Chapter 442: Three Pieces of Wood

"I don't care, whatever they want. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Shen Ning slowly got up.

Her black hair is like a cloud, only a pearl hairpin, and she is wearing a water blue Ruyi cloud smoke skirt, the color is elegant, only embroidered with silver silk threads on the collar and cuffs with orchid patterns, the style is simple and generous, and there seems to be a light smoke and mist floating between walks.

Su Jin found out that such a simple and elegant outfit on her body was not inferior to those ladies with heavy makeup.

Empress Dowager Zhou's spring banquet was held in the lakeside pavilion in the garden next to Shoukang Palace.

Shen Ning found from afar that the Empress Dowager Zhou was already here, and around her, there were three sixteen or seventeen-year-old beautiful girls sitting around.

If you don't pay attention, you think there are three more wooden stakes in colorful clothes.

She bowed her head slightly, hid the smile on the corner of her lips, walked into the Huxin Pavilion, and saluted the Empress Dowager Zhou according to the rules.

"Meet the Queen Mother. ”

Although the three girls all looked like they didn't squint, they had already looked at Shen Ning from her hair to the soles of her feet.

They all guessed that the Empress Dowager Zhou summoned them to the palace today, ostensibly to attend a banquet, but in fact, to test their talents, implying the intention of choosing a concubine for the emperor.

Although they heard that the emperor would not be out of order at this banquet, they still used all their skills to dress themselves up in a fancy way, hoping to get the favor of the Empress Dowager Zhou.

At this time, seeing Shen Ning's light and refined outfit, the three of them secretly regretted in their hearts that they were too brightly dressed.

"Princess Dingyuan, flat body, sit. ”

When Shen Ning didn't appear, Empress Dowager Zhou sat in the middle of the three ladies, smiling and gossiping with the three girls.

Although she was kind, the three girls were so nervous that they would either hesitate or tremble when they answered her.

And the incense on the three girls was even stronger, and even the natural floral fragrance in the garden covered it, making Empress Dowager Zhou's nose itch and want to sneeze.

She finally couldn't help but not lose her honor in front of the juniors, but her face had become less kind, and the three girls were even more worried in their hearts, not knowing which of her words was wrong and made the Queen Mother unhappy.

It wasn't until Shen Ning appeared that Empress Dowager Zhou suddenly felt that her eyes lit up, her clothes were simple and elegant, and she was dignified and decent, which was more in her eyes than the other three girls who were dressed like colorful phoenixes.

"Come, Ning'er, you are the granddaughter-in-law of the mourning family, sitting next to the mourning family, this is Xia Yuyan Xia girl from Xia Taishi's mansion, this is Wu Shangshu's daughter Wu Yue'er Wu girl, this is Liu Wanting Liu of Liu Yushi's family, you are of the same age, you can be more close. Empress Dowager Zhou smiled and introduced a few people.

"The three sisters are polite. Shen Ning greeted the three of them with a smile.

The three girls got up together and bowed to her: "Don't dare to be the princess and call it that, meet the princess." ”

Empress Dowager Zhou smiled and waved her hand: "Today, regardless of our seniority, you are all sisters according to age, so don't be polite." ”

The three maidens were still very reserved, and after sitting down, the eunuchs and palace maids began to bring wine, fruits, and all kinds of pastries.

Empress Dowager Zhou said a few jokes, which caused several people to laugh, and the originally slightly frozen atmosphere became lively.
