Chapter Seventy-Nine: Sending the North (I)

The eldest sister of the Queen Mother was the old lady of the Zhenguo Mansion, and Shen Miaolan's brain was short-circuited for a while, and she couldn't figure out the number of the Queen Mother.

But then again, the woman who sat on the throne of the Queen Mother step by step in this deep palace is indeed not something that Shen Miaolan can guess.

Fortunately, Miao Lan was a person who was at ease with what happened and had a big heart, so she didn't speculate much and followed her will. Then he asked, "Daqi has a vast area, with mountains, rivers, ice and snow in the north, and small bridges and flowing water in the south. I don't know which kind of scenery Mrs. Gu prefers, so Miao'er can create a painting that suits the old lady's heart. ”

The Queen Mother listened to Miaolan's words, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. "The north has the vastness of the north, and the poetry of the south has the south. If you talk about preference, it's hard to deduce. It's just that the mourning family and the eldest sister are from Jinling, who grew up in the south of the Yangtze River since childhood, and have never set foot in the north, so they don't know their appearance. When Lao Zhen Guogong was alive, he had fought against Chesha Kingdom in the north for many years, and the eldest sister regretted that she had never seen the scenery of the north with her own eyes and appreciated the customs of the north. Now that I'm older, it's unlikely that I'll want to go there myself. Why don't you draw one with the north as the background? ”

Shen Miaolan lived in the north of China in her previous life, and she knows the scenery of the north best, but the scenery after a thousand years is different from the present, and it is naturally difficult to make it by imagination alone. Now my situation is different from that of modern times, and I can't go out with my sketchpad on my back at any time. Shen Miaolan realized that she had dug a pit for herself, and jumped down happily. When I was in trouble, I heard the Queen Mother say, "You also grew up in this capital, where have you seen the scenery of the north, so it is embarrassing for you." ”

Shen Miaolan nodded hurriedly, and said a little shyly, "It's Miao'er who didn't think about it before, and I ask the Queen Mother not to mind." ”

"It's okay," the Queen Mother waved her hand, "Since you can think of this, it naturally means that you have a heart." I have never seen the scenery of the north is not tight, the capital to Feng'an is only ten days away, and the scenery of Feng'an grassland is extremely beautiful. Now is the time when the water and plants are abundant, why don't you go and see for yourself? ”

Shen Miaolan looked at the Queen Mother in disbelief, is this the rhythm of her business trip?

"Imperial grandmother, you let Sister Miaolan go out to play like this, but it's eccentric!" Zhaohe was introduced by the palace maid and walked to the queen mother's side and saluted, with a sweet smile on his face.

The Queen Mother loved Zhaohe the most, and when she came in, a warm smile appeared on her originally cold face. "You naughty bag, why did you just come over today to say goodbye? Are you lazy to sleep again and refuse to get up?"

"The imperial grandmother has wronged her granddaughter," Zhaohe leaned over to the queen mother, knelt on her knees and said coquettishly, "The granddaughter got up early in the morning, and made hawthorn white fungus pear soup for the imperial grandmother herself." The rules of the province are set every morning and dusk, and the granddaughter keeps them in mind, so that she will not miss the hour. ”

Zhao He said, while taking a small blue and white porcelain cup from the hand of the accompanying palace maid, and handed it to the Queen Mother like a treasure, "The imperial grandmother appreciates the light and tastes the craftsmanship of her granddaughter." ”

The Queen Mother was quite surprised, "When did you learn to make soup?"

Zhao He's little face was raised, quite proud, "My granddaughter has a ready-made master, and she is standing in front of the imperial grandmother." ”

The Queen Mother glanced at Shen Miaolan, took a porcelain spoon and tasted the soup, pursed her lips and praised, "It is indeed a good taste, and it can teach our princess who does not touch the spring water to the level of the imperial kitchen, Miss Shen is really a wonderful chef!"

Shen Miaolan got up and saluted, "The Queen Mother praised it falsely, it is the princess Hui who has a blue heart, and the blue is better than the blue." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and praised the good taste, squinted her eyes and savored the sweet and sour soup.

Zhao He leaned over and asked, "The imperial grandmother just said that she would send Sister Miaolan to Feng'an to be serious. ”

"What?" the Queen Mother glanced at her little granddaughter, reached out and carefully straightened out the broken hair on her forehead, and said dotingly, "What objections do you have to have?"

"The granddaughter doesn't dare," Zhaohe learned from the boy to bow down, "The granddaughter wants to ask for the order to accompany Sister Miaolan." ”

"You have never been out of the imperial city since you were a child, and this road is long and high, how do you endure it?"

Zhaohe was in pain, rubbed the back of his hand, and muttered, "The imperial grandmother feels sorry for her granddaughter, who has a long mountain and a long journey. Wouldn't the old lady of Ning Yuanhou also feel distressed, don't say it if you are distressed, if the old lady knows, won't it be chilling. ”

Where are the courtiers who question the Heavenly Family? Shen Miaolan was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "The princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, and Miaolan ......."

"Shhhhh "I'm jealous that you can go out and travel, and move the old lady out to use it! I know, the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion will not be like this. ”

Shen Miaolan was secretly relieved to see that the Queen Mother still had a kind smile on her face. secretly glanced at Zhao He. Seeing the Queen Mother poke Zhao He's head again, she scolded angrily, "You prank, if I don't ask you to go, won't you be inconsiderate of others, and only your own children will be valuable?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Zhao He nodded again and again.

The Queen Mother was quite helpless, "Miaolan has always been steady, and I can rest assured that I will follow you." It's just that you remember, you are not allowed to make a mess with your trip, and you are allowed to mess around. Miao Lan has a mission on this trip, so don't delay coming back to your aunt's birthday party. ”

"The granddaughter knows, the granddaughter must watch Sister Miaolan's painting carefully, and she will never let her be lazy. When it's time for my aunt's and grandmother's birthday, I'll come back with Sister Miaolan and the birthday gift!"

The Queen Mother couldn't stand the little granddaughter's appearance of playing treasure, and scolded with a smile. waved to the little eunuch on the side and said, "Go and inquire if the emperor is in court, if he is in court, I will ask him to come to the mourning family." ”

The little eunuch bowed down to accept the order, said yes, and walked out.

"Do the imperial grandmother and father have something to discuss? Zhao He saw that the Queen Mother called the emperor, and knew that he couldn't stay for a long time, so he got up.

The Queen Mother did not stop her, "If you want to leave the palace, you must have the permission of your father." If you are so far away, someone must accompany you to protect them. ”

"I'm tired of the emperor's grandmother worrying about her granddaughter. Zhao He bowed, took the queen mother's hand and shook it coquettishly and said, "Granddaughter will go and learn a few more dishes from Master Shen, and make them to honor the emperor's grandmother." After speaking, he jumped up and pulled Shen Miaolan out of Ci'an Palace.

The Queen Mother looked at the backs of the two children, her eyes sank. The old lady who was waiting on the side stepped forward and bowed down to ask, "Niangniang has been sitting all morning, thinking that she is tired." The slave will help you into the inner hall to rest for a while, and goodbye your majesty. ”

"Hmm. The Queen Mother nodded, and was supported by the old grandmother. While walking into the inner hall, he said, "The prince and Zhaohe are both children with the most outstanding character, and the two of them are so close to this Shen Miaolan, it makes the mourning family a little incomprehensible." ”
