prosperous life

The second day of the junior high school was the time for noble courtiers to order their wives to enter the palace to congratulate them, and it was also the time for concubines to meet their relatives. Rong Ningrui and Rong Ningjin had already packed up early in the morning.Rong Ningjin was already numb to attending Rong Ningjin in costumes that Zhou Jing would come to once a year, but she just lamented that she had to accompany her this year.

But looking at her father's dress, Rong Ningjin felt very balanced. Zhou Jing was wearing a purple dress with a pair of peacocks embroidered in front and back, and a lot of peonies scattered around. There were also some pearls on the peacocks and peonies. The cuffs and neckline are embroidered with patterns of auspicious clouds and also embellished with pearls. The outer layer of the garment is a layer of gauze of the same color, so it will not look too jeweled.

In Rong Ningjin's opinion, the headdress looks a bit like a Western crown, but it has more layers, and there are still a pair of golden peacocks hovering on both sides of the golden crown, with their tails hanging behind them, their bodies inlaid with red and sapphires, and their tails and wings hanging down The pearl tassels of the clothes go all the way to the waist, and the auspicious cloud gentleman's belt is tied around the waist, and there are a pair of gold silk pendant jade palace sash on the left and right sides.

Of course, these are the high-quality clothes given by the palace, the Rong family will not have the money to buy such domineering clothes and jewelry, they will definitely use the money to buy fields and land.

When seeing Zhou Jing wearing this outfit for the first time, Rong Ningjin thought too much. He thought whether his father was the kind of person who was under one person and above ten thousand, otherwise how could his daughter-in-law be able to wear such expensive clothes.Of course, after entering the palace, no one said that Rong Ningjin looked at such a noble family, and immediately mentioned Dasheng's wealth in mineral and natural resources in her heart.

It is estimated that I can get any minerals I want in the future, except for those that are not available in this era. My status should belong to the high-end crowd, so I can set up a jewelry store in the future. Modern people have always been tireless in their pursuit of beauty. If these design concepts are moved to this era of fine materials and rough workmanship, it will probably be very popular.

Of course, Rong Ningjin also thought about it, because the jewelry store is also run by the government. There are regulations on what kind of jewelry people use and what material. Buying things depends on their status. Even if an ordinary person has silver, no one will sell it to you. Rong Ningjin is not interested in working as a designer in a jewelry store for gold hairpin and jade ornaments.

Dasheng is really a harmonious society!

Rong Ningjin was wearing a light red brocade robe, which was embroidered with dark red tufted patterns, and the cuffs and neckline were also embroidered with cloud patterns. There was a gold silk palace sash around her waist and a piece of fine suet white jade. Kuai Yu was the birthday gift that Rong Anxian had found for him before.

Wearing a Ruyi golden crown inlaid with red treasures on her head, Rong Ningjin felt that she was wrapped in a big red envelope and looked at her brother with envy.Rong Ningrui was dressed the same as Rong Ningjin, but the clothes were azure, and the corresponding accessories also changed colors along with the clothes.

There were some other people's teams on the road, and Rong Anxian simply chatted with Feng Zhi, the prince of Marquis of Wu'an, about his experience in writing poems and painting. The two of them were originally in-laws, and they had similar interests, so they had a very happy chat.

Rong Ningrui rode behind and chatted with the two future uncles, and he was very calm, which made Jiang Shi and Feng Xian, the wife of the eldest son in the carriage, very satisfied.

Soon at the gate of the outer garden, the carriages of the inner family members and the outer courtiers separated to the corner courtyard on the right, Rong Ningrui naturally followed his father Rong Anxian.

After getting off the bus, each family stood up according to their grades, and naturally there were maids to serve them. Seeing Yuan Shi in the big house from a distance, his eyes flickered as if he wanted to say something, but it was not the occasion to speak.

Standing here, Rong Ningjin and Feng Yuan stand out from the crowd. Chaohe naturally has to be high-ranking. The children of the clan are still possible, but the children of courtiers are not allowed to enter the harem on weekdays. Zhou Jing and Jiang's twins can only be Feng's sons. Called into the palace of grace.

