A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 120 The direct line is the respect, why should she? (two more)
The purpose of coming from the palace was to meet the person concerned face to face. Qi Huan just wanted to be a rich second generation who ate and waited to die, but he never thought that he would have the opportunity to directly contact people and things at the level of the empress.

In this environment where monarchy is supreme and imperial power is supreme, she is quite frightened while being confused.

As for Yang's daughter, who has been raised in a deep boudoir for more than ten years, she always thinks that she can save her life without getting sick...

It's not that the only girl from the direct descendants of Changning Hou's mansion never found the qualifications and opportunities to enter the palace before, but everyone's thoughts are not on this.

After hearing the news from the concierge's wife, Yang was also quite confused: "Where are you, please come in first?"

"The housekeeper has personally greeted the person to the hall." The concierge's mother-in-law was all smiles and happy, and she paused and said, "But it's not the palace officials who came to deliver the imperial invitation and the empress's edict. , is a nanny, looking at her pomp, she should at least be in front of the empress."

Yang's eyes moved slightly.

It's not like she hasn't been to a private banquet hosted by the queen before. As long as it is not a large-scale palace banquet such as the New Year's Eve or the Mid-Autumn Festival, the queen's banquet is usually delivered by the internal officials of her palace. Just send a copy of the list of those who will enter the palace to the Secretary for record.

But the capital is so big, even though it is a respectable and lucrative job to go out to the palace to pass the decree, it is hard work after all, so this job is usually done by the internal officials.

Now he sent a nanny to his home?
Yang has some associations in her mind, but it's not good to make wild guesses.

Turning around, seeing Qi Huan still standing there in a daze, she urged her: "You can't see customers with this outfit, so go back and tidy up and change into clothes."

Qi Huan had a rare stage fright, and confirmed: "Will mother accompany me at that time?"

She dare not play with imperial power.

That's a dangerous thing that could lose your head if you say one word improperly, and even bring the whole family into trouble. As an outsider who doesn't know the rules, she doesn't want to mingle with this kind of person at all.

Yang said: "Even if you want to go by yourself, I don't worry about it. Hurry up, it's been a long time, and people think we're going to take care of Joe."

Hearing this, Qi Huan made up his mind a bit, and took two personal maids back to Chunyuzhai to change clothes.

Here, Mrs. Yang thought about it, but she still felt that she must treat people from the palace with the utmost dignity, especially since the person who came here was not an internal official, she might be a nanny who was close to Empress Gu, so she sent someone to take the mother and daughter of the second room away. , and his two concubines called.

It is true that there is no intention of showing off in this, it is purely to highlight the Qi family's attitude towards this matter.

Qi Huan let Xingluo choose a dress with brighter colors suitable for a girl of her age. There was no time to recomb and arrange her hair, so she chose another set of hairpins to redecorate.

Yang led all the female family members to the hall together.

The nanny who was sitting there drinking tea was slightly fatter and richer. At first glance, she didn't look like a servant serving in the palace...

Qi Huan even felt that his style directly dumped his embarrassing Yu family a few blocks away, and he really felt like a dignified and imposing lady.

Mrs. Yang obviously knew her, and immediately after recognizing her, her expression became more serious: "Mother Jiao, why did you come in person to deliver the decree? This is a disgrace to our family and our daughter. "

Once Qi Huan was smeared about the interpersonal relationship in the palace, he became more and more worried when he heard the words...

Yang Qingyun got into trouble when she entered the palace a few days ago, she really didn't want to accept the queen's order.

The mother Jiao put down her teacup and got up, but she didn't think she was arrogant because she was the queen's side. Instead, she greeted Mrs. Yang according to the usual practice: "This old slave is just a servant next to the empress. He can't do any errands. Mrs. Shizi said so so that I dare not be a lady."

She looked to be about fifty years old, but her smile was not fake at all, but she was kind and kind from the inside out.

Yang responded cautiously, but she was not stage frightened, she continued to laugh and said, "It's not because I'm afraid of tiring your youngest."

"I'm not going to hide it from you. When I went to visit my relatives in the second half of last year, I also lost my mind when I was idle outside. After coming back for a while, I couldn't stay in the palace. I asked for this job on my own initiative. Madam has some errands, so she also came out to relax and relax." Mother Jiao seemed to be very talkative, but it was really hard to tell whether there was any truth or falsehood in these words.

After exchanging greetings with Mrs. Yang, she looked at the people behind Mrs. Yang, and said to Mrs. Cen, "Is this the second lady of the family? It's the old lady who alarmed everyone."

Qi Wenjing's position as the eldest son was granted by the first emperor himself. In contrast, the Yang family has a proper name and status in the royal family, and the Cen family is married to a direct son of the Qi family even though she is a sister-in-law. To outsiders, her status and status are completely different.

