Because they didn't want to be misunderstood and fell to King Gaomi, the group had a luncheon in the Zhao Mansion, and the Nan clan left on the grounds that the New Year was approaching and there were many trivial matters in the Ningwei Hou Mansion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After returning to the Hou Mansion, the Nan family didn't care about changing clothes and removing makeup, and asked, "How are you getting along with the juniors of the Zhao family today?"

There is no problem with the girl here, Xu Baomo and Sheng Sleepy Crane also said: "The sons of the Zhao family are all humble gentlemen, and they have a good conversation today. ”

Nan nodded with satisfaction: "That's good, the Zhao family has always attached importance to the style, not to mention that their family has limited friendship with us, and I don't expect Zhao Xuan to do anything for you in the spring, anyway, you are all really talented and learned." Just went on this trip, and borrowed the mouths of his sons and nephews to let him know that you are all good. When the rankings are scheduled in the future, if there are a few people who are similar to you, maybe they can take the lead anyway, it will be half a day, if they can succeed, if they can't, they will be counted, and we will not suffer!"

Everyone laughed: "It's still thoughtful as you think." ”

This is the end of Zhao's trip, and then it is time to go to Empress Dowager Meng to explain that the matter of Dan Molou is just a coincidence.

Empress Dowager Meng is not comparable to the Zhao Mansion, although Nan's status as Mrs. Ning Weihou is not low among the noblewomen of Chang'an, and the letter of request to see is handed in, and it still took five or six days to get the news.

"The Queen Mother is humble and loving, and you don't have to worry about being generous. "Nan's mother and daughter are no strangers to entering the palace, after all, with Xu Zijing's status, his wife and daughter, but there is a grand banquet in the palace to give to the wives, they must all have a share.

However, it was the first time that Sheng Weiqiao had seen Da Mu's most honorable queen mother, although there was no direct conflict with the Meng family in Danmo Tower, he couldn't help but be a little nervous.

Seeing this, Nan comforted them, "When you arrive, just reply like you did in front of Old Madam Qin." ”

After waving his hand to let the left and right retreat, his voice was lowered, "Actually, the Queen Mother has been sick three or four times in the past two years, and she has always been a little tired, I guess we will have to retire after we meet without saying a few words." That is, to make a statement, so as not to be misunderstood!"

Sheng Weiqiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and pulled Sister Xu Caikui to help her dress up in the palace.

The next day, they entered the palace with the Nan clan, this time Xu Baomo and Sheng Sleeping Crane naturally did not follow, the palace city is in the south of Chang'an City, and there is not much way from Ningwei Hou's Mansion.

Get on the carriage, a moment of effort will come down, the place to get off is a square outside the palace gate, in front of the towering city wall is a half-open vermilion lacquer copper nail beast title ring of the city gate, not far away stands the lotus seat plate dragon ornament flow cloud pattern top bearing dew plate sitting on the sky to look at the sky of the watch.

The guards around are clearly armored, and there is a kind of solemnity in the silence, which makes people feel awe-inspiring, and even the young Sheng Weiwei and Xu Caifu subconsciously put up their little faces and make positive colors.

Because the Queen Mother gave permission to see them in advance, they didn't have to wait long in front of the city gate before they were allowed to enter.

After entering, an inner attendant wearing a round-necked robe with indigo background embroidered with a cloud pattern and a mink coat came up with a whisk to greet him, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Nan, the Queen Mother asked our family to wait here and guide you the way!"

Although Nan's mother and daughter have been to the palace several times, they are familiar with the path from here to Xinshou Palace, where the Queen Mother lives, but the palace has its own rules, and they are not allowed to act privately at all, and it is necessary to have palace people to accompany them.

This chamberlain will be waiting here.

Nan knew him, so he smiled at this moment and said, "There is Lao Tian's father-in-law!"

Her henchman Chensha hurriedly stuffed a heavy purse over, and this Tian Gonggong did not shirk, and after neatly putting it into his sleeve, he waved the dust with a smile on his face: "A few people here, please!"

