==Chapter 6 Palace Rules==
Qin Mansion, Beiyuan.
Under the window, Jiang Lanyue lowered her head to make Qin Wang's inner garment.
Stitch by stitch, she has never faked it in so many years.
After a moment, she put down her needle and thread, rubbed her eyes and said, "Half a month has passed in a flash, and there is no other movement on the other side of the eldest girl?"
"What's going on?" said the old nanny: "My old slave thought that the eldest girl had transferred Hezhu to the outer courtyard to guard against us, but we just had a few words with Hezhu in the kitchen. , then I realized that I had thought too much."
Jiang Lanyue said: "How do you say this?"
The old woman smiled and said: "Hezhu said that the eldest girl has neither practiced calligraphy nor learned the palace etiquette in the past two days. Instead, she treated the singer as her teacher and learned singing in the house. , sometimes crying, sometimes laughing, and sometimes a few obscene words. If the master knew about it, he would definitely become angry and sick."
Jiang Lanyue frowned and said, "Obscene words? Is she crazy?"
"Maybe she's just like her mother. She's really crazy." The old mama raised her hand and rubbed Jiang Lanyue's shoulders: "Madam, don't worry too much. I'll wait until the master sings the song this time." After Ji sends her away, her thoughts will naturally return to the second girl."
"I hope so."
Jiang Lanyue rubbed her heart.
For the past two days, she had been feeling panicky for no reason, as if something was going to happen.
She took a deep breath and whispered: "Send a message to Zhu Ze. As long as he can add one last flame, the Zhu family's debt will be settled."
Qin Wang came from a poor family. When he was a local official, he was promoted fairly quickly. But when he arrived in the capital, there were many powerful people from aristocratic families. If no one promoted him, he would probably have to sit on the throne for the rest of his life.
Although this draft is done according to orders, who can't help but hope that the girl will succeed? Jiang Lanyue didn't believe that Qin Wang had never thought of using this to make a career.
Even though there are all kinds of things wrong with Qin Huan, the word "direct descendant" is true, and the word "good skin" is also true.
She needs Zhu Ze to add the last fire to burn away Qin Wang's high hopes for Qin Juan.
Half an hour later, Qin Wang came back from duty,
As usual, Jiang Lanyue stood on tiptoe and took off Qin Wang's black gauze hat, then handed him a towel. Qin Wang took it, wiped his hands, and whispered: "I asked someone to find the palace. He is a minister, and he is usually in charge of classics and cases. He also works as an errand next to Lu Shangyi, so he must not talk about etiquette and rules. You can take Rong'er to the main hall later."
"Absolutely not." Jiang Lanyue said: "Rong'er is just a concubine, how can she get through such a thing?"
Qin Wang smiled and said, "You just have too many rules. If I tell you to take her, just go. Isn't Ronger also going to discuss marriage? It's always right to listen to the rules."
The sweet-scented osmanthus outside the window is blooming just right, one cluster after another. Looking from a distance, it seems like someone sprinkled a handful of gold among the green leaves.
After a while, Qin Juan and Qin Rong both came to the main hall.
Seeing that everyone was gathered, Chen Siji put down the tea cup in his hand.
She had heard a lot about the Qin family's affairs when she came.
After all, there is no serious eldest lady in the family, and it is rare for someone to rely on his aunt to head the family.
Chen Siji walked up to Qin Juan and Qin Rong and looked at the two girls in front of him carefully.
In the palace, there are rules for standing, rules for sitting, and even the way you look at people is the rules.
Chen Siji nodded.
The two girls in front of me are obviously qualified.
Although the two daughters of the Qin family both have excellent looks, their demeanor is completely different.
She has never seen the daughter of the Qin family, but with just one look, she can tell which one is the eldest daughter.
Her temples are like spring clouds, her eyes are like autumn waves, and her color is like morning glow reflecting the snow.
With such good looks at home, it’s no wonder Master Qin came to see her.
Qin Wang coughed lightly and said to Qin Juan and Qin Rong: "This is Chen Siji in the palace. Master Chen, if you two have any unclear points about etiquette and rules, you can consult Chen Siji today." ."
"Master Qin, you are too polite. I have only been in the inner court for two years. This court has strict rules and numerous etiquette. Even I dare not say that everything is clear."
Qin Wang nodded and agreed: "That's true."
Chen Siji said: "But as soon as I was entrusted by others, I will tell the two girls everything I have learned. But before that, I also ask Mr. Qin to bring two sets of pens, ink, paper and inkstones. ”
Pen, ink, paper and inkstone, it depends on the handwriting of the two people.
Jiang Lanyue looked happy.
Qin Rong's handwriting cannot be said to be amazing, but it is much better than Qin Juan's uneducated one.
After Qin Juan and Qin Rong sat down, Chen Siji slowly said: "Please two girls write down three generations of family history and what they are good at."
Qin Juan nodded and began to polish the ink.
Qin Wang couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Qin Chan's thin white wrists.
His eldest daughter, at first glance, is really beautiful and smart, but unfortunately, she can't open her mouth to speak, and she can't pick up a pen to write.
To be honest, Qin Wang didn't have much hope for this half-month appointment. She asked a singer to learn the rules. Isn't this a joke?
Qin Juan picked up the brush after grinding the ink and dipped it in the ink.
Qin Wang's heart tightened following her movements.
She is about to write.
She is about to write.
She started writing...
Qin Wang swallowed his saliva first, and then raised his hand to rub his face hard. His regret was already in his throat.
On the other side, Chen Siji looked at the two Qin girls with a smile.
