Chapter 208: Delivery of the Decree (II)
The official road in front of the palace of the king of Chu is repaired very spacious and flat, and the people can not be seen at all, this is a forbidden area, and there are only a team of forbidden troops wearing armor and holding spears and swords, and they are responsible for the vigilance of the palace.
Such forbidden troops, almost one after another, want to cross them and infiltrate the palace, there is almost no possibility.
A carriage, at the middle of the sun, from far and near, from far to near on the other side of the streets.
The cart was pulled by two pure white horses, and around this carriage, seven or eight cavalrymen who were also dressed in forbidden armies followed, and the people sitting in it were by no means ordinary people.
In the blink of an eye, the carriage and cavalry had arrived at the gate outside the imperial city.
"My lord, we have arrived at the gate of the city......," said one of the horsemen, who motioned to slow down, and the horsemen reined in the reins of their horses, and the man who spoke came to the window of the carriage and said respectfully.
At this moment the carriage stopped.
A group of forbidden troops, seeing them coming.
"Is it Zheng Xin inside?", seeing the style of the carriage. The accompanying colleagues of the forbidden army were thinking about what the commander had explained, so they asked.
Without waiting for the cavalry to speak, a woman's crisp and pleasant voice sounded in the carriage.
"It's the official, this is the token...... As he spoke, a Qianqianyu hand lifted the curtain of the car. Revealing the scene inside and the people sitting inside.
The patrol team took a quick glance inside, and found that in the carriage, there was indeed only one young woman dressed in the costume of a female official in the inner palace, and the people who protected her here were all acquaintances. Immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He took a few steps forward himself, and the amine passed the token inspection.
After checking, the identity was confirmed, and the team looked a little more respectful.
The female officials in the palace all have official status. On the grade. It is not unusual to be higher than them, not to be lower, and to always serve by the side of the king and queen.
The fate of these female officials in the future is not to be favored by the king. Stay as a concubine. Either he was released from the palace and married to the officials and nobles as his wife. Whether they stay or let go, their identities are much more noble than those of them.
"Please come in......" because she was a female officer. It belongs to the people in the palace, and when she enters the palace, she can take the carriage to the second checkpoint and get off.
In order to avoid too much contact with foreign ministers. It is also to take care of the woman's weak constitution.
The person who is responsible for driving the female palace when he goes out to do things is also the forbidden army in the palace, so there will not be too many taboos, so after confirming the identity, this group of forbidden troops made way for the carriage.
Only this carriage entered the city gate.
Although he entered the city gate, he encountered no less than five patrol teams along the way. At the second level, the carriage could no longer proceed.
Zheng Xin ordered the carriage to stop, got out of the carriage himself, and continued walking inside on foot.
After walking a long way, I stepped into the palace gate of the inner palace.
Along the way, many palace attendants saluted her, and this woman was a female official serving by the queen's side. The status is not low, which makes many people stutter openly and secretly.
From beginning to end, this female officer had a decent smile on her face, and others greeted her and nodded and smiled, and her calm posture made many people secretly sigh.
The heart said that this woman deserves to be one of the favored female officials in front of the queen, with a good temperament and generous demeanor, and a talented demeanor.
The news of her return also quickly reached Song Xinyou's ears.
"Zheng Yatou is back?" Song Xinyou, who was pruning the branches and leaves of one of her favorite plum trees, turned her head: , counting the time, she is almost coming back, she has arrived, let her come in to see the palace. ”,
"Yes, sis. The person next to him responded.
Song Xin casually continued to prune the branches, and did not say a word. It's actually a workout, not a toil.
After a while, "Zheng Xin had already walked to the palace where the queen was, and before she went up the steps, a female official who had befriended her greeted her.
"Ah Xin, is the matter done?", the other party walked up to her and asked in a low voice.
Being able to go out and do errands is a time to test your ability. If it is done properly, it will naturally increase some opinions, so there is a faint look of envy in the eyes of the other party.
Zheng Xin nodded and said, "It's done, Lord Qian handed over the decree to the king, and I was about to go to the mother to submit the decree......
"Niang Niang is waiting for you in the back garden, you can go quickly. In your free time, talk to me about things outside...... The female officer said.
"It's natural...... Zheng Xin nodded, went up the steps and entered the palace.
Knowing where the queen was, he came in and walked straight to the little garden.
In this palace, in addition to rooms after rooms, there will be several open-air places in the palace. Often, these tractors are used to plant flowers and trees for people to watch and play.
Song Xinyou likes plum trees, and in her palace, she planted a lot of plum trees.
Although it is not the season when the plum blossoms are in full bloom, you can stand under the tree and occasionally prune the branches and leaves of the tree, which is also a rare luck.
Song Xinyou pruned the branches and leaves with a calm expression, and the maids who served were waiting carefully, the queen didn't ask, and they didn't dare to say anything, just casually.
