Chapter 14 Meeting Emperor Yuan
Today is the day when Marquis Wu'an goes out to war.
The entrance to the imperial palace with red walls and green tiles.
Yun Zhuan gave Wu'an Hou Yun Rui and Yun Huai a hug each: "Aunt, Second Uncle, swords have no eyes, you must be careful. Jiaojiao is still waiting for you to come back and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with me!"
The Mid-Autumn Festival reunion is the most indispensable.
"We must try our best to come back before the Mid-Autumn Festival." Yun Huai squatted down and hooked Yun Zhuan's little finger, "Hang on the hook for a hundred years, and don't change. If you change, uncle will be a little dog."
Yun Zhuan then forced a smile: "Okay, I believe Uncle and Grandfather."
"Go in quickly. Your uncle and I will watch you go in." Wu Anhou urged, "After entering the palace, pay your respects to His Majesty and the Empress first."
Yun Zhuan nodded vigorously: "Jiaojiao, I'll keep it in mind."
In name, she was sent to the palace to learn etiquette, but in reality, there were other arrangements.
In order to make His Majesty believe in the sincerity of the Yun family and the sincerity of the Wu'an Marquisate.
The moment Yun Zhuan turned around and walked towards the palace, tears instantly flowed down her cheeks.
You must be safe...
Please, stay safe...
Aung, uncle, Jiaojiao is waiting for you to come back!
Lu Zhe handed a handkerchief to Yun Zhe'an. Yun Zhe'an was a little surprised. After taking it, he held Lu Zhe's hand.
[The political situation is turbulent, and I am afraid someone is going to do something. Forget it. There will always be a way out when the car reaches the mountain. ]
[At least I can protect Yun Jiaojiao! Even if it's just to give the Yun family an explanation! ]
Yun Zhuan looked towards Lu Zhen quietly, but found that Lu Zhen was also staring at her.
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you." Yun Yu'an whispered and pinched the back of Lu Zhe's hand.
Lu Zhe said nothing, but his heart softened.
【good.】
Qinzheng Hall.
Lu Zhe had to report to the Imperial College first. Since he was a man, he was not allowed to enter the harem, so he was also exempted from the need to pay homage to the emperor and the empress.
Shang Defang was waiting for Yun Ju'an at the gate of Qinzheng Hall.
Of course he had heard of this young lady from the Yun family.
The previous incident with the Shen family caused a lot of uproar. Shang Defang is a smart man and would not jump to conclusions.
"But Miss Yun? Come over to our house?" Shang Defang bent down with a smile.
After Yun Zhuan was reborn, he would definitely not be as unruly, willful, and short-sighted as he was in his previous life.
Although she had a bad temper since childhood, she was a daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an after all, and she had learned the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
"Yun Ju'an has met with Eunuch Shang." Yun Ju'an performed the palace etiquette in a formal manner.
Shang Fangde was a little surprised, because he heard that the young lady of the Yun family was willful and hot-tempered, and never took others seriously.
Now when I see her again, I find that she is a well-educated, well-behaved and lovely little girl, who smells very fragrant...it's really rare!
Sure enough, rumors stop at the wise.
"Oh, what a polite little girl." Shang Fangde flicked his whisk and led Yun Ju'an in front.
The door is open.
Then there was a tall and majestic figure sitting behind a desk writing something. Seeing this, Yun Ju'an quickly lowered his head.
She was just a daughter of a military officer. She had neither imperial decree nor title. Naturally, she could not look the emperor in the face.
Shang Fangde knew that the little girl, who was meeting the emperor for the first time, did not know the etiquette, and was about to turn around to remind her, but he saw that the little girl had her head down and her body stood straight.
It seems that Marquis Wu'an has done a really good job of educating us!
"Your Majesty, Miss Yun Ju'an from the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion has arrived." Shang Fangde stepped aside.
The emperor raised his eyes and said, "Is this Yun Zhuan? Yun Qing's granddaughter?"
