In addition to going to the queen every day to ask for peace, Jiang Suoyue almost stayed at home, and because she had not yet slept in the palace, no one deliberately embarrassed her when she met everyone in the harem in Qifeng Palace, so she passed calmly for a few days. I only heard that the jade concubine has been favored, has been promoted to Jieyu, and has received a lot of rewards from the emperor and the queen, and she is in the limelight for a while, and she is really the first person among the newcomers.

The status is precious, the canonization grade is high, and it is easy to attract the attention of the emperor after entering the palace, and it is not a problem to rise step by step. Even if she doesn't attract the attention of the emperor, she will be summoned first because of her higher grade, and she will be preemptively attacked, so that she will have the upper hand.

Luo Ning's favor was already expected by Jiang Suoyue, she has outstanding appearance, comparable to Concubine Shu and Yao Zhaoyi, and has a good background, it is impossible for such a woman to be ignored by the emperor. Because she had expected it, Jiang Suoyue was very calm in her heart, but Pearl Liuli and the others were a little disappointed, and often looked at her worriedly.

In the past few days of leisure, Jiang Suoyue suddenly remembered that the Queen Mother had asked her to move around more, and it was difficult for her to do anything, even if she was really secretly wary of the Queen Mother's overtures, she didn't dare not take this matter to heart. She has been resting for a few days, and if she doesn't go, I'm afraid that the queen mother will think that she doesn't know how to lift, so she asked Pearl and Coral to serve her to freshen up a little and change into the big clothes that go out.

Because I want to see the Queen Mother, I must dress up solemnly and exquisitely, not too bright and enchanting. Jiang Suoyue pointed to a violet Ruyi pattern Hunan silk straight-fitting gown, and below it was a tunic skirt with light purple and nearly white snow yarn. Three-foot green silk with the cloud bun, with red gold inlaid with emerald butterfly wings, this hairpin is also customized by her at home, the magic is to wrap the gold wire into a spring, the butterfly dotted on it, the butterfly flutters slightly when walking, as if flying, different from the rigidity of the general butterfly hairpin.

Jiang Suoyue pointed to the sapphire cloisonné gentleman orchid sideburns in the box again, and the pearl understood and took it out to put it in her sideburns.

Looking in the mirror, Jiang Suoyue nodded with satisfaction, fresh and exquisite, presumably in line with the Queen Mother's mind.

