The queen is dignified and dignified, and even Shen Guifei looks much more stable, and her dress is decent.

When Hui Zhi and the Wang family went to Cining Palace to ask for peace, the queen mother seemed very enthusiastic, pulled the mother and son to say a lot of things, and asked Mrs. Sun about the situation at home, she was in good health, and couldn't help but sigh: "Our old sisters are old, and we want to meet and deliver posts, but we can't stand this toss." It's all good in the palace... I look at Concubine Hua's birth very steadily, and the emperor is also concerned, there is a mourning family watching in the palace, and no one dares to do anything. ”

Shen Guifei has been in Cining Palace for so long, if she hurried to attack Concubine Hua as soon as she returned to the palace, then she would not have to sit in the position of concubine.

Wang bowed his head and thanked him, "Concubine Hua is in the palace, and it is all up to the Queen Mother's mercy." ”

The Queen Mother chuckled, "The girl fights for herself, and the emperor likes it too, the mourning family just helps some when she can." ”

Mrs. Sun had not entered the palace for a long time to ask the Empress Dowager for peace, and the Empress Dowager had heard that Mrs. Sun was occasionally unwell, so she only sent someone to visit her -- it was too troublesome to enter the palace.

Wang chatted with the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother urged her, "Take the six girls to the Cixiao Palace to say hello to the Queen Mother, her old man specially made a decree, just want to meet your mother and daughter." ”

Wang nodded and bowed with Hui Zhi to leave.

The palace of Cixiao is also very lively, the eldest princess of Xinglong and the county lord of Ren'an are also there, and there are some relatives of the emperor and the country, the older ones are younger, and many people are around the queen mother and talk tricky.

When the palace people reported that "Mrs. Cheng'anhou and the sixth lady of Cheng'anhou's Mansion have arrived", the Empress Dowager's obvious smile deepened, "Come over and I'll take a look, I haven't seen the little girl for a long time." ”

When the mother and daughter entered the Cixiao Palace, the Empress Dowager went to look at the Wang family first, and said with kind eyebrows: "Is your health good after giving birth?" Looking more closely, the embroidered sleeves of the middle garment in the sleeves of Wang's edict clothes were made of one of the patterns in the satin she had rewarded a few days ago, and she smiled.

Wang took Hui Zhi to make a big salute, and her movements were dignified and beautiful. The answer was also decent, and the Queen Mother immediately fell in love with Wang, and said bluntly, "No wonder the girl is raised so well." ”

There was laughter and laughter in the Cixiao Palace.

Hui Zhi was pulled by the Empress Dowager and sat down. asked someone to serve her and the county lord of Ren'an with crispy cheese and sweet soup, pinched Huizhi's fingers and said, "My wife won't go to the palace banquet to join in the fun-it's chattering, noisy." Use it a little more while the soup is still hot, and everything at the banquet will be unpalatable. It's not hot, so as not to have a stomachache after eating, and go back to make Pei Xiaozi feel distressed. ”

Hui Zhi lowered her head and smiled shyly, pointed at the sweet soup with her fingertips, and asked, "Do the ladies in the palace have soup?" ”

The Empress Dowager smiled: "Don't worry, naturally there is, and your mother's share is indispensable." ”

Hui Zhi and the county lord of Ren'an looked at each other and smiled, picked up the spoon and drank it with a smile.

The palace of filial piety seemed to be happy, and the Guanghe Hall began to be lit up.

After saying goodbye to the Empress Dowager, Hui Zhi and her mother were led by the palace people to the Guanghe Palace. This is the first time she has entered the Guanghe Hall in the palace. Although it is novel, it can only hang its head and go inside, and cannot look at it at will.

The main hall is carved and painted, and there are already court musicians who play music in it, and a cheerful tune sounds.

The nobles in the palace entered the Guanghe Hall one by one.

In the center of the seat of the Guanghe Palace, there is a semi-hollow screen and a thin bead curtain, separating the emperor's harem beauties from the court officials outside.

Hui Zhi's eyes are sharp, waiting for the concubines to enter the table. At a glance, I saw Sui Hua sitting on the lower position on the left side of the queen, slightly behind the seat.