Sheng Weiqiao and others entered the palace for the first time, nervous, but also very curious, although they did not dare to blatantly look around, but also from time to time to pay attention to the scenery along the way, but unfortunately, this season's Chang'an is covered with snow, the entire palace is covered by thick snow, not to mention, not to mention a few steps, that Tian Gonggong's feet turned, and they turned into a deep alley!

Although this alley is quite spacious, it is estimated that it can be easily passed by eight steps, but the problem is that the left and right sides are high palace walls like city walls, not to mention what palace scene you can see, that is, even the sky can only see a line.

The bluestone paving in the alley is very clean, except for the large tank filled with water every other section, and the occasional inconspicuous small door on the wall, there is nothing!

Sheng Weiqiao and the others couldn't help but be speechless.

I don't know if it's because of the strict rules in the palace, or because of something else, Natian's father-in-law said that he was leading the way for them, and he really showed them the way Since he entered this alley, he hasn't opened his mouth.

As a result, the group walked silently, and the atmosphere became tense.

After a long time, Father-in-law Tian finally stopped in front of a small door and motioned for them to enter.

Entering this door, the eyes suddenly opened: the floor tiles carved with the pattern of the entwined lotus flower have obviously just been swept by someone with a thin broom, although the snow is falling at the moment, but only a layer of thin snow is paved on both sides of the road is a white marble railing enclosed by flower beds, the flower beds are planted with flowers and trees, even if they are wrapped in snow into a cluster of jade tree Qiong branches, but also have a unique style, occasionally there is a plum blooming period, it is cold and fragrant.

When stepping on the floor tiles and walking for a short time, after crossing a five-hole arch bridge, it is the palace gate of the book "Xinshou Palace", a row of red sandalwood hexagonal carved palace lamps are hung high, and the majestic is more gorgeous.

The guards at the door were covered with snow, but they did not move, and the upright halberd silently told the majesty of the heavenly family.

Tian Gong confessed his guilt and went in alone.

After a while, he came out and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother, please let in immediately!"

Nan Shi hurriedly said: "The courtiers don't dare. ”

reminded the juniors to tidy up their skirts and appearance, and led them to follow Gonggong Tian into the palace gate.

After entering, the face is usually according to the wall, this wall is about four or five zhang long, about more than zhang high, it looks like it is a whole piece of white marble carved into, carved phoenix, the bottom is the sea water pattern and the hundred flower patterns are staggered to set off, in the middle of a picture of the longevity of the immortal wishing longevity, the bamboo strange stone, the spirit turtle crane, the Ganoderma lucidum white deer, are all lifelike.

Turn the wall, it is a relatively empty field, there is a stone case in the middle, the landscape bonsai is placed on it, the bonsai is located in the water, at this time it is almost frozen, and it looks a little sluggish.

But the more you go inside, the more gorgeous and luxurious the surrounding furnishings are arranged, it will completely dilute this depression Suo Xu is close to the New Year's Day, Xinshou Palace is full of lights, the cloister under the colorful silk is continuous, like neon in the past, every few steps, there is a garnet red brocade silk flower tied together, the types of flowers are not the same, peony, camellia, peony, rose all have a human head and a gold silk tassel under the bottom, even in the snow, look up, it is also a golden light flashing, gorgeous very.

There are palace lamps hanging again, for night lighting, all the gilt copper carved longevity Ruyi pavilion style palace lamp, exquisite workmanship, exquisite materials, on the value of Sheng Wei Qiao in the sea fell off the wood gold intarsia bird pattern jade palace lamp, now here is a pair of five steps, look at it, the whole Xinshou Palace is afraid that there are hundreds of thousands?

