At the end of the Shen period, Qin Yue returned to the Guogong Mansion through the back door, and the people in the mansion were still busy and hurried, all making final preparations for tomorrow's big event.

Therefore, Qin Yue returned to Haoyue Pavilion very smoothly.

After hastily freshening up, and just after changing clothes, I saw my mother enter the yard, followed by several maids.

"Yue'er, come here, my mother has something to tell you!" Qin's third wife, Jiang Shi, sat on the Luohan bed by herself, and beckoned to her with a smile.

The maid in the house hurriedly came over to salute, and someone went to make tea to entertain the hostess.

Qin Yue obediently walked over, sat down next to her mother, and then raised her crystal eyes, and asked with a smile, "Mother, what's the matter?" ”

Jiang took his daughter's hand and asked her to get closer, her eyes were full of doting, "It's nothing, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I think about it in a panic...... And wow, Ming'er, your fourth aunt is back to the province, you must be good. Alas, I don't know why, every time I see my mother, you are always unfavorable, which makes me feel like this, and I am also up and down. ”

Jiang frowned slightly, looking a little distressed.

The daughter is notoriously smart and liked by the whole family. As a mother, she is naturally happy, but unfortunately she clashes with the emperor and queen in the palace, and every time she enters the palace to face the saint, there will always be such and such accidents.

Jiang Shi was immersed in his worries for a while, and didn't notice that the light in Qin Yue's eyes had dimmed a little, so he raised his head again and said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, I'll be fine." ”

The queen mother returned to her hometown to save her relatives, which is the glory of the Qin family.

In the past few days, the Qin State Mansion has been busy day by day, and the masters have been busy discussing where to change clothes, where to sit, where to receive gifts, where to have a banquet, and where to retreat. It is also necessary to arrange various matters such as guarding and blocking fences.

The stewards were busy arranging the furnishings of the courtyards, purchasing fine wine and delicacies, inviting acrobatic troupes to perform in the house, and repeatedly telling the people in the house the rules and etiquette, and carefully considering everything until it was confirmed that there was no omission or impropriety.

Early the next morning, there were officers sent by officials to clean the streets and chase away idlers. The streets and alleys were all under martial law to prevent assassination, and both sides were full of soldiers with weapons in their hands.

At that time, the dragon and phoenix were everywhere in the Qin State Mansion, gold and silver were shining, the streamer was radiant, the fragrance of the lily was burned, and the fragrant stamen was inserted in the bottle, and the indescribable wealth and wealth were flowing.

Just after the hour, the middle door of the Qin State Mansion was wide open, and everyone was wearing makeup according to the product, looking solemn, waiting at the gate early, waiting for the honor guard of the queen to enter the house.

About a quarter of an hour later, the sound of horses' hooves was faintly heard, and in a short time four inner supervisors were panting and urging the horses to come. Then there was the sound of neat footsteps, and after a while, I saw a group of royal forest soldiers coming on horseback, and then a long guard of honor for the emperor and queen.

A pair of dragons and phoenixes, pheasant feathers, and a gold furnace burning incense, and then a crank seven phoenix golden umbrella over, and there are internal supervisors on duty holding incense beads, embroidered handkerchiefs, gargles, dust and other things.

Qin Guogong was taken aback when he saw this scene, and hurriedly asked the inner supervisor who arrived first, "Gonggong Ma, is the emperor also here?" ”

When the eunuch known as "Ma Gonggong" heard this, he arched his hand at him and said with a flattering smile: "Isn't it? The emperor is magnificent, and today he specially accompanied the queen to save her relatives. Grandpa Guo, congratulations! As he spoke, he bowed to all around.

He didn't say it loudly, but it was enough for those present to hear it clearly.

In the crowd, Qin Yue stood silently in the corner, her eyes were obscure, revealing mockery and sadness that were extremely inconsistent with her age. Although she is deeply loved by the emperor and queen, she has not had the opportunity to see Long Yan since she was born. Only at the palace banquet two years ago, I saw the queen's mother from afar.

It's not that the emperor doesn't want to see her, but whenever the emperor has a will to summon her, she always falls ill by coincidence. The body of the patient is naturally inconvenient to see the face of the sky. Today, I'm afraid I can't hide from it.

Qin Yue sighed heavily in his heart.

"It's coming, it's coming! The Holy Driver is here! ”

The little guy sent to inquire about the news came back sweating profusely.

And everybody looked out of the gate.

After the long guard of honor, it was the emperor Luan who came belatedly, each with eight good horses pulling, eight inner supervisors carrying, left and right followed by sixteen palace laves, sixteen grandmothers, several inner eunuchs, and a group of people came in a majestic manner.

