Shao Xunmei took the two maids Xiangzhi and Pei Lan to stop in the carriage at the Taicheng Gate, the second gate of the palace, and the two girls got off first, and then helped the dressed Shao Xunmei to get out of the car. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

There are rules in the palace that no matter who arrives at the second gate, they must stop their tools and sit in the palace sedan chair instead, unless there is an exception for the emperor's ****.

Shao Xunmei lowered her head and only felt that the weight of the headdress was overwhelmed, and her slender body felt a little top-heavy. And the gorgeous clothes on her body were also modified by Mama Gui and the two girls overnight according to her current size, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to hold up.

Shao Xunmei found that the wives had arrived one after another, and they were boarding their respective sedan chairs to pick up people and heading to the palace.

And naturally, some people saw Shao Xunmei and a few people, and some people flashed a little surprise in their eyes: I haven't seen this person in all these years of participating in the banquet! And its costumes are still genuine, and the crown of the jade phoenix on the head is not ordinary, and people are still so young, everyone speculates, but they didn't expect that this is actually the princess!

It wasn't until someone noticed the low-key mark of the carriage that they knew that it was actually a person from the Dingwang Mansion, and everyone immediately guessed its identity: it was the princess Ding, who was sick in bed all the year round!

And although this princess Ding doesn't go out, there are no fewer rumors about her this month: I heard that Princess Ding has been in good health for the past two months, and she can come to the banquet when they meet. I heard that after Princess Ding was sick, she threw away Xiao Shizi's nurse, which made the entire capital look sideways: Xiao Shizi was a nurse, and he drove people away, which was simply ungrateful and contrary to filial piety. By the way, I heard that the princess took over the "burden" of teaching the little prince, but because of improper means, the backyard of the palace made chickens and dogs jump, and there were many complaints.

So, in this capital every day, in a world full of scandals, Princess Ding, who had just recovered from illness, broke a bloody path in this world and occupied people's attention.

At this time, another carriage also arrived, it was the carriage that Li Tingye was sitting in, and after he got down, he followed Zi Su and Li Tingye, a personal maid, light green, so after seeing a few people, there was undisguised interest and curiosity in their eyes.

After all, these women are either housekeepers or responsible for competing with their husbands' concubines in the backyard almost every day.

As soon as Li Tingye saw Shao Xunmei, her little face puffed up and kicked her, her eyes widened angrily, Shao Xunmei didn't want to see this little ghost at all, but said lightly: "Get on the sedan chair!" ”

Li Tingye said loudly: "I don't! ”

When the people around saw this scene, their interest became stronger and stronger, and some even whispered something.

Shao Xunmei didn't say much nonsense, she directly stretched out her hand and twisted Li Tingye's body, and then directly twisted the person into the sedan chair. And it was accompanied by Li Tingye's shouting like a pig, entering the sedan chair, isolating the sound outside, Shao Xunmei said directly: "Okay, don't scream, who will you call?" Immature! ”

Li Tingye really stopped struggling, and retorted with a cold snort: "I was originally a child!" "The implication is that it's not okay to be naïve?

Shao Xunmei smiled and touched his smooth hair, but Li Tingye twisted his head violently, making Shao Xunmei's hand fall short.

Shao Xunmei was not embarrassed, withdrew her hand, and instructed with a cold expression: "Be honest when you arrive at the palace, don't cause trouble for me!" "This place is a dangerous place, and if this boy gets into trouble, no one can save him!

But Li Tingye just turned his head to the side coldly and didn't talk to her. Shao Xunmei ignored him and crooked to the side to raise her mind.

About two quarters of an hour later, the sedan chair stopped, and after Shao Xunmei got off the sedan chair, she saw that several girls in her palace were already waiting there. Xiangzhi Peilan followed Shao Xunmei, Zisu and Li Tingye followed, Shao Xunmei suddenly took a step and looked at Zisu: "You are the old man in the palace, remember to take care of the prince!" ”

The voice was not loud, but it was full of a sense of majesty.

Shisu nodded: "Yes, princess!" ”

Immediately, a palace maid came to lead a few people in, wide and tall, and the majestic palace door was written with the three words of the majestic Lin De Palace, which is located on the high ground of the palace, and the palace built around the Taiye Pool can be seen here.

The warm smoke of the wind blowing at dusk is intoxicating, and the palace lamps are hung high in ten steps, and the red warmth reveals a little light shining on the cyan slate underground. Shao Xunmei's heart at this time had no time to notice those tall pavilions and corridors, and the extraordinary carved beams and paintings, but she followed the palace maid into the west hall of the Lin De Hall without squinting.

As soon as Shao Xunmei entered the door, she heard the eunuch singing: "Princess Ding has arrived!" Accompanied by the eyes of the women in the main hall, it seemed that there was a moment of silence in the main hall.

And the old lady who sat in the center with gray hair and a kind face was not lacking in majesty, the old lady did not wear any of the queen mother's costumes, but simply dressed in regular clothes, but did not hide her natural and lofty temperament.

Shao Xunmei and Li Tingye stepped forward together, and then squatted down respectfully and saluted: "Say hello to the Empress Dowager." And Li Tingye opened his mouth with red lips and white teeth, and shouted sweetly: "Say hello to grandma!" ”

The Empress Dowager's eyebrows above instantly opened a warm smile, and her tone was full of pity: "Look at this little mouth's sweetness!" Shaw's body is safe? Look at this body, it's still a handful of bones, hurry up and sit down! ”

A guilty expression appeared on Shao Xunmei's face, and her eyes turned a little red: "Let the imperial grandmother remember, is it the granddaughter-in-law, when the granddaughter-in-law is well, she will bring Ye'er into the palace every day to greet you, as long as you are not annoyed!" ”

At this time, the Empress Dowager was even happier, and even said: "Okay, good, don't be annoyed to wait for the mourning family!" When he said this, everyone laughed, and the whole hall was a scene of harmony and peace.

Then Shao Xunmei stood up and said hello to an old lady surrounded by gorgeous clothes on the first seat on the right: "The unfilial granddaughter greets her grandmother!" "This is Mrs. Wang of Shao Xunmei's mother's house, Mrs. Wang. Filial piety comes first, and Shao Xunmei has no reason not to say hello to her elders.

Although, she had very few impressions of the old lady in her memory, and every time she appeared with a very majestic and unsmiling face. And this time it was the same, the old lady looked faint: "Get up, your body is good, sit down." ”

Soon, Shao Xunmei sat down in her seat, and there were all kinds of melons, fruits, snacks and tea on the table in front of her.

The seats below the Empress Dowager sat first of all the remaining two ladies in the three major princely mansions of the Empress Dowager's generation, sitting on the left and right seats, respectively, and then several concubines with status from the first emperor, and then she was the princess, and sitting opposite her was Princess Qinglin.

Princess Qinglin saw Shao Xunmei looking at her, Xiuqing's eyebrows smiled at her gently, she was holding a five or six-year-old girl in her arms, and a little baby was still in the arms of the nurse next to her, and there were two dressed women sitting beside her, looking at the costume seemed to be the grade of the side concubine.

And then down is the meritorious ministers and generals of the wives and the princess and princess, and the princess and the like, and the one sitting down is Mrs. Taifu, who is about fifty years old, and the lady Taifu has half-closed and half-open eyes, and she does not squint, obviously she doesn't want to take care of her.

Especially when Shao Xunmei took the initiative to smile at her and greet her, the Taifu lady only nodded slightly to indicate that she heard it! Shao Xunmei doesn't mean to be bored, it's just polite to greet you!
