Early the next morning, just after breakfast, the female officials in the palace arrived. Zhulan was still looking forward to going to the palace. This is not the Forbidden City in the future, and it is not as majestic as the Forbidden City, but it is also an extremely luxurious place. The buildings are preserved.
When the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, a female official led the way, and Zhu Lan and her daughter just followed.
The female officer was silent all the way, and her footsteps were not fast, but the distance of each step was basically the same, which showed that the queen was a very disciplined person.
Zhulan estimated the distance. The palace is really big. It took almost two cups of tea. I just passed the garden. The garden in the palace has some precious flowers, and many palace people in the garden maintain it.
The harem of this dynasty is considered cold, there are not many concubines in total, and they are not very willing to move because of their age. The only people who can see in the garden are the gardeners.
After a while, I finally arrived at the main palace where the queen is located. The main palace is located in the center of the harem, on the same line as the palace where the emperor is located, and it is also the closest palace to the palace.
What Zhulan knew was not a secret, she knew without asking.
The female officer went in to report, Zhulan and her daughter were standing outside waiting, and soon another female officer came out. Judging from the age of the female officer, she was the one who was close to the queen.
The female official said, "Yang Gongren, please come in."
Zhulan was still a little nervous. She followed the female official into the palace, and when she saw the queen sitting, she hurriedly saluted, "The minister's wife, Mrs. Yang, I have seen the queen."
Xuehan followed and saluted, "The servant girl has seen the Empress."
The queen is very happy. She has waited for a long time to finally see the real person. Miss Zhou's rules are good, and her appearance is indeed better than the portrait. Well, the voice is also good, and she has long forgotten that she ate the vinegar of her future daughter-in-law yesterday. Now, he smiled and said, "No gift."
Zhulan got up and just glanced at the queen, who was a secret way to maintain the harem. The queen was about the same age as her. When I saw her today, the queen seemed to be five or six years younger than her. The beauty of the watch, coupled with the temperament, is really dazzling.
Xuehan stood up properly, but she didn't have the courage to take a quick glance at her mother, and the only one was relieved, the queen's tone was very kind.
The Empress did not shy away from looking at it. It was true that the Yang family did not come from a farmer. She had also met many officials and family members in farming, but none of them were as calm as Yang, without any timidity or inferiority, and they could teach an outstanding daughter. not simple.
The queen said, "Sit down, don't be prudent, Lord Zhou is the pillar of the country, the emperor and I have not mentioned Lord Zhou less often, and I have heard that Lord Zhou's family is also in Kyoto. Yesterday, the emperor rewarded Lord Zhou, and I know the family well. Everything is prosperous, and Lord Zhou can do errands for the imperial court without any worries, and this is all thanks to you, Mrs. Yang."
If Zhulan hadn't known Rong Chuan's identity, she would have believed the queen's words. She was worthy of being the queen. These words made her feel at ease and humbly said, "The ministers and wives do not dare to take credit, teach their children, and manage the backyard. That's what a courtier should do."
The Queen is very satisfied with the Yang family. The Yang family can teach their children well. The Zhou family can have today's development without the Yang family. The husband and wife are complementary to each other. Husband and wife as one.
The queen motioned the female official to bring the tray over, "If you have merit, you should be rewarded. These gems and jewelry will be rewarded to you."
Zhulan guessed that there would be a reward, but did not expect the Queen to be so generous, these two trays dazzled her eyes, "Thank you, Queen Mother."
The Queen looked at Zhou Xuehan out of the corner of the eye, Zhou Xuehan only glanced at the tray, her eyes were calm, there was no greed, the Queen was satisfied, this was her test for her future daughter-in-law.
Afterwards, the female official brought out another tray, and the queen said, "Bengong believes in the eyesight. This official likes Miss Zhou very much. This is a reward from this palace, and it would be good to keep it as a dowry in the future."
Bamboo Orchid, "..."
After thinking about it, I gave her a test just now. Fortunately, the three views of the girl she taught are very upright, and she will not be greedy for things that do not belong to her.
Xuehan didn't expect to have her reward, a formal thank you, "Thank you for the empress's love."
The queen nodded invisibly, the rules were good, and the queen wanted to laugh a little. Zhou Shuren really made the best use of the people who left the emperor at the beginning. The two trained wives became the people who taught the rules of the Zhou family. .
This can be considered a magical fate, lest she put her mother-in-law into Zhou's residence again. Now Miss Zhou's rules are very good.
The more the Queen thought about it, the more she liked Zhou Xuehan. This girl and her son are too fateful, maybe it's a match made in heaven, "Get up."
Xuehan got up obediently, although she still didn't dare to look at the queen, but listening to the joy in the queen's tone, she also relaxed a lot.
Zhulan's heart is also stable. In the future, her mother-in-law is very satisfied with Xuehan. It's good to be satisfied, but she is afraid of dissatisfaction. Even if Rong Chuan is around, Xuehan's life will not be easy. Now this worry can be put away.
In the Zhou residence, Zhou Shuren coaxed his unhappy son, "You can talk like a gourd. Your mother has been gone for an hour and a half. No matter how unhappy you are, your mother can't see it."
Changzhong's eyes widened, "Father has been to the palace, mother and sister have also been there, but I haven't been there."
Zhou Shuren, "Your third brother, no, your third brother has also been there."
Changzhong is not happy have been there. "
Zhou Shuren was delighted, "You think the palace is a good place."
Don't lie to me, Changzhong's father, "Father brought back a lot of good things from the palace. I heard from my sister that they are worth a lot of money. How could the palace not be a good place?"
Zhou Shuren thought for a while and said, "It can only show that you are still too young where opportunities and dangers coexist in the palace. If you really want to go, you have to work **** your own."
"How hard does my son have to work to get to the palace?"
Zhou Shuren nodded his son's nose, "First of all, you are better at reading than your third brother. Be in line with your youngest husband. You can also give your father a tanhuali test, and then your wish will be fulfilled."
Changzhong clenched his chubby hands and counted one by one, "It will take many years."
Anyway, his hands are not enough.
Zhou Shuren thought his son was too cute, so he kissed his fat son, "Let's go, Daddy will take you to study."
Changzhong, "..."
He had a good time in the capital recently. He hasn't read for a long time. Well, he forgot a lot of what the fourth brother taught!
In the Hanlin Academy, Shen Yang used a brush to draw on the paper. He was very unhappy. Yesterday he was just out of the limelight, and today he was taken away by Zhou Changlian. It is good to have a good father. Yesterday, Lord Zhou came out with a reward Palace, it was spread today.
When Shen Yang heard Young Master Lu speak, the movements of his hands stopped.
Master Lu said, "Chang Lian, is Lord Zhou coming to Beijing soon?"
