Chapter 7 The same is the end of the world
Situ Ningbing went back to the main house to refresh, and changed into a navy blue wide-sleeved curved skirt lined with a moon-white dark flower cloud brocade pleated skirt, and a gold silk bead was inserted on both sides of the silk lily bun, and a picture of auspicious ruyi pattern mutton fat and white jade forbidden steps was hung on the waist, which was much grander than the ordinary homely dress.
"Miss, isn't it too plain?" Hongluan looked at her young lady in a plain dress, which looked good, but it didn't seem appropriate to dress so elegantly when she entered the palace.
Situ Ningbing looked in the mirror and thought about it, and suddenly ordered Jianpian to say, "Go! Find out another butterfly bead hairpin for me!"
Seeing that Pian was stunned when he heard this, he then pursed his lips and smiled: "Yes! The slave is going!" After a while, Mi Lian came over with a hairpin in the shape of a butterfly fluttering with pearls.
"Plug it in for me. Situ Ningbing pointed to his hair bun and said, "Be conspicuous!"
"Yes!" Seeing that Pian responded happily, he took the bead hairpin and compared it left and right for a long time, and finally inserted it into the bun on the right side of Situ Ningbing.
Situ Ningbing stroked the butterfly's flying wings and looked at himself in the mirror with satisfaction, "Well, that's great." ”
Except for a few maids present, they were all in the clouds, wasn't it just an ordinary bead hairpin? The beads on it were as small as rice grains, and you could buy one for thirty or forty yuan at a street stall, so how could you wear such a coarse thing into the palace?
"Miss..."Hongluan wanted to persuade again, but Situ Ningbing waved his hand and couldn't refute: "Let's go, don't tell my mother to wait for a long time." After that, he took Jianlian's wrist and went to the Tianxiang Pavilion, leaving a room of maids looking at each other.
"Why are you dressed so plainly?" As soon as she entered Mrs. Situ's main house, Situ Ningbing's dress was once again disgusted.
Looking at his mother Situ Ningbing, who frowned and looked at him, his face was disapproving, "It's just that I'm going to see Concubine Shu and it's not a serious court, so I don't need to move the crowd with Taixingshi? How can we say that we are also the first queen's mother's family?" Who is she going to the palace to "ask for sin" and dressing up to show off? But this truth naturally can't be said to her mother.
Mrs. Situ hated Concubine Shu very much because of the relationship between the former queen, and she was actually very reluctant to go when she heard about the summons, but now her daughter suddenly felt very reasonable when she said this. The queen is her own sister, when will it be a concubine's turn for a concubine to summon her mother's family? The more Madame Situ thought about it, the more she couldn't swallow this breath, so she pulled off the red gold eight-treasure crested hairpin from her bun and sat down in front of the dressing table again, and instructed the maid: "Go and get a regular dress, and change me into a few plain jewelry!"
"Mother, it's not too early to tell Concubine Shu to wait for a long time. Situ Ningbing saw his mother's sincere and provocative posture and hurriedly persuaded: "No matter how you say it, it's the prince's biological mother, it's almost enough, don't go too far." "She went to the palace to make revenge, but she couldn't pull her mother into the water.
Mrs. Situ thought about it and picked out a pair of green luan gold silk dotted emerald hairpins from the dressing box, replaced the red gold eight-treasure crested hairpin on the original bun, and removed the two inlaid jade hairpins inserted in the back, changed into a smock with dark patterns of azure after the rain, looked at it in front of the dressing mirror for a while, and saw that Fang Cai's dress was much more plain, and then she took the maid's hand and went out of the courtyard with her daughter.
The palace is not very far from Situ's mansion, and the carriage arrived after a while, Situ Ningbing helped Mrs. Situ get out of the carriage, and the two entered the harem under the guidance of the internal supervisor.
"Isn't it the summoning of Concubine Shu? This doesn't seem to be the way to the Chunhua Palace. Mrs. Situ saw that something was wrong, stopped her steps, and questioned the inner supervisor who was leading the way in front of her. The first queen mother is Mrs. Situ's aunt, when the queen mother was still there, she often entered the palace, although after her daughter's accident, she rarely took the initiative to enter the palace, but the road in this palace still remembers, and now this road can not reach the Chunhua Hall of the concubine!
