Chapter 3: A Look at the City
"Your Majesty, why are you so persistent? Now that the imperial decree has been issued, no matter what, you have to wear this red gauze."
The person who spoke was still the eldest mother Xin, and her impatience and contempt were slightly revealed in the words and tone.
After Madam Xin finished speaking, she waved her long, high-quality embroidered sleeves, and saw sixteen maidservants holding red gauze gowns kneeling in front of the table in Tianchen Palace's study, holding up the red gauze gowns with both hands. , raised above the head, and then, in a well-trained unison:
"Concubine Chen, please change your clothes."
Xuanyuan Ruochen was dressed in calm white clothes, and bent over the table slightly.The white fingers that were attached to the brush froze suddenly, and then began to practice calligraphy as if no one was there.
Bah, a lowly male concubine who may have fallen out of favor, why are you so arrogant!
Seeing Xuanyuan Ruochen's attitude, Nanny Xin was very displeased.With a wrinkled old face, Mammy Xin was about to use her self-created "way of governing people" to cure this male concubine. When she was about to take another step forward, a man standing next to Nanny Xin The slightly younger nanny gently tugged on her sleeve, shaking her head slightly as a gesture.
I saw the younger nanny stepping forward at first, bowing her head slightly, and then said very gently and kindly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Madam Ping, for being so bold as to speak a few words here."
Seeing that Xuanyuan Ruochen was still bowing his head and ignoring him, and was just serious about writing, Nanny Ping was not annoyed, and continued to say softly with a kind smile, "The matter that the emperor asked the empress to wear red clothes is not only the emperor Jinkou Yuyu's words. There is even an imperial decree to prove it. If the empress does not change, to put it more seriously, it is a violation of the imperial decree..."
Nanny Ping's tone was soft, and the speed of her speech gradually slowed down. When she said this, she stopped talking for some reason.Perhaps Xuanyuan Ruochen was also listening, but he stopped suddenly before he finished speaking, causing him to raise his head slightly and look coldly at the speaker.
And with this inadvertent glance, the red gauze clothes held by the sixteen maidservants fell directly into Xuanyuan Ruochen's sight.The seemingly calm lavender pupils couldn't help shrinking.
Nanny Ping lived in the deep palace for a long time, so she is naturally a sharp-eyed person.Even the subtle changes in Xuanyuan Ruochen's eyes could never escape her eyes.
Seeing Xuanyuan Ruochen's reaction, knowing that Concubine Chen had listened to her words, Nanny Ping then took the opportunity to say: "If you resist the decree and don't obey it, the consequences will not only be suffered by you alone. Not to mention Tianchen Dozens of maidservants and servants in the palace will suffer, and when Longyan is furious... I'm afraid that when the time comes..." Speaking of this, Ping Momo deliberately paused, "Even your mother... It is inevitable that we will suffer this disaster.”
……
The body was startled suddenly, and the finger that was holding the pen fell down. In just a moment, the black ink stained the white paper.
"Concubine Chen, please change your clothes."
When the room fell into silence, the first three old nuns and sixteen maidservants knelt on the ground, and they all let out another well-trained chorus.
This is an endless threat.
Irritated in my heart, I waved my slender hand, and the brush stained with thick ink fell to the ground.Before he knew it, a few drops of black ink splashed onto Xuanyuan Ruochen's white clothes.
It turned out that he really couldn't hide...
============
At this moment, the three nuns, 27 maidservants, and [-] servants standing in the courtyard of Tianchen Palace all stared at the man in red who came out of the hall, all stunned.
Looking up at the door of the palace, there is a tall and slender man in red.The corners of the slender eyes are slightly raised, and the lavender eyes are as clear as water.A pair of beautiful eyes, when looking at everyone, although there is a cold light, but it makes people feel that there is an indescribable temptation in such eyes.Thin lips are like water, pink and tender like flowers.
Dressed in a red gauze dress, her seductiveness is fully displayed.The blue silk is tied up high, and the red hair ribbon is fluttering in the wind.A head of black silk hair, after being tied up, cascaded down.
