On the 24th day of June in the lunar calendar, the next day is Concubine De's birthday.

It was still dark, and Lixia had already called Ying Qi up. All the clothes and accessories were already ready, Ying Qi wore a pink lotus pleated skirt, combed a beautiful double-ring bun, each with a tassel of a lilac lotus, a pair of earrings in the shape of a jasper lotus flower, a large gold collar on the chest, with a peace lock hanging on it, and a pair of silver bracelets carved with auspicious dolls on each wrist.

When she arrived at the old ancestor, the old lady looked at it and was very satisfied. "It's good, I just want such a pink and tender doll, like when I was young. This is really strange, you look exactly like your mother, but your temperament is like your mother. When the time comes, the mother will definitely like it when she sees it. ”

"Ancestor. Ying Qi was about to be coquettish, when Wuya Baobai sisters also came in.

Bao Bai, who has been carefully dressed, makes Yingqi's eyes light up. The jade skirt that reaches the ground is covered with a jasmine smoke soft yarn, and the slender waist is tied with an agate-inlaid tassel ribbon, which is simply cut into the shoulders and the waist is about plain. The maid's bun on her head is also combed, but it is slightly looser than Yingqi's, and it looks more fluffy. On the one hand, there is a red drop bead plum blossom gold step, inlaid with milky white pearls, and on the other hand, a jasper exquisite hosta, embellished with this jasmine-shaped hollow gold beads, elegant and generous without losing the luxury. On his neck, he wears a three-ring rice-sized Dongzhu necklace, and a white jade bracelet with ice seed translucent on his hand, which sets off the snow-white skin more crystal clear.

"Big sister, you're so beautiful! Second sister, third sister. Ying Qi greeted her.

"The fourth sister is also very cute. And they saluted each other.

"Big girl, that's good. The old lady couldn't help but praise. After all, it is the aristocratic blood of an imperial concubine, and they are naturally beautiful and excellent varieties.

"We're all set, let's go. You have to greet the guests well at home, you know? Especially the three girls, don't make trouble for your mother. The old lady commanded.

"Ancestor, I've grown up. I'm good. Wu Yachase pouted dissatisfied, and everyone laughed when they saw her cute appearance.

"Yes, yes, when you grow up, you have to greet the little sisters with your second sister, you know?"

"Got it. I promise to complete the task. Uyachase, patting her chest, reassured.

"Let's go. ！”

As the eldest lady helped the ancestor to get into the first carriage, Wu Ya Baobai and Ying Qi also got into the second carriage, and the rest of the carriages followed. This time, the eldest young master and the second young master personally escorted them into the palace, and Ying Qi's two cousins naturally rode horses in front of them.

Usually Deshengmen Street is still relatively lively, the carriage is bustling, and now probably all the noble families know that Ming'er is the birthday of Concubine De, so the carriage of the Wuya family has been driving straight into several streets, without encountering any carriages, and basically giving way in advance. After all, even political enemies and the like would not go to trouble an imperial concubine at this time, and even slap His Majesty in the face so seriously.

All the way, it was very quiet. Especially after entering the imperial city, no noise is allowed.

Ying Qi and Wu Ya Bao Bai both seemed relatively quiet, naturally at this time, it was impossible to lift the curtains to see the scene outside, and Ying Qi was still a little apprehensive about entering the palace for the first time. She thought about how to behave when she saw Concubine De to win her favor, after all, in the mansion she was going to in the future, Concubine De would be the biggest backer of her identity. Second, after that, I will return to the undercurrent of Niu Co Lu Mansion, how to stand still. As for Wuya Baobai, she has always been a standard ladylike woman, so she has always remained silent.

It seemed like a long time had passed, and the carriage stopped.

"The eldest lady and the fourth lady have already entered the hospital, please get off the carriage. The maid whispered outside.

The two sorted out their makeup, Ying Qi nodded to Wu Ya Bao Bai, and Wu Ya Bao Bai said, "Open the curtain." Immediately, a little maid outside lifted the curtain, the stool had been set up, Wuya Baobai got out of the carriage first, and her eldest maid pothos had already come to support her. Ying Qi followed and got out of the carriage, and naturally Xueyun came forward.

After the two got out of the carriage, they saw that the old ancestor and the eldest lady had also gotten out of the carriage, and were standing with Wuya Modri and Wuya Dachun, and there was a grandmother in palace clothes in front of them, and several people were talking about something.

Wu Ya Bao Bai and Ying Qi walked over. “…… The two sons can go back first, and the old lady will go to the side hall to rest for a while. "It seems that we have come to an end.

"Well, Modri, you guys go back first. Then accompany your father and them into the palace. The old lady nodded, and Uyamodri and Uyadachun saluted the three and left.

"Mama, you go first, let's go to the side hall by ourselves. The old lady smiled.

"Okay. I'm going to go back to my mother. Mama Yuan beckoned, and a palace maid dressed in pale green stepped forward. "Old lady, this is the palace maid Xi'er, let her lead you over. ”

"Isn't that the fun it used to be?" asked the old lady inadvertently. Mama Yuan blinked, but still replied: "She made a mistake and was degraded to Xinzheku." With that, he hurriedly saluted and left.

"I've seen the old lady. Xi'er came forward to salute the people.

"Let's go. And they went quietly after Xi'er.

The marble path winds out, the tall hundred-year-old green pines and cypresses block the scorching sun, the trees are decorated with all kinds of precious flowers, and the bees and butterflies are buzzing and flying, which looks thriving.

Follow the path, climb over an artificial stone bridge, and soon come to the front of the palace. You can see the grandeur of the main hall from afar, but the side hall they are facing now is also very exquisite, the marble paved ground is as smooth as new, the high cornices, hanging strings of purple wind chimes, swaying in the wind with beautiful dancing, golden glazed tiles in the sunlight shining brilliantly. The different tones set off the elegance and tranquility of the side hall.

"Old lady, please rest for a moment. Xi'er welcomed them into the hall, where there was a soft couch and two rows of wooden chairs, and everyone sat down in turn.

Xi'er immediately instructed the palace maids to send refreshments one after another.

"Sister Qi, come. The old lady beckoned Ying Qi to her side.

"Ancestor. Ying Qi obediently stepped forward.

"Isn't it a little nervous. It's okay, it's all like this in the palace. It's good to get used to it. You'll have to get used to it in the future, you know?" the old lady patted her hand.

"Why?" Ying Qi was a little puzzled.

"You kid, you are the young lady of Niu Colu Mansion, if nothing else, you will be matched with the eldest son of the royal family or the eldest son of the clan, so it will naturally become a normal thing to enter here. So it's good to think of it as home, just follow the rules more. The old lady smiled.

"yes, I see. Ying Qi didn't refute, after all, she was still very early for marriage.

"Niangniang is also very kind, and likes children who obey the rules the most. Don't worry, the mother will love you. The old lady continued to reassure her.

"Got it, Ancestor. Ying Qi nodded, it seemed that talking to the old lady like this felt much better.

"Old lady, the lady is invited. The mother said to invite the old lady, the eldest lady and the two little ladies to come over. After waiting for a while, a palace maid in a pale yellow palace skirt stepped forward, whispered a few words to Xi'er, and then came forward to salute the old lady.

"Hmm. The old lady nodded, and everyone walked towards the main hall.
