Chapter 3: Empress Yan's Invitation

Nian Yao had heard her aunt say that she was going to marry the prince in the future, but because her mother was strict, so far, this is the first time Xiao Yaoyao has seen her alive! It's hard to see the living Nian Yao, of course, I have to leave a good impression! She smiled as best she could put her best foot forward, and raised a hand to run her hair behind her right ear. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info at this time a breeze blew, the bell on the waist made a silver bell-like sound, and the crisp sound of the bell echoed on the lotus pond in this north palace.

In such an atmosphere, Nian Yao finally opened her mouth and said the first sentence: "My name is Su Nianyao, I didn't expect this Beigong to be so big that I accidentally got lost with the maid ....."

After hearing Nian Yao's words, the little prince smiled bitterly: "Recently, there has been a lot of peace in the palace, I thought it was an assassin...... Wouldn't it be good to say that you are the person of Empress Yan" It turned out that he knew her, and when he took a few steps forward, he turned around and saw that Nian Yao was still standing in place and looking at him, "What are you still doing, follow me" After saying that, he walked straight to the palace to the west.

I don't know if it left a good impression, but what Nian Yao made clear was that the prince was the first person she met when she first went to Beigong, and he might not be easy to get along with. But that's fine, Nian Yao didn't say much for his sake of helping him, so he had to follow him forward, and Nian Yao began to imagine the picture of living here in the future. Could it be that everyone in the North Palace is like this......

"This is it," the prince led her to the gate of the palace to the west, and he told Nian Yao that this was where she would live in the future.

Although the palace is not as magnificent as the main hall, it is also magnificent, I heard others say that the westernmost palace in the north palace is the most meandering corridor, the corridor is hung with embroidered cloth curtains, and there is a rectangular brocade barrier in every two columns. Now that I see it, it's really the same as the rumors say.

When Nian Yao just wanted to say thank you to the prince, she was interrupted by Mu Shuang, "Miss, ahhhh The slave didn't even notice that the young lady was gone! Miss, are you alright?"

Mu Shuang turned directly sideways, passed the prince, and rushed out crying, grabbed the young lady's hand, and began to cry. "I'm not fine," when Nian Yao turned back to look for the prince again, she only saw his back leaving. Nian Yao always felt a little reluctant in her heart, although she looked very strange, but in fact, others were very good, but unfortunately she didn't even say thank you....

During the process of walking into the inner hall from the entrance of the palace, Mu Shuang kept saying this and that to Nian Yao, "Miss, I just heard the slave maid here say that this palace can only be lived in by people above the rank of concubine, although Miss is not Gege, she can live in such a good house, it must be the credit of Empress Yan!" ”

Nian Yao sat on the edge of the bed, thinking that the family's mansion was already incomparable to ordinary family members in the county capital, but when she arrived at the North Palace, she found that she was just a frog at the bottom of the well, a bird in a cage, and thought that Mu Shuang had told herself about the activities of the world before, and Nian Yao said to herself, "Compared with people in the world, I have never seen anything in the world.....

"Miss's words are wrong, Miss's father is the prince and the brother of the current emperor, and her aunt is the queen of the dynasty, how many people envy such a family, it is already incomparable to most people." Mu Shuang took out the large and small items in the package and put them on the table to organize them.

A girl dressed as a maidservant walked in from outside the inner room, "Miss Su, I'm Xue'er, Empress Yan said that you can order me at any time during your stay in the North Palace."

"No need," Mu Shuang didn't look at her and continued to bow her head to sort out the package, "I can take care of all the food, clothing and daily life of the young lady without bothering my sister." ”

Nian Yao also felt that after all, she was just an outsider, and it was not good to ask for this or that, "Mu Shuang is right....", but Nian Yao interrupted her before she could finish speaking.

"This is Empress Yan's order, please miss, don't make it difficult for us to do it" Although Xue'er stood by the door respectfully and lowered her head, but just that tone made Nian Yao very uncomfortable, but Nian Yao thought that this was her aunt's kindness, and it was not easy to refuse, and it was not good to say anything.

At about noon, a palace maid walked in outside the door, according to her introduction, she was a first-class palace maid in the east palace, "May I ask which one is Miss Su?"

Su Nianyao got up from the bed in a daze, and tried to open her eyes to see the palace maid standing at the door clearly, "I am..."

"That's right," the palace maid replied, "Empress Yan invited Miss Su to the backyard for tea."

Su Nianyao swayed and stood up leisurely, and after tidying up herself casually, she went out with the palace maid, in addition to Mu Shuang, Xue'er also followed behind, so many people followed behind her, which made Nianyao very unaccustomed.

The back court is in the east of the North Palace, the main hall of the North Palace is where the emperor lives, the west is where the VIPs live, and the east is where the concubines and princes live. The back court agreed upon by Empress Yan was a tea-drinking pavilion in the center of the East Palace.

"Yaoyao is here?" When he arrived in front of the pavilion, Yan Hou stood up and pulled Nian Yao to sit down on the stone bench, and then ordered the palace maid to pour tea, "Bai Lu, pour tea"

"Yes," it turned out that the palace maid was called Bai Lu.

"Yaoyao, aunt remembers that you are ten years old this year, right, you can have your own illusion this year" Empress Yan smiled and handed Nian Yao a cup of tea, "That's right" Empress Yan's hand waved on the steam, and suddenly there were many broken petals of flowers in the cup, "I remember that Yaoyao likes to drink flower tea, right?"

The people of the county capital are not born with illusions, and only when they are ten years old, they perform a heavenly illusion ceremony on the altar and let Yingyue Niangniang give each person illusions according to their talents. It turned out that he was ten years old, and he was passing so fast, and his aunt's words reminded Nian Yao that she was going to have illusions this year.

"We Yaoyao are so smart, I don't know how many illusions Yingyue Niangniang will give Yaoyao," Yan Hou picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. Members of the royal family are generally given two or three illusions at the age of ten for different reasons such as intelligence, talent, etc., and the crown prince with the strongest illusion ability often ends up being the best candidate to inherit the throne.

"Mu Shuang, sit down too, Nian Yao has long regarded you as a family." Empress Yan's sudden invitation flattered Mu Shuang.

"Empress Yan is too polite, Mu Shuang is just a subordinate who can't sit on an equal footing with the master......" Mu Shuang hurriedly waved his hand and refused, if he was at home, he would have been accused by Nian Yaoniang of having no rules.

Nian Yao turned around and pulled Mu Shuang to sit on the chair, "Auntie said so, sit down quickly"

Mu Shuang lowered her head and held the chair handle tightly, nervously unable to speak, like a little rabbit huddled to the side and listened to their conversation.

"Yaoyao," Empress Yan told Nian Yao, "Our county is looking forward to a new Phantom Kagura at the Heavenly Illusion Ceremony every year, but unfortunately there has been no new Phantom Kagura since that Phantom Kagura passed away a hundred years ago. ”

The turn in Empress Yan's words quickly made Nian Yao have no time to react, and her mother told her about Phantom Kagura. Legend has it that Phantom Kagura can communicate with the gods of heaven and earth, and its spells are outstanding, and it is usually made by a very talented county capital person selected by Yingyue Niangniang, and Phantom Kagura can only be a county woman. In this matter, Nian Yao also understood the selection conditions of Phantom Kagura. The lifespan of the Phantasmal Kagura is determined by themselves, and the next one will only appear after the death of the previous Kagura, but the time between these is unpredictable. Nian Yao didn't understand why her aunt would suddenly talk to her about Phantom Kagura.