"I am Yun Ju'an, your humble servant, and I am honored to meet your Majesty. Long live the emperor." Yun Ju'an knelt down obediently and performed the great kowtow.
There wasn't even a single mistake.
The rumors were ridiculous indeed. She was clearly a very well-mannered lady.
"Well, your father is the general who guards my capital, right?" Emperor Yuan seemed to have a deep memory of the Marquis Wu'an Mansion.
He didn't even think that this place was incompatible with the girl in front of him.
How strange, how strange.
Yun Zhuan didn't even raise his head, but still kowtowed and replied: "That's right, my father is the garrison general Yun Ke."
"Hurry up and stand up. You are only eleven years old, right? It is rare for such a young child to know etiquette so well!" Emperor Yuan seemed to have some hidden meaning in his words. "What did Yun Qing teach you at home?"
After Yun Yuan thanked him, she stood up, still bowing her head, and said in a childish voice: "Your Majesty, I am now eleven years old, and August twelfth is my birthday. My father-in-law taught me to read and write on weekdays. When he left, he asked me to serve your majesty and the empress in the palace. Although I am a child, I must not overstep my authority and disobey your majesty and the empress."
He is only ten years old and his mother died young. I guess he just treats reading as a hobby on weekdays.
What can a child of this age understand?
How could he not know what kind of person Yun Rui is?
A life-long friendship!
Emperor Yuan suddenly felt a little annoyed with himself. Back then, Yun Rui supported him without hesitation, otherwise how could Yuan Shen be where he is today?
"Shang Fangde, you too, I forgot to give a seat to Jiaojiao, and you didn't remind me?" Emperor Yuan said pretending to be angry.
Shang Fangde slapped himself lightly and personally moved a stool behind Yun Ju'an: "How could it be possible! It's all because of my bad memory. It's all my fault!"
"You old eunuch!" Emperor Yuan seemed angry.
Yun Zhuan hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift of a seat."
Then he sat down obediently, and Emperor Yuan liked him more and more.
Then he asked what he liked to read, watch, and use. Emperor Yuan knew that although learning etiquette was just a cover, he still had to show it in a way that others could accept.
"In that case, then you can live in Youfeng Laiyi, a small palace next to the Guanju Palace where the Queen lives. It will also be convenient for you to study in the palace, so that Yunqing won't say that I have treated his granddaughter harshly!" Emperor Yuan smiled and instructed Shang Defang, "Have dinner with the Queen in Guanju Palace tonight."
Shang Fangde hurried down to pass on the order: "I have already asked someone to pack up the Fenglaiyi, and I will go to the Empress's palace to pass on the order."
"You are such a sly old fool!" Emperor Yuan waved his hand, "Take the little girl with you and tell those naughty boys to be more tolerant!"
Before leaving, Shang Fangde helped extinguish the calming incense in the Qinzheng Hall and replaced it with new orchid incense.
"Your Majesty, if you don't want to smell this calming incense, I'll change it to orchid incense for you. Your Majesty, please remember to balance work and rest!"
Sure enough, the habit has not changed from the previous life.
Yun Yu'an put his thoughts aside, bowed obediently and left.
After all, you have lived for two lifetimes, and you know what the nobles like to use and what they don't like to use. As long as you observe and guess more, you will never give others a handle.
The Empress has a son and a daughter, but they are not her biological children.
The boy was the fourth child of the deceased Concubine Jing, and his name was Yuanzhi.
The girl was the child of the earlier noble lady Liu, the sixth child, named Yuan Yao. She also had a biological brother named Yuan Zhen, the second child. When she grew up, she no longer lived in the palace. She would occasionally go to the palace to pay her respects to Emperor Yuan and Empress Yuan, and then see her sister.
Men follow the will of heaven, women follow jade.
Love you guys, muah. "礻" means "show", which means heaven is showing signs of good or bad luck. "Shi" is the manifestation of heaven's will. Words related to the results of sacrifices, such as good or bad luck, will have this radical. So men are written with the radical "天意" and women are written with the radical "斜玉". Hehe