Because there is no paving dragon under the cloister, so under each pair of palace lamps, there is also a pair of gilt carved five blessings holding longevity pagoda-like charcoal basins, covered with copper covers, and the charcoal is clearly burned in the inside, but there are no fireworks, obviously it is the best silver bone charcoal. This charcoal color is like hoarfrost, there is no smoke, it is difficult to burn, but it is not easy to extinguish after burning, such a pot is enough to support a day and night The corridor not only has no earth dragon, but the sides are not sealed with glass and other things, but it is just a felt carpet that is long and beautiful people rely on.

Now they walked in the middle of it, only to feel the warmth in the charcoal basin, because the cloister was not sealed, the cold wind blowing in from between the felt carpets, not only did not feel biting, but brought a little plum fragrance and snow fragrance, and there was no feeling of stuffiness.

The Sheng Weiqiao sisters can be regarded as accustomed to seeing wealth since childhood, but several members of the Sheng family pay attention to enjoyment rather than indulgence, and this kind of extravagant scene is almost poor and extravagant, but they have never seen it before.

After a long time of being a little dizzy and dazed, Father-in-law Tian stood still in front of a step, and after asking for the crime again, he went inside alone to confess, and they came back to their senses, and quickly arranged their dresses, adjusted their demeanor, and prepared for the audience.

After a while, a palace maid in colorful clothes came out, blessed Nan's family, and said in a harmonious voice: "Mrs. Nan, the Queen Mother is invited!"

Nan hurriedly thanked him, and Chensha also stuffed his purse in time, but the palace maid didn't ask for it, and only smiled and let them go in with him.

Sheng Weiqiao thought that by now, the Queen Mother should be in this main hall.

Who knew that it wasn't after they entered, the palace maid in colorful clothes led them to walk a few steps towards the main hall, but she turned around, walked to the side, walked along the compound road, stopped in front of a warm pavilion, and raised her voice and said: "Queen Mother, Mrs. Ning Weihou and Miss Zhu ask to see!"

After a while, an elderly woman in it responded: "The Queen Mother invites Mrs. Ning Weihou and Miss Zhu to come in to see her!"

At this time, the palace people at the door raised their arms to open the golden brocade curtain and let them in, of course, it was just the Nan family, the Xu family sisters, Sheng Weiqiao, Sheng Weiwei and Gongsun Yingjiang: except for the Nan family, because they are serious women, they are qualified to bring cinnabar inside and outside, and the other people's maids must stop.

When I entered the door, there was a heat wave rushing in, in fact, there was a charcoal basin outside, and I didn't feel cold, but the room seemed to be in the summer, and before I crossed the threshold, there was a tendency to sweat lightly on my forehead.

Fortunately, at the entrance, a rosewood ivory carved group of immortals celebrated their birthday in front of the interstitial screen guarded the three or five palace people, seeing them, he stretched out his hand to signal to untie their robes for them, and hung them on the phoenix head openwork grass pattern hanger next to them.

A few people turned the screen and entered, and saw that it was a not too large space, and the first set up the red sandalwood side seat chisel tire enamel four friends picture throne screen for the scene, and the red sandalwood cloud bat pattern throne was placed in front of the screen, and the brocade carpet was placed on it, and at this moment there was an old woman in gorgeous clothes who was sitting in her seventies.

This old woman combed her hair and threw it away, there were not many hairpin rings, only two fulcrums were inserted obliquely, and she wore a pair of red gold silk inlaid jade rabbit medicine earrings because it was very hot in the warm pavilion, so she wore a shirt of purple crepe, and the bottom was an autumn-colored Liuxian skirt If it were not for the white jade gold box phoenix peony in the white jade box, the wide female belt was very useful, and it seemed to be just an ordinary elder.

At this moment, with a smile on his lips, his face was kind, he raised his hand and helped him, saying, "Flat, give a seat!"

Nan took the lead in thanking him, and after sitting down, the palace people held the fragrant tea again, Sheng Weiqiao peeked at other places at this time, and first saw four girls in splendid dresses sitting opposite, of which the third was Meng Guihuan.
