"No, if we don't go to the capital, we will live in Huajiazhuang." Xiao Shishi snuggled beside her mother, pouting her mouth.

Mrs. Chen also said, "Thanks to the emperor's grace, the common women are used to being simple and simple in the countryside and quiet, and I am not allowed to return to Beijing."

The old eunuch looked embarrassed: "Madam Chen, this is the emperor's imperial edict. If the imperial edict is just right, who dares to resist the edict? Madam, don't make it difficult for me. I know that my wife can't bear to leave her here. But I can guarantee that all the utensils that my wife can move to the capital. Please forgive me."

This eunuch is right. Emperor Chongzhen’s imperial edict, let alone Mrs. Chen. Even if he is a relative of the royal family, who dares to resist the imperial edict, this is a death sentence of beheading.

Mrs. Chen naturally knew this truth. She just asked tentatively. After hearing the eunuch say this, she nodded helplessly: "The civilian woman thanks Your Majesty for her grace."

Xiao Shishi is very sensible and knows that nothing can be saved. So she pointed to the pig boss in the pigpen and said, "Then can you take it away?"

The Shen family was emptied, and the emperor ordered Mrs. Chen's family to move to the capital. As a result, the Shen family's furniture and daily necessities were brought into the car by the palace guards.

No one knows the emperor's intentions, but some people are already wondering if it is the prince's intention. It is the prince who asked the emperor to issue an order and the Shen family moved to the capital.

Only Mrs. Chen knew it was unlikely. The prince always respected Xiao Shishi's choice. Since Xiao Shishi didn't want to be in the capital, the prince didn't force it.

But now, a little civilian woman, she actually alarmed the emperor of the dynasty and asked the palace guards to help move. The Shen family was probably the first.

The pig boss was miserable and tied to the carriage by the five flowers. The eunuch passed the imperial eunuch never dreamed that he would have to bring a pig after coming to Huajiazhuang.

Since they were bringing a pig, they did not prepare a cage. They could only tie the pig boss up in a big way, tied it up with hemp rope and threw it into the car.

The pig boss's pig life has never suffered such destruction, so he screamed all the way. Does its delicacies and wild vegetables have no choice but to say that its little owner will slaughter himself and eat meat. If the pig boss has this idea.

The convoy was very long. In order to help the Shen family move, the palace guards started a big battle. The vast team entered the capital.

In the bustling capital, under the guidance of the guards, the group finally stopped at the door of a luxurious mansion.

"Chen Mansion." Xiao Shishi raised her head and looked at the spectacular door of the mansion, two large gilded characters.

Mrs. Chen's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this is the mansion given to the Shen family by the emperor? Such a large house is enough to support the royal relatives in Shangjing.

The old eunuch got off the carriage and hurried over to salute: "Madam, you're here to your home."

The mansion gate opened, and the servants and maids in the row salute one after another: "Welcome to the wife and the eldest lady."

The old eunuch led Mrs. Chen and his daughter, who were shocked, into the mansion. The old eunuch introduced: "These are servants that the Empress is the one whom the Lady is matched with, and they are exclusively for the Lady to order. The Empress also said that if the Lady has any needs, she can only use it with the old slave."

Mrs. Chen was shocked and wondered: "What, why does the Empress know about this?"

The old eunuch's smile was a little weird: "My wife has a good rest. Someone will come tomorrow. I will take my leave first."

So far, Mrs. Chen has been kept in the dark. She doesn't know what happened, why the emperor and the queen are so kind to their family.

She wanted to ask clearly, but this dead eunuch was just keeping a secret and refused to tell the reason. Before Mrs. Chen could ask in detail, she had already said goodbye.

Mrs. Chen was a little surprised and confused. Since she came, she should be at ease. Since the other party was unwilling to say anything, she could only take one step.

The mansion is really luxurious, which is something that Xiao Shishi has never experienced even though she has grown up. The soft silk quilt is so comfortable, and so many servants in the mansion are respectful to him.

Even the pig boss's grade was instantly improved, and a place was left in the backyard as the pig boss's pig's nest. The pig boss no longer makes a living by eating wild vegetables, but it is more about pig food such as sweet potatoes, taro, and corn. For the pig boss, this is simply a paradise.

Not for Xiao Shishi, she doesn't like it. Although it is extremely luxurious, there is no freedom everywhere. Unlike in Huajiazhuang, she can be free.

Mrs. Chen didn't sleep all night until early the next morning. Someone came to the palace again.

This time, there were a few young palace maids coming to the palace. Xiao Shishi was a little panicked, and the palace maid saw her nervousness: "Sister, don't be afraid, we will ask my sister to enter the palace according to the imperial edict of the Queen."

Mrs. Chen felt a little relieved. It seemed that it was related to the prince. The queen summoned her. Without the prince's intention, how could the queen think of her daughter?

Xiao Shishi was still very nervous, and Mrs. Chen comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, you must be polite after entering the palace."

Xiao Shishi looked at her mother innocently: "Mom, what kind of etiquette is it?"

In fact, Mrs. Chen didn't know much about the palace rules: "When you see your master, just kneel down."

Xiao Shishi said "Oh" with a slight understanding: "I understand."

However, after entering the palace, Xiao Shishi realized that something was wrong. The palace maids did not take her to see the queen, but took her to Shangyi Bureau.

The Sixth Bureau of Female Officials, the name of the official system, is a collective name of the Six Bureaus of Shanggong, Shangyi, Shangfu, Shang food, Shang sleep, and Shanggong in the Ming Dynasty palace. It is in charge of serving the emperor and concubines' daily lives.

Shanggong Bureau: in charge of the receipt and reception of documents of the six bureaus and masters the keys of each palace. It is equivalent to the general office in the palace.

Shangyi Bureau: in charge of the etiquette and daily life in the palace, and also in charge of books and archives, which is equivalent to the Ministry of Rites in the palace.

The Office of the People's Hospital: in charge of the affairs of the palace clothing, and also in charge of seals, talismans and bathing.

Shang Food Bureau: in charge of food-related affairs in the palace.

Shangdian Bureau: in charge of the emperor's sleep-related affairs, including bedding and cleaning, lighting, and car sedan chairs and gardens.

Shanggong Bureau: in charge of the production of palace maids and women, and also in charge of intrauterine gold, jade and jewelry, accounting statistics.

Gong Zhengsi: in charge of the affairs of picking up the palace and punishing people who violate the precepts. It is equivalent to the current palace discipline inspection and supervision department.

When he arrived at Shangyi Bureau, Shanggong took Xiao Shishi to take a shower and change his clothes.

Xiao Shishi refused: "I, I won't go."

Shang Gong looked at her and smiled: "If you want to meet the Empress, how can you dress up like this? Let's go take a shower and change your clothes first, and change into fresh clothes."

Xiao Shishi had no choice but to be led by the palace maid to take a bath. When she was taking a bath, she was even more frightened because there were palace maids serving her.
