www.lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the Miracle Doctor’s Daughter!
According to the rules of the Dashun Dynasty, on the first day of every new year, officials of the fourth rank and above in Beijing must bring their families into the palace to pay New Year's gifts to the emperor and queen. The ministers have an audience with the emperor, and the female relatives have an audience with the queen. And if there are legitimate sons under the age of eight in the family, they can also be brought into the palace to meet the Queen with the female family members.
Entering the palace means giving gifts, especially during the Chinese New Year, and the gifts should not be too shabby. Of course, gifts are mainly brought to the emperor by men in the family as representatives. As for the queen, if she has the intention, she can give them. If she really can't come up with something suitable, it will not be rude not to give them. In short, it all depends on personal feelings.
He didn't say what kind of gift Feng Jinyuan had prepared, and the children didn't ask. The Feng family prepared another gift for the children, which was presented by their legitimate daughter Feng Yuheng on behalf of the queen.
That thing was a jade pillow. The quality of the jade was very outstanding. It was said that the old lady had kept it in the warehouse for many years and she was never willing to use it.
Feng Yuheng also prepared two gifts, one for the Queen and one for Concubine Yun. They were a complete set of cosmeceutical products from facial cleanser to serum to powder. This was purely a personal emotional act and had nothing to do with the Feng family. Naturally, there was no need for her to tell the Feng family.
Of course, there are many ladies and ladies who have the same idea as her. In addition to the big gifts for the masters, it is also necessary to prepare some small items such as golden melon seeds to reward the palace people. These are all necessary.
The Feng family also gave each of the girls a handful of golden melon seeds. After all, they are the family members of a high-ranking official, and they must not be shabby when they go out.
In this way, on the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Feng Jinyuan, her four daughters and one son got into the carriage and rushed to the palace.
Zi Rui and Feng Yuheng rode in the same carriage, which was the palace carriage given to Feng Yuheng by Emperor Tianwu. It was the first time for the child to ride in this car. Everything felt very new and he kept asking Huang Quan what this was and what that was.
Feng Yuheng looked at Zi Rui and said, "You really don't need a maid to serve you in the academy?" She originally sent a maid to follow her, but she was sent back after only a few days.
Zi Rui told her: "Even book boys are not allowed in the academy. Where can we take maids? The mountain chief said that we have to do everything ourselves and we can't expect anyone to help. Sister, don't worry, I have long been used to it. , and I think it’s good to do it myself.”
Hearing what Zi Rui said, Feng Yuheng felt relieved, and felt a little more affirmation and respect for the imperial master Ye Rong.
The group of people quickly arrived at the palace gate. Feng Jinyuan's carriage headed straight for the front door, but the female family members had to take a side door and enter the harem directly. But Feng Yuheng's carriage was stopped before it could even turn.
The person who blocked the carriage was an eunuch, whom Feng Yuheng had seen before. He was the one who served Emperor Tianwu with Na Zhangyuan. The coachman lifted the curtain and saw the **** bowing respectfully to her, and then said: "County Master, the emperor has an order to ask the young master of the Feng family to enter the palace with Feng Xiang. The emperor wants to meet his junior brother."
"Oh?" Feng Yuheng blinked, the emperor wants to see Zirui? Come to think of it, Emperor Tianwu has not officially received Ye Rong's disciple. "Okay, then please wait a moment, father-in-law. I will tell my brother a few words and let him go with you."
"Princess, please."
When the car curtain was lowered, Feng Yuheng took Zi Rui's hand and said to him seriously: "Meeting the emperor is no joke. You have to be careful in everything. Watch what others do when you salute. Only answer the Emperor's questions. Don't say too much when you don't ask. Do you understand?"
Zi Rui nodded: "Sister, don't worry, Zi Rui understands all this. After a while, Zi Rui followed the father-in-law to find his father. I believe that his father will never let Zi Rui make a mistake in front of the emperor. After all, this affects the entire The honor of the Feng family."
Feng Yuheng had to sigh that this child was indeed taught very well by Yunlu Academy. Not only was he sensible, but he also spoke clearly and logically, and he was also able to analyze the truth of things by himself, which made her very relieved.
So he said no more and personally sent Zi Rui to the eunuch. At this time, Feng Jinyuan also rushed here. When he saw Zi Rui, he immediately took his hand and said, "You will follow my father. You must not leave my father's side for even half a step. Do you understand?"
Zi Rui replied: "Father, don't worry, Zi Rui understands."
Feng Jinyuan then nodded towards Feng Yuheng, turned around and left with Zirui. The **** also saluted her and followed quickly.
In fact, Feng Yuheng could see Feng Jinyuan's love for this son, but this love was mixed with many impure things. That was not a father's love for his son, but he saw hope in this son and analyzed how much glory and future glory having Zirui as the legitimate son of the Feng family would bring to the Feng family. It is said that there are no fathers and sons in the palace, but they do not know that in the mansion outside, there is very little affection between fathers and sons and fathers and daughters. There are only dry calculations between people, so there is no talk of family ties.
She sat back on the carriage, the driver whipped his horse whip, and rushed straight to the Jingxuan Gate entering the harem.
The number of people who came to the palace on the first day of the Lunar New Year was unprecedented in the previous palace banquets. People waiting in line to enter the palace lined up for two miles from the palace entrance. Feng Yuheng's carriage stopped at the end of the row. Huang Quan opened the curtain and took a look, and couldn't help frowning: "It snowed a little this morning. It's very cold. How long can we wait to get in?" Ah!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a nanny walking forward with a smile, leaning towards the carriage, and asked: "But the Lord of Ji'an County is here?"