After a while, a soft sedan chair from Yishun came, and the soft sedan chair would send them to the gate of the inner garden palace, and they had to rely on their feet for the rest of the way. This was also a major reason why Rong Ningjin came to the palace with a headache.

After finally arriving at the Queen's Feifeng Palace, everyone listened to Xuan enter the palace to salute the Queen, and the Queen raised her hand to the side, and the palace supervisor sent a message, "Free from courtesy!".

Rong Ningjin, who had a loud voice, felt her ears buzzing.Afterwards, the empress began to lecture. It is said that the empress was not in good health, and her voice was weak when she heard the speech.

Feng Xian, brought by the Jiang family, was immediately tested for some knowledge. In fact, there are very few people here who have learned well, so everyone just listened to him. Feng Xian is a handsome young man. He was very happy to reward him with a small box of treasures.

After that, it was Zhou Jing's turn. After asking Zhou Jing a few words, he saw Rong Ningjin. Rong Ningjin was beautiful. When the child was about to draw a stick, she was still a little fleshy. Feng Xian's style The glass-style ones can be seen from a distance, while the Rong Ningjin doll-shaped ones can be touched twice, and the queen liked them after just one glance.

"This is the youngest son of Rongqing's family, right? Come here and let me have a look." As the queen said, the female officer around her went to lure Rong Ningjin forward.

It was only when Rong Ningjin got closer that she realized that the queen was actually half-reclining on the phoenix chair, and there was a faint smell of medicine between the smell of makeup and powder, which showed that her health was indeed not good.

The queen's phoenix clothes are much more gorgeous than those of the wives. In Dasheng, black is the most expensive. On the black-bottomed phoenix clothes, there are directly embroidered patterns of dragon and phoenix with red treasures, and there are many pearls, emeralds and red sapphires. One can imagine how heavy the dress is, and there are no less than eight layers of clothing inside this dress, and there is a luxurious phoenix crown. Rong Ningjin feels that the queen is also very pitiful.

Maybe it was because she felt Rong Ningjin's eyes were very honest, the queen saw Rong Ningjin coming, she took Rong Ningjin's hand and took a closer look, "You look really good, and this dress is also festive." Madam Rong is a person who knows how to dress up." Then she turned her head to the right-hand concubine in a purple dress and said, "Sister Zhou is so lucky, such a nephew makes me feel at ease when I see her from time to time."

That imperial concubine is Zhou Jing's cousin, Concubine Zhou Qing, "Your Majesty, you really know how to praise people. This is embarrassing to praise my concubine's nephew." praise.

Naturally, the queen would not call Rong Ningjin over for nothing, and rewarded him with a small box, so now Rong Ningjin stopped staring at Feng Xian's small box.

The other concubines naturally couldn't be stingy when they saw the empress giving these two rewards, so the private treasuries of Feng Xian and Rong Ningjin were a bit richer.

Today there are three high-ranking concubines in Feifeng Palace, one is Rong Ningjin's aunt, the other two are Concubine Sun Gong, and the other is Concubine Feng Jing, who is also Feng Xian's aunt. These two are also full of spring breeze today. Can't live.

It seems that being able to meet her natal family is something that makes the concubines very happy. Of course, it has something to do with their rank. On the days stipulated by the palace, such as the festivals and birthdays of concubines, we will see each other once a month, three to five How can Yue see her last time? If her natal family lives up to expectations and the emperor's grace, then the number of meetings will also increase.

As for the low-quality ones who go once a year according to the palace rules, parents can see them, brothers and sisters need special permission, and other relatives basically cannot see them.

Especially on this kind of day, only the concubine and above are eligible to attend, and no matter whether it is an official or a nobleman who comes to congratulate him, he must be above the fifth rank.

After a hearty and greasy lunch, of course Rong Ningjin, at the age of 11 and about to be one year older, received a special gift from the empress—egg custard!

Everyone thanked the queen again and it was time to leave the palace.Zhou Jing led Rong Ningjin to meet her husband and made an appointment to pick him up, and then took Rong Ningjin and Rong Ningrui to the Changchun Palace of Concubine Qing, and Rong Anxian took the elders first. The son went back to the mansion and came to pick up his wife and children when the time was almost up.

