Chapter 317: Reward
Guo Xiuzhi has never entered the palace, and he has been nervous since he entered the gate of Renshou Palace, grabbing the handkerchief in his hand, and peeking at it from time to time. She took two steps in a hurry, stepped on the corner of Guo Wenying's skirt, and although she didn't trip, she glanced at her fiercely when she stood up.
Guo Wenying didn't care about her, and only tried her best to take two steps forward, saving her from being unsteady and pounce on her again.
Today, the Queen Mother seems to be in a good mood and is directing people to plant tweed in the flower pond of Renshou Palace. I heard that the Guo family was coming, but they didn't enter the hall, they only washed their hands, and saw them in the pavilion in the garden.
Several people stepped forward to salute, and the Queen Mother smiled and beckoned them to get up.
This Empress Dowager Jiang is about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, and she still retains the gorgeous appearance of the former glory, like a beautiful woman in her twenties, with noble demeanor and excellent demeanor, giving people an image of a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world. She has never given birth to a child, nor has she been pregnant, such a woman who has never given birth to a child will be made the queen mother, which is not an ordinary thing.
Guo Wenying peeked at the queen mother, and saw the smile on the corner of her mouth, both kind and amiable, and suddenly remembered Feng Jingting's words that he was very good at pretending to be the queen mother, and couldn't help but secretly guess what was the reason for the cordiality she showed now?
It's no wonder that she always has a sense of fear of the palace, looking at the way the Feng brothers fight, this palace will not be clean.
Empress Dowager Jiang exchanged a few words with Mrs. Wu, and then looked at the three girls standing behind her affectionately, and said with a smile: "This eighty percent on the left is the young lady of the Dingguo Mansion." ”
Mrs. Wu hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother is really good eyesight. ”
The Queen Mother glanced at the other two again, "Which one is Guo Wenying?"
Guo Wenying hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, her salute was not exactly the same as that of an ordinary woman, with a free and easy atmosphere between her gestures, and she formed a square circle within three steps.
The Queen Mother nodded, "It's a neat and good boy." Then he smiled at the attendant and asked, "How do you look at this child?"
That Mama Li has been serving the Queen Mother since she was a child, and she has different feelings, and she didn't answer when she heard the words, but only pursed her mouth and smiled.
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, "What are you laughing at?"
Mama Li said with a smile: "The Queen Mother thinks it's good, then it's naturally good, but we think it's useless to be good or bad, so we have to live the emperor's eyes." I heard that this time the emperor's draft, there are only five selected, and it is a blessing for this Miss Guo to be one of them. ”
The Queen Mother also laughed, "What you said is also true, what is the use of my old woman looking at each other for a long time, naturally it is the emperor's picture." She said and waved her hand, "Come on, see the reward." ”
There is a palace maid holding out a tray, on which is a set of pure gold made of the head, there are special words in the palace, at first glance it is a special offering.
Guo Wenying took it and bowed again, and all the Guo family members also thanked him. Although she was rewarded, she didn't feel very happy, secretly wondering if Feng Jingting had already had a showdown with the Queen Mother, and if she was to be admitted to the palace, would there be this today?
Fu Ying was still waiting for the Queen Mother to call her and Guo Xiuzhi over, but after waiting for a long time, the Empress Dowager Jiang didn't even glance at her, as if she didn't notice that there was such a person as her. She was bored with herself, looking at Guo Wenying holding the gift box, she felt a little more hatred in her heart. Why couldn't her daughter enter the palace, but let the girl born by the cheap woman take such a good opportunity. If she could have married Hou Ye two years earlier, then she would have been the daughter of Mr.
She was full of hatred, but others were not very happy. The brocade box was in Guo Wenying's hand, but it was like a hot potato, and he always wanted to throw it out.
The queen mother gave a reward, so she didn't keep them anymore, but said: "There is still something in this palace today, so kneel down." ”
"Empress Dowager Xie. The group bowed cautiously, and then Yukani withdrew from inside.
When he arrived outside Renshou Palace, Guo Xiuzhi couldn't help but say: "What does the Queen Mother mean by this? How can you say a few words to drive people out, as if it is just to give the eldest sister a face." What annoyed her the most was that she didn't even have a chance to show her face.
Fu Ying glanced at her, which meant to shut her up, and she didn't dare to say it again, so she couldn't help but walk behind and glared at Guo Wenying fiercely.
Guo Wenying also felt that today's matter was a bit of a doorway, and the Queen Mother would not give her anything for nothing, so there might be something to say about it. The women in these palaces don't have a fuel-efficient lamp, and this thing for nothing is not necessarily good or bad.
Just after they left Renshou Palace for a while, Concubine Xian went to Renshou Palace to greet the Queen Mother.
Jiang Yuyan is the niece of the Queen Mother, so naturally she doesn't have much etiquette, so she said directly as soon as she met: "Auntie, can you see those two women?"
The Queen Mother raised her eyelids to look at her, "Who are you talking about?"
"It's not Yan Yulan and Guo Wenying. Jiang Yuyan pursed her lips, quite disdainful, obviously she entered the palace, but the emperor refused to make her the queen, and she herself was not favored, and the emperor didn't even want to see her, let alone sleep.
The Queen Mother lowered her head and cut a pot of potted begonia flowers, and said slowly: "You are just too anxious, where is this." ”
Jiang Yuyan said: "Auntie, they are about to enter the palace, after the emperor designates to enter the palace, I am out of play, my aunt has mentioned it a few times and the emperor has ignored it, obviously she doesn't like me, but these two women, which of them can get the back seat, doesn't my aunt want to know?"
The Queen Mother snorted lightly, "You also know that you don't have a show." "But if she is a good person, she also has a way to let her enter the middle palace, but her niece can't support the wall, she has a quick temper, and she is a material that makes people use guns, she is like this, she can't even see it, who dares to make her the queen?
Jiang Yuyan was unhappy, "Auntie, what I told you is true, you have to know who you want to be the queen." ”
The Queen Mother sighed, "It's not that the palace knows it, it's the emperor who knows it." When the child is older, he doesn't listen to it, is the emperor's lord done by the palace? But the palace guesses that the girl from the Yan family who is most likely to stay in the main palace. ”
Jiang Yuyan said "ah", "Didn't you say that the emperor has the deepest feelings for Guo Wenying?"
"You can't just look at the surface, you wait and see, the Yan family is bound to win the queen's position, and the girl of the Yan family has not married until nineteen, so she is waiting for this opportunity. Yan Yungu's old thing is not a good one, how can he let others go first? ”
There are no outstanding girls in their Jiang family in the next generation, and there is no hope left and right, but sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, even if she watches the play, she can see some taste.
Jiang Yuyan gritted her teeth on the side, thinking about Guo Wenying and Yan Yulan, she hated it to death. She is really unwilling to give up the position of queen to these two, why did they enter the palace late and step on her?