"Back to Mrs., it was originally the lady concubine Niangniang who called it, and later the emperor knew about it, so he also wanted to see Miss Situ, so he ordered the slave to lead Mrs. Wude Hall to see the driver. "The little inner prisoner is not very old, but he is very clever, and he doesn't even blink an eye when he lies. Situ Ningbing commented very objectively: "Well, yes, if you can take it for your own use, you are also a talent." ”
However, Mrs. Situ is not so easy to fool, as the daughter of the Dugu clan raised by the third queen of a family, Mrs. Situ is more sensitive to politics than the noble lady next to her, at least she knows that the Wude Hall is the place where the emperor deals with "family affairs", if it is really just an ordinary summons, either in the Anren Hall or in the Chunhua Palace, how could she choose to be in the Wude Palace? sound, raised his eyes and saw a team of palace people hugging a young man in a wheelchair in a fancy costume walking towards him, and when he saw the young man's face clearly, Mrs. Situ was stunned for a while, only staring at the young man in a daze, unable to say a word.
Situ Ningbing showed a bright smile and greeted the visitor happily: "It's really a life where we don't meet, Li Gongzi is really a coincidence." "Hmph, tell you to laugh at fifty steps and take a hundred steps to retribution?
Li Jiayi looked at the gloating woman in front of her who seemed to have just come to the palace to watch the excitement, and her always elegant and calm face instantly froze, and then she smiled lightly: "I think it's more appropriate to say 'the same end of the world'." "It's better to fight together or to share difficulties.
"Li Gongzi said that is it, I just hope that you don't run away. Situ Ningbing shook the silk fan and squinted at Li Jiayi and used the agitation method, after all, she can also spend less effort when she has multiple allies.
Li Jiayi was not angry, but smiled: "Miss, don't worry, although I am not talented, I also understand the truth of cold lips and teeth." He "fell into the well" to the crown prince, but he felt that the prince of a country did not know the way of the world, the people were difficult, and the people were sinister, so he had the heart to mention him, but he didn't expect that the rotten wood of the people could not be carved, and the accounts came after the autumn, how did he do this kind of magnanimity and mind, and did he become the king of a country?
Both of them looked at each other and smiled tacitly with the thought of "even if you die", and Situ Ningbing raised the handkerchief fan in her hand and humbly said, "Please." ”
Li Jiayi glanced at her with a smile, bowed her head at Mrs. Situ again, said hello, and walked in front of Situ Ningbing unceremoniously. The inexplicable conversation between the two confused the people around them, and Mrs. Situ came back to her senses from her stunned and looked at her daughter suspiciously and asked in a low voice, "You and the prince of An Guo have known each other before?"
Situ Ningbing smiled disapprerovingly: "I can't say I know each other, but I met a few times on the way back to Chang'an." "Killing assassins together and playing the prince is also a friend of life and death?
Mrs. Situ glanced at her daughter deeply, and murmured faintly, "Is it really providence?"
Situ Ningbing frowned slightly when she heard it, but she didn't say anything, if her mother wanted to tell her sooner or later, she would say sooner or later that if she didn't want her to know, it would be in vain to ask, anyway, she had her own way to know!
When they arrived at the gate of the Wude Palace, the two inner supervisors who led the way owed to Li Jiayi and Situ Ningbing's mother and daughter, and said respectfully: "I'm tired of waiting here for a while, and the minions will go in and report it." ”
Li Jiayi glanced at Situ Ningbing without a trace, as if she wanted to ask her what she was going to do? Situ Ningbing replied to him with an innocent smile, and Li Jiayi suddenly nodded slightly. After the two exchanged silently, an inner eunuch who had just entered came out to deliver the decree: "The emperor has decreed that the prince of Anguo and Miss Situ will meet him." He turned to Mrs. Situ and said, "Please use tea in the hall." ”
Mrs. Situ was a little dissatisfied with being blocked out of the Wude Palace, but she also knew that this was the inner courtyard of the palace after all, and she was not allowed to enter without being summoned, so she had to look at her daughter worriedly. Situ Ningbing returned her a reassuring smile, and entered the inner hall with Li Jiayi.