Feng Yuheng stood up and walked outside the carriage, smiling: "Exactly."
The nanny’s smile became even wider: “The County Lord’s carriage can go further inside, and you can get off at the second gate. The family members of the first-rank officials are already advanced, and you are still the County Lord. There’s no need to queue up.”
Fortunately, Feng Yuheng thought to herself, she really didn’t want to wait in such a long queue. So I thanked the nanny and led the three carriages behind to the second door.
The New Year's audience is actually just a formality. The Queen is sitting on the phoenix chair in the Zhengyang Hall. The hall is full of people, all kneeling to her, and auspicious words are coming out one after another. Listen to Getting it is also a joy.
The four sisters of the Feng family knelt in the crowd and followed everyone to say hello. The queen was far away and did not receive much attention when she arrived.
After this scene was over, the palace officials informed all ladies and ladies to move to the Jade Palace. The New Year's Palace Banquet will begin in two hours.
Feng Yuheng calculated that there were still two hours, four hours, enough for her to go to Yuehan Palace where Concubine Yun was. Of course, before that, I still have to meet the queen once and give the gift.
So while everyone was walking out, I found a female official accompanying the queen and asked her, "I wonder if I can see the queen?"
Although she didn't say it clearly, the female officer certainly knew in her heart that those who wanted to see the queen at this time were the ones who gave gifts in private. Apart from Feng Yuheng, there are many people lining up there. However, Feng Yuheng did not have to queue up. The female official nodded and smiled at her, and first said: "The county master is polite! I wish the county master a happy new year and everything you wish for."
Feng Yuheng smiled gratefully and handed over a small box, "For my aunt's good words." Inside the box were small packages of chocolates that she had packed when she was at home.
The female official had long heard that the Lord of Ji'an County always had some novelty things in his hands. Seeing that the rewards she used this time were not like ordinary tacky things, she felt even more happy. "County Lord, please come with me. The Queen has already expected that the County Lord will ask for an audience alone, and she told her early in the morning that there is no need to queue up."
As the female official entered the small hall at the back of the Zhengyang Hall, the queen was sitting on the main seat inside. There were many things beside her, presumably gifts from the ladies of various families.
After Feng Yuheng came in, he bowed first and then said: "Since Aheng returned to Beijing, I have been cared for by the Queen many times, and I am very grateful. It is a pity that Aheng could not find those precious and precious gifts sent by other ladies. It’s a rare item, but this little gift can’t catch the eye of the empress.” She said, raising the gift box in front of her, and grandma took it.
The queen was very warm to see her and said quickly: "Get up quickly, stop kneeling, and give me a seat."
"Thank you, empress." Feng Yuheng stood up, walked to the guest chair and sat down.
The queen was opening the gift box herself, with unconcealed anticipation on her face. It wasn't until she opened the gift box that she found a box full of cosmetics that made her a little stupid - "What is this?"
Feng Yuheng stood up, stepped forward, and explained to her personally: "This is a complete set of skin care products. Madam, please see, this bottle is called facial cleanser. It is the most comfortable and clean for washing your face. Please smell it , and it smells very good." She said as she opened the lid and let the queen smell it.
The queen was very surprised when she heard it, "Can this thing wash your face?"
Feng Yuheng nodded, then pointed to other things in the box and said: "This is the serum. After washing your face, gently apply a layer on the face. It is the most nourishing to the skin. This is the facial cream..." She said one by one. He explained it carefully to the queen, and from time to time he would try it on the back of her hand. The queen's initial surprise had turned into wonder, then ecstasy, and finally, obsession.
"Is this all from your Persian master?"
Feng Yuheng nodded, thought for a while, and then said: "There is also Aheng who developed it by herself according to the method taught by the master. Queen, please feel free to use it. If you think it is good, Aheng will give it to you after you use it. Send new ones."
As soon as she heard that there was still more left after using up, the queen immediately became happy and praised Feng Yuheng non-stop, wishing she could praise her so much that she deserves to be in heaven.
Everyone in the palace around me was also very envious. No wonder the Lord of Ji'an County was favored by everyone. There was indeed a reason! Compared with her gifts, the pearls, emeralds, agates and the like given by the ladies were so ordinary that they were almost impossible to look at.
The palace people are very good at guessing the master's intentions. Before the queen could give her orders, they had already started to move out all the customary gifts that they had collected before, leaving only Feng Yuheng's cosmetics set on the table. .
The queen couldn't put it down, and simply said: "Aheng, I know that you must go to see Concubine Yun when you enter the palace, so you should go quickly. I will go back to the dormitory first, and I will give you a reward later. Have someone send him back to your house. Go quickly! Go quickly!"
This was almost chasing people away, but Feng Yuheng didn't care. She knew what the queen meant, so she took a few steps back, saluted, and left respectfully.
Sure enough, as soon as she stepped out of the hall, the queen immediately stood up, picked up the box of cosmetics with her own hands, and walked away from the back hall. The palace people hurriedly followed and heard the queen say: "Quickly, go back and help me freshen up. I want to use this good thing to put on my makeup again!"
Feng Yuheng exited the Jade Back Hall, and as soon as he went out, Huang Quan greeted him. She pulled Huang Quan and walked forward quickly, and said at the same time: "Hurry, let's go to Yuehan Palace." As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something and stopped in her tracks.
