Chapter 114 The dream is broken
Early the next morning, Xiaoli tiptoed in.
"Miss? Miss, it's time to get up."
Tang Xiluo went to bed in the late night, how could she get up so early? She didn't even hear Xiaoli's voice.
Xiaoli felt a little bit sorry for the young lady. The young lady didn't go to bed until late last night. She was a sleepyhead on weekdays, and she stayed up all night.
But the young lady had instructed me yesterday to wake her up this morning and go to the general's mansion.
"Miss, please wake up. Didn't you say you were going to the general's mansion this morning?"
"..."
The room was quiet. Tang Xiluo was sleeping so soundly that he couldn't get up at this time.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps was heard in the yard outside the door, and Xiaomei ran in rashly.
"Sister Xiaoli, the emperor's decree has been passed to the general's mansion. The eldest lady will enter the palace tomorrow!"
Before Xiaoli could react, the person on the bed opened his eyes first and sat up suddenly.
"What did you say? The imperial edict came down so quickly?"
Xiao Mei nodded: "I was at the door just now and happened to hear the people talking about this matter outside."
Xiaoli quickly said, "Miss, you said yesterday that you were going to the General's Mansion this morning..."
Tang Xiluo got up quickly and called the two little girls to help her wash and put on makeup.
The three of them came to the general's mansion in a hurry.
There were only Tang Xijing and his daughter Tang Xirou in the hall, and neither of them spoke.
Tang Xijing didn't know how to tell his daughter. After all, he was incapable of protecting her...
Tang Xirou lowered her head. She thought her father was disappointed in her, so she didn't dare to speak.
Then I heard a busy sound in the yard.
"You two are sitting in there like Bodhisattvas?"
It was not until Tang Xiluo stepped into the main hall that she bowed slightly and said, "Daughter greets father."
Tang Xijing was already angry about her previous sentence, but before he could vent his anger, the next sentence completely confused him.
So polite? This doesn't seem like his daughter...
"Hurry up, why are you here so early in the morning?" There were only three of them in the hall, father and daughter, so there was nothing to worry about and they could talk.
Tang Xiluo did not answer him, but turned to look at Tang Xirou happily.
"Congratulations, sister. Congratulations, sister. You finally got what you wanted. I hope you will get more of what you want in the future."
Tang Xirou's eyes suddenly became red. She had never been that close to her sister since childhood. Now she finally had a chance to talk to her sister, but she had to enter the palace again.
This matter must have been asked by his sister to the prince for help, otherwise he really couldn't think of anyone who had such a great ability.
Tang Xiluo quickly came to his sister's side and secretly glanced at the contents of the imperial edict.
Very good, very detailed! The Gao family proposed to my sister yesterday, but the date marked in the imperial edict was a few days ago.
Therefore, there was no such thing as the emperor seizing his minister's wife. Instead, it was the ministers who were so bold as to covet the concubines in the palace.
However, considering that both parties were unaware of the matter, this matter was not a big deal and ignorance is not a crime. The imperial edict only came down today, and the Gao Mansion was not aware of it before, and the General's Mansion was also unaware of it.
Even if the Gao family knew the inside story, what would happen? Could he be greater than the emperor? How could the Gao family touch the emperor's majesty? They could only swallow their anger.
Although my sister's score was indeed a bit low, she was the only one who was "admitted" in advance.
The normal selection process is very complicated. The palace will send a nanny to the palace of the concubines one month in advance to strictly teach them the rules. They can only enter the palace for selection one month later. If they are not selected by the emperor, they will be sent back. Those from poor families will be kept and become maids.
As for her sister, there were not so many complicated procedures at all. She was directly granted a title by the imperial edict and could enter the harem the next day. It was a speedy one-stop service!
Tang Xijing sighed heavily: "You are so high-profile right after entering the palace. Rouer, you must be very careful!"
Tang Xirou nodded: "Don't worry, father. I know what's going on."
Tang Xiluo blinked and said, "Don't be afraid, sister. If you get bored in the palace, I'll go and play with you."
Tang Xijing rolled his eyes at her in annoyance: "You can't go to the palace just because you want to? Forget about the harem."
Rou'er's status does not meet the standard for her family to visit her in the palace. She must at least be the head of the palace.
Tang Xiluo curled her lips in disdain: "I am the princess, why can't I go in?"
Tang Xijing waved his hand with a headache, then ordered the servants to bring the dowry.
"Rou'er, this was originally the dowry that your mother and I prepared for you, but now..."
Once you enter the harem, unless you are the queen, there is no such thing as a formal marriage with a red dress for ten miles. Even a noble concubine is just a concubine.
"There are many people and things to do in the palace, and there are many things that require money to take care of. Don't be reluctant, just take these in."
After entering the palace, he could no longer protect her and could only be loyal to the previous dynasty and not overstep the boundaries.
Tang Xirou looked at the boxes, her eyes reddened: "Dad, your daughter will take one box in, and the rest will stay at home."
Tang Xijing interrupted immediately: "How can this be possible? One box is not enough!"
Tang Xirou looked a little embarrassed: "Daddy, palace rules cannot be violated!"
Tang Xijing then realized that he was too worried about his daughter and forgot such an important thing. He just wanted to take care of his little daughter more and more.
A concubine of the seventh rank can only bring one maid and one box with her, and cannot bring any more even if she wants to.
Tang Xijing's eyes became red again when he thought of this. As a father, he naturally hoped that his children could live in harmony with their spouses.
Even Tang Xiluo couldn't help but frown. This position was just as he had guessed, not very high, in fact it was ridiculously low.
After all, her father was the General Zhenyuan, and she had an older brother who continued to guard the border. Their family had made great military achievements.
Normally speaking, she should be a sixth-rank noble, but she had long guessed that it would be lower. Their family's situation was special and it would not be easy to attract too much attention. But even so, she guessed that she would be a sixth-rank talent.
I didn't expect that the one who was appointed as a concubine was Changzai!
Tang Xijing's eyes were moist. He had never thought of sending his daughter to the ruthless harem. He just wanted his children to be safe, happy and healthy.
However, due to some mistake, the eldest daughter had to enter the harem.
Tang Xiluo sighed: "Don't be so sad, my elder sister will leave the house tomorrow, so just be happy today and have a good time together."
After hearing this, Tang Xirou wiped the tears from her eyes and cheered up: "Dad, sister, you must take good care of yourselves and don't worry about me."
This was her own wishful thinking. She would bear all the consequences herself and would not drag down her father and sister.
In the backyard.
Tang Xiyue asked Lin with a ferocious face: "Why did you become Tang Xirou?! Didn't you go to find daddy yesterday?!" Now her beautiful dream was shattered.
Lin was also confused. The general had promised yesterday that it was Yue'er, but why did it become that little bitch this morning? !
