Shen Gong Ji

Chapter 10

It has been a month since I entered the palace, and I have never stepped out of Yongxiang during this period. In addition to learning the rules from Uncle Jin every day, I also made up for the history of this country, and finally I have a general understanding.

The Yan Kingdom used to be the most powerful country on this continent, with a vast land and abundant resources, but because of this, it became increasingly arrogant and arrogant, and because it seldom interacted with other countries, it became more and more conservative and favored civility over military affairs.But Qi State does not have such a long history as Yan State, and it is located in the northwest of Yan State, with barren land and a small country.However, this young country actively sent envoys to study with the Yuan Kingdom, Xia Kingdom and some other small countries, and established stable relations with many countries through trade in a short period of time, and became stronger and stronger.

Now that they are strong and prosperous, they are increasingly aware that their own country's poor resources are the biggest drawback that hinders their own development. In order to get more resources, they focus on the fat meat of Yan country.The Yan Kingdom has been closed to the outside world for many years, and its former glory has long been dimmed in the dust. It only has a magnificent reputation, but it has long been a strong outsider but a capable person in the middle.So Qi Guo deliberately showed weakness and sent envoys to pay tribute. Who would have thought that the envoys would be killed in the territory of Yan State? Although it was obvious that it was done by Qi Guo people themselves, it was an excellent excuse to send troops.The two countries fought for three years, and the territory of Yan Kingdom was repeatedly lost. Fortunately, many famous generals appeared later, Du Ruo's grandfather was one of them, and he defended Yan Kingdom firmly.As a result, the emperor of Qiguo didn't know what evil he had fallen into, and suddenly agreed to sign a peace contract, so the war between the two countries finally came to an end, and in exchange for more than ten years of peace, until the past two years, Qiguo didn't know why. The reason was that they suddenly started to invade the country of Yan. The two countries had been in a stalemate for a long time, and each had a loss of troops.In this context, the old emperor of Yan State died of illness, and the young emperor Zhao Yanshu came to the throne.

Of course, Yan Guo's history books are naturally impossible to write about his own country, let alone praise his enemies. These are all my guesses after reading the history books and adding my own YY.

Well... Another biggest reward from reading history books is that I finally know the name of the little emperor.

Goose book, swan goose pass the book?Who is this named person missing?

It's already summer, and there are moth flies chirping intermittently outside the window, and the window sash carved with bamboo leaves slightly opens a gap, facing the high wall covered with vines and the star-studded night sky on the top of the wall.The night wind was like a soul, pushing the paper window and shaking gently, spreading loneliness and mottled all over the place.

Is Xu time coming soon?I have to start tidying up. According to Uncle Jin, the canonized imperial decree has finally come down, and there will be a palace attendant to deliver the decree tonight.

Listening to the letter turned out to be a decree. I thought there was some particularly complicated ceremony.As a result, Uncle Jin laughed at me, saying that the grand ceremony would only be held if the Fourth Young Master and the Nine Guests and Hosts accepted the title.

It seems that I am at best a "madame".Really, I thought the little emperor would let me go through the back door and give me a higher rank...

I really have to wonder if the liveliness and innocence of a young man he showed outside the palace is really just pretending...

However, regardless of whether there is a ceremony or not, you must take a bath and put on formal clothes before receiving the imperial edict.I went early to Shui Rongzhai, where the young masters take a bath every day, and scrubbed myself from head to toe, then went back to the house and changed into formal dark clothes.This dress was prepared by several palace servants who came to measure my figure a few days ago. It has wide cuffs and is dark green in color. The neckline and hem are embroidered with exquisite lotus patterns. Standing up slightly, the back of the neck will be exposed after wearing it, and it always makes me feel chilly at the back of the neck... The belt is very wide, with a few green jades on it, and the long belt will hang in front of the winding skirt .

Although my hair was longer, it was still too short to be combed into a bun, so Uncle Jin asked me to wear a hat made of black gauze with an emerald embedded in it. The two streamers are probably the crowns that men here would wear on more formal occasions, right?

After wearing this, I took a picture in the unclear bronze mirror, and it really looks like an ancient person.

Seeing that the hour was approaching, I opened the door and went out, and saw that the young masters from other rooms had also come out, and they automatically lined up and walked towards the last row of Yongxiang.The daily court training is held in Huisong Pavilion there, and all the young masters have to listen to a Jieyu named Cai Xi there.It is said that he is the wife in charge of managing all the young masters, and he is the highest among the 26 wives.

The largest room in the middle of the last row of houses in Yongxiang is a two-story pavilion with neat black eaves tiles, colorful phoenix patterns on the railings, and two freshly painted vermilion pillars hanging A couplet: the green trees and rocks are sparse and dense in front of it, and the white cloud window is still curled up.On the plaque in the middle is written the words Esongge, in beautiful fonts, probably the words mentioned by some sissy here...

I walked in with all the young masters, and everyone was quiet, stepping across the threshold with the lightest steps without making a sound.