packed up, and asked Pearl to hold the Buddhist scriptures copied a few days ago, and took her to Ci'an Palace.

~~~~~~~~~ dividing line ~~~~~~~~~~

When I arrived at Ci'an Palace, it was rumored that it was Mama Wei who came out to greet her in person, which made Jiang Suoyue more and more puzzled in her heart, it seems that the Queen Mother does have the intention of being polite to her, otherwise she would not send her cronies to come out to greet her, but where did the Queen Mother's kindness come from, she can't help but ask her to think about it.

Entered the main hall and drank tea for a while. The Queen Mother was helped out by Mama Wei, and I saw that she was still dressed as plain as the first time she invited An, wearing a homely stone blue Tuanfu wide-sleeved satin shirt, and only a jade hairpin with a blue sky longevity pattern on her head.

Jiang Suoyue hurriedly saluted and offered the copied Buddhist scriptures.

The Queen Mother took the Buddhist scriptures and looked at them, and said to Jiang Suoyue with a pleasant face: "Jiang Liangyuan's words are very good, and her mind is also clever. ”

Jiang Suoyue replied respectfully: "Thank you for the Empress Dowager's appreciation." The Queen Mother is in her prime, where will she be dizzy. ”

The Queen Mother smiled kindly and said, "It's old, it's old, and it's not okay to be old." This time, it flies very fast, and I think it was the same age when I first entered the palace. Jiang Liangyuan, how old are you? ”

Jiang Suoyue replied softly: "It's twenty-eight years. ”

"That's as big as when Yu entered the palace." The Queen Mother's face showed a look of reminiscence, "Don't look at Yu as an old woman now, she didn't look worse than you when she was young." Isn't it, Mama Wei? ”

Mama Wei, who was standing again, smiled and said, "That is, our Queen Mother was a famous beauty in Beijing back then." ”

Jiang Suoyue also said: "The grace of the Queen Mother is not comparable to us, although the mother is older, but this body of bearing is beyond our reach." ”

"What kind of bearing, it's just that I've been in the palace for a few more years." Although the Queen Mother's words were humble, when she mentioned that she had stayed up in the palace for a few more days, she still revealed a bit of sincerity. Thinking of this person who has been immersed in the deep palace for many years, from Zhengwupin Jieyu all the way to the concubine, and helped his son to ascend to the throne, although now he is noble and extraordinary, but the hardships he has paid in the past and the torment he suffered must be unimaginable to ordinary people.

"The Queen Mother is too modest."

The Queen Mother glanced at Jiang Suoyue meaningfully, and continued: "You just came in now, and I am afraid that you will not be able to understand these things deeply when I tell you. Which of you doesn't pride yourself on your beauty and talent, and which one doesn't think that you will be able to rise step by step in the future. It's a pity, the women in this palace are stubble after stubble, which one is not a beauty, and which one has no talent? But how many people are honored in the end? ”

"What Niangniang said is that the concubine must remember your teachings." Jiang Suoyue secretly wondered in her heart, the Queen Mother had just told her about her days in the palace for no reason, and she still wondered if she was a little shallow and deep, and now whether these words really mentioned her or beat her, it was really incomprehensible.

The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "Look at the detention of your child, it's just a few gossip with you." Yu saw that your child was a steady and lovely person, so he said a few more words. ”

Mama Wei on the side also said: "Our queen mother has always been kind, and she sees that the little master is very fond of it, and she loves it very much, and she often mentions the little master in front of the slave maid." ”

The Queen Mother praised it. As long as you don't dislike concubines, concubines are naturally willing to accompany you to relieve your boredom. ”

The Queen Mother bowed slightly: "I know that you are a good boy and have filial piety." So-ah-that's a little more important for you. If you want to be honored and favored in this palace, you can't just rely on your appearance and talent, and you will naturally understand what you said in the future. I'm tired of this time, let Mama Wei send you. ”

Jiang Suoyue hurriedly got up and saluted, and said, "Yes, the concubine has left." ”

Mama Wei sent Jiang Suoyue out, and said as she walked: "The little master probably has some doubts about the words of the Queen Mother, right?" ”

Jiang Suoyue saw that this Mama Wei seemed to have something to say, so she also followed her words and said, "I still hope that Mama will give you advice." ”

Mama Wei said: "Don't dare to give advice, the slave and maid will say a few words." The little lord should also know that the queen mother's favor back then was the best in the harem and endured for many years. Why does the little lord think this? ”

"Naturally, the Queen Mother is amazingly talented, very accessible."

Mama Wei seemed to have expected her to answer like this, and only smiled: "This is just one of them. Every three years, a group of newcomers enter this palace, all of them are young and beautiful, and when the newcomers change their old looks, a few people dare to say that they will not let the newcomers take away their favor. Therefore, if you want to be honored and favored, it is not enough to have beauty and talent, the most important thing is to understand the emperor's mind and preferences, and the emperor's mind. Only in this way will the emperor remember it in his heart and pay more attention to it. If you don't understand this, the emperor may be greedy for freshness for a while, and when there is a newcomer to pick it up, he will throw it away in a blink of an eye. ”

"That's what Mama said."

A little mystery appeared on Mama Wei's face, as if she was really revealing something unknown to Jiang Suoyue in the chat, and said, "It's just that this emperor's preferences, without the old man in the palace to mention it, how can he know it." Niangniang also won the love of the Queen Mother back then, which is why she ...... Oops-the slave is too talkative, the little master is not to blame. The slave and maid are here to send off the little master. ”

"Mama, please come back."

Jiang Suoyue walked towards Ting Zhuxuan while chewing on the meaning of Mama Wei's words. She didn't believe that a person who had been by the Queen Mother's side for so many years and was deeply favored would make a lot of gaffes in front of her, presumably it was the Queen Mother who didn't say it clearly, so she asked Mama Wei to hand it to her. On the surface, it seems to be mentioning her, but in fact it is luring her to the bait, how many people in this palace don't want to catch the emperor's hobby and get the long-lasting favor and love? Who in this palace knows the emperor's preferences better than the queen mother? even mentioned the first queen mother, although the words were not exhausted, the meaning was obvious, as long as she Jiang Suoyue took refuge in the queen mother, the day of favor was just around the corner.

It's just that what price does this favor have to be exchanged? She didn't believe that the Queen Mother felt that she was in love with her, so she made a point. The Queen Mother must have a plan, but now she doesn't know what the Queen Mother is planning, and why did she pick her? But she believes that after the Queen Mother's several temptations, she will always expose her intentions.

Now the plan is to wait carefully, but I don't know whether the emperor's summons came first, or the queen mother's means arrived first.
