Empress Dowager Gao sat on a carved sandalwood chair with colorful phoenix peony and looked out from time to time.

I heard a long voice from the little eunuch guarding outside: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess Minyuan, Lord Xue Shangshu has arrived." ”

A woman next to her hurriedly helped her up, and when the Empress Dowager Gao saw the four of them enter the main hall, she greeted her.

She has a white face, a high nose bridge, bright eyes, a cloud brocade gown with crow blue crane and fairy grass, a skirt with indigo square sheng pattern underneath, a regular high bun on her head, and a royal blue forehead inlaid with white chalcedony.

Everyone saluted according to the rules, and the Empress Dowager Gao was busy saying goodbye. Seeing Min Yuan's red eyes, she also sighed in her heart, patted her daughter's hand, looked at Yi Ying, and had a loving smile on her face: "You are Zhaoyuan, right?"

Yiying raised her head, looked at the Empress Dowager Gao, and bent down again: "The unfilial granddaughter Zhaoyuan visited her grandmother." ”

Empress Dowager Gao's nose was sour when she heard this, and she hugged Yiying and cried. Yiying's heart shook slightly, in her previous life, she was not very close to this grandmother. Since Empress Dowager Gao learned that she had become Xu Xian's wife, her eyes were full of disappointment and even contempt when she looked at her, she felt that this was Empress Dowager Gao's contempt for her as a superior, and she couldn't accept it.

But at this moment, she hugged herself, but she was like an ordinary elder who felt sorry for the junior.

She suddenly thought about it, there must be a love for her ancestors and grandchildren, but in her previous life, she disappeared for more than ten years, and when she met again, she looked unwilling to get close to others, which inevitably hurt the old man's heart. As for contempt, it should also be deserved. Empress Dowager Gao struggled in the harem for most of her life before she got through, and her mother, Princess Min Yuan, didn't know how much bullying and suffering she had suffered, and she had never lost her royal dignity, and she was just a big maid for a few years without worrying about food and clothing, so she was willing to succumb to the daughter of a fourth-grade official, and in front of a shameful wife, she couldn't support the wall with mud, and she was even more stupid than Zhao Qingyi, who would only make the means of seeing the light.

Fortunately, she now has the opportunity to do it all over again, and she doesn't want to let any of her relatives down with her.

The two cried for a while before they stopped, and the woman standing next to them hurriedly called for someone to bring water and clean their faces.

After tossing for a while, Empress Dowager Gao remembered, pointed to the woman and said to Yiying: "This is your cousin Anyang." ”

It is clear that this is the daughter of the Empress Yuan, the sister of the third prince, and the princess Li Yun of Anyang, who has been raised in Cining Palace.

The two sisters both saw the ceremony, and everyone sat down one after another.

Min Yuan smiled and took An Yang's hand and said with a smile: "An Yang will get married in a month." ”

Princess Anyang is tall, her eyebrows are very heroic, although she is not the color of the city, but she has a unique charm, her cheeks are crimson when she hears this, and her voice is like a mosquito: "...... yes, yes......"

Empress Dowager Gao and Min Yuan laughed together. Empress Dowager Gao said: "This child is older, and he knows that he is ashamed." ”

An Yang glanced at Empress Dowager Xiao: "Grandmother ......" Obviously, the relationship between the two is very good.

Xue Licheng became happy when he heard this: "Grandmother, I am my cousin's younger brother, let me go and guard the door then, it will definitely make the master of the horse so anxious that he stomps his feet." ”

There is a custom among the people that when a boudoir woman gets married, her brother can guard her at the second gate, test the knowledge of the groom officer, and let him in to marry the bride only after answering correctly. Generally speaking, it all depends on the other party's knowledge, if it is a scholarly family, it will ask some tricky places, and if it is a military general, it will ask a few questions casually.

Xue Wenfu glanced at his son: "With your knowledge, you dare to be ashamed to take the school Lin Gongzi, it's good not to be played by your cousin-in-law as a monkey." Xue Licheng hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to answer, he really didn't have much interest in dancing and writing, and he just thought it was interesting to mention this. Seeing this, Xue Wenfu only smiled and shook his head helplessly, his son just doesn't make people worry.

Lin Gongzi? Yi Ying's heart moved, isn't it Lin Yanyu, the youngest son of Lin Zhonghai, who is rumored to be able to write poems at the age of six? In her previous life, she didn't pay attention to whether this princess of Anyang was married to this family, but I only heard that she had a good relationship between husband and wife after marriage, and she hugged both of them for three years, and she was liked by her in-laws and her husband, and she was a model of the noble ladies circle in the capital.

Empress Dowager Gao smiled and joked to Xue Licheng: "You know it clearly." It's just that I'm going to disappoint you, but our royal family doesn't follow the folk set. ”

Xue Licheng looked disappointed when he heard this, and what was he about to say, he heard a report outside: "The emperor has arrived!"

Everyone laughed and stood up, only the Empress Dowager Gao sat on the sandalwood chair.

"Excuse me, I heard that Zhaoyuan has returned to Beijing, so I came to see my niece. "Nanming Li Yue is a middle-aged man who looks like he is in his thirties, with excellent spirits, a slightly blessed body, and a very emperor-like appearance. He smiled loudly, asked everyone to get up, and stepped forward to greet the Empress Dowager Gao.

When he saw Yiying, he said strangely: "This is Zhaoyuan, right? Tong Minyuan was born with seven or eight points when he was a child." ”

Empress Dowager Gao answered with a smile: "Why don't you just seven or eight points? Minyuan is now looking different, and the mourning family looks like nine points." ”

"That's what the Queen Mother said. He nodded, and asked, "If you have anything you want, just say it, and I will get it from the treasury." ”

Min Yuan covered his mouth and smiled: "Brother Huang, how does she know what you have in that treasury? You have to give her what you think is valuable to be sincere, right?"

"You girl, you are the mother of two children, and you are still so naughty. The emperor shook his head helplessly, but with a hint of pampering. He thought for a moment and said, "I remember that last month, there was a set of silver-and-white vermilion flowers, a twenty-four dense wooden cabinet with red sandalwood carvings, and a sterling silver ivory mirror frame with relief all over the floor, all of which were the most exquisite things. You just came back, I'm afraid you still lack these things, how about it?" The last half of the sentence was directed at Min Yuan.

Min Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Huang is really a miser, I still remember the things of last month so clearly." Seeing that the emperor's face was about to be tight, he said to Yiying: "Yuanyuan, aren't you grateful?"

Yiying thanked him happily, and the emperor nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Xue Wenfu: "Wenfu, how is the dam in Huguang repaired?"

Xue Wenfu responded a few words in an ominous manner, and the Empress Dowager Gao also understood, and said with a smile when she saw this: "Let's go to your imperial study to talk about business, let's gossip freely." ”

The emperor smiled and left with Xue Wenfu.

It's just that it didn't take long for the little eunuch outside to pinch his throat and say, "The third prince has arrived." Yiying couldn't help but look outside.
