264. Before getting married

The ever-bright lights emitted a dim light, and the palace people who entered and exited were obviously cautious, for fear that the wind would blow out the lights when walking. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

All kinds of pastries and dried fruits were placed on the table, and the eunuchs with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes were scattered around the main hall, bowing their heads and saying nothing.

The queen wore heavy makeup today, wearing a phoenix crown, wearing a red glow, under the costume, her beautiful figure looked a little bloated, the queen's court dress, the queen has always disliked to wear it, but this day is different, to entertain the new Qianyun county lord in Beijing.

It is said that this Qianyun county lord has something to do with the imperial court, anyway, it is very unusual. The queen mother is sympathetic to the emperor's hard work, so she naturally has to share some of it for him. Although she can't entertain the high king, it is also in line with her identity to make this guest of honor in Qianyun County.

Outside this Kunning Palace, there is a white snow, the snow covers a lot of places, originally the eunuchs wanted to sweep away, but the queen seems to be quite fond of this snow, so she deliberately let people stay, but the roads leading to the palace are clean.

After a while, a eunuch finally trotted to the outside of Kunning Palace, and said in a long voice: "Niangniang, the county lord has passed Lanting Zhai." ”

The queen's voice came from the palace, saying, "Go and welcome, good life and wait." ”

"Yes."

The harem is full of trees and flowers, but in winter, all the trees wither, if it is not for this snow decoration, it is easy to show a little dilapidation, the roads everywhere, everywhere are eunuchs and palace people walking around in twos and threes, but today, it is obviously different, these minions are obviously much faster than before, and even walk with their heads down and steps past, not daring to make a little sound.

"This is the palace?" Ren Shiting's face was full of longing, she cautiously followed behind the county lord of Qianyun, followed suit, raised her little face and looked around, if it was seen by the big eunuchs of the prisons. will definitely scold her for not knowing the rules, but at this time. Gonggong Jiang, the chief eunuch of the internal official and eunuch who led the way, obviously did not mean to scold, but said with a smile while leading the way: "Of course this is the palace, and Niangniang is inside." ”

Ren Shiting snorted. There are also eunuchs in Prince Jing's Mansion, but the eunuchs in Prince Jing's Mansion are obviously much more vicious than the eunuchs here, how did she know that it is not that there are likes and dislikes between eunuchs, but now and now. Bai Liyun's identity is different, or rather, in Prince Jing's Mansion, the county lord is just a county lord, but here. The county lord has become a distinguished guest, and the affection of the clan is naturally exquisite.

"Lord, look. The snow is so beautiful. Ren Shiting couldn't help but scream happily.

There was no smile on the face of Bai Liyun, the county lord of Qianyun. That delicate face was still like a glacier, and the lotus feet under the skirt walked forward lightly without saying a word.

Oncoming. But it was a woman in a brute costume, wearing a fox fur. It seems that he has been waiting here for a long time, and when Gonggong Jiang, who was leading the way in front, saw it, he hurriedly saluted and said, "The slave has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"Get up, who wants you to salute?" Duoduo put on light makeup, looked arrogant, put her hands behind her back, it was also stunning, but it was a little more flamboyant than Bailiyun, a pair of eyes looked Bailiyun up and down, and said, "You are the county lord of Qianyun?" ”

Bai Liyun hurriedly blessed her body and said, "Have you seen Her Royal Highness the Princess?" ”

Ren Shiting was also panicked and hurriedly saluted.

Duoduo wrinkled her nose and said, "I said that I don't need to salute, I'm just here to take a look." Then his face was a little unsightly: "It turns out that my cousin is so good-looking, but it is cheaper than that kid." ”

Then he knew what was good, so he snorted: "Okay, I'm leaving, Gonggong Jiang will talk to the queen mother later, and say that I won't eat in Kunning Palace at noon." ”

Duo Duo said, hurriedly left, and when a building blocked Bai Liyun and the others, Duo Duo couldn't help but caress his little chest, and couldn't help but speak, as if he was taking an adventure.

Bai Liyun and his entourage, when they arrived at Kunning Palace, Gonggong Jiang went in first to say goodbye, and the queen quickly moved, and said, "Please come in." ”

Ren Shiting couldn't go in, she could only wait outside, Baili Yunlian walked into the hall, and saw the queen sitting on the bed, dressed in court clothes, with a graceful face, immediately bent down and said lightly: "I've seen the queen." ”

The queen couldn't help but smile and said, "Get up, come, sit next to the palace, and let the palace take a good look at you." ”

Bai Liyun got up, walked over, sat down on a brocade pier next to the bed, and said, "Xie Niangniang." ”

The queen couldn't help laughing and said: "This child really deserves to be born in Prince Jing's mansion, so sensible, but when he comes here, he has to be like his own home, and there are not so many rules." ”

The queen is not a stupid woman, knowing that the emperor wants to alienate the relationship between Bailiyun and **, so he deliberately said that it was the child of Prince Jing. But when she said home, Bai Liyun's face flashed a trace of gloom, to her, the word home, how unfamiliar, Prince Jing's Mansion was her home, what was the result? Later, Prince Jing's Mansion was also her home, but this home was even more lonely and indifferent.