There are four Taishi chairs as soon as you enter the door, but the young masters are not allowed to sit on them. They turn to the two sides and line up in the empty hall behind the chairs.There are two grand master chairs directly in front, and a Chinese painting hangs on the wall, which depicts a pine tree growing on the edge of a cliff, in a precarious state.

Uncle Jin and Hong Yao were standing next to the two grand master chairs in front, one on the left and the other on the right.Not long after, six men wearing large-sleeved gauze shirts of different colors and patterns walked in. Each of them had tall black hair and gorgeous hair accessories to tidy up. Their faces were so masculine that they could not tell the difference between male and female. The appearance of the fan, strangely, does not look as disgusting as I imagined, except that she looks a bit like a woman, but she is actually quite beautiful...

Hey... why do I feel like I'm getting more and more bent...

The two people who walked in the front were Cai Xi and Hong Zhuo, the two Jieyu, the two beauties in the middle, and the two talents at the end.According to the knowledge I have learned in the past two days, the 26 wives are divided into three classes, the highest is Jieyu, the middle is the beauty, and the last is the talent.There are nine people in each class, but only the two with the most status can be in charge of Yu Shao.

The beauties and talented people sat down on the four grand master chairs, while the two Jieyu went straight to the front and sat down on the grand master chairs, and the palace attendant next to them immediately served tea.

At this time, I followed all the young masters and bowed slightly forward to salute according to the etiquette, "I have seen the two Jieyus, and I have seen the fourth lady."

At this time, Jieyu, who was sitting on the right and wearing a dark blue butterfly brocade robe, said, "Excuse me." This Jieyu is always smiling, and looks more gentle, he is Cai Xi.And Hong Zhuo on the left is said to be very strict. Anyone who violates the rules of Yu Shao will often be taught badly by him.

I've seen these six people every day for a month, but I doubt very much if they even know that I'm there... Even on the first day of my court training, they didn't give me a second glance as a newcomer.

Isn't it said that the harem fights openly and secretly?Why do people like Mao ignore me at all...

Does that mean I'm not competitive at first glance...

Being underestimated like this made me a little upset... But when I think about it carefully, why am I upset... I'm not really the little emperor's concubine...

I must have been role-playing for too long recently, leading to getting too deep into the drama...

"Today Yin Palace attendant is coming over, and he wants to confer a new colleague into the palace." Cai Xi said with a smile, his eyes suddenly turned and fell on my head standing at the end of the line, "Congratulations, Young Master Yang! .”

It seems that he is aware of my existence...

I hurriedly took a step to the right to get out of the line, clasped my fists and bowed in salute, "Xie Jieyu, I will do my best to dress up Your Majesty and all your wives."

Uncle Jin gave me this method of answering. After I finished speaking, I glanced at him, and he nodded at me indifferently.

But at the same time, I saw Hong Zhuo frowned slightly on his neatly trimmed eyebrows, and the displeasure flashed away.

...Why are you upset...Did I say something wrong...

After Cai Xi finished speaking, he stopped looking at me and began to lecture as usual.After about a moment, I suddenly heard a report from a palace attendant, saying that the palace attendant Yin had arrived.

Yin Gongshi's full name is Yin Duanqing, and he is an old palace servant who is dedicated to serving the little emperor. He can be regarded as the head of this huge harem, and it seems that even the fourth son is in awe of him.

Sure enough, in an instant, all the ladies stood up and lowered their heads.The young masters also slightly bent their backs, and the entire Huisong Pavilion was completely silent.

I suddenly became nervous, and even my palms were sweating...

Although I have practiced the action of receiving orders countless times with Uncle Jin, I am still afraid of doing something wrong and offending the boss.After all, he is the only person who can directly contact the little emperor. If I want to meet the little emperor, I must not leave a bad impression on him.

At this time, three figures entered from the outside, all wearing the clothes of palace servants.The leader was wearing a straight dress with a purple skirt. His face, about fifty years old, showed signs of being sculpted by the years, but his outstanding temperament still made him look noble and calm.He solemnly holds a roll of bright yellow brocade in his right hand, and a folding fan similar to red medicine with long purple tassels hanging down in the other hand. He walks forward without haste, his eyes are also looking straight ahead, It seemed that nothing in the world could enter his eyes.

This is the person who holds one of the great powers in the harem... It really looks different from the palace servants I usually see...

With this aura, I would even believe that he is a prince...

Cai Xi, Hong Zhuo and others all saluted him, and all the young masters also said in unison, "I have seen Yin Gongshi."

He nodded slightly to everyone, and then suddenly said loudly, "Yang Juntian accepts the order—"

I took a deep breath to calm my mind, then stepped out of the line, walked to about five steps away from him with my head down, kneeled upright with my upper body upright, then opened my arms and let the wide sleeves swing to the sides. Flat, then bent down and kowtowed to the ground.

He seemed to slowly unfold the scroll of the imperial decree, and read in a cadenced voice, "By heaven's blessing, the emperor's decree said: The Wuxie family Yang's family, Juntian, is merciful, always righteous, and has a good heart. It is rare to see it in the midst of suffering, and it is specially designated as a talented person, given to live in Cuiwei Courtyard. You always cherish the original intention, respect the temperature inspection, and never miss the training. This—”
