Empress Dowager Xiao took her hand and looked at it carefully. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At first glance, I only felt that the woman in front of me was as elegant as an orchid. At a second glance, there is a kind of arrogance in this elegance. The more Empress Dowager Xiao looked at her, the more she felt that she was a little extraordinary.

This extraordinaryness distinguishes her from other noble ladies. It is not the kind of scholarly temperament that grew up in poetry and books, nor is it the dignified and elegant training of young children, nor is it the self-cultivation of talent.

Xu Wanzhen has a kind of unearthly temperament that does not belong to ordinary dust, although she is in such a lively and festive place, she can't hide her taste, which emanates very lightly from her.

Empress Dowager Xiao's eyes were vicious, and even though her eyes were gentle, it also made Xu Wanzhen a little restrained.

Even if you are a human in two lives, all your ages add up to only thirty years old. At this moment, facing the most noble woman in the whole Gaomang, she was also a little nervous. I had to do my best to show what Mama Zheng had taught, and strive to show the most perfect self in front of Empress Dowager Xiao.

Xu Wanzhen quietly glanced at the Empress Dowager Xiao, and saw that she was noble and majestic, her skin was not saggy, only a few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and lips, which could be seen to be well-maintained. From Duanxiu's facial features, you can vaguely imagine her demeanor when she was young.

After the tea, Empress Dowager Xiao smiled slightly and said, "What a good boy, the mourning family looks like an extraordinary taste." ”

Xu Wan was really shocked, she was worthy of the Empress Dowager Xiao in Mama Zheng's mouth, and her eyes were really sharp. I have served the treasures of heaven and earth, and among ordinary people, it is indeed a little different. It's just that she has tried her best to cover it up, but she didn't expect to be seen by the Empress Dowager Xiao.

She said softly: "The courtiers are dull and don't dare to be the queen mother's praise." ”

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled loudly and said, "It's a polite person." He patted Xu Wanzhen's hand and said, "In front of the mourning family, you don't have to be so formal. Your grandmother married Jiangnan back then, and the mourning family also added makeup to her. After all, you are also my granddaughter. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. Haven't you heard that Mrs. Xu and Empress Dowager Xiao actually have a relationship?

The few people in front of them, even if they are Chen and Mrs. Zhuang, they are all younger than Empress Dowager Xiao, and they also know a lot about the friendship of the older generation. But I had never heard of it.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Empress Dowager Xiao sighed with emotion: "It's been decades in the past, Qionghua and she have been in Jiangnan again, no wonder you don't know." He turned his head and asked, "Is your grandmother in good spirits?" Qionghua is the name of Mrs. Xu.

Why did her old man never mention it, and she never thought of coming to the Empress Dowager Xiao for such a big thing as her father and brother being imprisoned?

Xu Wanzhen suppressed her surprise and replied respectfully: "Back to the Queen Mother's words, my grandmother has a strong body and can eat a whole bowl of rice every meal. ”

Empress Dowager Xiao had memories in her eyes, looked at Xu Wanzhen and said: "Qionghua's granddaughters are so old, and the mourning family is also old." ”

Lu Shi replied playfully: "If the Queen Mother says that she is old, what can we do as grandchildren." ”

Mrs. Zhuang said with a smile: "The courtiers are looking forward to it, and when the queen mother is this age, it will be good to have half of your spirit!"

Everyone loves to hear good words, even if it is the high-ranking Empress Dowager Xiao. She smiled and said, "You little mouth is sweet, don't you just let the mourning family do things for you? ”

Lu Shi pursed his lips and smiled, "What the courtiers said is true. ”

Empress Dowager Xiao looked at Xu Wanzhen and said, "Wanzhen, seeing you today can be regarded as a wish of the mourning family." When I have the opportunity, it would be nice to see my grandmother. I called you because I asked you something. The martial family came to the door to propose, and I saw that this family business was good. What do you think?"

Xu Wan was really stunned, isn't it this reminiscence of the past? Why did she suddenly ask about her marriage directly, she was mentally prepared and not stunned.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Mrs. Zhuang hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother is not strange, this child has a tender face." ”

"It's shy, no wonder. ”

Chen's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Empress Dowager Xiao was willing to help, and this matter was half done. Give that Xu Wanzhen a thousand guts, and she didn't dare to refuse the Queen Mother.

Looking at the flowery girl in front of her, Empress Dowager Xiao suddenly wanted to be a matchmaker.

The deep palace is lonely, and weekdays are just some pastimes. In order to avoid suspicion, it is inconvenient for her to ask about the affairs of the harem and the affairs of the court. At the moment, this matter is not bad, and it is also a blessing to be able to match a pair of beautiful people.

Thinking of this, she said to Chen with great interest: "Since the mourning family is allowed to be the matchmaker, then the two of them must be willing to do it, and the mourning family doesn't want to be that wicked person." Wanzhen is already here, what about that kid in your family? Call him too, and the two of them will meet each other. ”

This request is reasonable, and it is normal for the two to look at each other before getting married.

Chen's face was embarrassed, and he said: "Brother Xiang has never been close to the courtiers, but the courtiers don't know his whereabouts. ”

"Your mother-in-law has done too much irresponsibility. After seeing the old man, Empress Dowager Xiao was in a good mood at this time, and she didn't bother with her much, so she turned her head and instructed Mama Ding: "You go and ask the emperor, where is General Yunlu, who he personally sealed, on an errand at this time?"

Mama Ding responded, walked behind Emperor Qinglong, who was enjoying the song and dance with the queen in the hall, and asked softly.

Emperor Qinglong turned around in surprise and said, "Why does the queen mother want to see him?"

Mama Ding told the truth again, and Emperor Qinglong laughed and said, "It turns out that the old man wants to be a matchmaker." What is said is that people in this life, if they don't mention the door, they have to look at the right eye. ”

Empress Cao listened to it on the sidelines, laughing at herself in her heart, she was the person the emperor didn't look at.

Wu Zhengxiang is in the palace at the moment, but his identity is secret, and no one in the palace knows except Wu Guangqi and Emperor Qinglong.

Emperor Qinglong pondered for a moment and said: "You go and call back to the queen mother, I will ask people to find him, but it is estimated that it will take some effort." After Mama Ding retreated, he instructed the little eunuch who was waiting next to him to ask him to find Wu Guangqi.

When Empress Dowager Xiao heard this, she smiled and said, "It's still the emperor who is able to do things." Go down first, and when the two of you arrive, we'll see each other. ”

Several people bowed back.

Chen returned to his seat and sat upright, his eyes a little gloomy.

"Mother thinks that Miss Xu has the blue eyes of the Queen Mother, and she is afraid that it will be difficult to marry into the family?" asked Lu Shi with a look at the words.

Chen nodded slightly, this matter seemed to be inseparable, she should have been happy. But she didn't expect that this Xu Wanzhen's grandmother actually had a relationship with Empress Dowager Xiao when she was young, which made Empress Dowager Xiao look at her differently.

I just don't know, what is the extent of that old friendship?

Will Empress Dowager Xiao pay attention to Xu Wanzhen for the sake of her past friendship? If so, she has moved a stone and shot herself in the foot.