Qin Guogong hurriedly led everyone to kneel and salute. The sedan chair paused slightly, and a majestic voice came from the carriage: "Let's all be flat!" ”

Subsequently, the sedan chair set off, slowly drove into the gate, entered the instrument door to the east, stopped in front of the gate of Qifeng Courtyard, and there were attendants and inner supervisors pulling the curtain to surround the sedan chair that the emperor and queen were riding, and Gong E stepped forward to help the emperor and queen to get down, and entered Qifeng Courtyard to change clothes and rest.

The palace people who came with the emperor and queen, and the stewards of their own state mansions entertained wine and dinner.

In the middle of the night, Emperor Wan Xuan, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and Empress Xianjing, who was wearing a nine-pearl phoenix crown, walked into Hong'en Hall together.

Qin Guogong led everyone to wait there early, and knelt down to salute again, "Minister Qin Sheng and his family, visit the emperor and the queen, I wish my emperor long live, long live the queen, long live the queen!" ”

The emperor walked up to Qin Guogong, Jun had a smile on his face, stretched out his hand to help him, and said loudly: "Qin Qing, I am a family meeting today, don't be polite!" Let's all go flat! ”

The Emperor spoke, scanning the audience with his eyes sharply, and then sat down on the main seat of the Hong'en Hall, and the Empress smiled and gossiped a few words with the Duchess of the Kingdom, and sat down next to the Emperor.

The emperor raised his head slightly and said with a smile: "Your own people, sit down." I and Zijun miss the food in the house very much, this is specially to fight the autumn wind. ”

When the Emperor finished speaking, he laughed heartily. Obviously, in a good mood.

The others laughed with the emperor.

Qin Yue pursed her lips tightly, her small body shrunk in the corner, trying to reduce her sense of storage.

However, it didn't work out.

After a few gossips among the monarchs and ministers, the emperor mentioned Qin Yue, "Oh, Zijun, why didn't you see your blessed little niece?" ”

Qin Yue's heart tightened.

Next to her, the Jiang clan immediately pulled her to kneel down and said, "The courtiers brought the little daughter Qin Yue to see Your Majesty." ”

Qin Yue hung her head and knelt on the ground following her mother's gestures, the mockery in her eyes was even stronger.

The Emperor sat high above her and looked at her carefully. The girl in front of her was wearing a pink and purple skirt, with a double bun on her head, a bright ring around her neck, and a jasper bracelet on her left and right wrists. But the girl who is only six years old has such a moving posture!

It's a pity that Qin Yue always hangs her head, so he can't get a glimpse of her face.

However, for some reason, his heart suddenly shook greatly, as if he had touched some hidden pain, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Seeing that her daughter kept her head down and didn't speak, Jiang didn't have time to reprimand, so she hurriedly spoke out to relieve the siege: "The little girl is a little timid when she sees the holy face for the first time, please forgive me!" ”

Only then did the emperor come back to his senses and joke as if nothing was wrong: "I'm not a man-eating tiger, what's so scary?" Fifth sister, don't be afraid, I like you-" As she spoke, she said to the servant beside her: "Message: Qin Yue, the fifth daughter of the Jin Qin clan, is the county lord and is titled Chun!" ”

One sentence stirred up a thousand waves.

Accidentally! What a surprise!

The Qin family members present were all surprised and stunned on the spot.

It was Qin Guogong who was the first to react, and he wanted to lead everyone to kneel on the ground to thank him.

Qin Yue was also a little surprised, but he didn't have much joy. The long eyelashes flashed a few times, and he raised his head unhurriedly, looked directly at Emperor Wan Xuan, who was sitting upright, and said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant: "Wait!" The courtiers are stubborn, offending His Majesty's holy face, and dare not accept the seal, and ask His Majesty to take back his life! ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present changed.

The emperor's expression was even more stunned.

You must know that Emperor Wan Xuan was extremely cautious and did not favor his vassals. This time to accompany the queen back to her hometown and relatives, it was just a whim; When I saw that little person, I wanted to entitle her for some reason, but I was unexpectedly rejected in person.

This is really a slap in the face!

Emperor Wan Xuan squinted slightly and looked at her quietly again.

Qin Yue was stubborn, raised his head and looked at him bravely.

Emperor Wan Xuan suddenly felt a pain again, and the pain seemed to gush out from the depths of his heart, and it seeped into his internal organs in an instant, making his face pale in pain, and he couldn't change his expression for a long time.