Behind the man in red, a few strands of hair can be seen faintly, following the red ribbon, dancing lightly.Although his face is like a beautiful jade, his expression is cold.Fair skin that can be broken with just a blow.Accept the sunshine, shining like jade.The color of the red gauze clothes made the man look even more magnificent and charming to all living beings.
When the leader, Xin Nai, saw this scene, there were only four words in her mind—disaster for the country and the people.
"Since Concubine Chen has changed into a red dress, next, the slaves and maidservants, the three mothers of the Jieyi Palace, will teach the concubine the etiquette of concubines."
With Madam Xin's sharp voice, everyone in the courtyard suddenly woke up from their daze.
"The servant (slave) resigns."
Sixteen maidservants and twenty-seven servants quickly bowed down and retreated.
==========
Inside the Tianchen Palace──
"In all things, words come first, and actions are easy. Madam, in the ceremony of concubines, slaves and maidservants will start to teach from this ceremony of all blessings today."
Nanny Xin stood in front of Xuanyuan Ruochen, and said in a flat tone.
"Before teaching, please let your maidservant tell you your concubine rank in the harem.
Niangniang, you are the concubine conferred by the emperor himself, and you are the third-rank concubine.In the harem, the queen is the top grade, but her position is currently vacant.
There should be three first-class concubines, but now there is only one concubine Rong Gui.There should be four concubines of the first rank and the second rank respectively, but there are still vacancies for both of them.
There should be four concubines from the second rank, but now there are only two concubines, Ming Concubine and Ying Concubine.There should also be four concubines of the third rank, but currently there are only two.One of them is you, Concubine Chen, and the other is Concubine Qing, who is the third rank with you.
The ones below are the concubines who are lower than your empress.The servant girl is afraid that you will not be able to remember the rest for a while, and let the servant girl explain the rest in detail in the future.
Today's teaching is mainly to teach your mother to live in peace and prosperity.If you learn it today, then tomorrow you will be walking like a concubine. "
From the beginning to the end, Mother Xin was the one who spoke.The other two nanny, Nanny Ping and Nanny Gui stood on both sides of the palace, so as to listen to Nanny Xin's instructions at any time.
Wearing red clothes, it was the first time in his life to wear clothes other than white, which made Xuanyuan Ruochen feel very uncomfortable.He was extremely displeased by the way everyone in Shicai Academy looked at him.Now, this Nanny Xin was rambling in front of him again, talking about some etiquette that only women should learn, the annoyance and irritability in Xuanyuan Ruochen's heart exploded again.
"Your Majesty, this servant has the courage to demonstrate this salute to you first."
Nanny Xin, who has long been accustomed to "teaching" concubines, saw Xuanyuan Ruochen's expression of impatience and sullenness, and felt a tinge of pleasure in her heart.
"The first step is to put your hands lightly on your left hip, then put your right foot on your back, then bend your knees slightly, then lower your head, and start to say 'Wanfu' softly. Because you are above my concubine Concubine of the emperor, so when paying respects to the emperor, you should say: 'The concubine pays respects to the emperor, the emperor is blessed with golden peace.'
Empress, empress concubine Chen, please stand up and learn from your servant first. "
Xuanyuan Ruochen was sitting on the chair in the main seat, and when she heard what Xin Nanny said, she clacked her fingers holding the teacup.The lavender star pupils are undoubtedly cold, and there is a hint of anger.Looking at the actions of Nanny Xin again, the corners of Xuanyuan Ruochen's mouth curled up slightly, and he smiled sarcastically.
This kind of tenderness and etiquette that women should learn, he Xuanyuan Ruochen is a dignified man, how can he be like this!Putting on the red clothes is already the limit of what he can bear, and now that he is being made like this, it is better to just give him a slash!He would rather die than obey such a humiliating thing!
The two nuns standing on the side also stepped forward and tried to persuade her with the "soft strategy".But Xuanyuan Ruochen was still sitting on the main seat, sneering with the corners of his lips curled up, and remained motionless.
Just when the three nuns tried to persuade Xuanyuan Ruochen together, but failed in the end, a thin and sharp voice came from the courtyard of Tianchen Palace, "The emperor is here──"
"Slaves (slaves) refer to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live."