Although the queen has a soft temper and will not get angry easily, she is very disciplined, once the rules are broken, no one can save them, and it is an opportunity for them to come to the queen to serve, saying that the female official of the inner palace is still the easiest for the queen to be promoted here, and she is naturally cautious and does not dare to do anything wrong.
After a while, footsteps came from the end of the hallway.
"Niangniang, Zheng Xin asks to see ......" Then a palace man came over and said softly.
Song Xinyou's expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Let her in." ”
The man withdrew.
After a while, Zheng Xin walked over from the corridor and stepped into the small garden.
"The minister has seen the queen's mother. Come to the queen and fry it. Zheng Xin immediately bowed down. said.
According to the rules, she has an official body. Calling a minister rather than a slave.
Song Xinyou looked her up and down. said with a smile: "You have been tired all the way." But it's hard work, get up and talk quickly......"
"Xie Niangniang......" Zheng Xin dared to get up, but he stood respectfully in front of Song Xinyou, waiting for the other party to ask.
"Everything is done?", Song Xinyou pruned another branch and leaf, handed the silver scissors in his hand to the person next to him, and a maid came over and took the silver scissors. Someone else picked up the fragments of branches and leaves under the tree and put them in bamboo baskets.
"Hui Niangniang's words have been read out in the Shi family. It's just ......" Zheng Xin hesitated.
"Let's talk as we go...... Song Xinyou said lightly, turned around and went back to the room.
Song Xinyou walked towards the corridor, and Zheng Xinlianshi followed.
The chamberlain and the palace man followed behind, some distance from them, and the two of them walked slowly in the corridor with calm expressions, at this time, the sun was shining brightly, and the palace room was quiet and beautiful.
Zheng Xin was looking back on what he saw and heard in the Shi family: "....... A member of the Shi clan. It's hard to believe how bold you are. ””,
Hearing Zheng Xin tell him this, Song Xinyou smiled and didn't speak for a while.
Zheng Xin didn't know what the queen meant, and she didn't dare to speak anymore, just followed the queen and walked quietly.
Entering the side hall, Song Xinyou sat on the soft collapse, and the fragrant tea offered by the people in the palace gave Zheng Xin a cup.
Taking a sip, Song Xinyou said: "There is really no way to meet this kind of rural relative who doesn't understand the rules and laws. It's just some ignorant people, if our Wang family comes forward directly, it will not be good to give the general to the Shi family, and this palace feels that the Shi family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not completely useless, and let them make their own decisions is ......"
What the queen said was that the minister looked at Mrs. Shi, and she really had some bearing, and when she inquired later, this old lady Shi walked out of the distant branch of the Zhang family. Although it is not a descendant, it has some family demeanor, which is different from the women of small families. ”,
Song Xinyou smiled and glanced at her: "You girl, you are very good at talking......
How could she not hear that this was Zheng Xin indirectly flattering herself, and the Song family was a family that had been passed down for hundreds of years...... , Xinyou walked out of the family, and she is a descendant.
It's just that she has some things on her mind now, and she casually asked a few words about the Shi family, and then she didn't pay attention to it, after all, everything is given to the Shi family now. If you can't help yourself anymore, that's the only way.
Hearing Zheng Xin mention the family, Song Xinyou became a little lazy.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door.
"Niangniang, I just got the news of fried noodles, saying that the king sent someone to the Song family to summon the two members of the Song family!", after a chamberlain came in, he told the queen the news he had gotten.
After hearing this, Song Xinyou's expression moved, she slowly got up from the soft collapse and walked slowly in the hall.
"Why did the king suddenly summon his father and them? Could it be that something happened to the family?" Song Xinyou has always been very concerned about family affairs.
Of course, she understands that if she doesn't have the support of her family, she is afraid that her future position will not be guaranteed.
Even if it is loved by a talented husband, political matters, in many cases, are much more important than family affairs, and this is the case in Xungui's family.
It can't be that the authority of the relatives is too great, let alone that there is nothing at all.
Even if she doesn't think about herself, she has to think about her children. Without the support of the family, how can her child become the prince in the future?
Anyway, now she is satisfied, but the prince's matter makes her feel a little uneasy - Wang Hongyi has not yet appointed his son as the prince.
However, Song Xinyou knows how to measure. Although I care about my mother's family. But he never intervened in this matter.
And at every time I summoned my father and brother. Tell them to do small things, be low-key and cautious in everything, and don't be used as targets.
These attitudes can't actually hide Wang Hongyi, Wang Hongyi feels that she still has a bit of the demeanor of a long queen, and she is basically satisfied.
The Song brothers and her brother are both smart people, so they naturally know how to do it.
Therefore, although the Song family has been favored for many years, there are few things that bully men and women, and in business, they are even more kind and wealthy.
In this regard, Wang Hongyi is very satisfied.
However, because of this, the people of the Song family were not made officials, but only given wealth and nobility.
Why did the king suddenly summon the people of the Song family this time?(To be continued!~!)
