Chapter Seventy-Four: Luo Yi
How similar his son's face was to his deceased husband, and when he thought that he would never be able to see that similar face again, Chu Zhaohui could only sigh silently and smile reluctantly to his son. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Sensing her mother's depression, Su Duhan comfortingly hugged her mother's arm and smiled intimately and concerningly. He personally put his mother on the warm sedan chair that had been waiting at the gate of the palace for a long time, and carefully lowered the sedan curtain, and quietly followed his mother's warm sedan chair.
The two side concubines were not qualified to participate in today's banquet, just because they were rewarded by the Empress Dowager of Shoukang Palace, and they only entered the palace with Mrs. Anguo on Chinese New Year's Eve every year and kowtowed to the old master.
Today, the two had a tacit understanding, and after thinking about their clothes for a long time, they all chose a dark concubine-colored tuanhua palace dress with a beige Luo skirt, combed high cloud temples, and wore a Qizhai crown that symbolized the identity of the side concubine, which was not plain and not bright.
The two of them took a two-ride sedan chair and followed behind Chu Zhaohui's Yunluo warm sedan chair, out of Hanzhang Palace, and the group slowly marched in the direction of Shoukang Palace.
In Shoukang Palace, Queen Chu and her children had already arrived early, and they were gathering around the Queen Mother.
The children were talking and laughing, making the imperial grandmother happy, but Murong Wei's dream was still in the ears of Queen Chu, although she was smiling, she seemed a little absent-minded.
The queen mother changed into a newly made warm green silk brocade curtain embroidered with five blessings holding longevity flowers, and a yellow multicolored silk horse-faced skirt, sitting cross-legged on the couch, playing with a Ganoderma lucidum-shaped Hetian jade Ruyi that she liked in the past.
His consciousness was restored, and his spirit was much better. The Queen Mother listened to the laughter of the juniors under the seat, and the wrinkles on her face stretched out, adding a bit of ordinary casualness to her grace.
When Chu Zhaohui entered the palace, he was greeted by the kind smile of the queen mother.
He had not entered the palace for most of the month, and seeing that his mother was more energetic than in the past, Chu Zhaohui was secretly happy in his heart, suppressed the sorrow of her husband's death, and asked her mother for peace with a smile, and Su Duhan also greeted everyone one by one.
I heard my sister say that the queen mother changed to a doctor, and she looks really good today.
Chu Zhaohui saluted, sat on the rose chair on his mother's left, and then asked earnestly: "Is the queen mother always good?" ”
The eldest daughter carefully put on makeup, with an apricot face and pink cheeks, snow-skinned sideburns, and a hibiscus hairpin obliquely pressed, covering her haggard face these days, and still having the good appearance of her youth.
Qiao Huanxia looked at the vermilion curtain on Chu Zhaohui's body, and felt deep regret in her heart. Since it is her daughter's good intentions, she doesn't want her to add to the sorrow of the white-haired person to the black-haired person, so she leads her daughter's friendship and does not expose it.
Chu Zhaohui forced a smile, looked at the queen mother's dress, praised the queen mother's beautiful clothes today, lined up much younger, turned around and said a few words of gossip with Queen Chu, and went to look at a few juniors who were having fun.
The queen mother's color is ruddy, and she is more blessed than usual, and beckons to her eldest daughter: "Come and sit next to the queen mother, why have you been reduced these days, you should make up for it." The queen mother is using this doctor well, and she will ask her to prescribe a nourishing prescription for you. ”
Summoned Su Duhan to his eyes again, lamenting his loss of his father but unable to say it clearly, and looked at him lovingly: "Twilight Han has grown taller again, more handsome than before." Knowing that you came today, the imperial grandmother specially kept the tribute melon for you, and didn't let Ah Wei and the others eat it greedily. ”
While speaking, the Queen Mother instructed Mama Bai to fetch it, and Mama Bai agreed with a smile, and her face was as bright as a chrysanthemum.
The imperial grandmother was so sick that she still remembered that she loved to eat melon. Su Duhan's heart ached, there was a moment of softness, and then it was slowly covered by cold and hard hatred, showing a smile that was no different from the past, and sat next to the imperial grandmother.
Murong Wei had already met with her aunt and was laughing around her. Watching coldly, seeing that Su Duhan was still filial, he personally added tea and sent it to the Queen Mother, peeled pecans for her, and smiled warmly at the Queen Mother: "This season's melons are not easy to get, and the imperial grandmother loves her grandson." ”
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, and looked at the people in the hall with a smile, showing a satisfied look.
Su Duhan's eyes turned slightly, swept past everyone's faces, and met Murong Wei's gaze, which was as warm as the morning sun in March in an instant, and called out in a warm voice: "Ah Wei."
Murong Wei got up and saluted back, and replied to her cousin in a low voice, with a touch of blush on her face, like rouge smudging, and like the sun flying all over the sky. As soon as her eyes collided with Su Duhan, she lowered her head slightly, only wrapping around the belt of her clothes and playing with a few rice beads on it.
Chu Zhaohui was busy with the funeral for several days, and his spirit was very poor, so he had already forgotten about the promise to embroider a skirt for Murong Wei, and today when he saw her wrapping around the clothes belt, he remembered that there was another such thing.
Chu Zhaohui looked at Murong Wei apologetically, and said to her: "Ah Wei, it's all my aunt's, I forgot the skirt I promised you, and I haven't embroidered it yet, and when you are born in June, my aunt will definitely not break her promise." ”
My aunt is now a new widow, and Murong Wei naturally knows that she doesn't like to touch those gorgeous colors, so how can she be willing to let her aunt embroider those garnet red and carmine for herself.
Murong Wei ate the pine nuts peeled from the tassels, and first turned her head and smiled: "Fortunately, my aunt didn't embroider, and Ah Wei doesn't like those colors now." By June, I had already changed my summer shirt, so I might as well ask my aunt to make a wide-sleeved Luo shirt with blue sky and water, and embroider a few pink and white roses, which just matched my moon-white skirt with silver thread. ”
Queen Chu knew her daughter's intentions, so she tapped at her, and said angrily: "Obviously begging your aunt, but I want to make some new looks", turned her head and said to Chu Zhaohui: "Sister, don't get used to her, she doesn't look serious." ”
Chu Zhaohui has always treated Murong Wei as both a daughter and a daughter-in-law, naturally how to look at it and how satisfied, and seeing that Murong Wei is sympathetic to herself, she can't hear her niece's heart, and she cherishes it even more in her heart.
Chu Zhaohui pushed the melon fruit plate that had just been served in front of Murong Wei, stroked her hair and said with a smile: "Luo Yi is easier to embroider than a skirt, but the color of Tianshui Bi is too plain, my aunt will make you a Tianshui Bi, and then embroider a sunset red, Tianshui Bi will be as you said, sunset red, let's mix it with gold carving thread, embroider some large goose yellow Wei Zi, the delicate and tender color is the best match for our Ah Wei's good appearance." ”
"One piece is good, Ah Wei is still growing now, this year's summer shirt may not be suitable for next year, it's a pity that my aunt's good work", Murong Wei forked the thinly sliced melon on the plate with a silver skewer, handed it to her aunt, and said obediently.
Su Duhan listened to the answer between his mother and Murong Wei, and was a little stunned for a while, and when he heard the emperor's grandmother call his name again, pointing to the plate of melons, he pursed his lips and smiled and forked a piece.
