Ruyi was not proud, "Ruyi should practice diligently, thank you for the master's teachings."
After the Zen Master Yikong finished the drill, he asked, "Do you remember it?"
Ruyi nodded, "I remember it, but it requires practice."
Zen Master Yikong nodded and said, "You have an excellent memory, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. You should learn how to let go of some things and not remember everything. That will easily make you sad and miserable."
"Um."
Ruyi nodded, deeply touched.
Speaking of which, she still remembers clearly the things she had experienced, even those when she was very young.
In the past, when she was stuck in a dilemma at the Shen family, she would cry in her dreams at midnight.
Now, even if I can still remember it, I don’t show any emotion.
The past has lost its color.
In the evening, Ruyi left Guangwenguan and returned to the Xiao family.
The news came from the palace. Jing San leaned against the door and said, looking at her with a complicated look, "The Gu family is finished. They will be exiled in three days. I heard from His Highness that the emperor might let the girl go with him on this matter."
Ruyi was a little surprised, "Me?"
Although she told Shen Yuewan that she would go to see the Gu family off when they were exiled, she didn't expect that she was going there on orders.
Jing San said: "The specific imperial edict has not come down yet. I guess the emperor will tell you when he goes to the palace tomorrow. He may want to train you in all matters."
"Besides you, there is also the eldest princess."
As one wishes:"……"
Now she understood.
It had nothing to do with the grudge between her and the Gu family. The emperor simply wanted her and the eldest princess to see the specific process of confiscation of property and exile, and to experience it for themselves.
"That's fine."
Ruyi didn't ask any more questions.
Jing San nodded, "Miss, go to bed early at night. You have to go to the palace before dawn..."
That's what the morning court is like.
There are only two days of rest every month, and the rest of the time is spent in court. He goes to the palace before dawn, and if there is no important matter in the court, he can leave the court when the sun rises.
If something happens, I may not be able to come back for a whole day.
Most of the time, the entire morning was spent in the Golden Palace.
Ruyi was facing such a situation for the first time and was really nervous, because she was different from the other seal holders. The emperor specifically asked her to accompany Eunuch Yuan to the morning court.
Then everything that happens in the court will be visible at a glance.
Ruyi felt that she should really go to bed early, but when she lay in bed, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
In the end, there was no other choice but to practice swordplay.
Later in the night, Langya sent a letter in, "Miss, it's from the Priest's Hall."
Ruyi was startled and hurriedly took it and read it.
The letter was left by Li Xiangyi before she left. It talked about the situation in Yancheng, which would probably take ten days or half a month to resolve. It asked her to go to the Priest's Temple and said that she heard some noise downstairs of the Priest's Temple a few days ago, but did not have time to investigate.
Ruyi held the letter and pondered over his words, seeming to be thinking about something.
In the middle of winter, what would be going on under the priest's temple?
Pushing the door open and standing in the yard, Ruyi looked at the priest's temple on the distant mountain, her mind drifting away.
The Priest's Temple is on the cliff behind the imperial palace. Although it is not particularly high, it is still a mountain after all.
At the foot of the mountain is the backyard of the imperial palace, where the concubines live.
movement……
Ruyi suddenly thought of something and was so shocked that she couldn't fall asleep anymore.
The next morning, before daybreak, someone came from the palace.
It was Eunuch Yuan who came in person, holding a box in his hand. He placed it on the table as soon as he entered the room, "Princess Zhaoyang, these are the official uniforms of the Emperor's seal bearer. There are two sets in total. Try them on to see if they fit you."
"If it doesn't fit, I'll change it tomorrow."
Ruyi went forward and opened the box.
Inside was a set of light jade-colored round-collar official robes embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns. Although simple, it exuded an indescribable nobleness.
"I'll go change it!"
Ruyi's heart was filled with excitement.
It’s not that she doesn’t like ordinary girls’ clothes, but the symbolic meaning of this set of clothes is greater than the clothes themselves.
This is a sign that she has entered the court and holds power.
The color of the clothes was chosen with women's preferences in mind. It was a jade color with a slight orange-pink tint, very light, but not without color.
The flowing cloud pattern embroidered with silver thread and the slightly darker belt outline her figure.
When she came out, Eunuch Yuan nodded repeatedly, "She is elegant, decent, and heroic, just like a piece of beautiful jade!"
This is the feeling Shen Yu gives when she puts on this dress.
Even Xiao Pingxin, who was walking towards the door, smiled and said, "Before, I only heard that young men were as gentle as jade. After seeing you today, I realized that women can also be as delicate and gentle as jade."
The first female official of the current dynasty!
It's amazing.
Ruyi is still young, and the color of this dress seems to be specially chosen for her age. It suits her very well.
Eunuch Yuan smiled gently, "The material was chosen by the Imperial Concubine, and the style was personally ordered by the Emperor. It's fine as long as Your Highness likes it."
Because the princess was given the title, the title of Eunuch Yuan was also changed.
Upon hearing this, Ruyi couldn't help but feel grateful to the Emperor and Concubine Yinghe.
Even her father and brother didn't pay attention to what she wore.
When the wet nurse was alive, she was in charge.
After her wet nurse died, she didn't make new clothes for a whole year, and even the preparations for her dowry were done in a hurry.
Although it was such a small matter, the Emperor, Yinghe and Imperial Concubine took it to heart.
Ruyi felt that she should really keep going.
Only by living a brilliant life can she live up to the love of so many people.
"Thank you for troubling me today, father-in-law."
Ruyi thanked Eunuch Yuan and said, "I will go to the palace in a moment."
"Well, then the servant will leave first."
Eunuch Yuan nodded and left the Xiao family.
Xiao Pingxin comforted Ruyi, "Don't worry, come with me to the palace today. With the emperor watching over you, there's nothing to be afraid of."
Ruyi nodded, "Well, let's go too."
She took a deep breath, went out with Xiao Pingxin, got on the carriage and headed towards the Golden Palace.
The martial law in the city has not yet ended.
It was not yet completely light. Ruyi looked at the deserted streets outside and thought about the second prince being demoted and the third prince going to Yancheng.
By the time we arrived at the Golden Palace, many court officials had already arrived.
Ruyi had seen portraits of important figures in the capital before. Although the paintings were slightly different from the real people, they could barely match them.
Everyone looked at her with complicated expressions.
To be precise, there was hostility in most of the eyes, especially that of Cao Zhizhang, the "acting" Minister of War, who squinted his small eyes and looked at her sharply.
"It's true that Princess Zhaoyang is the lucky star of Ziwei, but the lucky star is just a celestial phenomenon. You should still be completely in the dark about what's going on in the court, right?"
He glanced at the Golden Palace in front of him and spoke directly, suppressing Ruyi first, "Students have studied hard, some for more than ten years, some for dozens of years, but you, who came from the backyard, are suppressing them. Do you think this is appropriate?"
To be precise, this is what most of the people present are thinking.
Although they did not hate noble ladies as much as Shen Cangyun did, their inherent sense of superiority still made them look down on women and feel that they had long hair but little knowledge.
Not presentable.
Before Ruyi even entered the Golden Palace, he encountered strong resistance, but the other party made very reasonable arguments and even the emperor could not force himself to take sides.
To get through this level, she needs to use her own strength!
