputation inevitably suffered a devastating blow!

As Xie Fenghuan's closest sister by blood and relationship, Xie Fenghuang is doomed to escape catastrophe. Not only does her husband's family regret the marriage, but none of the well-matched local families are willing to marry her!

After all, her parents loved her, and they were reluctant to marry her daughter at will or send her to the family temple. They contacted the Xie family who married far away and sent her to the imperial capital for foster care. They originally planned to travel a long way. After leaving the court, having children by her side, and then contacting her mother's family, her husband's family should know her character by then, and won't doubt her because of Xie Fenghuan's matter... This turmoil will be over!

As a result, the master and the servant have come here for the past two years, but when they were about to discuss the marriage, they made Yun Ju a hole - the more Nian Xuan thought about it, the more she hated her, and she couldn't help but wonder in a low voice: "Could it be that my aunt is greedy for you?" Wealthy, doing it on purpose, but teaching Yi Guogong to bear this reputation? We dare not confront Yi Guogong!"

"Don't say that." Xie Fenghuang actually had such a guess, but he immediately warned the servant girl, "We are living under the fence now, what's the use of talking about it? Besides, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, even if there is no such thing, If I leave the cabinet normally, the result may not be good. Otherwise, why would the predecessors say that it is easy to find priceless treasures, but rare to have a lover?"

Nian Xuan choked up and said: "But if you leave the court normally, at least you are the main wife. And even if the husband and wife don't get along, they will see each other no matter how many times they meet. They won't be like in the palace. Once they enter the deep sea, they don't even have their lives in their hands."

...Do you want to change this maid?

Xie Fenghuang stared at the bun she was crying bit by bit in front of him, and thought blankly: This lady has worked so hard to comfort herself, but where is the pain and where is it piercing? ? ?

Nian Xuan simply knew her temper, so she didn't dare to cry for a while, so she sat up and squeezed her shoulders and legs.

After a while, the Lan family came again and brought a message from the Duke Yi's mansion, saying that the palace would send someone to teach Xie Fenghuang the etiquette and rules tomorrow, so that she would be ready.

In the early morning of the next day, a small sedan chair came from the palace, and a palace maid in Tsing Yi was carried. She was in her thirties, a little bit delicate, but she had a stern face and a stern look. The members of the Yun family received her very apprehensively. Mrs. Xie originally wanted to say something nice to her niece, but this palace maid who called herself Xiufu expressed his politeness and expressed that he would not neglect the order of Concubine Shu. , We must hurry up and start teaching.

Mrs. Xie didn't dare to stop her, so she could only apologize and said with a smile: "My niece has always been spoiled, if she didn't do well, please..."

Before handing over the silver collar of the confidant girl next to her, Xiufu corrected her in a calm and slow voice: "Madam said it was bad, this servant was ordered to teach you and Master Yun's favorite jewel, not niece or niece. !"

Xie who didn't remember that his niece had been forcibly turned into a daughter at all: "...Yes, what you said is true, I made a slip of the tongue."

When Xiufu led Xie Fenghuang to the side courtyard, she began to wipe away tears, "Poor my son! This is just a court lady in front of Concubine Shu, so she dares to humiliate me in public, let alone Fenghuang? How can I be worthy of my brother and sister-in-law?"

Lan Shi and the others felt their scalps go numb, and rushed to persuade Xie Shi, the more they persuaded Xie Shi, the more he cried, so he could only cry with her, until Yun Ju, who hadn't dared to go home all day and night, slipped back quietly, and what he saw was a whole room The female relatives hugged and wailed together, and sat down on the ground in fright: "It's hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, can't Feng Huang think about it, is it gone?!"

"You still have the face to come back!!!" Hearing the voice, Mrs. Xie raised her head and became furious, grabbed the cloud whip drawn by the dust whisk and ran around the room, "I call you Harmful Wind, I call you Harmful Wind Huang! I will beat you to death today to vent my anger on Fenghuang!"