Seeing that Bai Liyun didn't speak, the queen couldn't help but smile and said: "Come and eat some dried fruits, in the winter, there are fewer fresh vegetables and fruits, these dried fruits are from Lingnan tribute, and the taste is quite delicious, you can eat some." ”

Although Bai Liyun didn't make a sound, she was very obedient, and obediently took a dried fruit from the bronze carved pot and put it in the mouth of the cherry.

The queen looked at her and said, "How does it taste?" ”

Bai Liyun nodded: "Okay." ”

When she meets someone, she always seems to be a little wary, and it is even more so in this palace, which makes the queen a little embarrassed, and the ordinary women who enter the palace are also shy, but the mouth is sweeter than the other, and when it comes to Bailiyun, it seems that there is a meaning of turning people away from the whole body, such people are difficult to deal with.

It's just that since she was invited, she couldn't help but speak, and the queen couldn't help but smile and said: "Eat more if it's delicious, yes, the palace will take you to the imperial garden to enjoy the snow later, I don't know where the girl Duoduo went, with her more, it's good for the two of you sisters to be close." ”

Speaking of appreciating the snow, Bai Liyun couldn't help frowning slightly.

This casual action, but the queen sees it in her eyes, the woman's heart is careful, not to mention that the queen has long been secretly looking at this county lord, to be honest, Bai Liyun's first impression on her is not so good, she always feels that she is indifferent, the queen can't help but say: "What? It turns out that Qian Yun doesn't like to see snow? ”

Bai Liyun was silent for a moment before saying, "Hmm." ”

The queen felt a little strange, she had seen a lot of people, from nobles to women, and those of the younger generation, there were really few who didn't love snow, so she couldn't help asking, "Oh? Why is that? Originally, when she asked this sentence, the queen regretted it a little, after all, as the queen of the world, it was a bit rude to ask this.

Bai Liyun raised her face, she couldn't see any expression fluctuations on her delicate face, but said lightly: "It's snowing, and people in rags are going to be frozen." ”

The queen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

She couldn't imagine that such a county lord would answer such a sentence, in fact, this sentence seems to be familiar to the queen, her husband, Baili Tianheng, the son of the Sunset Country, also hates snow, saying that every time it snows, it will inevitably cause many Li people to suffer, and some people will starve and freeze. But the emperor said this, it can be said that the emperor loves the people, but such a county lord said this kind of thing, but it was a bit incredible, the queen couldn't help but think: "This county lord, it seems that it is not simple, look at her speech and behavior, but like a person who has experienced something." ”

At this time, she was a little kinder, nodded and said: "What you said is not wrong, but this palace heard that in the vicinity of Gyeonggi, the life of the people is still passable, although it has snowed a few times in the past few days, I have never heard of any cold." ”

Bai Liyun said: "The courtier is talking about Nanchang Mansion. ”

The queen suddenly understood, couldn't help sighing, and said, "It's rare that you have this thought." So he dispelled the idea of going to see the snow scene, and couldn't help but say funny: "You are a county lord, but you know the general situation, but this palace, you are the honor of the mother of the country, but you lack words and deeds." ”

Bai Liyun shook her head and said: "Niangniang is benevolent, the courtiers have already heard of it, but Niangniang has never seen the ragged victims." ”

The queen couldn't help nodding and said with a smile: "Sure enough, she is a sensible girl, married to Ren Xiaoyao, but it is cheap for that kid." ”

Bai Liyun heard Ren Xiaoyao again at this time, but there was no change in emotion on her face, and after listening to it too much, she gradually became numb, even if it was her future husband, she would not have much to deal with in the future anyway.

The queen saw Bai Liyun's face so calm, and felt more and more strange, only felt that the temperament of this county lord was really strange, other women heard their future husbands, some were shy, some were angry, whether they wanted to or not, they would always have a rich expression, but it was this Bai Liyun, but it was like hearing the name of a stranger, this Qianyun County was mainly scheming, or it was a great concentration.

"You have come all the way into Beijing, the emperor and the palace mean, is that there are many people outside, before getting married, simply move to the palace to live, anyway, they are all their own family, it doesn't matter, the emperor is sympathetic and cares for you, has ordered someone to clean up a palace, what is missing, although and the palace said, yes, you have lived in Nanchang for several years, it is said that there is a place where the four seasons are like spring, the palace called people to go to the treasury to select some tributes sent from Jiangxi, give them to you, you just control, don't think about anything else, the palace in the harem is rarely spoken, free, just come to the palace here to talk, okay? ”

The queen's mouth was to ask Bai Liyun for advice, but she had already explained in her words that the emperor had asked people to clean up an attic, and the palace had prepared everything used, and there was no possibility of refusal at this time.

Bai Liyun bit her lip and seemed to hesitate for a moment, which made the queen angry and funny, this girl really didn't know how to raise a cautious temperament.

