Chapter 532 Entering the Palace Again
When the carriage from the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion arrived at the palace gate, all kinds of luxurious carriages were already lined up outside the palace gate.
After the carriages pulled over, ladies and young ladies got out one by one.
Every young lady and lady who attended the palace banquet was dressed gorgeously and made up exquisitely.
Through the car window, Shen Rong saw many white-haired ladies wearing the imperial robes of a royal lady.
The carriage moved slowly forward. Shen Rong sat in the carriage and observed for a while. She found that most of the ladies wearing the first and second rank imperial robes were older, while the ladies wearing the fifth and sixth rank imperial robes were much younger.
Soon, the carriage that Shen Rong was riding in stopped.
Pingping jumped off the carriage first.
Shen Rong followed him and got off the carriage with the help of Chun Xing and her son.
If it were in the past, she would not be so fragile that she would need two people to help her get off the carriage. However, she was now wearing the imperial robe, which was thick and long, making it extremely inconvenient for her to move.
When Shen Rong got off the carriage wearing a first-rank imperial robe, she immediately attracted the attention of the ladies who were queuing to enter the palace.
A lady of the first rank, and such a young lady at that, looking to be no more than 20 years old, this is extremely rare in Dayong.
Everyone looked at Shen Rong with different eyes.
Since coming to Beijing, Shen Rong has not interacted with the nobles in the capital except for the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. She has also never participated in the banquets in the capital, so many people do not recognize Shen Rong.
But everyone recognized the first-rank imperial robe he was wearing.
In the capital, there are only a few people who can wear such clothes at such a young age.
Anyone who knows a little bit of information can probably guess who this young first-rank lady is.
"Whose family is that lady from? Why haven't I seen her before?"
No matter how well-mannered the ladies were, they couldn't help but whisper about it to the people around them.
"I have never seen that lady."
"I do know something about her. It seems to be the lady from the Marquis of Pingyang's mansion. I heard she came from the countryside..."
"Hiss~ This whole demeanor doesn't look like that! Could I have guessed wrong?"
After these words were spoken, the lady in the purple dress also became a little uncertain.
"I remember that in the whole capital, only the lady of Pingyang Marquis's Mansion was granted the title of First-Rank Lady at a young age. The ladies of other noble families, which one of them didn't wait until they were old enough to be granted the title based on the political achievements of their master?"
Speaking of this, the woman in purple felt a little unbalanced.
After hearing this, people nearby had different thoughts in their minds.
Others have to wait for seniority, but Marquis Pingyang has only inherited the title for a short time and has not performed many duties in the court, but his wife has also been conferred a first-rank title. This also positively shows that although the Marquis Pingyang's mansion is small in population, it has the emperor's favor.
However, everyone couldn’t understand how the Pingyang Marquisate, which had never been prominent before, could win the emperor’s favor?
At this time, those who are in the know will share the news they know with everyone.
"I heard that the marquis disappeared while suppressing bandits, so the emperor directly let the five-year-old son of Pingyang Marquis inherit the title. The marquis' wife was conferred the highest rank and received many rewards..." The person who said this had an envious tone.
Everyone had heard something about this matter, but since they didn't interact with each other much on a daily basis, they just forgot about it and didn't take it seriously. It was only when they saw people today that they paid more attention to it. But when they saw Shen Rong and her son heading in the direction of the queue to enter the palace, everyone shut up.
In fact, Shen Rong also noticed the subtle looks and silent discussions from the ladies in the queue.
However, she did not take it to heart. She was so young and wearing such a conspicuous imperial robe, so people were bound to talk about her.
People entering the palace had to go through layers of inspection. Shen Rong and her son waited in line for more than half an hour before they were able to enter the palace gate.
After the inspection, a palace maid took Shen Rong and her son to pay a visit to the Queen Mother.
When Shen Rong and the others arrived at the Empress Dowager's palace, many ladies had already arrived.
The hall was filled with everyone's congratulations and blessings, making it very lively.
Because of Shen Rong's high rank, she also has a seat in the palace.
Although Pingping is a boy, he is young and has no male elders to accompany him, so it is in accordance with the rules for him to come with Shen Rong to pay a visit to the Queen Mother.
Shen Rong was not a person who was good at speaking. After paying her respects to the Queen Mother and the Empress, she sat quietly aside, occasionally chatting with the people around her. She did not flatter the Queen Mother and the Empress like other ladies did.
In this hall, every one of them, no matter old or young, is good at networking and making friends with others. Is there any one who is not doing it for the future of the man and children in their family?
Shen Rong felt depressed again when she thought of Changsheng, from whom there was still no news.
Even though Shen Rong is of a high rank, since there are only old scholars, women and children in Pingyang Marquis' Mansion now, it saves others from trying to establish a relationship with her.
Shen Rong finally got some peace and quiet.
Changsheng did not come back this time. Pingping seemed to have grown up overnight and became much more stable than before.
He was sitting next to Shen Rong at this time, looking at everything around him with curiosity, but he never suggested going out to play.
In the hall, there were many people who brought their children. Among them, in addition to girls of marriageable age, there were also children aged seven or eight.
None of these children could stay still, and they had already gone out to play with the palace servants around them.
Shen Rong looked at her son, who was full of curiosity, and pointed at the palace maid beside her, "Pingping, how about letting this sister take you out to play for a while!"
Pingping shook her head and said seriously, "No, mother, I am already an adult. I want to stay here and protect mother."
Before Shen Rong could say anything, a charming lady sitting not far from her couldn't help laughing, "Your child is really sensible, just like a little old man!"
Shen Rong smiled at the lady and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, madam."
"My husband's surname is Wang, and he is the Minister of War. Whose family are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?" Mrs. Wang looked at Shen Rong without any abnormality in her eyes.
She was not a smooth talker, so she sat quietly aside like Shen Rong.
Those good people are now gathering around the Empress Dowager and the Queen to try to please them!
Shen Rong nodded, secretly surprised. She didn't expect that she would be sitting with the wife of the Minister of War, and she didn't expect that she would be approached by someone who was just like her and had no intention of making connections.
However, Shen Rong was only slightly surprised and then she became calm again.
The situation in the mansion did not require her to deliberately establish friendship with Mrs. Wang, she could just treat her normally.
Seeing that the other party seemed to be more interested in Pingping, Shen Rong did not say much, just nodded and pushed her son out. "The previous Pingyang Marquis was my husband, and this one is my son."
Mrs. Wang looked at Pingping and knew in her heart that the child in front of her who looked like a little adult was the newly crowned Marquis of Pingyang.
Logically speaking, the child is so young, and unless his father has made great achievements that will benefit his children, the emperor will make an exception and confer a title of nobility on the child.
But Changsheng's disappearance while suppressing bandits is obviously not an immortal achievement, so he naturally does not have the qualifications...
But the emperor allowed such a young child to inherit the title, and this lady who came from the countryside was also repeatedly promoted.
It seems that the Pingyang Marquis Mansion is not as dire as everyone seems to think. At the very least, they have a kind heart.
There were also smart people like Mrs. Wang present, women who were capable of maneuvering in the power arena on behalf of the men in their family. They would not fail to see this.
Therefore, when everyone saw Shen Rong chatting with Mrs. Wang, the Minister of War, the ladies sitting nearby would come over from time to time to say a few words, and the originally deserted corner gradually became lively.