The emperor has not yet arrived, and the position is on the same throne, so Shen Guifei's is slightly lowered. When the palace concubines had almost arrived, Shen Guifei was late. The position of the lower head on the right is Li Concubine, Hui Zhi has seen it in Cixiao Palace, and there are a few Jieyu who look at the same position under Li Concubine, one of whom is particularly young, with beautiful eyes and peach cheeks. lowered her eyebrows and tactfully - it must be Liu Jieyu who was brought back from Jiangnan.

On the left is sitting Zhou Shufei, and Zhou Shufei is behind, which is Suihua.

As if sensing the gaze here, Sui Hua raised his eyes to the curtain and saw his sister.

Hui Zhi smiled softly at her, and Sui Hua nodded at her, and the two didn't communicate again.

The crown prince, King Mu, and King Xiao entered the main hall together, and after everyone said goodbye, after half a moment, the emperor and the queen entered the main hall together.

The ministers and officials, the beauties of the harem all got up, the mountain shouted long live, the emperor smiled heartily, called out to be free of courtesy, and a father-in-law with a round face next to him clapped his hands, and the kabuki of the palace workshop wore light clothes and entered the main hall, dancing enchantingly.

The wine and wine are good, but the dishes served are still half-cold after all, making people have little appetite for eating. After eating for a long time, a new dish was served in the imperial dining room, but I didn't expect it to be a mutton pot, everyone was happy, and Hui Zhi was even more happy to pull Wang's sleeve.

Wang nodded the tip of her nose, "It's delicious, it's in the palace, not at home." ”

Hui Zhi stuck out her tongue and said, "I don't know who came up with the idea, the pot comes up with the charcoal fire, and you can drink a mouthful of hot soup." ”

There was a lot of discussion below, and the emperor on the dragon throne was also in a good mood when he saw it, and asked the queen, "Who thought of this method?" It's really good. If the harem banquet is in a cold weather, add a pot. ”

The queen pulled up her sleeves and personally served a bowl of soup for the emperor, and replied with a smile: "The method is a good method, and it was thought out by His Royal Highness King Xiao." Just ......"

"Just what?" The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked.

The queen pointed to the palace eunuchs who served food to each seat, "This pot is a small pot specially made by the Internal Affairs Office, and it is really convenient to use it at the palace banquet, but it is a little extravagant; The most difficult thing to do is that the imperial dining room wants to send this pot from the kitchen of the imperial dining room to the Guanghe Palace, which is really a waste of old kung fu, and I heard that when the little eunuchs practiced serving, they were not less burned. ”

The emperor was a little darkened, and his eyebrows darkened.

Concubine Shu listened to the queen so blatantly giving eye medicine to King Xiao, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she didn't speak. Just as she was about to ask the palace people to serve her another bowl of hot soup, she heard a glutinous and delicate voice speak: "The queen's worries are true, but the concubine has a better way, I don't know if the emperor is willing to listen?" ”

Everyone looked for the voice, and it turned out to be the emperor's new favorite Liu Jieyu.

The emperor's eyebrows widened, and he said softly: "I love the concubine, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Liu Jieyu smiled, with gentleness in her style, and pointed to the small pot in front of her, "Since the emperor intends to put a pot on the palace banquet, this small pot can naturally be used in the future, even if it is not extravagant, as for the soup pot sent by the palace eunuchs to the banquet, it is simpler over there." ”

Liu Jieyu rolled her eyes, looked at the emperor's expression, and said briskly: "Knowing that the pot is sent to the side hall first, after sending the charcoal fire and the pot separately, adding the charcoal fire in the side hall, warming the soup pot, and then sending it to the seat with the food plate, isn't it both convenient and trouble-free?" ”

After listening to her, the emperor's eyes softened a little, "Liu Jieyu is right, let the imperial dining room try it in the future, can it be useful, if it is useful, it is also a good thing to have an extra hot pot at the palace banquet." ”

Liu Jieyu smiled shyly and thanked the emperor for his praise.

The queen's face suddenly became a little ugly. (To be continued.) )