When facing her, Mother Jiao's address had already been changed.

Although she treats everyone equally in her attitude, it is clear at a glance whether she is superior or inferior.

Mrs. Cen will only be more cautious and respectful to her than Mrs. Yang, and she immediately put on a smile: "It should be, the elders are respected, it is a blessing for our family to come here, and we should bring the children here Greetings to you."

She intentionally wanted Qi Xin to show her face, but she didn't lose her sense of propriety and took the initiative to push Qi Xin out to see her.

Yang understood these words, and Mother Jiao naturally understood as well.

but--

She just pretended not to understand.

He just shifted his gaze to a few girls, and asked Yang: "Which one is the eldest daughter of the eldest son of Changning?"

Qi Huan has been lowering her hair and worrying, but this time, she is the most "regular" one since she entered the door, and she didn't even arouse her curiosity to take a look at the popular people around the empress.

In fact, from the time when the four of her sisters walked into the courtyard, just judging from their order, location and manner of dressing, Mother Jiao already knew it well.

Qi Huan's reaction was still quick——

Being called, she didn't dare to wait for Mrs. Yang to call her again, so she immediately stood up and walked two steps forward to bow down to the well-connected nanny in the hall: "My daughter Qi Huan, I have seen you, Madam, live a long and healthy life."

His eyes were still lowered, he only spoke without looking up.

Along the way, she thought about many things one after another, and had to think about them...

Empress Gu specially sent a nanny to pass the decree from her family. Could it be related to Gu Zhan?Could it be that she heard some rumors about herself and Gu Zhan?
If this is the case, she will be even more repelled from entering the palace.

Because of Queen Gu's status, generally speaking, it is impossible for her to have a good impression of a "frivolous" girl who has been rumored to have an affair with her own brother in private.

If it's just a blow to someone, that's okay, in case it's a grand banquet...

Can you come back alive tomorrow?
While she was talking, she stood upright, but her mind was wild, all entangled and twisted into twists and turns.

Mother Jiao just looked at her with a smile, she didn't show her family history to order her to look up, nor did she insinuate in words, she just smiled and said: "I heard that this girl used to be weaker, so she was hidden by Mrs. In the boudoir, I don’t often bring it out to meet people, it’s really buried this good looks.”

With just one look from her, the palace man standing next to her brought up the tray she was holding.

She personally took the above post and handed it over: "Tomorrow, there will be a banquet in the palace of the empress, and all the girls of your age will come. This post is for you. When the weather is good, go out and walk around."

Qi Huan knelt down with the corners of her skirt in her hands, raised her hands, and respectfully accepted the post: "Nurse is absurdly praised, and my servant thanked the empress for her kindness."

Mother Jiao smiled, and didn't talk to her any more.

Yang Shi stepped forward calmly, helped her to stand up, and Qi Huan took the post and stood back to the original position with lowered eyebrows.

The three of them, including Qi Xin, couldn't help looking sideways at the post in her hand, but——

Some people forbear it, doing it in a subtle way, while others directly write the four words of jealousy and hatred on their faces, and the fingers pinching the skirt will tear the fabric.

Mother Jiao didn't sit down in the hall, and after exchanging greetings with Yang, she got up and said, "Mrs. Changning Hou heard that she has been ill for a few days, and your family must be busy, so I will leave first, and I have to see you off." next one."

Mrs. Yang didn't pretend to keep guests, she just gave her a wink, and Lady Yun who was standing outside the door when they were about to go out presented a plain wooden box in her hand.

Yang smiled and said, "Here are two cans of spring tea that I got this year, and I'll give you a taste."

A person with a separate status like Jiao Momo, with a little foresight and style, would not take money too seriously.

Although Qi Huan didn't know her at all, but judging from Yang's actions, he knew that this nanny must have a hobby of drinking tea.

"I've always heard that Mrs. Shizi can pick things up, but that old slave will be disrespectful." Mother Jiao didn't refuse at all.

Everyone in the capital knew that the wife of the eldest son of the Qi family was a living God of Wealth and never had to compromise on things, so the things she gave out on such occasions must be the best of the best.

The little maid who followed the waiter immediately stepped forward to pick it up.

Yang Shi still took everyone out to see off the guests, and waited for her to get on the sedan chair and leave before entering the mansion and closing the door.

The girls, including Qi Huan, were not in a good mood, so no one spoke.

Mrs. Yang still thanked Mrs. Cen for making the scene. After all, this trip was to cause trouble for their mother and daughter because of her daughter, so Mrs. Cen naturally said politely that she should.

They walked together all the way, and when they returned to the backyard, everyone dispersed in a tacit understanding.