Concubine Qing didn't wait long before Zhou Jing came with Rong Ningjin. Concubine Qing took a look at the one she liked, "Does Brother Jin miss Tang Auntie? Are you happy recently? Has anyone bullied you?" After receiving a series of responses from Rong Ningjin, she quickly asked the maid to bring over a piece of ice silk brocade.

"This is a tribute at the end of this year. One horse for the Empress Dowager, one horse for the Holy One, and one horse for the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager gave the horse as a dowry to the tenth princess, and the horse was given to the second prince by the Holy One. The Empress Dowager gave her horse as a reward to me. , said to let me stay and see what to do, but the light yellow color is too tender. I thought it would be the most suitable for Brother Jin, and save it for summer to make two sets of clothes!" Concubine Qing said that she must Jing accepted.

"Okay, I'll just accept it, and I can spare some to make underwear for Rui Geer." Bianguan was hot in summer and cold in winter, and Zhou Jing felt that ice silk brocade was indeed cooler in summer than ordinary fabrics.

"How is Brother Rui's kung fu practice now? But are you going to join the army?" Concubine Qing is still very concerned about Rong Ningrui's future.

"Back to my aunt, my brother has already signed up for the name card. Our martial arts master said that his kung fu is very good, but he needs to practice. He went to Tianxiong Mansion in Qinzhou in May this year. My uncle gave me a lot of help to get a Tianxiong Mansion. Zuo Sige's position is very good." Rong Ningjin was also very concerned about her brother's affairs.

"It's because of his uncle's honor, otherwise how could he be a powerful person as soon as he enters. The official is a small one, but when ordinary noble children go, they are only loose officials." Zhou Jing added with a smile.

"That's good, that's good. When I see Brother Rui next time, I'm afraid I'll call him Little General Rong." Zhou Linglong felt that her elder brother was too far away, and her son was worried, so she could only rely on her second brother and cousin. , so whether it is emotional or rational, Concubine Qing is willing for them to make a difference, and is willing to put more thought into it.

"Is my sister doing well? How is Your Highness doing?" Zhou Jing took out the snacks from home and said, "Last time, my sister ate well and brought some over."

"You're interested." Concubine Qing directly opened it and took a piece of dim sum to eat, "It would be great if the fourth prince could be as motivated as Rui Geer, but it's a pity that he only cares about having fun every day and doesn't do business, and the officials treat him too much." His Majesty lost his temper with him because of his criticism, but you must have heard about it, it doesn't work at all." Concubine Qing wanted to beat her son up.

The emperor has five sons and twelve daughters. The first prince was born to a court lady. He opened the palace early and sent out, pointing to a clan daughter to marry. He has not been crowned king until now.

The second prince was born to Concubine Concubine Gong, who was married to Duke Cheng's mansion a long time ago, and was granted the title of King Le County.

The third prince was born by Concubine Jing, and he was a good person, but he was just muddling along all day long, looking a little out of tune, and he was named Prince Hejun.

Next is the fourth prince of Concubine Qing. To put it simply, it is a common problem of many men. The representative of the public lover, of course, will not really cross the line, but the fourth prince is always creating sex incidents, which is obvious to all.

As for the fifth prince, who is only over one year old this year, he is a twin born of Liu Meiren who has not entered the palace for a long time.

In general, Rong Ningjin thinks that these princes are quite distinctive.

Concubine Qing then asked Rong Ningjin how she was studying and whether Zhou Jing was living a peaceful life. She chanted some "interesting stories" in Beijing and recalled her previous days in Dengzhou, and gave Zhou Jing's family some gifts. The female officer around them sent them out of the palace.

Rong Anxian had been waiting there for a long time, and the family returned to the mansion, lamenting that they would finally not be so tired tomorrow.After dinner, they all hurried back to rest.

Rong Ningjin went back to her own yard, and placed the rewards she got on the bed. Looking at those treasures, she felt that they were extremely beautiful. Although the workmanship was not good, the quality was natural.Of course, after a day of exhaustion, she naturally had to rest early, and asked Bai Zhu to put away all her things. After washing, Rong Ningjin lay on the soft and warm quilt, which was really a pleasure.
