Pan was not joking.
That night, when Xu He entered the bridal chamber, a familiar woman stood beside the bed.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed, the woman shuddered and her body stiffened visibly.
"why you?"
It turned out that the woman in front of him was the maid in palace attire who had passed the message to Zhang Huiheng before meeting him at the British palace that day.
The woman squatted down and said in a trembling voice: "Consort, I am the princess's servant. My name is Rong'er. Today, I have come to bed with you according to the order of the Secretary of the Shang Palace Bureau!"
There were about a hundred female officials in the palace of the Wei Dynasty.
It belongs to the Liushang Bureau and Gong Zhengsi.
The six Shang Bureaus are Shang Gong, Shang Yi, Shang Fu, Shang Food, Shang Sleep, and Shang Gong!
Si said Gongzheng.
The management of female officials can be divided into two parts:
One is the regular duties of the palace.
The second is the duties in the royal etiquette system.
There is one person in the Shanggong Bureau, Shanggong, who is of the fifth rank. Under him are Siji, Siyan, Sibo and Siwei. All are in the sixth grade.
These four people correspond to Zhangji, Zhangyan, Zhangbo, and Zhangwei, which are the seventh rank.
Si Wei generally manages the boudoir in the palace and the locks and keys of each palace.
The candidates for the trial marriage of the princess are naturally within their scope of authority.
When Xu He heard this, he had already made up his mind and said: "Go back, I don't have to wait for you!"
Ronger was startled when he heard this: "Consort, this is the rule in the palace...!"
Xu He waved his hand and said: "The rule in the palace is to have a trial marriage before welcoming the bride. Since the princess and I are already married, the deal is done, so it would be unnecessary to try! Go back!"
After hearing this, Ronger wanted to say more, but Xu He had already opened the door and walked out.
At this moment, Ronger felt mixed feelings in her heart. She quickly put the white silk that had been laid on the bed into her sleeves and hurried out.
Xu He's home was originally a small courtyard with two entrances.
But because it was changed to a princess mansion, according to regulations, it was naturally not possible to enter it twice.
Therefore, several houses in an alley were purchased by the Ministry of Rites and opened up.
Now Xu He's house, no, the princess's mansion has become a mansion that stretches over half of the alley.
In the small courtyard to the east.
Zhang Huiheng felt even more uncomfortable when she saw the noisy voices of the guests in the main courtyard gradually disappearing.
"How long has Ronger been here?" Zhang Huiheng turned to look at his mother beside him.
My mother's surname is Wang, and she is from Dingzhou, Zhending Prefecture.
Zhang Huiheng entered the palace to serve the princess in her daily life since she was a child.
She originally had a son and a daughter outside the palace, but because her family was poor, she entered the palace to serve the nobles. It has been more than ten years now.
"Princess, please be patient. None of the other princesses have to go through this! Fortunately, Ronger is someone close to you, so I won't dare to have any evil thoughts!"
"If she is really shameless in the future, I will help you slap her mouth!"
Zhang Huiheng felt even more uncomfortable when he heard this.
Rou'er has also been her maid for many years, and she does things properly. She really didn't expect that the Shang Palace Bureau would point Rou'er to do such a thing.
No, maybe she wouldn't be happy if anyone did it.
not to mention!
"This guy Xu He will definitely smile when he sees Ronger!"
"Rong'er is cute and has a gentle temperament. He is quite similar to Sister Gu! He might like this!"
When he thought of Gu Hengbo, Zhang Huiheng felt aggrieved again!
"What a nuisance!"
"Grinder!"
Zhang Huiheng grabbed the handkerchief and scolded someone countless times.
At this moment, a woman outside suddenly said in surprise: "Rong'er, why are you back? Didn't I ask you to go to the consort?"
Zhang Huiheng was startled when he heard the movement.
Mrs. Wang on the side frowned and said, "What's going on with this guy? Is it so fast?"
At this moment, Lin'er suddenly opened the curtain and walked in.
She blushed and knelt on the ground as soon as she entered the door and said: "Princess, I, I went to serve the consort, but who knew she was kicked out!"
Zhang Huiheng's eyes lit up and he opened his mouth to speak.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang spoke first: "What's going on? Have you gone to bed?"
In the room where these words were spoken, Zhang Huiheng and Rong'er, two untouched girls, were blushing.
Ronger hesitated for a long time and then said: "The prince-in-law said that the trial marriage should be done before the wedding. Now that the princess has completed the ceremony with him, the deal is already done. There is no need to try it."
After hearing this, Zhang Huiheng felt so happy.
This is the first decent thing Xu He has said in such a long time!
For the sake of this sentence, I... No, I still have to be angry, it's too irritating.
We can't let him off easily!
The princess was happy in her heart, but Mrs. Wang was displeased and said: "How can the prince-in-law say such things? All etiquette and laws are determined by the palace, and it is not something that he will try if he doesn't want to!"
After saying that, she frowned and yelled: "Rong'er, you are also a rude person. He told you to leave and you left? Go back!"
When Ronger heard this, her face was as white as paper, and she looked at the palace lady with a pleading look!
But Mrs. Wang doesn't care about this: "The people sent by Si Wei of the Shang Palace Bureau are still waiting outside."
"Where's Bai Ling?"
Rong'er pitifully took out the white silk from her sleeve!
"Why did you show it to me? The palace wants this thing tomorrow! If you don't have it, I can't do the job. Are you, this girl, trying to harm me?"
Seeing that Mrs. Wang was getting more and more exaggerated, Zhang Huiheng frowned and said, "Mom, this prince-in-law seems to have a point!"
Mrs. Wang turned to look at Zhang Huiheng and said: "Princess, where does this come from? The rules in the palace are all for you, princess! What if the prince-in-law is tuberculosis..."
"What are you talking about?" Zhang Huiheng was not a princess raised in a deep palace and allowed to be manipulated by her mother-in-law.
She had long heard that her sister Zhang Huilin was bullied by the mothers-in-law in the palace. Unexpectedly, the mother-in-law in her palace also imitated those mothers-in-law and became arrogant in front of her after she left the palace.
What Zhang Huiheng didn't know was that Mrs. Wang was really not afraid of her as a princess after leaving the palace.
From now on, she will be in charge of all matters, big and small, in the princess's house and in the backyard.
Even if the princess wants to meet the consort, she must give her permission.
Otherwise, she would go back to the palace and spread some unfavorable words to the princess among the maids in the palace.
These female envoys will deliver the message to the queen.
Generally speaking, the queen would consider the royal family's face and scold the princess.
Seriously, if the emperor is alerted, the princess will be fine, but the consort will be in trouble.
Therefore, outside the palace, no matter whether the relationship between the princess and her husband is harmonious or not, if they want to live a good life, it depends on the eyes of the female envoy of the princess palace.
These, long before leaving the palace, someone had taught [experience]!
In fact, Mrs. Wang had no grudges with Xu He and Zhang Huiheng in the past and recently. She was even very good to Zhang Huiheng when she was in the palace.
Why do they have to give the two of them a blow as soon as they leave the palace?
to be honest.
It's all about money.
[Seniors] have already given her advice!
If the princess and the consort want to live a happy life, the consort must give money, and so must the princess.
There are cashiers on both sides. The child who has suffered for more than ten years will be able to live in a high house and have a group of slaves in a few years!