Yun Zhi saw that Qi Changge's expression was not good, so she naturally seized the opportunity to tease him from the sidelines, and she felt sore again.

In the end, Qi Changge got tired of listening to it, and completely pissed him off with the sentence "Who said I didn't come out of my aunt's stomach".

Qi Yunge went back to his room, swearing and smashing something, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't get angry, so he went to Fulinyuan to find Mrs. Yu, crying and complaining about the injustice of the world.

But regarding the issue of concubines, Yu Shi has no problem, especially this time it is the palace who is serving the dishes...

Qi Yunge just made things difficult for her and made things difficult for her, but in the end it made the old lady depressed, and scolded her in turn.

The central idea is: "If you have the ability, marry a good and powerful husband in the future, and earn this money back."

As for the second room Qi Xin, no matter how self-proclaimed she is at ordinary times, this time she couldn't hold back her grievances. Although she didn't cry with Mrs. Cen, after returning to the room, she closed the door and her eyes were red.

Zhu Sha naturally knew why, and hurriedly tried to help her calm down: "Miss, you are also the daughter of the family, and our master is more important to the court than the elder son of the eldest family. From now on... there will always be a chance in the future. Your."

Qi Xin sat in front of the makeup mirror, looked at himself in the mirror with red eyes, almost unable to control his ferocious expression, but sneered in an extremely sober way: "What's the use of a young lady? Unless my father can make a marquis and pay respects, Otherwise, even if he is now an official of the third rank, this kind of thing is not my fault. Why do you think of her as Qi Huan? The direct line is the respect, and she is just relying on the status of a direct line. In this Marquis Mansion In it, no matter how mediocre and incompetent the uncle is, no matter how unruly Qi Huan is, no matter how the aunt's background is, she will never be on the stage... The orthodoxy of our Qi family is their eldest son, and we will always be offshoots."

This world is so unfair!

Her brother, because of the abnormal performance in the palace examination, her grandfather, the old Hou Ye, became unhappy after the results were released. In the past two days, he has not had a good look at them as a whole second room.

It is false to say that her father is favored by the old man again.

Once the old man passed away, their family would even be kicked out immediately, and they would no longer be in the Hou's mansion.

For these years, Qi Xin has always regarded herself as a concubine's daughter. She doesn't look down on those concubines from the big house, and even always thinks that she is much better than the sickly Qi Huan...

In the past, Qi Huan was so ill that he was half dead and couldn't get out of the house. He had never encountered such a thing.

But now, this kind of thing only needs to happen once, and it immediately shatters the pride and self-esteem she had maintained in vain for many years, and she has to admit that there is no comparison between the so-called prostitutes and prostitutes.

Yes, this is just an opportunity to enter the palace for a banquet, and it doesn't hurt if you don't get it. After all, there are only twenty or thirty girls in the entire capital who can get this honor.

But what she is really afraid of at this time is that she dare not face it. Once their family leaves this Marquis Mansion one day, what she will face!

On Da Fang's side, Qi Huan was not happy either.

Yang led her back to Qixia Garden, and went straight to Chunyuzhai, rummaging through boxes and chests to personally choose the clothes for her to wear tomorrow.

After thinking about it, Qi Huan decided to collect more information to be prepared: "Mother, is that Jiao mother who is very close to the empress? Does she have any special intentions when she comes here to deliver the decree?"

Yang's subordinates paused for a moment before returning to normal immediately.

The matter of entering the palace tomorrow cannot be avoided. In this case, she will try not to cause psychological pressure and burden on Qi Huan, so she does not mention the part of her suspicion, and just said: "She is going to the palace with the Duke of Pingguo. Yes, she brought up the empress and... that Shizi Gu. It stands to reason that a person like her could be enshrined by the imperial court and go home to take care of her life, but she has been following the empress all these years , from Pingguo’s mansion to the palace.”

Qi Huan said again: "Then what kind of person is the Empress? Is she a good character? Is she a strong one, or..."

Originally, I wanted to say "I'm rotten behind my back", but I thought it was disrespectful, and it frightened Mrs. Yang, so I swallowed it back.

Yang was naturally also worried that her daughter would lose her sense of propriety when she entered the palace for the first time, so she tried to explain to her as much as possible: "Pingguo's mansion is from a family of martial arts, and the girls from his family are naturally quite general. This empress The Empress is His Majesty's successor, and there is a age gap between her and His Majesty. Although she has been in the palace for more than ten years, the relationship between the Empress and Empress has always been very good. Empress Empress...she manages the harem quite neatly. The emperor also gave birth to a crown prince for His Majesty, and her position is extremely stable. She is not that kind of harsh person, if you enter the palace tomorrow, as long as you follow the rules and don't stand out...it should be fine."