It is said that beauty is more beautiful under the lamp, which is indeed true. No matter what Qin Juan can write in the end, this elegant demeanor and the neck that bullies Shuang Saixue are enough to make her eyes shine.
After half a moment, Qin Juan stopped writing and finished writing.
Chen Siji walked over, took the two pieces of paper, looked at them for a while, and said, "Both girls have good calligraphy."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Wang, Qin Rong and Jiang Lanyue frowned together.
Are they good?
How can everything be good?
Qin Wang took a step forward, stared, and looked at the writing on the rice paper over and over again.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought that the character Qin Juan was written by someone in advance.
Could it be that in the past half month, she has really been...
Thinking of this, Qin Wang glanced at Qin Juan's wrist.
Seeing that there were still red marks on her wrists, her eyes immediately became complicated.
Chen Siji said: "I am out of the palace today on errands. Time is tight, so I will talk about the important things."
"This general election is the first time that His Majesty has selected women from the private sector since he ascended the throne. The list submitted to the Ministry of Rites now exceeds 5,000. Half a month later, there will be the primary election. After this round of selection, Of the five thousand people, only two thousand were left. Then came the re-election and stay in the palace. In the end, only three hundred beautiful women were able to face the saint."
As soon as these words came out, the corners of Qin Chan's mouth twitched vaguely.
She knew that there would be many people running for the election this time, but she did not expect that there would be 5,000 beautiful girls waiting for him to choose.
Chen Siji continued: "...When you enter the Chuxiu Palace, you have to learn more rules. The harem is strictly hierarchical, with different rituals and staffs, and there are rules for spending and clothing. If you exceed During the re-examination, you must act carefully and carefully, and you must not make any mistakes." Because if you make a mistake, your life will be lost.
Chen Siji continued to talk for an hour. Qin Rong, a concubine, listened attentively, but Qin Juan felt sleepy again and again.
When it came to talking about the emperor's prince and heirs, Qin Jing's ears suddenly pricked up.
"...Except for the eldest princes who have been born one after another, the three concubines in the palace have no time to go out. Now the affairs of the sixth palace are all managed by the Queen Mother."
Qin Chan frowned slightly.
The three concubines have nothing to do?
That’s all for Concubines Xue and Liu. Three years later, Li Yuan, whom he always loved, has no heirs?
After a moment, Qin Juan smiled and said softly: "May I ask Si Ji, is the eldest prince raised by the Queen Mother?"
She thought that even if the question was a bit rash, Chen Siji would give her an answer.
It doesn’t matter whether Xiao Yun is raised at the Queen Mother’s place or at anyone’s place, as long as he is safe.
Unexpectedly, Chen Siji suddenly changed his expression and said, "I am sorry that I cannot answer this matter about the eldest prince. I also advise Miss Qin not to mention this to others today."
"You know what you're supposed to know when you're supposed to know it. If you're not supposed to know, don't ask."
Qin Juan showed regret for saying the wrong thing and said: "Thank you Si Ji for your guidance."
After the sun set in the west, Chen Siji left the Qin Mansion.
Qin Wang left Qin Juan in the main hall and asked, "Ah Juan, could it be that the singer taught you this word and today's rules?"
"Yes." Qin Juan nodded, "The fourth girl taught me well. She knew that her daughter didn't like to follow rules and only liked to listen to plays, so she sang a few palace plays for me. As she watched, she naturally Got it."
Qin Wang was surprised and said: "Can it still be like this?"
Qin Juan nodded and said: "Not only that, she also taught me how to play the piano and compose poetry."
Qin Wang's eyes drifted to Qin Chan's wrist, he coughed twice, and then said: "Have you applied medicine to your wrist?"
"It's okay. Compared with what the fourth girl has experienced, this is nothing." Qin Juan smiled and said: "Dad, do you know that the fourth girl spent three days in order to sing an opera and play a dying person? She doesn’t even eat, do you think she’s powerful?”
Qin Wang looked at Qin Juan's smile and was suddenly startled, his eyes sore inexplicably.
How many years.
He couldn't remember how many years he had not seen Qin Juan smile at him.
His daughter didn't seem to be as unbearable as he thought. Maybe... he had been using the wrong method.
She is so lively and cute, no different from when she was a child.
Qin Wang took a deep breath, forced a smile and said: "Awesome, this April girl is really amazing."
Qin Juan bit her lip and said, "Then dad won't let her go?"
Qin Wang shook his head and said, "Of course not."
Qin Juan shook her wrist and said casually: "Dad, why was Chen Siji so unusual when he mentioned the eldest prince today?"
Qin Wang turned around and said, "Why are you so curious about the eldest prince?"
"Well..." Qin Juan rolled her eyes, thought about it properly, and said: "At first, my daughter just asked casually, but when Si Ji asked me not to have **** with others, she became even more curious. ”
Qin Wang couldn't help laughing when he heard what she said, "Since I told you not to mention it, why do you still ask?"
Qin Juan’s tone was calm and matter-of-fact: “But dad is not someone else.”
Qin Wang shook his hands on his knees, and a warm current seemed to flow through his heart. After calming down his emotions, he said: "Our family came to Beijing not long ago, and I don't know much about the eldest prince. But in the past six months, Come on, I did hear someone mention it once. The man drank too much and said hesitantly that your Majesty was looking for a miracle doctor to treat the eldest prince, but when he sobered up, he refused to recognize a single word."
"I guess the eldest prince is ill." Speaking of this, Qin Wang said again: "Ah Juan, please do not mention this matter to others."
Qin Juan smiled and said: "I know."
After leaving the main hall, the smile on Qin Juan's lips disappeared, and she was in a trance. There was only one sentence left in her mind, "The eldest prince must be sick."