Although Lan and the others felt that their father-in-law deserved to be beaten, they just looked at it as a junior, so they could only go up to fight with discretion, not only to let the mother-in-law vent their anger, but also not to let the father-in-law really get beaten... They were busy When I was busy, Xie Fenghuang was being corrected by the embroiderer to salute again: "Your blessings are going down too fast, and you don't seem dignified and calm, so you have to be like this."

Xiufu made a blessing without any expression, calm and elegant, the unique aura of austerity and confinement in the palace rushed to her face, making Xie Fenghuang swallow tears again.

In the next few days, Xiufu got up early and went to bed late, and carried out special training for Xie Fenghuang from all angles, trying to make her a perfect and elegant concubine that meets the requirements of the palace.

During this time, Xie Fenghuang wanted to ask for leave to find Yun Qingman, but she rejected it, saying that Yun Qingman was also on the list of entering the palace, and she must be undergoing training now, and she might not have time to meet her. Furthermore, both of them are Concubine Yun Shu's sisters, after entering the palace, they have more time to talk, so why rush?

What if the rules are not learned well due to the delay of this meeting, and after entering the palace, you bump into the empress dowager, empress dowager, empress, empress, empress, empress, empress, etc. What should I do?

Xie Fenghuang was speechless for what he had said, but Xie, who heard about it after many inquires, cried in private with her niece in her arms. They are not allowed to meet before entering the palace, and I don't know what battles are prepared in the palace waiting for Yunyun... Xie Fenghuang... Xie Fenghuang looked up at the sky, really wanting to ask this aunt not to feel sorry for herself... How could she be so distressed , she was afraid that her niece would not hang on to the southeast branch herself!

Although Xie Fu simply refused to let Xie Fenghuang go to Yiguo Duke's Mansion, there was no intention of embarrassing others. Xie Fenghuang tentatively asked about the situation in the palace, and she was willing to say a few words: "In the past few years in the palace I have never been a newcomer. Among the concubines at the time of His Majesty's wedding, a few of them died, and they are still there now. Below the empress, there are only two concubines, the noble concubine and the concubine Shu. The next ones are Concubine Yue and Concubine Xin. Two ladies."

Guochao followed the previous system, but with some changes.

The lord of the harem is naturally the empress, which is super class. After that came the first-rank concubine Guishu Dexian, from the first-rank concubine, from the second-rank wife, from the second-rank ninth concubine, from the third-rank Jieyu, from the third-rank noble concubine, from the fourth-rank concubine, from the fourth-rank nobleman, The fifth-rank beauties, from fifth-rank talents, sixth-rank Chenggui, sixth-rank Baolin, seventh-rank Yuwan, seventh-rank Fengyi, and finally eight-rank Cainu.

There are really not many people in Emperor Chunjia's harem now, and there are even fewer high-ranking people.

The main reason was that there were not enough people at the time of the big wedding. After eight years, a group of them went due to various reasons, and now it is even more desolate: when the concubine is down, there is only one Mrs. Yaoning at the rank of wife, and the nine concubines only stand at the same time. Li Zhaoyuan is the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and the Empress's family member Xiao Ji.

Jieyu, concubines, concubines, and nobles are all vacant, and there are only two beauties at the fifth rank, and Yun Qingman, who was hired this time, has to be counted.

There were a few low-ranking concubines after that, but Xiufu passed by, and seeing her disapproving expression, it is estimated that they were all from poor backgrounds and unfavorable, so there is no need to worry about it.

...Of course it must be Concubine Yun Shu who doesn't need to worry about it, but for Xie Fenghuang, she may not dare not to worry about it.

Helplessly, Xiufu was too lazy to talk, and she didn't dare to ask. She just silently thought about what to do if Concubine Yun Shu really made things difficult for herself as Xie said after entering the palace.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to enter the palace.
