"Are you Ye Zhaoyi's cousin?" The Queen Mother looked behind Mrs. Ye, the slim but gentle and virtuous woman, who had been standing quietly behind Mrs. Ye since she first came over.

"The people's daughter Wanying has seen the Queen Mother. Sun Wanying's face was shy, and she came out from behind Mrs. Ye and bowed to the Queen Mother.

"It's all my own family, you don't have to be so polite, come here, give Wanying a seat. The Queen Mother seems to be very satisfied with Sun Wanying, she looks like a small family with a beautiful jasper, but this etiquette is generous and decent.

Wanying thanked the Queen Mother. Sun Wanying lowered her head, hooked her lips and smiled, revealing a obedient expression.

Ye Xuexi sat aside and just drank tea quietly, not caring about what he said at all.

This morning, when the grandmother beside the Queen Mother came to deliver the decree, Murong Fu had just come back from the morning court, and happened to hear it, but he just said that she should bring Fengjin.

Ye Xuexi thought, maybe it was because Feng Jin was more qualified, and if she caused something on the Queen Mother's side when she was around, she would have a good idea.

"Wanying earlier got a pair of crystal delicate seeds from a friend in the Western Regions, and heard that the Queen Mother likes to play chess very much, so today she wants to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and dedicate this pair of chess pieces to the Queen Mother, and hope that the Queen Mother will not dislike it. Sun Wanying covered her sleeves and smiled lightly, took a brocade box from the maid and handed it to the grandmother beside the Queen Mother.

Mama presented the brocade box to the Queen Mother, opened the brocade box in front of the Queen Mother, and saw that the brocade box contained two sets of black and white chess pieces, both made of crystal, clear and transparent, and refracted dazzling light in this sunlight.

"Queen Mother, this chess piece is really beautiful. The grandmother couldn't help but look at it a few more times and praised.

The Queen Mother showed a very satisfied smile, and asked Mama to close the box and put the chess pieces down, "I like this gift very much, and I have a heart." ”

In and outside the palace, there are not a few people who know that she likes to play chess, and there are many officials who will send many precious chess pieces on her birthday.

The Queen Mother likes it, and Wanying is satisfied. ”

Why don't you say that Sun Wanying is very suitable for surviving in this harem? How long has it been since she came?

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Ye Xuexi's mouth hidden under the tea cup.

"Ye Zhaoyi, don't just drink tea, although the tea in the palace of the mourning family is delicious, but this is an opportunity to drink, your mother finally entered the palace, why don't you see a few words of condolences?" The Queen Mother moved her eyes to Ye Xuexi's body, and saw that she didn't speak for a long time, and there was a trace of displeasure in her tone.

Ye Xuexi thought to herself, I don't speak, isn't this to give you a chance to talk to Sun Wanying?

Although I thought so in my heart, I didn't dare to show it, so I could only smile, and then put down the tea cup in my hand, "Let the Queen Mother smile, the concubine thought to herself, the Queen Mother summoned the concubine's mother to Shouhe Palace, there must be something important to say to the concubine's mother, even if the concubine has not seen her mother for a long time, she misses it very much, and she can't delay the Queen Mother." ”

What Ye Xuexi said was reasonable, coupled with the expression in place, even though the Queen Mother still had opinions about her, she had nothing to say.

"Queen Mother, don't blame your cousin, my cousin is such a character, she doesn't like to talk much, but her heart is good, and she always thinks about others. Seeing this, Sun Wanying hurriedly came up to play the round.

Ye Xuexi glanced at her lightly, and thought, do I still need you to help me speak?

But Sun Wanying's words, the Queen Mother still listened to them, not only heard them, but also felt that what she said was very good, so she was more satisfied with her eyes.

"Wanying, I heard that your father is the Taishou of Qiyang City?" the Queen Mother picked up the teacup and gently stirred it.

"Exactly. Sun Wanying nodded.

"And what did you study?"

Compared with Ye Xuexi, although Sun Wanying's father is not a big official, not as good as Taifu, but Sun Wanying is a genuine official lady, she has been in the boudoir since she was a child, learning the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting that everyone can only learn, embroidering female red, and Ye Xuexi is just a father with a Taifu, and he is just a girl who grew up in the countryside, not to mention qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she can't recognize all the words.

Therefore, compared with Sun Wanying, the Queen Mother is naturally more satisfied with Sun Wanying.

"Empress Dowager Qi, Wanying is just learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in the boudoir, and she can't get on the stage. She hung her head and looked shy the whole time, as if she really didn't know anything about these things.

The Queen Mother didn't believe it, she only thought she was humble.

"In addition to Mrs. Ye having a good pair of daughters, this niece is also so exquisite, Mrs. Ye is really blessed. The Queen Mother said.

Mrs. Ye was restrained, "The Queen Mother laughed, my little daughter has been raised outside the Ye Mansion since she was a child, and she has a stubborn temperament, and I hope the Queen Mother will not care." ”

Mrs. Ye Xuexi's temper still knows something, although they haven't been together for a long time, it is not difficult to understand, not to mention that the master has also said that Xi'er is not an easy person to control.

It's just that there are many rights and wrongs in this harem, if Xi'er is still so ignorant of restraint, the queen mother will definitely not sit idly by, this time she is called into the palace, and she has to bring Wanying, I'm afraid she doesn't really want to see her, her real purpose is Wanying.

Although their Sun family is not a rich and noble family, among the descendants of the Sun family, Wanying is the most outstanding, exquisite, changeable, and empathetic.

Although she also likes Wanying's niece very much, Xi'er is her daughter after all, if there is a conflict between the two, as a mother, she will never sit idly by.

"Your daughter, even if she is born and raised, she is not lazy at all, although she is not as gentle and virtuous as the lady in the boudoir, but it is also impressive, even the female official Zhao Xian has praised her with the mourning family, saying that her chess is very interesting, and there will be a kind of painting skills that others will not know, the mourning family went to visit Concubine Lan last time, and saw the portrait she painted for Concubine Lan, vivid, the mourning family has never seen any master in the palace who can paint such a painting, it can be seen that Mrs. Ye's teaching of her daughter is really attentive. The Queen Mother said meaningfully.

Oh, Xi'er can also paint, Mrs. Ye looked at Ye Xuexi in surprise.

She didn't grow up beside herself, she was exiled since she was a child, when the lord took her back, he only said that she had suffered a lot outside, and she was not very clear about the specific situation, she thought that her life outside was very hard, so she didn't say anything after she came back, she only felt distressed, her daughter, who was also a lady of the dignified Taifu family, not to mention that she had no brocade clothes and jade food since she was a child, but she did not learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting like everyone else, but she didn't expect that she would play chess and paint.