"Under normal circumstances, you won't be targeted, so..." Qi Huan smacked her lips, and decided to ask the question she was most worried about, "What if the empress thinks that someone secretly seduced her only direct brother and didn't learn well?"

Young: ...

Two mothers and daughters face each other.

Isn't this what Yang is afraid of?The Empress Gu she usually sees is dignified and magnanimous, full of the demeanor of the mother of the country.

But there is no chance to have a deep friendship, who knows what it will be like to do things in private?
When Yang Shi was poked at the pain point like this, she immediately lost all thoughts, and sat down with a dark face.

Qi Huan rubbed around the table, and took her hand again: "Actually, I think that even if the empress wanted to see me because of that matter about Gu Shizi, she probably didn't intend to do anything to me. If so He wanted to teach me a lesson, to tell me to retreat, to stop thinking about it, and to just tell me to go there alone. Didn’t it mean that there were twenty or thirty people who took the post this time? I think it’s the worst of them all. My plan is that she choose a wife for Gu Shizi who is far better than me in every aspect in front of me, and this matter will be over."

Yang Shi was worried about her so much that she didn't want to eat or sleep anymore, after listening to her analysis...

Think about it too.

After all, the queen is a queen, and Qi Huan and Gu Zhan didn't have any substantive ambiguous relationship. Even if she did hear some rumors, she wouldn't really do something to her daughter based on a little rumor, right?

Yang's complexion gradually eased a bit.

Qi Huan winked at her again, and finally made her laugh completely: "You still have the heart to mess with me here!"

Qi Huan didn't want to make trouble either, but she was nervous, and when she was nervous, she wanted to find something to do, so she could relax by teasing Yang Shi.

Yang was still very cautious about this, she chose clothes and jewelry for her, and taught her the etiquette and rules that might be needed when entering the palace for half a night, and finally slept directly in her daughter's room when she was exhausted.

The next day, Qi Huan, Yang Qingyun, and Qi Yuanming were all going to enter the palace, so they walked all the way together.

It's just that Yang Qingyun and the others wanted to enter the palace gate from the front, while Qi Huan went directly to the harem.

Qi Huan sent them off first, and then left by himself.

Yang Qingyun was also worried about her, so he rode over and knocked on her car window.

Qi Huan opened the curtain and poked his head out, only to see his worried face and said: "The harem should be more complicated and dangerous than the previous dynasty, this time my aunt can't accompany you, you must be careful alone, and strangers, don't trust me." , try to follow the crowd in action, avoid being alone, and... when you can't talk, talk less..."

Qi Huan: ...

Qi Huan suspected that his chattering was overshadowed by the last time he entered the palace, so he quickly interrupted him: "My mother has already told me to pay attention, I know, you go quickly, if you are later Can’t keep up with the flow.”

Yang Qingyun knew that he couldn't delay, and said again: "When you leave the palace, you wait for me outside the palace gate, and when I come out, I will pick you up and go home together."

Qi Huan agreed to him wholeheartedly, and he reluctantly rode away.

Yang's instructions to Qi Huan are actually similar to Yang Qingyun's. In particular, it is mentioned that on occasions such as this kind of banquet in the Queen's Palace, Fengming Palace will send someone to wait at the gate of the palace to receive her, and ask her to follow closely. After the person, don't leave the other person's sight for an inch.

Thinking about Yang's instructions, Qi Huan was about to put down the curtains and return to the car, but saw Qi Wenyan coming out from the palace gate, and came straight towards him.

Qi Huan could only tell Lao Jing to stop and wait for him to come over, "Third Uncle, are you going back to the Yamen in the city?"

Qi Wenyan was wearing an official uniform, this was the first time Qi Huan saw him wearing an official uniform.

The aura is fully open, and there is an amazing aura that is much beyond his age.

Qi Wenyan didn't reply to her, but reprimanded her in a cold voice: "Just take the car, don't look around carelessly."

Then he sat on the shaft of the car by himself, startled Lao Jing and shivered: "Third...Third master!"

"Go!" Qi Wenyan urged in a cold voice.

Lao Jing quickly collected his mind and drove the car to the other side of the road.

Qi Huan was puzzled, so he still secretly looked back from the window, and saw Qi Wenyan's entourage carrying his sedan chair behind him.

A group of people circled a quarter of the palace wall and went to another palace gate.

Qi Huan got out of the car, because it was the first time he came to this place, he couldn't help looking around to get familiar with the surrounding environment.

As a result, when he looked at it, he saw Gu Zhan leading his horse standing under a willow tree on the way they had just come over.

The distance was a bit far, Qi Huan couldn't see his face clearly, but he was facing this way, and she intuitively felt that he was waiting for her.