Bai Liyun pondered for a moment before saying, "Thank you for the grace of the emperor and Niangniang." ”

That's what you can think of as a promise. The queen smiled, but at this time she had a good impression of Bailiyun, although she didn't like to talk very much, and she was a little cautious, but her manners were quite decent.

She couldn't help but say: "When you enter the palace, you don't have to be restrained, Duoduo is the same age as you, you are together, you also have a companion, yes, stay later, and dine with the palace." After that, he instructed the palace people and said, "Make more ** dishes, the county lord of the province is not used to eating." ”

She was so considerate, but she was a little uncomfortable teaching Bailiyun, and said busily: "Niangniang, I don't like to eat ** dishes." ”

The queen was slightly stunned, and then smiled again: "The palace almost forgot, you are a pseudo-Four Seasons County, and the Shang Shan Supervisor is said to also have a Four Seasons Imperial Chef, yes, ask him to cook a few more Four Seasons County dishes." ”

Bai Liyun still shook her head: "I don't like the Four Seasons County cuisine, I just follow my mother's wishes." ”

If it was someone else, maybe the queen would have been a little displeased, but Bai Liyun's excuse seemed to have a different meaning, the queen frowned slightly, and said, "Oh? This is strange, how can there be a reason not to like the food of your hometown? ”

The queen is also a smart person, and when she asked about Bai Liyun's mother, she was probably thinking, presumably her mother was not from Kaifeng, so what she usually eats may not be Kaifeng dishes, and this little girl's habits are mostly influenced by her mother.

The queen thinks so, but also to live with herself, her ancestral home is in Shandong, so even if she enters the palace, her usual food also has a bit of Shandong's characteristics.

When Bai Liyun heard the word concubine, her eyes were a little red, and she choked up after a long time: "The concubine of the courtier's mother has long since passed away, and she was also from Kaifeng in the past. ”

Hearing this, the queen suddenly woke up, and suddenly remembered Baili Yun's life experience, in fact, the background of the county lord of Qianyun had already been reported to her, but she didn't care much at the time, but now that she thought about it, she immediately guessed a few points, Prince Jing died, presumably she was not happy with her concubine, and was later taken to Nanchang Mansion, King Ning was probably just to gain a reputation and take people away, not necessarily how good it was to her, no wonder her temperament is so rusty, a motherless child, tossing around, Although it is said that it is a noble world and has no worries about food and clothing, but the family affection is weak, but it is also very pitiful.

The queen has no mother since she was a child, her father is a prisoner, after losing her wife, Suo Xing took her and her two younger brothers to Beijing to study hard, but she failed several times, and her mind was all on reading, this queen was young, relying on a little rice grain from the court to his father, and brought up the two younger brothers, and only later made a trace, at this time, I couldn't help but say: "The child has no mother, I don't know how difficult it is, poor Baba, I don't even have a confidant, no wonder you are so silent." ”

When these words came to Bai Liyun's heart, tears couldn't help but roll in his eyes, but there was no squeak.

The queen also caressed her back lovingly: "I don't have many heirs, but I see that you like it very much, it's better to be like this, from now on, you will be my adopted daughter, and you can also come to the palace more in the future and talk to me." She blurted out these words, and soon, she seemed to become firm, and seemed to have some persistence for this bold idea, and then said: "Where is the emperor?" ”

The palace said: "Your Majesty is inviting the high king to dinner at the banquet. ”

The queen said: "I will mention this matter to the emperor, Qian Yun, are you willing?" ”

Bai Liyun heard that she was taken in as an adopted daughter, but she was silent, she also had an experience of being adopted by King Ning once, but the situation was not good, not that King Ning was mean to her, but she just entered Prince Jing's Mansion, although it was the same as Prince Jing's Mansion, but the people around her were still indifferent. She also wanted to agree impulsively at this time, at least the queen was more kind than Princess Ning, but after being hurt once, how could she be willing to trust others at will, hesitated for a moment, and said: "The mother is loved, and the courtiers are in mind, but I am afraid that I can't climb high." ”

But the queen smiled and said, "What are these words?" Your surname is Zhu, I am the queen, King Ning can be adopted, can't this palace be impossible? Besides, this time you arrived in Beijing, you have to live in Beijing in the future, with this title, you can also move around more, it's all your mother's family, when you enter the palace, you are not as old as you, there are two brothers in your mother's family, there is nothing, this taste is not good. This is decided, I will tell the emperor later, and the emperor will definitely be happy. ”

Bai Liyun had no choice but to rely on it and said, "Xie Niangniang." ”

The queen bit her lip and smiled: "You want to call the queen mother." ”

Baili Yun hesitated and didn't know what to do, but the queen couldn't help but smile: "Everything has to come slowly, yes, come here for dinner later, now the palace will teach someone to send you to settle down, and then I will call someone to invite you." ”

She made up her mind, so she called a eunuch and asked someone to lead Bai Liyun to her residence, and Bai Liyun got up to say goodbye.

When Bai Liyun left, the chief eunuch Jiang Gonggong, who was still standing on the side, couldn't help but say happily: "Congratulations to Niangniang for having another pearl in her palm." (To be continued.) )
